Submission, Acting

Upon hearing what Du Bai said, the Old Titan, Taino, Tailong, and the people around them all looked thoughtful.

What Du Bai said was quite tempting.

Heal and restore the old master's injuries!

Fix Tailong's face!

Ten million Gold Soul Coin!

Help the patriarch further improve his cultivation!

With his monstrous talent, reaching the Titled Douluo in the future is not a problem.

To be honest, if what the young man said is true, it's not that I can't agree to it.

Is what you're saying true?

"Are you just trying to make empty promises to us?"

Old Titan asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Every word is true."

Du Bai replied calmly, but his expression revealed a sense of confidence and certainty.

Seeing that Du Bai didn't seem to be faking it, Old Titan was tempted.

If what Du Bai said is true, then the Strength Clan will receive tremendous benefits after submitting.

This is much better than that old "Daily Sect".

"Very well, if you can bring benefits to our clan, our Strength Clan will sincerely submit to you!"

"If what you say is untrue, and it depletes the foundation of my Strength Clan, I believe my people will not foolishly work for you."

Old Titan reiterated the message, telling Du Bai not to mislead him.

"Don't worry about that. If you submit to me, your clan will become stronger and stronger!"

Du Bai replied.

"Yes, young master."

Old Titan didn't mince words and directly addressed Du Bai as "Young Master".

Seeing this Taino, Tailong, and several other clansmen also addressed Du Bai as "Young Master".

However, before they could finish reading it, Du Bai interrupted them.

"Don't make a sound yet!"

Du Bai spoke seriously.

Everyone looked puzzled upon seeing this.

Why not make a fuss about it?

Isn't this inside my own house? Why would I be afraid of others hearing it?

Even if I heard it, what harm would it do?

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Du Bai explained:

"I just saw quite a few cowards in your clan trying to escape when they encountered danger."

"I was thinking, if you agree, we could put on a play."

"The main purpose of staging this play is to help your family identify some clansmen who might abandon your lineage if they encounter danger."

Du Bai finished speaking.

Taino, the head of the family, and Tai Tan, the former head of the family, immediately understood.

"You mean internal troubles?"

Taino's eyes lit up.

Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone in the Strength Clan has the surname Tai.

However, among those with the same surname, there are some with ulterior motives.

These disloyal individuals covet the position of family head.

It's just because Grandpa Tai Tan is a Soul Douluo powerhouse.

Although they coveted the position of family head, they lacked the strength to compete for it.

Therefore, they hid themselves and maintained a facade of harmony.

However, in reality, when the Tai Tan and Taino encounter danger or difficulties, they might even turn against them.

This is just like the rural area in Du Bai's previous life.

In the village, everyone clearly shares the same surname.

Logically speaking, they should be of the same blood and share the same roots.

However, some neighbors are afraid that you are better than them.

When you have something good, people will be envious and covet it.

You are not allowed to be better than them.

This is also why houses in rural areas are built one floor Lou Gao than the next; everyone wants to be a cut above the rest.

Some people who built their houses earlier don't even allow their neighbors to build houses.

They are only jealous and want to step on their neighbors, without wanting to narrow the gap between themselves and their neighbors.

In the Strength Clan, in this world of Soul Master where might makes right, naturally no family is willing to remain second best forever.

Therefore, there are also some bad members of the Strength Clan who suck the blood of their clan and secretly keep an eye on the Tai Tan lineage!

"Yes, it's an internal problem. The Strength Clan only keeps its loyal members."

Du Bai replied calmly.

"Yes, young master, what you said is exactly what I thought."

"However, I can't make up my mind on my own."

Taino responded respectfully to Du Bai.

Then, Taino looked at his father Tai Tan beside him and said:

"Dad, what do you think? Should we do another major cleanup while we're at it?"

Taino asked Tai Tan.

Old Titan pondered for a moment, then replied, "Yes!"

Every major purge meant the death of some disloyal and dissenting members of the clan.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; even the Old Titan felt some reluctance to execute his own people.

However, if he is not executed, the position of his lineage will be shaken.

Even after their death, their descendants may be plotted against by those with ulterior motives.

Therefore, for their own sake and for the sake of their descendants, the Tai Tan had to put to death those who were disloyal.

Wouldn't it be better to just obediently follow my lineage? I've never treated you badly.

Sigh~

Tai Tan sighed inwardly, his already aged face now appearing even older.

Seeing that his father, Tai Tan, agreed to the purge, Taino said to Du Bai:

"Young Master, then we'll have to trouble you to cooperate with us in this charade and expose those cowards and traitors!"

"It's nothing."

Du Bai responded calmly.

Then, instead of immediately discussing how to act with Du Bai, Taino asked:

"Young Master, my father is seriously injured. Could you please alleviate his injuries first?"

Taino couldn't bear to see his father suffer. Blood kept flowing from the bloody holes in Tai Tan's body, which pained Taino greatly.

"You are quite filial."

Du Bai's comment was one of praise.

However, Du Bai then shook his head:

"We'll treat Patriarch Tai after the play is over, otherwise it'll be easy to give ourselves away!"

"All right."

Taino had no choice but to look at his father, Tai Tan.

"Dad, can you still hold on?"

Taino asked with concern.

"No problem, let's act out the settlement first!"

Tai Tan's expression wasn't good, but his tone remained calm.

Although these injuries were severe, they wouldn't kill him in the short term, even though he was Soul Douluo.

As for the pain, the Old Titan could endure it.

"Okay, Dad, just bear with it!"

Taino replied with concern.

Afterwards, Taino and Du Bai briefly discussed how to act.

Of course, the clansmen beside the Old Titan and Tailong also listened to the plan.

Their immediate concern for Old Titan shows they are good and loyal people.

Therefore, Du Bai forced the line to become sound, and communicated with them in a small circle about how to act.

When they heard that the chieftain was to cooperate with this young man in a charade to expose the cowardly and treacherous members of the tribe, they were shocked.

If someone is judged to be a coward or a disloyal person, they will be expelled from the family at best, and executed on the spot at worst. This is a very serious matter.

At the same time, they were also grateful that they had chosen to live and die with the heads of the family without hesitation.

This not only allows them to survive this purge, but also enables them to get closer to the family and receive family support in the future, which is a good thing!

"Alright, let's begin the acting!"

Du Bai spoke calmly.

"Yes, young master, begin!"

Taino nodded, getting ready to act.

The members of the Strength Clan around them also instantly entered a state of high alert.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes.

Du Bai unleashed the power of his Soul Douluo cultivation once again.

In an instant, that terrifying pressure swept outwards like a raging torrent.

"Taino, I've given you a chance."
