Furthermore, the fact that Tang Lan could so easily mold someone as powerful as him is enough to prove just how strong he is.

Even as a level 94 Title Douluo, he couldn't sense the slightest aura emanating from Tang Lan.

That profound feeling, as if one were shrouded in mist, made Zhuo Er feel that Tang Lan was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

"Now, do you still think I'm not worthy to lead the Tang Clan to destroy the Mad Lion Sect?"

"In my opinion, the Mad Lion Sect is nothing more than a small sect that can be wiped out at any time!"

"Now recall all the spies you've sent to the other locations, and take me to the strongholds of the other two factions."

"Tonight we will take advantage of the darkness to wipe out the forces of Zizhu Pavilion and Fengyue Tower outside one by one."

Tang Lan looked at Zhuo Er and the three Soul Douluos from the former Mad Lion Sect, and gave the order.

The group exchanged glances, then began to take out a map and point and draw on it.

Half an hour later, a large number of Soul Masters began to ride down the mountain from Yangjiao Mountain.

Three Soul Douluos formed one team, Zhuo Er led a group of subordinates from Yangjiao Mountain in another team, while Tang Lan and the others formed a third team, and they began to head towards the six predetermined target locations.

To eliminate the forces planted by the three sects in the outside world in a short period of time, a joint all-out attack must be launched under cover of night.

Tonight, the Tang Sect Palace has recruited five Soul Douluos and one Title Douluo, greatly enhancing the Tang Sect's strength.

Even without Tang Lan's intervention, he already possesses the strength to single-handedly destroy the Mad Lion Sect.

Yuan Yan and Zhuo Er are level 93 and 94 respectively. So what qualifications does the Mad Lion Sect Master, a level 94 Title Douluo, have to fight against the Tang Sect?

That night, battles broke out in all directions within a hundred miles of Lüyuan City.

Some forests were already ablaze with flames, while in other places even the small rivers had been dried up by the powerful fire.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, everyone from Shrek Academy had successfully returned to Gezi's room.

Upon entering the city, the people from the city lord's mansion had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, and the group returned to the city smoothly.

The city lord knew about this matter, but he could only pretend not to know.

Being able to do all this already counts as him secretly protecting the Tang Clan.

Soon, the news spread throughout Lüyuan City, and teahouses and restaurants were in an uproar.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? Something really big happened last night!"

A man reeking of alcohol sat at the table, looking at his three friends sitting opposite him, and said excitedly.

"The news has already spread, how could we not know?"

"The Mad Lion Sect, Purple Bamboo Pavilion, and Wind and Moon Pavilion are usually extremely domineering and often bully weaker forces. Today, they have really bitten off more than they can chew."

"Today, Yuan Yan, the titled Douluo of the Tang Sect, announced that he will reclaim the several city branches that were taken away by the three forces."

"And another thing, Zhuo Er, the leader of Yangjiao Mountain, along with his men, including four Soul Douluos, all surrendered to the Tang Sect."

"Not only that, but Zhuoer actually announced that he was already a Title Douluo. Now the Tang Sect has two Title Douluos and no less than eleven Soul Douluos."

I believe that in the near future, even more powerful individuals will come seeking to join the Tang Sect.

A person next to him spoke with equal excitement, while also giving a brief introduction of himself.

The scholar-like man diagonally opposite laughed and said, "Why don't we give it a try? It's said that the Tang Clan's rules are very simple and never restrict the freedom of Soul Masters."

"Tch, who do you think you are? We're just Soul Venerables, and at this age, we have no hope of breaking through to a higher realm."

Upon hearing this, the others around him simultaneously booed, while also expressing some regret and emotion.

Clearly, becoming a high-level Soul Master is an extremely difficult level to achieve for anyone.

Because most people probably won't be able to break through to level 50 Soul King in their entire lives.

However, a burly man carrying a sword in the corner was slightly tempted after hearing this. He threw down a few soul coins on the table and then turned to leave.

This caused the people at the table to stare at each other wide-eyed, wondering if this guy had overheard their conversation and was going to register with the Tang Sect.

"The Tang Clan and these three forces are bound to have a major battle. We should avoid going out alone during this period to avoid being caught in the crossfire."

"Although the Tang Sect has risen to prominence, the three sects have developed for many years and cannot be easily destroyed. This battle between the two sides will surely shake the entire Soul World."

The three whispered among themselves and dared not speak loudly again.

Meanwhile, people at the other tables around were also talking about it.

Clearly, the Tang Clan's massive operation last night has become a hot topic of conversation among everyone. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 963 On the eve of the war

at the same time,

In a private room on the fourth floor of Chunyanlou.

Honglian and the others all returned, including Yuan Yan and Zhuo Er, and sat at the huge long table.

Tang Lan and Tang Ya sat in the main seats. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Lan smiled and said, "I didn't expect everyone to be back so soon!"

"Now let me report on everyone's progress!"

These words immediately sparked a brief conversation among the people below, before returning to silence.

Honglian was the first to stand up and say, "The high-ranking members of the Green Snake Gang who colluded with the Purple Bamboo Pavilion to seize our Tang Clan's supplies have all been dealt with by us. Only one elder from that branch is temporarily in charge of the gang's affairs."

"Before I left, I also fed him a poison, and I believe he would not dare to disobey our orders."

Although Honglian's expression was calm when she said these words, everyone present felt a chill.

No one knew what Honglian meant by "all the higher-ups have been dealt with".

Perhaps it's above Soul Douluo, or above Soul Saint, or even above Soul Emperor.

However, in everyone's opinion, the probability of him being at least a Soul Emperor is already very high.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but gasp, thinking to themselves that Honglian was too ruthless; how many people had she killed in one night?

However, upon further reflection, everyone understood.

The three forces were determined to kill Yunshang Yaju, and even sent a titled Douluo to deal with it.

If it weren't for Tang Lan and the others, their entire Cloud Residence would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Even though they were not completely destroyed, the three forces treated the other city branches of Yunshang Yaju with extremely cruel methods.

Although the evacuation was timely, many people still fell victim to the malicious acts of the three forces.

This grudge has always been etched in Qiu Honglian's mind, and now that she has the opportunity, she naturally wants to avenge it.

In her view, none of the Soul Masters from the three factions could escape their crimes.

In order not to put Tang Lan in a difficult position, she only ordered the elimination of high-level Soul Masters.

Seeing that no one responded, Honglian continued, "Starting this morning, all fifteen of our supply convoys within a hundred miles have resumed operations."

"We will send half of the Soul Masters to escort them, and we will even send Soul Douluos to patrol the area."

Honglian reported on the situation of the Tang Clan today, and also explained the decision she had made on the spot.

This did not surprise anyone present.

Even if she can't mobilize other people, she still has the authority to mobilize the Contra of Cloud Residence.

"Yes, you did a great job!"

"However, I believe that the three forces will definitely not sit idly by and wait for their doom. They will launch a general offensive against us within seven days!"

"Because our power has risen so quickly, it would be terrifying for anyone to see."

Tang Lan seemed to have read what everyone was thinking, so she smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in unison.

Everyone agreed with Tang Lan's view that they would definitely make a move within seven days.

They absolutely will not stand by and watch the Tang Clan's strength gradually surpass the combined strength of the three forces; by then, it will truly be too late.

Hou Li, who was standing to the side, also spoke up: "We also wiped out a small gang in the area we were in charge of, and brought back all the supplies they had used to solve their problems."

Zhuo Er also said, "We have completed the mission and captured a top-quality unicorn, which is more endurance and faster than ordinary horses for stamina."

This statement immediately attracted the attention of everyone around, and everyone stared wide-eyed.

They all looked at Zhuo Er with disbelief, as if to say, "Where did you get this? Why can't we get it?"

Zhuo Er couldn't stand the stares of everyone, so he finally explained, "Our target, the Black Tiger Merchant Guild, used to be our mortal enemy. We already know exactly what they are."

"Since they have chosen to attach themselves to the Mad Lion Sect, we naturally have no reason not to take action."

Finally, Zhuo Er gave everyone an elegant smile.

But in everyone's eyes, this guy was an outright schemer.

It seems that Zhuo Er has been eyeing the other party's wealth for quite some time now.

Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Yuan Yan then said, "In the past three days, a constant stream of Soul Masters have wanted to join us. Because the number is too large, I cannot make a decision on my own. So I can only wait for the two sect leaders to return before making a decision."

"This is the list of Soul Masters who have wanted to join our Tang Sect in the past three days. I have already ordered people to sort them according to their cultivation level."

"The following is some basic information about them."

Tang Lan glanced at the roster Yuan Yan produced and a look of astonishment flashed across her face.

One theory is that the entire roster, spanning dozens of pages, is dedicated to the other party.

However, it was soon proven that Tang Lan's guess was correct; the dozens of pages in that roster were all filled with Soul Masters who wanted to join the Tang Sect.

But the very first page has the fewest names, with only four.

That is, four Soul Douluo powerhouses.

After glancing at him, Tang Lan suddenly let out a soft exclamation and said, "This person is actually a food-type Soul Douluo. He is a talent worth cultivating."

Most food-type Soul Masters have been recruited by the major empires at great expense, and it is rare to see high-level food-type Soul Masters outside.

However, this food-type Soul Master today moved Tang Lan to tears.

His name is Takahashi, an 80th-level food-type Soul Douluo, and his martial soul is Sweet Orange.

However, the oranges this guy used varied in size and color, resulting in vastly different effects.
