Aftermath
"The Spirit Clan?" Watching Ling Yi's departing figure, Yi Huang's expression was solemn, and she was also very confused.
The perceptive Yi Huang naturally noticed the unusual nature of the sudden cooperation between the Spirit Clan and Langya Pavilion.
Only the Ancient Races are qualified to cooperate with them; most other forces that have connections with them are vassals of the ancient races.
Although Langya Pavilion is not weak, it is only not weak; it has not yet reached the level of being comparable to the Ancient Races.
Moreover, the conditions offered to the Langya Pavilion by the Spirit Clan made Yi Huang realize even more that they were extraordinary.
It's not bad at all; on the contrary, it's excellent, so generous it's almost excessive!
Based on the other party's terms, Langya Pavilion will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits from this cooperation.
Yi Huang failed to see any benefits that Langya Pavilion could offer them. "Could it be that the Spirit Clan is only interested in the Langya Pavilion's sales channels?"
However, such an idea only briefly crossed her mind before being forgotten.
If that's the case, the Spirit Clan could easily find other similar organizations; why would they need to hand over such enormous profits to the Langya Pavilion?
Just then, Ye Jianxin appeared silently from the side, and a single sentence awakened her.
"Yi Huang, aren't the Spirit Clan's conditions a bit too good? It's like they're begging us for something!"
He had been listening to their conversation from the shadows, and he was puzzled. It was as if the other party was practically handing money over to the Langya Pavilion!
"Yes, they need our help!" Yi Huang suddenly realized that the other party must need Langya Pavilion's help for something, and then Yi Huang's face darkened.
"That guy is messing around again!" Yi Huang said through gritted teeth. She immediately realized that Xiao Han had probably made some kind of deal with the Spirit Clan, and that the matter was extremely dangerous.
The benefits offered by the Spirit Clan were simply rewards; this guy actually dared to earn money by risking his life!
Yi Huang's resentment towards Xiao Han surged instantly, and she kept muttering to herself, making Ye Jianxin.
He couldn't help but silently mourn for his good brother for a while.
Ling Yi, who had just left, was truly shocked by the strength of the Langya Pavilion.
"I never expected that Deputy Pavilion Master Yi Huang, who was rumored to be in charge of logistics, would actually break through to the Dou Sheng, and even reach the early stage of the second-star Dou Sheng. Everyone has misjudged her!"
Ling Yi said with emotion.
Yi Huang's biggest miscalculation was that Ling Yi discovered her true strength.
It should be noted that concealing one's strength has always been the guiding principle of the Langya Pavilion. Even in the most dangerous moments, Yi Huang's Dou Sheng strength was never revealed.
This gave outsiders the misconception that... the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Langya Pavilion was merely a logistics personnel responsible for overall coordination, and not particularly skilled in combat. Now, however, this secret is no longer unique to the Langya Pavilion.
However, Yi Huang's exposed strength might be a good thing, at least Ling Yi has become more attentive to the Langya Pavilion.
Apart from the Ice Saint, the remaining experts of the Langya Pavilion are still a force to be reckoned with.
Although the arrival of the Ling Yi was extremely secretive, it still could not escape the notice of some forces in Central Plains.
The unique Spirit Clan mark of the former, in particular, shocked a large number of forces.
"What's going on? The Spirit Clan went to visit Langya Pavilion?" Xuan Kongzi felt as if several strands of his originally snow-white and beautiful hair were about to fall out.
His first reaction to the news was that it was fake news.
What a joke! Doesn't the manager of such Super faction know what kind of Ancient Races they are?
These arrogant figures, especially those with the so-called Dou Di Bloodline that gave them confidence, looked down on other forces with disdain.
It's as if we're all different kinds of beings.
Some powerful Ancient Races are alright; at least on the surface, they maintain respect for the top powers in the Central Plains.
However, it is precisely those Ancient Races that have declined, such as the Stone, Spirit, and Medicine Tribes, whose pursuit of the Dou Di Bloodline surpasses everything else.
It's as if having the Dou Di Bloodline can instantly transform someone into Dou Sheng or Dou Di. A bunch of guys obsessed with the glory of their ancestors, utterly pedantic!
Although they were very strong, Xuan Kongzi's perception of them was extremely poor.
But today his subordinates reported to him that the Spirit Clan had actually visited Langya Pavilion, which is outrageous!
Putting aside the Spirit Clan's many bad habits, the other party also seemed to have been in seclusion for many years, rarely venturing out of their home.
Other Ancient Races might be able to find some way in, but the Spirit Clan ...
To put it bluntly, Xuan Kongzi didn't even know where the other side's gate was. He hadn't received any news of the Spirit Clan appearing in Central Plains for countless years.
"Is the news true?" Not only Xuan Kongzi, but the other two giants of the Pill Tower were in no better shape. Even Xuan Yi, who was more meticulous, subconsciously asked again.
After receiving a second affirmative answer, Xuan Yi was taken aback and waved for the other party to leave.
"This Langya Pavilion is so powerful that it can even contact the Spirit Clan," Tian Leizi exclaimed in amazement, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Could Langya Pavilion be an affiliated force of the Spirit Clan?" Xuan Yi suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.
After all, the Ice Saint's strength was abnormally high; his combat power, which was almost comparable to Six-Star Dou Sheng, shocked everyone.
The Central Plains haven't seen such a prodigy for many years, but it's not unacceptable among Ancient Races.
However, Xuan Kongzi firmly shook his head and denied it, saying, "That's absolutely impossible. The Ancestor already confirmed that the Ice Saint has no Dou Di Bloodline at all."
Xuan Yi's expression changed, and he immediately fell silent. The ancestor Xuan Kongzi mentioned was naturally the Six-Star Dou Sheng level Pill Tower Old Ancestor. Xuan Yi was completely convinced by the latter's conclusion.
If the other party is not a member of the Spirit Clan, then Langya Pavilion would naturally not be a vassal of the Spirit Clan.
After all, with the strength of the Ice Saint, wouldn't it be better for him to live a carefree life in the Central Plains? Why would he need to find a father figure for himself?
"Then it can only be that the Spirit Clan values the strength of the Langya Pavilion," Xuan Yi said with a complicated expression.
In Xuan Yi's memory, this seemed to be the first time she had encountered such a thing.
Sensing the rapid development of the Langya Pavilion, Xuan Yi felt a pang of envy. Unlike the Pill Tower, which had almost reached its bottleneck and could no longer advance.
However, not everyone envies Langya Pavilion; there are also many who belittle the Spirit Clan.
Of course, only Ancient Races of the same kind could do this.
"The Spirit Clan are really getting more and more backward. They've actually lost the pride of Ancient Races and are walking with a bunch of immature brats."
Yao Dan, the Medicine Tribe Clan Leader, held the Spirit Clan's behavior in utter contempt, believing it to be a disgrace to the Ancient Races.
"The clan leader is absolutely right. The Spirit Clan has declined, and their vision is not very high!" Elder Yao Wangui, who was also a member of the conservative faction, echoed.
"Clan leader, Langya Pavilion isn't that bad, is it? After all, the Ice Saint was able to defeat the Soul Hall Master and the Soul Demon Old Man on his own. That kind of strength should be powerful enough!" Ten Thousand Fires Elder, being more rational, spoke up to comfort him.
"Grand Elder, you're too indecisive. You actually believe such an exaggerated record?"
"You know, that so-called Ice Saint is just a greenhorn who's only been cultivating for a few years. In my opinion, his achievements are probably all just boasting."
Before Yao Dan could speak, Yao Wangui retorted uneasily. Yao Wangui, who considered himself to be on the side of the clan leader, spoke without any politeness.
Wan Huo knew this guy's character, so he didn't bother arguing with him and said no more.
Unlike other Ancient Races that treated it as a joke, the Soul Clan did show some interest in the news, but that was about it.
"What? The Spirit Clan has actually gotten involved with the Langya Pavilion in Central Plains. Will this affect our plans?"
A figure in black looked at the refined-looking man in front of him and asked indifferently.
"Langya Pavilion?" The Soul Emperor said calmly, "Don't worry about it. It's just an accident. If they really get in the way of our plans, we'll just eliminate them."
His tone was casual. Although Langya Pavilion had several Dou Sheng, and that Ice Saint was also quite strong, they were nothing more than slightly larger ants compared to the entire Soul Clan.
"All you need to do now is focus on breaking through to the Nine Star Dou Sheng. The clan will fully support you."
The Soul Emperor glanced at the other party. The premise for their Soul Clan to destroy the Spirit Clan without anyone noticing was that the other party broke through to the Nine Star Dou Sheng and had the ability to devour a small world.
Everything is ready now, except for the final push.
"Hmm." The man in black's jet-black eyes flickered slightly before he responded.
"Ten years is enough!" He has already touched the threshold of that level, and it's just a matter of time before he breaks through.
