The three clan leaders, upon hearing Luo Yu's words,

were all dumbstruck.

He had slaughtered two deities?

That was utterly outrageous, completely beyond reason.

At their level, they had only heard legends of deities and knew very little about matters at the level of deities.

Even a Titled Douluo was beyond their reach, and they had to look up to an Ultimate Douluo.

And now, Luo Yu was telling them he had once slaughtered two deities?

Could a young man really accomplish such a feat?

Could this be an old monster who had regained his youth through profound strength?

Clan Leader Baihe and others felt their hearts skip a beat, looking at Luo Yu with apprehension.

Bai Chenxiang in the distance shared the same sentiment.

Could it be that she had been teased by an old demon in disguise?

Luo Yu noticed the odd looks around him and said speechlessly,

"What's with those looks?"

"Nothing... nothing at all," Elder Baihe's face trembled as he spoke.

"Oh? You don't think I'm some old demon, do you?" Luo Yu's eyes sharply locked onto him.

"No... not at all." Clan Leader Baihe took two steps back.

In front of others, he was the majestic leader of his clan, but in front of Luo Yu, he was extremely timid.

Luo Yu glared.

"Your face is saying otherwise."

"Rest assured, I am not some old demon who has regained youth."

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more astonished.

Clan Leader Titan thought that it would make more sense if Luo Yu were an old demon with such strength.

If a young man could achieve a level of power unprecedented in history, it'd be simply impossible.

Could their Sect Master be the reincarnation of a deity from the Divine Realm?

Clan Leader Titan's eyes suddenly lit up.

As if he had discovered the truth.

Yes, that must be it; otherwise, how could he explain their Sect Master's overwhelming power?

It was the only reasonable explanation.

In an instant, Clan Leader Titan's eyes were filled with admiration.

Little did he know that the deity he revered and feared was nothing in front of Luo Yu, who was destined to ascend to the Divine Realm.

At this time, Niu Gao swallowed hard.

He asked weakly,

"Are... are you sure you were not joking just now?"

"Really... you slaughtered two deities???"

Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders.

"'I am unrivaled under the heavens, if not to battle gods, then with whom shall I battle?'"

Words that almost sounded like a joke served to chill the hearts of those around him.

Arrogant!

Way too arrogant.

So arrogant that he doesn't seem to take any hero in the world into consideration.

Clan Leader Titan thought again, perhaps a man indeed has the right to be arrogant; no one else is worthy to point fingers at him—they can only chase after his shadow.

"Tat, tat, tat!"

The sound of a carriage arriving and coming to a halt could be heard outside the door.

An old warrior with a well-proportioned figure and emanating sharpness stepped in, followed by eight clan members exuding an aura of sternness, each carrying fine wine and gift boxes.

"Old White Crane, what have you done to the place? It looks like it's been torn apart," the elder asked as soon as he entered.

When he focused on the three golden mountains in the center of the courtyard, he was visibly stunned.

"Hahaha, Lao Yang, you're finally here. Now we're just waiting for you," Clan Leader Baihe greeted him with a smile.

The newcomer was Yang Wudi, the leader of the Break Clan.

His spear technique was astonishing, his destructive power ranked as the foremost among the Four Great Sects, and he was the most prestigious clan leader.

Yang Wudi pointed at the mess strewn about the yard and asked curiously,

"Old White Crane, did you come into some wealth, so you're tearing down your place to rebuild?"

"Eh... not at all,"

Clan Leader Baihe hesitated in his response, embarrassed to say that it was the result of Luo Yu's doing.

At this moment, Clan Leader Niu approached, laughing heartily as he clasped Yang Wudi's arm.

"Come, we three brothers want to tell you about a huge piece of good news."

"Huge good news? What good news," Yang Wudi's typically stern and haughty face registered confusion.

The Clan Leaders of the Four Great Sects gathered together, murmuring amongst themselves.

Luo Yu just stood to the side, arms folded, watching silently.

He didn't even glance in Bai Chenxiang's direction.

This led Bai Chenxiang to feel a bout of desolation. Could it be that he was just toying with me?

If Luo Yu knew what Bai Chenxiang was thinking in her heart,

He would surely exclaim aloud.

Slander! It must be slander.

I haven't even touched your hand, how could that be called toying with you!

"Scram!"

"What huge piece of good news, you three old coots are getting more muddled as you age,"

"Isn't this just surrendering, and you call that good news?"

Yang Wudi's aura burst forth, his temper flaring as he glared with his beard blowing, immediately sending the three unprepared Clan Leaders flying to one side.

He pointed at Luo Yu.

"No way, you don't mean to say that you want me to submit to this kid from now on, do you?"

"The Four Great Clans are branches of the same tree, and you three spineless things actually conspired behind my back to pledge allegiance to this wet-behind-the-ears kid."

"I want to ask you, what were you thinking?"

Clan Leader Niu Gao tried to calm him with a push of his hand:

"LaoYang, LaoYang, your stubborn temper is flaring up again."

"Just listen to me."

"Sect Master Luo Yu is absolutely a wise ruler, submitting to him is a great opportunity for our Four Great Sects."

Yang Wudi was immediately incensed.

"Opportunity, my ass."

"Even if I, Yang Wudi, die of hunger in the streets or get struck by lightning, I'll never bow down to some greenhorn kid."

"What virtues and abilities does this kid have to make the Four Great Clans deign to submit?"

Yang Wudi's glance fell upon three mountains of gold, and he immediately snorted:

"Hah, now I understand!"

"The three of you old fools haven't been bought off with money and treasures, have you?"

"Even though our Four Great Clans have fallen on hard times, have we ever sunk so low? Do you not understand that poverty cannot sway our spirits?"

Clan Leader Titan was not pleased.

"LaoYang, you have to be open to advice, or you'll regret it."

"At the very least you should let your old brothers finish speaking."

Clan Leader Baihe nodded and added, "Right, we wouldn't harm you. We have our reasons for doing this."

Clan Leader Niu Gao said, "To be honest with you, the three of us combined couldn't even withstand a single finger from the Sect Master."

"If you also have such strength, I'll kneel down and call you Daddy."

Yang Wudi glared fiercely.

"The three of you together, not a match for this kid's one finger?"

"I suspect you're pulling my leg, and I have plenty of reasons and evidence to believe so."

"You can't even make up a decent lie."

"Ask the people from the Clans around you, do they believe what you say?"

The surrounding Bai Family Clan Members and Father and Son of Taino nodded energetically, amusing Yang Wudi utterly.

"Good grief, have all of you been bought off by this kid's money?"

"Conspiring to fool me."

"Let me tell you, old brothers, you can be spineless all you want, but don't include me. I, Yang Wudi, have never slept for money, I only acknowledge the strong."

"To win my allegiance, this kid is far from it."

"LaoYang…" Clan Leader Niu started to speak.

"Clan Leader Niu, forget it. If he doesn't wish to, why force the issue? Just let him leave," Luo Yu finally spoke.

Yang Wudi felt offended, as if he had been disdained and looked down upon by a younger person.

He shouted angrily:

"Young man, give you an inch and you take a mile, you're putting on airs now huh?"

"LaoYang, do not disrespect the Sect Master!" The three Clan Leaders shouted simultaneously in admonishment.

"Gosh, our years of friendship don't stand a chance against a few bucks from this whippersnapper?" Yang Wudi, assuming the worst and feeling like a wounded beast.

He really couldn't fathom how the Four Great Sects, always united in spirit, had the three Clan Leaders conspiring behind his back to submit to some junior.
