Upon hearing Zhuge Lan's name mentioned, Liu Erlong's heart skipped a beat.
That name, buried deep within her heart, reappeared.
Liu Erlong took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She quickly walked to the center of the group, her voice trembling slightly as she asked,
"Zhuge Lan, where is he now?"
Yu Kan Ye replied,
"There was no mention of Zhuge Lan's whereabouts, only that Spirit Hall captured his friend, Su Biluo."
Liu Erlong bit her lip, a complex light flashing in her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she said,
"We must help. Whether it's out of righteousness, or because... Zhuge Lan."
An Elder with a weathered face and a solemn expression frowned deeply, and said in a heavy tone,
"Erlong, at such a critical moment, we absolutely cannot act purely on impulse. Every one of us here is well aware of Spirit Hall's unfathomable strength."
"You must understand, once we completely fall out with Spirit Hall, our Clan will inevitably fall into an unprecedented disaster, suffering unbearable heavy losses, and possibly even facing annihilation."
Liu Erlong's gaze slowly swept across the hall, looking at the worried or hesitant faces, but the conviction in her heart did not waver in the slightest.
She straightened her back and said with firm eyes,
"Elders, I understand Spirit Hall's power and the risks involved. But if we shrink back today out of fear, how will we establish ourselves on Douluo Continent in the future? Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has always been known for justice and courage; are we to abandon our pride at this critical moment?"
"What's more, many years ago, Zhuge Lan was benevolent to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. When our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was at a life-or-death juncture, it was Zhuge Lan who extended a helping hand and saved us from dire straits. Now that our benefactor is in trouble, we absolutely cannot stand idly by!"
A brief silence fell in the hall as everyone pondered Liu Erlong's words.
At this moment, another Elder slowly spoke,
"Erlong also has a point. Spirit Hall has become increasingly arrogant and overbearing these past few years. If we continue to swallow our anger, they will only become more reckless. This rescue operation might be an opportunity for us to give Spirit Hall a warning, and also repay Zhuge Lan's kindness."
However.
There were still some who held dissenting opinions. A relatively younger Clan member said,
"But we cannot risk the fate of the entire Clan. Spirit Hall's foundation is simply too profound. Can we really bear the consequences of failure?"
Liu Erlong clenched her fists and said loudly,
"We are not acting blindly. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will also participate. We can unite with more forces to jointly oppose Spirit Hall. Moreover, if it weren't for Zhuge Lan's help many years ago, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might have been annihilated long ago. How could we even talk about the consequences of failure then?"
Liu Erlong closed her eyes and said firmly,
"I am willing to personally lead the team and participate in this rescue operation with all my strength. If there are any consequences, I, Liu Erlong, will bear them alone!"
Her words echoed in the hall, and her resolute attitude caused the scales in many people's hearts to begin to tip.
After a fierce discussion, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan finally decided to send a portion of its experts to participate in the rescue operation.
Yu Kan Ye walked out of the door and said to Ning Rongrong,
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has decided to participate in the rescue operation and will send ten experts to fight alongside you."
Ning Rongrong's face showed a joyful smile:
"That's great! Thank you, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, for your assistance."
Yu Kan Ye said,
"However, we also have some requirements. Our people should try to preserve their strength during the operation and not take unnecessary risks. After all, Spirit Hall's power is too strong, and we cannot make meaningless sacrifices."
Ning Rongrong nodded:
"That is natural. We will formulate a combat plan according to the actual situation and will not let anyone take risks for nothing."
Yu Kan Ye said,
"Then please come with me to the meeting room and tell me what your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's current plan is. That way, we'll have a clear idea."
Upon arriving at the meeting room, Ning Rongrong walked confidently to the podium and said with a resolute tone,
"Our preliminary plan is to first send some hidden experts to investigate the internal situation of Spirit Hall, and then formulate a specific attack strategy based on the intelligence. We will attack from multiple directions simultaneously to disrupt Spirit Hall's defensive layout."
Yu Kan Ye nodded:
"This plan sounds reasonable. But Spirit Hall has many intricate mechanisms inside. Can the people you send handle it?"
Ning Rongrong replied,
"Don't worry, we have chosen the most agile Soul Masters from our Sect, who are skilled in concealment and reconnaissance. They should be able to handle this task. And we will also make other preparations, just in case."
Yu Kan Ye said,
"Alright, then our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will follow unified command. I hope this operation will be successful."
Ning Rongrong smiled and said,
"With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan joining, our chances of success have greatly increased. Thank you again."
At this moment, Liu Erlong walked out and saw Ning Rongrong.
Liu Erlong nodded slightly to Ning Rongrong.
Her eyes held a hint of fatigue, but more so, determination.
"Rongrong, this operation is of great importance, and we must proceed cautiously. Spirit Hall's strength cannot be underestimated. Although we have a preliminary plan, we will undoubtedly encounter many unexpected situations during its execution."
Liu Erlong said with a solemn tone.
Ning Rongrong nodded solemnly:
"Aunt Erlong, I understand. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has made full preparations and will adjust our strategy at any time according to the actual situation. Do you have any special instructions or thoughts on your end?"
Liu Erlong pondered for a moment and said,
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's experts will fully cooperate, but when encountering danger, we hope your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can provide some support. After all, Spirit Hall's foundation is profound, and their number of Titled Douluo might far exceed our imagination."
"That is natural, Aunt Erlong. We are allies and will certainly look out for each other during the operation."
Ning Rongrong replied.
After Ning Rongrong left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
She said to Ning Fengzhi,
"Father, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has agreed to send ten experts to participate in the rescue operation."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong with satisfaction:
"Really? Rongrong, you did very well."
Sword Douluo also said with relief,
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's participation will greatly increase our strength. However, during the operation, we must coordinate the forces of all parties well."
Ning Rongrong said,
"I will stay in contact with Senior Yu Kan Ye of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to ensure the smooth progress of the operation."
