From a distance, Lin Gong and Yang Xiong watched the violent scene, their mouths twitching. The Elephant Armor Sect had suffered a huge loss this time.
Originally, they had dispatched three Soul Douluo and nine Soul Saints, two of whom seemed to have just absorbed Soul Rings. It appeared they were indeed preparing for a large-scale Soul Ring hunt.
However, after the powerful attacks from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, one Soul Douluo was instantly crushed by the Sky Blue Bull Python, and another Soul Douluo was torn to pieces by the Titan Giant Ape while covering the retreat.
Seven of the nine Soul Saints were directly lost, all killed on the spot, in addition to the quasi-Soul Douluo who was in the process of absorbing a Soul Ring.
Only Huyan Zhen managed to escape with two Soul Saints, but all three were also seriously injured.
Huyan Zhen's combat power, however, surprised Yang Xiong a little. As expected of the Sect Leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, and worthy of the title of the strongest defense in the world, he already possessed combat power comparable to a newly ascended Titled Douluo, especially his incredibly strong defense. He managed to withstand several blows from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python without dying, proving his strength.
It was truly unknown how long it would take for the Elephant Armor Sect to recover after this battle. At least in the short term, they wouldn't be so arrogant.
After communicating with Xiao Wu, Yang Xiong left directly.
Lin Gong was a little puzzled: "Little Xiong, are we going straight back now?"
Yang Xiong shook his head: "Not going back for now. I have something to deal with in the Star Luo Empire."
Lin Gong was a little confused: "Star Luo Empire? Where are you planning to go?"
Yang Xiong said: "I'm going to the Breaking Clan's base. There are some things only they can help me with."
Lin Gong also became a little serious: "What are you going to the Breaking Clan for? The Breaking Clan is not easy to provoke. Their clan's combat power is very strong, and the Soul Breaking Spear is a top-tier Tool Martial Soul. Their Sect Leader, Yang Wudi, is a top-tier Soul Douluo, and they don't have much interaction with our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yang Xiong smiled: "Don't worry, Teacher Lin, I won't have any conflict with them. Perhaps we will have unexpected gains."
...
The two didn't dwell on it any longer and simply walked along the Star Dou Great Forest towards the Star Luo Empire.
The Star Dou Great Forest spans across the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, so there was no need to cross the border to go directly from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Star Luo Empire.
They didn't encounter anything else along the way. After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, the two rented a carriage and prepared to head to the Breaking Clan's base.
After more than ten days, Yang Xiong and his group arrived at a very special small city. This small city was mainly focused on the trade of medicinal products, primarily the sale of medicines refined by the Breaking Clan.
Although the Breaking Clan only had a few hundred people, everyone was skilled in refining medicine. They were the largest medicinal refining family on the entire Douluo Continent, and the medicinal materials they refined were also very good.
After arriving at the Breaking Clan, Lin Gong directly revealed his identity: "Tell your clan leader that Lin Gong and Yang Xiong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are here to visit."
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not as well-known in the Star Luo Empire, it was still a top-tier sect. As expected, they were quickly led inside the Breaking Clan, and directly into their main hall.
Upon entering the Breaking Clan, Yang Xiong felt an unusually strong scent of medicinal herbs everywhere. It even seemed like everyone was filled with killing intent, truly living up to the reputation of the Breaking Clan, known as a fighting clan.
After the two arrived at the hall, a very tall old man was sitting in the center of the hall. This person was thin and long, with very strong muscles. His expression seemed a little cold, his eyes somewhat gloomy, and his gaze was like electricity, looking unusually fierce.
This person was precisely the Clan Leader of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi, and also a rare pure attack Soul Douluo in the world. In terms of pure combat power, he could even rival a Titled Douluo.
Yang Wudi seemed quite familiar with Lin Gong and spoke directly: "Lin Gong, haven't you been hiding in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect all these years? How did you actually run out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Lin Gong smiled: "I'm getting old and just wanted to come out and walk around. Does Clan Leader Yang not welcome me?"
"Besides, my experience back then was far worse than yours, Clan Leader Yang."
Yang Wudi snorted coldly: "Isn't it just the Spirit Hall? We weren't afraid of the Spirit Hall back then, and we were willing to fight to the death. On the contrary, weren't you afraid of the Spirit Hall back then?"
Lin Gong sighed: "The Spirit Hall back then was just bullying others by relying on their power. Now that I am in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, what can the Spirit Hall do to me?"
"However, Clan Leader Yang, your Breaking Clan owes my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a small favor from back then. You wouldn't be so unreasonable, would you?"
Lin Gong had already told Yang Xiong about this matter. Back then, the Four Single Attribute Families were abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect and then surrounded and attacked by people from the Spirit Hall.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect hadn't led a large army to support them, and if the Heaven Dou Empire hadn't even sent troops, the Four Single Attribute Families wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.
Yang Wudi was silent for a moment. "I, Yang Wudi, am not an unreasonable person. Just tell me what you need. As long as your request isn't too excessive, I will do my best to fulfill it."
Lin Gong smiled. "This isn't about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time, nor is it for the favor from back then. It's just that this young friend beside me has something he wants to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi looked directly at Yang Xiong, his gaze seemingly extremely sharp, as if full of aggression.
"Young friend, are you from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? What do you want from me?"
Yang Xiong bowed slightly. "Senior Yang, I am Yang Xiong, a junior from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I specifically came here to make a small trade with you."
Yang Wudi burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Just a mere Soul Ancestor, and you look no older than fifteen. Do you know what kind of place my Breaking Clan is? We in the Breaking Clan only know how to fight, not trade."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Senior hasn't even heard the content of the trade, so how can you deny it outright? Could it be that Senior only looks at age?"
Yang Wudi's expression turned cold. "My Breaking Clan is doing well in the Star Luo Empire and doesn't want to get involved with your Upper Three Sects. If you really want to make a trade, have your elders come over. Perhaps then I might be a little interested."
Lin Gong interjected at this point. "Yang Wudi, don't underestimate people too much. Although Yang Xiong is young, he has already become a disciple of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. You wouldn't want Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to come and discuss this with you, would you?"
Lin Gong's words were also meant to show Yang Xiong's status. Otherwise, a mere Soul Ancestor would have no standing in front of Yang Wudi.
Yang Wudi's face darkened. "Yang Xiong, I've heard that name. I heard you performed well in this Soul Master Competition, but you still lost to the Spirit Hall. You've truly disgraced your masters."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Isn't it normal for Soul Masters to win and lose? At that time, I was only a level forty quasi-Soul Ancestor, while the opponents were three Soul Kings. It would have been abnormal if I had won."
"Besides, I lost to them today, but perhaps I can win next time. After all, I am much younger than them and have the opportunity to surpass them at any time."
Yang Wudi's face turned cold. "You must know that you were born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You can lose to anyone, but you cannot lose to the Spirit Hall. As a warrior, you should fight with all your might until death."
Yang Xiong's expression changed. "Senior Yang, you can't say that. Besides me, our team also had Tang San from the Clear Sky Sect, Yu Tianheng from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and even members of the Jade Scale Family and the Star Luo imperial family. At least I performed much better than the others, and my combat power was also stronger than theirs."
Yang Wudi's expression immediately changed upon hearing this, and he instantly emitted boundless killing intent. Yang Xiong felt this aura was extremely cold, even extremely sharp, as if his body was about to be pierced at any moment. "What do you mean by that? You should know that my Breaking Clan hates the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall the most, yet you dare to mention so much in front of me. This is my Breaking Clan, and one Lin Gong may not be able to protect you."
Yang Xiong smiled. "I am only representing myself this time. It has nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, nor with Teacher Lin."
Yang Wudi sneered. "Then, for the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Lin Gong, tell me, what kind of trade do you have in mind by coming to my Breaking Clan this time?"
Yang Xiong clearly saw the disdain in Yang Wudi's eyes. Indeed, for a master with such extensive knowledge, no matter how talented someone is, it's too far in the future, especially since Yang Xiong is currently only a Soul Ancestor.
However, Yang Xiong truly didn't have much standing in front of Yang Wudi right now, as standing is earned through strength.
Yang Xiong paused before speaking. "Senior Yang, I heard that your Breaking Clan is looking for a spirit herb. Perhaps I was quite lucky and happened to obtain this spirit herb."
Yang Wudi, who had been indifferent, was suddenly startled. "What did you say? What spirit herb did you obtain?"
Yang Xiong smiled. "Senior, don't be nervous. Rather than a spirit herb, it's more like an immortal herb. I was lucky enough to obtain this immortal herb."
Yang Wudi's eyes widened, and he became incredibly excited. "You mean you obtained the Aromatic Silk Beauty? This is impossible. My Breaking Clan has searched for countless generations. The Aromatic Silk Beauty cannot exist in this world."
However, before Yang Wudi could continue speaking, Yang Xiong's hand already held a large, light pink flower. It was leafless, with a stem nearly a meter long, and the flower's diameter exceeded a foot. Each petal was as crystal clear as glass, and the pistils were all purple, like inlaid gems.
Yang Wudi was completely stunned, his eyes flickering as he looked at the Aromatic Silk Beauty in Yang Xiong's hand, as if he had seen a peerless treasure, or as if he had seen a beautiful woman he had longed for. He seemed completely intoxicated.
"How is this possible? It's actually the Aromatic Silk Beauty. Where did you get this Aromatic Silk Beauty?"
Without a word, Yang Xiong directly put the Aromatic Silk Beauty into his Soul Tool, a faint smile seemingly playing on the corner of his mouth.
Yang Wudi's face instantly showed great alarm, even filled with anger. "What exactly do you want to do? Do you intend to show off this Immortal Herb in my Breaking Clan?"
Yang Xiong's expression was unusually calm. "I don't intend to show off anything, I just want to prove that I possess this Immortal Herb. I believe now I should be qualified to discuss a transaction with Senior Yang."
Yang Wudi's face darkened. "Aren't you afraid I'll keep you and Lin Gong here? This is my Breaking Clan, and I never let others dictate terms."
Seeing that the two seemed to be on the verge of a confrontation, Lin Gong, who was standing by, quickly intervened. "Clan Leader Yang, that's a bit much. We are guests from afar, and we even have a common enemy in the Spirit Hall. In a sense, we share the same stance. It's not necessary to resort to arms over this so-called Immortal Herb."
Hearing Lin Gong's words, Yang Wudi gradually calmed down. Finally, he spoke with resignation, "You win, kid. What kind of transaction do you want to make? But don't think of asking for too much."
