Zhu Zhuqing walked to the end of the street and went straight to a hotel, where Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Niu Gao, and others were talking to an old man.
"Old White Bird, listen to us, you won't go wrong. The old gorilla of the Strength Clan was completely wiped out because of the Clear Sky Sect. I warned him more than once, but he just wouldn't listen. Being tricked by the Clear Sky Sect once wasn't enough, he had to be tricked a second time." Niu Gao patted the shoulder of the Speed Clan's patriarch, Bai He, and said softly, his voice full of regret.
"Alas, it's no use saying anything now. The Clear Sky Sect has been destroyed, and of our Four Single-Attribute Clans, only three remain. But the Soul Tool you mentioned must be genuine. If you don't provide our Speed Clan Soul Tool, then we'll have to reconsider joining the Wind Snow Pavilion." Bai He sighed, then his expression turned serious.
"Old White Crane, what are you saying? Would I, Yang Wudi, lie to you? Soul Tool are high-level items in our Wind Snow Pavilion. Currently, only the direct descendants of the Nine Heart Begonia Family are equipped with them." Yang Wudi's expression turned serious as he spoke earnestly.
Although both the Wind Snow Pavilion and the Spirit Hall are producing Soul Tool, they are not yet widely available to all their subordinates; only a few high-ranking members have worn some.
"What Old Goat showed you was just a level four Soul Cannon. The highest-level Soul Tool in our Wind Snow Pavilion is the level eight Soul Tool in the hands of the Pavilion Master, which is infinitely close to level nine." Niu Gao patted the table, a confident smile on his face.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go see the Pavilion Master you've been talking about." Bai He said, preparing to get up, but Yang Wushuang pressed him back down.
"There's no rush. Old White Bird, what do you think about merging our three major clans? The elections for the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects will officially begin tomorrow. Now that we've made a decision, we can discuss it with the Pavilion Master." Yang Wushuang asked softly with a faint smile on his face.
"No problem, no problem. As long as we successfully join the Wind Snow Pavilion, it's only natural that we merge together." Bai He waved his hand and readily agreed.
After all, even though the Speed Clan has joined the Wind Snow Pavilion, their status within it is still inferior to that of the Breaking Clan Wind Snow Pavilion Defense Clan. It's important to understand that adding flowers to brocade is never as valuable as providing charcoal in the snow.
"Then let's go see the Pavilion Master. As for your Speed Clan, leave the matter of the Soul Tool to us. We can guarantee that your Min Clan will get the Soul Tool, but the only thing we can't guarantee is that every member of your Speed Clan Soul Tool one." Yang Wudi patted his chest and said softly.
"Grandpa, what does the legendary Jun Xuehan look like? I've never seen the number one young person before," Bai Chenxiang asked her grandfather with great curiosity.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Your grandpa here has only heard of it, never seen it." Bai He shook his head with a smile, his expression revealing his own lack of understanding.
"Seniors, now that we've made our decision, let's head to the Pope's Palace first," Zhu Zhuqing said softly, looking at them.
"Let's go." Everyone agreed and got up together, heading towards the Worship Hall.
The Pope's Palace, a somewhat empty hall.
Jun Xuehan and Qian Daoliu sat facing each other, drinking tea and playing chess. Qian Renxue sat beside Jun Xuehan, holding pastries.
"Haha, Xuehan, old ginger is spicier. This time you made one careless move and lost the whole game." Qian Daoliu placed a chess piece on the chessboard and drank tea with a smile.
Jun Xuehan twirled the chess piece in his hand, looking at the chessboard in front of him with a serious expression, but he hesitated to make a move, because no matter where he placed the piece, it seemed that he could not change the outcome of losing.
"Oh, Yue Yi, you're back." Qian Renxue looked towards the door and said softly.
"Yue Yi, come here and give your great-grandfather a hug." Qian Daoliu also turned to look at the door, but there was nothing there.
The instant Qian Daoliu his head, Qian Renxue subtly moved a chess piece on the board, then said nonchalantly, "I misread it. I thought Yue Yi had returned."
Jun Xuehan placed the chess piece in her hand on the chessboard, a smile appearing on her face, and said, "Grandpa, I'm a little embarrassed, it seems this game is a draw."
As they spoke, Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue couldn't help but exchange a glance, their eyes full of smiles.
"Sigh, I don't know if my old eyes are failing me, but I just saw the chess piece move a little." Qian Daoliu glanced at the two of them and silently picked up the chess piece in front of him.
"Grandpa, let's call it a draw today. You and Xuehan both have one win, one loss, and one draw." A smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face as she spoke softly.
While speaking, he didn't forget to hand a piece of pastry to Jun Xuehan.
"Well, let's call it a draw then. After all, daughters grow up and leave home." Qian Daoliu waved his hand dismissively. It was just a way to pass the time anyway; winning or losing didn't matter at all.
"Grandpa, what are you saying?" Qian Renxue lowered her head and took a bite of the pastry in her hand.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. How's your Second Trial going?" Qian Daoliu smiled and asked softly.
"Passing the Second Trial is definitely not a problem. However, that test is for tempering the body, so there's no rush. Just complete it within the allotted time." Jun Xuehan nodded slightly and said seriously.
"That's right. It's not only useful for tempering the body, but it also improves strength, so we're not in a hurry. We can definitely finish it within the allotted time." Qian Renxue leaned against Jun Xuehan and said softly.
"Hmm, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. As the Divine Envoy of the Angel God, I cannot provide you with any assistance during the assessment. Therefore, everything depends on your own efforts, Clan Chief." Qian Daoliu earnestly instructed, a kind smile appearing on his face.
"Grandpa, you don't need to worry about this. Xuehan and I have a very solid foundation. Passing the test is just a matter of time." Qian Renxue said nonchalantly, while glancing at Jun Xuehan beside her without making a sound.
"Yes, that's not wrong. With our current strength, passing the current assessment is indeed just a matter of time," Jun Xuehan nodded slightly and said calmly.
