My Fate Is Mine... Forget It, Hope My Luck Explodes!
Liu Yanyang and the other three sat back down. Their emotions gradually settled, and silence filled the air.
"Old Yang, you know how terrifying Tang San's talent as a wielder of Twin Martial Souls is. I don't need to say more."
"As far as I know, Bai He, the Clan Leader of the Speed Clan, is Tang San's great-uncle, right?"
Liu Yanyang looked at Yang Wudi and spoke helplessly.
"Little Monster, you don't need to say any more. I'll personally go see Old White Bird. As for Old Rhinoceros, there won't be any problem. I'll personally go find Old Orangutan as well!"
Yang Wudi's gaze was fierce and resolute. He could not let the Single Attribute Four Great Clans repeat the same mistakes. Tang Hao had to die!
Liu Yanyang shook his head, his tone calm.
"Old Yang, are you sure Tai Tan will really join us?"
He did not dare gamble. Tai Tan's servility ran too deep. From the very beginning, the Strength Clan had been abandoned by him—or rather, Tai Tan was the only target he had given up on.
"Little Monster, after being brothers for so many years, I know very well what kind of person Tai Tan is."
"But the one he is loyal to is Tang Hao!"
Liu Yanyang's tone carried a faint trace of anger.
"Clear Sky Sect abandoned our Single Attribute Four Great Clans, and Tang Hao was the chief culprit behind the destruction of our four clans. How could Old Orangutan possibly be loyal to him?" Yang Wudi said indignantly.
"Really? Then tell me, why was the Strength Clan the only one among the four clans with the fewest casualties? And how were they able to hide in Heaven Dou City so quickly?"
Liu Yanyang immediately stood up and walked toward Yang Wudi step by step.
"Did Tai Tan ever tell you?"
"What if one day Tang Hao brings Tang San to seek your forgiveness? Faced with the temptation of Twin Martial Souls, would Tai Tan turn on us? Or Bai He?"
When he reached Yang Wudi, Liu Yanyang stared him down.
Yang Wudi was already dumbfounded. He did not dare think about what Liu Yanyang had said, his mind a complete mess.
Seeing this, Liu Yanyang continued.
"Do you know Moonlight Pavilion? Its master is named Tang Yuehua!"
The bewildered Yang Wudi instantly raised his head and stared at Liu Yanyang.
"If you don't believe me, ask Old Poison. He lives in Heaven Dou City."
Yang Wudi immediately turned his head, only to see Dugu Bo nod at him.
It was as though all strength had been drained from his body. He collapsed weakly to the ground.
Liu Yanyang sighed softly, patted his shoulder, and walked out of the cave.
Dugu Bo and Shui Xinrou both shook their heads and followed Liu Yanyang outside.
Outside the cave, Dugu Bo saw Liu Yanyang gazing sorrowfully at the sky and patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Little Monster. Old Yang will come around."
"I hope so."
Liu Yanyang sighed, then looked at Shui Xinrou.
"Aunt Shui, please apologize to Bing'er for me. I probably won't be going to Skywater City for quite a while."
Shui Xinrou walked up to Liu Yanyang and patted his shoulder.
"Stay safe. I'll explain things to Bing'er."
Liu Yanyang nodded. Shui Xinrou then bade the two farewell, summoned her Martial Soul, and flew toward Skywater City.
Watching Shui Xinrou's departing figure, Liu Yanyang fell into thought.
Today, I had no choice but to hit Old Yang with so much heavy news. It was all to make the Breaking, Defense, and Speed Clans truly devote themselves to us.
Now, it depends on what Old Yang does.
Nothing happened that night. At dawn, faint morning light appeared.
Liu Yanyang and Dugu Bo had stood in place for the entire night when footsteps sounded behind them.
Yang Wudi slowly walked toward them, his gaze clear and bright.
"Little Monster, there won't be any problem with Old White Bird or Old Rhinoceros. As for Old Orangutan, I still choose to trust him."
Liu Yanyang nodded. This was within his expectations. Making Old Monster and the others give up on Tai Tan was not something that could be resolved with just a few words.
Then, looking at Yang Wudi, he spoke calmly.
"How about this, Old Monster? Don't tell Tai Tan about creating a faction for now. If the Speed and Defense Clans are willing to join, each clan will receive one Low-grade Immortal Herb."
"Tang San is in the Heaven Dou Empire. Tang Hao will most likely have him participate in the next Soul Master Competition. When Tang San goes to Heaven Dou City, we'll see what Tai Tan chooses."
Yang Wudi nodded in agreement. If Tai Tan truly bowed his head and submitted to Tang San, then he and Tai Tan could only become strangers.
Liu Yanyang clasped his hands slightly toward the two.
"Then, Old Monster, Old Poison, let us part ways here!"
"Little Monster, where are you planning to go?" the two asked in unison.
"To cultivate in the Mixed Ring of the Star Dou Great Forest. The natural energy there is far denser than outside, and Soul Power cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort."
"More importantly, I want to try my luck and see if I can find some treasure!"
With that, Liu Yanyang turned around, summoned his Golden Scale Wings, and flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Watching Liu Yanyang's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Dugu Bo patted Yang Wudi's shoulder.
"Since Little Monster intends to create a faction, we old fellows should lend him more support. It can be considered leaving a good path for the younger generation."
Yang Wudi sighed softly, then nodded in agreement.
Three months later.
In the Mixed Ring of the Star Dou Great Forest, atop a towering tree.
Dressed in a black robe, Liu Yanyang stood quietly on the tree, watching a Lava Sub-dragon resting ahead of him. It was nearly thirty thousand years old.
Three months ago, when he had first arrived at the Mixed Ring of the Star Dou Great Forest, he had been full of high spirits. It was only a soul bone. With so many ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts in the Mixed Ring, there had to be some Soul Beasts with collections.
He had even shouted, "My fate is mine, not Heaven's!"
The result was that over the entire three months, he had raided countless Soul Beast caves. Forget soul bones—he had not even found a single fragment.
Looking at the Lava Sub-dragon before him, he could only hope that his luck would explode today and that he would find a soul bone inside its cave.
One hour later.
Liu Yanyang emerged from the cave without joy or sorrow, returned to his temporary residence, and lay down on a stone slab.
I'm tired! Just destroy everything already!
Soul bones in this era were simply too rare. Even major powers with millennia of inheritance possessed only a few inherited soul bones.
He did know where there were soul bones: among the fierce beasts beneath the Lake of Life.
Especially Di Tian, the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King. As a pure-blooded True Dragon, he definitely had a habit of collecting treasures.
But did he dare go there? Wouldn't that just be delivering himself to his death? He would definitely die!
Settling for the next best thing, the Sky Azure Bull Python, the emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest, could not possibly lack a collection of soul bones.
With his current strength, even with Cheng Ying's concealment effect, the risk was still far too great. If it launched some indiscriminate large-scale attack, he would still die without question.
But there would be a way in the future. After all, they were the devoted Soul Beasts of that hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit!
Starting with Old Rabbit Xiao Wu would be absurdly easy.
There were still two years before the plot officially began. If he let those leeks grow for so long without harvesting them, he would start to feel a little bad about it.
Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, you'd better stay alive! There are so many treasures and resources that only you can help me obtain!
"Heh heh heh!"
