They then cut their wrists and signed the agreement with their blood.
Zhuang Jingxing said expressionlessly: "It's better to do so, otherwise I guarantee that you will be worse off than those traitors just now!"
"However, as long as you are loyal to my Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, I will not treat you unfairly!"
"Where is the Pegasus tribe leader?"
"I'm here." The Pegasus chief stepped forward immediately. He knew that a huge reward was coming!
"I have seen and remembered the loyalty of your Pegasus tribe over the years. Among those traitors just now, the power of the four families, the Jian clan, the Zhou clan, the Monkey Sky Sect, and the Snow Silkworm clan, will be taken over by your Pegasus tribe. Moreover, from today onwards, your Pegasus tribe only needs to hand over 0.05% of its income."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, the noble clan!" The Pegasus clan leader was so excited that his brain went blank. He could only keep repeating, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" and "Thank you, the noble clan."
You know, those four families all have several Soul Saints! Especially the Monkey Sky Clan, which is stronger than his Pegasus Clan.
Once these four forces are taken over, the strength of his Pegasus clan will at least increase fivefold, and at least three Soul Douluos will emerge in the family within five years.
His soul power will also break through to level 83... level 85, or even level 89!
With the support of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, no one dares to provoke his Pegasus Clan easily. He can develop steadily, and in another seven or eight years, he will be able to reach the level of the lower four sects.
The other forces were envious upon seeing this, and regretted not having provided timely assistance to the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan in its hour of crisis. They became even more determined to remain loyal to the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan.
At this point, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan once again confirmed its dominant position in Beiyuan!
The next step is to eliminate the Spirit Hall's sub-hallions, branch halls and other forces in Beiyuan!
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
Chapter 67: Ning Fengzhi, the Treasure Boy
After resolving the issue with the affiliated forces, three Soul Douluo guest officials from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect came to visit.
These guests were originally independent cultivators who had received favors from Zhuang Ziliang when they were young. Later, they joined the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as guests. During the period of decline of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, they helped the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan in their personal capacity, both financially and physically.
The purpose of this visit is, firstly, to celebrate the birth of three titles in the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, and secondly, to conduct in-depth communication on behalf of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Facing the visit of an old friend, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan naturally entertained him well. After a banquet, Qibao Guest also told Ning Fengzhi's instructions and presented two 2-year-old soul bones, expressing his support for the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to become the new top three sects and the leader of the top three sects! He wanted to secretly form an alliance with the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to jointly resist the Spirit Hall.
If there is a conflict between the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and the Spirit Hall in the future and a war is going to take place, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will send another 1-year soul bone and one 3-year soul bone as a token of support.
Zhuang Xingyu and others naturally saw through Ning Fengzhi's purpose: they wanted the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to take the lead in fighting against the Spirit Hall, while Ning Fengzhi would take advantage of the situation behind the scenes.
Ning Fengzhi still wants to fish in troubled waters, but he wants nothing. The Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan will never give him that opportunity.
However, if a soul bone is delivered to your door, you should take it first.
Eliminating the forces of the Spirit Hall in Beiyuan Village is what the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan must do. If a force is full of spies planted by others, how can it be independent and autonomous? How can it be revived?
Therefore, whether Ning Fengzhi sends people or not, it will not affect the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan's plan to pretend to be bandits and deal with the Spirit Hall.
The Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan was very happy. I was originally planning to spend my own money and do my own business, but I didn’t expect a boy with treasures to jump out halfway.
The Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan immediately said: "We, the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan, agree to this matter and will soon attack the Spirit Hall. Let Sect Master Ning just wait for the victory report!" However, a large number of military shields, bows and crossbows and other weapons are urgently needed, and a lot of gold soul coins and food are still lacking.
As for forming an alliance, Zhuang Xingyu and others disagreed, because the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan only accepts completely subservient subordinate forces, and only cooperates, and does not form an alliance with any force.
On the other side, the Qibao Glazed Sect.
Ning Fengzhi was a little confused: "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, do you think the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan agreed too readily? Is there a trick?"
Ning Fengzhi didn't even dare to think about the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan clearing out the Spirit Hall's forces on a large scale.
Bone Douluo bowed his hands: "I think they just want the title of the world's number one sect! According to intelligence and history, the successive rulers of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan have always been obsessed with expanding their territory. All the generations of clansmen have regarded the expansion of the clan as their highest belief. Now that they have the opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step, it must be difficult to refuse."
"They have now released three titles, and they are very arrogant. They feel that they can go head-to-head with the Spirit Hall. This must be their mentality!"
"When I first became a Titled Douluo, I was also very arrogant and looked down on everyone. It was only as I got older that I gradually learned to be low-key."
Sword Douluo bickers with Bone Douluo: "Is that because you're getting older? You were clearly defeated by me."
Bone Douluo immediately retorted: "No, you are talking nonsense! It's just because of my age."
Jian Douluo curled his lips and continued to analyze: "Feng Zhi, we can look at the problem from the root. According to our intelligence and analysis of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, they don't have many common interests with the Spirit Hall. On the contrary, it is more in line with their core interests to join forces with us to deal with the Spirit Hall."
Ning Fengzhi also said: "That's right! I think so too. No matter what the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan does, they will not go against their core interests."
"Since the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan has been fooled and wants to confront the Spirit Hall, then we should support him! Our sect has nothing but a lot of money."
"As long as they attack the Spirit Hall, we will send people to give them a 1-year spirit bone, a 3-year spirit bone, 1 tons of fine steel and fine iron, 1 million gold spirit coins, and a large amount of food and fodder."
In fact, it just happens to be in line with the core interests of both parties and is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
……
The next day, Zhuang Jingxing led the chief core elder and Zhuang Xingyu to convene the leaders of the affiliated forces and announced their plan to pretend to be bandits and eliminate the Spirit Hall's forces in Beiyuan.
Including abolishing slavery afterwards (with Beiyuan's current productivity, slavery should be abolished, which is also in the interests of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and its affiliated forces);
Completely ban human trafficking; let the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and its affiliated forces help the common people, the poor, and the former slaves of Beiyuan awaken their martial spirits; instead of using the Heaven Dou Empire to pay soul masters subsidies, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan will use it to double the subsidies for the common soul masters of Beiyuan (there are not many common soul masters in Beiyuan, most of them have power, so the financial pressure is not great)...
The Pegasus Clan, Tianshui College, the Jun Family and all other affiliated forces chose to support without hesitation, and requested to send troops to coordinate the battle with the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan!
First, they understand that this is a token of friendship. After doing this with the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, they are completely tied to the chariot of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, and only then can others truly trust you.
The second reason is that the Spirit Hall has oppressed them too much over the years, and they themselves have deep resentment towards the Spirit Hall.
The Angel God established the Spirit Hall for the benefit of the continent, and did many good things that were conducive to the development of the continent. Until the Qian Daoliu period, it did a very good job and was much stronger than the two empires and the three major sects.
But there are all kinds of birds in the forest. The current Spirit Hall, apart from awakening the soul power of civilians, is no different from the two empires. The two empires are also stupid. They receive so many soul master subsidies every year, but they don't pay them themselves, but let the Spirit Hall pay them and let the Spirit Hall win the hearts of the people. However, it is also possible that other agreements have been reached behind the scenes.
Especially in recent years, Bibi Dong has been busy fighting for power. She doesn't care whether her subordinates are loyal to the Spirit Hall, whether they are capable, or whether they have the bottom line as human beings. As long as they support Bibi Dong and oppose the Worship Hall, you will be reused!
As long as you are loyal to the Temple of Worship and believe in the Qian Family, you will not be reused and you will be suppressed. Gradually, those who originally had ideals and beliefs, after not getting a response from the Temple of Worship, gradually became corrupt with Bibi Dong, and after tasting the sweetness, they were even more reluctant to let go.
Just when Zhuang Jingxing was leading the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and its affiliated forces to secretly mobilize soldiers and spirit masters, someone sent an urgent report, "Patriarch, the Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop Salas led the Spirit Hall delegation to come and want to see you and the two supreme elders and the chief core elder. They said they have important matters to discuss. Judging from their attitude, they have bad intentions!"
Zhuang Jingxing ordered, "Let them wait in the front hall and keep a close watch on them. I will meet them after I have dealt with the matter."
Zhuang Xingyu was secretly delighted. "You have bad intentions? Great! I was just worried about not finding a reason! You, Sarath, came at the right time. No matter what you want to do next, you must be given a reason to lead the forces of the various branch halls, sub-hall and main halls in Beiyuanli to rebel, betray the Spirit Hall, seize a large amount of property of the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire, provoke the relationship between the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan and the Spirit Hall, assassinate the pride of our clan, and attack our clan innocently."
"It seems that we have to change the plan. We will not pretend to be bandits. When the time comes, we will control Sarath to lead the killing, and our people will put on masks and claim to be Sarath's men. Let Sarath take the blame."
"It is clear that Sarath killed those who were unwilling to follow him in the various branch halls, and those who were willing to follow him were also killed by those who were unwilling to follow him. They died together. Then my clan came out to clean up the murderer Sarath."
"Your Spirit Hall should thank us for helping you get rid of the pests!"
Chapter 68: Clearing the Spirit Hall's Powers in Beiyuan
After a long while, Zhuang Jingxing brought Zhuang Xingyu and 1 to 4 core elders to the front hall to meet the Spirit Hall envoy at a leisurely pace. The standard was even lower than that of receiving the Beiyuan affiliated forces.
If Bibi Dong came in person, Zhuang Jingxing would naturally meet her first.
But you are just a platinum bishop Sarath, with a soul power of level 87, not even a titled Douluo. You didn't send a visiting card in advance, nor did you bring any gifts in your hands. We don't know you. What's more, you came here with an attitude of making trouble, and you asked to see the titled Douluo of the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan by name. What are you thinking! You are not qualified!
If he hadn't come on behalf of the Spirit Hall, he wouldn't even be able to see Zhuang Jingxing.
Moreover, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan intends to eliminate the influence of the Spirit Hall in Beiyuan. Although they will not directly tear their relations with the Spirit Hall on the surface, there will definitely be frictions in private.
Now that the Spirit Hall envoys have come with bad intentions, there is naturally no need to give them any face.
When Zhuang Xingyu returned from his training, he had explained the internal forces of the Spirit Hall to his grandmother and father. As for Zhuang Xingyu's claim that he learned about it by chance, his grandmother and others tacitly did not ask. They always believed that Zhuang Xingyu would not say anything he was not sure of. The child was grown up and should have his own secrets.
Today, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan is qualified to have an equal dialogue with the Spirit Hall, and at least they don't have to fear the power of the Pope's Palace.
The Spirit Hall is large and corrupt, and is severely divided internally. Beiyuan is in the northwest of the Tiandou Empire, and the Spirit Hall is on the southern border of the Tiandou Empire, which are far apart.
In the land of Beiyuan, the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan is invincible! Even if Bibi Dong gathered all the Titled Douluo in the Pope's Palace and ran to Beiyuan to attack the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan with all her might, she would still not be a match for the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan.
Furthermore, can Bibi Dong concentrate all her strength on the Pope's Palace? Restricted by the divine test, it dares not even reveal its own strength, and it is hard to say whether it has the strength of level 98 now.
Saras waited and waited, and even drank a pot of tea, but still did not wait for Zhuang Jingxing to meet him. He was very angry and roared in his heart: "Except for seeing the Pope, no other forces dare to make me wait so long!" (The Worship Hall did not see him, he was not qualified)
Zhuang Jingxing, Zhuang Xingyu, and the core elders 1 to 4 also arrived. Upon seeing this, Sarath said in a harsh tone, "Patriarch Zhuang is so arrogant! Believe it or not, I will report you to His Holiness the Pope and you will be in big trouble!"
Saras has been bullying the Heaven Dou Empire for years. The imperial family and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect have always tried to make small matters out of big ones and big things out of small ones out of consideration for the Spirit Hall's reputation, which has also encouraged his evil ways.
In the original time and space, he even molested a young girl in public at the Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, manipulated the competition, and intervened in Tiandou's internal affairs. He didn't care about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tiandou Empire at all. He really regarded the Spirit Hall's power as his own!
The Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan will not tolerate his bad habits.
Zhuang Jingxing just sat down and responded tit for tat: "Your pope is in charge of the Spirit Hall, what qualifications do you have to control my Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan? When friends come, we have wine and meat, when enemies come, we have swords. You, Sarath, were the first to break the etiquette, so I will naturally not treat you as a guest."
Sarath said arrogantly, "Without further ado, I am here with the order of His Holiness the Pope. Please ask the two supreme elders and the chief core elder of your tribe to come and receive the order."
Upon hearing this, the core elders No. 1 to 4 immediately became furious. After receiving a signal from Zhuang Jingxing, the four of them joined forces to suppress Sarath and his subordinates!
The three core elders went up to him and slapped him in the face: "Who do you think you are? How dare you ask our tribe to accept your orders? Go to hell!"
Sarath looked incredulous and didn't react. He said to himself, "I was beaten? I was beaten!
It took him more than ten seconds to react, and he immediately roared: "Hit me, how dare you hit me! Do you know who I am? I am the Platinum Bishop..."
"Clap clap clap!"
Before Saras could finish, the second core elder started a big fight and then blocked Saras' mouth with the leg of a stool.
"Tell me quickly, what exactly are you doing here in my tribe?"
"Speak! Why aren't you speaking? It seems like you still want to be beaten!"
"Bang, bang, bang!" Another round of punches and kicks. Now there was no place on Salas' body that was not swollen.
"Oooooh, ooooh, ooooh..." Sarath could only moan continuously. He finally realized that the people in front of him were not afraid of Spirit Hall at all. He was a little upset: "Why don't you take the legs of the stool away!"
After a long fight, Zhuang Jingxing finally had the stool legs removed. Salas immediately responded, "I say, I say, the Pope wants you to cancel the celebration in three months and cancel the title you originally planned. Instead, go to Wuhun City to hold the title ceremony in one month, and the Pope will grant you the title."
Zhuang Jingxing clenched his fists, "This is too much! Bibi Dong, do you really think that my Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan is easy to bully?"
Think about it, they are both powerful forces, but the highest ceremony of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan has to follow the rules of your Spirit Hall. The Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan announced to the whole continent that the celebration will be held in Pure Yang Holy Leopard City in three months, but because of Bibi Dong's words, they have to change the time, place, and content. Do you still want to save face?
How would other forces view the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan? How could they rise? How could they revive? If that were to happen, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan would become a joke!
Apart from the Spirit Hall, which family's title was given by the Spirit Hall? Not a single one! Didn't they all choose it themselves?
Can anyone give a specific counterexample? Is there any specific counterexample against this view in the original book? No, I can't give any!
Also, although the Douluo Hall of the Spirit Hall is the place where the titles are buried, other than the titles of the Spirit Hall itself, which titles are buried in the Douluo Hall? Not a single one!
"Bang, bang, bang." Sarath was held down and beaten with punches and kicks again.
Afterwards, Zhuang Jingxing sent someone to clean up the bloodstains on Sarath, making him look the same as he did at the beginning. Then he took out a soul guide and some documents, and said, "Come on, Sarath, confess your sins!"
Sarath was puzzled and asked with his mouth wide open: "What sin? Chief Zhuang, oh no, Grandpa Zhuang, I don't understand."
