Everyone seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing Yang Podi's words.
Everyone has recently received some rumors that the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, is ambitious and has been in close contact with the Spirit Hall, attempting to collude with the Spirit Hall to oppose his elder brother, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
When this rumor first spread, everyone found it very strange. Wasn't Xue Beng known for his extravagant lifestyle? How could he suddenly have such great ambitions?
However, some busybodies carefully summarized Xue Beng's past Xue Beng deeds and discovered that Xue Beng had always been enduring humiliation and had done many very good things.
For example, Xue Beng gathered a bunch of cronies and caused trouble at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He used this as an excuse to drive away many talented young people who wanted to join Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, which made the Heaven Dou Royal Academy weaker. Even the Heaven Dou Team One almost left. His scheming was quite deep.
For example, Prince Xue Beng once used a pretext to pursue Dugu Yan, Yang Tianyue, and others, attempting to find a powerful backer at the level of Titled Douluo in order to oppose his elder brother, the Prince Xue Beng.
What's even more outrageous is that Xue Beng's group of cronies all come from prominent families and hold important positions in the Heaven Dou Empire. They usually keep a low profile, but once they do, they will become a formidable force.
After analysis by various parties, it was discovered that Prince Xue Beng was clearly an ambitious and patient genius. Recently, rumors have spread that he had colluded with the Spirit Hall Prince Xue Beng Spirit Hall in an attempt to gain their support.
At this time, Prince Xue Beng was indeed having a bad time. He had only made contact with the Spirit Hall, but he was summoned to the palace by Xue Ye and given a furious scolding. It seemed that Xue Ye was quite angry.
On the other hand, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, seemingly acting as an elder brother and peacemaker, kept offering advice, which further highlighted Xue Beng's poor character.
In Prince Xue Xing's mansion, Prince Xue Xing seemed to be extremely disappointed in his nephew, Prince Xue Beng. As a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, he actually had some connection with the Spirit Hall, directly violating Xue Ye's greatest taboo.
Prince Xue Beng, however, seemed unconcerned. "Uncle, I only have some contact with the Spirit Hall. How serious can it be? Besides, the Spirit Hall is indeed powerful and very sincere. They have already indicated that they will send Soul Douluo experts to assist me long-term, and if needed, they can send Titled Douluo to help at any time."
Prince Xue Xing seemed extremely angry. "I told you to pretend to be a playboy, not to actually be one. And now look what's happened, people have dug up all your past misdeeds. And you even dared to collude with the Spirit Hall! If you collude with the Spirit Hall, who will own the Heaven Dou Empire in the future—the Xue family or the Spirit Hall?"
Prince Xue Beng was still somewhat puzzled. " The Spirit Hall is so powerful, I only wanted to use their strength to fight against my elder brother, otherwise I'm afraid I would die a terrible death. In the past year alone, the Soul Douluo that the Spirit Hall sent to my side have helped me a lot, and I've escaped several assassination attempts."
Prince Xue Xing was also puzzled. "Actually, I also find it strange. Logically speaking, your two older brothers died without anyone noticing, so why would anyone dare to assassinate you now? This is completely unlike Xue Qinghe's style."
Both Prince Xue Xing Xingqing and Prince Xue Beng were puzzled.
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Empire palace, Xue Ye was also very puzzled by this matter. According to his estimation, it should have been Crown Prince Xue Qinghe who colluded with the Spirit Hall, so how did it become Prince Xue Beng? Now both of his sons seemed to be caught in a fog, completely unable to understand what the two were doing.
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was all smiles as he looked at the report in his hand. Since his deal with Yang Podi, he had gained a great deal. Not only had he sown discord between Xue Ye and Prince Xue Beng, but he had also made considerable gains himself, at least putting Xue Beng, a contender for the throne, in the eye of the storm.
At this moment, only Yang Podi and Yang Wudi remained in the secret chamber of the Breaking Clan.
Yang Podi asked somewhat seriously, "Grandpa, have you absorbed all the family's Soul Bone?"
Yang Wudi shook his head. "These Soul Bone are all very valuable. I'm too old, and my potential is already very limited. Even if I absorb them all, I won't improve much. I'd like your father to absorb them all. With his potential and strength, he still has a chance to reach higher levels in the future."
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking, "No matter what, you need to absorb these Soul Bone at home as soon as possible to improve your strength. Whether it's the duel you're about to have or the enemies you might encounter later, you must have enough strength to deal with them."
Yang Wudi looked at Yang Podi with a puzzled expression. " Podi, don't you have any that you like? These are all top-grade Soul Bone, especially the Head Soul Bone you brought back last time. Its age and value are frighteningly high, even more valuable than the inherited Soul Bone of the Clear Sky Sect."
Yang Podi simply shook his head. "This Soul Bone is good, but I have other goals. Since you think my father has good potential, let him absorb all of them as soon as possible. It can be considered a hidden trump card for the family. If my father absorbs these Soul Bone, he should have a chance to reach Level 96 or even 97 in the future. That way, our family will have a strong member."
Yang Wudi thought about it carefully, and finally nodded. "I'll talk to your second grandfather and your father as soon as possible. This matter really can't be delayed any longer."
"By the way, Podi, should we also sell a few layers of that Mysterious Heaven Skill? Given the exquisite nature of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, I'm really reluctant to part with it. Besides, the family isn't short of money at all; there's no need to do this for a little bit of money."
Yang Podi shook his head. "This absolutely has to be sold. As time goes on, those who possess other secret manuals will eventually discover its shortcomings. If only we can master it, we'll easily become targets. Selling a few layers out will at least give others hope, and no one will target us."
"Even if someone discovers that we've cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, we can just say we bought it from the black market. There are always all sorts of things on the black market anyway; we just got lucky and bought more than we needed."
Yang Wudi thought about it carefully for a while, and finally nodded. "Your idea is more comprehensive. Perhaps you are right. Only by muddying the waters can we develop better."
"Now that you 'Podi, what are your plans? To retreat to your home and cultivate in seclusion?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "I plan to go to Mount Aermo with my grandfather in a while to discuss our family's future plans. Once the plans for Mount Aermo Mount Aermo finalized, I will begin my cultivation there."
Yang Wudi nodded, "That's good too. It'll be quieter over there, and no one should bother you. The environment there is indeed suitable for Soul Master to cultivate."
"By the way, Grandpa, if any of the elders in the family have potential, we should increase resources to cultivate them. They are the backbone of the family. It would be best if one or two more Titled Douluo emerged, which would make the family even safer."
Yang Wudi nodded. "I understand that. The six elders of the family have dedicated their lives to the family. Although we can't let them know our core secrets, training them is still very necessary. The strength of Soul Douluo is indeed a little lacking. I will discuss the details with your father."
After a detailed discussion, the two basically finalized the family's future plans. Grandfather Yang Wudi also made up his mind to give all the family's resources to his father, Yang Zhentian, who was perhaps the most promising member of the Breaking Clan to improve in the short term.
In the following period, both the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan remained very calm. Even the matter of selling the secret manuals was temporarily postponed. The most important thing now was to deal with the final battle between Grandpa Yang Wudi and Grandpa Niu Gao. After all, this time the opponents were quite powerful. Both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were veteran Titled Douluo with Soul Power of level 95.
After leaving the secret room, Yang Podi went to Ye Lingling's room. The previous events were important matters between the two families, and it was inconvenient for Ye Lingling to participate. However, Yang Podi preferred their own little world, where they would not be disturbed by the outside world.
When Yang Podi entered Ye Lingling's room, Ye Lingling seemed a little unhappy. " Brother Yang, how did things go? Is everything finished?"
Yang Podi nodded. "Right now, the family is most concerned about my grandfather and maternal grandfather's final battle with Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, as well as our upcoming trip to Mount Aermo. There are quite a few miscellaneous matters."
Ye Lingling seemed unusually a little angry. "Is there something to do with the Soul Bone?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but pat Ye Lingling's head and smiled slightly, "What are you thinking, you silly girl? It's just a few Soul Bone. Actually, none of these Soul Bone are very suitable for you, otherwise I would give them all to you without any problem."
Ye Lingling rarely acted coquettishly. "You're so good with words. I'm not even jealous of these Soul Bone, so why are you avoiding me?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "It's not about the Soul Bone. There are other family matters as well. After this decisive battle, both our Breaking Clan and Defense Clan will be moving to Mount Aermo. There are still some details to discuss."
Ye Lingling seemed a little reluctant. "Do we really have to go to Mount Aermo? If we go, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time seeing my grandfather again."
Yang Podi seemed to have made up his mind. "We absolutely have to go. The world is clearly about to run into trouble, and I'm afraid something big will happen to the whole world. Leaving sooner will help us avoid disaster. Actually, it would be best to ask your grandfather to go to Mount Aermo as well; that would be safer."
Ye Lingling shook her head. "I know my grandfather's personality well. In his eyes, patients come first. No matter what kind of patient it is, he will do his best to treat them. He would never leave Heaven Dou City, much less go to the sparsely populated Mount Aermo."
"Besides, given Grandpa's reputation and status, no one should dare to harm him. Moreover, Grandpa is protected by several Soul Douluo, so ordinary people can't hurt him."
Yang Podi seemed to have thought of something, " Lingling, has your grandfather eaten the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King he gave you last time? If not, make him eat it as soon as possible. It will improve his Soul Power and physical fitness, and he will be better able to face problems in the future."
Ye Lingling nodded. "Grandpa has always loved that Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, but he's reluctant to eat it. I'll go and persuade him as soon as possible."
Yang Podi gently kissed Ye Lingling: "Tell your grandfather not to worry too much about that Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King; I still have more of those."
