Chapter 102: Alliance with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect
As you step into the mountain gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, what comes into view is the rolling hills of palaces and pavilions.
Although it had experienced a great war, many buildings bore traces of the battle, and some had even collapsed into ruins.
But its overall outline and remaining buildings still demonstrate its former glory and grandeur.
The flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings all exude an ancient and majestic atmosphere.
Especially the buildings winding on the mountain ridge, like a sleeping dragon, majestic and imposing.
Lin Xiao walked along with a calm look in his eyes, but he was secretly shocked in his heart.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan indeed had a profound foundation. Just by looking at the grandeur of the sect's buildings, one could tell how high-spirited and financially powerful Yu Yuanzhen was.
However, now all of this will belong to him, Lin Xiao!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little proud, but because there were outsiders present, he didn't show this emotion on his face.
But the members of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group following behind were not so calm.
They looked at the magnificent sect building and thought that this would soon become their new residence. They were so excited that they could hardly control themselves, and their eyes lit up.
After passing through several courtyards, Lin Xiao and his party soon arrived at the most magnificent hall located in the center of the sect - the Thunder Dragon Hall.
This hall is the core of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and is usually used to receive distinguished guests and discuss important matters of the sect.
The door of the hall is open, and the interior space is extremely spacious. The beams and pillars are thick, all made of precious wood, and are carved with lifelike thunder dragon totems.
Just above it hangs a plaque with three large characters "Thunder Dragon Hall" written in a flamboyant style, silently telling of the former majesty of this place.
Without any hesitation, Lin Xiao walked straight to the sect leader's throne at the top of the hall and sat down without any hesitation.
The throne, made of some special metal, inlaid with gems, and with a ferocious thunder dragon skull carved on the back, seemed to be tailor-made for him at this moment.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin and Gu Rong saw this, and a strange look flashed in their eyes, but they didn't say much.
The victor takes all, and now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has been destroyed, it is natural for Lin Xiao, as the winner, to occupy this place.
Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin sat on both sides of Lin Xiao's throne respectively.
At this time, inside the spacious Thunder Dragon Hall.
Only Lin Xiao, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin are left, representing the top figures of the two major forces.
The rest of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group members were arranged by Xiao Zhan and others to either be on guard around or continue to deal with follow-up matters on the battlefield, and did not enter the hall.
After everyone was seated, Ning Fengzhi was the first to break the silence in the hall and looked at Lin Xiao who was sitting in the main seat.
"Little friend Lin, congratulations first."
"In today's battle, you, at the age of twelve and with the cultivation of a forty-seventh-level Soul Sect, defeated two Soul Saints."
"It won't be long before the name of the continent's number one genius spreads throughout the world."
Lin Xiao bowed slightly and replied modestly:
"Master Ning is truly too kind to me."
"The boy just won by chance, but he's still far from being a true powerhouse!"
"I need to learn more from my seniors in the future."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and did not dwell on this topic for too long, and changed the subject naturally.
"Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has been destroyed, I wonder when Young Master Lin plans to hold the founding ceremony?"
"When the time comes, our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will definitely prepare a generous gift and come to congratulate you."
Lin Xiao bowed to Ning Fengzhi to express his gratitude.
"There is no rush to establish the sect. Many matters still need to be prepared slowly by my subordinates."
"Once everything is ready, I will inform Sect Master Ning and the two Your Majesties in advance and invite them to come and watch the ceremony."
Then Lin Xiao paused and glanced at Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
"But right now, there is something I would like to discuss with Sect Master Ning."
Ning Fengzhi admired Lin Xiao even more when he saw how calm he was, and then he made a "please" gesture.
"Little friend Lin, please feel free to speak up. If you need any help, just ask."
Lin Xiao leaned forward slightly, his eyes becoming sharp.
"I wonder if your Excellencies, Sect Master Ning and Sword Bone, know the current strength of the Haotian Sect?"
Hearing the words "Haotian Sect", Ning Fengzhi's expression became obviously more solemn, and he pondered for a moment.
"Haotian Sect... Twelve years ago, Tang Hao angrily killed the former Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji for a hundred thousand year old spirit beast, the Blue Silver Emperor."
"This incident shocked the continent and also attracted the Spirit Hall's frantic retaliation."
"The new Pope, Bibi Dong, personally led a large army to attack the Haotian Sect in the name of revenge."
"In that battle, the Haotian Sect suffered heavy losses. The old sect leader Tang Zhen was killed in the battle, and many of its affiliated sects were almost uprooted."
"In the end, the Haotian Sect chose to close its mountain gate and hide from the world, only then was it able to preserve its foundation."
"But as far as I know, the core disciples of the Haotian Sect did not suffer any losses in that battle, and their strength is relatively well preserved."
"Especially the Haotian Twin Stars that were once famous all over the world."
"Tang Hao is now a level 95 Strong Attack Titled Douluo. His strength is unquestionable."
"I think his brother, the current Haotian Sect leader Tang Xiao, must have a high level of cultivation as well."
"Two Douluos in one family, plus the Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one weapon spirit, combined with their inherited Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique, Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, and even the Ring Explosion Secret Technique..."
"His strength is definitely top-notch across the entire continent."
"Young friend Lin, it is not a wise choice to make enemies with the Clear Sky Sect now that you have just taken over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect's foundation."
Ning Fengzhi revealed all the information he knew, with a hint of admonition in his tone.
However, after listening to this, Lin Xiao just shook his head slightly and leaned back in his chair.
"Sect Master Ning, I'm afraid the news you received is a bit delayed."
He stated calmly, but it was like dropping a bombshell.
"The current Haotian Sect has not only two Titled Douluo, but a full eight."
After these words were spoken, even Ning Fengzhi, who was a shrewd man, was slightly startled. Chen Xin and Gu Rong beside him even paused slightly.
Lin Xiao ignored their reactions and continued.
"During the past ten years of seclusion, in addition to the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, five elders in the Haotian Sect have successfully broken through and been promoted to Titled Douluo."
"Moreover, Tang Xiao's soul power is not what Sect Master Ning estimated. He is already a level 97 Super Douluo."
"Although Tang Hao is only level 95, the ninth spirit ring he absorbed is at the 100,000-year level of his wife."
"His mastery of the Haotian Sect's unique skills has reached a state of perfection."
"In my opinion... Tang Hao's true combat power, when unleashed at full power, is probably enough to compete with a peak Douluo at level ninety-eight."
Having said that, Lin Xiao paused, his eyes became deeper, and he revealed the last and most unbelievable piece of news.
"The most crucial thing is... that legendary figure who was long thought dead or missing, the former pillar of the Haotian Sect."
"The ninety-nineth-level Ultimate Douluo—Tang Chen, he is still alive."
