Bai He, the clan leader, pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"That makes sense; there should be some. I'll ask tomorrow. By the way, is there anything you want to tell Zhuge Lan?"
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment. She had originally intended to write a letter, but writing a letter carried the risk of exposure. This time, she only needed a puppet talisman, or something similar to a puppet talisman, and she could leave this place directly.
If she met Zhuge Lan, she could say whatever she wanted then, so there was no need to write a letter.
So she said,
"No need. Just convey the message."
Bai He, the clan leader, nodded, then opened the door and left.
...
At this moment, in a secret chamber of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Sect Master Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, as he had encountered a thorny problem.
In front of him was someone from the Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo had a playful smile on his lips. He handed Sect Master Ning a letter and said with a smile,
"Sect Master Ning, this is a letter from the Supreme Pontiff."
Sect Master Ning opened the letter and began to read it.
"Sect Master Ning, ten years have passed since we last met. Our Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have shared hundreds of years of friendship. Now, for the sake of a mere clown, the friendship between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been ruined, which is truly detestable."
"I am willing to designate an area of the Star Dou Great Forest to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, provided that Sect Master Ning kills Zhuge Lan and delivers his head to Spirit Hall."
Sect Master Ning fell into deep thought. To be honest, what the Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff said was not wrong. After all, for hundreds of years, Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had not had any major conflicts.
The current situation was not what he wanted to see, and as for a part of the Star Dou Great Forest, to be honest, he also wanted it.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's commercial strength had basically reached every town in the Three Great Empires, but some businesses could not be conducted just because you had money.
For example, a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, which produces a huge amount of Soul Rings. With this area, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would undergo a qualitative change.
But was Zhuge Lan really at fault? He pondered. It seemed he wasn't really at fault. Spirit Hall had captured Zhuge Lan's girlfriend before, which was why Zhuge Lan had broken in, and Zhuge Lan was a very good friend of Rongrong's.
For a time, he found it difficult to make a choice.
He said helplessly,
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, please extend my regards to the Supreme Pontiff. As for the matter of killing Zhuge Lan, I still need some time to consider it."
Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned slightly.
"Sect Master Ning, the Supreme Pontiff said he would give you three days to consider. After all, our Spirit Hall has shown great sincerity. If you don't agree by then, our Spirit Hall's army will attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Sect Master Ning's expression changed slightly, and his heart sank. He said,
"Can we discuss this? Can Zhuge Lan be spared?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head solemnly and said,
"Since our Spirit Hall said we can give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a piece of the Star Dou Great Forest, we definitely want to resolve this matter completely. There's no room for discussion on this. Sect Master Ning, you only have three days. I'll take my leave first."
Chrysanthemum Douluo took out a chrysanthemum petal. The chrysanthemum floated in the air, emitting a faint golden light. Within the golden light, Chrysanthemum Douluo disappeared.
Not long after Chrysanthemum Douluo left, a faint cyan light appeared from a corner.
Sect Master Ning looked over. It was Sword Douluo. He said helplessly,
"Sword Douluo, you must have heard everything!"
Sword Douluo nodded.
"I promised to guard your safety, and I will always stay by your side to protect you. As for that matter, I will not express an opinion, except to say that Chrysanthemum Douluo is unreliable."
Sect Master Ning sighed.
"I need to discuss this with the Elder Council. This matter is too important for me to decide."
Sword Douluo frowned slightly.
"Those old fellows, alas..."
...

Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo were studying a map.
The map was of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. There were five passes on the way down the mountain, and these five passes had been fortified with strongholds by Spirit Hall.
The two were discussing which pass would be easier to break through if they attacked.
Zhuge Lan held a pen and pointed to the middle pass, saying,
"Elder Dugu, I don't recommend attacking this pass. After all, this pass is in the middle. If we don't take it down quickly, the four passes on both sides will send out troops simultaneously."
Dugu Bo nodded.
"Yes, kid, you're right. I don't plan to attack this stronghold either. Normally, it should be the strongholds on both sides."
Zhuge Lan looked at the strongholds on both sides and sighed, saying,
"We still have too little information. We're not sure which of these two sides has a Titled Douluo. If we go, it's best to choose the stronghold without a Titled Douluo, as that would make it easier to capture the stronghold."
Dugu Bo shook his head.
"No, we must attack the stronghold with a Titled Douluo."
Zhuge Lan's face showed a look of confusion.
"Elder Zhuge, why?"
Dugu Bo explained,
"I am a Titled Douluo, and your methods can also be considered those of a Titled Douluo. If we add Starcloud Douluo, the three of us Titled Douluo, if we don't kill one of the enemy's Titled Douluo, then this operation itself would be a loss."
Zhuge Lan thought about it. It made sense. After all, he had killed Title Douluo Tai Hu of Spirit Hall in the Speed Clan. At worst, he would refresh the system store more in the next two days.
Buying a divine item to kill a Titled Douluo would not be a problem, and with Poison Douluo there, it would naturally be easier.
He said,
"That makes sense. Then we also need to confirm which of these two strongholds has a Titled Douluo?"
Dugu Bo nodded, then said,
"How about this! You will connect with Ning Rongrong and persuade her to join us in attacking the Titled Douluo, and I will go investigate which stronghold has a Titled Douluo."
Zhuge Lan thought about it. What Dugu Bo said made sense. After all, after being here for several days, there might be new Titled Douluo in the strongholds below. Qian Renxue and Ghost Douluo might be among them. If they rushed in and faced four Titled Douluo.
He was confident he could escape, but this strategy would be a complete failure.
Moreover, he needed to complete the connection with Ning Rongrong, and there were many things to do in between. This investigation task would be handed over to Poison Douluo.
At this moment, he thought of something.
He bought five magical paper-cuts from the system store and handed them to Dugu Bo.
"Elder Dugu, when you use these five magical paper-cuts, cut a door and stick them on, and you can use them."
Dugu Bo's face showed surprise. He quickly took the five magical paper-cuts in his hand, then put them into the bag in his 懷中, and then said,
"Now we don't lack anything, kid. You stay here and wait for my good news."
With that, Dugu Bo took out an invisibility talisman, placed it on himself, and then disappeared.
Zhuge Lan said with concern,
"Elder Dugu, be careful."
