Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck

Yuan Yan, Honglian's younger brother, couldn't help but speak up.

The remaining seven cities, each branch, were won with the lives of his brothers; how could he possibly give them up so easily?

"There's no such thing as being willing or unwilling; as long as we have the last laugh, everything will be ours."

"Focusing on immediate gains and losses will only lead to greater and greater losses."

Honglian suddenly turned her head and looked at her younger brother Yuan Yan in a lecturing tone.

This time, Yuan Yan was speechless, because he knew that his sister was right.

"Yes, you are all right. Being able to think so far ahead certainly makes one worthy of the position of Tang Sect Elder."

"However, this contraction of strength must be planned. The Tang Clan never likes to suffer losses. If they have taken over four branches, then we must take them back immediately with double the effort."

"Since the goal is to consolidate power, why not take over Lü Yuancheng as well?"

"You know, that place is less than 100 kilometers away from us."

As Tang Lan spoke, she picked up a pen and circled Lü Yuancheng's location on the map on the table.

Lüyuan City is a city located less than 100 li north of Feiyan City, but it is the largest city within a radius of 500 li.

Within the territory controlled by the empire, Lüyuan City has always been known as the premier city of Luling Prefecture.

Normally, orders are issued from Lüyuan City and then distributed to surrounding cities of all sizes in batches.

The size and total resources of Lüyuan City are comparable to the combined total of three small cities.

"What? You mean, take the initiative and seize the three forces' branches in Lüyuan City?"

"This is such a bold idea!!"

After understanding Tang Lan's plan, Honglian and her brother exchanged a glance, their eyes narrowing sharply.

Tang Lan was the first person they had ever seen who could make such a bold and domineering decision.

However, Honglian still had to remind them at this time: "Our branch in Lüyuan City is very weak. It has only been established for less than a year and has not yet gained a foothold in the local area."

"Besides our four forces, there are four other forces occupying Luyuan City. Everyone knows this tacitly and checks and balances each other. In addition, the city lord's mansion has explicitly prohibited it, so there has not been any major conflict for the time being."

Honglian gave Tang Lan a general overview of the current situation in Lüyuan City.

In her view, Lüyuan City was indeed a good place, but getting involved would be extremely difficult.

If they cause too much of a commotion, they might even be suppressed by the city lord's mansion or driven out of Lüyuan City.

This time, however, Tang Lan, Tang Ya, and the others all laughed.

Whether it's a token from Shrek Academy or a token from the Tang Sect, both are enough to make the City Lord's Mansion give way and dare not interfere in the disputes of the Soul Master world.

“We naturally have ways to keep the City Lord’s Mansion from interfering in our affairs, and we can even get them to help us secretly.”

"The three forces will definitely be the first to annex our forces on the periphery in the near future. What we need to do now is to mobilize all of us back to the remaining ten cities."

“They would never have imagined that we would raid their branch in Lüyuan City.”

"By then, we will have control of half of Lüyuan City."

Tang Lan's voice suddenly took on a dignified tone, causing everyone to stand up involuntarily.

Honglian and her brother bowed respectfully to Tang Lan, then said in unison, "Yes, we'll take care of it!"

At this moment, everyone was completely excited.

If Tang Lan's plan succeeds, the strength of the Tang Sect and the Cloud Residence, which is affiliated with the Tang Sect, will not only not be weakened, but will even be greatly enhanced.

Having occupied Lüyuan City, their future development will be smooth sailing, and they will become increasingly powerful.

The meeting lasted for nearly three hours before Honglian hurriedly left with her younger brother Yuan Yan.

We should urgently go and mobilize members from outside to rush back.

The next evening, a scout from Yunshang Yaju brought news.

The four outermost cities of Yunshang Yaju have all been forcibly captured by the three forces.

The Soul Master from Yunshang Yaju had already left the branch a day earlier, leaving only an empty shell for the other party.

Almost everything that could be taken was taken; what couldn't be taken was burned in a fire. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 940 Night Visit to the City Lord's Mansion

All that was left for them was an empty shell, and inside was nothing but ruins.

The Tang Clan members had already entered Lüyuan City the day before.

Before dawn the next day, the Tang Clan members, dressed in black, appeared on the streets.

According to the location given by Honglian, the three forces are located on different streets, with the furthest distance between them being about ten miles, and the other two being only four miles apart.

Two of them are in the East City and one is in the South City.

The city lord's mansion is located in the north of the city, and Tang Lan even went there specifically to meet the city lord of Lüyuan City.

"Outsiders are not allowed to enter the City Lord's Mansion. If you know what's good for you, leave now, or I'll have to call for help!"

The guard standing at the door saw Tang Lan leading Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao toward the door, and then warned them in an unfriendly voice.

In his view, these people were nothing more than thrill-seeking young people in the city.

If they were to break into the mansion, all the guards would be punished by the city lord.

"Tell your city lord that there are guests requesting an audience at the gate!"

Tang Lan remained calm and spoke to the guard.

"Huh? Which academy do you students belong to, daring to cause trouble here!"

"If you don't leave now, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Another observer, Tang Lan, and the others still refused to leave.

With a gloomy expression, he raised the long spear in his hand and walked towards Tang Lan and the others.

"Hmph, you dare to lay a hand on me? You're asking for trouble!"

Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper flared instantly. Without thinking twice, she grabbed the spear in the guy's hand and kicked it out.

With a loud bang, the armored guard was kicked away by Ma Xiaotao and crashed heavily into the gate of the city lord's mansion.

"What's going on? Quick, someone has trespassed into the city lord's mansion! Capture them!"

Hearing the sounds of fighting, more than twenty guards patrolling nearby rushed over and charged toward Tang Lan and his group.

Tang Ya looked utterly helpless; it seemed her original idea of ​​a gentle negotiation was not going to work.

After half an incense stick,

boom! !

A loud noise suddenly came from inside the city lord's mansion.

It turned out that Tang Lan had punched the inner courtyard door open and was about to storm into the courtyard complex behind it.

"Who, who on earth is so audacious!"

Soon, a middle-aged man who had just hurriedly dressed arrived at the front garden, accompanied by his trusted aide.

"Lord Qu Heng, what an arrogant official you are! Don't you even look at what this is?"

Ma Xiaotao snorted and then flung out a Shrek Academy token.

After receiving the token, the city lord named Qu Heng examined it carefully for a moment, then his whole body trembled, and his face was full of shock.

Before the guy could even speak, Tang Ya tossed him a token and said, "And this too!"

On one side was the Shrek Academy token, and on the other side was the Tang Sect token.

After seeing the two tokens clearly, Qu Heng, the city lord of Lüyuan City, knelt down on the ground with a thud.

He then hurriedly begged for forgiveness, saying, "This humble official was unaware that you gentlemen were here. Please forgive me!"

Then, in front of his guards, he solemnly kowtowed to Tang Lan and the others.

The current head of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, Mu En, is also the honorary imperial tutor of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

That was the teacher of the Heavenly Soul Emperor, who once single-handedly saved the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.

These people have offended Shrek Academy. If the higher-ups find out, even if he is the lord of a city, he will probably be imprisoned.

After all, if Mu En is displeased, the Heavenly Soul Empire will fall into crisis again in the future, and if he just stands by and does nothing.

Then the entire Heavenly Soul Empire will be wiped out from the continent, especially now that the Heavenly Soul Empire is weak.

The Tang Clan also owed the empire a great debt of gratitude, and the emperor once issued a decree that all cities within the empire should provide the Tang Clan with as much convenience as possible.

Unexpectedly, after so much time had passed and he hadn't encountered any of these problems, trouble found him on its own tonight.

"Hmph, now you admit your guilt?"

"However, we are not here to punish you, but to ask for your help."

"Come on, let's go in and talk."

Ma Xiaotao and Tang Lan exchanged a glance. After receiving Tang Lan's approval, Ma Xiaotao stepped forward and patted the city lord on the shoulder, signaling him to stand up and speak.

Inside the room of City Lord Qu Heng, Tang Lan and the others sat casually at the tea table.

Then Tang Ya got straight to the point: "Yun Shang Ya Ju has already submitted to my Tang Clan. Kuang Shi Zong, Zi Zhu Ting, and Feng Yue Lou have launched a sneak attack on Yun Shang Ya Ju's headquarters."

"We have already begun to suppress and compete for the remaining four branches. Our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy will definitely avenge this."

"What you need to do now is to tell your city lord's guards and the city defense army not to get involved in this matter."

"Tonight, these three forces will be completely wiped out in Lüyuan City."

Silence reigned, and although there was a faint candlelight in the room, it was still dim.

Qu Heng's eyes widened in disbelief; he had never expected these teenagers to be so ruthless.

But remembering the two tokens, he could only grit his teeth and make up his mind to assure everyone: "Please rest assured, the city defense army and the city lord's guard will definitely not appear in the area where these three forces are located tonight."

"But please try your best not to harm the civilians around you."

Qu Heng saw the seriousness and determination in Tang Lan and the others' eyes.
