Yu Luomian's suspicions were correct; Yu Yuanzhen was indeed secretly investigating the matter, trying to find the person who leaked the information.
Unfortunately, the investigation yielded little result. Although they found a few suspicious clansmen, their status within the clan was too low to access high-level matters, let alone discover traces of their father and others leaving at the summit of Bawang Mountain.
"Who exactly is it?"
Yu Yuanzhen examined the family genealogy repeatedly, but still couldn't find anything suspicious.
"Was he hiding it too well? Or did he use that night's opportunity to fake his death and leave with the Holy Dragon Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect?"
After considering the two possibilities, Yu Yuanzhen leaned more towards the latter.
The person who was capable of being an undercover spy must be quite intelligent. They must have guessed that they would be suspected and exposed after the assassination, so it's normal for them to prepare an escape plan in advance.
Moreover, too many people from their sect died that night, especially the Soul Douluo level, which was almost completely wiped out, and even their corpses were taken away by the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect.
Now that there's no way to verify the truth, there's no way to investigate.
However, Yu Yuanzhen never imagined that the problem did not lie within the clan, but rather that the Spirit Hall had sent a Title Douluo skilled in surveillance to staking out outside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which led to the discovery of Yu Zhenlong and the others' departure.
After all, although Yu Zhenlong and the others left in seclusion, they did not use spatial means, so they could naturally be observed.
It can only be said that the Spirit Hall has a huge scale, too many powerful people, and all kinds of talents, making it impossible to guard against them.
Yu Yuanzhen was naturally unaware of these things. At this moment, besides having a headache over the traitor, he was also having a headache over an invitation, an invitation from the Haotian Sect.
Chapter 401 The Three Upper Sects Join Forces
After looking at the invitation all day, Yu Yuanzhen finally decided to go.
When Yu Yuanzhen arrived at the agreed location, he saw a burly figure fishing by the lake. He looked around but did not see anyone else.
"Sect Master Yu, please be seated."
Noticing Yu Yuanzhen approaching, Tang Zhen turned around with a sincere smile on his face.
"The Tang Emperor certainly has refined tastes."
Sitting down on a nearby rock, Yu Yuanzhen cut to the chase without bothering with pleasantries.
"What is the purpose of Emperor Tang's invitation to me to come here?"
His eyes narrowed slightly. He knew Tang Zhen somewhat; he was definitely a qualified sect leader.
The fact that they would secretly contact me under such circumstances must mean something big.
"I have heard that the Vajra Sect, which has been hidden in the world for a thousand years, has reappeared and is now uniting the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect to challenge your sect's position as the number one beast spirit sect in the world."
"Our three sects have been allied for many years and have a long-standing alliance. Now that the Vajra Sect wants to persecute your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, how can I, as the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, sit idly by?"
Tang Zhen was also someone who didn't like beating around the bush, so he spoke frankly.
This indicates that they want a share of the spoils in the upcoming battle.
Even a fool could guess that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would inevitably mobilize its entire clan to annihilate the three Vajra Clans. However, even with its vast resources, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would still suffer heavy losses if it tried to destroy the three clans on its own.
That's why he came to cooperate.
What do you want?
After thinking it over, Yu Yuanzhen did not refuse.
He wouldn't have cared if Tang Zhen hadn't come to him, but since Tang Zhen had already come, he had no choice but to let him join in.
Otherwise, if you refuse, they might turn around and tell on you, which would be a disaster.
Such acts as destroying a sect and annihilating a clan can only be done in secret. Bringing them into the open would cause a lot of trouble and might even give the Spirit Hall an excuse to attack.
Just like when they attacked and killed the Elephant Armor Sect last time, neither the Elephant Armor Sect nor the Holy Dragon Sect made it public. So he didn't reveal to the outside world that the two sects had attacked and killed their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Some things must be done in secret, never brought into the open, and the final result depends entirely on one's own methods.
"All the power-type soul bones and half of the assets of the two sects."
Tang Zhen believed he was being very sincere in stating his goals.
The soul bones of the two sects are generally of the metal and earth attributes, as well as the strength and defense types. It is not considered greedy to only want the strength type.
"I can decide to give you the soul bone with the power attribute, but I have already promised the assets of both sects to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I cannot break my promise."
After thinking for a while, Yu Yuanzhen agreed to the Soul Bone's request and also revealed the matter of cooperating with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"You persuaded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Tang Zhen was surprised. He hadn't thought of this before, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem strange.
There are too many forces eyeing the top three sect positions. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School itself has a flawed martial soul, its overall combat strength is not strong, and it lacks truly top-tier experts. It is normal for it to choose to cooperate and join forces with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.
"Since Sect Master Yu and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have made a prior promise, I, Tang, will not make things difficult for Sect Master Yu. However, obtaining some power-type soul bones alone is a bit lacking. How about exchanging 50% of the assets of the two sects for Uncle Yu's opportunity to make a move?"
After careful consideration, Tang Zhen changed the terms.
Back in the New Heaven Dou City, he saw that Yu Zhenlong was about to break through, and just now he gave him some pointers. He believes that Yu Zhenlong should have already broken through and become a peak Douluo of level ninety-nine by now.
The very existence of such a top-tier expert is of great value. Exchanging 50% of the assets of the Holy Dragon Sect and Elephant Armor Sect for a chance for Jade True Dragon to make a move is not a bad deal.
"make a deal."
With a flicker in his eyes, Yu Zhenlong finally agreed.
He could guess who Tang Zhen wanted to deal with; it must be Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo of the Sword Sect.
It would be almost impossible for Tang Zhen to kill Chen Xin on his own, but if he were to add a peak Douluo, he would have a much better chance.
Not to mention that his father is a Soul Master specializing in agility-based attacks; if the two of them joined forces, Chen Xin wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
With Chen Xin's death, the so-called Sword Sect will crumble.
However, destroying the Sword Sect would also benefit their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, as it would further consolidate the deterrent power of the three upper sects and suppress the ambitions of some ambitious individuals.
This is a mutually beneficial arrangement, and there is no reason to refuse.
"There's something I need to make clear now. Sect Leader Tang can take action, but he absolutely cannot attract the attention of the Spirit Hall, otherwise things will become quite complicated."
Speaking of a key point, Yu Yuanzhen didn't want Tang Zhen's actions to bring the Spirit Hall into the picture, not to mention that the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Zhen's reputations were too bad, and it would be very troublesome if people saw them.
These words made Tang Zhen's face darken, but he quickly recovered and solemnly agreed.
"Our sect has trained a space soul master, enough to evade the Spirit Hall's spies."
However, his strength is ultimately somewhat lacking, and teleporting too many people over a long distance would be quite strenuous. Perhaps Sect Master Yu could contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and, with the help of Bone Douluo, teleport our sect's people out?
Tang Zhen revealed a method, knowing full well the limitations of his own spatial spirit master. It was already quite difficult for him to send himself out alone, let alone send out all the titled Douluo in the sect. He would be exhausted and unable to do so.
The only person in the entire world with such means and strength is the Bone Douluo who has submitted to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"I will leave this matter to me. Sect Leader Tang, please make preparations in your sect. When the time is right, I will ask Bone Douluo to come and rescue you."
Yu Yuanzhen assured them that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not refuse, since they would suffer no loss and it would increase the chances of the plan succeeding. Given the cautious nature of those old guys in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they would not refuse.
Not to mention that Tang Zhen's appearance also set the stage for the plan to destroy the Sword Sect. Once the Sword Sect is destroyed, the status of the three upper sects will be solidified.
This is a win-win situation.
However, what neither of them knew was that several miles away, on a large tree, a Title Douluo with an eagle-type martial soul looked on with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
"Tang Zhen?"
He was in charge of monitoring the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He had previously discovered that Yu Yuanzhen had secretly left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's temporary base and come here.
He had guessed there was some big gossip going on, but he never expected that Yu Yuanzhen was actually having a secret rendezvous with Tang Zhen.
When did those two get together?
He was puzzled, but didn't think too much about it. Once he confirmed it was Tang Zhen, he left decisively.
All we need to know is that Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Zhen were in secret contact. What they discussed is not important; professionals will analyze it once the news is sent back.
This intelligence was quickly relayed back to Wuhun City, and Qian Daoliu and the others took it very seriously.
"Does Tang Zhen want to get involved? Is it to profit from the plan to destroy the Vajra Sect? Or does he want to invite the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to destroy the Sword Sect?"
After being summoned to the meeting, Qian Xunji read the intelligence and immediately guessed the purpose of the two parties' secret rendezvous.
Actually, it wasn't hard to guess. The two companies could only scheme for so little, so it was easy to guess.
"Should we take this opportunity to chop off the claws that the Haotian Sect has reached out?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo was filled with murderous intent. Although they needed to leave the Clear Sky Sect to be used as leeks for Xiao Haozi to nurture the Clear Sky Divine Sword, it was not impossible to harvest a batch in advance.
Chapter 402 Imagination Determines the Limits
"It's certain that we'll take this opportunity to weaken the Clear Sky Sect, but we can't let our Spirit Hall do it. Only the Vajra Sect can do it. Our Spirit Hall absolutely cannot get involved before the final battle is over."
After some thought, Qian Xunji proposed restrictions. The Vajra Sect's plan was of utmost importance and absolutely could not reveal any flaws. Otherwise, if some people became suspicious, there would be endless trouble in the future, and it might even affect their God-Slaying Plan.
"Old crocodile, how's your earth attribute training going?"
Qian Daoliu suddenly looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo. His grandson-in-law had given a general outline of the plan before leaving, and the old crocodile was the key to it.
"That's not called earth attribute, it's the power of the earth."
Golden Crocodile Douluo corrected him, but his mouth was practically stretched to his ears with a smug grin.
He was originally of the metal element, and after using the power of the lightning tribulation in the Thunder Pool to cultivate the metal element to its limit, making him no less capable than Xiong Jun in the past, he switched to cultivating the earth element, which could complement the metal element.
And with the help of his grandson's wild ideas, he used the earth power in the blood and soul power of the Titan Ape to first cultivate the earth attribute soul power into earth soul power, and then cultivate and transform it into earth power, which was not much worse than his own Vajra soul power.
"My second attribute is also cultivated as earth attribute. I'm just a little short of completely transforming into the power of the earth. The next period of time should be enough to complete the transformation, which will make up for the gap between my second brother's earth power and Vajra soul power."
My Soul-Shattering Heaven-Slaying Roar can also merge with Xiao Haozi's Dragon Roar Technique, further increasing its power.
The fourth elder, Lion Douluo, spoke up immediately. His second attribute was also earth-attribute earth soul power, and he was transforming into earth power, so he could participate in this plan.
"You all go to Tiandou immediately... Well, meet up with Xiao Haozi in Xuefeng City and start cultivating soul power fusion right away, try to increase the degree of soul power fusion as much as possible."
With a satisfied nod, Qian Daoliu gestured for Golden Crocodile Douluo to go ahead first.
It's time to wrap this up!
"I'll go right now!"
Without delay, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Lion Douluo got up and walked outside. They went straight to Qian Ruyi, who was teaching her daughter to cultivate. After explaining their purpose, they used Qian Ruyi's second martial soul and the power of her divine kingdom to instantly teleport to Sunset Forest.
Without lingering, he used the angelic power he had gained from the previous angelic trial to manipulate light and become invisible, concealing his aura as he silently infiltrated Snow Peak City and found the two demon-slaying figures, Qianjun and Jiangmo, who were hiding inside.
