The news of Ye Renxin advancing to Titled Douluo stirred widespread attention across the continent and caused quite a stir. For the first time, many ordinary people and even soul masters discovered that healing-type soul masters could actually cultivate to the unreachable Titled Douluo realm that ordinary people could only dream of. This undoubtedly gave more healing-type and auxiliary-type soul masters of slightly higher ranks confidence and hope.
Regarding this matter, the Spirit Hall also sent a special invitation, hoping that Ye Renxin could go to the Spirit Hall to complete the Title Bestowal Ceremony. All travel expenses and everything consumed during the ceremony would be fully covered by them, showing utmost sincerity.
Moreover, Qian Renxue personally came to give Shen Hanyu a guarantee that the current person in charge of the Spirit Hall was her grandfather, and there would absolutely be no accidents.
Shen Hanyu felt relatively at ease. He simply asked for Ye Renxin's own opinion and then let her go.
Ye Lingling carefully instructed her grandfather until the old man could no longer stand it and repeatedly agreed before escaping to the carriage as if fleeing from disaster. Only then did she reluctantly calm down. Compared to her usual personality, she seemed like a completely different person.
...
At this moment, on the other side, at the foot of the mountain where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was stationed.
Two carriages were stopped by the patrolling disciples of the Treasure Glazed Tile School at the foot of the mountain. Then a clear hand, made of jade, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Ning Rongrong poked his head out and said:
"Your young miss has returned. Hurry and notify Dad, Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone. I have something to find them…"
The mountain-guarding disciple was so frightened that he shivered. It seemed he recalled some unpleasant past events. He nodded frantically, then scrambled and crawled as he ran up the mountain.
Tang San beside her was stunned, then asked curiously:
"Rongrong, this…"
Ning Rongrong pouted and said:
"When I was little, I didn't understand things and liked to play pranks on them. I didn't expect these guys to be so timid and still remember it to this day…"
Tang San and the others behind him looked at each other in dismay. They could only secretly think in their hearts that Ning Rongrong's nickname of "little demon girl" really had no flaws…
The carriages soon stopped along the clean and spacious road. Ning Rongrong hopped and skipped down from the carriage, unable to hide the smile on her face. She didn't forget to playfully say to the others behind her:
"The remaining section can only be walked. It's just right for me to properly introduce everyone to the various facilities of the sect…"
Returning to the sect where she was born and raised, Ning Rongrong clearly regained quite a bit of vitality. Even her slightly pale complexion had recovered a lot and become rosy again.
Everyone looked at the magnificent golden buildings and decorations around them, clicking their tongues in wonder and gaining a new understanding of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wealth and power.
Only Oscar, at the end of the group, had a flash of inferiority and gloom in his eyes, and his expression became downcast.
Flender beside him chuckled lightly, then patted Oscar on the shoulder and said softly:
"What's wrong? Seeing the young miss's sect makes you feel inferior?"
Oscar smiled bitterly and said:
"Dean, please don't tease me. If it were before, I might still have some other thoughts, but the gap between her and me, you've seen it too… It's almost impossible…"
Flender gave Oscar a hard smack on the back of the head, then said with hatred for iron not becoming steel:
"Your kid needs to have confidence in themselves. Cultivate well. As long as you cultivate in the Titled Douluo realm, see who dares to stop you and Rongrong from being together. Besides, I think this girl Rongrong seems to have some interest in you too…"
"In my opinion, you two are bound to succeed. When facing emotions, one should be brave, so as not to leave regrets for oneself…"
At the end, Flender seemed to let out a faint, almost imperceptible sigh.
Yes, as a timid failure himself, he couldn't even figure out his own matters, yet he had started teaching his students. Speaking of this, Flender inexplicably felt some absurdity and amusement.
His gaze swept over Liu Erlong, who was holding Yu Xiaogang's arm. Flender chuckled lightly, then pushed up his glasses. All kinds of emotions were brushed away with a smile. There were many things he had already grown too lazy to bring up openly…
Oscar's eyes were complicated as he secretly looked at Ning Rongrong, who was walking at the very front, smiling brightly under the sunlight. He couldn't help but gently clench his fist. Moments later, his eyes gradually became firm. He had made a decision. Since he wanted to pursue the princess, he had to do everything in his power to become a knight. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the most basic qualification…
Perhaps occasionally giving everything for himself once wouldn't be a bad choice.
As a grand and exquisite palace appeared before everyone, Ning Rongrong happily introduced:
"This is the Glazed Hall. Normally, my dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, and the various elders and stewards of the sect discuss matters here. Let's go, everyone. My dad and the others are probably already waiting for us…"
Xiao Wu nervously tugged at Tang San's sleeve, a flash of panic in her eyes. It seemed that choosing to follow along was a very foolish decision, but thinking of the previous few times when nothing had happened, she inexplicably felt a bit luckier.
Tang San comfortingly patted Xiao Wu's shoulder and said softly:
"Xiao Wu, you…"
Xiao Wu quickly shook her head, took Tang San's hand, and walked forward, saying:
"It's fine, brother. Some things can't be avoided. We still have to face them…"
Tang San hesitated for a moment but still followed Xiao Wu's steps. The expressions of those around them varied, but they all remained silent without speaking.
In the spacious and bright hall, various luxurious decorations could be seen everywhere. The glazed dome at the top emitted seven-colored light under the sunlight, yet it was not dazzling, only giving people a mysterious feeling.
At the head of the hall, Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat holding a staff, with a smiling expression. Sword and Bone, the two Titled Douluo, sat on either side. When they saw Ning Rongrong, their eyes lit up at the same time, and their originally imposing and serious expressions instantly became kind and gentle.
Ning Rongrong hopped and skipped up a few steps, then playfully hugged Ning Fengzhi's arm and said in a spoiled manner:
"Dad, I'm back…"
Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly and said:
"You little girl, you wouldn't think of me or the sect unless something's wrong. Tell me, what trouble have you encountered this time that needs my help…"
Sword and Bone beside them exchanged a glance, then said in tacit understanding:
"Alright, Fengzhi. Rongrong has just returned. Why are you bringing up all this nonsense? Look, after going out for a while, not only has Rongrong's cultivation reached the Soul Elder level, but her whole person has become different…"
Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly. He had no way to deal with these two old comrades' doting on Ning Rongrong and could only let it be.
His gaze turned to the Shrek group below. A subtle expression flickered in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, then he smiled and said:
"No need to be polite. We're not meeting for the first time. Everyone, don't be restrained. Sit wherever you like…"
Everyone still respectfully bowed to the three of them one by one before dispersing to sit. Xiao Wu tried her best to hide behind Tang San, not daring to look directly at the three above.
But unexpectedly, Sword and Bone Douluo only glanced lightly in this direction and seemed to have no intention of making a move to capture her.
After some casual talk, Ning Rongrong finally brought up the purpose of her return this time.
"Dad, let me tell you…"
Ning Rongrong briefly recounted how she had previously been injured in her soul by the martial soul combination skill of Canghui Academy. Although she knew her father definitely knew some of it, Ning Rongrong still spoke very carefully.
After listening to Ning Rongrong's words, Bone Douluo, sitting to the side, gave a cold snort and said:
"A mere Canghui Academy. Fengzhi, if it's really not possible, let me make a trip tonight. I guarantee I can solve them all without anyone knowing and vent this anger for Rongrong…"
Sword Douluo lightly raised an eyebrow but did not speak against Bone Douluo's words, seemingly approving by default…
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and said lightly:
"You two can handle this matter as you wish. There has never been much fairness in the soul master world. It's just the law of the jungle…"
Having received Ning Fengzhi's vague affirmation, Sword and Bone did not say anything more. Some things were better left understood in the heart. There was no benefit in putting them out in the open.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze shifted slightly, then he continued:
"As for the soul damage, I will find a way to solve it for you later. It may take some time. You are Rongrong's friends and also friends of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Afterward, you can have Rongrong show you around. If you have any needs, feel free to come to me…"
Everyone looked at each other, not expecting that the problem that had troubled them for so long would be so easily resolved here with Ning Fengzhi. For a moment, they had not yet reacted.
Flender saw the situation and stood up, bowing slightly to the three of them. He then gave the others a look. Everyone instantly understood and tactfully left the hall, leaving the space to Ning Rongrong and the other three.
Waiting until the backs of the group completely disappeared, Bone Douluo stood up and rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, then smiled and said:
"Has Rongrong been doing well during this time? Let Grandpa Bone take a look to see if you've gotten thinner…"
Ning Rongrong giggled and dodged Bone Douluo, then said:
"I'm fine. At the academy with my companions, although the living conditions were a bit poorer, overall it was still very happy…"
Ning Fengzhi, sitting in the main seat, rubbed his brow and revealed a bitter smile, saying:
"As long as Rongrong is happy…"
"However, your Shrek Academy does have some extraordinary aspects. None of the young people traveling with you are simple character. The backgrounds behind these few people, if taken out individually, are not simple. Not to mention that you all actually mixed…"
At this point, Sword Douluo's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Fengzhi, have you thought about how to handle that rabbit…"
Bone Douluo also stopped playing around with Ning Rongrong and put on a serious expression, awaiting Ning Fengzhi's answer.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the expectant gazes of the two and slowly shook his head, saying:
"For now, don't touch her. The Tang San beside that rabbit is quite extraordinary. If the information is correct, his father is the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao. Recently, figures of Clear Sky School disciples have even appeared in the Heaven Dou Empire. In the end, we cannot determine how much strength this once-genius number-one sect has retained and accumulated, or whether they still have other intentions toward Tang Hao or the current Tang San…"
"Tang Hao's strength is obvious to all. The power of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul is unquestionable. He could not possibly have failed to discover that the person beside his son is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. The purpose of doing so is also imaginable. Although our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been the number-one sect in the shadows for a few years, in reality, our specific situation is clear to all three of us…"
"For the sake of a rabbit that we won't need at all in the short term, to offend the possible main force we might face against the Spirit Hall in the future would be more loss than gain…"
Ning Fengzhi's words had already been said very thoroughly. Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, was somewhat dumbfounded. It took her a while to react, and she asked:
"Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Rongrong wants to know, the rabbit you're talking about… is it Xiao Wu?"
The three exchanged glances, then Ning Fengzhi slowly stood up and patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder, saying softly:
"My daughter has grown up and become sensible. Dad is finally getting old too. From now on, Dad will slowly teach you many things. It's time to tell you the truth about many matters…"
Ning Rongrong shrank her neck, suddenly feeling an inexplicable shiver. Just as she was about to run away, she heard Ning Fengzhi speak softly. The content instantly petrified her on the spot…
...
Endless yellow sand swept across, obscuring the sky and light, making this already barren world even darker.
The caravan advanced slowly. The graceful woman walking at the very front of the group wore a light green long dress. Her brows and eyes were gentle and amiable, but facing such weather, she still showed a trace of impatience.
"Notify the caravan to slow down. Everyone must not leave the group at will. Once lost in here, even if he is a Soul Saint, he might still be worn down to death in this damned place."
An old man with some white hair walked out from the carriage behind her. It was none other than You Yanshan.
You Yanshan stepped forward and patted You Mengchu's shoulder, saying with some emotion:
"Girl, although crossing the Gobi this way seemed a bit unreliable at first, I really didn't expect that in just a few short days it would save us nearly half a month of travel time. If nothing unexpected happens, in at most ten days or so, we will complete this journey…"
You Mengchu nodded gently, then smiled lightly and said:
"Grandpa, you should go back and rest. The wind and sand are strong now and probably won't stop for a short time. If it really doesn't work, let the caravan rest in place for a while. The risk of traveling now is still not small…"
You Yanshan waved his hand and said:
"What are you saying? You girl really treat this old man as an ordinary old fellow. Sigh, let's not talk about that. If this old man remembers correctly, ahead is the border between the two empires. If we get intercepted by the army then, there will be something to play with…"
Before You Mengchu could laugh, in the next moment, nine soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, instantly rose. Golden soul power erupted, transforming into a huge Imperial Feather Hunter Falcon phantom that circled in the sky, intercepting all the dense black arrows like raindrops.
You Yanshan's expression changed, then he made a gesture and ordered:
"The caravan stops advancing. All those with Soul Emperor cultivation or above, step out and form the array."
At the same time, the corner of You Yanshan's mouth twitched, seeming to regret his own foul mouth. Then he looked toward the two old men behind him and said in a deep voice:
"Old Three, Old Five, the safety of the rear of the caravan is entirely up to you…"
The two old men nodded solemnly. The eight optimally matched soul rings rose under their feet. In a few breaths, they disappeared into the long caravan…
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated. Neat and uniform footsteps sounded from afar. Black-golden armor looked even more majestic and imposing under the sunlight. Sharp blade edges flashed with cold light. Dense and vast formations were arranged in orderly fashion. In the middle, an old man slowly rode a slender black giant tiger and appeared before everyone. The long blade in his hand was still stained with undried blood…
"This old man is Yao Hong, Marshal of the Star Luo Empire. You have trespassed into a military restricted zone without permission, already violating the empire's dignity and bottom line…"
The powerful voice came from afar, accompanied by a heavy aura of killing intent.
You Mengchu's expression shifted, then she leaped up and stood in mid-air, overlooking the seemingly endless Star Luo army before her. There was no panic in her eyes. She simply said lightly:
"Privately establishing a military restricted zone, triggering intense conflicts, massacring civilians and disaster victims, cutting off important commercial routes between the two empires, and even daring to deceive the citizens of your own country and other countries. Even if I kill all of you today, the Star Luo Empire has no reason to come trouble this seat…"
Yao Hong sneered, then pointed his long blade directly at You Mengchu and said coldly:
"So what? For the future of the empire, all of this is worth it. Although you are a Titled Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, I don't believe you can break through the encirclement of our tens of thousands of heavy armored soldiers while also looking after these people. This seat will tell you the truth, the empire clearly knows your origins and will not let you pass smoothly. Threats must often be nipped in the bud…"
You Mengchu sneered, seeming to have anticipated this long ago. She then released a carrier pigeon and transmitted a message to You Yanshan below:
"Grandpa, lead the caravan back into the Gobi canyon to hide. I will hold them off for a while. Although these heavy armors have much higher combat power than ordinary soldiers, they are not good at fighting in such an extremely arid place as the Gobi. But when their military formations combine, even if the two of us go all out at the same time, we absolutely cannot protect all the clansmen. We cannot accept any casualties. After entering the Gobi, just wait peacefully for a few days…"
You Yanshan coldly sized up the army ahead, then said softly:
"Girl, be careful yourself. Just throw a few area-of-effect group attack spirit skills at these bastards who are preventing this old man from enjoying his retirement early. Don't go too far. Killing a few thousand to give them a lesson is about enough. After all, even a desperate dog will bite…"
During these days, under You Mengchu's coercion and inducement, almost all the powerhouses in the family at the Soul Emperor level or above had been forced to understand the current situation on the continent. Naturally, they also knew exactly what these people's actions were for.
They were gambling, gambling on the solution from Skywater Academy, and also declaring their sovereignty and strength to the outside world. Perhaps in their ignorant perception, they believed that Skywater Academy could not possibly choose to completely tear faces with the powerful Star Luo Empire and become opponents for the sake of such a group of people.
It could only be said that the distant distance had indeed given them time to create fantasies and made them unaware of the academy's consistent style and true strength, leading them to misjudge the situation. But all of this often could not be resolved by words alone. Only the size of the fist was the truth…
Moreover, in the eyes of Shen Hanyu and the others, without corresponding strength, something like power was as ridiculous as garbage. The two empires were exactly like that.
...
Seeing the caravan gradually disappear into the yellow sand, You Mengchu sneered. The ninth blood-red soul ring behind her slowly enlarged and rose. The sky behind her gradually darkened, finally turning completely into a pitch-black night curtain. Boundless darkness slowly enveloped all the light around, but in the next moment, countless brilliant stars appeared on this black curtain, beautiful and romantic.
Yao Hong, riding on the black tiger, shrank his pupils. It seemed he sensed something, then roared:
"Whole army, defensive formation! This is her spirit skill, and it's currently charging. It's not fucking nightfall. All of you, wake the fuck up…"
The chaotic sound of footsteps rose, followed by the neat and uniform sound of armor. But in the next moment, the stars embedded in the night curtain seemed to flicker a few times, then transformed into meteors, falling with gorgeous tails of flame. Then, under the terrified gazes of countless people, they smashed into the crowd. Terrifying explosions shot into the sky. The sweeping heat waves instantly turned the nearby people and horses into flying ash. The firelight allowed them to barely see the situation, but their eyes were filled only with despair…
"Ninth spirit skill… Dream of the Stars and the Firmament Above…"
Accompanied by You Mengchu's whisper, endless stars began to continuously fall and smash into the crowd, triggering explosions. Flesh and blood flew, severed limbs and broken arms were everywhere. The military formation they were so proud of had no effect at all under the bombardment of a Super Douluo's ninth spirit skill. At most, it was just their final struggle before death…
You Mengchu's lips curved into a smile, then her figure slowly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the wind and sand had almost buried everything.
Her ninth spirit skill came from the hundred-thousand-year soul beast Imperial Feather Hunter Falcon, of the same origin as her martial soul. The two spirit skills born from it were all top-tier.
Especially the large-area locking group attack spirit skill just now. Although the consumption of herself was somewhat large, the effect was obvious. Facing such a dense military formation, a single use could kill more than ten thousand people. It was even more convenient and quicker for clearing out small fries.
Her nature was really kind, but towards existences that could hinder or threaten her, she had never had the idea of wasting words. In this world, the size of the fist was the true one.
...
In the distance, a small carrier pigeon passed through the clouds at extremely fast speed toward the far away. Probably the little guy itself had not expected that it was just delivering a letter according to its master's order, yet it had stirred up a huge disaster enough to cause the entire continent to erupt completely…
On the other side, Shen Hanyu, who was enjoying a leisurely afternoon with beauties in his arms, seemed to have sensed something. His gaze unconsciously turned toward the distance…
