The Bankrupted Xiao Wu

"So..."

"Is this your reason for killing three Dou Sheng from two different clans?" Xiao Han asked helplessly, looking at Xiao Wu who was responding to him nonchalantly.

To be honest, Xiao Wu's achievement of taking down three Dou Sheng in one go with his strength as Early-Stage Two-Star Dou Sheng was quite a source of pride for his teacher, Xiao Han, and he was very gratified.

However, while praise is due, a necessary reprimand is still needed. The young man is too willful, and it's unclear which reckless person he learned it from. Xiao Han, on the other hand, always plans carefully before acting!

"Killing a few Dou Sheng from opposing forces is fine, but remember to find a secluded place next time."

"Understand?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow.

"I'll try my best." Xiao Wu's answer was utterly insincere. A classic example of someone who knows their mistake but refuses to admit it!

"Get lost!" Xiao Han didn't expect his disciple, who had grown too big for his britches, to obey him, and waved his hand dismissively.

"Since you enjoy fighting so much, this time Langtian City will be left to you and your Martial Uncle Ye."

"The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan dares to turn the world upside down!" Xiao Han said disdainfully.

After news of Xiao Wu's defeat of the Phoenix reached Central Plains, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan dared to clamor that they would make him pay the price.

What a joke! What his disciple does is none of his business. Does he really think that just because he's lived a long time and has a higher seniority, he can act with impunity?

The Ancient Races were wary of having another enemy, a Dou Sheng force, out of nowhere. After all, the Beast Region was not Human Race territory, and there was little benefit in a direct confrontation with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

After extorting the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Xiao Han didn't bother with their troubles anymore. This didn't mean he was afraid. Since these fearless people had come knocking on his door, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

Xiao Wu's lips curled into a smile, and he asked eagerly, "Teacher, is the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan really here to cause trouble?"

He had to admit that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan was indeed very brave, ignoring the seemingly insurmountable gap in strength and launching an attack on them.

"What?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could..."

"Who told you to cause such a big problem without making a sound?"

Xiao Han interrupted, speaking in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, your Martial Uncle Ye won't accept your appearance fee."

However, this so-called "comfort" did not bring Xiao Wu any warmth. He simply said with lifeless eyes, "It's over."

Although he had accumulated a considerable fortune over the years, it was far from enough to cover the costs of a war. He could already imagine himself selling himself to the Langya Pavilion to work and pay off his debts. At that moment, he did not realize that he was destined to spend his entire life with the Langya Pavilion.

Finally, Xiao Wu, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Teacher, why don't you lend me some Elder? I'll just go and fight my way into the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan with Martial Uncle Ye."

Xiao Wu had a good plan. With those few scoundrels from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the strongest Dou Holy Clan was only a five-star. He could gather Ye Jianxin and a few guest Dou Sheng and wipe out the enemy in no time, saving time, effort, and money!

However, Xiao Han's reply was...

With a "whoosh!" Xiao Wu was instantly lifted by the back of the neck by Xiao Han's giant hand formed from his fighting Dou Qi, the door opened, and then he was thrown out!

"Bang!"

"Hey, teacher, would you like to reconsider?" Xiao Wu called out through the closed door.

"This kid..." Xiao Han shook his head and sighed, "He has the guts to kill someone, yet he doesn't want to bear the consequences."

Resisting the attack of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and launching an offensive are two different things.

As the stronghold of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the Demon Phoenix Domain has been cultivated for countless years, and there are bound to be many hidden forces within it.

In terms of cost alone, the strength of the powerful forces required to launch an offensive is at least three times that of the defensive side. If a mistake is made and a Dou Sheng is lost, he will be heartbroken.

"A storm is brewing!"

Xiao Han frowned as he read through the documents in his hand concerning the Soul Clan's movements, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

To his surprise, during this trip to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the Soul Clan lost two Dou Sheng and one clan leader candidate with God Grade Bloodline, along with more than a dozen Dou Zun expert and a large number of people, yet they took no action, as if they were not going to hold Xiao Wu accountable.

And this is precisely the biggest anomaly.

Regardless of the faction, having suffered such a great loss, they must react. Whether their intentions are genuine or feigned, they must put on a good show.

The same applies to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. Although Langtian City is under great pressure, it has suffered very few casualties in battle. This is clearly because the other side has realized the difference in strength and is unwilling to fight Langya Pavilion to the death.

But...

The fact that the Soul Clan is now unwilling to even put on a perfunctory show can only mean that they have grand ambitions. The deaths of a few Dou Sheng and Dou Zun cannot affect the Soul Emperor's plans at all.

A sense of crisis began to rise in Xiao Han.

"Since you're unwilling to cause trouble, then I'll start." Xiao Han unfolded one of the documents, revealing the words "Soul Hall" circled in blood red.

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Han flicked his pen, and a large X appeared on top.

"I hope you can bear the loss of the Soul Hall!"

Under the Bodhi Ancient Tree at this moment.

Blood Serum stood opposite a figure dressed in a black robe.

The former smiled and said, "Your aura seems somewhat familiar!"

At this moment, Blood Serum was overjoyed. He never expected that his unintentional Soul Race Patriarch would lead to such a wonderful surprise.

The figure gazed at the Blood Serum dozens of feet away, slowly lowered its hood, revealing a scarred face, its voice tinged with a hint of weariness.

"I never expected that anyone from your Blood Demon Tribe would still be alive."

"Aren't you the same, sir?" Blood Serum laughed heartily.

"I am the Blood Demon Tribe Blood Serum."

"Barbarian Demon, the Ge Xiusi."

"Barbarian Demon?" Blood Serum looked at Ge Xiusi's figure with a puzzled expression. Compared to Barbarian Demon, this figure seemed somewhat "miniature"!

But he didn't mind and immediately extended an invitation:

"Would you like to join my plan and discuss important matters together?"

"A grand plan?" Ge Xiusi repeated, his tone tinged with confusion.

"I hope you will join me in leading my Evil Clan army to conquer this native world." Blood Serum looked at Ge Xiusi with fervent anticipation in his eyes. "Then, we will share the immense credit..."

"How?"

"Are you confident you can break the blockade of this continent?" Ge Xiusi shook his head and asked skeptically.

If given the chance, he would naturally want to do the same. The achievement of conquering a small world, even if it's just a little, would be enough to make him feel quite good.

However, he was also well aware that this continent had been sealed off by those damned natives long ago, and with their strength, opening it was a complete Arabian Nights.

Seeing Ge Xiusi's confusion, Blood Serum didn't care and chuckled, "I don't have that ability."

Ge Xiusi showed a faint disappointment, then Blood Serum changed the subject, "But others have it."

"The patriarch of the Soul Clan Ancient Races world of this place," Blood Serum said bluntly, without keeping anyone in suspense.

Ge Xiusi's eyes widened slightly. "A native? He agreed?"

He immediately realized his slip of the tongue. He was joking, but could he really say something like that outright?

Blood Serum continued, "As we both know, only those who reach that level are qualified to break the seal on this world." He pointed upwards, indicating this.

"Over the past ten thousand years, due to the lack of Spiritual Power, very few experts have been able to reach that level. Looking across this continent, only this person has the potential to break that limitation."

Then, Blood Serum proudly explained his plan to Ge Xiusi, who listened attentively, occasionally letting out a sigh of admiration...
