Chapter 810 Xiao Nanye Returns
The knockout stage is held over two days, day and night.
After the knockout stage, regardless of winning or losing, the participating teams will still have team matches and do not need to leave Mingdu immediately.
After the match, most of the teams originally from the Three Kingdoms would choose to take a stroll around Mingdu.
Mingdu, the city with the most advanced soul tools in the world, not only boasts a rich variety of soul tools, but also possesses rare metals.
Even though Xu Tianran had previously cracked down on rare metal merchants, it was only to gather a certain amount of rare metals. After achieving his goal, Xu Tianran handed the project over to his subordinates.
Commercial prosperity is a double-edged sword; after the peak of prosperity, corruption is easily bred.
Merchants themselves are a symbol of wealth, while officials, though holding power, do not receive high salaries.
Most businessmen who are driven by commerce are quick-witted and perceptive, and they find all sorts of ways to deal with local officials.
This makes it easy for officials and businessmen to collude.
After receiving some protection, rare metal merchants reappeared in the underground market of Mingdu, which also gave the original three kingdoms a target.
A considerable number of newcomers have entered the underground world throughout Mingdu.
Whether they are Soul Masters or Soul Instructors, it seems that as long as they reach a certain age, they will know that there is an underground world where everything is the opposite of the rules on the surface.
Murder and robbery are the hallmarks of the underworld.
"Long~"
The bustling underground world was suppressed by a sudden and powerful explosion.
After the cannon fire, only silence remained.
Xiao Ye No. 1 shook the single-barreled rocket in his hand, and a large amount of white smoke slowly drifted out from the muzzle.
Wai Lao Er, who was standing opposite Xiao Ye No. 1, had turned into charred coal ash.
"Second brother, ahhhhh!"
When Boss Wai realized what was happening, a dark cannon barrel was already in front of him.
He felt warmth that day.
The remaining two looked at Xiao Ye No. 1 with terror in their eyes. The last vestiges of rationality in their brains told them that they should run away as soon as possible, but a murderous intent had already locked onto them.
"Pfft" *2
Two darts pierced the throats of the two men, leaving them with only weak "heh heh" sounds as their last utterances in this world.
The surrounding underground vendors, witnessing this scene, were not particularly afraid. For them, who had spent years navigating the dark underworld, murder was commonplace.
Not only did no one flee, but several people even advised Xiao Ye No. 1, "Young brother, Wai Lao Si and his gang belong to this gang. You'd better leave quickly, or it will be difficult for you to escape when the officials come to punish you!"
"Yes, Wai Lao Si often hands over a lot of rare metals to the gang, so they definitely won't let you off the hook."
Xiao Ye-1 calmly carried the single-barrel rocket; he was here to cause trouble, so why was he running away?
Gao Lou looked at the two headless corpses on the ground, swallowed hard. The well-cooked bones were somewhat frightening, but the soul tool on the shoulder of the person opposite him was very novel and deeply attracted him.
Ultimately, Gao Dalou's obsession with the soul tool allowed him to overcome his fear and ask, "Hello, may I ask where you bought your soul tool?"
Upon hearing Gao Dalou's question, the surrounding crowd realized that the young man had apparently killed Boss Wai instantly with the soul-guided cannon in his hand.
Even if Boss Wai is using drugs to improve his cultivation, he is still a genuine Soul Saint.
A soul tool capable of killing a Soul Saint in one strike must be at least a peak level 7 soul tool.
Not to mention, they didn't even see the guy charging up his power.
"Want to know? Follow me." Xiao Ye No. 1 glanced at the vendors and asked, "Where do those convicts usually hide? I, Xiao Nanye, will smash this place!"
Upon hearing Xiao Ye No. 1's arrogant words, everyone hurriedly packed their belongings.
This person didn't just come here to cause trouble; he came here to wreck this place!
To avoid being implicated, the vendors quickly packed up and left.
Before everyone left, a busybody pointed out the direction of the executioners in the hall to Xiao Ye No. 1.
After all the vendors left, Gao Lou stood there dumbfounded.
"Building! Hurry up! Do you expect anyone to tell you where you bought your soul tool?" A vendor who had a good relationship with Building Gao pulled him back.
"Oh, oh." The tall building looked longingly at the soul tool on Xiao Ye No. 1's shoulder.
"You seem very curious, but don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?" Xiao Ye No. 1 turned to look at the tall building, its single-barreled rocket aimed at it.
Faced with the soul tool that could instantly kill Boss Wai, the group of merchants scattered and fled. Those who could come out to set up stalls were all a bunch of ground ghosts, whose cultivation levels were not very high.
Staring at the dark muzzle of the cannon, Gao Louda broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed hard. "Let's go! Let's go!"
"Since you were the first to speak up, I'll tell you, the Tang Clan has a lot of good stuff to sell," Little Ye No. 1 said with a playful expression.
He remembered that this would be a good soul master, so if he was obsessed with soul tools, he should send him his original body.
Whether or not you can attract talent depends on yourself.
A hint of gratitude flashed in Gao Dalou's eyes. He clasped his hands in a fist salute in the direction Xiao Ye No. 1 had left, then turned and ran away.
The large-scale riots quickly attracted the attention of the tribunal's officers.
"Who's making a scene!" Several figures dressed in white robes flew out of an office.
It collided head-on with Xiao Ye No. 1.
"Who are you?! How dare you act so presumptuously!" The leader in white robes shouted, and eight spirit rings appeared on his body.
"I am Xu Tianran!"
A flash of light appeared in Xiao Ye No. 1's hand, and another single-barrel rocket appeared.
As soon as they saw the other party approaching with weapons, the officers realized that the other party was there to cause trouble and were prepared to capture them at any time.
"Xu Tianran!? Isn't that...?"
A moment's hesitation gave Xiao Ye No. 1 an opportunity, and the muzzles of his two cannons lit up simultaneously.
"Oh no! Act quickly!"
Sensing the intense fluctuations in soul power, the captain of the Executioners shouted, and the next moment, he saw a light before him, just like the sun.
"Long~"
The large warehouse that houses this underground world is missing a corner.
Amidst the intertwining of white mist and frost, Xiao Ye No. 1 switched to a hand cannon and began firing at the white-robed men lying on the ground, one by one.
"Why... why is your... soul-guided... cannon so fast!" The captain of the Executioner roared. A soul-guided cannon that could be fired instantly? What kind of god could create such a thing?
What terrified him even more was the frost that had appeared on his body without him noticing, as if it were alive, seeping into his limbs.
Xiao Ye No. 1 crouched down, pointing the gun at the captain of the Executioner. A pattern of frozen flowers appeared on his forehead, which was covered by his bangs.
"The Punisher, who came up with this unconventional name?"
The latest novel is first published here!
"Bang!"
After killing all the criminals, Xiao Ye No. 1 dropped a light blue bomb, which quickly deformed and expanded after landing.
"Murder and robbery are the rules of the underworld. What's the old guy who controls this place called again? Xu something?"
"There must be someone secretly watching this commotion; surely word has gotten out?"
"Never mind, if this doesn't get out, let's blow up the next one."
Xiao Ye No. 1 swaggered out through the main gate.
Fifteen minutes after he left, another team of convicts arrived swiftly and entered the underground world to investigate.
"Sizzle~"
The bomb left behind by Xiaoye-1 was timed out just in time.
Amidst the cacophony of electric current, two more corners of the warehouse collapsed.
Since the warehouse did not collapse, the commotion was not significant and did not attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty's patrol officers and imperial guards.
The merchants who had previously slipped away were all used to the conflicts in the underworld, and they all assumed that this was probably someone from another place coming to cause trouble, since there would be competition between businesses.
All they knew was that when they woke up tomorrow, someone would have damaged their room because of the significant losses. Besides that, the merchants were even more concerned about whether their goods could be sold and what good items they could acquire today.
It wasn't until dawn that two police officers arrived in the underground world of this warehouse.
They had come to collect last night's harvest, but instead found the warehouse reduced to ruins.
Realizing something was wrong, the two police officers rushed back to report to their superiors.
On the main hall of a grand mansion built to royal standards on the First Avenue of Mingdu.
"Snapped!"
The exquisite wine glass was smashed violently on the ground.
"Tell me what's going on at the warehouse!" a pale-faced, beardless man with a somewhat effeminate appearance shouted angrily.
"Sir, we were unaware that the warehouse had been destroyed by the enemy, and all our men died inside. Could it be an enemy?" The reporting constable trembled as he lay prostrate on the ground.
"Enemies? I, Xu You, have far too many enemies! Do you want me to tell you about them one by one?" Xu You angrily grabbed a teacup next to him and smashed it on the policeman's head.
The police officer, his head splattered with tea, dared not utter a sound.
Xu You sat in the main seat, panting heavily, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
Managing an underground world can bring him an exceptionally considerable income every day, and it's not just about accumulating wealth; the acquisition of rare metals and the gathering of intelligence are also benefits of the underground world.
Now that one of his treasure troves has been smashed, how can he possibly feel a sense of injustice?
Xu You waved his sleeve and shouted, "Get out of here! Go and investigate right now!"
The police officers scrambled out of the main hall and ran away in a flash.
Xu You coughed with anger, and just as he was about to reach for his teacup to take a sip, he realized that his teacup had just been destroyed. Enraged, he slammed his hand on the table again.
"My lord, it's not good to get so angry." A man dressed as a strategist stepped out from behind the screen.
Xu You glanced at the man and said, "My treasure trove has been smashed, how can you expect me to stay calm?"
The man shook his head slightly and said, "Sir, money is a small matter, but rare metals are of great importance. If word gets out, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time explaining it to His Majesty!"
Although quite some time has passed since Xu Tianran issued the measures, the emperor still values rare metals highly, a fact well known to officials of all ranks in the court and members of the royal family.
In particular, when Xu Tianran released Feng Jinghuai and Wen Ziyi, two important prisoners who had been in the dungeon, the nobles and the royal family felt a sense of impending doom.
After all, none of the prisoners in the dungeon were without great malice towards noble families, especially Wen Ziyi, who was the Second Prince's chief strategist back then.
After the Second Prince's defeat, Wen Ziyi suffered persecution from many noble families and even the royal family, and the two sides had a deep-seated hatred for each other.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Xu You asked angrily.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Sir, we don't know what their purpose is right now. Is it a show of force or an attempt to intimidate us? We need to report to our superiors."
Xu You looked slightly at the man and asked, "You mean, you want me to go find Xu Zhong?"
