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

If you don't have money, the worst that can happen is that you won't wake up.

Even more frightening is that the Spirit Hall in this area failed to fulfill its duty to report or eliminate the corrupt spirit masters.

The intelligence also revealed that the Slock family produces a Soul Douluo powerhouse in every generation, which seems to be something fishy.

Often, civilians are forcibly conscripted into mines within certain territories, and then they are never heard from again.

This is commonplace; it's not a new phenomenon for noble lords to treat commoners as disposable commodities.

However, the number is wrong, very wrong.

The amount far exceeds the usual consumption, and in recent years, the number has exceeded hundreds of thousands.

How many people lived in the duchy of Grand Duke Slok?

His subjects, officially speaking, number less than five million.

Chapter 141 Taking down the noble class, the feast is about to begin.

"Brother Xue, it seems the problem between the local Spirit Hall and the nobles is quite serious!"

After reading the intelligence documents in his hand, Lu Yan took a deep breath before speaking to Qian Renxue, who had a cold expression on her face.

"This is more than just serious; such behavior deserves death!"

Qian Renxue's good mood, which had just been brought about by seeing Lu Yan's true face, was once again ruined by the information brought by this intelligence report.

Even though she had already reviewed this intelligence once beforehand.

"Brother Xue, have you cleared out all the people in this Martial Soul Main Hall?" Lu Yan sensed the killing intent in Qian Renxue's tone and quickly asked.

No way, sister! A black-robed bishop from a duchy-level martial spirit hall is most likely a Soul Saint. It would be such a waste to just kill him like that.

I should be the one to kill this kind of person; I know them well!

"Brother Lu, don't underestimate me. How could I be such an impulsive person?" Qian Renxue shook her head before continuing.

"They've been temporarily detained and interrogated. It's not time for them to die until the matter is fully investigated."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan felt relieved. To be honest, he was really afraid that Qian Renxue might lose her temper and kill everyone.

After all, the local Spirit Hall was so filthy that it shattered his previously good impression of the Spirit Hall.

Not to mention from the perspective of Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall.

Besides promoting free spirit awakening, one of the most important responsibilities of the Spirit Halls in various regions is to monitor the situation of fallen spirit masters within their jurisdiction.

Undoubtedly, the above two points, especially the second one, stipulate that dereliction of duty is an absolute capital offense.

The local Spirit Hall not only violated the first rule, but both rules.

Not to mention that there might be heinous incidents such as "the priest and the little boy".

Once people slide into depravity, it's not surprising that they'll do anything.

Given their close cooperation with the nobility, what kind of good thing could the local Spirit Hall be?

"Since they're temporarily detained, there's no rush to interrogate them. Brother Xue, let's deal with those people from the palace banquet first."

After confirming the information he needed, Lu Yan talked about his main purpose in coming to meet Qian Renxue.

"Then we will do as Brother Lu says." Since it was already planned, Qian Renxue naturally did not object.

Thus, while Grand Duke Slok and others were still enjoying their court banquet...

Lu Yan and Qian Renxue, along with four Title Douluos and many powerful figures from the Spirit Hall, had sealed off the entire Grand Duke's palace.

"Oh, still having a blast?" Lu Yan and Qian Renxue led two Title Douluos into the palace banquet hall.

Among those present, Grand Duke Slock, who was at the head of the group, and three noble Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level had already noticed something was amiss.

Immediately, the nobles present also turned their attention to Lu Yan and Qian Renxue's group.

The lively palace banquet suddenly fell silent.

"Your Excellency, is there a friend you would like to introduce us to?"

Grand Duke Slok reacted the fastest, coming forward to greet Lu Yan first. He glanced at Qian Renxue and the others with a look of surprise and uncertainty before speaking to Lu Yan.

“Indeed, there are a few friends I need to introduce to the Duke.” Lu Yan smiled, but his gaze toward Duke Slok was as if he were looking at a dead man.

As a powerful figure at the Contra level, Grand Duke Slock possessed extremely keen senses, and in an instant, he noticed that Lu Yan's gaze was not right.

But he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Because he discovered that Lu Yan was behind this noble, dignified, and exceptionally beautiful young lady, who seemed otherworldly.

The two expressionless old men exuded a strong aura, the aura of a Title Douluo.

"Please allow me to make the introductions, Your Excellency." The more he sensed something was amiss, the more humbled Grand Duke Slock became.

However, upon hearing Lu Yan's next words, Grand Duke Slock's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Hehe, then let me introduce you to the Duke." Lu Yan's tone was slightly playful.

"These three are all elders from the Spirit Hall," Lu Yan said with a smile, introducing them to Slok.

In particular, he highlighted Qian Renxue's current public identity: "Especially this one, who is the Arbitration Elder of the Spirit Hall."

"Does Your Highness know that the Elder Judge has come today specifically to discuss Your Highness's matter?"

At this point, Lu Yan's tone suddenly changed, becoming cold and icy.

"Grand Duke Slok, your affair has been exposed! Come with us!"

Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Slok's expression changed drastically. He had a bad feeling as soon as he heard the words "Elder of the Spirit Hall's Judgment".

Grand Duke Slok knew all too well what he had done.

This is also why he sided with the Spirit Hall's papal faction early on.

Unexpectedly, it has still happened now!

Without any warning, Grand Duke Slok's eight spirit rings suddenly erupted.

He immediately reached out and grabbed at Lu Yan.

He couldn't say for sure about the strength of that one of the Decision Elders, but the other two Spirit Hall Elders were definitely at the Title Douluo level.

With these two Title Douluo-level Spirit Hall elders present, he might not even be able to escape if he didn't have any hostages.

"Outrageous!" Qian Renxue shouted angrily upon seeing Grand Duke Slock's actions, but she was not overly worried about Lu Yan's safety.

Because, the instant Grand Duke Slock made his move, the two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, attacked together.

The Serpent Spear Douluo instantly appeared in front of Lu Yan, blocking the attack for him.

Meanwhile, the Porcupine Douluo directly attacked Grand Duke Slock.

The fight between the two Title Douluos and the one Soul Douluo lasted only a very short time.

Lu Yan and Qian Renxue only stepped back a short distance.

The battle was over.

In fact, because the battle started and ended so suddenly, many of the nobles present were still in a daze.

However, the three Soul Saints reacted quickly, and the moment Duke Slock made his move, the three of them sprang into action.

He directly used his Martial Soul True Body, not to help Grand Duke Slock.

It was to escape for their lives.

The three Soul Saints reacted decisively, and they did indeed break through the wall and escape.

However, neither Lu Yan nor Qian Renxue glanced at it.

Because the three Soul Saints quickly returned to the banquet hall at twice the speed they had escaped.

Yes, he was severely injured in one blow and flew in.

At this point, the matter of taking down the nobles present was no longer in doubt.

But those present were nobles after all; they lacked military strength, yet they still held the noble titles of the empire.

Soon, a count took the lead and asked, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?"

However, before Lu Yan could reply, his entourage arrived.

Just moments ago, another group of nobles were calling each other brothers and chatting happily when someone suddenly kicked one of them to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile, then his expression turned cold: "Everyone, your affairs have been settled, so come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of Spirit Hall Soul Masters and the accompanying Soul Masters brought by Lu Yan poured into the hall.

They directly took control of the numerous nobles who had already lost their will to resist under the power of a Title Douluo.

"Your Excellency/Your Majesty the Chief Judge, all personnel present have been brought under control." Soon, representatives from the Spirit Hall and the Empire reported to Lu Yan and Qian Renxue respectively.

"In that case, the rest is up to Earl Winster," Lu Yan instructed the chief representative of the noble faction who had accompanied him.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured. Leave the rest to us and the Royal Knights. I guarantee there will be no disturbance." Earl Winster said respectfully.

He glanced at Qian Renxue, who was standing side by side with Lu Yan, and was surprised that Lu Yan had such a relationship.

The Spirit Hall's Judgment Elder!

Two Title Douluo were present, which gives you an idea of ​​the status of this Spirit Hall Judge Elder, whose beauty is otherworldly.

Tsk tsk, this granddaughter assassin's reputation is well-deserved.

Earl Winster suddenly understood why His Highness the Crown Prince valued Lu Yan so highly.

"Brother Xue, have you noticed anything unusual?" Lu Yan asked Qian Renxue after the nobles were being purged one by one.

"Yes, at least half of the nobles present have been tainted by some degree of decadence."

Qian Renxue's face was cold, and her tone was icy. It was obvious that this situation was definitely related to the local Spirit Hall.

They even spread some of the methods used by the Spirit Hall to cleanse itself of corrupting influences.

The aura emanating from these nobles clearly showed signs of manipulation.

If it weren't for the fact that her martial soul was a six-winged angel, which made her extremely sensitive to such matters, it would have been a different story than the reconnaissance methods used by ordinary members of the Spirit Hall.

It's easy to be fooled.
