Soto City, Qibao Auction House, an elegant and quiet room.
The delicate fragrance of agarwood permeates the air.
Four figures sat around a round table, each with a different expression.
“Old gorilla, every time I see you, you seem to be getting stronger and stronger.”
A slightly high-pitched voice rang out; it was Bai He, the slender patriarch of the Min clan.
He looked at the elderly man opposite him, who was as tall and muscular as a mountain.
It was Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan.
Titan grinned, his voice booming like a bell.
"That's natural."
"Unlike some old guys, they'd fall apart at the slightest breeze."
The white crane gave a light snort, which was taken as a response to Titan's teasing.
"Hehe, you're still so blunt."
Another man with a calm face and a sturdy build spoke up; he was Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan.
"It's been almost half a year since we last got together."
Niu Gao's gaze swept over the crowd, his tone tinged with emotion.
"I wonder what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is up to this time."
Baihe picked up the teacup and took a small sip.
"What kind of medicine could there be?"
"They're just after us old bones, or our meager savings."
His tone carried a subtle hint of sarcasm.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so powerful and wealthy, would they even bother with something as small as ours?"
Titan shook his head and retorted.
"It's hard to say."
Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po clan who had been silent all along but whose eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, finally spoke.
His voice was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.
"This continent is not peaceful now."
"This battle between the two empires doesn't seem like it's going to end easily."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sudden summons of us is probably not a simple business collaboration."
Niu Gao pondered for a moment.
"Do you mean I want our four major clans to be merged into them?"
"You know what, I think it might not be a bad thing if we could merge into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Bai He suddenly spoke, a shrewd glint in his eyes.
"oh?"
Titan and Niu Gao both looked at him with some surprise.
Yang Wudi remained expressionless, only slightly raising his eyelids.
"Think about it, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the three upper sects, a prestigious and renowned family."
"Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi is renowned for his virtue and conduct, which inspires confidence and respect."
The white crane analyzed the situation calmly and unhurriedly.
"More importantly, you are all aware of the current predicament of our four major families."
"The martial spirit has been passed down, but the clan's situation is becoming increasingly difficult. The younger generation lacks cultivation resources, and there is a shortage of successors."
"If we can get the protection and resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we may be able to find a new way out for our family."
Upon hearing this, Niu Gao's eyes also revealed a hint of interest.
"What Lao Bai said makes some sense."
“Over the years, it has indeed become increasingly difficult for us to maintain our existing business.”
Titan sighed heavily, slamming his large, fan-like hand on the table with a dull thud.
"well!"
"Back in the day, how powerful the Haotian Sect was."
"If Brother Tang Hao were still here..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
"shut up!"
Yang Wudi slammed his hand on the table, a terrifying glint flashing in his eyes.
"Titan! If you dare mention that name again, don't blame me, Yang Wudi, for turning against you!"
His chest heaved violently.
"Haotian Sect! Tang Hao!"
"Who is to blame for the fact that our four single-attribute clans have fallen to this state?"
"Back then, the Haotian Sect simply gave an order to retire without a second thought. Did they ever care about our lives?"
"Tang Hao has implicated the entire sect and our affiliated families all because of a woman!"
"I, Yang Wudi, will remember this grudge for the rest of my life!"
The atmosphere in the quiet room instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Titan opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words, his face full of complex emotions.
Niu Gao and Bai He exchanged glances, not daring to respond easily.
They were all aware of Yang Wudi's obsession.
"Alright, alright, old goat, let's not talk about the past anymore."
Baihe tried to smooth things over and ease the tension.
"Let's think about the present."
"Even if what was said earlier is true, and we merge into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Niu Gao continued, his voice somewhat low.
"The four of us old guys can still stick together."
"Four Soul Douluos would be a force to be reckoned with anywhere on the continent."
These words caused a glint to appear in the eyes of the other three.
Indeed, their individual clans may have already declined.
However, when the four clan leaders join forces, they are still a top-tier fighting force.
Just then, the door to the quiet room was gently pushed open.
A tall, slender figure walked in, a gentle smile on his face.
It was Ningliu.
Behind him, Xu Jiushi stood like an iron tower, and the invisible pressure changed the atmosphere in the quiet room once again.
The four clan leaders almost simultaneously stopped talking and turned their gazes toward the newcomer.
"Junior Ning Liu greets the four seniors."
Ning Liu bowed slightly, displaying impeccable manners.
"You're too kind, Master Ning."
Titan spoke first, his tone relatively calm.
Niu Gao grinned, which was his way of greeting him.
Bai He narrowed his eyes, carefully examining this young disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who had already stirred up trouble in Soto City.
Yang Wudi remained silent, his face still cold.
