Chapter 186: The Collapsing Yu Xiaogang
In the Heaven Dou City Shrek Academy.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo arrived at Shrek Academy, looking tired and travel-worn. Ning Fengzhi no longer had his usual graceful demeanor, and Bone Douluo also seemed to have sustained some injuries.
Everyone was shocked to see Ning Fengzhi in this state. After all, as the sect leader of one of the top three sects, his status was extremely high, and he was always calm and composed, no matter the circumstances.
Flender was equally surprised: "Sect Master Ning, what happened to you?"
Ning Fengzhi showed a bitter smile: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffered a major incident. I'm here to find Rongrong."
Soon, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender arrived at a reception room.
Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Qin Shuang also quickly entered the room.
When Ning Rongrong saw her father's condition, her face immediately changed. She rushed to his side, her eyes filled with concern.
"Dad, what happened? Why is Grandpa Bone hurt?"
Ning Fengzhi's face darkened: "Rongrong, yesterday, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was attacked. The battle lasted for two hours, and we suffered heavy losses before finally repelling the enemy."
Ning Rongrong's face turned pale: "Dad, did Wuhun Hall really attack us?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded: "Who else but Wuhun Hall could send so many Soul Masters? This time, they deployed nearly 10,000 Soul Masters and even sent four Title Douluos."
"If our scouts hadn't received the information, we might have been in real danger."
Ning Rongrong quickly asked: "Dad, what about the sect now? Why didn't Little Xiong come with you?"
Ning Fengzhi replied: "Although we suffered significant losses, we heavily wounded the enemy and even killed two of their Title Douluos. For now, we should be relatively safe."
"Little Xiong fought fiercely against Magic Bear Douluo and was injured. He is now recovering inside the sect and should recover soon."
Everyone was shocked again. Yang Xiong was only level 69; how could he fight head-on with a Title Douluo?
Ning Rongrong's eyes filled with tears: "Little Xiong must be badly hurt. I need to go back to the sect and see him. If I had gone with him, he would be much better with my support."
Seeing Ning Rongrong so upset, Ning Fengzhi quickly reassured her: "Rongrong, during the battle, Little Xiong was fully assisted by me. He fought bravely and even heavily wounded Magic Bear Douluo."
"He's fine now, so don't worry."
Ning Rongrong finally relaxed a bit: "Dad, what should I do now? Should I go back to the sect immediately?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won this battle, but we suffered too many casualties. The sect needs a strong leader now. You are the only one with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower martial soul, and you are also the successor of the sect. Your presence will lift the spirits of everyone."
Ning Rongrong relaxed: "Dad, let's go back to the sect right away. I want to check on Little Xiong."
Qin Shuang and Oscar, who had been listening to the conversation, were both deeply shocked. They admired Yang Xiong even more. After all, no one had ever dared to imagine a Soul Emperor fighting against a Title Douluo.
Ning Fengzhi then turned to Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong: "Master, I came here not only to bring Rongrong back but also to remind you both. Since Wuhun Hall has made a move against us, they will not give us a chance to rest."
"Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has suffered heavy damage, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is likely in danger as well."
Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were both shocked. They were well aware of Wuhun Hall's ruthlessness, and as one of the top three sects, they had always been in opposition to Wuhun Hall. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would likely not fare well.
After Ning Fengzhi left with Rongrong, Oscar, and Qin Shuang, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong quickly returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After leaving Shrek Academy, Ning Fengzhi did not immediately return to the sect. Instead, he headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye, after hearing Ning Fengzhi's description, became immediately enraged: "What does Wuhun Hall think they are doing? Do they really want to dominate the world?"
Ning Fengzhi quickly spoke: "Emperor Xue Ye, I'm afraid their ambition is not just to deal with the top three sects. Wuhun Hall's attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was filled with strange elements."
"Especially the large-scale attack with 10,000 Soul Masters; there was no warning beforehand. This is highly unusual."
Emperor Xue Ye was puzzled: "Sect Master Ning, speak freely. We are all allies here. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and our Heaven Dou Royal Family have always been mutually supportive."
Ning Fengzhi showed a hint of bitterness but soon explained to Emperor Xue Ye based on Yang Xiong's analysis.
After hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye's face immediately changed: "Sect Master Ning, the Heaven Dou Royal Family has always been very supportive of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. There has never been any conflict between us. We would never do something that harms both sides."
Ning Fengzhi replied: "Emperor Xue Ye, I certainly trust you, but this matter is too strange. I'm afraid there are some hidden traitors within the Heaven Dou Royal Family. I hope you can deal with this quickly."
"I fear their motives are not simple. They might not only be targeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect but may have other, even larger plans."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded: "Rest assured, Sect Master Ning. I will deal with these traitors within the Heaven Dou Royal Family and give you a proper explanation."
"By the way, Sect Master Ning, what is the next plan for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Ning Fengzhi said: "Although we suffered losses, it has not affected the foundation of the sect. I plan to rebuild the sect as soon as possible, which may reduce our focus on external matters for now."
Emperor Xue Ye looked regretful: "Sect Master Ning, I am deeply sorry for the misfortune that has befallen the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I will arrange for 50,000 troops to be stationed outside the sect. If anyone dares to attack again, they will face the full wrath of the Heaven Dou Empire. If there is anything you need, don't hesitate to ask. The Heaven Dou Empire will fully support your rebuilding efforts."
…
After the conversation concluded, Emperor Xue Ye's face darkened.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had always been supportive of the Heaven Dou Empire in terms of high-level soul masters, but now, after suffering such a heavy blow, Ning Fengzhi's support for the royal family would surely diminish, and it would be even harder to resist Wuhun Hall in the future.
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, everywhere was engulfed in flames. As Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong rowed their boat through the protective moat, countless bodies drifted in the water. Most of them wore the familiar attire of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Both Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were horrified. Their bodies trembled as they realized these were their people, their brothers and sisters.
Now, the entire sect was in ruin, with bodies scattered everywhere and the air thick with the stench of blood, almost suffocating.
When they reached the clan's interior, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was unrecognizable. The sect's sign had been destroyed, and even the massive statue of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was gone. Corpses were everywhere, and a foul smell lingered in the air.
As they entered the main hall, they found the lifeless body of the sect leader, Yu Yuan Zhen, sitting on the grand throne.
Yu Yuan Zhen's body was mangled beyond recognition, and his body had been torn open. The three soul bones passed down by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had vanished without a trace.
Yu Xiaogang, trembling all over, looked at the mangled body, his face contorting in grief. This was his father, and to see him in such a state was a testament to the enemy's cruelty and strength.
Yu Xiaogang shouted angrily: "Bibi Dong, Wuhun Hall, I will never forgive you! You will pay for this!"
With that cry, the hatred in his heart was released, and he fainted.
Liu Erlong also collapsed, holding the lifeless body of his father, Liu Luomian.
At this point, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been completely wiped out, leaving only a few survivors who had been away on missions.
In Wuhun City, Wuhun Hall.
Bibi Dong sat serenely on her throne, listening to a bishop report the results of the "Flame Fire" operation. Clearly, Bibi Dong was very confident about this soul hunting operation, as their strength was several times greater than the enemy's.
The reporting bishop, sweating profusely, said: "Your Holiness, we deployed 10,000 Soul Masters to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, including several hundred from the lower sects."
"However, it seems the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect received information beforehand and made their preparations."
"We suffered heavy losses, with around 7,000 Soul Masters killed and approximately 2,000 severely wounded."
"Among the four elders involved in the operation, Elder Snake Spear was killed by Sword Douluo, Elder Needlefish was killed by Bone Douluo, and both Magic Bear Douluo and Ling Yuan Douluo were severely wounded. It will be difficult for them to recover in the short term."
Bibi Dong's expression changed instantly. Her calm demeanor gave way to a serious look: "What did you say? We sent 10,000 Soul Masters, and even with the surprise attack, we still outnumbered the enemy by more than double, and now you're telling me that our losses are seven times greater than theirs?"
"Not to mention, we lost two elders, and the other two are severely wounded. What the hell did you all do?"
Bibi Dong's aura exploded, and the bishop felt like he was in hell, his body drenched in sweat.
Bibi Dong snorted coldly: "Tell me the specifics of the battle. How could you all mess up this badly?"
