The next day.
Yue Guan came again as promised, and without any small talk, he got straight to the point and asked for the crystal blood dragon ginseng.
As expected, Bai He still refused.
"I hope you won't regret your choice."
After uttering his usual harsh words, Yue Guan gave a strange smile and left.
Bai He was slightly unsettled by his threat, but he stubbornly believed he was doing the right thing.
However, not long after, all kinds of bad news started pouring in.
The first to bear the brunt were the tribe members who worked in various express delivery services and other jobs—they were all fired.
No one knew how Yue Guan managed to get these shops to fire so many people at once, but the blow was devastating. You have to understand, the Min Clan was already on shaky ground, and the salaries of the tribe members who could still work were the backbone of the clan's economy.
Now that they were fired, the family wouldn't even have enough to eat next month, let alone afford rice to cook.
Just as Bai He called an emergency meeting with the clan elders to discuss what to do next, more bad news arrived.
Eight descendants of the family, led by Bai Chenxiang, were collectively expelled from the academy.
This was an even more fatal blow. The Min Clan was very poor, and they had finally managed to scrape together enough money to send their children to school—even if it was just an ordinary high-level soul master academy.
Upon hearing the news, Bai He was so angry that he fainted on the spot.
Yue Guan's moves were simple but extremely precise.
With just two sanctions, the Min Clan was placed in an irreparable situation.
In a teahouse not far away.
Yue Guan accompanied Yu Xiaowei and the others in a private room, looking down at the Min Clan's gate.
When they saw the miserable faces of the Min Clan members, Yang Wudi, Tai Tan, and Niu Gao all showed reluctance on their faces.
They glared at Yue Guan with increasing hostility, especially Yang Wudi, who looked like he was about to erupt in anger.
But Yue Guan ignored them and smiled flatteringly at Yu Xiaowei.
"Young Patriarch, are you satisfied with my approach?"
At first, Yue Guan only followed Yu Xiaowei's orders reluctantly for the sake of his own survival.
But ever since Qian Daoliu personally told him that Yu Xiaowei, as the spokesperson of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, held the same status as Qian Daoliu in the cooperation between both sides…
From that moment on, Yue Guan's attitude toward Yu Xiaowei changed 180 degrees.
That sentence held great weight—Yu Xiaowei was considered equal to Qian Daoliu in terms of status.
You must understand, Qian Daoliu was currently the highest power in the Spirit Hall. While Bibi Dong kept her strength hidden, he was the ultimate weapon of Spirit Hall, used to intimidate the entire continent.
Yue Guan saw himself as someone who understood how to survive, so his attitude toward Yu Xiaowei was now even better than toward his own father.
Yang Wudi and the others stared at Yue Guan in astonishment. Was this shameless man in front of them really a Titled Douluo?
In the past, at the Clear Sky Sect, they had seen Titled Douluo from their own sect, and also from battles against others.
But none of those Titled Douluo had ever been as lowly and subservient as Yue Guan, who now acted like someone's grandson.
If Yang Wudi hadn't personally fought with Yue Guan before, he might have truly doubted whether this supposedly vengeful ghost of a man—who had once led the attack on their single-attribute clans—was really a Titled Douluo.
Yu Xiaowei nodded in satisfaction and gave Yue Guan a thumbs-up.
"Well done."
Then he turned to Yang Wudi and the other two, comforting them.
"Seniors, don't worry—I won't press Senior Bai He too hard."
"Now that their family is in trouble, they need more help from outside. Adding frosting to a cake is nothing compared to sending charcoal in the snow."
"I will also make up for the losses the Min Clan has suffered during this period."
As the first to submit to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Yang Wudi clenched his fist on behalf of Tai Tan and Niu Gao.
"Young Patriarch, of course we believe you."
"It's just that the three of us have been brothers with Old Bai He for decades, so naturally, it's hard for us to see him suffer."
That day, after fighting with Yu Xiaowei, the two had a long conversation at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Yu Xiaowei told him everything about his plans with Qian Daoliu, including the truth about the siege on the Clear Sky Sect.
That's when Yang Wudi learned something shocking:
The one who killed Qian Xunji was not Tang Hao, but the current Pope—Bibi Dong. Qian Daoliu had no intention of killing Tang Hao.
The siege of the Clear Sky Sect and the pursuit of Tang Hao were merely a show to save Spirit Hall's face. Otherwise, how could a heavily injured Tang Hao have escaped?
However, Qian Daoliu never expected the Clear Sky Sect's leader to be such a coward. After just a few harsh words, he immediately announced the closure of the sect.
Afterward, because of the sect's closure, all affiliated forces gradually left, including their four single-attribute clans.
But here's the key issue—Qian Daoliu never gave the order to attack their four clans.
That order came from Bibi Dong.
Qian Daoliu still didn't understand how she managed it.
Keep in mind that Qian Xunji had just died and Bibi Dong had only just taken the throne. How could she already have the authority to command the Elder Hall's Titled Douluo to launch an attack on the four single-attribute clans?
And the one who led the attack on the Po Yi Clan was none other than Yue Guan, standing before them now.
The Po Yi Clan's offensive power was unmatched, but their defense was extremely weak.
Therefore, when Yue Guan carried out the purge, their casualties were the most tragic among the four clans. From nearly 300 direct descendants, fewer than 50 survived.
Now, after years of recovery, they had just under 100 again.
After learning this secret, Yang Wudi knelt with one knee before Yu Xiaowei on the spot, first to apologize, then to swear his loyalty.
As long as the deaths of his innocent and tragically killed clan members could be avenged, he didn't mind kneeling before a mere youth.
But now, in order for the Min Clan to join the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, he had to suppress his desire to kill and cooperate with Yue Guan. If Yu Xiaowei hadn't promised that Yue Guan would give him an explanation, he might not have been able to control himself at this point.
Seeing Yang Wudi's pale face, Yu Xiaowei smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Seniors, let's go."
"Juhuaguan, go ahead and prepare for the next phase."
At the mention of the name "Juhuaguan," Yue Guan's expression briefly shifted, but he endured it and respectfully watched Yu Xiaowei leave.
As soon as they left the teahouse, Yang Wudi quickly spoke again, clearly uneasy.
"Young Patriarch, aren't you worried that being so openly associated with a Spirit Hall figure like him might be seen by people from the Min Clan?"
"Hehe."
Yu Xiaowei chuckled, then said something that left Yang Wudi and the others looking at each other in surprise.
"I want them to see it."
