Pfft!
"Ugh…"
Wind BaiLong also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clutching his chest. He looked at the shattered Heart Cleansing Formation and was utterly convinced of his defeat, feeling a deep sense of bitterness: "Our Wind Sword Sect relied on formations to establish ourselves among the Seven Great Sects of the continent."
"But now, our most prized formation has been completely defeated by the Angel Legion…"
"Three formations have passed; we have lost."
"I, Wind BaiLong, on behalf of the Wind Sword Sect, will from this day forward submit to Spirit Hall and obey Hall Master Lin Yu!" At this moment, Wind BaiLong knelt on one knee, surrendering before Lin Yu without another word.
"Sect Master Wind, please rise quickly." Lin Yu stepped forward to help him up, speaking gently: "From now on, your Wind Sword Sect and our Spirit Hall are on the same path. As long as you sincerely assist Spirit Hall in unifying the continent, I, Lin Yu, will not mistreat the Wind Sword Sect."
Seeing that Lin Yu had no airs and communicated with him as an equal,
Wind BaiLong felt Lin Yu's respect for him, which made him even more willing: "Please rest assured, Hall Master Lin Yu, now that my Wind Sword Sect has submitted to Spirit Hall, we will assist with all our might!"
"Good."
Lin Yu nodded silently.
Currently, the Four Lower Sects among the Seven Great Sects had all surrendered, and most of the major Sects and Spirit Master Families within the Star Luo Empire had also been subdued.
The remaining powerful Spirit Master forces in Star Luo were the Four Single Attribute Families: the Breaking Clan, Defense Clan, and Min Clan.
There was also the Strength Clan in Heaven Dou City of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Strength Clan was out of the question; they were in the Heaven Dou Empire's capital, and the Strength Clan was purely Tang Hao's lackey.
However, the Breaking Clan, Defense Clan, and Min Clan still had a chance of being subdued, though the difficulty was higher. If it truly came to it, they would simply have to be eliminated.
Because Lin Yu knew that if these three clans could not be used, they would inevitably become enemies.
So, after resting for two days at the Wind Sword Sect, Lin Yu set off again for the next stop: the location of the Defense Clan.
A few days later, Star Defense City.
"Lin Yu, these Single Attribute Families were once subordinate forces of the Clear Sky Sect, the former leader of the Seven Great Sects. Because the Clear Sky Sect offended Spirit Hall, these Four Single Attribute Families were also targeted by Spirit Hall, and they have no small grievances with Spirit Hall."
"In my opinion, they will certainly not submit to Spirit Hall. Why don't I just poison them all to eliminate future troubles?" Dugu Bo said with a hint of ruthlessness.
Dugu Bo was the typical type who killed without batting an eye. As long as they were enemies, whether good or bad, he would not be soft-hearted when killing them.
"No rush, let's get there first." Lin Yu waved his hand, not immediately adopting the suggestion.
He naturally understood the grievances between the Four Single Attribute Families and Spirit Hall.
The whole thing started with Tang Hao and the Blue Silver GrassAh Yin, a human-beast love affair—no, it should be a human-grass love affair.
Tang Hao, a talented junior of the Clear Sky Sect back then, hailed as one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect, fell in love with a 100,000-year-old transformed Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, thus beginning a human-grass love affair.
But good times didn't last long; Ah Yin's identity as a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast was soon discovered by Spirit Hall.
In this World, it was only natural for Spirit Masters to hunt Spirit Beasts. Spirit Beasts were resources for human Spirit Master cultivation. No Spirit Master would consider humans hunting Spirit Beasts to be a heinous crime.
Even a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast that had transformed and re-cultivated was no exception.
This was the thought of the vast majority of people in this World, the thought of normal people.
If Spirit Hall hadn't targeted Ah Yin, if Ah Yin hadn't been protected by Tang Hao, such a 100,000-year-old transformed Spirit Beast, once discovered, would inevitably attract countless human Spirit Masters in a frenzied pursuit.
It might even cause a bloody storm of Snatch.
And in order to protect Ah Yin, Tang Hao severely injured Qian Xunji, the Supreme Pontiff at the time, during their escape, which ultimately enraged Spirit Hall into attacking the Clear Sky Sect.
This led to the Clear Sky Sect being forced into seclusion, closing their Sect and no longer appearing in the World, acting like cowards.
With the Clear Sky Sect gone, the Four Single Attribute Families, which were subordinate to the Clear Sky Sect, naturally became targets of Spirit Hall's attack and suppression.
However, the Clear Sky Sect directly abandoned the Four Single Attribute Families, disregarding their fate when the Single Attribute Families faced Spirit Hall's suppression.
If Spirit Hall hadn't merely suppressed them slightly, showing mercy and not annihilating them, these Four Single Attribute Families would probably have been exterminated long ago.
Would they still be living openly and well now, without even needing to go into seclusion?
This was basically the grievance between the Four Single Attribute Families and Spirit Hall.
There were grievances, but they hadn't reached the point of being irreconcilable or unresolvable.
Therefore, Lin Yu was willing to give them a chance. If the Single Attribute Families chose to submit, their families could be preserved.
About half an hour later.
Lin Yu led a portion of his forces to the Defense Clan's territory, then entered forcefully.
"This is bad, this is bad, Clan Leader! Spirit Hall's people are here!!"
"Spirit Hall!?"
Niu Gao, the Clan Leader of the Defense Clan, immediately showed strong hostility on his face: "What are they doing here?!"
"Hmph! Our clan does not welcome Spirit Hall's people!"
"Go! Make them leave!"
Niu Gao clenched his fists, rushing out aggressively with the others from his clan.
Soon, both sides met in the large compound of the Defense Clan.
"Oh? You've arrived at just the right time! The people from the Breaking Clan and Min Clan are also here." Lin Yu looked at the group of people before him; there were not only people from the Yu Clan but also from the Breaking Clan and Min Clan.
The three leaders among them were Niu Gao, the Clan Leader of the Yu Clan; Bai He, the Clan Leader of the Min Clan; and Yang Wudi, the Clan Leader of the Breaking Clan.
Besides them, there was also a 9-year-old girl in the group, hiding behind Bai He.
This girl was Bai Chenxiang.
"Well, if these three clans are ungrateful, then we can take them all out in one go." Lin Yu's heart stirred.
The Four Single Attribute Families had very good relations, so they would gather once every few years.
And today happened to be the day for the four clans' gathering, and the Breaking Clan, Defense Clan, and Min Clan were all in the Star Luo Empire, relatively close.
Only the Strength Clan was far away in Heaven Dou City of the Heaven Dou Empire, so the Strength Clan was absent from today's four-clan gathering.
"Our Single Attribute Families do not welcome people from Spirit Hall. Regardless of your purpose here, please leave immediately!!" Niu Gao's aura surged, showing no politeness, intending to drive them away.
"Clan Leader Niu Gao, don't be so quick to issue a notice to leave! Why not hear a few words from me first?" Lin Yu said with an unruffled expression.
"You mere greenhorn, what right do you have to speak here? I told you to leave immediately, didn't you hear me?!" Yang Wudi's aura was even more ferocious, directly unleashing Spirit pressure to suppress Lin Yu.
He looked as if he was ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
"Yang Wudi, do you want your Breaking Clan to be annihilated right here and now?" Lin Yu's expression instantly turned colder, looking down at Yang Wudi.
A terrifying Spirit pressure also instantly surged from his body, immediately dispersing Yang Wudi's.
This scene instantly shocked the people of the three clans.
