Half a month later.
The three single-attribute Clans all slowly relocated to Spirit City.
Even every Sect of the four lower Sects, following Xiao Ze's idea, came to Spirit City to establish a Sect hall.
As long as someone wanted to join a Sect, they could come to Spirit City to do so.
This also meant they didn't need to find their Sects, as some Sects were located in truly secluded and dangerous places.
After all, they had to consider the possibility of being attacked.
Especially the Black Tiger Sect; their Sect was actually on the back of a mountain in a swamp.
Xiao Ze went there once and vowed never to return.
It was truly disgusting, the smell was too pungent.
Xiao Ze genuinely admired Hu Qianxing; he was truly a talent, and it would be problematic if he didn't succeed.
Spirit Hall's actions were quite significant, and all forces received some information.
But they couldn't do anything; even though they knew Spirit Hall had issues, what could they do? Were they going to declare war on Spirit Hall?
The Douluo Continent was exceptionally calm now, but it felt more like the calm before a storm.
Neither the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Clear Sky Sect, nor any other forces had actively provoked them.
Except for the Strength Clan.
In Spirit City, on the main street.
"Father, this is Spirit City; we can't cause trouble here," Tai Nuo advised, looking at his father, who was fuming and seemed intent on courting disaster.
"Don't mind me, I have something to discuss with those three. This is between us; does Spirit Hall even meddle in such matters?" Tai Tan roared.
"But the Breaking Clan are now Spirit Hall's people." Although Tai Nuo didn't know why they joined Spirit Hall, their relationship had already soured when his father invited the three to return under Tang Hao's banner.
If they caused trouble again today, they might not be able to return home.
"Nonsense! They live as the Master's people, and die as the Master's ghosts!" Tai Tan displayed the demeanor of a sycophant to the fullest, practically writing 'I am Tang Hao's dog' on his face.
Tai Nuo was speechless. He wasn't born yesterday; he knew very well that the Strength Clan was, in Tang Hao's eyes, an expendable existence.
When there was a fight, he might remember them, but when there were resources?
He wouldn't pay them any mind.
Despite all this, his father still acted like a dog.
He truly couldn't understand it. Moreover, Tang Hao was already dead, yet his father still insisted on pledging allegiance to Tang Hao's son. What kind of logic was this?
Not only did he want to be a sycophant himself, but he also wanted an entire clan, along with his son and grandson, to continue down this path... Tai Nuo simply couldn't accept it.
Previously, he had to agree due to Tai Tan's authority.
But from what he had seen recently, Tang San was nowhere near as powerful as Tang Hao was back then, and his whereabouts were currently unknown.
Their Strength Clan's future was bleak.
Sometimes, Tai Nuo genuinely wanted to seize the position of Clan Head, but unfortunately, he couldn't beat his father.
Tai Tan stormed to the entrance of the Defense Clan's courtyard and walked straight in, but he was stopped by two guards.
Tai Tan angrily said, "Don't you know who I am?"
"We do."
"Then you still dare to stop me!" Tai Tan grew even angrier. Did he, the Clan Head of the Strength Clan, have no face?
However, the two guards ignored him and simply said, "This is the Defense Clan, not your Strength Clan."
He was furious and charged straight ahead, lifting the two Defense Clan guards like chickens and suspending them in mid-air.
"You blind dogs!" Tai Tan's roar made the gate tremble. "When I was playing with your Clan Head, you were still playing in the mud."
Tai Tan threw the two men to the ground, and the granite floor tiles cracked into a spiderweb pattern.
He kicked the large gate, and the ironwood door groaned under the strain before shattering. "Old rhinoceros, get out here for your Tai Tan Grandpa!"
Seeing this, Tai Nuo knew it was over. He quickly helped the two guards up and stuffed gold coins into their hands. "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"
Tai Tan strode in, stepping over the shattered door panels.
Niu Gao was unhurriedly feeding crickets, not even raising his head as he sneered, "The Strength Clan people are still as impolite as ever, breaking down the door as soon as they arrive at someone's house."
"Don't say so much, I'll pay for the door. Old rhinoceros, you actually joined Spirit Hall, what are you thinking! Our past lives were all thanks to Spirit Hall, have you forgotten!" Tai Tan roared.
Niu Gao knew Tai Tan, with his awful temper, would definitely come to Spirit City, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant. It seemed he still didn't truly know him.
"Oh."
"Oh?!" Tai Tan was infuriated by Niu Gao's attitude. "Don't you have anything to say?"
"So what? Don't treat us like fools, okay? What kind of existence is Spirit Hall? On the Douluo Continent, it's a unique Spirit Master force. If they wanted to deal with us, they'd just kill us. Do you really think we're some easy target?"
Niu Gao said, putting down the cricket snacks in his hand, "And back then, if it weren't for Tang Hao's stubbornness, would we have been abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect? You still have the nerve to blame Spirit Hall!"
"You... you're unreasonable!" Tai Tan was the worst debater among the four Clan Heads.
"Heh." Niu Gao sneered, "Your Strength Clan has nothing to do with us anymore. You're willing to be his sycophant, but we're not anymore."
"Presumptuous! Niu Gao, don't say it so harshly. Without the Master back then, we wouldn't be where we are today!" Tai Tan was seething with rage, clenching his fists, wishing he could go up and beat Niu Gao.
"Heh... We already repaid our debt to Tang Hao. So don't use that to blackmail us. Tang Hao is already dead, and we have no relationship with him."
"Niu Gao!! The Master's child is still alive! You can't be like this!" Tai Tan was furious. He hadn't expected how much time had passed, and Niu Gao's thoughts were becoming increasingly dangerous.
"So what? I've said it, we're not willing to be dogs anymore!"
"Exactly!" Yang Wudi and Bai He also slowly entered through the door.
"You..." Tai Tan, seeing Yang Wudi and Bai He, also became furious. "You're doing this on purpose, you just want to join Spirit Hall, you're all traitors, sycophants!!!"
Bai He was so angered by Tai Tan's words that he laughed. "Sycophants? Who can be a better sycophant than you?
Tang Hao died, and you immediately pledged allegiance to Tang San as your young master, it's simply ridiculous. How much spirit power does he even have? Has he been recognized by the Clear Sky Sect? He's probably not even alive anymore, is he?!"
Tai Tan was completely dumbfounded by Bai He's questions.
Tai Nuo really wanted to nod, but he decided against it out of fear.
