"Grandpa, I really have no interest in the sea!"
Dugu Yan frowned deeply. Ever since leaving Yu Tianheng, she had been extremely unhappy.
In the past, Dugu Bo would have likely compromised upon seeing her like this.
But now, not only did Dugu Bo not compromise, he was unusually firm.
"No, you like it!"
Dugu Yan: "..."
If Yu Tianheng were here, she might have liked it, but...
"Yanyan, Grandpa is old and doesn't know how much longer he can accompany you."
"Just accompany Grandpa to see the sea. It won't take much time."
If being firm didn't work, he would play the emotional card.
Dugu Bo didn't believe that Dugu Yan would remain unmoved!
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was slightly stunned. She had never really considered this issue before.
Grandpa is old...
Indeed, who knows how much longer he has to live.
Dugu Bo only had her as his sole remaining family. If even she didn't accompany him, wouldn't that be heartless?
Thinking this, Dugu Yan reluctantly nodded.
Even though he was a Titled Douluo, and bringing someone along wouldn't take much time to reach the coastal city, Dugu Bo was in no hurry. He walked slowly, and by the time they arrived at the coastal city, two months had passed.
During this time, the Spirit Hall had almost gathered all the major and minor sects across the Douluo Continent.
For most sects and forces, aligning with the Spirit Hall was a very good thing, so there weren't many violent incidents.
Only some sects that had grudges or even hatred towards the Spirit Hall refused to join.
For these forces, the Spirit Hall temporarily took no action to avoid alerting them.
First, deal with the stronger ones, then the weaker ones. This way, efficiency would be higher, and losses would be minimized.
Spirit City, Pope's Hall.
The Pope's Hall was extremely quiet at this moment. Even though dozens of people were present, it was as silent as a pin drop.
Their decision today would completely change the landscape of the entire Douluo Continent. Hence, they were extremely cautious, fearing that one wrong step would make them eternal sinners.
After a long while, still no one spoke, but Bibi Dong, seated on the Pope's throne, was in no hurry.
Regardless of the outcome, it needed to be done.
"Pope, esteemed elders."
As the Pope's right-hand man, Yue Guan finally stepped forward.
He knew that if this matter failed, the blame would likely fall on him.
"Elder Yue is a wise strategist. Your words must have merit. Please enlighten us, Elder Yue."
First, praise Yue Guan to get him to step forward and take the blame.
After all, a few nice words wouldn't hurt.
Yue Guan's eye twitched. This person usually didn't have a great relationship with him, but now they were acting like this...
Though only one person, they had eight hundred schemes in mind.
"Then I'll share my thoughts. If there are any mistakes, I hope the elders can correct me."
Everyone nodded but remained silent.
"In my opinion, we should simultaneously attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. If we only attack one sect, by the time the other reacts, it would take several times the effort to attack them."
This was something everyone understood, but they lacked someone to propose it.
With Yue Guan bringing it up, everyone quickly nodded.
"As expected of Elder Yue, I agree!"
"Agreed!"
No one disagreed.
"Since Elder Yue proposed it, then..."
Before this person could finish, Yue Guan spoke first, "Yu Yuanzhen's strength is formidable. If he counterattacks when cornered, the losses would be severe."
"Let me and Lao Gui deal with Yu Yuanzhen."
Everyone: "..."
They all knew what Yue Guan meant and why he said it.
Wasn't it because the Body Sect was near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?
Yue Guan was afraid, but weren't they too?
"Elder Yue is right!"
"???"
Seeing Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard agreeing with Yue Guan, everyone was filled with questions, utterly confused.
"Yu Yuanzhen's Dragon Transformation Technique is used flawlessly. If he counterattacks when cornered, he might severely injure Elder Yue and Elder Gui."
"Why don't the four of us attack together for mutual support?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood!
These two weren't planning to refute Yue Guan but to join in!
"We..."
"If all of you go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, what about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?"
Bibi Dong's eyebrows furrowed as she spoke with great authority.
Hearing this, the remaining people could only reluctantly accept the arrangement.
There was no choice; they had reacted too slowly.
Originally, they wanted to push Yue Guan and Gui Mei to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan side, but...
For this battle, some of the smaller sects were quite eager. They had just joined the Spirit Hall and now had an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. How could they not be thrilled?
Especially Hu Yanzhen, who even offered to have the Elephant Armored Sect lead the charge!
Leading the charge was the most dangerous. If not careful, even Soul Douluo and Soul Sage-level experts could perish.
Hu Yanzhen didn't care about that. He believed his disciples could withstand this pressure and thus make meritorious deeds.
The Spirit Hall acted with great efficiency.
Since they were going to attack the two sects, they quickly mustered thirteen thousand "soldiers."
Eight thousand would attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and five thousand would attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's strength was greater, so more Spirit Masters were allocated to deal with them.
According to the Spirit Hall's records, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, including its direct lineage, had three thousand Spirit Masters.
Thus, it was eight thousand against three thousand.
As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it had two thousand Spirit Masters.
Five thousand against two thousand.
They sent more than double the numbers to ensure victory!
Not only was there an overwhelming advantage in lower-tier combat power, but there was also a strategic balance in high-tier combat power.
Dealing with the old dragon were Gui Mei, Yue Guan, Ghost Leopard, and Demon Bear, four Titled Douluo.
Apart from Demon Bear, the other three were all above level 95.
Ghost Leopard was level 95, Gui Mei level 96, and Yue Guan level 96!
As for Yu Yuanzhen, he was only a level 95 Titled Douluo.
The Titled Douluo sent to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were relatively more numerous.
Not only were there Chen Xin and Gu Rong, two Titled Douluo, but also to ensure a swift victory!
Ning Fengzhi had hidden well. To this day, no one knew he had also broken through to the Titled Douluo level.
If the Spirit Hall knew he had reached Titled Douluo, they would have sent even more people!
Time passed, and one night, a murderous aura shattered the peace of the night.
Gui Mei, Yue Guan, and the others didn't sneak into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Instead, they surrounded the entire sect from four directions.
"Birthday celebration?"
Indeed, today was Yu Yuanzhen's birthday. Almost all the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had returned.
At this moment, they were all drunk, but the smell of blood in the air sobered them up.
"Old dragon, happy birthday. We've come to send you off!"
