The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's mountain gate.
Zhuge Lan, Poison Douluo, Sword Douluo, and a group of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples were preparing to leave.
Ning Rongrong hugged Zhuge Lan, her eyes filled with reluctance, and she said softly, "Brother Zhuge, no matter what the outcome, you must be careful. Rongrong will be waiting for you at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Alright, no problem, don't worry!" Zhuge Lan said with a smile.
He was actually cautious about this mission. This mission was different from the previous rescue and helping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect out of trouble. The main point was that during previous interactions with Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo, if he couldn't win, he could run.
This time, he couldn't run; he had to investigate the matter thoroughly.
There was also another reason: the area near the Star Dou Great Forest was dominated by Spirit Hall, making investigation very difficult there.
But to defeat Spirit Hall in the future, he had no choice but to go and resolve the issue.
"Zhuge Lan, it's getting late, let's go!" Poison Douluo, who was nearby, said.
Zhuge Lan nodded. It was indeed getting late, and he couldn't let personal feelings delay them. After bidding farewell to Ning Rongrong, the group departed.
"Sword Flight!"
Sword Douluo shouted, and then a large number of long swords appeared around him, landing beneath everyone's feet.
"Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, get on the swords. Zhuge Lan, Poison Douluo, if you wish to use Sword Flight, that's good, or you can use your own spirit tools or Spirit as well."
"I'll try Sword Flight too." Zhuge Lan smiled and stepped onto a cyan long sword.
He had always yearned to try Sword Flight.
Poison Douluo, who was nearby, smiled and jumped onto a sword.
After Sword Douluo uttered the word "Swift," the long swords directly ascended, carrying everyone swiftly towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the way, Zhuge Lan said, "Sword Douluo, are we still going to that valley this time? I want to see if there are any clues."
"Alright, no problem." Sword Douluo said.
Poison Douluo, who was nearby, looked thoughtful and then said, "Zhuge Lan, this time we will likely encounter attacks from very strong Titled Douluo. You might need to bring out a wide-range defensive spirit tool."
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. What Poison Douluo said was correct. With so many people, besides him, Poison Douluo, and Sword Douluo, who could withstand a Titled Douluo's attack, the other Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples would be completely unable to resist.
Otherwise, why would all the disciples attacked last time have been wiped out?
Afterward, he began searching in the system store to see if there were any better defensive tools.
After refreshing with over three thousand Emotions Points, a purple defensive tool appeared.
"Dream Butterfly: Can conjure a large, colorful barrier that can withstand attacks from Titled Douluo below level ninety-five for a quarter of an hour. Can be used three times. Price: 241,112 Emotions Points."
Over two hundred thousand Emotions Points, while not comparable to a divine-grade item, was close.
As for only being able to be used three times, that was also quite good.
He then purchased it.
After a few days, the group finally flew into the valley. There weren't many skeletons here; instead, there was a volatile energy aura. Clearly, the golden light had directly blasted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples into dust.
Sword Douluo rushed down anxiously and began to investigate.
Soon, a disciple discovered the corpses of deceased Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples. Sword Douluo ordered them to be collected and buried after returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Zhuge Lan also began to examine the area. There were large pits here, still containing traces of treasure energy. Clearly, these large pits were formed when those golden light pillars exploded.
Suddenly, a large number of golden light pillars shot out from the cliffs on both sides, aiming directly at them.
"Zhuge Lan, quickly!"
"Understood."
A colorful butterfly appeared, then transformed into colorful powder. These colorful powders formed a colorful barrier in the air, directly enveloping everyone.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Explosions, one after another, continuously rang out on the colorful barrier, but the colorful barrier showed no cracks.
Zhuge Lan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the attacking enemies had not reached level ninety-five, which was acceptable.
As for the golden light pillars being unable to break through the colorful barrier, it was now time to counterattack.
"Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, let's attack the enemies on the cliff together."
"Okay, Zhuge Lan."
"Zhuge Lan, you stay here. Poison Douluo and I will go. These Sect disciples cannot die." It was Sword Douluo who spoke. He felt great guilt for abandoning the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples last time, so this time, he was determined to protect them.
Zhuge Lan pondered. He actually wanted to join the fight, as he was very curious to see who was behind this, but given the current situation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples absolutely had to be protected.
For a moment, he wasn't sure what would be best!
At this moment, Poison Douluo sighed and said, "Zhuge Lan, then you stay here. After all, this barrier still needs you to manage it. If we are outmatched, we will call you."
"Alright, then you two go quickly. If anything happens, call me, and I will rush over immediately." Zhuge Lan nodded. Since Poison Douluo said so, he would stay here.
Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo exchanged a look, then each rushed towards one of the cliffs.
Afterward, intense fighting sounds came from above. This situation continued for a long time.
A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple inside the barrier walked out and said, "Brother Zhuge Lan, why don't you go too? You don't need to worry about us; we are safe here."
Another disciple also said, "Brother, why don't you go help the two Titled Douluo adults? That would be faster."
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment. He really did want to go help, but after examining the surrounding terrain, a helpless expression appeared on his face. He really couldn't leave at this moment.
This place was a valley, which in military strategy was considered a death trap. Soldiers arriving here had to be extremely careful.
If he left, and even one Titled Douluo came and broke through the barrier, all these people would die. So, he couldn't leave.
"No need, they can handle it. Look at the surrounding terrain; I need to stay here."
The surrounding Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples immediately examined the terrain. Their spirit power was generally above level sixty, and they were all intelligent people. At this moment, they also realized the danger of this place.
So, a disciple said, "Brother Zhuge Lan, why don't we move forward, get out of this dangerous place, and then you can go help them."
"Hmm… that could work."
Zhuge Lan pondered for a moment. What this disciple said indeed made sense, but when he was about to give the order, he discovered a big problem: the barrier could only be used three times. If they moved, one use would be consumed, which would be too wasteful.
Just as he was hesitating, the sounds from above gradually diminished, and the golden light pillars became fewer. It seemed Poison Douluo and Sword Douluo had gained the upper hand, which was a relief.
