Alliance of Powers and Taking the Blame!
Inside a cave in the valley, Liu Yanyang and the other three sat cross-legged.
After exchanging glances, Liu Yanyang slowly spoke.
"I want to establish a faction!"
The three wore different expressions. After pondering for a while, they answered in unison.
"I'm in ×3!"
Now it was Liu Yanyang's turn to be confused and shocked. He hurriedly said,
"You need to think this through. Not only you, but the forces behind you will have to join as well!"
The three exchanged looks and nodded together.
"Don't think our decision is too hasty!"
"At our age, everyone has experienced their share of highs and lows. After all these years, we see many things clearly!"
Yang Wudi's expression turned solemn as he stared at Liu Yanyang and continued.
"Most importantly, I know you well enough!"
"You're a brat who values profit!"
His gaze met Dugu Bo's for a moment.
"And you're bold. When the gains are great enough, you'd even gamble with your life!"
"But you're also a brat who values feelings!"
Liu Yanyang felt somewhat awkward. He had not expected Old Monster to understand his character so thoroughly.
"Establishing a faction would indeed benefit you, but the benefits alone aren't enough for you. You might even end up putting in more than you gain!"
"Then the only reason supporting your decision to establish a faction must be your feelings. Since you can consider us so deeply, how could we possibly not trust you!"
Liu Yanyang was somewhat moved. Having one or two true friends really was a wonderful thing!
After calming himself down, he slowly said,
"Thank you for your trust. Then I'll shamelessly accept."
"Old Poison, see if you can bring the Nine Petal Begonia Family in as well. If necessary, tell them that I can resolve the curse of the Nine Petal Begonia clan."
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement. It was just a matter of feeding them an Immortal Herb anyway!
"Aunt Shui, how confident are you that you can bring Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy in as well?"
"I've known Feng Xingtian, the Dean of Godwind Academy, and Huo Hegui of Blazing Fire Academy for many years. Although our three families share both fortune and misfortune, convincing them to join may not be easy."
Shui Xinrou shook her head with a solemn expression.
After thinking for several seconds, Liu Yanyang said,
"If they are willing to join, I can provide an Immortal Herb for the heirs of their younger generation."
After considering it, Shui Xinrou said,
"That will work. They won't be able to refuse the temptation of becoming Titled Douluo!"
Then Liu Yanyang looked at Yang Wudi and sighed. He did not know how to put it!
"What? Do you not trust this old man, or do you not trust the bond between me and my old brothers?"
Yang Wudi's face immediately darkened.
Liu Yanyang waved his hand, pondered for a moment, then sighed.
"I've been training in the Star Dou Great Forest these past few years and have traveled to quite a few places!"
He looked straight at Yang Wudi.
"I learned some news concerning Tang Hao."
Veins immediately bulged on Yang Wudi's forehead, and his eyes turned vicious. "Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao, a bunch of cowards!"
Liu Yanyang sighed softly.
"Tang Hao has a son named Tang San. He is ten years old this year, and his Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."
Yang Wudi, who had been consumed by rage, was immediately puzzled.
"Shouldn't Tang Hao's son have inherited the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul? How could it be the useless Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass!"
"Innate Full Soul Power!"
All three were shocked and confused at once.
How could the useless Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass possess Innate Full Soul Power?
Unless someone had been blind during the Martial Soul awakening and made an incorrect assessment.
Or perhaps it was Twin Martial Souls. But the condition for Twin Martial Souls was that the two Martial Souls had comparable quality. Blue Silver Grass could not possibly compare to the Clear Sky Hammer!
Then it could only be that this was no ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Seeing their baffled expressions, Liu Yanyang softly said,
"Tang San has Twin Martial Souls: the Clear Sky Hammer and an unawakened Blue Silver Emperor!"
Yang Wudi stood up and asked in confusion,
"The blue-clothed girl Tang Hao brought back back then had Blue Silver Grass as her Martial Soul. What is this unawakened Blue Silver Emperor?"
"Could it be the emperor among Blue Silver Grass?"
Liu Yanyang nodded and looked helplessly at Yang Wudi.
"Old Yang, do you know why the former Pope of Spirit Hall hunted Tang Hao back then?"
After taking a deep breath, Liu Yanyang revealed news that stunned them.
"That blue-clothed girl was a Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast—the Blue Silver Emperor!"
"So that was why the Clear Sky Sect secluded itself, abandoned our Single Attribute Four Great Clans, and allowed Spirit Hall to slaughter us?"
"Their future young sect master actually fell in love with a Soul Beast and even had a child with one. If that got out, their thousand-year reputation would be destroyed overnight!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Yang Wudi laughed wildly as tears streamed from his eyes.
"What a number one sect under heaven, what a number one Weapon Soul under heaven. A bunch of cowardly trash!"
Dugu Bo stood, intending to comfort Yang Wudi. But at a time like this, comfort was useless. He could only pull himself through it.
Shui Xinrou sighed. Back then, the various powers had all known more or less about that major incident.
But to think this had been the cause—it made her sigh inwardly over Spirit Hall's campaign against the Single Attribute Four Great Clans back then.
The Breaking Clan had suffered the greatest casualties. According to what she had learned, Yang Wudi's son and grandson had both died in that campaign.
Several minutes later, after Yang Wudi had calmed down, he looked at Liu Yanyang.
"So we were the scapegoats pushed out by the Clear Sky Sect?"
Liu Yanyang looked at Yang Wudi, sighed, then nodded and shook his head.
"Back then, Spirit Hall also attacked the Clear Sky Sect. They only escaped disaster because they fled to the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral grounds."
"Did you know that when a Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Soul Beast cultivates to Rank 70, it enters its mature stage, and its Soul Beast aura becomes completely concealed? At that point, even a Titled Douluo cannot detect it."
"However, when a transformed Soul Beast in its mature stage becomes pregnant, its Soul Beast aura leaks out and can no longer be concealed."
"When the former Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, found Tang Hao and the others back then, that transformed Soul Beast had only recently given birth."
"And at that time, Tang Hao's Soul Power was Rank 89!"
"Tang Hao's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring came from that transformed Soul Beast's sacrifice."
Though his tone was calm, the information left the three of them dumbfounded.
After a long while, Yang Wudi finally came back to his senses. His face was full of disbelief, and his voice trembled.
"You're saying that all of this was Tang Hao's scheme? He could even disregard his own sect!"
Then, all at once, realization dawned on him.
"That's right! That was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and one that could be absorbed without any risk!"
Liu Yanyang shook his head. "This is the true information I learned over the past few years. As for anything else, I don't know."
But Yang Wudi could no longer take anything in. He sank into confusion.
Liu Yanyang sighed softly. He had merely told him what had happened in the original story.
As for what Yang Wudi would think, that was beyond his control.
It was enough as long as Yang Wudi began to suspect.
After all, once suspicion arose, the accusation was already established.
That black pot was one Tang Hao would definitely have to carry.
As for the truth? Who would even care!
