Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

Lu Yan seemed to have overlooked one point, which was the fear that every emperor had of the crown prince.

The greater his achievements and the greater his power, the more likely it is that it will become an obstacle to his ascension to the position of crown prince.

Was Lu Yan genuinely surprised, or was he deliberately avoiding the topic?

However, Xue Qinghe didn't seem to care much about this.

If His Majesty were to make any inappropriate moves during the snowy night...

Then let him get well soon.

He, who had come to power through a great wave of influence, seized the opportunity to oversee the country.

It must be said that Lu Yan's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

Xue Qinghe finally experienced the joy of having someone help him plan.

I really don't know how he's managed all these years, surrounded by a bunch of brutes who only know how to fight and kill.

Otherwise, it's those disgusting nobles.

The only somewhat reliable person is Ning Fengzhi, who is the sect leader of the three upper sects and has his own strong stance.

Many things are simply impossible to discuss with the other party.

Now, finally we have Lu Yan.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan controlled his clone to return from Xue Qinghe's residence.

Meanwhile, he was thinking about something extremely important.

Chapter 130 No wonder the evil god loves harvesting souls, I love it too.

That is the initial investment.

Based on his current absorption of faith-inspired thoughts, let's tentatively call them faith-inspired thoughts.

Given his current limitations, it's unlikely he can capitalize on this wave of religious fervor.

Establishing a faith network will be essential.

This is also the solution he came up with to deal with his current insufficient status.

So the question is, how much initial investment is needed?

How much benefit this wave of faith power can bring is an important matter that Lu Yan has to consider.

Although now that the Heavenly Dou Empire has the title of civilian relief fund, it is not difficult to gather the lower-class population together.

However, the goal was to get Lu Yan to drastically lower his mental limit in order to create a node for absorbing faith.

Lu Yan felt a little reluctant to part with it.

His somewhat stingy and miserly mentality might be one of the reasons why he couldn't become rich in his previous life.

They want traffic, but they're unwilling to invest in basic infrastructure.

Lu Yan pondered for a long time before slapping the thigh of the mute girl next to him.

Got it!

The wool still comes from the sheep.

Thus, three days later, at dawn.

Lu Yan led three thousand fully equipped city guards, along with a series of Tian Dou City security officers and staff.

A massive force of over five thousand people marched into the slums in the southwest region of Tiandou City.

With the support of official forces, getting things done becomes much easier.

Xue Qinghe, in particular, is extremely efficient in his work.

In the capital of a country, mobilizing a city guard of a thousand men is no small matter.

With his status as the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe could easily mobilize one or two squads of city guards, numbering several dozen men.

It's just a matter of opening your mouth.

But once the number of people reaches a certain level, things will get complicated.

It's not something you can command just because you're a prince.

That's something that only exists in some fantasies.

Furthermore, Xue Qinghe's limited power does not currently include military power.

Therefore, mobilizing this team of over five thousand people requires a series of troublesome procedures.

Ultimately, it still needs to be approved by Emperor Xueye.

But Xue Qinghe got the matter done for Lu Yan the very next day.

They had enough manpower, including many local strongmen and law enforcement officers from Tiandou City.

In just over a day, Lu Yan had a clear understanding of this area with a population of nearly 500,000.

Good heavens, gang members make up more than a tenth of this area.

Among them, the Bloody Rose, the Black Hand Brotherhood, and the Diabetic Gang are the three major gangs that dominate the world.

In general, the main businesses of the three major gangs are prostitution, gambling, and drugs.

They compete with each other, yet they also have close business dealings.

The yellow of the blood-red rose certainly doesn't refer to simply selling it and that's it.

Instead, it involves human trafficking, forcing women into prostitution, arresting and training female slaves for certain nobles, and even the sale of certain special organs.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Wen, the little maid Lu Yan once bought from noble channels, was trained by Blood Rose.

However, because Xu Wen was of excellent quality and was a tribute to noblemen, she was relatively lucky.

Similarly, the gambling activities of the Black Hand Brotherhood are not limited to casinos.

Instead, it involved swindling, cheating, stealing, mutilating, murder, arson, and helping nobles and wealthy merchants with dirty and strenuous work.

As for the Diabetes Association, it's simpler: it's drug trafficking.

The core of it is the addictive "happy candy" created by the president's first soul skill.

This stuff is a real treat in the slums. Just one bite can make you forget all your troubles and experience joy you've never known before.

Of course, without the "happy sugar," people with diabetes can no longer be happy.

This guild leader is not only a Soul Master, but also a Soul Venerable.

Apart from the first soul skill, the second and third soul skills are naturally no longer aimed at ordinary civilians.

Rather, they are Soul Masters, noble lords, and of course, upgraded versions, without the physical addiction.

In fact, this one has the most powerful background among the three major gangs.

Not only is he a rare food-type Soul Master, but he has also already stepped into the aristocratic class with one foot in the door.

But why would a food-type Soul Master choose to sell drugs?

Leading his men to the target area, Lu Yan gave direct orders to the commander of the city guards.

At this moment, he represented the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, so he naturally issued orders directly without any hesitation.

"Send two thousand men to block off all the key roads in the entire southwest region, and assign a group of men to the magistrates for the smaller roads."

"My requirement is that not a single fly can be released without my order, understand?"

The city guards naturally obeyed and left with some of the sheriffs.

Before leaving, he naturally received another reminder from Lu Yan.

Don't forget to shout the slogan: This operation was ordered by His Highness the First Prince and is to be carried out by Lord Lu Li.

Anyone who disobeys orders shall die knowing why.

Of course, Lu Yan also gave the order to capture as many alive as possible.

The reason is that the execution will be carried out publicly.

After arranging for personnel to block the passage, Lu Yan naturally gave another order.

Five hundred city guards, along with most of the sheriffs and staff, were dispatched to publicize the purpose of the operation.

Maintaining order in the area and shouting slogans to let everyone in the slum know.

This operation was ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince and carried out by Lord Lu Li, with the aim of restoring order to this area.

Good days are coming for everyone, blah blah blah.

At the same time, they collected evidence of the three gangs' misdeeds by spending large sums of money.

You can get at least one Silver Soul Coin just by reporting it.

The more you talk, the more money you get, even if it's just gold soul coins.

Whether it's made up or true, Lu Yan wants it all.

Finally, Lu Yan ordered the remaining men to split into three groups and go to surround the headquarters of the three major gangs.

Each gang has several thousand to tens of thousands of members, including some low-level Soul Masters.

If we rely solely on a few hundred city guards, it might actually cause trouble.

However, when the leaders of these three groups were three Soul Kings, along with a small team of Soul Masters...

No trouble could possibly arise then.

The role of the city guards was more about maintaining order, shouting slogans, and handling post-incident matters.

Those who took direct action were naturally the Soul Master team brought by the Soul King.

Of course, these people also received Lu Yan's orders to control the situation first, and deal with the Blood Rose and Black Hand Brotherhood members after he arrived.

As for the diabetes support group, Lu Yan decided that he would personally lead the team and prioritize its handling.

Thus, upon arriving at the headquarters of the Diabetes Association.

While the gang members were still completely bewildered, Lu Yan had all the entrances and exits blocked.
