"I didn't expect I'd still underestimated the effects of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng."
"Now, I'm even more confident about hunting down Tang San!"
The three of them opened their eyes almost at the same time. Among them, Bai He murmured quietly.
If not for Bai Chenxiang slowing him down, with his speed, even if he wasn't skilled at offense, killing Tang San would be easy.
Of course, it was still best to team up with people from the Thunder God Hall—it would be safer that way.
"I'll make a trip to Heaven Dou City. You two, make sure to take good care of Xiangxiang."
Bai He spoke gravely.
He was the fastest, so searching for people naturally fell to him. That's how it had always been, and how it would always be.
As for why Heaven Dou City—because Thunder God Hall's headquarters was on a mountain near the city. They said the Thunder God King made his breakthrough in Heaven Dou City, and building the Thunder God Hall nearby was meant to honor the birth of this great god.
"Don't worry!"
Niu Gao patted the armor on his chest. "As long as us old guys are still around, nothing will happen to Xiangxiang!"
"Alright, I'm off!"
Without further delay, Bai He activated his martial soul. The first, second, third, and fourth soul rings all lit up almost at once.
Their only function: speed, speed, and more speed!
With that, who among soul masters of the same level could match the agility clan's speed?
Bai He's figure turned into a streak of light, vanishing quickly from sight.
The agility clan was unmatched in delivering messages—this was their pride and their tradition.
"I really envy you two old guys. Rank 90+ soul power… it almost makes my eyes go red!"
After a while, Niu Gao sighed softly.
Tai Tan, Yang Wudi: "…"
They wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.
Blame Niu Gao's defense for being too strong?
If not for Niu Gao's sturdy defense, they all might have fallen this time!
"Old Rhino, if it weren't for your defenses, we really wouldn't have made it."
"By the way… why don't the four clans merge? Supporting each other, with all our strength combined—even if we don't make a great name for ourselves, we'll be much better off than going alone!"
At this moment, Tai Tan proposed the idea. Actually, everyone had already been considering a merger.
Due to their single-attribute nature, their weaknesses were obvious—only the Breaking Clan was a bit better off.
"I've got no objection. Old Goat, what about you?"
Niu Gao agreed instantly, then turned to Yang Wudi.
Back when the four single-attribute clans followed the Clear Sky Sect, their cooperation made them a formidable force.
Hearing this, Yang Wudi fell into thought.
The Breaking Clan's only real problem was its small numbers. Otherwise, there weren't any major issues.
Still, he was tempted by Tai Tan's proposal.
Alone, their strength was limited.
Together, working as a team, they could really maximize their strengths.
Besides, they were all old friends…
"I have no objection either."
After a moment, Yang Wudi nodded.
As for Bai He, he'd never object—reuniting the four clans would benefit the agility clan the most.
Of course, Bai He didn't know about this yet.
"We'll talk to Old White Bird when he gets back."
"When the time comes, we'll discuss where to settle."
"What's there to discuss? Just pick outside Heaven Dou City and be neighbors with Thunder God Hall!"
Tai Tan didn't even hesitate before speaking up in response to Yang Wudi.
With Thunder God Hall in Heaven Dou City, it was practically a place where no one dared steal, and people could sleep with their doors unlocked at night.
If not for the fact that Thunder God Hall only accepted those with the God's Eye, he'd have considered joining them himself.
"0.0"
"Great idea!"
"Tai Tan, you're the man!"
Niu Gao and Yang Wudi were stunned for a moment, but then gave Tai Tan a thumbs up.
As long as they didn't cause trouble and focused on peaceful development, being neighbors with Thunder God Hall would be the safest option imaginable!
After all, not only did every member there have the God's Eye, but there were as many as seven or eight saints among them!
That meant seven or eight Title Douluo—each with a God's Eye. Who knew how strong they really were?
No one wanted to find out.
"Speaking of which, there's a child in my clan who awakened a God's Eye. But his God's Eye is different from Thunder God Hall's—it's blue-green and wind-attributed."
"I was worried he'd be seen as a heretic by Thunder God Hall, so I had him hide it."
Yang Wudi frowned, a little embarrassed.
Who knew why the child awakened a blue-green God's Eye instead of purple? And his attribute was wind, not lightning!
If Thunder God Hall found out, would they consider him a heretic?
"All God's Eyes are gifts from my God. No matter the color, they are blessings. Please do not make wild assumptions."
"???"
Niu Gao, Tai Tan, and Yang Wudi all jolted in surprise, instinctively looking toward the door.
They had only mentioned Thunder God Hall, and someone showed up already? That fast?
Wasn't Bai He just on his way to Heaven Dou City?
The man before them wore a purple robe, with streaks of lightning embroidered across it. His expression was resolute, and his eyes shone with a divine light.
"As long as no evil is done, even so-called heretics will not be targeted by us."
"My God is merciful. His grace shines across all of Douluo Continent, granting hope and endless possibilities to those who have beautiful wishes in their hearts."
"My God is…"
Half an hour later, the saint finally finished his speech. Niu Gao, Tai Tan, and Yang Wudi stared at each other, nearly ready to lead their clans to sweep away all the darkness in Douluo!
This saint—he truly was devout!
He spent half an hour praising his God, never repeating himself once!
"Your Excellency, Saint…"
"Please call me Saint Asberdin. We are equals—don't let the gap in our strength make you feel awe or fear."
"As long as you behave, and don't act recklessly, we will always be on equal terms."
"???"
The logic was sound, but that last line was kind of brutal!
They knew they weren't a match for this saint, but his blunt honesty still stung a bit…
"Saint Asberdin, you are…"
"I followed the scent of evil here and happened to overhear your conversation."
"So that's it."
The three suddenly understood. This Saint Asberdin must have sensed Tang San's presence and come because of that…
