Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Watt reported, "Sir, the deacons of the Spirit Hall are all working overtime tonight."

"The news was spread by the deacons from house to house. At the same time, around midnight, the deacons of my Spirit Hall will escort the people outside the city into the city to sell their grain."

"I believe that with the adults' arrangements, things will definitely change in the city."

Wu Qi nodded slightly.

He knew that all of this was only temporary.

No matter how much inventory the Li family had, it couldn't withstand the people hoarding like this.

If the Li family cannot win over the remaining four major families, they will only exploit the Li family even more ruthlessly after the Li family sells all its goods.

Hu Yanzhen has agreed not to interfere, but for the sake of their reputation, they will not discard them after they have served their purpose, nor will they take the initiative to attack the major families.

At this point, the only thing they could do was to remove all the guards living in the various families' residences.

……

At midnight.

The scene in the city deeply agitated the four major families.

The Li family's actions clearly demonstrate that they have already groveled before Wu Qi.

With traitors emerging from among the major families, the alliances and rivalries have been broken. If no action is taken soon, the family may be disintegrated from within.

Chen family mansion.

The head of the Chen family keenly sensed something.

When they left the table, the Li father and son remained at the scene.

He understood that this was a scheme orchestrated by Wu Qi, who must have a more lucrative business that he had entrusted to the Li family.

The Li family's actions are a gesture of goodwill. Furthermore, with the Spirit Hall's assistance, the Li family is very likely to annex other families.

The head of the Chen family regretted it. If he had hesitated for a moment and stayed until the end, wouldn't all the good things have fallen on the Chen family?

It's too late to say anything now.

Wu Qi's identity is definitely not simple; he must be a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall.

Next, the other party will definitely sweep away all obstacles and change the commercial landscape of Wangbei City.

Upon realizing this, the Chen family head immediately ordered his family to pack their belongings and prepare to leave Wangbei City.

Wangbei City is destined to be occupied by the Li family. Staying here will only make us prisoners. It would be better to avoid their sharp edge and develop in other cities.

While packing up his belongings, he also ordered his men to follow the example of the Li family and sell all the goods in his inventory at the same price as the Li family, converting them into gold soul coins to start a new business in other places.

……

The royal residence.

"What? The Chen family has also 'betrayed' us?" The Wang family head's face was extremely gloomy.

At first, he only knelt before the Li family.

With the Li family's inventory, it's not enough to support the purchasing desires of the entire city's residents. Now, with the addition of the Chen family, the city's market will likely become saturated in the short term.

Their goods, however, can only sit in their hands, getting moldy and smelly.

Once this batch of goods is consumed, the next batch will arrive in Wangbei City.

This is clearly a scheme orchestrated by Wu Qi in conjunction with the Li and Chen families against the three of them.

As he said before, the price of a commodity depends on supply and demand.

With stable supply and demand and stable prices, who would be willing to pay high prices for their goods?
As for the scattered bandits outside the city, they posed no threat to the caravan. The previous explanation was nothing but an excuse.

But is the Wang family truly willing to accept defeat?
It should be noted that among these five major families, the Wang family is the largest.

If they concede now, the market share will definitely be divided up by the Li and Chen families.

Therefore, he decided to take a desperate gamble. Since the Li and Chen families were selling at a flat price, he would join forces with the other two major families to hoard all their goods!
……

Wu Qi hadn't expected the Chen family to be so sensible.

However, he has already decided to support the Li family and will definitely not pay attention to the Chen family's actions.

Since Patriarch Chen is sensible, he'll give him a chance to cash out and leave. Otherwise, if he remains stubborn, he won't hesitate to resort to underhanded tactics.

At this moment, he had already arrived outside the Wang family mansion.

The Black Tiger Sect's powerful members stationed at the Wang family's residence had already quietly withdrawn.

In this way, he could "go on a killing spree".

The God of Slaughter Domain was activated, and the powerful surge of soul power flung open the gates of the royal palace.

Six soul rings, yellow, purple, black, and red, shone beneath his feet.

The guards of the Prince's mansion had never seen such a scene before, and they were immediately terrified and their legs went weak.

"Soul Emperor, a 100,000-year soul ring? How is this possible?!"

Even if Wu Qi absorbed spirit rings of a higher level starting from his first spirit ring, it would be impossible for him to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring by his sixth spirit ring.

It's important to understand how powerful the resentment of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is. Without sufficient strength, its spiritual sea will definitely be destroyed when absorbing a soul ring.

In some cases, even extremely powerful soul beasts can possess soul masters' bodies because of this.

These people have limited knowledge and do not know that a 100,000-year-old soul beast can be sacrificed.

But even if they are Soul Kings, they would be helpless against a Soul Emperor with a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring.

When the Wang family head arrived, most of the guards had already been killed or injured. He pointed at Wu Qi and cursed, "So what if you have a 100,000-year soul ring? You are just a Soul Emperor, while behind us is the Black Tiger Sect!"

Wu Qi sat on a stone chair with a smile on his face. "I'll give you one minute to call out the Black Tiger Sect's hidden experts in the mansion. Otherwise, I can't guarantee how many people I'll kill. I might even slaughter your entire family."

The head of the Wang family was intimidated by his display of power. He swallowed hard and hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Herodo, please lend a helping hand. My Wang family will be eternally grateful."

The Black Tiger Sect's experts had already received Hu Yanzhen's message and had withdrawn long ago. No matter how the Wang family head called out, he received no response.

Wu Qi stood up and shrugged: "Unfortunately, no one can help you. I have already given you a choice, and since you did not cherish it, then do not blame me."

With just a glance, his powerful mental strength completely annihilated the opponent!

The head of the Wang family finally understood why on his deathbed!
The other party's background was probably more significant than he had imagined, and his Wang family had been abandoned by the Elephant Armor Sect and the Black Tiger Sect.

As for the family members of the Prince's household, Wu Qi had no intention of killing them.

According to Li Wenzhong, the head of the Wang family was extremely domineering and had absolute authority at home.

These things were done by him alone; his family members were merely dragged into it.

Wu Qi was not a bloodthirsty person, and the murderous aura in the God of Slaughter's Domain did not cloud his judgment.

"You are hereby ordered to leave Wangbei City by noon tomorrow. I will allow you to take your valuables from the manor, but the supplies your family has hoarded will no longer belong to you!"

With the Wang family settled, the next two families will be dealt with.

But when Wu Qi arrived at Huang's residence, it was already deserted.

Perhaps knowing about the Wang family's plight, the Huang family head fled Wangbei City with his family early on.

As for the family's supplies, he had no interest in them.

Having a chance to escape is better than dying here!
The other family—the Xu family—was in the same situation.

When faced with shared interests, these three companies dare to band together, but once they encounter a major disaster, they scatter and flee.

Overnight, the landscape of Wangbei City has changed dramatically!

The beneficiaries, naturally, are the ordinary citizens of the city. (End of Chapter)
