Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi continued, "While our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family were under attack, many small and medium-sized sects were also attacked. These were all forces that usually opposed Spirit Hall, and unexpectedly, they all suffered devastating blows."
"Now, everyone in the Soul Master world is in danger, and Spirit Hall is almost capable of ruling the world."
Yang Xiong asked doubtfully, "Sect Leader, didn't we achieve a great victory in the Wu Lian War? Can't that curb Spirit Hall's current arrogance?"
A hint of bitterness appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. "Little Xiong, it's not that simple. Although we achieved a great victory, our overall strength is too far behind Spirit Hall, especially now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is struggling alone. We don't dare to openly confront Spirit Hall."
"Although Spirit Hall suffered heavy losses this time, all the Soul Masters had hidden identities. Even the bodies of the two Titled Douluo who fell were not left behind. If we truly tear off the facade, I'm afraid they won't send just four Titled Douluo next time."
"Although we were lucky to win this time, it was all due to our previous arrangements. Spirit Hall has gained experience this time. If they attack again next time, it will be truly dangerous."
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking, "Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
Ning Fengzhi said, "We have no other way now. Although we achieved a great victory in this battle, the rumors outside say that we suffered a crushing defeat, with countless casualties among the sect members. This is probably the effect Spirit Hall wants, to reduce the influence of our Upper Three Sects in the Soul Master world. In fact, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect no longer has the real strength to resist."
"However, I have already communicated with the Emperor Xue Ye. The Emperor Xue Ye has dispatched fifty thousand troops to be stationed five kilometers outside the sect, making it convenient for both sides to provide assistance at any time. These fifty thousand troops can be arranged and commanded by our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yang Xiong also felt a bit helpless upon hearing this. After all, Spirit Hall's strength was too great, especially their numerous Titled Douluo. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's ability to achieve a great victory this time was basically due to gathering the strength of all the top experts in the Heaven Dou Area.
One must know that Spirit Hall has seven great enshriners and nine great elders, not to mention the top expert Bibi Dong.
To truly contend with Spirit Hall, there must be peerless experts, which means finding experts who can contend with Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qian Daoliu. At least at this stage, there are no such people in the Soul Master world.
Yang Xiong carefully considered the current situation. "Sect Leader, what is the attitude of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family now? Prince Xue Beng shouldn't have died in vain, right?"
Ning Fengzhi said, "There are no clues pointing to Spirit Hall regarding Xue Beng's death. After Prince Xue Beng died, three of the Emperor Xue Ye's four princes have died, leaving only Xue Qinghe as the sole heir. Even if the Emperor Xue Ye has some reservations, without any evidence, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do."
"Although according to our analysis, Xue Qinghe is the biggest suspect, Xue Qinghe has been meticulous over the years, not revealing even a single clue. Moreover, Xue Qinghe has extremely high prestige among the common people and a very large influence."
"Xue Qinghe is even personally investigating the murderer, vowing to find the killer of Xue Beng and avenge his brother."
Yang Xiong smiled. "This is a bit interesting. Three of the Emperor Xue Ye's four princes have died. Even if Xue Qinghe is perfect, it will be difficult to shake off suspicion. The water in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is indeed deep enough."
Ning Fengzhi said helplessly, "I underestimated the cruelty of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's struggle for the throne before. It seems that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is indeed not suitable for getting too involved in the internal strife of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. The intricate struggles within the imperial family are even more unpredictable than those in the Soul Master world."
...
After a period of communication, Ning Fengzhi and the others left.
A smile appeared on Yang Xiong's lips. It seemed that although Spirit Hall's plan was meticulous, there was still a flaw.
Whether it was Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue, they were probably full of confidence in this Soul Hunting Operation, but they didn't expect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to win, and a great victory at that. This was equivalent to cutting off one of Qian Renxue's arms.
This time, Qian Renxue's risky killing of Prince Xue Beng was indeed timed very cleverly.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was severely damaged, or even annihilated, Qian Renxue's strength in the Heaven Dou Area would be unprecedentedly strong, especially since she had several Titled Douluo by her side.
At that time, Qian Renxue's strength would probably surpass that of the Emperor Xue Ye. Then Qian Renxue could command the feudal lords in the name of the emperor at any time. After all, the Emperor Xue Ye only had this one son left, and it was only natural for the Crown Prince to inherit the throne. No one could interfere with him.
Unfortunately, Qian Renxue miscalculated the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Not only did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect achieve a great victory, but Qian Renxue's own strength was weakened, and the fox tail she had hidden for many years was finally revealed.
Yang Xiong pondered for a while and couldn't help but laugh. "This is interesting. It seems that Qian Renxue will either continue to hide or risk launching a palace coup. But no matter which situation, she has lost the initiative and revealed her head. A poisonous snake that has shown its head is not that dangerous."
Yang Xiong seemed to think of something and quickly found Yang Wudi and Bai He.
"Elder Bai He, how is the monitoring of the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest now? I plan to go to the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible to hunt for my Seventh Soul Ring."
Bai He quickly said, "Sect Leader, according to our Agility Clan's investigation, a large group of people has recently entered the Star Dou Great Forest. The leader should be Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo, and judging by their appearance, they seem to be preparing to go to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Their strength is too formidable, and we don't dare to follow too closely."
"However, judging by their appearance, there are no Soul Masters who are at a bottleneck. I don't know why they are going to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Yang Xiong thought carefully. "It seems it's really as I expected. Such a large-scale group entering the Star Dou Great Forest should be to capture Xiao Wu, the hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast who escaped from Spirit City. It seems we need to speed up."
Bai He quickly said, "Sect Leader, are we going to compete with Spirit Hall for the hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "Although Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, a rabbit is not very useful to me. What I want are other Soul Beasts."
"However, Spirit Hall just attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If we don't give them some color to see, will they think we are easy to bully?"
"This is a perfect opportunity. The Elephant Armor Sect suffered heavy losses in the Star Dou Great Forest last time. It seems it should be Spirit Hall's turn this time. If we attack them together with two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, how many of the people Spirit Hall sent to the Star Dou Great Forest this time do you think will survive?"
Yang Wudi on the side was a little confused. "Sect Leader, what do you mean by that?"
A smile appeared on Yang Xiong's lips. "Since we are going to hunt hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts anyway, let's just kill these people from Spirit Hall along the way."
"Teacher Lin, Senior Dragon Duke, haven't you always wanted to take revenge on Chrysanthemum Douluo? This is a perfect opportunity. I want Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to be doomed. This way, we can truly cut off one of Bibi Dong's arms."
Lin Gong quickly said, "Little Xiong, if we move out in large numbers, the protection of the sect may be in some danger. It will be troublesome if something happens then."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Now there are fifty thousand troops from the Heaven Dou Empire outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so safety should be temporarily guaranteed. Moreover, Spirit Hall has suffered heavy losses this time, and they should not have the spare capacity to attack us. We will prepare as quickly as possible and set off immediately. In addition, I will ask Teacher Sword Douluo to take action together. This time, we must kill these two."
After hearing this, Lin Gong and Dragon Duke's eyes immediately became extremely fierce and serious. They had long wanted to take revenge on Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Yang Xiong immediately went to find Ning Fengzhi and explained his plan in detail.
After careful consideration, Ning Fengzhi decisively asked Sword Douluo to take action together, and even arranged for a Soul Saint with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, who was Ning Fengzhi's clansman, Ning Fengyuan.
Sword Douluo's eyes emitted bursts of cold light, and even his killing intent leaked out a little. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect achieved a great victory this time, they also suffered heavy losses, and the culprit for all this was Spirit Hall.
At this time, Spirit Hall wanting to hunt hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was definitely a rare opportunity.
After making some arrangements, the group prepared to quickly head to the Star Dou Great Forest.
This time, Yang Xiong brought a large number of people, including not only Sword Douluo and Ning Fengyuan, but also Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, Lin Gong, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, and Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang, as well as many experts from the Agility Clan, mainly to investigate the specific situation of Chrysanthemum Douluo and his group.
Among them, Ning Fengyuan was an elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul and seventy-fourth level Soul Power. He could be said to be an excellent support.
In addition, after hearing the news, Ning Rongrong also strongly requested to go with them. She and Xiao Wu had a very good relationship when they were at Shrek Academy. After five years of not seeing each other, she missed her very much.
Even Oscar, Qin Shuang, and Big Brother Yang Wei insisted on going together.
After repeated consideration, Yang Xiong simply decided to take them along to see the world's top Soul Beasts, let them broaden their horizons, and let them see some blood.
Oscar could provide food and support for everyone in the Star Dou Great Forest, especially his Flying Mushroom Sausage, which might have unexpected effects.
Big Brother Yang Wei and Qin Shuang were both at level fifty-nine, only a hair's breadth away from level sixty. Perhaps this time they could take the opportunity to help them break through and hunt for top Soul Beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even Ning Rongrong was a Soul Emperor. In terms of pure support ability, she performed extremely well in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and was basically a role model for the younger generation.
Moreover, with Sword Douluo present, the safety of these people could be guaranteed.
And Yang Xiong specifically arranged various tactics to deal with various unexpected situations, to ensure that this operation was foolproof and that no one was left alive.
A group of people quickly left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under the cover of night. Few people even within the sect knew of their departure, only thinking that these people were in seclusion to recuperate and recover from their injuries.
In fact, although the battle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time was tragic, everyone was not seriously injured. Under the treatment of the auxiliary Soul Saint, they basically recovered to their peak state in the past few days.
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Yang Xiong and his group didn't need to explore much and went straight to the Life Lake.
