Chapter 126: The Breaking One Clan
In the distance, Lin Gong and Yang Xiong looked at the violent scene, their mouths twitching. The losses for the Elephant Sect this time were huge.
Originally, they had sent three Soul Douluos and nine Soul Saints, two of whom should have just absorbed their Soul Rings, so it seemed they were preparing to hunt Soul Rings on a large scale.
But after the powerful attacks from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, one of the Soul Douluos was crushed on the spot by the Sky Blue Bull Python, and the other was shattered by the Titan Giant Ape while holding the rear.
Seven of the nine Soul Saints were directly lost, all killed on the spot, including the one who was absorbing a Soul Ring, a quasi-Soul Douluo.
Only Huyan Zhen, along with two Soul Saints, managed to escape, but the three of them were also badly injured.
However, it was Huyan Zhen's combat power that surprised Yang Xiong. As expected of the sect leader of the Elephant Sect, and true to the title of "the world's strongest defense," he almost had combat power at the level of a newly appointed Title Douluo. His defense was particularly strong, withstanding several attacks from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python without dying. Indeed, he was strong.
It was really hard to tell how long it would take for the Elephant Sect to recover after this battle. At least, they wouldn't be so arrogant in the short term.
After communicating with Xiao Wu, Yang Xiong left directly.
Lin Gong, a bit confused, asked, "Xiao Xiong, are we going back now?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "Not yet. I have something to deal with in the Star Luo Empire."
Lin Gong was puzzled. "The Star Luo Empire? Where are you going?"
Yang Xiong replied, "I'm going to the Broken One Clan's stronghold. There's something only they can help me with."
Lin Gong became a bit serious. "What are you going to do with the Broken One Clan? They're not easy to provoke. Their combat power is very strong, and the Broken Soul Spear is a top-tier weapon spirit. Clan leader Yang Wudi is a top-tier Soul Douluo. They have no dealings with our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Don't worry, Teacher Lin. I won't conflict with them. We might have unexpected gains instead."
...
Neither of them dwelled on it further, and they simply headed directly towards the Star Luo Empire along the Star Dou Forest.
The Star Dou Forest spans both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. There's no need to cross the border to travel directly from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Star Luo Empire.
They encountered no issues along the way, and once they exited the Star Dou Forest, the two rented a carriage to head to the Broken One Clan's stronghold.
After more than ten days, Yang Xiong and his group arrived at a very special small town. This town mainly traded medicinal goods, particularly those from the Broken One Clan's alchemy.
Although the Broken One Clan had only a few hundred members, everyone was proficient in alchemy. They were the largest alchemy family on the entire Douluo Continent, and their concocted medicines were of excellent quality.
When they arrived at the Broken One Clan, Lin Gong directly revealed their identities. "Tell your clan leader that Lin Gong and Yang Xiong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are here to visit."
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wasn't very well known in the Star Luo Empire, it was still a top-tier sect, so they were quickly brought inside the Broken One Clan and directly into their main hall.
Upon entering the Broken One Clan's premises, Yang Xiong noticed the unusually strong herbal aroma everywhere, and it seemed like everyone was radiating a killing intent. As expected, the Broken One Clan was known as a warrior clan.
In the center of the hall sat a very tall elder. His figure was slim, his muscles very firm, and his expression was cold. His eyes were slightly dim, yet sharp as lightning, giving him an extremely fierce look.
This person was none other than Yang Wudi, the clan leader of the Broken One Clan, a rare pure offensive Soul Douluo, whose combat strength was even on par with a Title Douluo.
Yang Wudi seemed to recognize Lin Gong and spoke first, "Lin Gong, didn't you hide in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect all these years? Why are you out now?"
Lin Gong smiled. "I just wanted to get out and stretch my legs. What, does Clan Leader Yang not welcome me?"
"Besides, my past experiences were nothing compared to yours, Clan Leader Yang."
Yang Wudi snorted coldly. "Was it just the Spirit Hall? We didn't fear the Spirit Hall back then, and we were even willing to die in battle. But weren't you the one who was afraid of the Spirit Hall back then?"
Lin Gong sighed. "The Spirit Hall back then was just bullying the weak. Now, I'm with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Spirit Hall can't do anything to me."
"However, Clan Leader Yang, your Broken One Clan owes our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a small favor from back then. You wouldn't be unreasonable, would you?"
Lin Gong had already mentioned this to Yang Xiong. Back then, the four single-attribute families were abandoned by the Haotian Sect and surrounded by the Spirit Hall. If it weren't for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect leading their armies to rescue them, and even the Heaven Dou Empire sending troops, the single-attribute families would not have escaped so easily.
Yang Wudi fell silent for a moment. "I, Yang Wudi, am not an unreasonable person. If you have something to ask, just speak. As long as it's not too excessive, I'll try my best to help."
Lin Gong smiled. "This time, it's not a matter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, nor is it about the favor from back then. It's just that this little friend beside me has something he wants to ask of you."
Yang Wudi immediately turned his gaze to Yang Xiong, his eyes sharp, almost filled with aggression.
"Youngster, are you from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? What do you want from me?"
Yang Xiong slightly bowed. "Senior Yang, I'm Yang Xiong, from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I've come here to make a small trade with you."
Yang Wudi immediately laughed loudly. "A mere Soul Sect? Judging by your appearance, you're probably no older than fifteen. Do you know where this is? The Broken One Clan only knows how to fight, not trade."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Senior, how can you reject a trade without even hearing about it? Does age matter that much to you?"
Yang Wudi's face darkened. "My Broken One Clan is doing well in the Star Luo Empire, and I don't want to have anything to do with the Three Upper Sects. If you really want to make a trade, get your elders to come. Maybe I'll take an interest then."
At this point, Lin Gong interjected. "Yang Wudi, don't underestimate people. Although Yang Xiong is young, he has already been accepted as a disciple by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. Surely you don't want Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to come and talk to you, do you?"
Lin Gong said this to show Yang Xiong's status, as a mere Soul Sect would have no standing in front of Yang Wudi otherwise.
Yang Wudi's face turned black. "Yang Xiong, I've heard that name before. I heard you performed well in the Soul Master Competition, but you ultimately lost to the Spirit Hall. You really embarrassed your master."
Yang Xiong chuckled. "Isn't it normal for Soul Masters to win and lose? I was only a forty-level quasi-Soul Sect at the time, and they had three Soul Kings. If I had won, that would have been abnormal."
"Besides, I lost to them today, but next time, I might win. After all, I'm much younger than they are, and I have plenty of time to surpass them."
Yang Wudi's face darkened. "You should know that you were born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It doesn't matter who you lose to, but you can't lose to the Spirit Hall. As a warrior, you should fight to the death."
Yang Xiong's expression changed. "Senior Yang, you shouldn't speak so harshly. Besides me, our team also has Tang San from the Haotian Sect, Yu Tianheng from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even members from the Bilan Clan and the Star Luo Royal Family. At least, I performed better than anyone else, and my combat power is superior."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi's face immediately darkened, and he released an intense killing intent. Yang Xiong felt this cold aura, sharp and piercing, as if his body was about to be pierced.
"What do you mean by that? You should know that my Broken One Clan despises the Haotian Sect and Spirit Hall the most. How dare you mention them here? This is my Broken One Clan, and Lin Gong might not be able to protect you."
Yang Xiong smiled. "I'm here on my own behalf. It has nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or Teacher Lin."
Yang Wudi sneered. "Then, I'll consider this a favor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Lin Gong. Tell me, what trade do you want to make?"
Yang Xiong clearly noticed the disdain in Yang Wudi's eyes. For a powerful expert like Yang Wudi, all talents, no matter how outstanding, seemed distant, especially since Yang Xiong was only a Soul Sect.
But Yang Xiong had no face in front of Yang Wudi, as face was earned through strength.
Yang Xiong paused for a moment before speaking. "Senior Yang, I've heard that your Broken One Clan is searching for a spiritual herb. I might have been lucky and obtained it."
Yang Wudi, who had previously been indifferent, was immediately shocked. "What did you say? You've obtained a spiritual herb?"
Yang Xiong smiled. "Senior, don't be nervous. Rather than calling it a spiritual herb, it's more accurate to call it a celestial herb. I was lucky enough to obtain it."
Yang Wudi's eyes widened, and he seemed extremely excited. "Are you saying you've obtained the Yuxiang Qiluo Celestial Herb? Impossible! My Broken One Clan has searched for generations, and there's no way such a herb exists!"
Before Yang Wudi could continue, Yang Xiong already produced a large pink flower, with no leaves and a stem close to a meter long. The flower had a diameter of over a foot, and each petal was as clear as crystal. The stamens were all purple, like embedded jewels.
Yang Wudi was stunned, his eyes flickering with excitement as he gazed at the Yuxiang Qiluo Celestial Herb in Yang Xiong's hands, as if he had seen a treasure or a beloved beauty. He seemed somewhat intoxicated.
"Impossible, it really is the Yuxiang Qiluo Celestial Herb! Where did you get it from?"
Without a word, Yang Xiong put the Yuxiang Qiluo Celestial Herb into his soul guide, his lips curling into a faint smile.
Yang Wudi's face turned ashen, filled with rage. "What do you want to do? Are you trying to show off this herb in front of my Broken One Clan?"
Yang Xiong's expression remained calm. "I don't want to show off. I just want to prove that I have this herb. I think now I have the right to talk trade with you, Senior Yang."
Yang Wudi's face darkened. "Aren't you afraid I'll keep you and Lin Gong here? This is my Broken One Clan. I don't let anyone manipulate me."
Seeing the tension rise, Lin Gong quickly intervened. "Yang Wudi, don't be too harsh. We're guests here, after all. We even have a common enemy, the Spirit Hall. In some sense, we share the same stance. Surely we don't need to fight over this so-called celestial herb."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi finally calmed down and spoke reluctantly. "You've won, brat. Tell me what trade you want to make, but don't think you can make unreasonable demands."
