At this moment, Heaven Dou City is like being thrown into a lake with a huge boulder.
On the surface it is still bustling and noisy, but secretly it is full of waves and undercurrents.
Countless eyes and thoughts are all directed in the same direction - Clear Sky Sect.
Not only Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Heaven Dou Imperial Family who were very close at hand, but also all the big and small forces with some names and some eyes and ears on the mainland, after receiving the earth-shattering news, almost all of them unanimously sent out their respective representatives and rushed towards the Clear Sky Sect mountain gate as quickly as possible.
Clear Sky Sect As the former number one sect in the world, the location of its mountain gate is not a secret.
At this moment, on all the roads leading to the Clear Sky Sect, there is an endless stream of cars and horses, and flags are fluttering, many of which represent the symbols of major kingdoms, principalities, sects, and families.
In the sky, there are occasionally powerful Soul Masters that do not hide their aura and fly away, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
Everyone knows that a drama worthy of being recorded in the history of the Douluo Continent is about to begin in the Clear Sky Sect.
It was Spirit Hall who took action against the Clear Sky Sect!
That behemoth that has been passed down for thousands of years, has unfathomable heritage, and is known as the Soul Master Holy Land in the Mainland!
On the other side, there is Clear Sky Sect, who was once powerful in the world, but now although he is in decline, his power still remains!
Regardless of the outcome, regardless of whether Tang Chen has truly fallen, the head-on collision of these two top forces, its process and outcome, will surely have a profound impact on the future continental structure, and is destined to be written down in history.
At this moment, a carriage that was not luxuriously decorated but exuded restraint and nobility was driving smoothly on the official road leading to the Clear Sky Sect.
The four horses pulling the cart are extraordinary, and their hooves make a crisp and rhythmic sound when they step on the bluestone road.
The interior of the carriage is spacious and elegantly decorated.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, dressed in white and with an elegant face, is holding a volume of ancient books and reading quietly in the light of the car window.
His posture was relaxed, as if he was not going to watch a potentially bloody sect battle, but instead attending an elegant cultural gathering.
Opposite him, two old men sat side by side.
A man dressed in white as snow, with a stern face and a sharp and restrained aura, is the white jade pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
The other person has a slightly stooped figure, an odd face, but piercing eyes. He is Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's purple golden beam, Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
Chen Xin looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, then turned his head and looked at Ning Fengzhi, who was still calm and composed, and finally couldn't help but speak, breaking the tranquility in the carriage:
"Fengzhi, tell me...Tang Chen, is that old guy dead?"
His voice was steady, but there was a hint of inquiry and doubt in his eyes that could not be concealed:
"If Spirit Hall is not dead, and Spirit Hall is so grand this time, even announcing to the world that he will destroy Clear Sky Sect, are you not afraid that Tang Chen will come back in the future and fight them to death? The price is not comparable to that of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"But if you die..."
Chen Xin paused, his eyes flashed. "Spirit Hall Why did you choose to take action at this time? And make it known to everyone?"
Gu Rong on the side heard Chen Xin mention the possibility that Tang Chen was dead, and his eyes that were originally a little sleepy suddenly widened.
Immediately afterwards, he sat upright suddenly, with undisguised excitement on his face, and said urgently:
"Old swordsman, you mean...Tang Chen, that old monster, maybe he really belched his fart?"
He rubbed his hands, as if gold coins were flashing in his eyes:
"Doesn't that mean... from now on, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be truly the number one sect in the world?"
The best sect in the world!
These six words are like having magic power. Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who has always been calm and self-possessed, can't help but feel a trace of passion and expectation in his eyes.
As the guardian of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he naturally hopes that the sect can take a further step and reach the top.
This not only means supreme glory, but also massive resources, top talents, and a greater say in the future mainland chess game!
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth that is unparalleled in the country, if coupled with the reputation of the number one sect in the world, they are absolutely sure that they can push the sect's strength and heritage to a higher level in the shortest possible time!
After all, once Clear Sky Sect falls, those geniuses Soul Master who were originally attached to the Clear Sky Sect, or who yearned for the title of the best sect in the world, and strong men from all sides, in addition to turning to the Spirit Hall, the most ideal choice is undoubtedly Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who is also Upper Three Sects and is famous for his wealth and auxiliary abilities!
This temptation is too great.
However, just when Gu Rong was almost dancing and Chen Xin was also feeling a little excited, Ning Fengzhi, who had been reading quietly, gently closed the ancient book in his hand and let out an almost inaudible sigh.
He raised his head and glanced calmly at the two excited protectors Douluo.
That handsome and elegant face was still calm and indifferent.
He shook his head slowly, his voice gentle but with a calmness of insight into the facts:
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Bones, things... may not be as simple as we thought."
He paused, collected his thoughts, and said:
"According to the information I have received so far, the reason for the Spirit Hall's attack on the Clear Sky Sect this time is not because he confirmed the life and death of senior Tang Chen, so he wanted to take the opportunity to annex Clear Sky Sect and replace him."
The sound of Ning Fengzhi is clear and smooth:
"The real reason seems to be that Clear Sky Sect's young master, Tang Hao, snatched an extremely precious treasure from a force that was closely related to the Spirit Hall. Not only did he refuse to return it, he even injured the other party's people. That's why the other party aroused the wrath of thunder. Together with the Spirit Hall, they branded Clear Sky Sect to demand an explanation."
"In other words, this is more like an action to retaliate and establish power due to a dispute over treasure grabbing. Its core goal is to recover the stolen treasure and punish the perpetrators, rather than... to completely destroy Clear Sky Sect and seize its title as the number one sect in the world."
Ning Fengzhi's words were like a basin of ice water poured on the fire of hope that Chen Xin and Gu Rong had just ignited.
The excitement on the faces of the two people faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by a hint of surprise and deeper disappointment.
It seems that they are all targeting Clear Sky Sect, but the nature of it is completely different.
If Spirit Hall confirms that Tang Chen is dead and wants to take the opportunity to eradicate his opponent and annex his sphere of influence, that means he will not stop fighting. Clear Sky Sect will inevitably be doomed, and the title of the number one sect in the world will inevitably change hands.
But if it is just to recover stolen goods, the nature becomes dispute resolution.
As long as Clear Sky Sect is willing to surrender, hand over the treasure, and pay a sufficient price to calm the other party's anger, then the situation may be controlled or even calmed down.
In that case, although Clear Sky Sect will be seriously injured and disgraced, as long as Tang Chen's death is not confirmed for one day, the deterrence of Tang Chen's No. 1 sect in the world will still exist.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still dare not show their fangs to the Clear Sky Sect easily and launch a war of annexation.
After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that there may be a prehistoric beast squatting behind the camel that may return at any time.
"Oh... I'm so happy for nothing."
Thinking of this, Gu Rong was like a deflated ball, and sat down again, with a face full of disappointment.
Chen Xin also had a trace of regret in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Seeing the two protectors Douluo looking disappointed, Ning Fengzhi showed a gentle smile on his face and comforted him:
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Bones, it doesn't have to be like this. Things are unpredictable. Maybe... the development of things may not be as we speculate at this moment?"
He looked out the window at the rapidly retreating scenery with deep eyes:
"Since Spirit Hall dares to make such a big show of things, put things out in the open, and invite people from all over the world to watch the ceremony, his determination is probably not small. The final outcome depends on what the other party, and Tang Hao, will choose."
"We'll just wait and see what happens."
Not long after Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the driver's respectful report came from outside the carriage:
"Sect Master, at the fork in the road ahead, we met Mrs. Moonlight Pavilion Yue's carriage. It seems that she has just come out of the city. Do we want to stop and say hello?"
