Chapter 197 Annihilation! All Annihilated!
After defeating Hu Yanzhen, the entire Elephant Armor Sect came under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall.
Jiang Nian stayed here for a few days, preparing to assign them a mission.
The Heaven Dou Empire also had three sects with Soul Douluo as their leaders: the Holy Dragon Sect, the Rock Antelope Sect, and the Sparrow Bee Sect.
Jiang Nian went to the strongest sect, the Holy Dragon Sect, to invite them, while Hu Yanzhen went to the other two sects with his token and the Pope's decree.
Time passed.
Winter arrived again.
Jiang Nian was accompanied by dozens of Soul Emperor-level experts. Led by Hu Yanzhen, the other three sect leaders were all Soul Douluo.
The rest were Soul Masters at the elder level from various sects.
"Have you all remembered what I said?" Jiang Nian glanced back at them, his voice calm.
"Your Highness, we have all remembered!"
"Hmm..." Jiang Nian nodded slightly, looking at the dark sky, as if rain was imminent.
Soon, a thunderclap boomed.
A torrential downpour began.
"Go there, exterminate the entire clan!"
"Yes!"
Hu Yanzhen and the other three Soul Douluo sect leaders exchanged glances, their expressions serious and resolute.
Having boarded the pirate ship, they were determined to go all the way.
Their first target was the Min clan.
After all, that old man Bai He possessed a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
Born at the eighth grade, it could evolve into a ninth-grade ginseng king in ten thousand years, possessing the medicinal properties of a hundred thousand years, comparable to immortal herbs. It could also complement the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
Jiang Nian wouldn't let this go.
Furthermore, the Min clan had kinship ties with the Haotian Sect, so there was no need to recruit them; they could simply storm in.
Thunder and rain raged, with occasional clap of thunder echoing in the sky, creating a very oppressive atmosphere for the three in the hall.
"My heart is growing increasingly anxious... I feel like something big is about to happen."
"Hey, don't overthink it. Old Ape's been dead for so long, and we're still fine, aren't we?"
"The Spirit Hall's been making some big moves lately, I'm worried they'll turn on us sooner or later..."
Bai He sighed as he sat there.
They hadn't recovered from that battle, and with the annihilation of the Power Clan, he always felt like a sword was hanging over his head.
"Stop thinking about it, let's just eat and drink."
"Hmph! If it weren't for that guy Tang Hao getting involved with a spirit beast, would our four families be in this mess?" Niu Gao slammed his hand on the table in anger, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
The other two exchanged a glance and began to soothe him.
"See, you're getting anxious again." Bai He poured wine into his bowl and said calmly, "What's done is done, there's nothing we can do to change it."
"We can only think of ways to break this deadlock."
Niu Gao snorted coldly, his resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect growing stronger.
Since becoming a subordinate family, the Yu Clan had never been treated with respect, completely treated like servants.
Only Bai He fared slightly better, given his kinship ties.
The other three?
To put it bluntly, they were treated like dogs!
Back then, Tang Hao's actions caused immense damage to their four affiliated families, not only resulting in heavy losses but also leading to their abandonment by the Haotian Sect.
Where could they possibly seek justice?
Niu Gao, frustrated, drank his wine, looking at the stormy weather outside, feeling increasingly irritated.
Bang!
A loud explosion rang out, and the three immediately stood up and looked outside.
The main hall door was blown open, and a young man holding an umbrella walked in, each step exuding immense pressure, his gaze as if looking at them as if they were ants.
Bai He's pupils constricted, staring blankly at the group approaching them.
"What are you doing! Who are you?!"
Niu Gao smashed the bowl in his hand, his eyes wide and face flushed.
Yang Wudi seemed to recognize the young man in front of him and quickly activated his martial spirit, assuming a fighting stance.
"You are? Jiang Nian?!" Bai He couldn't help but take a step back, wanting to escape, but he was already surrounded.
"That's right. I was going to deal with you first, but since all three of you are here, let's do it together, save time."
Hu Yanzhen and the others activated their martial spirits simultaneously and attacked Bai He and the other two.
"Damn it! You little beast! Did you kill Titan?!" Niu Gao's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.
He roared as if he wanted to tear him apart.
Jiang Nian didn't bother to look at the three of them, turned his back, walked out of the hall, and looked up at the rainy night.
The sounds of fighting came from all around. It was supposed to be sleeping time.
After tonight, he probably wouldn't wake up again.
A few minutes later, the fighting in the hall stopped.
Hu Yanzhen ran out carrying a medicinal herb, a hint of excitement on his face.
"Holy Son, look at this medicinal herb."
Jiang Nian reached out and took it; it was the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from the white crane.
If it were nurtured in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a period of time, it might soon reach the ninth rank.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Nian put it into his storage soul tool and led them away to the remaining two single-attribute families.
In the rainy night, Zhu Zhuqing watched Jiang Nian's retreating figure and suddenly realized that this seemingly kind older brother was actually more ruthless than anyone else.
He wiped out three families without even blinking an eye.
The next day.
The entire Heaven Dou City was shaken.
Looking at the shattered buildings, many onlookers fell silent.
Jiang Nian, who had done all this, was still eating breakfast in Heaven Dou City, listening to the boastful chatter around him.
"I heard the Spirit Hall is training its army, I wonder if it's true..."
"Hiss~ Is the Spirit Hall going to war too?"
"No way, if that's true, wouldn't that be challenging the prestige of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire?"
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Nian left with the two women. He planned to go to Sunset Forest to jump into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to find the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul bone. He also wanted to find some immortal herbs for Zhu Zhuqing.
Half an hour later.
The three entered Sunset Forest, and a wooden house came into view.
In the courtyard, a graceful young woman stood with her hands on her hips, chattering away.
"Grandpa, are we really going to live in seclusion?" Dugu Yan pouted, looking at the mountains and rivers outside, and suddenly felt a little crazy.
She was only a teenager, and she was going to live the life of an old person?
She wouldn't accept it!!!
"Yan'er, the situation on the continent is chaotic right now. Let's wait until things settle down before taking you out."
"Otherwise, it will bring trouble upon ourselves."
Dugu Bo helplessly stroked his chin, a trace of worry flashing across his face.
"Tch! Grandpa, you might as well join the Spirit Hall. At least the Holy Son is kind and generous; he'll definitely treat you well."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking," Dugu Bo said irritably, tapping her head.
Dugu Yan stuck out her little pink tongue, gave a soft snort, and hugged his arm.
"Oh, Grandpa~ Isn't it too early for me to go into seclusion at such a young age?"
"You wouldn't want to see your granddaughter unhappy, would you?"
