Douluo: There is a troll here, I’m not kidding

Chapter 227 Shadow
While Chu Liang and Jing Hongchen reached a huge deal, Xu Tianran strictly prohibited any form of gambling in the continent-wide young elite soul master competition in Mingdu, so the gambling market of the three major underground forces in Mingdu appeared.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the competition, a large number of soul masters were gathered together, and there were also a large number of soul masters to hold a soul master elite competition.

The revenue from gold soul coins alone from this opening is hundreds of millions, but more importantly, the actual benefits that the three parties can get from it. The people participating in the competition on behalf of the three parties are all talented soul mentors from all sides.

In the end, no matter the result of the competition, the top few geniuses, or even those who stand out among the top [-], are all geniuses, and they are all worthy of wooing.

As an underground organization in Mingdu, they are inextricably linked to the Sun and Moon Empire. They understand what is the foundation of the current strength of the Sun and Moon Empire, the soul guide.

Having more and more talented soul mentors means having stronger capital and bargaining chips in the future. This is a war without smoke!

Chu Liang asked Jing Hongchen to find an informant who he had installed in the underground forces in Mingdu, and got the specific arrangements of the three major forces.

"The transaction volume is conservatively estimated to be more than thirty tons, huh."

Chu Liang looked at the actual benefits that all parties on the list had received from the Sun and Moon Empire, including the royal family, the military, and the aristocratic plutocrats.

The three major underground forces are actually a three-party struggle. They are the real people in power behind the scenes.

"How much is the betting market and consumption?"

"Sir, except for the final prize of the nine-level custom-made soul-guided artillery shells, which is funded by the Xishui Alliance, the other two forces, the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce plans to provide [-] million gold soul coins, and the Ordinary Alliance will provide three dragon girls..."

"That means at least twenty tons of it will go into their own pockets, right?" Chu Liang secretly estimated the materials used in the competition.

Naturally, the soul tools made on site cannot be taken away with the materials provided by the three major forces. A wave of prepared soul tools that are at least level three can be recycled. The value of the soul tools is conservatively estimated to be several times higher.

The calculations of the three major forces are sounding. With each entry and exit, they will be able to make a lot of money and recruit a group of talents.

Even the forces behind them can get a share of the pie, so even if Xu Tianran imposes a ban, he will not touch them. They represent not only Xu Tianran's interests.

"In fact, it's more than that. The value of those soul guides that have been produced on site will increase. If operated properly, it will be conservatively increased by [-] tons." The person Jing Hongchen found was a woman with a pretty face and straight black face. She has short hair with side bangs and a professional attire that is smart yet elegant.

Chu Liang was a little surprised when she heard this. This information was already the tacit core information of the three major underground forces. It was not easy for her to get it as an undercover agent.

Moreover, he can control the data so clearly, which shows that his ability is outstanding, and he is worthy of being the person specially chosen by Jing Hongchen.

"What role do you play in the three major forces?"

"Sir, I am the deputy leader of the third assassination team of the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh?" Chu Liang's eyes narrowed. This position is very special. Among the three major underground forces, the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce has a very clear role, including assassination, protection, and intelligence.

It can be said that after Xu Tianran ascended the throne, those who opposed him were basically wiped out quietly by the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce.

This is a force that offends people, but at the same time it also has a strong background, the Sun and Moon Empire military.

And being able to penetrate this place is a big deal for Jing Hongchen...

The woman in front of her also has the cultivation level of Soul Saint, but the strength of the assassin cannot be judged by appearance. If she is targeted by them, even if her cultivation level is one or two levels higher, it is normal for her to die in their hands.

However, these people generally don't take action. Once they miss, they will only face death. They are trump cards that will never be used until the critical moment.

"Help me find a person, he should be in Xishui League, his name is Xuan Yi."

"Sir, this person has left Mingdu today." "Huh?" Chu Liang originally planned to use the convenience of underground forces to find Xuan Yi's whereabouts, but he did not expect that Xuan Yi was already gone.

"Where did you go?"

"My subordinates don't know that the thieves outside the city noticed that he seemed to be heading to the northwest."

Chu Liang frowned a little. If it was to the east, he could guess, but if it was to the west, it could only be a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult within the Sun and Moon Empire.

It's not like looking for a needle in a haystack, but you can only try your luck.

After sending the other party away, Chu Liang lost interest in the three major underground forces. Although the leader of the Xishui Alliance was Fengling and the internal elders were all elders of the Holy Spirit Sect, Xu Tianran was the one who facilitated the infiltration of these people into Mingdu.

Chu Liang didn't want to get involved. The evil soul master couldn't be killed cleanly. He couldn't change people's attitude towards the evil soul master and provide correct guidance.

The more you kill, the more evil soul masters you will get.

Zhu Yan and Xuan Yi both had their own plans, but Chu Liang still couldn't figure out why Xuan Yi wanted to join the Holy Spirit Cult.

Yes, Xuan Yi also took the initiative to join the Holy Spirit Cult. This is the conclusion Chu Liang came to after some investigation. He comes from a family and once had a love affair that made others envious. However, there are only Zhang Lexuan and others in the inner courtyard. Very few people know this.

But I don’t know since when, Xuan Yi’s partner disappeared.

Xuan Yi's appearance remained unchanged, but his methods of dealing with evil soul masters became more and more brutal, and his fighting methods became more and more crazy.

The result of Chu Liang's investigation was that Xuan Yi's family was also quietly wiped out in those years. Shrek Academy only found out about this later.

When Chu Liang found the family's ruins, he only saw hundreds of black earthen graves...

Like a mass grave, the blood had soaked into the soil. Chu Liang couldn't tell whether it was Xuan Yi's blood or his clansmen, or maybe both.

"This communication soul guide can contact me directly. If I need anything, I will naturally come to you. Go ahead."

She took the communication soul guide from Chu Liang's hand with both hands, lowered her head, and moved her eyes slightly. She was a smart person, and immediately understood what Chu Liang meant, and said: "Thank you, sir. My code name is Shadow, and my martial soul is also Shadow." .”

After saying that, the whole person turned into a shadow and disappeared into the shadow under his feet.

Chu Liang didn't say it clearly, but Ying understood what he meant. The value of these beings who were cultivated as victims was given by the people behind them.

It can be said that they have no room to resist even if it means life or death. It is a useful weapon in anyone's hands.

If Chu Liang wants it, he only needs to tell Jing Hongchen, and he won't mind giving Chu Liang a few useful chess pieces, even if it's just a small favor.

As for keeping such a hand, I just want to see the changes in the Holy Spirit Religion, and what is Zhu Yan’s current identity in the Holy Spirit Religion...

While undercurrents were surging from all sides, in Mingdu and the imperial palace.

Xu Tianran was very ambitious and smart. He did not immediately ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Instead, he temporarily controlled the Sun and Moon Empire in the name of regent.

It is not that easy for a disabled person to successfully become emperor. It is a big problem for the people of the Sun and Moon Empire to accept the fact that his legs are disabled.

Xu Tianran can only use the last two years to gradually improve people's livelihood. Only in this way can he secure the throne. However, it makes no difference whether he calls himself emperor or not. The Sun and Moon Empire is already under his control.
