"Fengzhi!" Sword Douluo Chen Xin walked over at that moment. He was covered in wounds as well. After all, Tang Chen was invincible on land. In a head-on one-on-one battle, there was no way things would end well.
"Old Sword Man... Tang Chen, that bastard, truly is invincible on land. When we fought him head-on, we were no match for him at all. He's far too powerful. Is this what a level 99 Limit Douluo is like? The gap is really this enormous?!"
"My Bone Dragon's defenses couldn't even withstand that bastard's attacks. Honestly, I thought that after reaching level 95, even if the gap was large, it wouldn't be this large. But I never expected it to be this overwhelming. I couldn't even take a single hit from him. I had to use soul skills just to block his ordinary attacks."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong was furious as well. He had originally thought the difference between level 95 experts would not be too great. He never expected the gap to be this vast. They simply could not defeat him.
Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect were both among the Upper Three Sects. Yet Tang Chen, the previous generation's Clear Sky Sect Master, had disregarded the obvious rules between the Upper Three Sects for the sake of obtaining Bibi Dong. He had directly attacked them, killing and injuring many outstanding disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
These outstanding disciples all had the potential to become Spirit Douluo or Soul Sage. Some were merely Soul Emperors, but their martial souls were special and highly useful as well.
It could be said that this loss had dealt the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a severe blow. Too many disciples with exceptional martial souls had died or been injured, as had many disciples who could have become high-level Soul Sages or Spirit Douluo.
All of this had been brought about by those bastards from the Clear Sky Sect.
"Fengzhi! The facts have proven that the Clear Sky Sect is nothing good. Though they are one of the Upper Three Sects alongside us and supposedly fight Spirit Hall together with us, what have they actually done? Have they treated us as teammates? Have they treated us as companions?"
"We can no longer stay mixed up with the Clear Sky Sect. In the future, when Rongrong is born, we absolutely cannot let her get involved with Tang San either."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin spoke at that moment. In his view, if Ning Rongrong got involved with Tang San in the future, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly would be finished.
Even the first-generation Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect was this kind of person. Who could guarantee that Tang San would not be the same? Besides, they had long realized that Tang San was no good person. They simply had not exposed him.
"Clear Sky Sect, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not... let this matter end just like that. If you are heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless! Tang Chen, is it? Aren't you known as invincible on land? Then we'll go seek refuge with Spirit Hall!" Ning Fengzhi said, finally making up his mind.
"What!"
"What!"
The two guardian Douluo were both dumbfounded. Ning Fengzhi, listen to what you're saying!
"Fengzhi?! Are you sure you haven't gone mad? We have a grudge against Spirit Hall! We're going to seek refuge with Spirit Hall? Are you sure that's not a problem? And Spirit Hall may have reincarnators now. Are you sure this is fine? Are you sure those people from Spirit Hall won't tear us apart?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin knew very clearly how ruthless Dugu Bo had been when he massacred Spirit Hall members. Everyone in an entire city had died just like that. How deep do you think that hatred was? Especially since it had been a massacre they had never permitted.
During the battle at Jialing Pass, Dugu Bo unleashed the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, killing or injuring roughly four hundred to five hundred thousand soldiers of the Spirit Hall Empire. Of the original five hundred thousand troops stationed there, only around one hundred thousand barely survived after Tang San purified the poison with the Sea God's Light. The rest were essentially wiped out, and soul masters below level 70 had almost none survive.
With so many people dead, they definitely had a blood feud with Spirit Hall.
"Fengzhi! Although my relationship with Old Sword Man is usually not very good, and our views differ greatly, I agree with him this time. How many people died at Jialing Pass? No one could ever forget that. If Spirit Hall has reincarnators, they will certainly remember this hatred. How could they possibly be willing to help us? How could we form an alliance with them?"
"Are you sure revenge hasn't driven you mad? If this blood feud were mine, I would never agree to it. In any case, I absolutely won't agree."
After hearing his two old friends, Ning Fengzhi helplessly explained.
"We can help them scheme against the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
"You!"
"What?!"
The two of them were dumbfounded again, unable to understand what Ning Fengzhi was thinking.
"Listen to me. They must be troubled by the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire. They have reincarnators, and our situation has been exposed as well—from the moment we went to seize Bibi Dong, the people of Spirit Hall knew that we also had reincarnators."
"So to them, we must be a problem too. But if we are willing to help them deal with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and are willing to use the entire national strength of the Heaven Dou Empire to support Spirit Hall, then we can pass down our legacy safely."
"Then Spirit Hall can deal with the Clear Sky Sect for us."
"In my view, this is a deal they will not refuse. And if we... the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, continue helping the Clear Sky Sect oppose Spirit Hall, we will become cannon fodder sooner or later. Haven't you seen how Tang Chen treats us?"
"He never regarded us as teammates or comrades at all. There is no need for us to help them."
"If they are heartless, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the two began to ponder for a long time. After an intense internal struggle, they finally made their decision.
"Fine. But no matter what, we must be careful. Spirit Hall's reincarnators surely have a blood feud with us as well. If they intend to set us up, we will end the plan and support the Heaven Dou Empire in fighting them instead."
"Or we can all move into some remote mountain forest and hide. Let them fight each other to the death while we hide away ourselves."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo said this.
They had never particularly wanted to seek refuge with either the Clear Sky Sect or Spirit Hall. But now they had no choice. Who told them they had no Limit Douluo? A Limit Douluo was the only kind of existence capable of changing the course of battle. The power of a Limit Douluo was unstoppable.
The problem was that they did not have one. Even Sword Douluo's father had only been a level 98 Titled Douluo. There was still a considerable gap between him and a Limit Douluo.
"Make preparations. Seeking refuge with Spirit Hall is the only way I can currently think of to retaliate against the Clear Sky Sect, and it is also our only path to survival in these chaotic times."
"If it truly comes to that, we can only hide in the deep mountains and forests."
