"They couldn't win fights, couldn't hunt Soul Beasts, and could only rely on their speed to run away.
So the Speed Clan was now destitute, nearly unable to afford food.
They were the most suitable first target to bring under our wing."
Xue Bingchen looked at Tang San, a meaningful smile curling at his lips.
"Besides, you may not know this yet, but Bai He, the Speed Clan's patriarch, is actually your granduncle. You share a bloodline."
"My granduncle?!" Tang San's eyes widened in shock. It was his first time hearing this secret.
"That's right."
Xue Bingchen nodded.
"So, once you reach the Speed Clan, all you need to do is reveal your current strength and talent, letting them see hope. Then show them the Hidden Weapons you made."
"What the Speed Clan lacks most is offensive power.
When you place a Hidden Weapon like the Zhuge Crossbow before them—one that can unleash tremendous destructive force without requiring Soul Power—believe me, it will be an irresistible temptation for those agility-type Soul Masters who desperately crave offensive power!
They will surely submit obediently."
Tang San's eyes lit up, and he could not help slapping the table in admiration.
"Master is wise! Using Hidden Weapons to make up for their weakness is a brilliant strategy! The Speed Clan will never be able to refuse!"
"What about the Defense Clan?" Tang San hurriedly asked.
"The Defense Clan will be even simpler."
Xue Bingchen chuckled.
"The Defense Clan's patriarch, Niu Gao, and Bai He of the Speed Clan are friends who have faced life and death together.
As long as you successfully bring the Speed Clan under your command, have Bai He persuade him, and add in the potential and financial resources you display, the Defense Clan will naturally be within your grasp."
