The Iron Triangle Falls Out

The annihilation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, its grounds razed to the ground, shocked both great empires and Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong was utterly bewildered.

Her Soul Hunting Operation had not even begun, yet someone had already wiped out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

So many bizarre incidents had occurred recently that they gave her a headache.

The identity of that mysterious expert had yet to be uncovered.

Only Qian Daoliu was trembling in fear.

To wipe out an entire sect single-handedly—

By the time they arrived, not a single trace remained. That proved the sect had been exterminated at an astonishing speed.

Even he could not have done it so efficiently.

Under Qian Daoliu's orders, no one from Worship Hall was allowed to involve themselves in this matter. He, too, feared Chen Ping'an.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and the Star Luo Empire had already dispatched experts to investigate.

As for the Heaven Dou Empire, it had also learned the news from Ning Fengzhi but had not sent any experts to investigate.

They, too, feared offending such a super expert.

However, when Xue Ye learned that the mysterious expert from Skywater Academy was the one who had annihilated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he was deeply wary.

If even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not stand against him alone, then the Heaven Dou Empire was in grave danger.

"Sect Master Ning, this matter requires careful consideration."

Xue Ye let out a long sigh.

No matter how powerful an empire was, it could not contend with such an expert.

Moreover, he had previously investigated Skywater Academy.

There were also two immensely powerful Titled Douluo in the academy, both of them Chen Ping'an's people.

"That man is too powerful. Only by joining forces with the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can we stand against him."

At the mention of Chen Ping'an, Ning Fengzhi was consumed with rage.

He wanted nothing more than to skin him alive and devour him.

The vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been leveled by Chen Ping'an with a single sword strike.

Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi spoke through the night, while Xue Qinghe remained silent at the side.

The next day.

At the imperial palace, Tang San and the others arrived after receiving an invitation.

"Third Brother, after I took the Immortal Herb yesterday, my Soul Power directly rose to Level 45. Now we have an even better chance of winning the tournament."

Dai Mubai chattered nonstop along the way. He was simply too excited.

After being stuck for so long, he had finally broken through to Level 45.

"Yes, yes! My Soul Power Level also rose by five levels, and even my martial soul evolved. Now I'm completely and utterly a phoenix!"

Ma Hongjun was even more excited than Dai Mubai. At last, he could cast off the identity of a pathetic grass chicken and become a true phoenix.

Jiang Zhu had improved the most, gaining a full eight levels of Soul Power.

"It's a good thing that everyone has improved. Our overall strength has increased, so winning the tournament will be even easier."

Surrounded by everyone's praise, Tang San was brimming with confidence.

Moreover, after consuming those Immortal Herbs, his Soul Power Level had risen by nine levels in a row, reaching Level 48 and surpassing everyone else.

Even his Purple Demon Eyes had advanced to the Mustard Seed stage.

Of course, Yu Xiaogang was the most excited of all.

He had leapt past the Level 29 bottleneck and reached Level 32, something he had never dared dream of in his entire life.

Even Liu Erlong now regarded him in a new light.

Everyone chatted and laughed along the way.

They had almost completely forgotten about what happened yesterday.

"Teacher, why has Xue Ye summoned us?"

They had originally planned for everyone to go hunt Soul Rings today.

Tang San especially wanted to hunt Soul Rings and see whether he could break through to the great Level 50 threshold in one go.

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and said, "I heard it concerns the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Besides, Xue Ye personally invited us, so there is no reason for us not to come."

Xue Ye was the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire. Being personally invited by him, Yu Xiaogang wished he could have flown here at once.

Flender let out a long sigh. "Sigh, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect provoked someone they should never have provoked. This time, I fear the sect is doomed."

Although the news that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been razed to the ground was being suppressed, Flender could still guess much of it.

Given Chen Ping'an's vengeful nature, he would certainly level the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Flender, what nonsense are you spouting?" Yu Xiaogang scoffed. "That is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects. It possesses the number one support martial soul in the world, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, two Super Douluo, guard the sect. In this day and age, who would dare provoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Heh, no matter how strong the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is, it only has two Super Douluo. That man's power is beyond anything you can imagine."

After what happened yesterday, Flender no longer thought highly of Yu Xiaogang.

But as the Golden Iron Triangle, they could not go too far.

"Enough, enough. Stop arguing. We're almost there."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Liu Erlong immediately stepped in to stop them.

This was the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, after all. Arguing here would be far too embarrassing.

"Hmph!"

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Flender, continuing to maintain his image as a master.

Led by Guard Huang, they soon arrived at the reception hall.

"You all go in. I won't get involved."

Flender could figure out with his toes that they had been summoned because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

His Shrek Academy had already declined into such a state. Although it still had a few little monsters, those little monsters looked beyond saving as well.

Getting involved in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's affairs now would simply be courting death.

"Then wait here."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Flender and said nothing more as he led the others into the reception hall.

"Sigh." Flender sighed and left directly.

Inside the reception hall, not only was Emperor Xue Yue present, but Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Rongrong were also waiting there.

Ning Rongrong had lost her former liveliness and cuteness. Her face now held only coldness.

She had been regretting it all along. If not for her willfulness back then, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not have been razed to the ground.

"Master."

Upon seeing them arrive, Ning Fengzhi immediately stood up.

Though he was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the sect had already been leveled. Aside from his higher rank, he was now a sect master in name only.

Yu Xiaogang smiled. "Sect Master Ning is here as well. A pleasure, a pleasure."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while.

Xue Ye got straight to the point. "Everyone, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was razed to the ground by a mysterious expert. This mysterious expert is very likely a student of Skywater Academy."

Emperor Xue Yue's words stunned everyone present.

Forget a student of Skywater Academy—even its headmaster could not possibly have razed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to the ground.

Yet seeing how serious Xue Ye was, they knew he was not joking.

Liu Erlong asked, "What exactly happened?"

Ning Fengzhi then recounted the entire course of events.

Naturally, Ning Fengzhi did not know about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so he did not know the true reason his sect had been destroyed.

Afterward, Xue Ye revealed his plan.
