Gu Yu and Han Feng exchanged a glance, and the same thought flashed through both their minds:

The soul tool technology of the Sun Moon Continent was practically a key that unlocked an entirely different civilization!

"Commander Kong, my wife and I are extremely interested in this soul tool technology."

Han Feng's tone became much more earnest.

"Since we are unable to return to our homeland for the time being, might we be allowed to stay in your country and study it in depth?"

Kong Zhao was overjoyed at this. He had already wanted to win over these two Titled Douluo, so he immediately made the decision.

"Of course!

If the two of you are willing to visit the Sun Moon Continent, I will certainly receive you as honored guests.

When the time comes, the gates of the Imperial Soul Tool Academy will always be open to you."

Han Feng thought to himself:

If they could bring this soul tool system back to Douluo Continent, the balance between the two great empires would likely be completely rewritten.

"Then thank you, Commander Kong."

Gu Yu smiled faintly, already forming a plan in her heart.

Longxing City, the residence of the Defense Clan.

The atmosphere in the main hall was solemn. Niu Gao sat in the seat of honor, with Han Yu, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo seated beside him.

"Old Rhino, why is your residence so quiet today?"

A rough voice rang out from beyond the door.

Immediately afterward, a burly old man strode inside. He was Tai Tan, the chief of the Strength Clan.

Behind him came Bai He, chief of the Speed Clan, and Yang Wudi, chief of the Breaking Clan.

Niu Gao rose to greet them. His gaze briefly swept over the shadows behind the screen as he smiled.

"Old Gorilla, you're still as impatient as ever.

I invited several distinguished guests to today's gathering. I wanted to introduce them to everyone."

Yang Wudi snorted coldly and slammed the long spear in his hand against the ground, making the floor tremble slightly.

"Distinguished guests?

Old Rhino, our four clans have never welcomed outsiders to our gatherings. What are you trying to pull?"

Bai He also frowned, looking somewhat weary.

"Old Bull, you know our circumstances well enough. How could we possibly have the mood to make connections with outsiders?"

Han Yu slowly stepped out from behind the screen, her gaze sweeping across the three men.

Finally, her eyes settled on Yang Wudi as she spoke calmly.

"If I told you I possessed an Aromatic Silk Beauty capable of taking the Breaking Clan's alchemy to the next level, would Clan Chief Yang still consider me an outsider?"

Yang Wudi's pupils constricted sharply as he abruptly raised his head to stare at Han Yu.

"What did you say?

An Aromatic Silk Beauty?

That is the legendary bane of all poisons. How could a brat like you possibly..."

"Not only do I have an Immortal Herb, I can also offer the protection of the Ling Tian Sect, as well as resources sufficient to help the Speed Clan rise again."

Han Yu cut off his doubts and turned toward Bai He.

"Clan Chief Bai, I know your clan has suffered greatly these past years. As long as you join the Ling Tian Sect, I will cover the Speed Clan's livelihood in full."

Bai He was visibly moved and had just begun to speak.

But Tai Tan suddenly slammed his palm onto the table, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Impudent! Where did this snot-nosed brat come from, spouting such nonsense here?

Old Rhino, you actually colluded with outsiders to scheme against us?"

Gu Rong's figure instantly appeared before Tai Tan.

The pressure of a level ninety-six Super Douluo crashed down like a mountain, making Tai Tan's knees buckle as he nearly fell to them.

"Old Gorilla, watch your mouth."

Gu Rong looked at him coldly.

"The Ling Tian Sect recruits ambitious people, not stubborn fools like you who only know how to guard an old master's memorial tablet until it grows mold."

Tai Tan gritted his teeth, Soul Power surging wildly as he tried to resist, but Gu Rong suppressed him completely.

Seeing this, Niu Gao said in a deep voice:

"Old Gorilla, stop being foolish!

Where were you when the Clear Sky Sect abandoned us?

Now the Sect Master is offering us a way to live, yet you insist on dragging everyone down to die with you?"

Yang Wudi stared at the Immortal Herb that had appeared from thin air in Han Yu's hand, its strange fragrance drifting through the air. His breathing became rapid.

He looked at Bai He, then at Niu Gao, and spoke in a low voice.

"Old White Bird, what do you think?"

Bai He looked into Han Yu's deep eyes, then thought of the clan members whose faces had turned sallow from hunger. With a long sigh, he said:

"As long as it lets my clansmen survive, I... am willing to hear Sect Master Han's terms."

Yang Wudi fixed his eyes on the Aromatic Silk Beauty, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke hoarsely.

"If this Immortal Herb is genuine, what would be wrong with the Breaking Clan recognizing you as our Sect Master?

In any case, we have had enough of being used as abandoned pawns our whole lives."

Tai Tan was drenched in sweat under Gu Rong's pressure, yet he still craned his neck and roared:

"Old White Bird!

Old Goat!

Have you both gone mad?

This brat only wants to use you! Have you forgotten the kindness of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Han Yu gave a cold laugh and slowly walked up to Tai Tan, looking down at him.

"Kindness?

Tai Tan, is this so-called kindness of yours making your clansmen struggle through poverty and humiliation for an empty promise?

You are not repaying kindness. You are using your clansmen's future to satisfy that pathetic loyalty of yours."

"What do you know?!"

Tai Tan roared.

"I truly do not understand."

Han Yu turned around, presenting her back to him as her voice turned icy.

"I only know that disciples of the Ling Tian Sect will never go hungry while selling their lives for someone else.

Hall Master Niu, tell him the rules of the Ling Tian Sect."

Niu Gao straightened his chest and shouted:

"The rules of the Ling Tian Sect are simple: the sect protects me, and I protect the sect!

As long as someone belongs to the Ling Tian Sect, even an outer disciple will never suffer the slightest injustice!"

Bai He looked at Han Yu, a trace of resolve flashing through his eyes.

"Sect Master Han, if the Speed Clan joins you, can you truly provide enough resources so that we no longer have to suffer the misery of being displaced?"

Han Yu nodded and took a token from her robes, handing it to Bai He.

"This is a token of the Ling Tian Sect, as well as proof that resources may be mobilized.

Furthermore, I can promise that the Ling Tian Sect's soul tool technology in the future

will be prioritized for the Speed Clan, helping you create the finest reconnaissance Soul Tools."

"Soul Tools?"

Bai He froze, clearly unfamiliar with the term.

Han Yu smiled faintly.

"It is another power capable of changing the landscape of war. You will understand in time.

For now, you only need to tell me whether you will continue following this old gorilla in guarding that rotten memorial tablet,

or come with me to Sunset Forest and create an era that belongs to us?"

When it came to Soul Tools, Han Yu's approach was to search!

Search through the various ruins across Douluo Continent for Soul Tool technology.

Or else wait for the future and search for the Sun Moon Continent.

Bring the Sun Moon Continent's Soul Tool system to Douluo Continent thousands of years ahead of time.

Yang Wudi was the first to state his position. He snatched the Immortal Herb from Han Yu's hand, fervor flashing in his eyes.

"Old Rhino has already joined. The Breaking Clan has no reason to refuse.

From today onward, my life, Yang Wudi's life, belongs to the Ling Tian Sect!"

Bai He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Han Yu.

"The Speed Clan is willing to serve you with utmost devotion."

Seeing that the situation was beyond saving, Tai Tan slumped weakly into his chair, his eyes filled with desolation.

Gu Rong withdrew his pressure and snorted coldly.

"Old Gorilla, since you insist on remaining stubborn, then do as you please.

However, if you dare obstruct the Ling Tian Sect again in the future, this old man will not be so courteous."
