Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck!

Chapter 968 Trading

However, few people have seen Tang Clan disciples walking on the streets, as if all the members of the Tang Clan had suddenly disappeared.

On the other side, the disciples of the Tang Clan had already donned plain clothes and mingled with the crowd, heading to the various towns scattered throughout the east, west, north, and south of Lüyuan City.

Each of them had a soul tool distributed by the Tang Sect.

These soul tools are different from what the outside world sees; they have strange and difficult-to-obtain shapes, and are small and easy to carry.

Even if you show it to others, they would probably have a hard time figuring out what it is.

Tang Lan was at the City Lord's Mansion at that moment.

City Lord Qu Heng personally poured tea for Tang Lan. Looking at Tang Lan, Qu Heng's expression had completely changed.

Things are different now; Tang Lan is now the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan.

Given the Tang Clan's current strength, even he would have to give them the most respectful reception.

A sect possessing four Title Douluos is far beyond what is typical for a sect.

Even if the three sects of the Mad Lion Sect were combined, they would still be at a disadvantage.

Seeing that Tang Lan remained silent, Qu Heng spoke up, "The Vice Sect Leader has come here today surely to discuss something with me, not to keep me company with tea!"

Tang Lan continued sipping her tea at a leisurely pace. Seeing Qu Heng's directness, she smiled and said, "It's nothing serious!"

"We would like to borrow the Crimson Dragon Horse from the City Lord's Mansion. Ordinary horses are too slow and not very useful for our mission."

Tang Lan spoke frankly.

"What?! What do you want the Crimson Dragon Horse for?!"

"Tell me, how many do you want?"

Qu Heng looked surprised when he heard Tang Lan's request, but he quickly realized what was going on.

He knew that if the Tang Clan's experts possessed the Crimson Blood Dragon Horse, they could provide support to other locations in the shortest possible time.

The Crimson Dragon Horse possesses a trace of dragon blood, and its endurance and speed are unmatched by ordinary horses.

However, Tang Lan only held up two fingers.

He then said, "Two hundred horses!"

puff! !

"Cough cough cough~~"

"How much? How much? Why don't you just rob someone!"

"Even if you search my city lord's mansion from top to bottom, you still can't produce two hundred bolts!"

Qu Heng, who had just drunk half of his tea, suddenly spat it out and stared at Tang Lan in disbelief.

He shook his head firmly, not because he was unwilling to give them, but because the city lord's mansion really didn't have that many Crimson Blood Dragon Horses.

"Since that's the case, then let's give you less. How about 180 horses?"

Tang Lan, however, remained completely calm and began to bargain with Qu Heng.

"Ugh, I give up!"

"I have a total of 150 horses here, it's not that I can't lend them to you! But we need to agree on some rules."

"Similarly, there are conditions to lending you the money!"

Although Qu Heng felt a sudden increase in pressure facing Tang Lan, he still spoke in a deep voice.

"Lord City Lord, please speak!"

Tang Lan seemed to have anticipated Qu Heng's words and was not particularly surprised.

"If the Tang Clan rises to prominence in the future, please do not forget the help I, Lü Yuancheng, have given you."

"Secondly, we need two hundred of these soul-guided crossbows from your Tang Sect!"

"Don't say no, or that this isn't from the Tang Sect, because I already have a thorough understanding of the powerful soul tools that the Tang Sect has launched."

Qu Heng suddenly took out a soul-guided crossbow, then slowly placed it on the table, and said with a look of satisfaction.

This guy may seem like he's suffered a huge loss, but in reality, he knows the score better than anyone else.

"Where did you get this?"

Tang Lan raised an eyebrow and asked subconsciously.

In fact, Tang Lan didn't care about this. It would be strange if Qu Heng, as the lord of a city, couldn't even get his hands on this little thing.

However, Tang Lan didn't give the other party a friendly look and directly held up five fingers, saying, "Only fifty sets."

"You should know better than I how powerful this thing really is."

"Its appearance will greatly change the landscape of all Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level."

A meaningful smile appeared on Tang Lan's face.

But that smile sent a chill down Qu Heng's spine for a moment.

It felt like being targeted by a demon from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

The latest novel is first published here!

As Tang Lan said, the development of the Soul-Guided Crossbow is no longer the same as the era when all we knew was how to develop Soul-Guided Cannons.

The bolts fired by this soul-guided crossbow are not ordinary bolts, but soul power arrows formed by the soul master's own soul power after being compressed to an extreme degree.

Its powerful penetrating ability is even comparable to a very small number of soul skills with penetrating capabilities.

Ordinary defensive soul skills are no match for the powerful penetrating force of the soul-guided crossbow and will also cause damage.

This means that Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level can only rely on their own movement and speed to withstand the attack of the Soul Guide Crossbow.

When a Soul Master is unable to defend themselves using their own Soul Skills, their weaknesses will be exposed.

"Alright, fifty sets it will do!"

"However, if anything goes wrong with these things, I'll make sure your Tang Sect is responsible for the repairs or replacements."

Seeing Tang Lan's serious expression, Qu Heng knew that this was probably the limit that Tang Sect could offer.

He readily agreed on the spot.

Then, Qu Heng summoned his deputy, a young guard captain.

After bowing to Qu Heng, he went to gather the Crimson Blood Dragon Horses that the City Lord's Mansion could control.

"Let's send these horses to the Green and Yellow Forest outside the city. My men will receive them there."

"By the way, have there been any unusual movements from the various factions within the city recently?"

Tang Lan originally wanted to stand up and leave alone, but then seemed to remember something and turned back to Qu Heng.

"Alright, I will have my deputy personally escort these 150 Crimson Blood Dragon Horses there."

"As for the movements of the various forces within the city, most are in a wait-and-see state."

"Our own forces, which were originally on good terms with the three sects of the Mad Lion Sect, did not take any action after seeing the strength of the Tang Sect."

"My men are also secretly monitoring all of this. Don't worry, the branch in Lüyan City will not be lost while you are fighting the three sects."

"I guarantee it with my integrity!"

Finally, Qu Heng placed his right fist on his chest and assured Tang Lan.

"Okay, I'll believe you this time."

After saying this, Tang Lan turned and left the city lord's mansion without looking back.

With one step, he appeared more than ten feet away in the next second, and disappeared in a few breaths.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's sunset.

Inside the green and yellow forest,

The forest to the east is green, and the forest to the west is yellow, hence the name "Green-Yellow Forest".

Tang Lan was standing on a tree branch, quietly watching the sun set as hope faded. (End of Chapter)
