In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 107 The Division of the Four Clans

Before Yinlan could react to Titan's words, Yang Wudi, Bai He, and Niu Gao's expressions turned ugly.

From a generational perspective, the patriarchs of the four clans are all Tang Hao's elders, of the same generation as Tang Hao's father and the disciples of the Haotian Sect. Bai He's sister is Tang Hao's mother, and he is Tang Hao's maternal uncle.

Yes, that is, Yinlan and Tang San's great-uncle.

The four clan leaders addressed each other as "brothers." At this moment, Titan's speech, in which he demeaned himself and willingly became Tang Hao's slave, what did the other three become?!

As expected... Yinlan couldn't help but laugh out loud; she had long anticipated Titan's reaction.

Because in the original history, the Titans' resentment towards the Haotian Sect and the resentment of the other three clan leaders towards the Haotian Sect were not the same thing at all.

The resentment of the other three clans towards the Clear Sky Sect stemmed from the fact that the Clear Sky Sect suddenly betrayed them back then, causing heavy losses to the three clans. Since then, they have hated both the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.

Even Bai He, who had the status of a maternal relative, was the same. When the patriarchs of the Po, Min, and Yu clans first met Tang San, they all fought with him before being tricked into joining the Tang Sect by Titan and Tang San.

Titan's resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect stemmed from the sect's public declaration that Tang Hao had been expelled from the sect.

Yes, that's what he resents.

In the original history, when Tang San revealed his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, Titan first asked him if he was Tang Hao's son. If he hadn't confirmed this, he certainly wouldn't have given Tang San any face.

This was confirmed after the five-year agreement. At that time, Tang San's appearance changed drastically because he had awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. When he went to the Power Clan, no one recognized him as Tang San. Titan treated him as a member of the Clear Sky Sect and was very unfriendly. He only knelt down after Tang San proved his identity.

Yes, Titan doesn't recognize the "Clear Sky Hammer" spirit or the Clear Sky Sect at all. He only recognizes Tang Hao, which is ridiculous. Even if Yin Lan reveals the Clear Sky Hammer spirit here, it won't make a difference. Anyone who is hostile to Tang Hao is considered an enemy in Titan's eyes.

It's hard to imagine how he managed to get along with the other three people and maintain such a good relationship over the years.

Yinlan's smile immediately made the atmosphere even more somber. The expressions on the faces of the three clan leaders became uncertain, and no one spoke.

"You three, do you really want to be subservient to others?" Titan belatedly realized the change in atmosphere and hurriedly said, his eyes wide with surprise. He then glared fiercely at Yinlan, "And you, little girl, what are you laughing at?!"

"I laugh at your foolishness," Yin Lan said, sweeping her gaze over Bai He, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao in turn. "You wouldn't be like him, fantasizing that as long as you kneel down and call Tang Hao 'Master,' the Haotian Sect will one day reappear and recruit you again, would you? Even if they did recruit you, could you forgive and forget and go back to be bossed around by them, continuing to be their cannon fodder?"

"Your clan has been forging iron for the Haotian Sect for generations. Even you yourself have degraded yourself to a slave and recognized Tang Hao as your master," Yinlan said, looking at Titan. "You were even Tang Hao's forging teacher, personally guiding him into the forging industry. However, as one of the three great master craftsmen of our time, you don't even know the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. The Haotian Sect never even considered teaching you."

"Your Min clan has given the most beautiful girl to the Haotian Sect disciples, hoping to curry favor with the sect as relatives of the imperial family," she said, looking at Bai He. "But what good is that? To the Haotian Sect, outsiders are outsiders. You'll just be kicked aside."

"Your Yu clan used the most exquisite architectural techniques to design a perfect residence for the Haotian Sect, combining offense and defense, taking advantage of natural defenses. It can be said to be immortal for ten thousand years," she looked at Niu Gao again, "but in the end, you were blocked outside by the mechanical buildings you designed yourself, and were used and discarded."

"Finally, it was your Po clan that used the best medicine to train the disciples of the Haotian Sect. Even you, as the clan leader, have damaged your cultivation talent due to years of exposure to medicine, making it difficult for your cultivation to advance further." Finally, she looked at Yang Wudi, "And the Haotian Sect resented you for not handing over the medicine prescription. Twelve years ago, your Po clan suffered the most severe losses among the four clans."

"What? You haven't learned your lesson after being betrayed once?" Yin Lan's voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear the sarcasm in her words. "The Clear Sky Sect couldn't even protect Tang Hao, the current Clear Sky Douluo. Do you think you outsiders are more important than Tang Hao in their eyes?"

Bai He, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao remained silent, but their bodies trembled violently, and their breathing became rapid. The painful past had been brought up again after twelve years, and at this moment, the three of them were extremely unsettled.

"No!" Titan, seeing that things were not going well, racked his brains to find loopholes in Yin Lan's words. It was true that he had opinions about the Haotian Sect, but Tang Hao was definitely not among those he had opinions about. At this moment, Yin Lan had stirred up the resentment of the other three clan leaders towards the Haotian Sect as a whole in just a few words.

"How do you know about those things from back then, you little brat?" The events of the past were indeed true, and for a moment he couldn't think of a single rebuttal. He could only try a different approach, starting by finding fault with Yin Lan from another angle. "Knowing so much about what happened back then, you wouldn't happen to be someone from the Spirit Hall, would you?"

Upon hearing the words "Spirit Hall," the patriarchs of the other three clans finally snapped out of their past sorrows and turned to look at Yin Lan.

The Clear Sky Sect tricked them terribly, but the Spirit Hall wasn't much better off!

"Not entirely," Yin Lan said, too lazy to make up lies to fool them, and simply told the truth, "It's just that I have a close cooperative relationship with the Spirit Hall."

"You scum of the Spirit Hall! How dare you appear before us to sow discord! I said, why are you constantly slandering our master?" Titan finally seized the opportunity, directly taking things out of context, twisting the meaning of Yin Lan's words, and immediately shouted, "If it weren't for your Spirit Hall, how could our four clans have fallen to this state? You're quite pretty, and my grandson is in need of a granddaughter-in-law! I'll settle this score with you first! Spirit Possession!"

As he spoke, his already muscular body swelled further, the muscles in his arms grew significantly, his arm span extended to below his knees, and black hair grew on his exposed skin. Two yellow, three purple, and three black spirit rings rose one after another from behind him as he pounced towards Yin Lan.

"You stinky monkey, I've had enough of you!" A sinister voice rang out at the same time. Beside Yin Lan, the slightly plump old man's eyes suddenly turned into dark green vertical pupils, with two yellow, two purple, and five black ones. Nine soul rings rose from behind him.

"You just said," the silver-haired loli who had been silent all along looked over from the other side of Yinlan with a smile, but her childish voice was as cold as if it came from the deepest hell, "What do you want to do to my daughter?"

Eight black and one red rings rose up from behind her.

Two terrifying pressures surged from their bodies, causing Titan, who was in mid-air, to crash to the ground. He, who was most skilled in strength and claimed to be able to rival a Title Douluo with his strength, could not even lift a finger at this moment.

Two Title Douluo!

Moreover, the seemingly youngest of the three, the silver-haired girl, is actually a Title Douluo with a transcendent spirit ring and a 100,000-year spirit ring!

"Titan," Yin Lan's disdain deepened, "I'm only calling you 'senior' out of respect. If I didn't, you'd be nothing!"

Bai He, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao all stared at the scene before them, their faces pale. No one had expected that Yin Lan would be accompanied by two Title Douluo guards. Tai Nuo and Tai Long, who were closer, as well as the Bai family girl who had just poured tea for everyone, were all so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. The other members of the four clans nearby also watched this scene in horror, hesitant to approach.

However, coincidentally, none of the three clan leaders wanted to resist the pressure and step forward to help Titan up from the ground.

"You...you all..." Titan, lying on the ground desperately writhing in his cocoon, narrowed his eyes, staring at the three of them in disbelief. "Have you forgotten how badly the Spirit Hall has harmed us?!"

"That's enough. You can fool others with this, but don't fool yourself," Yinlan scoffed. "You all know perfectly well what happened twelve years ago."

"Old gorilla, old white bird, old goat," after a long silence, it was Niu Gao who spoke first. His expression was complicated, and he said in a muffled voice, "Ever since the incident, my family has been ostracized by other forces. The Elephant Armor Sect, one of the four lower sects, has even been trying to annex our Yu clan. Life has been very difficult. Old white bird, you have suffered the most among our four clans. You should be able to understand that feeling."

Baihe nodded with a bitter expression.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Over the years, I've found that I no longer resent the Spirit Hall as much as I did back then," Niu Gao sighed. "They lost the Pope, and they were just doing what they were supposed to do. What's wrong with that?"

"I've long since come to terms with it. The only ones at fault are us. We followed the wrong people and trusted the wrong people, which is why we've fallen to this state," Yang Wudi said bitterly. "The Spirit Hall lost its Pope, and the Clear Sky Sect has to give an explanation. Back then, our four clans were used as scapegoats by the Clear Sky Sect in the same way!"

So when Yinlan brought up the Blacksmiths' Association earlier, he didn't continue to argue and make trouble, because he knew that what the other party said was true. "Winning people's hearts"? The two great empires and their various sects also have profound foundations, but they are too lazy to even do this kind of "winning people's hearts" work!

"Old gorilla, I hate the Spirit Hall, but I hate the Clear Sky Sect even more!" Yang Wudi's eyes were bloodshot. "If the Clear Sky Sect had chosen to lead my Breaking Clan to fight the Spirit Hall back then, even if the entire clan died in battle, I wouldn't have had the slightest complaint. But they chose to use us to hide and protect themselves!"

"You shouldn't have defended those guys in front of me, especially that bastard Tang Hao! I swore that the Haotian Sect will always be my enemy!" He almost roared.

"Old gorilla, it's time we thought about our family's future," Baihe said, helping his granddaughter up from the ground. "My granddaughter is only twelve years old, but I can't even afford to send her to school! Before today, our entire clan couldn't even scrape together a hundred gold soul coins! If it weren't for Old Goat's help, our Min clan would have been wiped out long ago!"

"That's because you're unwilling to endure hardship. You even stopped your clansmen from collecting their Soul Master subsidies, and you act all high and mighty without finding some menial work to earn money. If all else fails, you could just become a noble in any duchy," Yin Lan interrupted Bai He's complaints, adding, "Since what happened twelve years ago, has the Spirit Hall bothered you again? If the Spirit Hall really wanted to target you, would you still be talking to me here?"

Look at your granddaughter, she's so thin, she looks flat and underdeveloped. No one would guess that she's the same age as Yinlan. They're both twelve, but Yinlan already looks like a young lady, like she's sixteen or seventeen.

Bai He's face twitched. Yin Lan only spoke the truth, and he had no way to refute her. He could only cup his hands in greeting to the two people beside Yin Lan and ask, "May I ask your names, Your Excellencies?"

"I am Dugu Bo, a level 96 control-type titled Douluo! My title is Bilin!" Dugu Bo emphasized the word "level 96".

"Nobody asked about your level." Yinlan was somewhat speechless.

"Yinluo, titled Blue Silver." Yinluo's self-introduction was quite concise.

Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, has a cultivation level of 96... The pupils of the four clan leaders suddenly contracted. Compared to the "infamous" Dugu Bo, they really knew nothing about Yin Luo.

"The three of you, let's speak frankly," Yang Wudi said, his eyes shifting before he finally made up his mind. His gaze, however, remained fixed on Yin Lan. He knew that among the three, she was the leader, so he asked directly, "If our three clans were to join your ranks, what could you offer us? And what would you expect us to do?"

"Old Goat, you!" Titan was furious. He struggled a few more times, but was still firmly pinned to the ground. "Are you stupid?! They're connected to the Spirit Hall!"

However, no one listened to his nonsense. Those in positions of authority should fulfill their responsibilities. As the heads of their respective families, they bear the future of the entire clan and must consider the interests of the whole clan.

"At the very least, I won't treat you as slaves or cannon fodder. I'll protect you if anything happens. Of course, don't come looking for me if you cause trouble yourselves," Yin Lan said seriously. "I know you have old grudges with the Spirit Hall, and I won't waste my breath trying to persuade you to let go of your hatred. If the Spirit Hall comes looking for trouble, I'll handle it. But once you're under my control, I don't want you to do anything irrational."

"As for what I need you to do, I haven't thought about it," Yinlan shrugged. "I came here to buy Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and recruiting you is just a side benefit, to avoid any future conflicts..."

"...I'll have to expend some more effort," Yin Lan said with a bright smile, but her words sent chills down everyone's spines. "...I'll kill you all one by one."
