Chapter 40: Hedging Bets, Twin Martial Souls—Who Isn

Yang Yun watched as over two hundred people chattered nonstop; when the timing was about right, he used gravity at the center to make everyone shut their mouths.

Starting today, the Breaking Heaven Sect establishes an Enforcement Hall; Yang Poxue serves as hall master, with status equal to an elder; Yang Poxiu, Yang Poshi, and Yang Poao each lead a team, taking turns enforcing the rules to observe the effect.

Outstanding individuals will be promoted to vice hall master; outstanding members of the enforcement teams may be promoted to captain.

The enforcement regulations of the Breaking Heaven Sect's Enforcement Hall will be set by me and announced later; those with objections may find me after the meeting to offer suggestions.

Just as Yang Yun was about to dismiss the gathering, he waved and had Yang Poxue take his place.

You can ask the Enforcement Hall hall master about any concerns you have; if she doesn't know, then you don't need to know either—so don't come looking for trouble, understand?

Understood!

Yang Wudi looked at the embarrassed Bai He and Niu Gao; after all, they had been brothers for several decades.

He sighed and asked, "Sect Master, how should we deal with these two?"

Yang Yun smiled and said casually, "Keep serving as hall master; until a new hall master is chosen, work diligently; don't cause trouble for your hall members—make it an act of atonement."

Once the new hall master is selected, you can become idle elders; there will be a time to trade merit for forgiveness, so don't harbor any ill intentions—I'm watching you.

Saying this, Yang Yun poked his chest.

First, let you stay alive and steady; later there will be plenty of chances for you to sacrifice yourselves generously for the family.

Yang Wudi sighed repeatedly as he walked over to Niu Gao and Bai He, patting their shoulders: "If only we had known today, why bother back then?"

You know the sect master's future, yet you chose to conceal it; this is truly unacceptable, utterly outrageous.

Now you've seen how strong the sect master's methods are, right?

Niu Gao also wore a regretful bitter smile: "It's my fault; I was bewitched by that old orangutan Titan; he said Tang Hao has a son with twin martial souls, limitless future, even possibly becoming a god."

So I—

Yang Wudi let out a cold snort upon hearing that and stepped back from Niu Gao.

"Old Rhino, I see now, I see now; you wanted to hedge your bets, but ended up lifting a stone only to drop it on your own foot—Old White Bird, you think the same, right?"

Bai He remained silent, not speaking; twin martial souls—even if the first martial soul is a useless one, it's fine.

But the second martial soul is the Heavenly Hammer; when it appears, a Heavenly Hammer fully black or even half-black half-red in soul ring configuration will emerge.

Who in this world could resist or oppose it? Yang Wudi snorted repeatedly, grabbing Bai He's and Niu Gao's heads and pressing them tightly against his mouth; soul power wrapped his voice as he said this:

"What's so special about twin martial souls? Who isn't?"

As his words fell, the flames surging from Yang Wudi's chest burned him to a crisp, leaving only his bare upper garment.

Yang Yun's voice entered the three men's minds: "This is the only time; next time, without warning, I will obliterate you."

Bai He's and Niu Gao's faces drastically changed, not only from fear of the flames engulfing Yang Wudi,

but also from endless regret.

Having backed the wrong side, having chosen the wrong camp, there's no turning back.

Fortunately, this was an individual act, not implicating the clan; otherwise, even Yang Wudi could be casually erased by Yang Yun.

Facing the Min and Yu clans with divided loyalties, he could wipe them out from this world in the flip of a hand, leaving not a trace.

Too terrifying, too frightening.

His power reaches the heavens, his methods are stern; most importantly, his scheming and hidden cards are unfathomable.

He is cold and unfeeling, yet he treats his own subordinates extremely well; this is evident in his Nourishing Skill and Eight Section Brocade.

What's more exciting is that Yang Wulong, Yang Wuhu, and Yang Wusha are three Title Soul Master with ninth-ring, hundred-thousand-year soul rings.

Plus, Yang Poxue is a Soul Saint with a seventh-ring, hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

From today onward, the three clans of the Breaking Heaven Sect are completely fused into an ironclad unit; only Yang Yun's voice remains, while Bai He and Niu Gao have already been kicked out.

The Min and Yu clans can no longer tolerate them continuing to lead.

Even Bai Chenxiang feels relieved that her grandfather didn't implicate everyone in the Pointed Feather Hall; otherwise, for profit, Bai He would likely be forced to death by her family and made to apologize to Yang Yun.

Only those who have experienced light will feel utterly terrified at losing it.

Such people crave the light's illumination even more than those who have never known it.

On the way back, Yang Yun also gave the Enforcement Hall and Yang Wulong a task: to research how to condense a soul core.

Once the function and principles of the soul core are made clear, whether it can be done will depend on the aptitude of Yang Poxue and the others.

I possess a soul crystal, which is superior to a soul core, and I don't need to worry about frequency matching.

The Star Dou Great Forest, at the Blue Silver King.

In his dazed awakening, Tang Hao vaguely saw a man speaking to him, urging him to quickly bring his son Tang San to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.

Just those words left Tang Hao feeling as if his brain had been struck by his father's Heavenly Hammer, painful.

Struggling to rise, Tang Hao covered his chest with one hand; his gaze was involuntarily drawn to a stalk of grass and a black bamboo shoot protected by the Blue Silver King among the branches.

"'This thing didn't exist before; when did it appear?' Tang Hao thought to himself, involuntarily recalling the words he'd heard while unconscious."

It urged him to bring little San now to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.

"'Who exactly is that person, and what are these two plants? They appeared out of nowhere and are being protected by the Blue Silver King.'"

Tang Hao couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking.

His mind began to ponder whether to trust that person's words, and to bring little San now to awaken his martial soul.

Just thinking that little San might already be exposed made Tang Hao's heart flare with anger; this matter is inevitably linked to the man with the hundred-thousand-year eighth-ring soul ring he previously fought.

"No matter who you are, I, Tang Hao, will kill you."

His eyes gleamed with icy killing intent; Tang Hao coughed lightly, grabbed a blood-stained cloak from the ground, and casually wrapped it around his head.

He fled at top speed.

The Thousand-Jun Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo couldn't find Tang Hao's traces in a short time, only able to linger nearby briefly to search.

Unbeknownst to them, Tang Hao had already detoured through the Star Dou Great Forest, long since leaving places like Nuoding City on the frontier.

Suotuo City.

At this moment, the Grandmaster gazed at Zhu Zhuqing's over-six-thousand-year-old purple soul ring and the dark black ten-thousand-year fourth ring, his fists clenched.

"Impossible, how could such a soul ring configuration possibly succeed? Zhuqing, did you use some secret technique, or has your martial soul undergone some special mutation?"

"Can you tell me how you did it? If it's replicable, perhaps through my research, everyone could possess a ten-thousand-year fourth ring soul ring configuration."

Upon hearing this,

Both Zhao Wují and Flender's faces changed dramatically.

Even the two Soul Saints of the Power Clan stared at the Grandmaster with faces full of shock.

But because the Grandmaster was the teacher of the young master Tang San, they dared not speak further.

Zhao Wují glanced at Flender, seeing that he remained silent, and thus kept silent as well.

Only Ning Rongrong, hands on hips, pulled Zhu Zhuqing behind her and bluntly said, "Hey! Grandmaster, do you even understand what rules are?"
