Under the care of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi was carried to a seat. Yang Tiexin took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a few pills, and put them into Yang Wudi's mouth before swallowing them with water.
After she finished doing all this, Qi Ling said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect Senior Yang Wudi to be so serious, that I actually exhausted myself to the point of fainting."
Yang Tiexin said helplessly, "It's not your fault. Grandpa is just too stubborn. I've tried to persuade him about this, but he never listens. He's suffered countless times because of this."
"This meticulous personality is the secret to Senior Yang Wudi's strength. Without a meticulous attitude towards everything, how could one do things to the extreme?" Qi Ling said with a smile.
"Indeed, when it comes to focus, no one can match Grandpa's concentration. But precisely because of this, he often seems inflexible, which can be quite frustrating," Yang Tiexin sighed. "So now, I'm the one managing most of the affairs of the Breaking Clan."
Not long after, Yang Wudi slowly woke up and immediately saw Qi Ling standing in front of him.
"Senior Yang Wudi, are you alright? I didn't know my own strength, please forgive me," Qi Ling said to Yang Wudi.
Yang Wudi speechless upon hearing Qi Ling's words. Had he attacked him? It seemed not. He had clearly been so exhausted that he had fainted. It was utterly humiliating!
More importantly, the fact that he, a Soul Douluo, had been forced to fight a Soul Emperor and ended up exhausted and unconscious completely shattered Yang Wudi's confidence built up over the years. Were all Soul Emperor this powerful now?
"You don't need to comfort me, Qi Ling, no, Alliance Leader," Yang Wudi said Youyou. "I am simply outmatched. From now on, the Breaking Clan will join Dragon's Glory along with the other clans. I hope the Alliance Leader will take good care of us."
"Haha, Old Goat, you should have done this a long time ago!" Tai Tan said happily. "Now the four of us brothers can eat, drink, and have fun together all the time! You may have a bad temper, but without you, things just wouldn't be the same."
Yang Wudi said irritably, "Hmph, although I have a bad temper, I'm still better than you. You're cunning and dishonest, with absolutely no integrity!"
"Hey, Old Goat, you can't say things like that. The Alliance Leader is still watching. If you leave a bad impression on him, I won't let you off the hook!" Tai Tan said.
Niu Gao then laughed and said, "Hehe, since that's the case, then it's settled! We'll start our operation first thing tomorrow morning! Old Gorilla, I'll take the tribe and go with you. Old Goat, Old White Bird, you two go back and pack your things, and hurry over with your tribes!"
"This time, our single-attribute family can unite as one again! Let's see who dares to bully us now! I'll order the children to start packing! You eat first, eat first!"
Just as everyone was enthusiastically envisioning a bright future, suddenly, two members of the Defense Clan rushed in from outside, hurriedly approached Niu Gao, and whispered something in his ear.
Niu Gao's expression changed, and he frowned, saying, "What are they doing here? Are they deliberately trying to cause trouble? This is really going too far!"
Seeing Niu Gao's anger, everyone became curious. Qi Ling asked, "Elder Niu Gao, what happened? Who came?"
"Who else could it be? The lackeys of the Divine Court, the people from the Lower Four Sects!" Niu Gao said angrily. "These bastards are really taking advantage of our vulnerability, bullying us on our own doorstep. I won't let them get away with this!"
Tai Tan asked, "Who's coming? The Elephant Armor Sect?"
"Not only that! The old guys from the Elephant Armor Sect, the Fire Blade Sect, and the Mad Lion Sect —all three sects have come!" Niu Gao said through gritted teeth. "They're determined to devour my Defense Clan. They're not here with good intentions!"
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of! All four of our clans are here today, are we afraid of them?" Yang Wudi sneered and said, "It's a good opportunity to give them a taste of their own medicine and let them know that we Four Single-Attribute Clans are not to be trifled with!"
Bai He chimed in, "That's right! We're about to set off for Heaven Dou City anyway, so it's good to teach them a lesson!"
Seeing that the four clan leaders were united in their hatred and about to go out to settle scores with them, Qi Ling stopped them and said with a smile, "Elders, please calm down. It's a rare occasion for you all to gather together for a meal and drinks. How can we let these cowards spoil our enjoyment!"
"But, Alliance Leader, are we just going to let them be so arrogant? And the way they're acting doesn't seem like they're willing to make peace with us!" Niu Gao said.
"Of course I know, elders, there's no need to worry. Leave these clowns to me," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Elder Niu Gao, please pour me a cup of hot wine. I'll make sure to get rid of them before it gets cold!"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Niu Gao exclaimed in surprise, " Qi Ling, those are the patriarchs of three sects! They all possess strength approaching that of Titled Douluo, and some have even reached the Titled Douluo level in their respective fields. Can you really handle all three of them at once?"
"I'm only close to becoming Titled Douluo, I can still give it a try," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Elders, just wait for my good news!"
"Wait, Alliance Leader!" Bai He called out to Qi Ling, "Although we have now joined Dragon's Glory, it's best not to publicize this matter for now, otherwise, there will definitely be people with ulterior motives trying to cause trouble!"
"Once we have settled everything and gathered our strength, that will be the best time to reveal ourselves to the world. Therefore, it is not appropriate for the alliance leader to appear here; let us handle it!"
"Elder Bai He, don't worry, I was prepared!" Qi Ling said, taking out Divine Head and Ghost Face from her body and putting it on her face. Her appearance and temperament instantly underwent a dramatic change, turning her into a completely unfamiliar person!
The elders were all taken aback when they saw Qi Ling in front of them. If they hadn't seen Qi Ling put on the mask with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the person in front of them was Qi Ling.
"What... what is this thing? It can so perfectly change a person's temperament and appearance, it's amazing!" Bai He exclaimed in astonishment.
"It's nothing, just a little trinket," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Please enjoy your meal, I'll be right back!"
After saying this, Qi Ling walked towards the entrance of the Defense Clan.
Although Qi Ling had Bai He and the others wait there, they couldn't really relax. Yang Wudi said to his granddaughter, " Tiexin, you go with the Alliance Leader. If anything goes wrong, come back and tell us immediately, and we'll leave right away."
Yang Tiexin agreed and followed Qi Ling out, intending to see how Qi Ling would deal with the three clan leaders.
