Douluo: Villain Simulator, Starting with an Iron Sword Martial Soul

The guards were wearing the robes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

That was the sect that raised him in reality, and also the place where his parents once served.

In reality, he might call these people his uncles.

In this simulation, however, they are the mission objectives.

"Black Edge".

The sound of a raven rang in his ears through the transmission of his soul power.

"The soul beast has been activated."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately turned his head to look at the back of the valley.

There, several hundred-year-old soul beasts, stimulated by the stench of blood, began to stir.

The strongest of them was an Ironback Wolf that was about three hundred years old.

For this caravan, a few hundred-year-old soul beasts were not fatal, but they were enough to cause chaos.

Lu Changsheng said in a low voice:

"Wait."

Crow paused, somewhat puzzled: "Still waiting?"

"Wait until they are fully inside the valley."

Lu Changsheng's voice remained completely calm.

"Sever both the front and rear routes."

A moment later, the caravan had completely entered the valley.

Lu Changsheng raised his hand and then waved it gently.

"Let's do it!"

The next instant, a porcelain bottle containing irritating powder flew out of the forest and landed near the group of soul beasts, instantly spreading a pungent odor.

The soul beasts became completely enraged, roaring as they charged towards the caravan in the valley.

"There's a soul beast!"

Upon seeing this, the caravan guards immediately reacted.

The middle-aged man in the lead immediately shouted:

"Protect the truck!"

The six guards quickly dispersed.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's caravan guards were few in number, they were well-trained.

They did not panic in the face of the sudden attack by the soul beasts.

Two guards stood in front, while another guard protected the convoy's flank.

The other three protected the truck and its entourage.

Lu Changsheng's heart sank slightly as he watched this scene.

"These people don't seem to be weak."

Although his soul power level is not very high, he is very experienced.

When faced with danger, their first reaction was not to flee, but to protect the caravan.

This reminded Lu Changsheng of his parents in real life.

Did they also draw their swords and stand in front of the caravan during that soul beast attack back then?

"Black Edge, it's time to make a move."

The cawing of crows rang out again.

Lu Changsheng did not answer; his gaze fell on the second wagon in the caravan.

According to intelligence, the cargo manifest should be in that vehicle.

But what's truly important isn't necessarily the goods themselves. Since the Spirit Hall sent Dark Blade to intercept the Seven Treasures Caravan, it means they weren't after ordinary valuables.

Lu Changsheng suspected that this list might contain information about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's trade routes, warehousing, and supply.

This information alone is nothing special.

However, if these small amounts accumulate, they may become a weapon against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future.

For example, regarding the Soul Hunting Operation, he remembered that in the original novel, the Spirit Hall launched the attack while most of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's disciples with combat abilities were away.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He couldn't just complete the mission; he also needed to find out exactly what the Spirit Hall was collecting.

In the valley, the soul beast had already collided with the guards.

Ironback Wolf swatted away an ordinary follower with one claw, but was forced back by the leading guard's sword.

On the other side, two guards joined forces to kill a hundred-year-old soul beast.

The scene was chaotic, but it hadn't collapsed yet.

Lu Changsheng knew that if this dragged on any longer, the soul beasts might not be able to cause enough chaos.

He raised the Black Edge Sword and activated his second soul skill, Shadow Step.

The next second, his figure silently blended into the shadows of the dense forest, and his speed suddenly increased.

There was no frontal charge, nor any shouting of battle cries.

He bypassed the front where the fighting was most intense and approached the second truck from the shadows of the mountainside.

A young guard noticed something amiss, turned around abruptly, and shouted:

"Who?"

His response was a black sword beam.

"First Soul Skill, Black Edge Thrust."

puff!

The sword's edge pierced through the young guard's shoulder in an instant.

Lu Changsheng did not stab his throat.

The sword missed by half an inch, but it was enough to incapacitate the opponent, though not immediately fatal.

The young guard screamed and fell to the ground.

Lu Changsheng flung open the truck curtain and climbed into the cargo compartment.

He discovered several wooden crates piled up inside the carriage.

Inside, there was a black box sealed with an iron lock.

Lu Changsheng swung his sword, severing the iron lock and opening the box.

Inside were indeed not gold soul coins, but scrolls of recorded documents.

He flipped through it quickly.

Goods list.

Caravan routes.

Security personnel were reassigned.

A stronghold of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's affiliated merchant guild.

There are also several specially marked lists.

When Lu Changsheng turned to one of the pages, his pupils suddenly contracted.

It was a guard's resume, which recorded the transfer of guards for several important caravans in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School over the past ten years.

One of the places is circled in red:

Three years ago, a caravan from the North was attacked.

The entire escort team was wiped out, and 70% of the cargo was lost.

[On-site assessment: Attack by a soul beast.]

[Death Guardians: Lu Yuan, Su Wan...]

Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng's finger suddenly stopped.

Lu Yuan.

Su Wan.

These two names were all too familiar to him.

In reality, his parents are named Lu Yuan and Su Wan.

Although this is just The Sims.
