Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 14 Departure from Wuhun City

Inside Zean City, Jiang Xin had already sold all the breeding farms near Zean City to her peers, obtaining nearly 30 million gold soul coins. Combined with the family's previous savings, she had a total of over 40 million gold soul coins.

Jiang Xin divided these gold soul coins into ten portions and stored them in different cards to prevent them from being robbed. Now the entire Ze'an City knows that the Li family is selling off their assets to move to Wuhun City.

It's obvious that this news was spread by the Li family's enemies in Ze'an City, with the aim of luring away greedy soul masters.

Thirty million gold soul coins is a considerable sum for any soul master, and Li Ming has already discovered that quite a few soul masters are already making moves outside the city.

A week passed quickly, and Li Ming's family did not leave Ze'an City. They ate and slept as usual in the city, without any intention of going to Wuhun City.

In the woods beside the only road leading to Wuhun City, several people were squatting on some trees, waiting quietly and patiently.

"Could it be that the Li family isn't going to Wuhun City?! It's been a week, and they haven't made a single move?!" On the tree, a Soul Emperor who was as thin as a monkey looked at Ze'an City, which had already become a tiny speck of dust, and said unhappily.

"Skinny monkey, have some patience! The Li family has indeed sold off their assets in Ze'an City, and they will definitely head to Wuhun City!" A burly man with a shiny bald head said in a deep voice from a nearby tree.

"But Boss Wang, it's been a week, and Li Ming's family hasn't made a single move!" Skinny Monkey said indignantly.

"If you also had 30 million gold soul coins, you'd be even more careful than Li Ming," Boss Wang said irritably, glancing at the impatient expressions of his brothers. He then added, "But it has indeed been taking a while. Here's what we'll do! Brothers, hold on for another week. If the Li family still hasn't set off, we'll infiltrate Ze'an City, wipe them out in the city, and then take the money and leave!"

"Understood, boss!..."

"..."

Seeing his brothers readily agree, Boss Wang realized he had misspoke. Now he was praying that Li Ming would bring his family to Wuhun City within a week. He really didn't want to make a move in Ze'an City. If they made a move here, as long as they were quick and clean enough, the Wuhun Hall and the Barak Kingdom wouldn't suspect them.

However, if they take action within the city, they will definitely be discovered by the Ze'an City Martial Soul Branch Hall. Even if they manage to escape, they will become wanted criminals.

The worst-case scenario is that he was captured by the Lord of the Spirit Hall of Ze'an City shortly after he started.

"No, after this operation, we absolutely must sever all ties with these guys!"

Looking at these impatient, brainless guys, Boss Wang secretly made up his mind, otherwise he would be screwed over by these guys sooner or later.

……

"Bang! Bang!..."

From time to time, a low rumbling sound could be heard coming from the temporary residence of the Li family in Ze'an City. If you were a modern person, you would definitely recognize it as gunshots.

Since Jiang Xin sold her family property, Li Fei's family has temporarily moved to an old house inside Ze'an City. The house is located next to the Ze'an Martial Soul Branch Hall, so it can be said to be very safe.

During this week, Li Fei spent three days making more than a dozen simple flintlock guns.

The flintlock pistol had a simple structure, and Li Fei managed to replicate it with his limited knowledge. Using metals unique to the Douluo world, and enhanced by gunpowder and soul power, these simple flintlock pistols were no less powerful than the police pistols of his previous life.

However, you can only fire one shot at a time, and you can't fire continuously, so I prepared more than a dozen.

Of course, given time, it's not impossible for Li Fei to design a rapid-fire system.

Li Ming also witnessed the power of the flintlock pistol. He estimated that if it could hit a vital point at close range, even a Soul Emperor would be defeated.

The family is currently practicing marksmanship in preparation for the arrival of the next group of people.

As businessmen, Li Ming and Jiang Xin knew the business world was like a battlefield. They had long understood people's hearts and knew that if they didn't have enough strength, they would attract wolves and tigers with their 30 million yuan.

As expected of a Soul Master, after only three days of training, he can hit any target within fifty meters, which would put most police officers in his previous life to shame.

"We're setting off today. The carriages are ready, and we've also hired the Iron-Hunting Soul Guild at a high price. We should be able to reach Wuhun City in three days."

The whole family was in the living room, Li Ming said casually.

This was a calamity for the Li family; once they survived, everything would be fine.

Even if we can't overcome this, we must protect our two sons; they are the future of the Li family.

Li Fei remained silent and followed Jiang Xin into the carriage.

In the Douluo Continent, carriages are pulled by a gentle horse-like spirit beast called the Blackscale Horse. It is said to have dragon blood and is extremely fast, making it the first choice for wealthy merchants and nobles.

As soon as Li Fei settled into the carriage, he sensed someone approaching. He carefully pulled back the curtain to look and saw seven Soul Masters clad in iron armor.

The leading Soul Master had a scar on his face, making him look extremely ferocious. He exuded a murderous aura, and Li Fei knew that he was someone who had been living a life of constant danger.

"Commander Wutie, it's been a long time. Thank you for your help this time." Li Ming greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Li Ming, you've really put me in a difficult position this time. If you hadn't sold your assets and gone to Wuhun City, this wouldn't have happened. You, my old man, now..."

"Commander Wu Tie is joking. I'll add another million gold soul coins after it's done, making a total of six million, guaranteeing you a profitable trip, brother."

"Brother Li Ming, you're joking. Your business is my business. I guarantee to get your family to Wuhun City within three days."

Upon hearing that he had gained another million gold soul coins, Wu Tie immediately made a promise with a broad smile.

"Let's set off now!"

"Yes! Let's go!"

Upon hearing Li Ming's reminder, Wu Tie quickly waved his hand, and the convoy began to set off.

"Master! Madam! Young Master! We wish you a safe journey."

Shen Chenyan cried out, her eyes brimming with tears.

Before heading to Wuhun City, Li Ming dismissed all the servants in his household, including Shen Chenyan.

"Xiao Yan, if you ever go to Wuhun City, our family will still hire you."

"Um!"

Parting is always sad, but if we don't do this, once the theory of absorbing soul rings beyond the limit is exposed, it will only harm Shen Chenyan.

"Brother Li Ming, I see you're doing quite well in Ze'an City. Why did you suddenly decide to sell your assets and move to a city like Wuhun City, where noble soul masters gather?"

As the convoy drove along the road, Wu Tie asked curiously, "It's better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. As the richest family in Ze'an City, the Li family can easily become local tyrants in the city as long as they don't offend any high-level soul masters."

"Commander Wutie, you don't know, I was forced into this situation! Otherwise, who would want to move to that city full of Soul Masters and nobles and become an ordinary person?" Li Ming, who was driving, said with a troubled expression, his words filled with helplessness and frustration.
