Defense Clan Pledges Loyalty

Niu Gao listened to Jun Xuehan's words and fell silent for a moment. At twelve years old, a level forty-four Soul Ancestor, her talent was undeniable. A normal genius at Jun Xuehan's age would at most be a Soul Grandmaster or Soul Elder.

The attack was so powerful that it could break through the defense that the Defense Clan excelled at. The defense was so strong that it could withstand half of his power. Although it was somewhat of a trick or a way to Force Dispersion, Niu Gao himself said before the bet that he would not use any external force.

Jun Xuehan didn't use any external force, only some techniques. Even so, the power of that punch was something that an ordinary Soul Emperor couldn't withstand, but Jun Xuehan actually blocked it and stood on the ground.

Therefore, Niu Gao was certain that as long as Jun Xuehan didn't perish prematurely, his future was limitless. At this rate of cultivation, within thirty years, he would undoubtedly become Peerless Master, and an extremely powerful one at that.

Tang Hao, who had just been promoted to Titled Douluo, severely injured Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall and a Level 95 Titled Douluo. Therefore, Niu Gao was very clear that offending someone with such great potential would definitely not bring any benefits to the Defense Clan in the future.

Moreover, the rules of the bet were set by himself. If he breached the contract again and again, what would become of the reputation of his Defense Clan?

How will the Breaking Clan view the Defense Clan in the future? But as the patriarch of the Defense Clan, Niu Gao needs to act as the patriarch of the entire Defense Clan.

He now faces two paths: one is to abide by the bet and follow Jun Xuehan to the end, Defense Clan —whether it prospers or declines—falls entirely on Jun Xuehan's shoulders.

Secondly, they continue to breach the contract, shamelessly refusing to admit it.

Doing so would undoubtedly offend a genius, especially with the Breaking Clan present, and could even damage relations with them. After all, the Breaking Clan has now joined the Wind Snow Pavilion.

After a long pause, Niu Gao slowly said, "I, Niu Gao, am willing to accept defeat. Introduce yourself to the Wind Snow Pavilion."

Jun Xuehan returned to her seat and looked calmly at Niu Gao, saying slowly, "Actually, there's nothing to introduce about the current Wind Snow Pavilion. In fact, it can be said that it has nothing at all. Even the Wind Snow Pavilion itself hasn't been built yet."

"But with the addition of your Defense Clan, the Wind Snow Pavilion will soon have other things as well."

Niu Gao stood there for a moment, then walked straight up to Jun Xuehan and said, "Our Defense Clan is willing to accept defeat. According to the bet, our Defense Clan will acknowledge you as our master, and from now on, the entire Defense Clan will obey your orders."

"If you consider yourself the host, how can you sit in the guest's seat?"

Niu Gao's powerful voice echoed in the hall.

"Haha, Old Rhino, I thought you were going to renege on your promise again." Yang Wudi laughed and quietly looked at Niu Gao.

"Bullshit! How could I, Niu Gao, be the kind of person who goes back on his word?" Niu Gao glared at Yang Wudi.

Jun Xuehan gave a faint smile and, without any intention of being polite, got up from the guest seat and went straight to sit down in the host seat.

"Senior Niu Gao, since your Defense Clan has joined the Wind and Wind Snow Pavilion, you should contribute to its development. Therefore, I would like to invite Senior Niu Gao and Wushuang to go to Heaven Dou City to find a place to establish the Wind Snow Pavilion. As for the money, I will take care of that," Jun Xuehan said softly.

"Of course, that's no problem. Since I've joined, it's only right that I do my part." Niu Gao agreed without much hesitation.

After all, it's not a difficult thing; it's just about finding a place in Heaven Dou City to build the Wind Snow Pavilion.

"Sect Master, from what you're saying, it seems you're not planning to return to Heaven Dou City with us?" Yang Wushuang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, I have some things to do, so I won't be going to Heaven Dou City with you for now," Jun Xuehan nodded calmly and said truthfully.

The funds required to establish and operate the Wind Snow Pavilion and Wind Snow Pavilion are quite substantial, and he needs to figure out how to raise the funds.

Yang Wushuang listened to Jun Xuehan's words and glanced at Yang Wudi and Niu Gao without revealing her doubts.

Instead, he planned to wait until no one was around before asking Jun Xuehan where he was going, so that he would have an explanation when he returned.

Otherwise, since he was responsible for protecting Jun Xuehan, what was Yang Wushuang protecting if she went nowhere? He had to give Qian Renxue an explanation.

Just then, a burly middle-aged man walked into the hall. Looking at Jun Xuehan sitting in the main seat, he frowned slightly and said, "Father, why are you letting a young man sit in the main seat while you and Uncle Yang sit in the guest seats?"

Niu Gao looked at the person who walked in and said, "Watch your words. He is now our master. I have decided to join the Wind Snow Pavilion and acknowledge him as my master."

"Master, this is my only son Niu Ben!" As he spoke, Niu Gao also introduced the middle-aged man who had walked in to Jun Xuehan.

"Join the Wind Snow Pavilion? Acknowledge him as your master? Father, you're not joking, are you?" Niu Ben's eyes widened like copper bells, filled with disbelief.

"What a joke! Look at the way your father looks, do you think I'm joking with you?" Niu Gao said, looking at Niu Ben's incredulous expression. "What brings you here? If not, get out. Can't you see we're discussing something important?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Ben glanced at Jun Xuehan. He felt that his father's decision seemed a bit hasty, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

"Ahem, Father, the meal is ready, and as instructed, I've also opened a few bottles of fine wine." Niu Ben cleared his throat and stated the purpose of his visit.

"Open a good bottle of wine? Do we need to open a good bottle of wine to entertain the Old Goat? Just use some cheap wine. Anyway, he won't drink much. Save the good wine for when the old gorilla comes." Niu Gao glanced at Yang Wudi as he spoke.

Yang Wudi's face fell, and he said, "Old Rhino, what's wrong? You can't even spare a few bottles of good wine to entertain me?"

Niu Gao chuckled and said, "Even if you bring good wine, you won't be able to drink much. In the end, you'll still have to lie under the table. So, good wine or slightly inferior wine, they're basically the same."

Yang Wudi slapped the armrest of the chair and said, "Bullshit, Old Rhino, come here, let's see who's hiding under the table tonight."

Niu Gao stood up from his seat and said, "Come on, Old Goat, don't blame me for not reminding you, today whoever backs down is a coward."
