The Attack Clan had once possessed the Aromatic Silk Beauty, but because it had not been stored properly, the Aromatic Silk Beauty was destroyed. The ancestors of the Attack Clan had been heartbroken yet helpless. They could only record its appearance and prepare incense that replicated the fragrance emitted by the Aromatic Silk Beauty, hoping that future descendants of the Attack Clan might find it once more.
Hearing Yang Wudi's words, Yang Wushuang carefully sniffed. "This scent really is the fragrance of the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Brother."
"Where? Where is the Aromatic Silk Beauty?"
Yang Wudi's expression was as crazed and obsessed as Chrysanthemum Douluo's whenever he saw an Immortal Grade Herb.
Yang Wudi soon discovered that the fragrance of the Aromatic Silk Beauty was coming from Chrysanthemum Douluo. He immediately strode over, utterly heedless of the occasion.
"Old Goat!"
"Old Yang!"
Everyone's gaze focused on Yang Wudi, and the entrance to the Clear Sky Sect abruptly fell silent.
Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned. If he had not sensed absolutely no killing intent from Yang Wudi, and if Yang Wudi's earlier expression had not seemed somewhat infectious to him, he would have attacked immediately.
Yang Wudi stopped within ten feet of Chrysanthemum Douluo and cupped his hands. "Chrysanthemum Douluo, may I ask if you possess the Aromatic Silk Beauty? I smelled its scent on you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo did not feel much displeasure at Yang Wudi, a Soul Douluo, directly calling him by his title without adding an honorific. He had heard of the renowned Soul Breaking Spear of the Four Single-Attribute Clans, the Attack Clan.
They attacked without defending, risking their lives in battle. A Soul Douluo possessed the offensive power of a Title Douluo. With Title Douluo-level attack power combined with such a life-for-life fighting style, even a Title Douluo-level expert would have a chunk torn off them if they wanted to kill an Attack Clan Soul Douluo.
Instead, Chrysanthemum Douluo was deeply startled. So the Grand Pontiff had previously taken out the Aromatic Silk Beauty and let Dugu Bo absorb its floral scent to ease the poison in his body, while also allowing Chrysanthemum Douluo to approach it so his body would be thoroughly imbued with its fragrance. The purpose had been to attract the Attack Clan.
Just how much did the Grand Pontiff know about the Clear Sky Sect? His schemes were this meticulous, yet he still maintained the stature and bearing of a senior figure in the Spirit Master World.
"What? You know about Immortal Grade Herbs too?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked teasingly.
Yang Wudi replied, "To be honest, Chrysanthemum Douluo, I have been searching for the Aromatic Silk Beauty. It is of great use to my Attack Clan."
"Oh, the Aromatic Silk Beauty is in the Grand Pontiff's possession."
Chrysanthemum Douluo naturally understood that Qian Daoliu's earlier actions were intended to recruit the Attack Clan. The Four Single-Attribute Clans under the Clear Sky Sect were the foundation that had allowed it to become the number one sect in the world. Each clan carried weight comparable to one of the Lower Four Sects. With these four great affiliated clans, the Clear Sky Sect had made countless sects and families across the continent green with envy.
Yang Wudi could treat Chrysanthemum Douluo as an equal, but he could not do the same with Qian Daoliu, an existence on the same level as the old sect master Tang Chen.
"Senior Qian Daoliu, this junior is Yang Wudi."
Qian Daoliu nodded lightly. "I have heard of the Attack Clan under the Clear Sky Sect. The Aromatic Silk Beauty is indeed in my possession."
Qian Daoliu would naturally not call himself an old man. Neither his mental age nor the physical age of this body could be considered old. Why would he call himself that?
"Senior Qian Daoliu, so long as you are willing to give the Aromatic Silk Beauty to this junior, this junior will brave fire and water for you without hesitation."
"Old Yang, what did you say?!"
Tai Tan roared, his eyes nearly spitting fire. He was heartbroken that the Clear Sky Sect had abandoned him, and he hated its ruthlessness, but he did not hate his master, Tang Hao. Therefore, he had ignored Yang Wudi cursing the Clear Sky Sect.
But now Yang Wudi wanted to brave fire and water for Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu was from Spirit Hall, his master Tang Hao's enemy. If Qian Daoliu ordered Yang Wudi to attack Tang Hao, would Yang Wudi not have to do it? Tai Tan could not tolerate that.
Qian Daoliu chuckled. "With my identity and strength, what could I possibly need you to do?"
Yang Wudi pondered briefly before making up his mind. "Senior Qian Daoliu, my Attack Clan is a family of alchemists. When it comes to researching medicine and poisons, I dare say my Attack Clan ranks among the very best on the entire continent. The medicinal baths, treatment of bruises and injuries, and care for hidden wounds of the Clear Sky Sect's younger disciples were all handled by my Attack Clan."
"So long as Qian Daoliu is willing to give the Aromatic Silk Beauty to this junior, this junior is willing to lead the Attack Clan into Spirit Hall and offer our medicinal baths and treatments, serving the growth of Spirit Hall's young Soul Masters with all our heart."
"Old Yang, you traitor!"
Tai Tan's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like a bull. Yang Wudi's decision to lead the Attack Clan into Spirit Hall was simply the greatest betrayal of Tang Hao.
Watching Tai Tan, Ning Fengzhi wondered whether he should call Tai Tan loyal or foolish. He actually dared to shout twice while Yang Wudi and Qian Daoliu were speaking.
Sure enough, Ghost Douluo instantly appeared before Tai Tan and slapped him directly. Tai Tan's attention had been entirely on Yang Wudi, so he failed to react in time. But even if he had, he would not have been Ghost Douluo's match.
Smack!
A crisp, resounding sound echoed through the entire entrance of the Clear Sky Sect. Tai Tan and another man were sent flying backward. Half of Tai Tan's face had swollen to the color of pig liver, blood streamed from his ears and nose, and several teeth flew from his mouth.
The tremendous force sent Tai Tan crashing into several Strength Clan disciples behind him who had been about to catch him.
Ghost Douluo's attack put everyone except the Attack Clan on high alert.
Ghost Douluo said coldly, "Say another word, and die!"
Tai Tan's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and hot breath continuously blasted from his thick nostrils. If looks could kill, Ghost Douluo would not know how many times he would have died.
Yang Wudi paid Tai Tan no attention at all. He might have been straightforward and hot-tempered, but as an alchemist, he was far from stupid. Tai Tan had not reacted when he cursed the Clear Sky Sect, yet the moment he said he would join Spirit Hall, Tai Tan jumped out, more eagerly each time. Could Yang Wudi not guess what Tai Tan was thinking?
He had not forgotten that this disaster for the Attack Clan had been caused by Tang Hao. The disaster was now right before them and could erupt at any moment. Did Tai Tan want the Attack Clan to die out completely?
Qian Daoliu said, "Very well. Show me your loyalty."
Upon hearing that, Yang Wudi immediately returned to the mountain gate and shouted, "Old White Bird, Old Rhino, those bastards from the Clear Sky Sect treated affiliated clans like ours as cannon fodder while they fled for their lives. There is no loss in leaving such a sect. The Clear Sky Sect does not deserve our allegiance. Let our three single-attribute clans—the Attack Clan, Speed Clan, and Defense Clan—join Spirit Hall together!"
"I am willing to lead the Copper Tiger Clan into Spirit Hall!"
"The War Hammer Clan is willing to join Spirit Hall! Those bastards from the Clear Sky Sect—we of the War Hammer Clan will never share the same sky with them!"
