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

What if there was another reason behind the parents' death?

What if the Spirit Hall had already begun targeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's caravans and guard system long ago?

Thinking of this, a cold glint appeared deep in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

The value of this simulation became greater than he had imagined.

After the mission was completed, the four quickly evacuated.

...............

Three days later, they returned to the Dark Palace.

After checking the list of goods, the bishop in black robes showed a satisfied expression.

"The task was completed very cleanly."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will only think that this is an ordinary soul beast attack."

Crow lowered his head and said:

"I have successfully completed my mission."

Just then, the black-robed bishop's gaze fell on Lu Changsheng.

"Black Fang, did you devise this plan?"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"good."

The black-robed bishop said calmly:

"You are more suited to the Dark Blade than I thought."

"From today onwards, you may access higher-level mission files."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng's heart stirred slightly.

A higher-level mission file—that's exactly what he wanted.

Only by gaining access to more information within the Spirit Hall could he possibly find out whether his parents died in an accident or whether it was intentional!

A system notification then appeared.

You have successfully completed the mission to intercept the Qibao caravan.

[You created the illusion of a soul beast attack, concealing the Spirit Hall's identity and gaining their approval.]

[Hidden quest progress increased.]

[Current villain rating: Regional villain.]

Regional villain?

Upon seeing these words, Lu Changsheng finally felt a slight stirring in his heart.

In the first simulation, he was just a minor villain, and was killed by Tang Hao with a single palm strike.

This time, he has already been relegated to the status of a regional villain.

This means that if the simulation ends, the rewards he can bring back will definitely be far greater than before.

But Lu Changsheng did not choose to end it immediately; he wanted to continue climbing.

At the very least, he wanted to find out the secret behind that document.

That night.

Lu Changsheng returned to his residence.

He lit an oil lamp and unfolded the several documents he had secretly kept in his bosom, along with the high-level files he had just retrieved from the Spirit Hall's Dark Palace, page by page:

The route of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School caravan, and the mobilization of guards.

Records of several "accidental attacks".

Each one appears to be independent.

But after Lu Changsheng put them together, he quickly discovered something amiss.

These so-called soul beast attacks all occurred at important trade route nodes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After each attack, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would adjust its guard configuration and caravan routes.

These adjustments seem to have been consistently recorded in the files of the Spirit Hall's Dark Hall.

In other words, the Spirit Hall was not simply robbing caravans; they were testing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's defenses, personnel deployment, material reserves, and core trade routes through repeated attacks.

This is a long-term plan, not something that can be accomplished overnight.

A few minutes later, Lu Changsheng's fingertip stopped on the last page of the Spirit Hall's advanced files.

On that page, there was a line of red text.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a supporting sect, it possesses substantial wealth and its trade routes extend across both empires. If we intend to take action against it in the future, we must first cut off its intelligence network, disrupt its trade routes, and destroy its external security system.

Lu Changsheng slowly narrowed his eyes.

We will take action against them in the future.

This statement almost says it all.

The Spirit Hall had been preparing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a long time. The original Soul Hunting Operation was not a spur-of-the-moment surprise attack, but the culmination of years of planning.

As Lu Changsheng looked at the documents and files, his heart grew colder and colder.

In reality, his parents died in an attack by a spirit beast.

It is estimated that he was part of a scheme similar to that of the Spirit Hall. He did not die by accident, but by the hidden blade of the Spirit Hall probing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's trade route.

If so...

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, and only opened them again after a long time.

The lamplight reflected on his face, making him appear particularly gloomy.

Although this is a simulation, he must bring this information back to reality.

Whether as a reward or as a memory, he must remember it.

This is because it relates to how his parents died. Although he was a time traveler, he clearly remembers how much his parents loved him when he was a child.

In his past life, he was an orphan who never experienced parental love.

In this life, I finally had loving parents, but they died tragically at a young age...

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

Three tones, very rhythmic.

Lu Changsheng's eyes turned cold, and he quickly put the document away.

"Who?"

A hoarse, raven-like voice came from outside the door:

"Black Edge".

"The bishop has a new task."

Lu Changsheng opened the door, and Ya stood outside, his expression more solemn than usual.

"This time, it's no ordinary mission."

After a moment's thought, Lu Changsheng asked:

Who is the target?

The crow looked at him and said, word by word:

"Remnants of the Haotian Sect."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng's pupils contracted slightly.

The Clear Sky Sect? Tang Hao? Tang San?

These names instantly connected in his mind.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng followed Ya to the depths of the dark hall.

The black-robed bishop of the Spirit Hall was already waiting there. In addition to Crow, Snake Kiss, Gray Wolf, and several other Dark Blade Soul Masters were also present.

Chapter 15 Assassination of Tang San?

At this moment, a map is placed in the center of the room.

The map shows a route from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City.

One of the canyons was heavily circled in red.

Black Rock Gorge.

Lu Changsheng only needed one glance to understand what the mission was.
