Not long after.
Tuoba Xi and the other five walked on the main road of Spirit City.
"Tuoba Xi, Hu Yan Zhen, you two really lack martial ethics. You want to surrender without telling us!" Hu Qianxing said, annoyed.
"Exactly! The Supreme Pontiff's aura just now scared me to death. I felt like if I didn't kneel, I would die!" Feng Bailong, the Sect Master of the Wind Sword Sect, said.
Huo Yanbao, the Sect Master of the Fire Leopard Sect, frowned and looked at Tuoba Xi and Hu Yan Zhen: "I always feel like you two are moles. Were you already part of Spirit Hall before?"
The Upper Three Sects were once united.
And the Lower Four Sects also banded together for warmth, and of course, there was the Sacred Dragon Sect.
The Sacred Dragon Sect's strength was no less than any of the Lower Four Sects. They didn't become one of the Lower Four Sects simply because they didn't participate in the selection back then.
Otherwise, it would be the Lower Five Sects now.
Hu Yan Zhen heard this, exchanged glances with Tuoba Xi, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Damn it!" Huo Yanbao directly put his arm around Hu Yan Zhen's neck. "I knew it! You two seemed to have agreed beforehand and just accepted it. So, all this time, you were moles!!!"
Feng Bailong and Hu Qianxing were also stunned, feeling they had been tricked.
"Alright, we did it for your own good," Tuoba Xi said.
"Exactly, how great is it for you to join Spirit Hall? You don't have to live in fear, and you have someone watching over you," Hu Yan Zhen nodded.
"Sigh… that's true, but the continent is becoming more and more unstable now. If a war breaks out, we'll all be cannon fodder," Hu Qianxing sighed softly.
Tuoba Xi shook his head: "Don't worry, the Supreme Pontiff has already told us. War will definitely break out, but it won't be now. And even if it does, you will all become Titled Douluo!"
Hearing this, Feng Bailong and the other two widened their eyes.
They had revealed their hand.
"Is that true or false?" Hu Qianxing asked softly, looking around.
"What are you talking about?"
"Of course, Titled Douluo! If I can become a Titled Douluo, then let the war begin!" Hu Qianxing's talent was not low; he was currently an eighty-four or eighty-five-level Spirit Douluo.
He might become a Titled Douluo in the future, but it would take a very long time.
Who wouldn't want to become a Titled Douluo quickly now?
Feng Bailong and Huo Yanbao had the same idea.
"Of course, the crops the Supreme Pontiff gave you, we have eaten them. They are effective even at our level, and while not as impactful as for lower-level Spirit Masters, the effect is still quite noticeable.
At our age and spirit power level, we might not even gain 1 level in a year, but with these crops, we're guaranteed 1 level annually," Tuoba Xi said.
"Really?!" Hu Qianxing's loud voice startled Tuoba Xi.
"Damn it! Keep it down!"
"Yes, yes, yes, big brother, I'll be quieter."
Tuoba Xi looked at Hu Qianxing's fawning manner, feeling a bit speechless.
They had known each other for so many years, and he was still so interesting.
He could bend and stretch.
"Whether it's true or not, you can go back and try it. We've known each other for so many years, we wouldn't lie to you about something like this."
"As for the war, I can tell you very clearly that being cannon fodder is impossible, because…"
"Because what?" Feng Bailong asked.
Tuoba Xi didn't speak and just walked away.
"Damn it! So cheap!" Huo Yanbao said.
"Indeed, still the same as before."
"But now we can be much more at ease."
"That's right. If these crops are really as Tuoba Xi says, then it means Spirit Hall really doesn't plan to use us as cannon fodder, otherwise, they wouldn't have enough of such precious things for themselves."
"Let's go, go back and have a good meal."
…
A few days later.
A tall, slender man slowly arrived at the entrance of the Defense Clan.
He had long hair, but it was already white.
Beside him was another tall, slender old man.
His build was somewhat similar to Bai He's, but he was a head taller, with a ruddy complexion and gloomy eyes.
"Old goat, I didn't expect you to come too?" Bai He said.
"If you can come, why can't I?"
Bai He was used to Yang Wudi's tone: "What do you think Old Rhino called us here for?"
"Who knows, we'll find out when we go in."
"True."
"Xiangxiang greets your Grandpa Old goat."
"Hello, Grandpa Yang," Bai Chenxiang said softly.
Yang Wudi's expression brightened considerably upon seeing Bai Chenxiang.
"Good, good. I really don't know how a man like your father could have given birth to you. He's truly lucky," Yang Wudi said.
"Get lost." Bai He knew exactly what he was talking about—wasn't it just about his own problems?
The three familiar figures walked into the courtyard of the Defense Clan.
"Hahaha, you're here?" Niu Gao, with a ruddy complexion, came before the two, wanting to hug Yang Wudi, but he was rejected.
Niu Gao saw Bai Chenxiang and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lighting up: "Xiangxiang, you're here too? You've come at just the right time. I'll introduce you to a handsome guy later, you'll definitely like him."
"Hey! Why did you call us here?" Bai He stood in front of Bai Chenxiang.
Bai Chenxiang blushed a little. What did he mean, a handsome guy she would like?
She hadn't even interacted with other handsome guys, so she didn't know what kind she liked.
"You'll find out later. I'll introduce someone to you. Be respectful, or your two clans will be in danger," Niu Gao warned.
"What do you mean?" Bai He frowned.
"I know your Speed Clan has been struggling, as your pure agility-type Spirit Masters don't have much combat power. If you seize this opportunity today, you can not only help the Speed Clan rise again but even reach a higher level.
From now on, you, Bai He, will be the clan leader with the greatest Merit for the Speed Clan."
Niu Gao had already eaten the crops and animals Xiao Ze had given him; all of them had special effects, and some identical special effects even worked better when combined.
If he could eat them every day, he wouldn't need long to become a Titled Douluo.
Hearing Niu Gao say this, Bai He and Yang Wudi both became serious.
"Where is he from?" Yang Wudi asked.
Niu Gao pointed in a direction.
Yang Wudi's pupils contracted, and his face became somewhat grim: "Someone from Spirit Hall?"
Niu Gao nodded.
Yang Wudi turned and walked away.
"Hey!" Niu Gao directly stopped Yang Wudi.
"Why are you leaving?!"
"Niu Gao! Don't you know that our current situation is all thanks to Spirit Hall?" Yang Wudi gritted his teeth, wishing he could beat Niu Gao to death. This man… a traitor!
Niu Gao didn't care: "It was clearly Tang Hao; Spirit Hall didn't even care about us."
Yang Wudi didn't refute: "But Spirit Hall didn't hesitate to act either!"
"Clan Leader Yang, you seem very displeased with our Spirit Hall?"
