The Four Sects Leave the Tang Sect, the Sect Leader Vomits Blood and Dies!

An unknown Heaven Dou Empire actually had such terrifying Titled Douluo, and they were all powerful figures transformed from soul beasts! Although the elders of the other two sects were not watching Zi Ji and Bi Ji, their gazes remained fixed on Lin Wan'er, who stood between them. She possessed the God-level Martial Soul, Soraka, and her Innate Soul Power had reached an astonishing twentieth rank.

By comparison, the Heaven Dou Empire's Holy Maiden held a status far more prestigious than the Tang Sect's current sect leader. The two were simply not comparable.

The Great Elder of the Breaking Sect could not help drawing in a sharp breath. What kind of divine luck did the Agility Sect have? They had kept their doors shut for years, yet they had earned the favor of several Ferocious Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, who had even come to visit them in person.

"Holy Maiden, I am willing to represent the Breaking Clan in joining the Heaven Dou Empire and obeying the orders of all of you, my lords!"

As if possessed, the Great Elder of the Defense Clan did not hesitate either. He declared that he was willing to return and persuade his clansmen to join the Heaven Dou Empire, and that they would obey the Holy Maiden and the others.

The Tang Sect? What was the Tang Sect? They were old men now and could hardly remember! Lin Wan'er was quite satisfied with the elders of the three sects' current behavior. It had taken less than ten minutes for their attitude to shift from disdain to wholehearted submission.

And what about the Tang God King, who had once possessed protagonist luck and the blessings of fate? He had probably spent a great deal of effort just persuading a single clan, hadn't he?

At that thought, the curve of Lin Wan'er's lips deepened. She then said to everyone, "You must be very curious about where the Heaven Dou Empire is. To be honest, it has been right under your noses all along."

After saying that, Lin Wan'er patiently waited for them to fail to suppress their curiosity and ask her about it.

As though he had received a signal from the Holy Maiden, Min He hurriedly asked, "Holy Maiden, we are ignorant. What do you mean by that?"

Lin Wan'er nodded in satisfaction. She removed the Soul Prohibition binding the elders of the three sects, then casually cast a Prayer Soul Skill into their bodies, easing the pain in their meridians and the hidden injuries within them that could not be healed.

Just as she had expected, after doing all that, the soul power within her had grown by quite a bit. She could now barely touch the threshold of thirtieth rank.

"It is a long story. Please take a seat, elders, and allow me to explain it all slowly."

After speaking, Lin Wan'er took Bi Ji and Zi Ji to sit in the seats Bai Chenxiang had prepared. Looking at the elders' eager faces, she began telling them about the Heaven Dou Empire.

Fundamentally speaking, the Heaven Dou Empire was the product of the Sun Moon Empire's continental landmass colliding with several existing landmasses of the Douluo Continent, combined with the empire's relatively weak strength and subsequent fragmentation.

The Heaven Dou Empire had not yet appeared. To ensure that the elders and Ferocious Beasts such as Bi Ji would believe her, Lin Wan'er had specifically asked the Auspicious Beast to issue an incredibly mystical prophecy during the time she spent playing with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. It included the imminent arrival of the Sun Moon Empire and the emergence of Soul Tools! At first, old relics among Ferocious Beasts like Di Tian did not believe the Auspicious Beast's prophecy. But they could not withstand the brainwashing campaign of a transmigrator Holy Maiden, and so Di Tian and the others often crossed the deep sea to observe the border.

Before long, Di Tian truly discovered traces of the Sun Moon Empire and came to believe the Auspicious Beast's prophecy. Later, Lin Wan'er intended to develop the Heaven Dou Empire into a cover for concealing the identities of the soul beast race.

After all, this world was still dominated by humans. If soul beasts wanted a certain degree of influence, they had to seize the power of authority, status, and wealth. None of those could be lacking.

And among the empires that were not especially weak and could barely count as nations after merging and absorbing others, only the Heaven Dou Empire qualified. Lin Wan'er did not think much at all of lesser hidden sects and similar forces.

Wasn't the Tang Sect as glorious as it could possibly be now? Yet by the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, when Huo Gua was around, how miserable had it become? Not only had the Four Sects disappeared, but the Tang Sect itself had been reduced to Tang Ya and her nominal partner...

And later on, the Tang Sect had not developed to be much stronger than the mighty Shrek either. Didn't it still have to keep its tail tucked between its legs? At most, it could act a little more imposing before outsiders. Its name just sounded impressive.

With that in mind, Lin Wan'er, who had initially intended to casually tell the elders a few things, quickly straightened her posture and patiently explained the Auspicious Beast's prophecy, the Sun Moon Empire's invasion, and other matters.

As the elders questioned her, Lin Wan'er intentionally and unintentionally revealed a method through which humans and soul beasts could form contracts and gain lifespans infinitely close to eternity through symbiosis.

For soul masters, whose average lifespans were only a few hundred years, weren't the thousands or tens of thousands of years soul beasts lived practically eternity? The elders' eyes shone with astonishing light when they heard this. Their original plan to spend several months leaving the Tang Sect was immediately shortened to less than a week.

Lin Wan'er was very pleased with this outcome. After saying all that needed to be said, she gave Bai Chenxiang and the others a packet of medicinal herbs for conditioning their bodies, generously supplied by the plant soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, then returned to the Star Dou Great Forest with Bi Ji and the others.

Lin Wan'er could now sleep peacefully and wait for Scarlet King, Fox Consort, Di Tian, and the others to seize positions from the distant upper ranks of the Sun Moon Empire and assume false identities.

If anyone asked why Lin Wan'er did not adopt a gentler attitude toward the Sun Moon Empire's upper ranks, she would certainly retort with the mindset of the flower-growing family, "Before the continental collision even happens, the Sun Moon Empire already resembles those Japanese whose little days are going quite nicely. If we don't use Little Fat Man tactics to make them see some blood, it will be too late once the collision occurs and Soul Tools become incomparably powerful."

Even Di Tian could not catch several tenth-rank Soul Tool attacks with his bare hands. Unless the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who slept beneath the lake, took action, their lives might be preserved, but the lives of the other soul beasts could not be guaranteed.

Thinking of the countless matters that still needed handling in the future, Lin Wan'er immediately climbed onto the trunk of the Emperor Willow and fell into a deep sleep.

The Emperor Willow from Ionia truly was wonderful. The life force within it was even more abundant than Bi Ji's, not to mention that its willow tree could soothe the soul. It truly deserved to be called the Spirit of Nature!

Lin Wan'er had no idea that while she casually slept atop the Emperor Willow, a month passed in the outside world.

During that time, the Four Sects had already completed their departure from the Tang Sect, shocking the upper ranks of soul masters across half the continent. When the current Tang Sect Leader learned of this and rushed to the sects' headquarters, he discovered that they had long since been emptied. Before the imperial family's very eyes, he vomited blood and died.

The upper ranks of the other empires were delighted by the Tang Sect Leader's death, but the members of the imperial family where the Tang Sect was located were furious, because they had all received complaint letters sent jointly by the Four Sects.

The letters were filled with accusations against the new Tang Sect Leader. During his tenure, he had completely disregarded the lives and deaths of personnel from the subordinate sects, madly hunted Evil Soul Masters without providing any compensation, and only handed out some Hidden Weapons and medicinal herbs left behind by Tang San, along with hypocritical greetings.

Who could possibly endure that?

Perhaps if they had never received help from Lin Wan'er and the others, they would have been willing to follow their ancestors from a century ago and selflessly take risks for the Clear Sky Sect, gritting their teeth and persevering. But now, it was too late to say anything.

They had to leave the Tang Sect!
