Just as they were discussing, Ning Fengzhi walked over...
He didn't mind about the previous incident of the training ground being destroyed, and with a smile, he invited, "Esteemed elders, what are you discussing? It's almost noon, why not join me for a meal?"
Upon hearing these words, the guest elders halted their discussion and turned their gaze towards Gold Crocodile Douluo...
Ning Fengzhi was a bit puzzled, "Gold Crocodile Elder, what's happening here?"
Why were all these elders looking at him...
Jincroc Elder, facing Ning Fengzhi's gaze, coughed lightly and said, "Sect Master Ning, thank you for Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's hospitality these days, but we have been here for a long time and must return to Worship Hall."
Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment, thoughtfully saying, "I see, indeed, you all are elders of the Worship Hall and cannot stay here indefinitely!"
"However, it's still early. Aren't you planning to say goodbye to Xu Sheng and the Martial Soul Hall's elite before leaving?"
Jincroc Elder sneered slightly, waving his hand, "There's no need, Xu Sheng will be returning to the Worship Hall with us; the eldest brother has something important to inquire about."
"As for the elite of Martial Soul Hall, hehe, their loyalty lies with the Pope Hall, not with us in the Worship Hall!"
His meaning was clear; essentially, these people were not part of the Worship Hall!!
So, there was no need to return together!
Ning Fengzhi, aware of the factions within Martial Soul Hall, nodded slightly, "I understand, then take a rest here while I go notify Xu Sheng!"
With that, he turned and left...
Not long after, Xu Sheng entered the room...
Seeing the elders present, he said, "Sect Master Ning has just informed me that the esteemed elders are preparing to return to Worship Hall?"
Jincroc Elder did not deny it, nodding in acknowledgment, "Yes, the eldest brother sent a message earlier, saying that after resolving the abyssal creatures' attack on Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, we should return to Worship Hall immediately!"
"Moreover, he wants to bring you along, as he seems to have some questions to ask you!"
Xu Sheng pondered for a moment, surprised, "Questions for me? Could it be that the Grand Elder has found a way to break through to god level?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's breathing became slightly heavy...
"Xu Sheng, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by the eldest brother finding a way to break through to god level?"
"Could it be... was that what you discussed with the eldest brother last time?"
"Hiss... Xu Sheng, you just mentioned finding a way, does that mean the eldest brother is very likely to break through to god level?"
"Impossible, with something so big, why has the eldest brother not mentioned it to us?"
Xu Sheng shook his head and explained, "Breaking through to god level is not that simple. Not only must one reach beyond Ultimate Douluo, but there also needs to be a divine position!"
"If one only reaches the previous level, becoming a god requires creating a Self-Created Divine Position, which is exceedingly difficult!"
Nonetheless, Jincroc Elder's gaze remained fixed on him, "But Xu Sheng, what you're saying doesn't necessarily mean the eldest brother will fail, right?"
Xu Sheng nodded, "Yes, there is indeed some possibility for the Grand Elder to break through to god level."
Qian Dao Liu, having reached the level of Ultimate Douluo, is actually not far from godhood!
But, it's merely a possibility!
Jincroc Elder calmed his excitement, "If that's the case, it's no wonder the eldest brother is so eager to see you. If he could break through to god level, Martial Soul Hall would not only become the strongest force on the Continent, but also have divine assistance in fighting the abyssal creatures!"
At this moment, Qianjun Douluo suddenly interrupted, "Uh, haven't we strayed from the topic? Weren't we discussing returning to Worship Hall?"
Xiao Long Douluo agreed, "Yes, Xu Sheng, are you coming back to Worship Hall with us? This Seven Treasures Glaze Sect has resolved the abyssal creatures' attack, so there's no meaning in staying here, right?"
Xu Sheng thought for a moment and quickly replied, "Since the Grand Elder has words to exchange with me, naturally, I must visit Worship Hall!"
"But before that, allow me to bid farewell to Sect Master Ning and the others."
...
Soon after, Xu Sheng left the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect along with Qianjun Douluo and the others...
Watching their departing figures, Chen Xin couldn't help but look at Ning Fengzhi, "Feng Zhi, shouldn't we try to keep them? If Xu Sheng were here, maybe these elders could stay a bit longer."
Gu Rong also saw the sense in it, "Hmm... although I loathe to admit it, the elders of Worship Hall, each one possesses formidable strength, and staying within the sect greatly enhances safety!"
Ning Fengzhi was somewhat tempted, but after thinking it over, he shook his head, "Let's forget it. The fact that Martial Soul Hall dispatched elite soul masters and elders to aid us already signifies considerable emphasis on their collaboration with our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
"If we were to use Xu Sheng to pressure them further, it would be ungrateful!"
Upon hearing this, traces of guilt appeared on Chen Xin and Gu Rong's faces...
Indeed, the previous idea was somewhat despicable!
However, it was all to protect the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!!
Ning Fengzhi seemed to see through their thoughts, comforting, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, there's no need for guilt; it's all for the sake of the sect!"
Just then, a disciple of Seven Treasures Glaze Sect hurried over...
"Sect Master, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, the casualty report of the disciples has been compiled!"
Saying this, he handed over the information...
Ning Fengzhi, upon receiving it, immediately had a dramatic change of expression...
He tightly gripped the document, and through gritted teeth, he said, "I didn't expect that even with the aid from the Three Sects, the royal household, and Martial Soul Hall, our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect disciples still suffered such severe losses!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong, somewhat puzzled, also looked over...
Upon seeing it clearly, their expressions changed dramatically...
"Hiss... such heavy casualties have occurred, perhaps greater than in any battle our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect has ever participated in!"
"Damn abyssal creatures, next time we encounter them, we must leave them with no place to bury their corpses!!"
Ning Fengzhi, trying to remain calm, said, "This grudge, our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect will remember, and in the future, we will make the abyssal creatures pay the price!"
"But for now, the battle has just ended, and there's a large accumulation of abyssal creatures and disciples' remains around the sect, which need to be promptly dealt with."
"Afterwards, we will have to rebuild the defenses!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong agreed with these words...
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and ordered the disciple beside him, "You, transmit my orders, let the disciples form into groups and quickly clean up the remains around the sect!!"
"As for erecting tombstones for the deceased disciples... that will have to wait for a while!!"
The latter naturally dared not show any defiance, promptly responding, "Yes, Sect Master!!"
