Discussion

Nether Sky Glacial Crystal was plotting to hide in the Langya Pavilion, while Xiao Han and the others were also thinking about the aftermath of the Spirit Clan incident.

In a secluded room, Xiao Han, his two companions, and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice were deep in thought and remained silent.

From the moment he received the news of Ling Yuexian's death, Xiao Han rushed back to the Langya Pavilion at all costs, just in time to witness the end of the Grand Wedding of the two families.

However, Xiao Han didn't have the time or inclination to congratulate the Grand Wedding at that time, and could only subtly hint to the others that something big was about to happen.

After arriving at the secret room, Xiao Han explained the situation to the three of them.

Upon learning of Ling Yuexian's demise and the imminent destruction of the Spirit Clan, everyone else froze in shock, while Xiao Han quietly waited for the others to process this Arabian Nights news.

"This must be related to that Soul Clan -Calling Clan!"

In the end, it was Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice who spoke first, her tone filled with certainty.

Xiao Han looked at the former with surprise, "How did you guess?"

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice sneered a few times, "That Soul Clan dares to raise even those things, how could they not have this much guts!"

"Is it really the Soul Clan?" Ye Jianxin and the other looked at Xiao Han seriously. They never thought that the other party would have such audacity and strength to directly annihilate an Ancient Races.

Even though the Spirit Clan is in decline and might not even be a match for the Langya Pavilion in a real fight, Spirit Clan years of accumulated strength are undeniable. They were fighting on their home turf, and their clan even had Clan Protecting Grand Formation left behind by an ancient Dou Di. Yet, they were wiped out without a sound!

"What terrifying strength!"

Ye Jianxin he had overestimated the Soul Clan. They even knew that the latter was already the strongest Ancient Races, but they never expected that the other party would have such methods.

"The key issue now is how to deal with the impact of the disappearance of the Spirit Clan!" Yi Huang said coldly, her beautiful face devoid of any emotion.

But the question she raised was indeed important. The disappearance of the Spirit Clan had no impact on many forces, at most they would sigh about it, but Langya Pavilion was definitely an exception.

Once this news spreads, Langya Pavilion, as the only remaining member of the Spirit Clan, will likely be visited by some Ancient Races again.

At this moment, Yi Huang seemed to remember something, her expression suddenly turned ugly, and her eyes stared at Xiao Han with sharp, piercing gazes:

"Did you know a long time ago that the Clan Gathering be wiped out?"

Um!?

Ye Jianxin and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice looked at Xiao Han in shock. This guy was actually a prophet?

"Ahem~" Xiao Han tightened, but he quickly composed himself, chuckled awkwardly, and said blankly, "Huang'er, what do you mean?"

"I don't have the ability to predict the future!"

However, Yi Huang's all-knowing gaze deepened Xiao Han's guilt. She ignored Xiao Han's explanation and continued speaking to herself:

"I was wondering why the Spirit Clan suddenly allied with us and gave us so many benefits..."

She glared fiercely at Xiao Han, "How dare you do that back then? You really didn't care about your life, did you?!"

She had a pretty good idea of the agreement between Xiao Han and the Spirit Clan. She guessed that he would use those benefits in exchange for the former ensuring the safety of those ten Spirit Clan geniuses.

But can these things be interfered with so casually? The slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of the entire sect. If Xiao Han's strength weren't so formidable, Yi Huang would have already decided to disband the Langya Pavilion.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen this time!" Xiao Han's voice was strong and clear, which made Yi Huang pause for a moment. At this moment, he only showed the embarrassment of being exposed for acting on his own, but not the slightest guilt.

Xiao Han knew that his decision back then was rather rash, but he didn't regret it. The rapid development of the Langya Pavilion over the years was inseparable from the numerous benefits bestowed upon it by the Spirit Clan.

Since they wanted to develop, they naturally had to take risks. Besides, he and Langya Pavilion had the strength to overcome the difficulties smoothly.

Yi Huang and the others were unaware of Xiao Han's thoughts, but his expression was quite convincing.

"So how do you plan to resolve this?" Yi Huang asked curiously. That large group of Ancient Races were not easy to deal with, not to mention there must be a culprit stirring things up among them.

Even with the Langya Pavilion's current strength, they were finding it difficult to withstand that kind of force!

"Besides me, how many other Middle Stage Dou Sheng are there in the Langya Pavilion?" Xiao Han didn't answer, but instead asked.

Although Yi Huang was puzzled, she, who was in charge of the affairs of the Langya Pavilion, still provided the data. "There are three of us..."

Yi Huang gestured to herself, Ye Jianxin, and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.

But Xiao Han didn't expect there to be an unexpected surprise. He heard Yi Huang say, "There's also a Four Star Dou Sheng early stage expert that we recently recruited."

"Amazing!" Xiao Han exclaimed, his expression shifting. Yi Huang, on the other hand, wore a proud expression.

Four Star Dou Sheng is an extremely rare existence in Central Plains. Such a person is capable of founding a sect and becoming the patriarch of an organization. How could he be recruited into the Langya Pavilion?!

Xiao Han's lips curled into a smile. "So, what are we afraid of?"

"Didn't they say that experts above the fifth star level in Central Plains can't act rashly..."

The meaning is clear: those above five stars are not allowed to make a move. Even if each of the other six families sends a Four Star Dou Sheng, Xiao Han and his group of five are enough to fight the opponent to a standstill.

A few descendants of the Spirit Clan are not worth fighting to the death with other Ancient Races and Langya Pavilion.

At this moment, Ye Jianxin suddenly asked, "What if they don't follow the rules?"

Rules are conditions set up between Ancient Races to bind each other, but if the other side consistently violates them, it's as if no one is violating them...

Ye Jianxin had no doubt that those people had the audacity to do such a thing, because Langya Pavilion had done similar things too. This was called putting oneself in others' shoes!

Xiao Han smiled coldly, "I'll be able to break through to the Nine Star this year, if they don't follow the rules..."

"Nine Star?!" Yi Huang and the others exclaimed in unison. Has this person taken off like a rocket? His cultivation level is about to take off!

"Didn't you say it would take three years?" Yi Huang asked, puzzled.

"Yes, it was originally supposed to take three years," Xiao Han explained expressionlessly.

"After going out and getting into a fight, the bottleneck loosened."

Ye Jianxin, Yi Huang, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice: Envious!

Now everyone had no objections. Nine Star Dou Sheng was already a restricted-level weapon. Who would dare to act recklessly in front of Xiao Han and Langya Pavilion?

No one ever mentioned handing over the members of the Spirit Clan. One should see things through to the end. Such behavior of turning a blind eye after someone leaves is extremely unethical, and they don't need to do that.

"Should we tell the children of the Spirit Clan about this?" Yi Huang asked hesitantly, feeling a pang of reluctance.

Having experienced the hardships of being alone and destitute during her early years, how could she possibly feel good about going from a member of a prominent family to a rootless drifter?

"How strong are they now?" Xiao Han asked after thinking for a moment.

"Most of them are at the High Level Dou Zun level, and there are three Peak Dou Zun."

"The most impressive one has to be that kid named Ling Yu; he advanced to the Half-Saint level within a year!"

Xiao Han nodded. His strength was decent; at least he wouldn't be without the ability to protect himself. If the opportunity arose later, he could be helped to break through to the Dou Sheng.

"Once that Ling Yu breaks through to the Half-Saint, tell him about the trouble that happened to the Spirit Clan, but keep the existence of the Soul Clan a secret."

Yi Huang nodded. Although the opponent's strength met the requirements, he was still relatively young and prone to impulsiveness.

"Then I'll leave the affairs of the cabinet to you from now on."

Xiao Han said with some anticipation, "I'll adjust for a while and then start working on my breakthrough."

"Yes!" Yi Huang agreed readily. This was a major event, as it involved adding another peak expert, and it couldn't be allowed to go wrong!
