Yu Xiaogang and Tang Xiao's Intentions
Yang Xiong spoke with a half-smile, "If Mr. Yu Xiaogang has any objections, at worst we can give up Thunder Valley. I just don't know if you have the guts and ability to rebuild here?"
Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong's expressions turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.
Back then, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was annihilated by Spirit Hall. The entire family's internal resources were plundered, and even all the buildings were destroyed. It was the Heaven Dou Empire that sent troops to help bury the bodies.
To truly rebuild the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, it would require not only a massive amount of funds but also a large number of high-level Soul Masters to hold the fort. At least Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong did not possess such strength.
Yang Xiong continued, "Oh, and the matter of our Body Sect occupying Thunder Valley has already received the support of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. The area within several hundred miles of the Body Sect is now my territory. If you have any objections, you can report them to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong didn't know what to say upon hearing this. Now that Yang Xiong was establishing the Body Sect, he not only had the financial resources and strength but also the recognition of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Furthermore, he had the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind him. They were simply no match for him.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to think of something. "Yang Xiong, have you been coveting Thunder Valley for a long time? Did you even guess that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would be attacked by Spirit Hall? Otherwise, your Body Sect has been established for so many years, yet it's only now truly appearing in the Soul Master world."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. When I established the Body Sect, it was just to ensure the safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and to form an Offensive and Defensive Alliance with them. Who would have thought that Spirit Hall would be so ruthless?"
Both Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were lost in thought, seemingly unable to bear the pain of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's demise.
Back then, Spirit Hall attacked both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family simultaneously. In particular, there were more personnel and Titled Douluo attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, relying on its strong foundation, hidden strength, and advance warning, instead severely wounded the invading enemies from Spirit Hall, ensuring the safety of their Sect.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was relatively tragic. The entire Sect was basically completely wiped out. Their former foundation, glory, strength, and financial resources all turned to dust.
Yu Xiaogang had clearly felt recently that without the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and without his father, Yu Yuanzhen, his progress in the Soul Master world seemed to have become even more difficult. No one even gave him face anymore.
One must know that although Yu Xiaogang had traveled for most of his life, he had only suffered some verbal attacks. No one had ever dared to target him, and everyone who saw him had to respectfully address him as Master.
But now, let alone the great families in the Soul Master world, even a junior like Yang Xiong didn't show him much respect.
Yang Xiong continued, "I know you two were born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and are reluctant to part with your Sect. However, the Soul Master world is constantly developing and moving forward. Since Thunder Valley has become ownerless land, you cannot blame our Body Sect for occupying it."
"Of course, I also greatly admire the former Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. We have preserved the graves of the original Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. That area is now separately enclosed, and we have named it the Dragon Tomb. It can be considered a testament to the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. You two are welcome to come and pay your respects at any time."
Yang Xiong's words were very clear at this point. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was gone, and Thunder Valley would only be the Body Sect's base, belonging only to the Body Sect.
Tang Xiao, who was standing by, finally spoke. "Yang Xiong, I didn't expect such a big change in your identity in such a short time. You've gone from a core disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to the Sect Leader of such a large Body Sect so quickly. It's truly impressive."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Sect Leader Tang Xiao is too kind. Our Body Sect is just a small family. We wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of your Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Xiao shook his head. "I also admire the strength of your Body Sect. However, I have something I'd like to discuss with your Elders. I hope you can be accommodating."
Yang Xiong nodded. "Naturally. The Body Sect is everyone's Sect and needs to be built by everyone together. I can't restrict anyone's freedom."
Tang Xiao turned to look at Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He, his face filled with bitterness.
"Three Elders, I hope you've been well. I didn't expect us to meet under these circumstances."
Yang Wudi directly roared, "Tang Xiao, stop being so hypocritical. Since the Clear Sky Sect abandoned us Three Single Attribute Families back then, there's nothing more to say between us. We don't want to have any more connection with the Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Xiao bowed slightly. "What happened back then was the Clear Sky Sect's fault. We had already sent people to inform you, but unfortunately, those people were killed by Spirit Hall, and the message didn't reach you, which led to the tragedy of that year."
Yang Wudi and the other two looked at each other upon hearing this, not knowing what to say. After all, the three of them had always hated the Clear Sky Sect, mainly for abandoning the Single Attribute Families.
Now it seemed that even the Clear Sky Sect was forced and had taken precautions, but everything was missed.
Yang Xiong also marveled at Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao was a level ninety-seven Titled Douluo, a rare expert in the world, yet he disregarded his status and apologized to Yang Wudi and the other two. This mindset and ability to handle affairs were truly admirable.
Yang Wudi sighed. "We have nothing more to say about what happened back then. Even if your Clear Sky Sect sent people to inform us, they were too late and couldn't cover up the fact that your Clear Sky Sect abandoned our families."
"Besides, you had so many chances to rescue us back then, but neither you nor Tang Yuehua seemed to care about our losses, about the lives of those hundreds of people."
Tang Xiao nodded, "What happened back then was undoubtedly the Clear Sky Sect's fault. We, the Clear Sky Sect, only cared about our own survival and neglected your safety. That's why I've always wanted to make it up to you all these years, but unfortunately, I never found the opportunity. I also didn't dare to leave the Clear Sky Sect's ancestral land casually, much less contact you, for fear that you would be targeted by the Spirit Hall again."
Yang Wudi shook his head, "Let's not talk about the past anymore. We are living well now and don't need you to do anything else."
Tang Xiao quickly said, "Elder Yang, Elder Niu, Uncle, the Clear Sky Sect is willing to fully compensate you. I hope you will give me a chance, and I hope you will give the Clear Sky Sect a chance."
Yang Wudi and the other two looked at each other upon hearing this, unsure how to respond to Tang Xiao. Especially since Tang Xiao had a close relationship with the three of them, they had watched him grow up, and he was even their spiritual support at one point.
Yang Xiong looked at Tang Xiao's appearance and increasingly felt that Tang Xiao was not simple.
Compared to Tang Hao's recklessness, Tang Xiao was more like a wise man who appeared foolish, and he seemed more unrestrained and heroic, almost flawless.
Finally, Yang Wudi spoke helplessly, "Tang Xiao, there are various entanglements between us and the Clear Sky Sect. There is not only kindness but also hatred. If it weren't for the Clear Sky Sect, our families wouldn't have developed, but similarly, if it weren't for the Clear Sky Sect, we wouldn't have suffered the disaster back then."
"All of this can no longer be clearly calculated. Let's just assume that we will no longer interact in the future, and the grievances between us will be cleared."
Only then did Tang Xiao nod, "Three Elders, in the future, no matter what you need, I, Tang, will do my best and will never refuse."
Bai He then spoke, "Xiao'er, there's no need for us to say so much. I just hope that there will be no more entanglements between us in the future, and we don't want to have any connection with the Clear Sky Sect."
...
After some communication between the four, Tang Xiao then looked at Yang Xiong.
"Sect Leader Yang, the main reason I came this time is about the alliance between our two sides. The Spirit Hall is powerful now, basically suppressing the entire Soul Master world."
"Your Body Sect and the Spirit Hall can be said to have various hatreds, not only because you came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but also because many people in your Body Sect have various hatreds with the Spirit Hall."
"Your current strength is no weaker than the former Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and you can definitely be called one of the Upper Three Sects. Our Upper Three Sects still need to form an alliance to jointly resist the Spirit Hall."
At this moment, Yang Xiong truly began to understand how formidable Tang Xiao was. This Tang Xiao not only had astonishing cultivation talent, reaching the extremely terrifying level 97 soul power.
Moreover, in his every word and action, he seemed to have grasped the general trend, and even the hearts of people. If he refused rashly, it might easily lead to unknown trouble.
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking, "Since Sect Leader Tang said so, there is no problem with the alliance between the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Body Sect."
"However, you also know the current situation of our Body Sect. Not only is the entire sect newly established, but it probably won't be able to form real combat power in the short term."
"Of course, if the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are attacked, my Body Sect will also do its best to rescue them and will definitely not back down at the critical moment."
Before Tang Xiao could say anything else, Yang Xiong quickly spoke.
"It's rare for Sect Leader Tang to visit Thunder Valley. Senior Yu Yuanzhen is also someone we all respect, and he was besieged and killed by the Spirit Hall. Why don't we jointly pay respects to Senior Yu Yuanzhen to show our sincerity?"
Only then did Tang Xiao nod, "Back then, the Upper Three Sects were closely connected, and Senior Yu Yuanzhen also helped our Clear Sky Sect many times. This time, I did want to pay respects when I came to Thunder Valley."
...
Next, Yang Xiong, as the master of Thunder Valley, led Tang Xiao, Yu Xiaogang, and others to jointly pay respects to Yu Yuanzhen.
Tang Xiao tried several times to communicate the specific details of the alliance between the two sides, but Yang Xiong used various excuses to decline, especially when others were also present, making it difficult for him to say anything more.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang also wanted to unite the three major sects to jointly resist the Spirit Hall, but Yang Xiong delayed him by saying that the sect was under construction and currently busy internally.
After the three left, the people of the Body Sect seemed unusually serious.
Yang Wudi seemed a little hesitant to speak, "Sect Leader, the Spirit Hall is our common mortal enemy. This alliance seems to be beneficial to us without any harm. Is the Sect Leader deliberately beating around the bush because the Sect Leader has some scruples?"
Yang Xiong shook his head, "Forming an alliance is fine, but I don't want to reveal myself so quickly yet. Spirit Hall's foundation is beyond all of our imaginations."
"Moreover, compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect, our strength is still too weak, and we don't have true top experts. If Spirit Hall wants to make an example of us, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble."
"Besides, the sect has just been established, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. I think our focus should still be on self-improvement. The time left for us is already very short."
Everyone instantly understood Yang Xiong's meaning. Currently, Yang Xiong was only at the Soul Saint level, still a certain distance away from being a true top expert. All that was lacking was time.
And in terms of both foundation and strength, the Body Sect was still too weak. It was possible that it could truly be annihilated.
