The Ye Clan was brightly lit at night, with disciples holding weapons standing on the city walls looking down ahead. After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was wiped out, the Ye Clan increased the patrol efforts of its disciples.
Now that news of Sect Master Ye Ping'an has finally arrived, Dugu Bo and the others have finally found their anchor after Yang Wudi brought back news of Ye Ping'an from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Old Goat, the Sect Master told you he's in Heaven Dou City, is that right?" Bai He asked, sitting in the Council Hall with a solemn expression.
"That's what the sect leader said, but the Speed Clan disciples who returned from Heaven Dou City reported that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect launched a large-scale rebellion and has already clashed with the army of the Heaven Dou Empire, resulting in countless deaths and injuries."
As soon as Yang Wudi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
A rebellion broke out in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Heaven Dou Empire dispatched troops to suppress it.
If given either of these two events, they would rather believe that the Heaven Dou Empire would send troops than believe that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would rebel.
Because this is not in line with Ning Fengzhi's style. How could he, the sect leader of one of the Upper Three Sects, possibly rebel?
" Xue Ye is seriously ill in bed, and given his advanced age, every change of imperial power has been fraught with bloodshed. The Ye Clan has developed to this point, and given the turbulent situation in Heaven Dou City, let's wait for news from our sect leader. He doesn't seem like the type to sit idly by and wait for his demise," Dugu Bo said in a deep voice.
Just then, a member of the Defense Clan, responsible for guarding the sect, came to report.
"Elders, Tai Long of the Strength Clan has come to our aid!"
"Rescue?" Niu Gao's voice rose a few decibels.
"Let Tai Long in; the old gorilla might be in danger," Yang Wudi said.
A short while later, Tai Long limped in.
At this moment, Tai Long was covered in blood and had injuries of varying sizes all over his body. He had been rushing from the stronghold of the Strength Clan in Heaven Dou City to the Ye Clan encampment outside Sunset Forest.
Tai Long exerted all his strength because there were still people waiting for him. The lives of more than two hundred Spirit Master in the family all depended on him.
" Tai Long! What exactly happened to the Strength Clan?" Bai He came to Tai Long's side, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao also stood up, scrutinizing Tai Long.
Judging from the numerous injuries covering his body, it's clear that the Strength Clan is likely in grave danger.
After taking a sip of water, Tai Long breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Our clan was attacked, and Titled Douluo was involved. Our clansmen suffered heavy losses before I left."
"Grandpa Niu, Grandpa Bai He, Grandpa Yang, I beg you, you must go and save the Strength Clan! If it's too late, Grandpa might not be able to hold on."
Upon hearing the news that the Strength Clan had been attacked, Niu Gao and the other two immediately changed their expressions.
Someone has turned against the Strength Clan; who is behind this?
This question lingered in everyone's minds for only a moment before Yang Wudi Soul Breaking Spear into the ground. The crisp clang, accompanied by cracks appearing on the ground, drew everyone's attention.
"What are you waiting for? Let's hurry to the Strength Clan to provide support, or it will be too late." Yang Wudi was an impatient man, and after hearing the news that the Strength Clan was about to be wiped out, he could no longer sit still.
Since Tai Tan persuaded the three to leave Ye Clan and proposed that their four families form a new sect, the relationship between Niu Gao and the other two and Tai Tan has become very delicate, and they have lost contact since then.
But the four of them had left Clear Sky Sect together and were brothers for decades, so it was impossible for them to become estranged because of one thing.
"Stay calm."
Dugu Bo, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "This is very likely Lure the Tiger Out of the Mountain by the enemy. Our mission is to stay and guard the sect. Heaven Dou City is in a state of extreme chaos right now. The Heaven Dou Empire at war with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and we haven't figured out the reasons for this yet."
"Such unauthorized actions could very well cause irreparable disaster for the sect."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Yang Wudi, who had originally planned to go and provide support, became complicated.
One is a brother, the other is a sect; it's really hard to choose.
"But..." Niu Gao frowned. It was really difficult for him to make a decision when faced with this choice.
"Grandpas, I beg you! If you're late, they won't be able to hold on!" Tai Long kowtowed repeatedly, his face covered in blood, his eyes filled with pleading and hope.
For a moment, everyone was undecided, finding it really difficult to make a decision.
Just then, a letter pierced the sky and landed precisely in front of Dugu Bo.
"The sect leader has sent a letter!"
Dugu Bo's eyes were sharp; the handwriting on it was indeed Ye Ping'an's.
"Quick! What did the sect leader say in his letter?" Niu Gao asked impatiently.
Dugu Bo unfolded the letter, quickly scanned it, and his expression changed slightly. He said, "I really can't imagine that this is the reason."
Dugu Bo put down the letter and, after sorting out his thoughts, said, " Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng have already defected to the Spirit Hall. They tricked Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo into going to the Heaven Dou Empire's palace under the pretext that Xue Qinghe was plotting a rebellion."
"Then, the Spirit Hall disciples, who were hiding in the city, disguised themselves as soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire and suddenly launched an attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"But that doesn't make sense. Xue Ye is seriously ill in bed, and all military and national affairs have been entrusted to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Without his orders, how could the Heaven Dou Empire's army possibly take action against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School?" Niu Gao raised his doubts.
"Don't forget, the Spirit Hall has already infiltrated Heaven Dou City. It is the Spirit Hall, not the Heaven Dou Empire, that is currently at war with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Bai He emphasized.
"Is there anything else the sect leader needs to say?" Yang Wudi asked with a solemn expression.
"The sect leader also said that Yu Xiaogang was involved in this, and it was his Avengers Alliance who ambushed the Strength Clan. Back then, after Yu Xiaogang fled to the Spirit Hall, he was received by Pope Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong instructed Yu Xiaogang to go to sea and sent people from the Spirit Hall to escort him."
"Overseas, Yu Xiaogang has gathered a large number of people, including a Titled Douluo. The Spirit Hall and the Avengers Alliance worked together to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. This time, the Avengers Alliance have set their sights on the Strength Clan."
"But it is related to Tang San."
" Tang San?" Everyone was puzzled. " Tang San used to be Yu Xiaogang's disciple. Could it be that this guy destroyed the Strength Clan because he saw Tang San's connection with the Strength Clan?"
"What you said is pretty much correct. The sect leader ordered Yang Wudi and Niu Gao to support the Strength Clan, while Bai He and I stayed behind to oversee the sect."
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he added, "Remember not to get involved in the conflict with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This is a competition between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The last sentence of the sect leader's letter said that if Ye Clan wants to become the strongest sect in the Heaven Dou Empire, we must learn to sit back and watch the tigers fight."
