On the day of the gathering of the four single-attribute clans, Yang Podi, accompanied by his father, mother, and grandfather, as well as Yang Tianyue and Yang Pingan, arrived at the Speed Clan's stronghold.
Not sure if he had heard some news, Yang Wudi seemed less spirited than usual, as if he was troubled by something.
Yang Podi directly addressed his grandfather, "Grandfather, what is your attitude towards the Clear Sky Sect now?"
After thinking for a while, Yang Wudi replied, "Our Breaking Clan will never forget the hatred of the past. I have nothing but hatred for the Clear Sky Sect and will no longer have any dealings with them."
Yang Podi nodded in agreement. "Grandfather, I, Yang Podi, will never be inferior to anyone and will never bow to anyone. With my ability, even without relying on anyone, I will ensure the Breaking Clan prospers."
Yang Wudi looked at his grandson, giving a slight nod without saying anything more.
In less than an hour, they arrived at the Speed Clan's stronghold.
Though the Speed Clan was also located near Heaven Dou City, it was obviously much humbler compared to the other three clans. Unlike the other clans with various industries, the Speed Clan was much more impoverished. They didn't have any special skills, and due to their pride, none of them were willing to accept the Spirit Hall's soul master aid.
Though they resided near Heaven Dou City, they occasionally needed the support of the other three clans, especially the Breaking Clan, who would occasionally help transport medicinal pills and other supplies, which was considered a form of support.
The gathering was still split into three tables. The central table was for the clan leaders of the four clans, though this time, Yang Podi's second grandfather, Yang Wushuang, was absent. To the left was the table for the clan's younger clan leaders, with Yang Zhendian and Niu Jinfeng seated at the middle table.
To the right, there was a table for the younger generation, which included Yang Podi, Yang Pingan, Yang Tianyue from the Breaking Clan, as well as Tai Long, Niu Meng, Bai Xiaofei, Bai Chenxiang from the other clans, though Tai Long had not yet arrived.
At that moment, Tai Long's family arrived. Aside from Tai Tan, Tai Nuo, and Tai Long, there was a young man, who was none other than Tang San, whom Yang Podi had seen at the Teacher's Committee building.
Old Man Niu Gao, with his fiery temper, immediately spoke, "Old Gorilla, we're gathering as the four clans, why did you bring an outsider?"
Tang San, who had been standing behind Tai Tan, spoke, "Hello, Senior Niu Gao, I'm Tang San."
Old Man Niu Gao's face froze for a moment, "You're surnamed Tang?"
Tang San continued, "My father is Tang Hao."
Upon hearing the name "Tang Hao," the entire room went cold.
Immediately, Old Man Niu Gao stood up angrily, his face, once smiling, now darkened. He turned to Tai Tan, "Old Gorilla, what is the meaning of this? Hasn't the Clear Sky Sect caused us enough suffering? If it weren't for that Tang Hao, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
Tai Tan frowned slightly, "Old Rhinoceros, calm down. Had there not been what happened with my master, would the Spirit Hall have spared the Clear Sky Sect? I too hate the Clear Sky Sect for treating us subordinate sects as expendable, but what does this have to do with the young master?"
Old Man Niu Gao's anger remained unchanged, "I don't care about Tang San or Tang Hao. Tell him to leave immediately. I don't want to have any dealings with people from the Clear Sky Sect anymore."
Tai Tan, seemingly agitated, stood up, "If you want the young master to leave, I will leave too. Our Strength Clan will no longer participate in this gathering."
Tang San quickly stopped Tai Tan, "Senior Tai Tan, please wait."
Tang San then bowed to the three clan leaders, "Three seniors, I know that the events of the past have brought great trouble to your clans. Therefore, I am here on behalf of my father to apologize. I have come to make amends."
Old Man Niu Gao remained disdainful, "No need. Our Defense Clan will no longer have any connection with the Clear Sky Sect. We are doing fine now and don't need any compensation from you."
At this moment, Yang Wudi spoke up, "Our Breaking Clan has no connection with the Clear Sky Sect anymore, and we don't need your compensation."
However, Bai He of the Speed Clan, who had remained calm since Tang San entered, said nothing.
Based on Yang Podi's estimation, Tang San must have met with Bai He long before and perhaps even resolved their animosity.
At this time, Tang San was still only a soul master at around level thirty, while Old Man Niu Gao was already a titled Douluo. The pressure from his aura alone was far beyond what Tang San could withstand.
Tai Tan stood in front of Tang San, "Old Rhinoceros, this is my young master. Please don't be so aggressive."
Old Man Niu Gao was momentarily speechless, "Old Gorilla, I don't know why you're so fixated on this Tang San, but let me just say this: I have no further business with the Tang family. It doesn't matter who comes; nothing will change."
Tang San seemed to struggle, trying to say something more, but the immense pressure from Old Man Niu Gao was far beyond his ability to withstand. Even Tai Tan felt great pressure.
Just as the tension seemed about to escalate, a voice boomed in, "Wait a moment!"
The voice was deep and powerful, and it completely neutralized the pressure from Old Man Niu Gao, clearly coming from a titled Douluo.
Then, a tall man walked in. Despite his massive muscles, he wore tattered black robes and looked rather disheveled with a scruffy beard, even smelling of alcohol.
If it weren't for the previous loud voice, he would have looked more like a beggar or a drunk than a high-ranking soul master.
Seeing this figure, both Old Man Niu Gao and Yang Wudi's faces darkened further, "Tang Hao, you dare to show yourself?"
Tang Hao seemed solemn as he greeted, "Uncle, Yang Senior, Niu Senior, it's been a long time."
Yang Wudi, filled with rage, glared at Tang Hao, "Tang Hao, why are you here now?"
Tang Hao shook his head, "Three seniors, I sincerely apologize for what happened in the past. Please let Tang San speak. Perhaps he can make things right."
Yang Wudi and Old Man Niu Gao exchanged glances, both of them nodding slightly, "Our Breaking Clan is doing well now and doesn't need any compensation. I fear your father and son may bring us more trouble."
"Our Defense Clan feels the same. We no longer wish to have any dealings with you two."
But after their words, Bai He did not speak.
Old Man Niu Gao looked at Bai He in disbelief, "Old White Bird, have you been bought off by these two father and son? Have you forgotten the suffering of our four clans?"
Bai He pondered for a moment before speaking, "I just want to restore the glory of the Speed Clan. We no longer wish to live like this."
Old Man Niu Gao was at a loss for words, "Old White Bird, you are Tang Hao's brother-in-law, so you would say this. But I must be responsible for my family. If you are determined to follow Tang Hao, then we have nothing more to say."
Bai He seemed hesitant, unable to face Old Man Niu Gao and Yang Wudi. He remained silent, but his silence was clearly an expression of his stance.
The room fell into silence, and after a long pause, Yang Wudi picked up his wine glass and spoke, "Old Gorilla, Old White Bird, I never expected that after so many years of friendship, it would all come down to one word from Tang Hao."
"After drinking this wine, from now on, our Breaking Clan and Defense Clan will have no further dealings with the single-attribute clans."
Old Man Niu Gao also reluctantly raised his glass.
Tai Tan seemed resolute as he picked up a glass as well.
Bai He showed a hint of pain and hesitation on his face but ultimately picked up his glass.
Yang Wudi drank his wine in one gulp and slammed the glass down, "Old Rhinoceros, we are leaving."
Old Man Niu Gao also drank his wine in one gulp and threw his glass aside.
Tai Tan and Bai He exchanged a glance and drank their final cup of farewell wine.
After finishing their drinks, Yang Wudi and Old Man Niu Gao led their clans out of the Speed Clan's stronghold without looking back, their faces filled with resolve.
Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei seemed somewhat reluctant, but they eventually spoke, "Big Brother, we are truly sorry. We won't be joining the second team from now on."
Yang Podi glanced at Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei, raising his glass, "From now on, we have no further dealings."
With that, Yang Podi finished his drink, followed by Yang Pingan and the others, all of them finishing their drinks.
After the final toast, it marked the end of their time in the second team. From now on, all of them would be strangers.
After drinking, Old Man Niu Gao and Yang Wudi led their clans away from the Speed Clan's stronghold.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao and Tang San remained silent, one full of guilt, the other too weak to do anything. Moreover, Tang Hao was wounded, and if things escalated, it was likely Tang San wouldn't escape unharmed.
Thus, the four single-attribute clans officially split. From now on, only the Defense Clan and Breaking Clan would support each other.
However, Yang Podi breathed a sigh of relief. At least there would be no more traitors in the team. Whether in training or other matters, it would be much more convenient, no longer needing to worry about information leaks.
Back at the Breaking Clan's stronghold, the elders from both clans brought Yang Podi to a secret room.
The people in the secret room included Old Man Niu Gao, Uncle Niu Mang, Yang Wudi, Yang Zhendian, and Niu Jinfeng.
Uncle Niu Mang looked puzzled at Yang Podi, "Podi, what should we do now? The four clans are fully split now, and they might take action."
It was clear that both Old Man Niu Gao and Yang Wudi were in a bad mood. Tai Tan and Bai He had been like brothers to them, offering much help. Especially Bai He, who had received substantial assistance from both clans. It was hard to believe that, for the sake of a thirteen-year-old child, they would sever ties with their past grudges and turn on each other.
Yang Podi shook his head, "There's no need to worry about them. For now, Tang Hao doesn't dare show his face, and the Clear Sky Sect isn't ready to take action. I estimate they will only form a new sect, using the two clans as their base and gradually growing."
"The Strength Clan has always treated Tang Hao as their master. This mentality has been ingrained for decades, and it's impossible to change."
"The Speed Clan is an in-law of the Clear Sky Sect. In the past, they were the most glorious of the four clans, but now their situation is much worse, so they naturally want to restore their former glory."
"But in the current soul master world, anyone who sticks their head out will be killed. We just need to stay low and watch as things unfold. When the world descends into chaos, that will be our chance."
Uncle Niu Mang was still a bit confused, "Podi, how can you be so sure there will be chaos?"
"Uncle, you should remember the chaos of the soul master world from back then. The world was filled with strife and slaughter. Right now, the soul master world is too peaceful, and that's just the calm before the storm."
"I've already contacted Prince Xue Qinghe. After the Soul Master Tournament, Armo Mountain will become my fief, and we will move the entire clan there to wait for the changes in the world."
This was the first time everyone heard about Armo Mountain, and they all looked at Yang Podi curiously, eager to hear his plans.
