Chapter 56

"You don't want to, I'll go hunt that ox-headed python in the Star Dou Great Forest? The Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Broken Heaven Sect already has a 100,000-year seventh soul ring; I'm really worried about what kind of soul beast I need to hunt for his eighth soul ring."

"'Azure Ox Python' is quite suitable, don't you think?" Yang Yun's smile imprinted itself in Xiao Wu's mind.

When Xiao Wu heard those four words "Azure Ox Python", her heart felt as if it were being burned by fire, a searing pain.

In her eyes, the hatred from the beginning had now been replaced by fear.

This person is a madman, a demon;

an evil soul master who commits all kinds of wicked deeds.

She hadn't even waited for her third brother to grow up so they could take revenge together before the enemy got there first, capturing and raising her.

Before she could think of anything else, Xiao Wu felt herself being picked up.

A masculine scent surged into her nostrils.

"En"

Xiao Wu looked in terror at Yang Yun, who had picked her up.

"What are you looking at? If there's nothing else, hurry up and go heat the foot-washing water; you need to get used to serving others, you need to have some liveliness in your eyes, got it?" Yang Yun said lightly.

Saying that, he shoved Xiao Wu away with a hard push.

Enduring the burning pain, Xiao Wu searched for a place where she could heat water.

At the beginning of her captivity, Xiao Wu had also tried to seize the opportunity to escape.

But deep down she felt a sensation, a sharp stabbing pain that would tear her to pieces if she went beyond a certain distance.

She knew that somewhere in the shadows, a Title Douluo-level figure was locking onto her.

Moreover, once she moved a certain distance away from Yang Yun, the burning pain in her body would double.

Later, Xiao Wu seemed to have resigned herself, honestly going to the kitchen to heat water.

This captured 100,000-year-old humanoid soul beast quickly became known to the entire Broken Heaven Sect.

That night.

Yang Yun summoned Yang Wu Hu, Yang Wu Long, Yang Wu Sha, and Yang Po Xue for a meeting.

During this period, when the Broken Heaven Sect was first being built, everyone in the sect was united in purpose for this one matter; but some things need to be prepared as early as possible.

When the Grand Elder Yang Wudi went to hunt for his ninth soul ring and returned, he was ambushed by an unknown small team and nearly fell; judging by the soul spirits, it was led by the Xiangjia Sect and the Fengjian Sect.

The other minor sects also took part; I want to avenge the Grand Elder before our sect is completed, using the blood of our enemies to consecrate the founding of our Broken Heaven Sect.

Upon hearing this, Yang Posue immediately showed an indignant and resentful expression, breathing quickly as he said: "Sect Master, why not simply wipe out the Xiangjia Sect and the Fengjian Sect outright? With our sect's strength, it would not be difficult."

Hearing this, Yang Yun's gaze turned toward Yang Wushā.

As the one who had long been in charge of foreign affairs for the Broken Heaven Sect, after further investigation he discovered the complicated relationships behind the Xiangjia Sect, within the Xiangjia Academy.

Yang Wushā crossed his arms and tapped his forearm rhythmically: "Now is not the best time to act against the Xiangjia Sect; most of the students in the Xiangjia Academy are nobles and commoners alike, making selective hunting too laborious and cleanup extremely difficult."

"If we indiscriminately bombard them, such brutal tactics will surely provoke resentment from all levels of the Star Luo Empire; then the Soul Hall could use this as an excuse to label us as evil soul masters and attack us, leaving us in a passive position."

"At this stage we still lack the strength to directly oppose the combined forces of the continent's major powers; we must not act too rashly, we need to consider the consequences."

Yang Posue cracked a smile, revealing his neat white teeth: "So you're saying that once we have that kind of strength, we no longer need to worry about consequences?"

"Cough cough." Yang Yun coughed once, cutting off further discussion: "Even with strength, we cannot recklessly mass-slaughter soul masters and ordinary people; when necessary we can be ruthless, but we must not become overly indifferent to life."

Yang Posue let out an "Oh," slightly sticking out his tongue, and said: "Sect Master, I understand."

Yang Wulong and the other two also understood what Yang Yun meant.

Seeing this, Yang Yun continued: "The Xiangjia Sect, as one of the four major branches under its main sect, has its strongest member, Huyan Zhen, who is only a Soul Douluo-level soul master; nevertheless, strategically we must take this opponent seriously."

"This time we'll treat it as a practice run; next time it will be their turn. When the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament arrive, I will intercept their team midway; you wait for the opportunity to annihilate the Xiangjia Sect and Xiangjia Academy."

"Before that, the Jianyu Hall will investigate and gather all information about the relevant personnel of the Xiangjia Sect and Xiangjia Academy."

"For now, our target is the Fengjian Sect and the remaining minor sects; the Cunhu Hall's low-ranking soul masters will stay behind to finish the final touches on the sect's construction, while the high-ranking soul masters of both the Jianyu Hall and Cunhu Hall will be fully deployed."

"The Zhifa Hall will be responsible for sniping high-ranking soul masters; those at Soul Saint level and above are your targets; if you individually snipe more than five Soul Saints or higher, you will be rewarded with a soul bone of over ten thousand years."

"This reward applies to everyone; it remains valid until the Xiangjia Sect and Xiangjia Academy are completely wiped out; moreover, the reward can stack in quantity or quality."

Yang Wulong and the three others were all dumbfounded.

They gazed longingly at Yang Yun: "Sect Master, what about us?"

Yang Yun looked seriously at Yang Wulong and the three: "When the time comes, the elite of our sect will pour out in full force; Long Shu will guard the sect internally; Hu Shu and Sha Shu will be responsible for protecting the sect's troops, and if any Titled Douluo interferes, we will kill them outright."

"No matter who the opponent is, any consequences our Broken Heaven Sect can bear."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Yang Wulong and the three felt a hidden anticipation, wondering if they would get a chance to act that day; after working out a complete plan, Yang Yun produced the Hunyuan Immortal Herb.

"The leaves of this immortal herb can help you condense a soul core; its fundamental function is to improve the control of soul power, enhancing some mental power and focus."

"No immortal herb is specifically grown for a particular human behavior; enhancing soul power control and some mental power and focus is the basic function of the Hunyuan Immortal Herb."

"Each person gets one piece; try to see if you can successfully condense a soul core."

Yang Yun also gave a detailed account of Ye Lingling's consumption of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl regarding the initially formed soul core.

Soon the four entered a meditative cultivation state.

Yang Yun used an external soul bone to closely monitor the degree of soul power circulation in each of them.

Under his gaze, it was clear that their control over soul power was gradually becoming more flexible; Yang Posue was the first to begin condensing a soul core.

Pure white soul power, like icy mist, continuously rotated at a point, gradually forming a core that drove the surrounding soul power to spin along with it.

But the speed of rotation was not fast.

Yang Wulong and the three also began slowly attempting to control their soul power to condense and rotate.

As time passed.

Yang Posue's forehead began to bead with fine sweat.

Seeing this, Yang Yun plucked a piece of the Hunyuan Immortal Herb and placed it into Yang Posue's mouth.

The immortal herb seemed to play a key role; as Yang Po Xue's soul power's rotation center entered the second piece of mixed-yuan immortal herb, its speed gradually stabilized.

Until Yang PoXue opened their eyes, they gave Yang Yunlu a brilliant smile: "Sect Master, I think I succeeded; I succeeded in condensing a soul core, I feel the speed of my soul power circulation has increased."
