54: Chapter 54 Breaking the Clan, Fragrant and Exquisite Immortal Item

Half a month later.

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Imperial City.

Ji Xuan flew by sword the entire way, stopping briefly for rest when passing through towns.

His goal for this trip was clear: to subdue the Breaking Clan that had once been attached to the Clear Sky Sect.

Among the four major clans, only the Breaking Clan held the most value for him.

Now that he had already taken control of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he naturally had to make the best use of it.

If he could subdue the Breaking Clan, he could utilize their alchemy skills to continuously earn gold coins.

The base of the Breaking Clan was located in the Western District of Star Luo Imperial City.

Many Spirit Master families gathered here, but unlike the imposing gates of other families, the entrance of the Breaking Clan appeared quite simple and archaic, with no flashy decorations on the black wooden doors.

A wooden plaque hung on the lintel, inscribed with the four vigorous characters for 'Breaking Clan'.

On both sides of the gate stood a guard, dressed in black leather attire, standing tall and straight like pines.

"This is the base of the Breaking Clan; outsiders are not permitted to enter without reason."

Seeing Ji Xuan approach, the guard on the left immediately stepped forward, raised his hand to block him, and said in a deep voice.

Ji Xuan stopped and smiled indifferently:

"Please trouble yourself to inform Clan Chief Yang Wudi that I have come with an item, one that he certainly will not refuse."

Hearing this, the guard scrutinized Ji Xuan carefully.

Seeing his calm demeanor and luxurious attire, he pondered for a moment before cupping his fists:

"Please wait a moment, let me go and inform him."

After speaking, he turned and trotted into the courtyard.

Before long, the sound of footsteps approached from afar.

An old man walked out quickly. His face was stern, and his figure was as straight as a javelin.

Most striking were his eyes, as sharp as a hawk's, which were currently fixed on Ji Xuan with a scrutinizing gaze.

He was none other than the Clan Chief of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi.

"Kid, you said you have something this old man cannot refuse?"

Yang Wudi walked up to Ji Xuan and stared straight at him with burning eyes.

Ji Xuan smiled slightly: "Clan Chief Yang, why don't we go inside to talk in detail?"

Yang Wudi thought for a moment, then stepped aside to clear the way: "Please."

Walking into the base, the courtyard was furnished simply, and the air was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

Ji Xuan followed Yang Wudi to the discussion hall, and the two took their respective seats.

Yang Wudi spoke up: "Now, can you tell me?"

Ji Xuan unhurriedly took a jade box out of his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.

"Clan Chief Yang, please take a look."

Ji Xuan opened the jade box, revealing a large, leafless, pale pink flower inside.

The stem was about three feet long, the petals were as crystal clear as water, and the stamen was pale purple, shaped like a purple diamond.

"This is!"

Yang Wudi jumped up from the main seat in shock and hurried to Ji Xuan's side.

He cautiously approached the jade box, examining the strange flower carefully, his eyes shining with disbelief.

"Hahaha, that's right! This is the Fragrant Silk Immortal Plant!"

Yang Wudi's eyes lit up, his expression excited.

This was the nemesis of all poisons; it had the ability to neutralize all toxins. While it couldn't cure poison on its own, it could suppress it.

For someone like him, who dealt with various medicinal herbs and poisons all year round, this was indeed something he could not refuse!

"Are you really going to give this to me?"

Yang Wudi couldn't help but breathe rapidly, his eyes never leaving the Immortal Plant.

"Of course, but..." Ji Xuan closed the jade box, his tone shifting, "I have a condition."

"What condition?"

Yang Wudi finally looked up, barely suppressing the excitement in his heart.

With such a precious Immortal Plant, the condition the other party proposed certainly wouldn't be simple.

"I want the Breaking Clan to follow me."

"This..." Yang Wudi was stunned, his brows furrowing slightly, "May I ask which faction you are from?"

"Spirit Hall."

As soon as these three words were spoken, Yang Wudi's expression darkened instantly.

He stepped back abruptly, a flash of ferocity in his eyes:

"You are actually from Spirit Hall! If it weren't for you people back then, my Breaking Clan wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Black light flashed in Yang Wudi's hand, the Soul Breaking Spear appeared, and his immense Soul Power erupted instantly.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—eight spirit rings appeared one after another.

However, just at this moment, Yang Wudi gave a muffled grunt, and the Soul Power around his body was forcibly pushed back into his body by an invisible force.

Gold Crocodile Douluo, who was in the shadows, did not even reveal himself; his mere presence was enough to render this Spirit Douluo unable to move.

Yang Wudi was terrified in his heart; the strength of this pressure was at least that of a Titled Douluo above level 95!

After Gold Crocodile Douluo withdrew the pressure, Yang Wudi was finally able to catch his breath, his chest heaving violently.

No wonder this youth dared to come alone and even took out the Immortal Plant directly.

It turned out the other party was completely fearless, and he had actually thought the other party was a reckless fool who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

"Clan Chief Yang, please calm down."

Ji Xuan's expression was calm, with a faint smile on his lips:

"Regarding what happened back then, the real culprit was Tang Hao, wasn't it?"

Ji Xuan's words caused Yang Wudi to tremble, the anger on his face instantly freezing.

Ji Xuan's tone was calm, but every word struck at his heart:

"If it weren't for Tang Hao's reckless actions, offending Spirit Hall first, how could it have implicated the entire Clear Sky Sect?"

"The Clear Sky Sect treated your four clans as abandoned pawns to protect themselves. Doesn't all of this stem from Tang Hao?"

Yang Wudi opened his mouth, but it eventually turned into a heavy sigh.

He had to admit that, compared to Spirit Hall, deep down he hated the betrayal of the Clear Sky Sect even more.

Had he, Yang Wudi, ever feared death?

If he could truly die in a blaze of glory, it would be a relief!

But back then, to protect itself, the Clear Sky Sect had treated the four major clans as abandoned pawns; this abandonment hurt far more than the enemy's blades.

And what pained him the most was that his son had also lost his life in that upheaval.

"Clan Chief Yang, have you considered it?"

Ji Xuan's voice pulled him back from his memories:

"I can give the Breaking Clan a chance to rise again."

"If you pledge loyalty to me, not only will you get this Immortal Plant, but you will also be able to regain your former glory."

"I came with sincerity today, not to use coercion or bribery."

"The choice is yours; if you refuse, I will leave immediately."

Yang Wudi's eyes were fixed on that jade box; inside was the Immortal Plant he had searched for most of his life, and now it was right before his eyes.

His fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and he struggled intensely within.

His clenched fists loosened and tightened again, finally turning into a long sigh.

"I agree."

"Very good, you will be glad for the choice you made today."

Ji Xuan handed over the Fragrant Silk Immortal Plant.

Yang Wudi took the jade box impatiently, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.

All the previous emotions were now replaced by the ecstasy of obtaining the Immortal Plant.

He opened the jade box and looked at the Immortal Plant in his hands, mesmerized.

"That... I still don't know your identity and how to address you?"

After a long while, he finally came back to his senses and asked.

"Ji Xuan. As for my identity, you will know in the future."

"Then I shall address you as Young Master for now."

Ji Xuan nodded slightly.

"Clan Chief Yang, I have a treasure land where medicinal herbs can grow at an accelerated rate, so I need your entire clan to relocate."

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Yang Wudi's eyes.

A place that could accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs was a dream treasure land for the Breaking Clan.

"I wonder where that place is."

"Heaven Dou Empire. It is not convenient to disclose the specifics for now, but I will accompany you when the time comes."

"Yes, Young Master." Yang Wudi bowed.

Yang Wudi suddenly remembered something and hesitated:

"That... Young Master, this old man has another presumptuous request."

"Go ahead."

"The other three major clans are also struggling now. I wonder if Young Master could..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the anticipation in his eyes said it all.

"The other two clans are easy to deal with, but for the Strength Clan, are you confident that you can get them to agree?"

Hearing this, Yang Wudi frowned deeply.

Indeed, the Strength Clan still recognized Tang Hao as their master to this day and were fiercely loyal to him.

"Young Master, I understand. I will only notify the other two clans."

"Rest assured, as long as you follow me with sincerity, I will not treat you poorly."

"Young Master is wise. This old man will write a letter immediately to invite them to come and talk."

After Yang Wudi withdrew, Ji Xuan stayed in the Breaking Clan's base for the time being.
