Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 95 Slaughter City, the Party-Smashing Team

"Oh." Qian Renxue nodded, a huge weight lifted from her heart.

Jiang Nian walked towards the Spirit Hall branch. Along the way, the area was much emptier, with no disaster victims living there.

After all, they wouldn't dare come here.

The two arrived at the door and immediately spotted the lazy guards.

"What for?!"

Jiang Nian didn't waste any words with them and casually took out the lowest-grade token in his hand.

"Your Excellency, please come in!"

"Ah."

Qian Renxue glanced at the guards a few times, muttering discontentedly, "They're so lazy..."

"If you didn't know better, you'd think they were sleeping there."

Jiang Nian: "There's nothing we can do; the treatment here really can't compare to that in more prosperous places."

"Those guards seem to be only at a few levels of soul power."

Qian Renxue looked at his profile with a puzzled expression, but didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, the two of them met the branch hall master here.

"Gentlemen, what level of Soul Masters are you? Please present... um, greetings, Your Excellency the Bishop."

Sack stared nervously at the token on the table, wondering why those high-ranking figures had returned to this small town.
And so young?

Could it be that I just took a concubine yesterday and someone reported me?

"I came to see you for no other reason than I happened to be passing through this city and witnessed the war."

"Many orphans have been abandoned, and many disaster victims are starving."

"So, I'd like you to send some people to the orphanage set up by the Spirit Hall. It would be a good deed."

Sack was taken aback; he hadn't expected that the young bishop was here for this very reason.

Actually, I take in quite a few orphans every year, but the number is just too large, and the manpower and material costs are too high.

Sigh... who can blame us for the endless war between the two great empires?

If that weren't the case, there would be no need for such trouble.

"It's His Excellency the Bishop... I'll send someone to find him right away."

Jiang Nian hummed in agreement, pondered for a moment, and then tossed a bag of gold soul coins from his pocket.

"Here are ten thousand gold soul coins. Recruit more people; as the branch hall master of a border city, your place is far too shabby..."

Sak stared blankly at the gold soul coins on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

Suddenly, I felt like crying.

They have always been the ones making the offerings, and even when there are rewards, it's just exploitation at each level.

For me, having a few coins is already considered good.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a large amount of money, and he didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, Your Excellency! I will make the arrangements perfectly!"

"Please rest assured, sir, in seven days... no, in three days, there will definitely be no more such a large number of disaster victims in the city!"

Jiang Nian waved his hand: "Okay, I'll come and take a look in three days."

After saying that, he turned and walked outside without the slightest hesitation.

After coming out, Qian Renxue was filled with big question marks.

"Xiao Jiang, why are you giving him money? Isn't this what the branch hall master should be doing?"

Jiang Nian stopped and pinched her cute little face.

"Yes, it is indeed what he should do... However, Soul Masters are also human beings and need to eat."

"Only with the incentive of money can one work diligently and conscientiously."

"How much profit can a temple lord in a small border town like him make? You can't expect the horse to run without feeding it, can you?"

Speaking of this, Xiaobai poked its head out from Jiang Nian's pocket and nodded in strong agreement.

Ever since this guy took it away, it's been eating chicken and burgers every day. It's been treated like a beast of burden, with absolutely no freedom.

"Little White, you're so heartless! How much did Xiao Jiang feed you? Look at your belly!" Qian Renxue grabbed its head with annoyance and slapped its fat belly with her other hand.

"In short, money is nothing to us, but for many people, it is something they yearn for and pursue their whole lives."

"It's perfectly reasonable to trade money for efficiency."

Jiang Nian rubbed her head, as if petting a Hakimi.

Oh, and it seems the shop also sells Catwoman costumes...
He has a plan.

"Alright, alright, I don't understand any of this. With you here, why would I need to figure out those principles?" Qian Renxue smiled and tilted her head, tossing Xiaobai up and catching it in her hand.

He tossed and caught the food.

"Okay, let's go... let's go to the next place."

"Ok!"

This time, Qian Renxue failed to catch it, and Xiaobai fell to the ground instantly.

It slowly raised its claws, as if to protest its injustice.

"Little White, you're already a ten-thousand-year veteran, what are you pretending for... Hurry up and catch up."

"Squeak!"

······
The carriage continued its journey, and after an unknown amount of time, they stopped in a town.

As soon as the two got out of the car, they attracted a lot of attention.

"Oh~ this young man has such delicate skin, it must feel quite comfortable to torture him, right?"

"You like that girl?"

"No... I'm more interested in that man."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, her gaze towards them filled with hostility.

How dare they make a move on Xiao Jiang?
Does that mean they don't respect me?!
"Where is this...?" Qian Renxue asked, turning her head.

"The City of Slaughter".

"Um?!"

The little golden retriever was taken aback, not expecting that the two of them had actually come to the gathering place of the fallen.
What is this going to do?
Are you going to go and risk your life?

Jiang Nian led her into a tavern, ordered a drink at random, and the two sat down to observe their surroundings.

This place is filled with madness and violence.

They seemed out of place in their surroundings, which naturally attracted the attention of many degenerates.

"Kid, how about having a drink with me?"

A burly man stepped forward and approached Jiang Nian, about to reach for his dagger when he stabbed him.

"Ah! You...you filthy woman, get the hell out of my way!"

Qian Renxue raised her dagger with a gloomy expression and quickly plunged it into his heart, then kicked him away.

duang~
The massive body crashed to the ground, causing quite a stir among the crowd.

Everyone was shocked; they probably hadn't expected such a young girl to be so strong!
That guy may not be the best, but he's still a Soul Master...

Jiang Nian silently took a sip of the wine; it was much stronger than the ones outside.

"Damn it! I'm a Soul Master!"

The burly man coughed up blood, and when he tried to get up, he found that many of his bones seemed to be broken, and blood was still gushing from his heart. Eventually, his vision blurred.

"Heh! You think you're worthy to even touch Xiao Jiang!"

Qian Renxue waved her hand dismissively, then leaned her head close to his face, her joyful expression seeming to say, "Praise me! Praise me!"

"We are civilized people, how can we resort to violence?"

"Winning people over with virtue is the most correct approach; we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity..."

Jiang Nian put down his wine glass and glanced at the fallen people behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"Xiaoxue, remember to activate your Martial Soul next time you kill someone."
