Qian Renxue directly refused what Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
"Elder Ju, the overall situation must always be prioritized. You should know the relationship between Yang Xiong and Lin Gong. Lin Gong has been protecting Yang Xiong all these years, and your conflict with Lin Gong has been going on for many years. I'm afraid something unexpected might happen then."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded helplessly. Although he valued the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum greatly, he cared more about his loyalty to the Spirit Hall.
Xue Qinghe continued, "Right, Elder Ju, you just said Yang Xiong took the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. What are the effects of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum? How does it compare to my Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, it is said that taking the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum can circulate energy through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, allowing one to cultivate an Indestructible Body."
"Based on my observation of Yang Xiong just now, he should have only recently taken the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, but his physical fitness is probably far superior to Soul Masters of the same level, and even his cultivation talent has greatly improved."
"In comparison, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone each have their strengths. They are similar in effect, but the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is more powerful and overbearing, while the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone is relatively gentler. Purely in terms of soul power increase, the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone should be better."
Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly explained his insights on these two Immortal Herbs. However, he was unaware that these two Immortal Herbs were related, as Immortal Herbs are extremely rare.
Xue Qinghe nodded, "Alright, getting an Immortal Herb for free is also good, but I always feel like this kid Yang Xiong has ill intentions."
After leaving Heaven Dou City, Yang Xiong immediately rushed back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, even pushing his Speed to the limit.
Just now, on the top floor of the Moon Pavilion, Yang Xiong could clearly feel a special aura.
This aura was very faint, so much so that even a Titled Douluo might not be able to detect it.
But Yang Xiong had previously taken the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and knew very well that this was the unique aura of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. This meant that besides himself and Xue Qinghe, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan should also have been present.
Yang Xiong had no doubt about Chrysanthemum Douluo's fanaticism for Immortal Herbs, which was why he planned to return to the Sect as soon as possible.
Upon returning to the Sect, Yang Xiong immediately found Ning Fengzhi.
After years of careful observation and analysis, Yang Xiong had concluded that major events on the Douluo Continent were basically following the inertia of the original work. In other words, if he didn't deliberately intervene, the historical nodes would likely not change significantly.
This meant that in less than a year, the Spirit Hall would launch the Soul Hunting Operation, which would be the true battle for the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Yang Xiong had already analyzed this war from the original work.
In fact, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's defeat was due to two points: the betrayal of an internal spy and the strength of the enemy.
The spy was likely Qian Renxue. The Spirit Hall's tens of thousands of Soul Masters launched a long-distance raid without any prior warning. This was likely pre-arranged by Qian Renxue, the fake Crown Prince.
Furthermore, during the battle for the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Sect should have had nearly five thousand Soul Masters. According to the Sect's deployment, even facing ten thousand Soul Masters, they wouldn't have suffered too great a loss, especially with the ultimate support provided by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
However, the Spirit Hall seized the opportunity perfectly. Four-tenths of the Sect's disciples were out on missions, making their strength the weakest. It can be said that this timing was definitely calculated by Qian Renxue, otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not have been without the power to fight back.
Another point was that there was indeed a certain gap in strength between the two sides. The Spirit Hall dispatched a full ten thousand Soul Masters, including 4 Titled Douluo, and a thousand Soul Masters from the Lower Four Sects.
Do not underestimate these thousand Soul Ancestors from the Lower Four Sects. These Sect disciples generally had high soul power levels, and even included top Soul Douluo like Huyan Zhen.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, throughout the entire battle, only had the two Titled Douluo, Sword Bone Douluo. In particular, Bone Douluo had to protect Ning Fengzhi the entire time, which put immense pressure on Bone Douluo. Sword Douluo, on the other hand, had to face four Titled Douluo alone.
In fact, Yang Xiong estimated that with the strength of Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi combined, it was entirely possible to fight against four Titled Douluo, especially since everyone on the opposing side was below level ninety-five.
But in the entire battlefield, the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters were endless, and the numbers were simply too disparate. Ning Fengzhi was basically attacked every moment, and the three absolute core members were thus tied down. If Sword Douluo hadn't broken through at the critical moment, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have been completely annihilated.
Now, the entire situation has changed. Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo have all significantly increased their strength, and Lin Gong, a Titled Douluo, has also been added. Both combat power and flexibility have improved considerably. The only fear is that the enemy numbers are too large.
Moreover, Yang Xiong also had a backup plan. Cloud Mist Mountain is only thirty kilometers away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He had deployed a thousand Soul Masters and a Titled Douluo there. If a critical situation arose, the Titled Douluo could arrive in just over ten minutes, and the thousand Soul Masters could arrive within half an hour at most. At that time, it wouldn't be the Spirit Hall's ten thousand Soul Masters achieving victory, but rather how many of their ten thousand Soul Masters could escape.
When Yang Xiong arrived at Ning Fengzhi's place, besides Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Rongrong were also present.
Given Yang Xiong's current status in the sect, he could come and go freely anywhere, even entering the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Treasure Vault at will.
Ning Fengzhi's face lit up with joy. "Little Xiong, you're finally back. I've already heard from Uncle Sword about how you obtained your soul ring. I'm very pleased with your growth."
Yang Xiong said, "I have to thank Teacher Sword Douluo for his help; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain a 100,000-Year Soul Ring so easily."
"Oh, right, Sect Leader, I had some insights during my training outside. Perhaps they are related to our sect's situation, and even concern the sect's safety."
Ning Fengzhi seemed casual. "Little Xiong, you're worrying a bit too much. Our sect is currently developing very well, reaching its peak strength in history. Coupled with the systematic defenses outside the sect, there shouldn't be any problems."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "Sect Leader, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may be powerful, but it's far from the level of the Clear Sky Sect back then. Since the Spirit Hall could attack the Clear Sky Sect back then, they will likely attack our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sooner or later."
"Furthermore, although our sect has developed quite well over the years, the Spirit Hall has actually developed faster. The gap in strength between the two sides is actually growing wider."
Ning Fengzhi's expression became a little serious upon hearing this. "Little Xiong, tell me in detail. What abnormalities did you discover?"
Yang Xiong said, "Sect Leader, you should know that I went to the Star Luo Empire a few years ago. Especially Senior Bai He and Senior Yang Wudi have certain intelligence channels in the Star Luo Empire. Among the Lower Four Sects, the Holy Dragon Sect, Black Tiger Sect, and Wind Sword Sect have secretly defected to the Spirit Hall. The Elephant Armor Sect has always been with the Spirit Hall. This is enough to show that the Spirit Hall's strength is unprecedentedly powerful."
Ning Fengzhi was also startled upon hearing this. "I am relatively clear about the situation of the Elephant Armor Sect. Although they are quite secretive, I can still find some clues. The situation of the Holy Dragon Sect and the others is too far away to investigate, so I didn't expect such a big change."
"If what you say is true, I'm afraid the Spirit Hall's strength is unprecedentedly powerful. Fortunately, the Elephant Armor Sect has suffered heavy losses in recent years and should not pose too much of a threat. However, although Huyan Zhen is missing, it's hard to guarantee they won't resort to other methods."
Yang Xiong quickly spoke up. "Sect Leader, Huyan Zhen has been killed by me. Also killed were a Soul Douluo, three Soul Saints, and Huyan Li from the Elephant Armor Sect."
Ning Fengzhi was shocked again. "Little Xiong, how could you kill so many of them at once? Huyan Zhen has the defensive power of a Titled Douluo and is considered the strongest below the Titled Douluo level."
Yang Xiong smiled. "It wasn't just me who acted. I encountered Huyan Zhen and the others in the Sunset Forest. As a result, I led them near Dugu Bo's Herb Garden. Huyan Zhen was killed by me, and the others were killed by Senior Yang Wudi."
Ning Fengzhi finally nodded. "So it was Yang Wudi who acted. That's not surprising. Yang Wudi's strength should be comparable to Huyan Zhen's, and coupled with you having just obtained a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, you can indeed deal with that group of Huyan Zhen."
"Oh, right, did you clean up the scene? After all, the Spirit Hall is behind Huyan Zhen."
Yang Xiong said, "The scene has been reduced to ashes by me. Even the Spirit Hall should not be able to investigate."
"However, I think our threat is the Spirit Hall. In recent years, the Spirit Hall has been enduring, even when Tang Hao caused a big scene back then, they didn't keep Tang Hao. This shows that they want to hide their strength to do something big. Besides our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, they should have no other intentions."
Ning Fengzhi was silent for a long time before speaking. "Little Xiong, I've had these thoughts of yours for a while. Normally, even among our Upper Three Sects, we would try to eliminate young talents from other families. It is precisely because we felt the threat of the Spirit Hall that we protected Tang San all the way back then. The Upper Three Sects have reduced their conflicts in recent years; otherwise, the Spirit Hall would truly dominate."
"Besides the Spirit Hall hiding its strength, have you discovered anything else?"
Yang Xiong nodded. "Sect Leader, normally the Soul Master Competition is held every five years, but it has been more than four years now, and there has been no news about the next Soul Master Competition. Even the Spirit Hall, the champion team of the last competition, hasn't released any news. It shouldn't be because they have fewer geniuses, but rather that they don't want to continue exposing their strength."
"Based on various signs, the Spirit Hall should make a move against us within three to five years at most."
Ning Fengzhi's face became extremely grim, and he remained silent for a long time before speaking. "Little Xiong, I've always held a glimmer of hope, always feeling that the Spirit Hall wouldn't make a move against us so quickly. It seems your thoughts are correct. When the day comes that the Spirit Hall makes a move, I'm afraid they will destroy our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family with the force of thunder. At that time, no other sect force in the world will dare to resist them, and the Soul Master world will be dominated by them alone."
"Do you have any suggestions on how we should deal with the Spirit Hall? Oh, right, your understanding of the Spirit Hall's strength is still relatively one-sided."
After speaking, Ning Fengzhi directly took out several thick books from his Soul Tool. These books contained a large amount of information about the Soul Master world, mainly about the Spirit Hall.
Yang Xiong opened the book. The first page recorded the Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu, with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo.
Besides Qian Daoliu's soul power level and life records, there were also various battles, big and small, basically the most detailed records of Qian Daoliu, even the age analysis was very clear.
When he opened the second page, it recorded the Second Enshrined, Golden Crocodile Douluo, with the Golden Alligator King Martial Soul, a Level 98 Titled Douluo.
As he opened page after page, Yang Xiong's heart became increasingly shocked. He didn't expect Ning Fengzhi to have such deep research on the Spirit Hall. It seemed there were many spies from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect within the Spirit Hall.
Ning Fengzhi spoke faintly, "Little Xiong, these records were obtained by spending countless resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Many people who provided this information are no longer heard from in the Soul Master world."
"For example, Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo recorded above, these two haven't appeared in the Soul Master world for almost fifty years. No one even knows if they are truly still alive."
"The other great Enshrined are somewhat similar, all people who have disappeared from the Soul Master world for many years, their life or death unknown."
"It is precisely because of the existence of these Enshrined that Spirit Hall has such unfathomable depth. Only by our Upper Three Sects joining forces can we contend with them."
"And although that's what is said, the true reliance is on only one person. Unfortunately, this person has also been missing for fifty years."
After speaking, Ning Fengzhi released another book. On the first page was only one name: Haotian Douluo Tang Chen.
