Yang Podi looked at his parents' still somewhat forlorn expressions and knew that they were probably still feeling guilty about the clansmen who had died at the hands of the Spirit Hall.
Yang Podi had no choice but to reveal his deepest plan. "Although the Spirit Hall Empire is powerful, the Soul Beast Clan will definitely not let this go so easily, especially Di Tian, whose personal strength is even stronger Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu. He will probably go all out for Tang San, and then things will really get interesting. The Spirit Hall Empire will also pay the price for what happened back then."
"Furthermore, I've also set a small trap for Bibi Dong Bibi Dong. If she doesn't give up her wicked intentions, it might cause her considerable trouble."
I had specifically told Bibi Dong about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. If Bibi Dong, with her relatively suspicious nature and her wariness of me, were to capture the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to deal with me, that would be quite interesting.
Yang Zhentian seemed a little puzzled. "Since this Tang San is a menace, why not eliminate him beforehand? With your strength, you should be able to do it."
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh, "Back when we were at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, I originally planned to take advantage of defeating Tang Hao and Tang Xiao to kill Tang San, but Di Tian rescued me. During the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, Qian Daoliu also had a chance to kill Tang San, but Di Tian intervened halfway through. I'm afraid that to kill Tang San, I'll have to defeat Di Tian."
"My current strength is roughly equal to Di Tian's, and I'm not yet confident that I can truly kill him. When we destroyed the Clear Sky Sect, Bibi Dong and more than ten Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall Empire also fought against Di Tian. If the Spirit Hall Empire hadn't had so many Titled Douluo, they probably would have suffered a great loss."
"Dad, your current strength has reached Level 98. It's extremely difficult for a normal Soul Master to break through to Level 99. Martial Soul, physical attributes, Soul Bone, and opportunities are all indispensable. In particular, you must have a second Soul Core. I will research methods to help you form Second Soul Core soon. Mom, you should also make good use of your Soul Bone as soon as possible, ideally having Soul Bone over 50,000 years old throughout your body."
" Tang Chen's Soul Bone were all quite good, especially suitable for Mom. If you're still missing any Soul Bone, feel free to come to me, and I'll try my best to get them for you."
Yang Zhentian and Niu Jinfeng nodded with some relief upon hearing this, as their son's insight and plans were already very clear.
"By the way, Podi, did you see what happened to the Speed Clan and Strength Clan after the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was wiped out? Were they also completely wiped out? What should we do if any of their clansmen come to join us?"
Although the Four Single-Attribute Clans have broken ties, the brotherhood of the older generation is probably not so easy to sever.
Yang Podi thought carefully before speaking, "Back then, Heaven Dou City was too chaotic, and I didn't pay much attention to them. However, given the way the Spirit Hall Empire does things and Bibi Dong's personality, they are probably in grave danger. I only sensed that Tai Tan seemed to have led some of his people away from Heaven Dou City, Bai He was nowhere to Heaven Dou City."
"Even so, the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan must have suffered heavy losses; it's estimated that neither of the two clans has more than a hundred members left."
"If Tai Tan really brings people to join us, try not to take them in. At most, give them some material assistance. After all, they are loyal to Tang San, and they might be a menace in the future. Their stance is completely different from that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Besides, they've always wanted to join the Clear Sky Sect in the struggle for supremacy and recreate their former glory. So naturally, they have to take responsibility for their actions. I haven't personally wiped them out because of our past friendship."
When the Heaven Dou Empire was destroyed, Yang Podi was always focused on Di Tian and Xiong Jun, and had no interest in such minor characters. Moreover, on the surface, Yang Podi hadn't gotten a drop of blood on his hands.
Yang Zhentian hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Alright, I'll go discuss it with Dad and Father-in-law. If their two clans are truly in dire straits, we should avoid them if possible and try not to take them in."
Suddenly, Mom laughed, " Podi, what's the deal with this girl who came this time? She seems like someone special. What's your relationship with her?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi's face immediately fell. "This person is Qian Renxue, also known as the imposter Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. I borrowed her Angel Holy Sword to complete the Third Trial of the Asura God Assessment. Now that the transaction is complete, we have no further connection."
But Yang Zhentian, the father, seemed to have a strange smile on his face, " Podi, we can understand these things, and besides, it's normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines."
Before he could finish speaking, a large hand grabbed his ear. "What did you say? It's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Do you want to find someone with three wives and four concubines too?"
Looking at Niu Jinfeng's frosty face, Yang Zhentian quickly begged for mercy, "Wife, you know me. You're enough for me. How could I dare to think about having three wives and four concubines?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to corrupt our son?"
"I simply Podi seemed a bit confused, so I wanted to offer a few pointers."
"I think you're talking nonsense. Aren't you afraid your teaching methods will do you a lot of harm?"
"Dad, Mom, I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of, so I won't bother you anymore." After saying this, Yang Podi quickly made his escape.
However, when Yang Podi arrived at Ye Lingling's place, he was turned away for the first time.
Yang Podi cried out to the door, " Lingling, you have to believe me! I have absolutely no connection with this young lady!"
Ye Lingling's cold voice came from inside the room. "I didn't say anything. I'm just in seclusion cultivating. Can you give me some peace and quiet?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi had no choice but to return home dejectedly.
However, as soon as she got home, Qian Renxue gripped her golden longsword, her face showing a hint of anger. "What were you saying to your little girlfriend just now? You actually told her that it had nothing to do with me! What about what happened in the Rakshasa Secret Realm? I never thought that a grown man like you would be such a heartless and unfaithful person."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi nearly coughed up blood. " Qian Renxue, I've explained everything to you. From beginning to end, I haven't touched a single hair on your head. There's absolutely nothing between us."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nearly struck with her sword, but Yang Podi vanished in a flash, disappearing completely from sight.
When Yang Podi reappeared, he was already hiding in the snow-capped mountains, muttering to himself, "Am I having good luck or bad luck? How did a simple request to borrow a sword end up offending this young lady? Looks like I'll have to go into hiding for a while."
Qian Renxue was so angry when she saw Yang Podi disappear that she stomped her feet. But now that he was gone, she couldn't very well go after him.
For the next while, the entire Heavenly Pursuit Academy was eerily quiet. Yang Podi had completely disappeared, Ye Lingling was in seclusion, Ning Rongrong looked at Qian Renxue with what seemed like hatred, and the others didn't seem to care much about Qian Renxue either.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, they probably would have already started fighting.
