Chapter 294: Lin Qingmo Wants to Pull Up the Roots, Bibi Dong’s Heart Flutters Again
On the official road, the carriage moved forward steadily.
Late spring scenery flashed past the window frame; the official roads of the Heaven Dou Empire were flat and wide.
The black-gold carriage was of the exclusive Spirit Hall design, its body inlaid with dark patterns and possessing excellent shock absorption.
The wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs, making only the slightest sound.
The interior was lined with polar snow fox fur, the hair fine and soft.
In the corner, a gilded heater burned silver-thread charcoal, spreading warmth evenly.
A warm fragrance lingered around, completely isolating the noise and dust of the outside World.
Lin Qingmo leaned against the cushions, his fingertips lightly tapping his knee.
From the relief of Tang Hao being dealt with, his thoughts drifted to the hidden forces under the Clear Sky Sect.
Though Tang Hao was broken, his Foundation was not yet severed.
The forces he left in the shadows were still dormant within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Four Single-Attribute Clans were the most critical link among them.
In the established trajectory of the Douluo Continentoriginal work, these four clans would eventually become the four pillars of the Tang Sect.
They would serve Tang San devotedly, exhausting the strength of their entire clans.
They would use their own heritage to pave the way for Tang San to reach the summit.
But at this moment, they were still scattered in the shadows of the Heaven Dou Empire.
They were the loyal backup Tang Hao left in the World.
"Sister Donghuang, how much do you know about the Four Single-Attribute Clans, the former subordinate forces of the Clear Sky Sect?"
Lin Qingmo’s voice broke the silence in the carriage.
His tone was steady, yet it hid a trace of imperceptible sharpness.
The woman sitting opposite him lifted her fingertips slightly.
In her purple eyes, a faint luster flowed.
"The Four Single-Attribute Clans are the Strength, Speed, Breaking, and Defense Clans."
Bibi Dong’s voice was cold and clear, her words carrying the certainty of someone who knew the continent’s powers inside out.
"They were once the most loyal subordinates of the Clear Sky Sect, and the four sharpest blades under its command."
"Each clan cultivated a single attribute of spirit power to the extreme."
"Among Spirit Masters of the same attribute, they rarely met their match."
Her fingertips lightly brushed the scepter pendant at her waist as she continued.
"Back then, the Clear Sky Sect sealed its gates and completely cut ties with Tang Hao."
"These four clans also left the Sect system and scattered within the Heaven Dou Empire."
"To this day, they have been missing for over ten years."
Lin Qingmo was already well-acquainted with this past and these details.
He knew the trump cards and future of these four clans better than anyone else in this World.
He also knew what kind of astonishing power would erupt once these four clans were gathered.
Tai Tan of the Strength Clan is a pure strength-type Spirit Master, a Spirit Douluo.
With the Great Force ApeSpirit, his brute strength suppresses those of the same rank.
He is Tang Hao’s most loyal servant; the entire clan follows Tang Hao’s orders.
The clan passes down top-tier Casting Techniques, which are the Foundation for the Tang Sect to create Hidden Weapons.
Bai He of the Speed Clan possesses the Needle Tailed SwiftSpirit, having cultivated extreme speed to the pinnacle.
All Spirit Masters in the clan excel in speed, making them the top intelligence-gathering force on the continent.
Even Spirit Hall’s intelligence network finds it difficult to fully track their movements.
Bai He is related to Tang Hao and treats Tang San as his own.
Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan wields the Soul Breaking SpearSpirit, with attack power unrivaled among his peers.
His spirit power is pure and overbearing; even facing a Titled Douluo, he dares to fight head-on.
The clan passes down the Arts of Refining Medicine and Making Poisons, possessing a deep heritage.
He is fiercely loyal to the Clear Sky Sect and harbors deep hatred for Spirit Hall due to past Sect matters.
Niu Gao of the Defense Clan possesses the Plate Armor Giant RhinoSpirit and is an extreme defense-type Spirit Master.
His defensive Spirit Abilities are perfected; Spirit Masters of the same rank find it hard to break his defense in the slightest.
The clan is proficient in the Art of City Defense Construction; more than half of the military fortresses in the Heaven Dou Empire were built by them.
Because the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates back then, the entire clan was displaced, yet they still hold old feelings for Tang Hao.
These four forces might not amount to much if taken individually.
But once integrated and gathered by Tang San, supplemented by Tang Clan Hidden Weapon...
Before long, they could pull together a force sufficient to shake the continent’s landscape.
That would be the Tang Sect that would later become famous throughout the continent.
It would also be one of Spirit Hall’s strongest rivals in the future.
"You suddenly ask about this—could it be that you have designs on these four clans?"
Bibi Dong’s gaze swept over him, a hint of understanding flashing in her purple pupils.
She knew this young man too well.
He never spoke without purpose; every word hid a meticulous plan.
"That’s right, I do have designs on them."
Lin Qingmo did not hide it at all, speaking bluntly.
"These four clans may seem to have left the Clear Sky Sect, but in reality, they never truly belonged to it."
"From beginning to end, they only recognize Tang Hao."
He leaned forward slightly, his tone carrying the coldness of wanting to pull up the roots.
"These people are all Tang Hao’s hidden loyalists."
"Leaving them be will sooner or later become a major problem."
Even though Sister Donghuang had already crippled Tang Hao’s arm and leg, causing his Cultivate to drop by twenty levels...
As long as these four clans remained, Tang Hao would have the Foundation to make a comeback.
Tang San could also use the power of these four clans to quickly gain a foothold and accumulate strength.
To pull up the weeds, one must remove the roots.
Lin Qingmo understood this logic better than anyone.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with his judgment.
She had already intended to uproot Tang Hao’s remaining forces.
Leaving no future trouble behind.
Back then, these four clans stood with the Clear Sky Sect against Spirit Hall; it was time to settle the old scores.
"By the way, Sister Donghuang, there’s one more thing you’ll definitely be interested in."
Lin Qingmo changed the subject, throwing out the bargaining chip most likely to move Bibi Dong.
"The Speed Clan hides an Immortal Herb called the crystal dragon blood ginseng."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bibi Dong, who had been leaning against the carriage wall, sat up slightly straighter.
A sharp light flashed in her purple pupils.
"crystal dragon blood ginseng?"
She repeated the name, her tone carrying a trace of imperceptible emotion.
"That’s right."
Lin Qingmo nodded in response.
A coldness entered Bibi Dong’s gaze.
"With this Immortal Herb, it seems the four clans are more valuable than I expected."
With this Immortal Herb right in front of her, she had no reason to let it go.
Moreover, the Four Single-Attribute Clans were originally Tang Hao’s remnant forces and should have been thoroughly cleaned out anyway.
"The Four Single-Attribute Clans have been hiding within the Heaven Dou Empire all these years."
"Relying on the tacit approval of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, they have never respected Spirit Hall."
A trace of cold killing intent entered Bibi Dong’s voice.
Previously, she thought they couldn’t cause much trouble and didn’t bother with them.
Now it seemed she had been negligent.
Since they were Tang Hao’s forces, and A-Qing had spoken...
Bibi Dong’s expression turned cold, and she said indifferently, "Then there is no need for these four clans to exist anymore."
Lin Qingmo was completely relieved.
With Sister Donghuang taking full action, the Four Single-Attribute Clans had no chance of turning the tables.
In the original work trajectory, Tang San was able to win over the four clans by relying on Tang Hao’s reputation and the temptation of Immortal Herb.
But now, Tang Hao was heavily injured and his cultivation had regressed.
The Immortal Herb were also all in Lin Qingmo’s hands.
Coupled with Sister Donghuang’s thunderous intervention...
It was impossible for these four clans to become Tang San’s help anymore.
Even less likely to build that Tang Sect which would become famous throughout the continent.
"A-Qing, after the crystal dragon blood ginseng of the Speed Clan is retrieved, I’ll leave it to you to handle."
Bibi Dong’s voice softened a bit.
Good things should naturally be given to A-Qing.
Lin Qingmo shook his head: "I have many Immortal Herb here; I don’t need it for now."
"Sister Donghuang, you should take it; it’s best if you consume it yourself."
"This thing is of great benefit to the Physical Body."
Lin Qingmo remembered this item was something that complemented the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red could protect the Soul, allowing a complete Soul to be stored even after death.
While the crystal dragon blood ginseng could allow the Physical Body to be reborn.
In the original work, Xiao Wu reshaped her Physical Body and repaired her Origin through the crystal dragon blood ginseng.
Bibi Dong was slightly stunned.
A trace of complex emotion flashed in her purple pupils.
Everyone in the World wanted to seek power and resources from her.
Everyone feared her, respected her, or hated and plotted against her.
Only the young man before her always thought only of giving her things.
He never asked for the slightest reward from her.
Nor had he ever felt the slightest distance because of her identity or methods.
A long-lasting warmth welled up in her heart.
She gazed at Lin Qingmo with a blurred expression.
A-Qing, oh A-Qing, how can you make me not want to devour you like this?
When Lin Qingmo wasn’t paying attention, Bibi Dong subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, suppressing the urge to turn into a spider and wrap him up.
