The Dragon's Nature is Lecherous, But That's Just an Excuse

"The two of you, listen to This Lonely One. Everyone here is a person of status and standing; harmony brings wealth, so let us not resort to life-and-death struggles at every turn."

Xue Ye suppressed the fear in his heart, stepped between the two parties, and offered words of persuasion.

On one side stood Ning Hai, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—one of the three upper sects—accompanied by the sect's guardian, Fire Dragon Douluo.

This was a party he had long sought to win over and secure through marriage.

On the other side was Saphis, one of the four Platinum Bishops of the Spirit Hall and the head of the Spirit Holy Hall in Heaven Dou City.

This was a man he had always wanted to recruit but could never sway.

Both sides were formidable figures; even as the heir to the Heaven Dou Empire, he could not afford to offend either lightly and could only soothe and court them.

The Douluo Continent was, after all, a world ruled by spirit masters.

Although the Heaven Dou Empire possessed an army of a million, did it not take time to assemble such a force?

Qian Xunji's strength was immense; he had been able to raid the imperial palace alone and stand before the Emperor.

This made Xue Ye realize that when facing a faction possessing a Title Douluo, if the other party truly intended to assassinate the Heaven Dou Emperor, the empire—lacking a Title Douluo of its own—would be powerless to stop them.

"Hmph!" x2

The two sides glared at each other and let out cold snorts.

Saphis had no desire to waste time in a standoff with Ning Hai here.

His heart was set on capturing more criminals, escorting them before Qian Xunji, and obtaining that ten-thousand-year spirit bone.

Right now, nothing was more important than that.

Saphis waved his hand, led his subordinates away, and continued his work.

On the other side, Ning Hai also had no intention of wasting time with Saphis.

He had only one goal in coming to Heaven Dou City, and that was "Qian Xunji."

He intended to invite this suddenly emerged Limit Douluo to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a guardian and Supreme Elder.

Now that Xue Ye had offered him a way out, he naturally took the opportunity to step down.

"Let's go," Ning Hai ordered with a wave.

Seeing that both sides had truly ceased hostilities and departed, Xue Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Only after he relaxed did he realize his back was already drenched in sweat.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Ge Long asked with a worried expression.

"I am fine, but it was truly dangerous just now."

Xue Ye's demeanor shifted, his gaze becoming sharp and resolute: "Our Heaven Dou Empire must have its own Title Douluo."

He left the rest of that thought—that without a Title Douluo, there was no dignity—unspoken.

But Title Douluos were not so easily cultivated.

Even if he sent his sweet-looking younger sister to throw herself at Qian Xunji, the man wouldn't even glance at her.

To these Title Douluos, perhaps only women who were also Title Douluos were worthy of them.

They wouldn't even bother looking at a beauty with only Spirit Grandmaster cultivation.

In this regard, Xue Ye had misjudged Qian Xunji.

It wasn't that he was too lazy to look at the Heaven Dou princess sent as a gift to warm his bed; it was simply an instinctive desire to avoid any entanglement with foolish women.

After all, he hailed from an era of gender equality, where women could deliver food and earn money to raise children on their own.

Heaven Dou Emperor Memorial Square.

Qian Xunji's gaze swept over this batch of criminals escorted by the Spirit Holy Hall knights of Heaven Dou City.

They were burly, with clenched jaws and protruding cheekbones; their triangular eyes were murky and vicious, carrying an undisguised sense of oppression when they looked at others.

Dark green thorn tattoos snaked from their necks to their shoulders, the patterns intertwined and hideous.

Dark coats were draped carelessly over their shoulders, collars askew, and their thick knuckles were covered in calluses. Standing there in silence, their entire beings exuded a crude, overbearing, underworld malice.

With this image and temperament, one could tell at a glance they were no law-abiding citizens; they were undoubtedly the hired thugs, lackeys, and black gloves raised by the nobility.

"As expected of the most moral, upright, and pro-commoner faction in all the works of the Douluo Continent: the Spirit Hall. When it comes to cracking down on criminals, they are truly professional." Qian Xunji compared them to the Heaven Dou Imperial Guard in his mind and couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

Time to get to work.

He still had a long way to go to meet his KPI of judging ten thousand criminals.

He had to strive to complete the requirements of the Asura Third Trial within a month.

"Nine out, thirteen back—engaging in usury, where the annual interest exceeds the principal, forcing others to sell their children and wives."

"Death penalty, carry it out immediately!"

Those involved in usury and human trafficking were to be executed directly; not one of them was innocent.

Not only were they to be killed, but they could not be allowed to walk the road to the underworld alone; their families had to be sent along in an orderly fashion.

Arranging for their homes to be raided and their clans exterminated was the only true path.

"What right do you have to judge me? I am a member of the Blue Lightning Jade Clan!"

Seeing the criminal swallowed by golden flames and reduced to nothing but ashes, Yu Xiaogang screamed in terror, blurting out his family background.

He feared that the armored man before him would judge him and burn him alive, leaving him no choice but to reveal his lineage.

He believed that no one would dare kill him outright after hearing the name of the Blue Lightning Jade Clan.

A disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was not the same as a scion of the Blue Lightning Jade Clan.

Their status within the sect was worlds apart, not to be mentioned in the same breath.

To kill a scion of the Blue Lightning Jade Clan in broad daylight was to forge a blood feud with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Any sane person would not dare to make an enemy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects.

Qian Xunji turned to the Spirit Hall deacon beside him and asked, "Who is the current Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and what is the strength of the sect?"

He had left Spirit City on the very first day of his transmigration and headed to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

After that, he traveled consecutively to the Far North, Slaughter City, Sea God Island, and the Star Dou Forest.

He had truly had little contact with the natives of Douluo.

He had not bothered to learn about the status of the various major powers.

After all, in Qian Xunji's mind, once he inherited the Asura God Position, any problems could be solved by pushing through with absolute force.

The foolish natives of Douluo, with their strongest skill being "a sudden flash of inspiration," had only managed to move themselves into misery and death.

There was no sense of achievement in playing mind games with idiots.

It was better to just crush them with mindless force.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the current Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is named Yu Yuanzhen. He was promoted to Titled Douluo not long ago and inherited the position of Sect Master."

"His title is Thunder, and his soul power is at level 91."

"Within the sect, only Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen is a Titled Douluo powerhouse."

After hearing the information, Qian Xunji spoke with a tone of contempt, "I had assumed there was a Limit Douluo holding the fort; to think it is merely a newcomer to the Titled Douluo realm."

"Are all you people from the Blue Lightning Jade Clan this mediocre and arrogant?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned blood-red with rage, his breathing ragged like an ox, his crimson gaze locked onto Qian Xunji.

If looks could kill, he would have killed Qian Xunji ten thousand times over.

Anyone who dared to look down on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect deserved to die!

"What crime did this soul master commit?" Qian Xunji asked the Spirit Hall deacon beside him.

The deacon picked up the file, reviewed it, and answered truthfully, "Reporting to Your Excellency, he forcibly abducted a woman in the street, causing her parents to suffer fatal injuries."

"Dragons are inherently lustful. Besides, being favored by this young master is her good fortune," Yu Xiaogang said, full of self-satisfaction.

"Dragons are inherently lustful—that is merely an excuse to shirk responsibility after committing a crime, nothing more than a way to make yourself feel better."

As Qian Xunji finished speaking, he manipulated a golden short sword to sever Yu Xiaogang's manhood, the golden flames clinging to the wound.

"Ah!!!" Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground, clutching his wound with both hands, letting out a shrill, agonizing scream.

Amidst the screams, the golden flames began to spread across his entire body.

Not long after, Yu Xiaogang was burned to ashes.

The Spirit Hall deacon watched the entire scene.

To kill a direct descendant of the Upper Three Sects without hesitation—his actions were so decisive, showing no fear of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect coming for revenge.

Who exactly was this Titled Douluo before him?

To be so fierce.

"I am a member of the Tang family from the Clear Sky Sect. Our Sect Master is a Limit Douluo..."

A member of the Clear Sky Sect's Tang family; no trial needed, just burn him to death. None of them were innocent.

"I am a member of the Seven Treasures Ning family! I did not forcibly abduct women in the street like Yu Xiaogang, nor did I slaughter the innocent in the Soul Arena like Tang Yin!"

Qian Xunji glanced at the file. This man from the Seven Treasures Ning family, named Ning Xia, had indeed not committed any heinous acts or taken lives.

Perhaps it was not that he did not want to, but that as a support-type soul master, his strength did not allow it.

However, they had cheated consumers countless times with their low-buy, high-sell tactics.

Of course, the members of the Seven Treasures Ning family generally engaged in this behavior; it was practically a hereditary family skill.
