"For the soul bone? That's quite possible."
After hearing Chen Xin's explanation, Gu Rong nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Gu Rong turned to Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Master, since Hu Yanzhen has this reason, we certainly cannot let him succeed. Once he breaks through the title, we will have another competitor."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi also pondered. If that were the case, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really couldn't sit idly by.
The reason why the Upper Three Sects are called the Upper Three Sects is not only because they are the three strongest sects on the continent, but more importantly, because only these three sects have Title Douluo.
A sect with titled Douluo is completely different from a sect without titled Douluo. Titled Douluo can defeat Soul Douluo as easily as eating and drinking; their high-level combat power is not on the same level.
If Hu Yanzhen truly breaks through and becomes a Title Douluo, the Elephant Armor Sect will undoubtedly rise to a higher level, and may even stand on equal footing with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect, becoming known as the Upper Four Sects.
This situation is definitely not in the interest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; no force would like to have another competitor.
"Alright, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, let's head to the Ye family right now. We can't let Huyan Zhen get the Soul Bone!"
Ning Fengzhi quickly made a decision. Although the Ye family was also a competitor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the restriction that the Nine Star Begonia could only have two successors in a generation meant that its threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not high.
Keeping them around would even be more beneficial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, since the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can also get injured, and no Soul Master is better at healing than the Nine Heart Begonia.
...
"Lingling, how are things going with you and Mu'er? That boy hasn't bullied you, has he?"
In a small courtyard of the Ye family, Xu Yaozhen was chatting with Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling shook her head and smiled, "Qingmu is very good to me. He gave me this not long ago."
As she spoke, Ye Lingling took out a seed that emitted a green light from her bosom.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yao was stunned. She hadn't expected Qing Mu to give Ye Lingling the Wood Spirit Seed, an item that could increase cultivation speed.
For a Soul Master, the importance of increasing cultivation speed goes without saying. If she didn't have the Wood Spirit Seed, it would be questionable whether she could even reach level 50.
After all, her innate soul power was only level three and a half, and her cultivation speed was quite average before her martial soul evolved into the Narcissus Jade Bone.
However, Xu Yao quickly remembered the immortal herbs, soul bones, and whale glue that Qing Mu had given them, and suddenly felt that it didn't matter anymore.
After all, none of these things are inferior to the Seed of Wood Spirit, and even the Immortal Herb and Soul Bone are more precious than the Seed of Wood Spirit.
Thump thump thump—
Just as Xu Yao was in a daze, a deafening bell rang out, causing Ye Lingling's expression to change.
"Lingling, this is…"
Xu Yao immediately noticed the change in Ye Lingling's expression and pressed for an answer.
Ye Lingling took a deep breath. "This is the bell that rings when the family is in crisis. It means that there must be an external enemy invading the Ye family."
At the same time, Ye Lingling was also very puzzled. The Ye family, which started out in the field of healing, has always been kind to others. Who would attack the Ye family?
Could it be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
In Ye Lingling's mind, if anyone were to target the Ye family, it would only be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After all, the Ye family is no pushover. Dealing with the Ye family would likely result in serious damage to oneself, and one might even be swallowed up by other forces. Only if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is strong enough will it not be afraid of the Ye family's counterattack.
Boom—
"Huyan Zhen, how could it be you!"
At that moment, a voice filled with surprise and uncertainty came from outside.
"It's the Grand Elder!"
Ye Lingling naturally recognized the source of the voice; it was none other than Ye He, the eldest elder of the Ye family and an eighty-sixth-level Soul Douluo!
Ye He was also a member of the Ye family, and was also the elder brother of her mother, Ye Haitang.
The reason he is not the head of the family is because he did not awaken the Ye family's Nine Star Begonia, but instead inherited the top-tier martial soul, Black Crow King!
It was precisely because of the presence of this Contra Master that the Ye family was able to steadily become a first-class power on the continent.
Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, appearing to be around forty or fifty years old, with nearly five-meter-long black wings on his back, was hovering about ten meters in the air, coldly looking down at Hu Yanzhen and the Elephant Armor Sect members behind him!
"The celestial phenomenon is Huyan Zhen. My Ye family has no grudge against you. What is your intention in doing this today?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yanzhen simply laughed loudly, "Black Crow Yehe, I have come here today only to ask for one person!"
"who?"
Ye He raised an eyebrow and asked.
Hu Yanzhen: "Don't worry, he's not from your Ye family. This person is named Qing Tianfeng, and he's currently in your Ye family's territory."
"impossible!"
At this moment, Ye Haitang also ran over and rejected Hu Yanzhen's suggestion before Ye He could even speak.
Immediately, Ye He also refused, saying, "Qing Tianfeng is our Ye family's in-law. Our Ye family will not agree to your request."
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing their answers, a hint of coldness flashed in Hu Yanzhen's eyes.
"In that case, the Ye family is no longer necessary. Members of the Elephant Armor Sect, make your move!"
With a gentle wave of his hand, Hu Yanzhen summoned hundreds of Soul Masters from the Elephant Armor Sect to advance towards the Ye family's interior.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that the Elephant Armor Sect actually dared to make a move, Ye He and Ye Haitang's expressions changed.
Ye He then flapped his massive black wings, instantly disappearing from his spot, and charged towards the Elephant Armor Sect disciples.
"Ye He, your opponents are us!"
Just after Ye He seriously injured several disciples of the Elephant Armor Sect, the second and third elders of the Elephant Armor Sect stepped forward and engaged Ye He in battle.
Hu Yanzhen, on the other hand, charged towards Ye Haitang like a cannonball.
Ye Haitang naturally dodged, but as a support Soul Master, how could she possibly be faster than Hu Yanzhen? Therefore, the distance between the two was rapidly closing.
Damn it!
Ye He naturally noticed this scene. One of his spirit rings suddenly lit up, and his figure immediately transformed into a black shadow, quickly arriving in front of Ye Haitang.
Then a huge black wing blocked the impact of Hu Yanzhen.
Hu Yanzhen's attack, a level 89 Soul Douluo, was not easy to block, especially since he also used a Soul Skill. Ye He was injured almost instantly.
"Third Soul Skill!"
As a petal fell, Ye He, aided by Ye Haitang, instantly returned to his peak condition.
However, at this moment, Ye Haitang looked at the scene around her and her heart sank.
The Elephant Armor Sect is far stronger than the Ye family, especially since the opposing team has three Soul Douluos, one of whom is the Celestial Phenomenon Huyan Zhen.
"Damn it, why aren't the Second Elder and Third Elder here yet? They should have arrived long ago!" Ye Haitang cursed inwardly.
As if to answer Ye Haitang's inner doubts, a member of the Ye family came running over as if his life depended on it, shouting as he ran: "Patriarch, First Elder, Third Elder, please help! The West has been invaded by an unknown force!"
