Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

196: The Xiao clan held a meeting, and the Nine Heavens Alliance was established!The Grand Elder looked at Xiao Ze, his tone softening a bit: ”Since you have been elected as an Elder of the Little Pill Tower, follow me to the council hall. Matters of the Alliance should be settled in front of the ten Elders.”

Xiao Ze and Yao Lao followed closely, stepping into the ancient council hall carved with pill patterns.

The ten Elders sat on stone chairs on both sides, the atmosphere so solemn that even breathing was clearly audible.

The Grand Elder sat at the head, his gaze sweeping over everyone as he slowly began: ”The Pill Tower has been neutral for hundreds of years, and the ancestral teachings cannot be violated. However, the Hall of Souls is becoming increasingly rampant, daring to abduct Alchemists from even the Little Pill Tower in secret. Clinging to old rules now would be self-destruction.”

”Xiao Ze, tell us, what are the tangible benefits of the Alliance to the Pill Tower?”

Xiao Ze stood up, his voice steady yet penetrating: ”The Alliance is not about the Pill Tower resisting the Hall of Souls alone, but a joint effort of five parties: the Xiao Clan, Starfall Pavilion, Burning Flame Valley, Flower Sect, and the Pill Tower.”

”If the Hall of Souls dares to harm the Pill Tower in the slightest, the other four parties will immediately send troops to assist; conversely, if the Pill Tower stands by, waiting for other forces to be defeated one by one by the Hall of Souls, the Pill Tower will lose its protective screen and sooner or later become the next target for the Hun Clan to collect Souls.”

”Surely, the Elders haven’t forgotten the incident at the Pill Gathering when the Hall of Souls ambushed the competing Disciples, have they?”

These words struck a raw nerve with the Elders. The Elder who had lost his Personal Disciple to the Hall of Souls immediately slammed the table: ”Xiao Ze is right! Instead of waiting for death, it’s better to fight back proactively! I vote in favor!”

Another Elder, who had an old grudge with the Hall of Souls, also nodded: ”I also support the Alliance! We can’t let the Hall of Souls act so recklessly anymore!”

Seeing that five Elders already supported him, the Grand Elder finally nodded: ”Good, the Pill Tower will join the Alliance. In three days, I will personally lead Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi to the Xiao Clan to participate in the Alliance ceremony.”

After resolving the Pill Tower matter, Xiao Ze and Yao Lao returned to the Xiao Clan and Starfall Pavilion without delay.

For the next three days, the Xiao Clan was on high alert.

The Xiao Clan’s ancestral ”Myriad Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation” was set up at the mountain gate, five seats were arranged in the guest hall, and elite Disciples from the clan were stationed in the square outside the hall. Even the air was filled with a tense yet expectant Aura.

This was the first time the Xiao Clan had led the Formation of a cross-force Alliance after many years of silence.

Yao Lao, meanwhile, brought the core strength of the Starfall Pavilion to the Xiao Clan, almost emptying their entire resources.

Clearly, to counter the Hall of Souls and the Hun Clan behind it, the Starfall Pavilion had prepared for a tough battle.

On the morning of the fourth day, the Flower Sect arrived first.

Fairy Qing and Fairy Hua, dressed in emerald palace attire, led more than ten Core Disciples of the sect to the square. Fairy Qing looked at Xiao Ze, who was coming to greet them, and smiled as she cupped her hands.

”Clan Chief Xiao, the Flower Sect has arrived as promised. In this Alliance, our Flower Sect will provide full assistance.”

Xiao Ze quickly returned the greeting, leading them into the guest hall and serving them spiritual tea.

Before long, a scorching Aura emanated from the direction of the Burning Flame Valley. Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, accompanied by Tang Zhen and Tang Huo’er, appeared atop a crimson cloud of fire.

His red hair flew, and his laughter shook the surrounding leaves: ”Little Xiao, I’m here to support you! Those things from the Hall of Souls, those rats in the gutter, should have been dealt with properly long ago!”

As he spoke, he patted Xiao Ze’s shoulder, and the pressure of a one-star Dou Sheng expert in the Middle Stage made the surrounding Xiao Clan Disciples subconsciously hold their breath.

Xiao Ze smiled and led him to his seat, while Tang Huo’er curiously surveyed the Xiao Clan’s halls, her eyes full of novelty.
