In the open area surrounding the Star Dou Forest, various factions clearly defined their respective territories.
Ning Fengzhi had just landed from the sky, his feet not yet firmly touching the ground, when his gaze was fixed on the figure in front of him.
" Bibi Dong, why did she come in person?"
Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.
His mind raced with thoughts:
Logically speaking, the Empress of the Martial Spirit Hall Empire shouldn't need to personally risk her life to deal with such trivial matters.
Sending a few Titled Douluo over here and having them return with a detailed report will suffice.
But Bibi Dong actually came in person...
Ning Fengzhi's sharp eyes, honed by years of business experience, immediately put him on alert.
Could it be...?
Bibi Dong might have other plans, which is why she had to come in person to confirm?
The businessman's keen sixth sense allowed him to detect something unusual in a flash.
Just as he looked across at the other side...
At the same time, Bibi Dong and her group also noticed his gaze.
The moment the two sides met, they instantly became alert, and their Martial Soul were summoned.
If even the slightest spark ignites, a chaotic battle between the two sides will erupt instantly.
The atmosphere was extremely tense, almost to the point of conflict.
Although Ning Fengzhi's side did not have the advantage in numbers, with only two Titled Douluo, Jian and Gu, they were outnumbered.
They were far inferior to Bibi Dong on the other side, who had three Titled Douluo by her side, giving her the combat power of four Titled Douluo.
But if a battle really breaks out...
With Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's blessing, the combat power unleashed by Sword and Bone Douluo was not much weaker.
It will only result in a lose-lose situation.
Ning Fengzhi quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and then took the initiative to break the deadlock.
He took two steps forward, spread his hands slightly, and put on a friendly smile typical of businessmen:
"Fellow members of the Spirit Hall Empire, since we have come here for the same purpose, why not travel together?"
"That way, we can look out for each other when the time comes."
His tone was sincere, and his posture was humble, but his eyes gleamed with shrewdness and composure.
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had already expressed his opinion.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo suppressed their auras, no longer appearing ready to attack at any moment, but the wariness in their eyes did not diminish much.
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes.
Looking at Ning Fengzhi's smiling face, she pondered for a moment, then slowly and deliberately replied:
"Since Sect Master Ning has extended such a sincere invitation, how could I refuse outright? Let us join forces to investigate the cause of the anomalies in the Star Dou Forest."
The Star Dou Forest involves the interests of everyone.
Ning Fengzhi the initiative to come to her, Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't give up.
In situations where the circumstances are unclear.
Gathering all available assistance will only benefit the progress of the matter, and will not do any harm.
When faced with shared interests, even former enemies can temporarily join forces.
at this point.
Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi were both fully aware of the situation.
Hearing Bibi Dong's response, Ning Fengzhi's smile became more genuine.
He naturally understood what the other person was thinking.
Both sides are seasoned foxes, what's the point of playing these ghost stories?
after.
Led by the Spirit Hall Empire, major forces across the continent, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Star Luo Empire, and the Heaven Dou Empire, joined together.
"The outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest is indeed as the intelligence described."
"Moreover, the orderly manner it displayed was simply unlike anything Soul Beast could accomplish; it was strange, utterly bizarre..."
Ning Fengzhi stopped in his tracks, his gaze sweeping over the orderly line of Soul Beast, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
This level of coordination far exceeds the intelligence level of ordinary Soul Beast groups.
"In my opinion, the number of Soul Beast here is too high; it would be better to avoid direct confrontation for now."
Ning Fengzhi suggested.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly.
"Alright, let's do as Sect Master Ning says and find a road where there aren't so many Soul Beast."
actually······
With their combined strength as so many Titled Douluo, breaking through the suppression of the Soul Beast would be incredibly easy.
However, once a battle occurs, there will inevitably be some damage or injury.
No one, whether it's the Spirit Hall Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or any other force, would be willing to do such an unprofitable deal.
The group moved cautiously along the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest, maintaining a subtle tacit understanding between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
They were a dozen steps apart, moving forward side by side without interfering with each other.
They walked around the forest for about half an hour, crossing two areas where Soul Beast were densely concentrated.
suddenly······
Ahead, a noticeably sparser area appeared.
The group was overjoyed.
The group surrounded Ning Fengzhi and other weaker members in the center, forming an oval defensive formation, and marched rapidly toward the gap.
But soon...
Ning Fengzhi immediately sensed that something was wrong.
He stopped and scanned both sides warily.
"Strange, it's too quiet, almost like it was deliberately arranged..."
There were no birdsong, no insect chirping.
The entire forest seemed to be under a spell of silence; even the air seemed to freeze.
He looked around, and the premonition in his heart grew stronger.
But wishful thinking prevailed.
after all······
With so many Titled Douluo around, it's impossible for anything to happen, right?
The group continued on for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when the view ahead suddenly opened up without warning.
What appeared before them was no longer the dense, impenetrable forest, but a perfectly cleared flat area.
The ground was so flat it looked as if it had been rolled by a giant iron, even the protruding tree stumps and protruding rocks were completely flattened.
"What's going on...?"
A Spirit Hall Soul Douluo stared wide-eyed, his voice filled with disbelief:
How could such a large flat area suddenly appear deep within the Star Dou Forest?
He hadn't finished speaking.
boom----
A giant tree, as thick as three people could hug, suddenly collapsed from the side with a loud crash.
It crashed onto the ground with an extremely deep and loud thud, causing the soil and rocks beneath its feet to tremble slightly.
As the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, a massive, fiery red figure stepped out from behind the fallen trees.
It was a Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff, its three heads bowed simultaneously, its six burning eyes fixed on the intruders before it, the heat emanating from its mouth distorting the air with its heat.
Following closely behind...
Several more, even larger figures emerged simultaneously from different directions.
The Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear's massive golden body resembled a moving mountain, while the vines of the Demon Eye Tree silently spread in the shadows.
Behind them were countless Soul Beast, like a tidal wave.
They dispersed, subtly surrounding the forces of the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, forming a loose but extremely oppressive encirclement.
"Careful······"
Sword Douluo gripped the Seven Kill Sword tightly, ready for battle.
"Those who came are no pushovers; some of them have an aura even stronger than mine."
Among the Ferocious Beast present, even the weakest one, the Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff, exuded an aura no weaker than that of a level 95 Titled Douluo.
This lineup, if placed anywhere on the mainland, would be enough to cause a national-level panic.
A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air as the two sides faced off, neither making the first move.
"Gentlemen, you've come all this way, you must be tired..."
And right here, amidst all the attention.
From the shadows at the edge of the forest, a figure emerged step by step.
Tang Wu walked to the front of the beast horde and stopped under the astonished and uncertain gazes of Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, and the various forces.
