Chapter 129: Lightning attack on Longxing City, clearing out the affiliated forces of Haotian Sect

In the northern part of the Xingluo Empire, close to the Tiandou Empire, there is a city called Longxing City, where the Yu clan lives.

Longxing City was previously governed by a kingdom under the Xingluo Empire, and the Yu clan once had partial control over the city. However, after the previous war, the Xingluo Empire had actually controlled a lot of territory in the subordinate kingdoms, and Longxing City was one of them. The Yu clan naturally lost control of Longxing City, and their sphere of influence was greatly reduced.

Starting half a month ago, the Yu clan sent people to the city gate to welcome guests.

It turned out that today was the biennial gathering of the four former single-attribute affiliated sects of the Haotian Sect: the Power Clan, the Destruction Clan, the Defense Clan, and the Agility Clan.

After the Haotian Sect was closed, among the four subordinate clans, except for the Li clan, which stayed in Tiandou City for some reason, the other three clans all moved to the Xingluo Empire. Because among the original three major clans, the Qibao Liuli Clan supported the Tiandou Empire, the Landian Tyrant Clan remained neutral, and the Haotian Sect supported the Xingluo Empire. Therefore, these affiliated forces still had a lot of incense and friendship with the Haotian Sect, and the relationship was pretty good. Most of them chose to seek refuge and develop in the Xingluo Empire.

Compared to the lively gatherings in previous years, this gathering seemed particularly deserted. There was no grand outdoor celebration, but simply dozens of banquet tables were set up in the yard. There were few meat dishes in the meal, and the meat dishes served were simply cooked with common thousand-year soul beast meat. There was no famous wine, no delicacies from land and sea, which seemed extremely shabby. After all, no matter what, the patriarchs of the four clans were all Soul Douluo-level masters. It was such a big gathering, but there was only this little food.

Niu Gao, the chief of the Yu clan, raised his glass and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my old brothers. This year's party is a bit shabby, but I have tried my best to prepare it. After this banquet, my Yu clan will have to tighten their belts for the next six months."

"Everyone knows the current situation. No one is having an easy time. Ever since the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan rose up and killed Tang Hao, the traitor of the human race, my Yu clan has started to have a hard time! Tang Hao's reputation has been ruined, and the reputation of the entire Haotian Sect has also been ruined. However, the Haotian Sect has been sealed, and others cannot find it, so they point the spearhead at us, the former affiliated forces of the Haotian Sect. But what they don't know is that I hate the Haotian Sect more than they do!"

"The Xingluo Empire is afraid of offending the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan, and has intentionally or unintentionally excluded our clan. It is difficult for the family's business to continue, and no one is willing to buy. When they heard that the shop was opened by the former affiliated forces of the Haotian Sect, they turned around and left. It's good enough if they didn't spit at us."

"Especially after the Haotian Sect was destroyed by the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan and the fact that all its members were soul beast spies was exposed, my Yu clan was implicated even more. In the past, we could still sell some things, but now even if we sell them at cost price, no one is willing to buy them. The family's turnover has not been a penny for half a month, and now we have to rely on our old capital."

Tang Hao's uncle, Bai He, the head of the Min clan, remained silent after hearing this. Because of the special relationship between his Min clan and the Haotian Sect, they were suppressed by the Spirit Hall and suffered heavy losses in the past. Now they are ridiculed by almost all the creatures in the Douluo Continent. Many people secretly say that his family is also a spy sent by the soul beast. But Bai He couldn't speak. He had to maintain his personality of being loyal and righteous. It was okay to scold Tang Hao in private, but it would be bad to do it in public.

"Old Rhino, you're going too far. Master, he, he," Tai Tan looked at the dissatisfied eyes of the others and quickly changed his words, "Tang Hao is one of the strongest people in the human race. He doesn't need to change his clan or court. I think this is a false accusation against the Haotian Sect by the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan."

"Old gorilla, the Haotian Sect is dead, why are you pretending? You are still kneeling? Who are you kneeling for? If you dare to kneel here again to insult the Haotian Sect, get out immediately! If you don't, I, Yang Wudi, will beat you away. Don't you think about who is responsible for our current tragic situation? Are you worthy of your dead clansmen?"

The leader of the Po Yi clan, Yang Wudi, didn't care about the friendship they had for many years and directly mocked Tai Tan. When the Haotian Sect abandoned them, his Po Yi clan was implicated by the Haotian Sect and most of the clan members died. He remembered every scene.

Among these people, Yang Wudi had the deepest resentment towards Haotian Sect. In fact, he had some conflicts with Haotian Sect before the seal was lifted. The inheritance of the Poyi Clan was to make medicine, which was very mysterious, and the Haotian Sect always wanted to snatch the Poyi Clan's prescriptions. Yang Wudi was naturally unwilling to hand over the family inheritance to others, and the seeds of explosion were planted decades ago. Titan was angry and embarrassed when his scars were revealed. He was already irritable, and immediately pointed at Yang Wudi and cursed: "You only talk about the bad things. Why don't you, Yang Wudi, talk about the benefits that the Poyi Clan got from Haotian Sect? Before the seal of Haotian Sect was lifted, you relied on the banner of the world's number one sect to open a medicine business that covered half of the Xingluo Empire and made a lot of money. Why don't you mention these things?"

Yang Wudi used his martial spirit, and the two sides confronted each other, "Haha! This is really funny. My Po Yi clan did make a lot of money back then, but was that money earned for myself? The Haotian Sect took 80% of the money, and I was left with 20%, which was barely enough to cover the cost and production expenses. I didn't get any benefits at all."

"Besides, I made money with my ancestral medicine skills. What does it have to do with the Haotian Sect? Back then, relying on my medicine skills, all the top forces in the continent sent me invitations. I could have survived anywhere, but I rejected their generous conditions and joined the Haotian Sect. I am loyal enough. In the end, I ended up like this. I got nothing and the basket was broken. The Haotian Sect owes me, but I don't owe it to the Haotian Sect."

Bai He saw the two men were about to start fighting, and hurried to stop them, "Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing, the entire Haotian clan has been destroyed, there is no point in discussing this, we should look forward, let go of things that cannot be changed. The four of us have been good brothers for many years, there is no need to hurt our brotherhood because of outsiders."

The Min clan is unlike the other three clans. The Po clan has excellent medical skills and can make a living by selling medicine; the Li clan can forge iron and maintain the normal practice of the family; the Yu clan is wear-resistant, has strong defense, and has a high level of construction. They usually help others design a garden or build a mansion, which can also meet the practice resource needs of family members.

The Min clan had no skills, only a fast martial spirit, weak combat power, and was unwilling to join other families, making it the poorest of the four families.

The main purpose of his visit this time was to ask for some money from the other three tribes. If Yang Wudi and his men started fighting and damaged the relationship, he would not get a penny, so he would naturally be the first to stop the fight.

Niu Gao quickly stood in the middle and pulled Yang Wudi and Tai Tan apart. "Today is a great day for our four families to reunite. Please give me some face and sit down to eat."

"Yeah, let's sit down and eat! After all, this is your last meal. You can set off after eating." An unfamiliar voice reached the ears of Niu Gao and the other three, scaring them.

Yang Wudi and the others looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in the room, sweating profusely, their legs trembling, and retreating again and again, "Xianbao Douluo! You, how could you be here!" (Xianbao Douluo is Zhuang Jingxing's title)

"Your Majesty, welcome to my humble home. I hope you can forgive me for not being able to come and meet you from afar." As the host, Niu Gao was much calmer. He probably guessed that the other party came to find fault because of his and the Haotian Sect's past connection. He pretended to be calm and took a step forward to show his value in order to survive.

Before he could open his mouth, Zhuang Jingxing used his ninth soul skill to kill him. The power of the soul skill remained undiminished and it directly killed Titan and the other three.
