Tonglan City, Target: the Breaking Clan
The six arrived in the town, found a good hotel, and booked five rooms.
Why five rooms? Those who know, know.
Dai Mubai naturally took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and under Ning Rongrong's envious yet resentful gaze, walked straight into the room.
The door was closed, isolating the room from the outside world.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, Dai Mubai pulled her into his arms and kissed her cherry lips domineeringly.
"Hmm..."
Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft moan, wrapped her arms around Dai Mubai's neck, and responded willingly.
Dry wood meets a raging fire, and it ignites instantly, sparking a fierce clash.
More than an hour later, the fighting ended.
The two rested for a while, washed up, and changed into clean clothes.
He pushed open the door and came to Ning Rongrong's room.
"Tap tap tap."
Ning Rongrong opened the door, revealing a resentful expression.
To be honest, Dai Mubai felt that Ning Rongrong would definitely not refuse if he was willing, but he wouldn't touch Ning Rongrong in the short term.
Weapon Soul Master generally develop more slowly than Beast Soul Master; Ning Rongrong hasn't even fully "grown up" yet!
Furthermore, Ning Rongrong is not like Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing and he are already officially engaged, but he hasn't even met Ning Rongrong's family yet.
Although the Douluo Continent is very open and doesn't have many "traditional virtues," Dai Mubai is still afraid that if Sword Douluo finds out, he'll cleave him in two with a single sword strike!
"Let's go get something to eat."
Dai Mubai smiled, stepped forward and took her hand, then grasped Zhu Zhuqing's hand with his other hand. With one hand in each hand, he led the two downstairs.
In the restaurant on the first floor, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Zhao Wuji had already come down, ordered a table full of dishes, and were wolfing them down.
Seeing Dai Mubai come down, Ma Hongjun asked, "Boss Dai, what are our plans next? Are we going straight back to Star Luo City?"
Dai Mubai pulled the two women down to sit and said with a smile, "No rush, we need to take a detour and go to Tonglan City first."
"Tonglan City?" Everyone was taken aback, their expressions showing confusion.
Dai Mubai turned his gaze to Zhao Wuji, and asked mysteriously, "Teacher Zhao, you should have heard of the Four Single-Attribute Clans, right?"
Zhao Wuji nodded. "Of course I've heard of them. They were the Four Single-Attribute Clans originally affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect: the Strength, the Break, the Defense, and the Agility clans. More than a decade ago, the Clear Sky Sect suddenly announced its withdrawal from the Soul Master World and disbanded all its affiliated forces. These four clans were then subjected to a frenzied hunt by the Spirit Hall, suffering heavy casualties. I heard they hate the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall to the core."
He paused, then gave a wry smile, "Speaking of which, I have some grudges against Tai Tan, the Clan Leader of the Strength Clan."
"Oh? What holiday is it?" Dai Mubai asked.
Zhao Wuji continued, "To my shame, when I was young, I unintentionally injured Tai Tan's cousin. The Strength Clan has always been very protective of its own, and Tai Tan therefore began to hunt me down."
Ma Hongjun scratched his head and pressed, "Boss Dai, what does this have to do with our trip to Tonglan City?"
Dai Mubai solemnly said, "After the Four Single-Attribute Clans were disbanded, the Breaking Clan fled to Tonglan City in the Star Luo Empire, making a living by manufacturing medicine and barely managing to gain a foothold. The Breaking Clan's inherited Martial Soul, the ' Soul Breaking Spear,' is one of the top in the continent in terms of attack power alone. Their Clan Leader, Yang Wudi, is said to be a Soul Douluo- level powerhouse."
"I plan to go to Tonglan City to subdue the Breaking Clan."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji shook his head, his brows furrowing slightly, and said, "Mubai, the Breaking Clan is indeed a great help, but winning their hearts will probably not be an easy task. Although the Breaking Clan has fallen on hard times, they are still very proud at heart."
"Hahaha!" Dai Mubai, "Don't worry, everyone, I have a plan. I wouldn't dare say 100%, but I'm 90% sure."
Seeing Dai Mubai's confident demeanor, the crowd exchanged glances, and most of their doubts dissipated.
"Great! If Boss Dai says he's confident, then he's definitely confident! We'll set off for Tonglan City first thing tomorrow morning!" Ma Hongjun said.
Tonglan City is located in the northwest of the Star Luo Empire, close to the Heaven Dou Empire. Within the Star Luo Empire, it can only be considered a small to medium-sized city.
Three days later, when Dai Mubai and his companions arrived in their carriage, it was already nearly dusk.
Dai Mubai did not rush to visit the Breaking Clan, but instead found a hotel in the east of the city to settle down first.
The next morning, Dai Mubai gathered everyone in his room and instructed them, "Today I'm only taking Fatty and Little Ao to visit the Breaking Clan. The rest of you will wait at the hotel."
Ning Rongrong immediately became unhappy, pouting, and said, "Why aren't you taking us?"
Dai Mubai shook his head and patiently explained, "It's precisely because there are too many people that it's inconvenient. The Breaking Clan is extremely wary of everyone now. Bringing too many people would only make me seem less confident."
Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and didn't insist any further.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "Then be careful."
Dai Mubai nodded.
After breakfast, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar left the hotel and, after asking around, arrived at the residence of the Breaking Clan.
The residence of the Breaking Clan was not very grand; it looked like just an ordinary house.
After all, the alchemy business wasn't highly valued at this time, and most Soul Master were still focused on their own cultivation and Soul Ring and Soul Skill. The current income of the Breaking Clan was just enough to support its members.
Dai Mubai led Ma Hongjun and Oscar to the gate, where two guards immediately blocked their way. One of them called out, "The three of you, please wait. What brings you to the Breaking Clan?"
Dai Mubai remained calm and immediately stated his purpose. "I am Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Star Luo Royal Family. I have come to pay a visit to Clan Leader Yang Wudi. Please help me convey my message."
Upon hearing that it was someone from the Star Luo Royal Family, the guards' expressions immediately became more serious.
He dared not delay, and led the three into the reception hall, bowing and saying, "Please wait a moment, Your Highness, I will go and inform them immediately."
A moment later, a robust old man strode in from the inner courtyard.
This person looked to be only about fifty years old, not like an old man over sixty. He was about 1.8 meters tall, half a head shorter than Dai Mubai, but his whole person was like a sharp spear, giving people a sense of unstoppable momentum.
It was Yang Wudi, the Clan Leader of the Breaking Clan.
After Yang Wudi took his seat in the main seat, his gaze fell on Dai Mubai, who had blond hair, and he went straight to the point. "Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai. I've heard of you. I heard you fled to the Heaven Dou Empire. Now that you've returned to the Star Luo Empire and come to my Breaking Clan, what brings you here?"
Dai Mubai didn't mince words either. "Clan Leader Yang is straightforward, so I'll be frank with you. My trip to Heaven Dou was merely a temporary retreat. I've come to your esteemed residence to invite the Breaking Clan to join my ranks and help me ascend to the position of Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi was taken aback at first, then chuckled, "Your Highness is quite straightforward. However, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. The Breaking Clan is weak and unworthy of Your Highness's high regard. We only want to live a peaceful life and don't want to be involved in any more conflicts."
Dai Mubai had anticipated his response and, without the slightest discouragement, nodded slightly, saying, "Clan Leader Yang is too modest. The Martial Soul -Soul Breaking Spear, a martial spirit inherited by the Breaking Clan, is unparalleled in attack power on the continent. I greatly admire it!"
His face showed bitterness as he continued, "I know that the Breaking Clan once risked their lives for the Clear Sky Sect, only to be ruthlessly abandoned, and later hunted down by the Spirit Hall, suffering heavy casualties among their elites. Clan Leader Yang is disheartened and unwilling to get involved in the conflict any longer. I deeply sympathize with this feeling and understand it very well."
