Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 169 Gathering of the Four Clans, Conflict Erupts

Accompanied by Bai He, Ji Wuming and Yang Wudi entered the Minzhi clan's residence. As the three entered the main hall, all four clans present were now fully assembled.
“Old Goat, I’ve long heard that your Po Clan moved to the Heaven Dou Empire and has received attention from the Heaven Dou Empire’s royal family. You could say that you are the richest and most successful among us brothers.”

Niu Gao walked towards Yang Wudi with a smile. He was genuinely happy for the Po clan. If they hadn't gone to the Heaven Dou Empire, who knows how badly they would have been bullied by the Spirit Hall.
"Old Rhino, we have to thank Ji for his help. Our clan not only got rid of the Spirit Hall's oppression, but even Yang Yong joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and achieved first place in this Soul Master Competition."

However, just as Yang Wudi and Niu Gao were catching up, Titan, who was sitting on the stone bench on the left, was quite unhappy. If it weren't for Ji Wuming leading the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, could a single Soul King have defeated Shrek Academy, which had defeated the Spirit Hall team?
To put it bluntly, it relies heavily on Ji Wuming; the others don't contribute much in team battles.
The champion of this continent-wide advanced elite soul master competition was largely undeserved.

However, since they are one of four clans with a single attribute, and their friendship has lasted for forty or fifty years, Titan wouldn't say anything harsh without careful consideration.
He walked towards Yang Wudi, holding two glasses of wine in his hands.
"Old Rhino, I made some mistakes before, and I apologize to you for that."

"I, Yang Wudi, am truly unworthy to accept the wine offered by you, Titan. From now on, you should just continue to be a lackey of the Tang family!"

Yang Wudi got angry just looking at Titan, and he directly refused the drink Titan offered him.

Upon hearing such disrespectful remarks, Titan was enraged and smashed his wine glass on the ground, making a crisp shattering sound.
"Old Goat, what do you mean by this? Are you never going to let this matter with Tang San go on and on?"

"Hao'er has been expelled from the sect. He is no longer a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. Even his son, Tang San, is no longer a member of the Clear Sky Sect. Am I wrong to accept them? Don't try to pin the blame on Hao'er and Tang San just because of the deaths of your Po clan members in the past."

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao and Bai He both came forward.

"Tang Hao, Tang San, what's going on here? Old gorilla, are you saying that your Power Clan took in those two, father and son?"

Titan looked at the two people in front of him, who were both puzzled and slightly angry, and immediately recounted everything that had happened recently.
Upon hearing this, both Niu Gao and Bai He displayed different expressions.

"Tang San, who made a name for himself in the Soul Master Competition and possesses twin martial souls, is actually Tang Hao's son!"

"What? You actually acknowledge the Tang family? Then how did they abandon us before? Your Po clan just swallowed up the hatred on your own?"

…………

While Bai He was overjoyed, he was also filled with conflicting emotions. On one hand, he wanted to take a good look at his grandson; on the other hand, he cared about the opinions of the other three clans, especially Yang Wudi.
After all, the Po clan has provided a lot of support to the Min clan over the years.

Niu Gao, however, was completely different. After their Yu clan was abandoned by the Haotian Sect...

Unlike the Min clan, which suffered relatively few losses, the Yu clan suffered casualties no less than the Po clan. In particular, his only daughter and son-in-law were both killed while fleeing, and his daughter was already six months pregnant at the time of their escape.
The Yu clan and the Spirit Hall are sworn enemies, and they especially hate the Tang family. Even those with the surname Tang, they feel some aversion towards them.

“Tang San is a twin spirit master, and his second spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world. His future achievements are bound to be extraordinary,” Titan said. However, this didn't completely convince some of the people present, so he continued…
“Most importantly, the young master discussed with me that he wants to establish a Tang Sect based on our four single-attribute clans. This sect will not belong to the Haotian Sect. This is why I truly approve of the young master.”

"Are we, the four clans with a single attribute, destined to remain divided and bullied by other sects forever?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao and Bai He looked at each other, especially Bai He, who was fast but weak in attack. He had once thought that if the four single-attribute clans united, the Elephant Armor Clan, Wind Sword Clan, and the other four clans would be no match for them.

However, the Min clan was the poorest, and Bai He was very concerned about his reputation, so he could only talk about the idea of ​​the four clans joining forces to form a sect, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Titan, that's what I wanted to say too, but I don't want to, and I certainly won't, join the Tang Sect. To put it nicely, the Tang Sect is Tang San's sect; to put it bluntly, it's still related to the Clear Sky Sect, since Tang San himself comes from the lineage of the Clear Sky Sect's sect leader."

"As long as Tang San is here, as long as the Tang family is here, I, Yang Wudi, will never join the Tang Clan. If Old Rhinoceros and Old White Bird, your two clans also have this intention, then our three families can form a sect."

After Yang Wudi finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Wuming, who was standing to his left and behind him.
Unfortunately, the current situation is that the Power Clan wants to recruit, while the Breaking Clan wants to absorb the Defense Clan. Therefore, they can only take the opportunity to express their interest in recruiting the Agility Clan.
If he only mentioned absorbing the Yu clan, it's very likely that both the Yu and Min clans would join the Tang Sect, and then Yang Wudi and Ji Wuming's purpose in coming here would be completely wasted.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between Titan and Yang Wudi, the two clan leaders already realized that this gathering was going to be very difficult and unpleasant.

As the scene fell into a deathly silence, the two clan leaders fell into deep thought.

Just then, Bai Chenxiang returned to the mansion, with Ma Hongjun following closely behind, like a leech that couldn't be shaken off, even the clansmen guarding the gate couldn't stop him.
"Grandpa, I've bought the wine."

As she entered the lobby, she saw two people pacing back and forth in thought, while two others glared angrily at each other. She said, somewhat frightened,

"Grandpa, what's wrong with the other grandpas?"

Upon hearing this, the four snapped out of their thoughts. Niu Gao walked to Yang Wudi's side, while Bai He slowly approached Titan. The four of them laughed and said...

"It's nothing, we were just discussing some things."

At this moment, Ma Hongjun, who was following behind Bai Chenxiang, glanced at Ji Wuming and was shocked to see him. He clenched his fists, revealing a hint of resentment.
"It's that Ji Wuming again. Why does he follow me everywhere I go?"

Ji Wuming also saw Ma Hongjun. Although he was somewhat surprised, it was not unreasonable to meet Ma Hongjun in this city.
