At this moment, Ye Yu was getting closer and closer to the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect.
As he approached the city where the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect was located, Ye Yu frowned because there were no people at the eight large gates of the city. Given the city's status in the Tian Dou Empire, there should have been a high volume of people streaming in and out.
With a single glance, Ye Yu saw no trace of anyone, and with a heavy heart, he rushed into the city.
Upon entering, the city gave Ye Yu a feeling of deathly stillness. The surroundings were bleak and chaotic, smoke lingered in the air, as if a great battle had recently taken place.
Ye Yu frowned deeply, "Could it be, I arrived too late."
Ye Yu rushed toward the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect but found that the sect's buildings were no longer there, just chaos and piles of rubble.
"Damn Martial Soul Hall, you'll pay for this!!"
Suddenly, a handsome young man rushed out from the rubble, thrusting a dagger toward Ye Yu with a roar full of hatred.
Ye Yu slightly tilted to dodge and caught the dagger, lightly crushing it into pieces.
The attacker, pale-faced, collapsed to the ground. Though very weak, the determination and hatred on his face did not dissipate.
Ye Yu said, "Are you from the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect?"
The young man looked up at Ye Yu, his eyes brightening, "You're Ye Yu?"
Ye Yu nodded, "Yes, it's me."
Ye Yu's face was grim, frowning as he asked, "Is there only you left from the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect?"
The young man shook his head, his tone mournful, resentful.
"Though the city and the sect of the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect were destroyed, the disciples within the sect and the Sect Leader are still alive."
After the young man told Ye Yu what had happened over the past two days, Ye Yu understood.
Back then, when he went to the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect, he had warned them that Martial Soul Hall might launch a sudden attack on them anytime soon. If he was around, it would be best, but if not, he had suggested they consider forming an alliance.
If the two sects joined forces, even Martial Soul Hall wouldn't be able to easily destroy them.
They heeded his advice; in secret, all members of the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect had left in the night to go to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect, leaving only a few people behind in the sect.
As Ning Fengzhi had predicted, Martial Soul Hall launched an attack the next day but found nearly an empty city, infuriating Martial Soul Hall.
The ones left behind knew they were likely to meet a grim fate, but for the sake of the sect, they willingly chose to stay. Only a few dozen were left in the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect, guarding the city walls to make Martial Soul Hall think everything was normal.
Unlike the Vast Heaven Sect, Martial Soul Hall wouldn't survey the two major sects beforehand for fear of being discovered, so they chose a surprise attack, but they didn't expect that the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect had seemingly foreseen this, and their strike hit mostly emptiness.
In their anger, Martial Soul Hall did not stop, destroying the empty city and the sect, causing the tragic deaths of many outer disciples.
He survived by being buried under the rubble, occasionally checked by Martial Soul Hall to see if there were survivors. He mistook the newly arrived Ye Yu for someone from Martial Soul Hall and attacked with all his might, thinking that even if he died, he would take a member of Martial Soul Hall with him, thus explaining the previous scene.
Ye Yu felt a sense of relief; as long as most disciples of the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect, Ning Fengzhi, and the two Titled Douluos were alive, it meant the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect still existed, only without their territory, which could be rebuilt.
Ye Yu asked, "What about Rongrong? Did she go to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect as well?"
"Yes, I heard Martial Soul Hall is already at war with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect, Brother Yu, you should..."
The young man wanted to ask Ye Yu for help but thought better of it, considering Ye Yu's youth. Martial Soul Hall was the opponent, and although Ye Yu was highly talented, going there might only lead to his death.
The young man clenched his fists tightly, hating his own weakness, tears streaming down his face.
"Damn it, it's my own fault for being too weak. That renowned, seemingly great Martial Soul Hall is just a pack of mad dogs, demons! Destroying my sect's territory, killing my sect's disciples, damn them!!"
The young man was filled with resentment, gnashing his teeth.
Ye Yu took the young man to a nearby city, settling him in a lodging. Ye Yu said sternly, "Wait here for your Sect Leader and fellow disciples to return."
With those words, Ye Yu disappeared in a flash, racing toward the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect at full speed.
At this time, outside the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect.
The empty plains outside the sect had become a battlefield, yellow sand swirling in the air, rivers of blood flowing, bodies strewn everywhere.
Martial Soul Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect had been locked in fierce combat for a day and a night.
At this time, in the Martial Soul Hall.
Inside the Pope Hall, Bibi Dong sat serenely in a golden chair, sipping tea while listening to reports from subordinates.
"Pope, the battle has raged on for a day and a night. In this battle, the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect dispatched eight thousand Soul Masters, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect dispatched ten thousand Soul Masters, and we sent twenty thousand Soul Masters. Currently, two thousand Seven Treasure Glaze Sect inner and outer disciples have perished, three thousand Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect members have perished, and our side has lost ten thousand."
Crack!
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyebrows furrowed, her face darkened, and the teacup in her hand instantly crumbled to dust.
Bibi Dong was furious, "Bastards! How did this happen? Although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect and the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect joined forces, we launched a surprise attack, yet our losses are double theirs? Are the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect actually this strong?"
The person giving the report instantly fell silent, trembling as he spoke with a grim expression, "Although we attacked suddenly and were not detected beforehand, it seems they were prepared for battle at any time, so even our raid didn't catch them off guard to the point of being unable to resist."
"Moreover, the two major sects are indeed formidable, and with their alliance, the Seven-Colored Glaze Tower Soul Masters provided support at the rear, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect Soul Masters charged ahead, significantly increasing their strength. However, I believe this war will soon come to an end; although we've suffered heavy losses, we're on the offensive, and they are defending. They are on the brink of collapse, with almost no Soul Power left, and our mid-level strength has already suppressed them. Their high-level forces are also at a disadvantage. We've deployed six Titled Douluos, four of whom are fighting Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi, holding a clear advantage. Two Titled Douluos are pitted against the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect's Sect Leader, also holding an advantage. The strong figures of the two major sects are being held at bay, and they can't hold out for much longer. I believe in less than six hours, the battle will conclude, and the two major sects will be annihilated, although we anticipate our casualties doubling, and we'll need to supplement new forces."
Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, "Ah, the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect, truly deserving of their status as two major old-line sects. Together, they've caused Martial Soul Hall to suffer the loss of ten thousand souls, they're indeed powerful."
Beside her, the Second Honored Guest Elder said, "Pope, don't be angry. As they say, there is no loss without gain. Although our losses are heavy this time, soon enough, the two major sects will vanish. Apart from the Vast Heaven Sect, the two major thorns in our side, as far as Martial Soul Hall is concerned, are nearly removed. By then, Martial Soul Hall will exert a greater deterrent effect on the Two Great Empires, they won't dare to act rashly because we've wiped out the two major sects. Then we gather our strength, wait for the right moment for the original plan, and soon the Two Great Empires will also be infiltrated by us. By then, Martial Soul Hall will be the true and only ruler of the continent."
The Second Honored Guest Elder added, "Today's losses will bring greater rewards in the future, as all Soul Masters on the continent will belong to Martial Soul Hall. Martial Soul Hall will grow ever more..."
Just when the Second Honored Guest Elder was about to utter the word 'great,' a shadow swiftly flew in, anxiously reporting.
"Report! A spy near the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect just reported seeing a black light rushing toward the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect! Upon further inspection by the Clairvoyant Soul Douluo, it was found that the black light was Ye Yu!"
The Second Honored Guest Elder was initially displeased at being interrupted, but now he could no longer utter the final word "great."
At the same time, Bibi Dong stood up abruptly, her brows tightly furrowed.
