Chapter 475 Post-Battle Losses.
"Who says otherwise?"
Zhao Wuji sneered, casually tossing the Sea Turtle Douluo's corpse to the ground. "In this Soul Hunting Operation, the Spirit Hall lost three Title Douluos and several Soul Douluos. One of them was even the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect. As for the other Soul Masters, the number is countless, exceeding ten thousand."
"Yes," Xuan Mo's gaze deepened. "The result of this Soul Hunting Operation will likely disappoint Bibi Dong."
"Alright, let's go and meet up."
After scanning the area, Zhao Wuji activated his Soul Skill "Gravity Compression," pulling the Sea Turtle Douluo's corpse back into his hand. Then, he beckoned the Shrek Academy members and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples to head towards Yu Yuanzhen and Ning Fengzhi.
The Soul Hunting Operation thus came to an end.
"Dad."
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's pale face due to excessive soul power depletion from two battles, Ning Rongrong quickly stepped forward and gave him a large sausage made by Oscar, which improved his complexion.
"Father-in-law."
Seeing Xuan Mo also step forward, and then looking at his daughter, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but show a hint of apology.
"Rongrong, Xiao Mo, I'm sorry, you're both engaged..."
"Dad!" Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong shook his arm, stopping him from continuing. Xuan Mo also agreed with Ning Rongrong's actions and then said, "Father-in-law, you can't say that. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's sudden soul-hunting operation, the engagement ceremony would definitely have exceeded our expectations. It's all the Spirit Hall's fault."
A flicker of displeasure and self-reproach flashed in Xuan Mo's eyes. After all, the Soul Hunting Operation and the engagement ceremony were so close in time, and he hadn't prepared at all, catching the Spirit Hall completely off guard with their unpredictable tactics.
"Sigh!" Ning Fengzhi sighed, seeming to have aged considerably. "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was fortunate in this Soul Hunting Operation by the Spirit Hall. Luckily, the core members of the sect were all gathered at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Castle, preventing any damage to the sect's foundation. But..."
At this point, Ning Fengzhi suppressed his anger and took several deep breaths, "But the outer sect disciples brought devastating news, suffering heavy losses, and some even betrayed us!"
"Those ingrates!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately turned red with anger upon hearing this. Xuan Mo gently patted her back, trying to calm her down.
Then, he said meaningfully, "It seems those guys were basically pawns planted by the Spirit Hall more than twenty, even thirty years ago. To have been laying the groundwork for decades, and to have been so patient, shows the Spirit Hall's ambitions are far from small."
"Indeed."
Ning Fengzhi's back looked somewhat lonely as he said in a deep voice, "Their actions are definitely not simply about destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School. Their purpose goes beyond that. On the contrary, the attack on these two major sects is a very clear signal that they are no longer satisfied with the current situation on the continent and want to further strengthen the Spirit Hall's position. So, in the next..."
"Dad, then what about next..."
Before Ning Rongrong could finish her question, Ning Fengzhi reached out and stopped her, "Rongrong, what happens next is not something you should concern yourself with. Leave everything else to Dad."
With that, he walked towards Yu Yuanzhen.
At the same time, Gu Rong casually made a slash, creating a spatial black hole, threw the corpse of the Fierce Demon Douluo into it, and then patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder.
"Rongrong, what's coming next involves the Heaven Dou Empire, and even the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall. It's not something you can get involved in."
He then beckoned to Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong.
"Come on, all of you come here first."
"Father." "Uncle."
"Sect Master." ×4
"Cough cough cough…" At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen, whose complexion had improved somewhat after consuming the Oscar sausage, was surrounded by Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and several sect elders who had been moved away by Yu Yuanzhen.
"I'm asking you, how is the sect now?"
Yu Yuanzhen immediately grabbed Yu Xiaogang's hand, and despite being exhausted and severely injured, he still managed to ask the question.
"This..."
Just as Yu Xiaogang hesitated, the elder with the highest cultivation level broke down in tears, "Sect Master! The core and high-end combat power of the sect are gone except for the four of us old guys. The sect's disciples are less than one in ten left! Sect Master!"
"Pfft!" Yu Yuanzhen, already severely injured, was enraged by this devastating news, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were wide with fury, slightly red, "My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's century-old foundation, thousands of sect disciples have turned to corpses! Spirit Hall, I will never forgive you!"
"Father (Uncle/Sect Master)..."
Looking at Yu Yuanzhen's lonely and sorrowful figure, Dugu Bo and the Shrek Seven Devils could only exchange bewildered glances.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely heavy.
"Old Dragon."
Just then, Gu Rong's voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's gaze immediately met Ning Fengzhi's, who was standing beside Gu Rong. He instantly suppressed his grief, and the unique arrogance and nobility of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan once again became apparent.
"Bone Douluo, Sect Master Ning."
Seeing the newcomers, Yu Yuanzhen forcefully suppressed his injuries, then rose and bowed to everyone, saying, "Sect Master Ning, and everyone else, I owe you all your help today. Otherwise, my life would have been taken by those guys from the Spirit Hall."
"The three upper sects are of one mind; Sect Master Yu, there's no need for thanks."
Then, Flander, Zhao Wuji, and even Dugu Bo all bowed, indicating that this matter was "not worth mentioning."
Then Ning Fengzhi continued, "Sect Master Yu, I think we need to go to the Imperial Family. After all, this matter is far too important."
"I understand, Sect Master Ning, rest assured."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded, immediately agreeing. Given the current situation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the best way to prevent another attack from the Spirit Hall was to seek the Empire's protection.
Moreover, the Spirit Hall's actions are worthy of serious consideration for both empires.
Just as the atmosphere became serious, Gu Rong suddenly spoke up: "Sect Master, Old Dragon, it seems that both of the slain Title Douluos possessed soul bones. What should we do next?"
"Soul bones?"
"That's right."
After less than a second of surprise, everyone nodded in agreement.
After all, it was quite possible for a Spirit Hall Title Douluo to possess a soul bone.
"In that case, what about this soul bone…"
