Gathering at Starfall Mountain
"Have you heard? The Clear Sky Sect has been in trouble again. I heard that this time the entire Mountain Gate was wiped out."
"Oh."
The major powers on the mainland seemed to have long been accustomed to this; this was the third time already, so it wasn't surprising that the Clear Sky Sect had been destroyed.
This only intensified their fear of the Spirit Hall, leading to more frequent interactions between their forces and a growing tendency to gravitate towards major sects like the Star Crown Sect.
Ning Fengzhi was drinking tea in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, watching his most beloved daughter Ning Rongrong playing with her friends. With Xue Qinghe's matter resolved, he could say that a weight had been lifted from his heart.
Now Marshal Ge Long has supported Xue Beng to take the throne and rule the entire Heaven Dou Empire. He has punished a number of officials with a tough style, and the atmosphere is even better than when Xue Ye was in power.
Their attitude towards the Spirit Hall also hardened somewhat, and many of the subtle favors that Xue Qinghe had given them were all taken back.
The only thing that made him somewhat regretful was that Xue Ye, with whom he had spent many years and could barely be considered a friend, had passed away.
After Xue Qinghe's downfall, Yang Wudi examined Xue Ye again and found that the poison had penetrated to his bone marrow and he was nearing death.
In order to allow him to exert his last bit of energy and make Xue Beng's ascension to power more legitimate, everyone had Yang Wudi use the secret medicine of the Breaking Clan to burn his last bit of life force, which briefly brought him back to consciousness.
After regaining consciousness, Xue Ye remained silent for a long time upon learning of Prince Xue Xing's death and that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was an imposter from the Spirit Hall.
He looked at his young fourth son, Xue Beng, kneeling before the bed, and then at the edict of succession and the will appointing Marshal Ge Long in his hands, and felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
Under the watchful eyes of Marshal Ge Long and Ning Fengzhi, Xue Ye signed the two edicts. Her only request was that, regardless of the outcome, they must preserve the Xue Family's bloodline.
The sudden death of Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire has plunged the nation into mourning. Xue Beng's ascension to the throne also signifies that the Heaven Dou Empire has entered a new chapter.
"Finally, we can rest for a while. Ning Rongrong, you're not allowed to bully your companions."
"Okay~".
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong, who was playing in the yard. Although she was young, she already showed some signs of being a little devil. He shook his head with a smile. His two uncles really spoiled her.
He picked up his teacup, about to take a sip, when suddenly a black hole appeared in the hall Bone Douluo walked out from inside, went straight to the door, and closed it.
Oh no, something bad has happened again. Ning Fengzhi looked at Bone Douluo's actions, a bitter smile on his lips, and a bad premonition in his heart.
"Feng Zhi, the Clear Sky Sect has been attacked again."
"What were their casualties this time? Do you know who did it?"
"The entire Mountain Gate is gone, and no Clear Sky Sect members were found at the scene. Judging from the corpses, Tang Xiao should still be alive."
As for the culprit, I think besides the Spirit Hall, no one else would dare to lay a hand on them. I just don't know why this time it was for such a reason.
This is serious. The Mountain Gate is gone. Ning Fengzhi picked up his teacup and took a sip, speechless. Why does this number one sect in the world always have problems?
However, he also knew the seriousness of the situation. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was destroyed, the Clear Sky Sect was completely defeated and its Sect Master was nowhere to be found. Now, the one standing in front of them was their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
At this time, Ning Fengzhi was unaware that Qian Daoliu looked down on them and that the Star Crown Sect was the real threat to the Spirit Hall.
"Bone Uncle, pack your things and prepare a gift. We're setting off now."
Where are we going?
"Star Crown Sect."
Meanwhile, after absorbing a lot of souls at the Clear Sky Sect, Bibi Dong returned to the Spirit Hall and began to go into seclusion to digest what she had gained, successfully breaking through to Level 96.
Just as she was about to call upon her two only Titled Douluo subordinates to hunt down Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she discovered that they were not in the Spirit Hall at all.
"Someone, where have Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo gone?"
"Your His Holiness the Pope, the two gentlemen said that their strength is too weak to be of good help to Your Majesty, so they chose to go out and train in the hope of improving their strength."
"Okay, I got it. You can do it next time."
Sitting on her throne, Bibi Dong lightly tapped her Mask with her long fingernail. She didn't care where Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo had gone; all she knew was that her helper in hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was gone.
Should I ask Qian Daoliu for help? No, impossible. I will never bow down to him.
Bibi Dong sat on the Pope throne, deep in thought. In truth, she was capable of hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on her own, but what she desired were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with even stronger bloodlines.
She set her sights on the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape from the battlefield, which presented a challenge. Even if they were no match for Bibi Dong, escaping would still be no problem.
Bibi Dong originally thought that with Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo's Two Extremes Stillness Domain, they wouldn't be able to escape at all. Now that the two are gone, Soul Hunting can only call on Hu Yanzhen and Tuo Baxi, since speed is not their strong point at all.
While sending people to find the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, she began to look for suitable helpers among the Elder of the Spirit Hall.
Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, whom Bibi Dong had been talking about, had arrived in the southwest of the continent. Looking at the mountains in front of him, Chrysanthemum Douluo put down the map in his hand.
"Old Ghost, it's probably around here."
"Will this work? We're from the Spirit Hall. Will the Star Crown Sect kill us?"
"Give it a try. This may be the only chance I'll ever have in my life to come into contact with a real Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."
"Okay, whatever you say, but this mountain range is so big, how are we going to find it?"
"We can wait until night. I've heard that Starfall Mountain at night is one of the most beautiful sights on the mainland."
The two Douluo began to wait on the small hill. Ever since Chrysanthemum Douluo smelled the scent of Immortal Herbs on Xu Mingxi in Beast Suppression City, he had never forgotten it; it was his lifelong dream.
Furthermore, given Bibi Dong's tyranny and the Elder Hall's dislike of the two of them, perhaps joining the Star Crown Sect would be a good option.
"Wait, Yue Guan, look who's that?"
"Ning Fengzhi? What is he doing here? Could he also be heading to the Star Crown Sect?"
Ning Fengzhi was flying in the sky with Sword Bone Douluo, saw Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo on the hillside after being reminded. With a quick thought, he had Bone Douluo take him down.
"Sect Master Ning, it's been a long time."
"You two Your Excellencies, are you also going to the Star Crown Sect?"
"That's right, but we don't know the exact location, which is why we're waiting again."
"I'm also going to visit the Star Crown Sect. Why don't you two come with me?"
Just as Ghost Douluo was about to agree, Chrysanthemum Douluo forcibly pulled him back.
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Ning. We are not in a hurry. If possible, please pass on a letter of greeting to the Star Crown Sect Master on our behalf."
"Good."
