After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and slumped onto Bone Douluo's shoulder.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo felt a chill run down their spines. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had originally hoped to rise slowly by relying on the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, but now that both the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Star Luo Imperial Family had been destroyed, what would become of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future?
After hesitating for a long time, Bone Douluo finally spoke, " Fengzhi, what should we do now? If this continues, there may be no place for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School in the world."
Ning Fengzhi forced himself to stand up. "There's always a way out. Let's Heavenly Pursuit Academy; it might be our last hope."
"But Fengzhi, given the current situation, Heavenly Pursuit Academy might not dare to offend the Spirit Hall Empire and take us in. Besides, Heavenly Pursuit Academy has always maintained neutrality and never interferes in our sect's affairs. Even if we get into the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, they might not support us."
Ning Fengzhi's previously quiet eyes seemed to light up a little. "This is no longer the time to talk about these things. Although Heavenly Pursuit Academy has always been neutral, given the current strength of the Spirit Hall Empire, Bibi Dong may not be able to tolerate Heavenly Pursuit Academy anymore?"
" Yang Wudi and Niu Gao are both men of principle. They owe us a favor from back then, so they would never stand by and watch someone die."
"Moreover, Yang Podi of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy is incredibly talented and powerful, with a limitless future. He should at least be able to protect us. If all else fails, we can join Heavenly Pursuit Academy to at least preserve the lineage of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo could only nod helplessly. This was probably the only way for everyone to survive now; otherwise, the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be inevitable sooner or later.
Despite his physical limitations, Ning Fengzhi led Sword and Bone Douluo and his group to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
When Yang Wudi and the others heard that Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo had come together, especially since the three of them were seriously injured and there were only a few dozen disciples around them, they looked like a defeated army.
Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Yang Zhentian, Dugu Bo, and Feng Xuan personally received Ning Fengzhi and his entourage.
Ning Rongrong hugged Ning Fengzhi in tears, and cried uncontrollably.
Seeing the disheveled state of Ning Fengzhi and the others, Yang Wudi couldn't help but ask, " Sect Master Ning, what happened? Why is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in such a sorry state?"
Ning Fengzhi with a bitter expression. "Dean Yang, you flatter me. Two days ago, the Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo of the Spirit Hall Empire led five Titled Douluo to attack my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was almost completely wiped out, and now only this many people are left."
Yang Wudi looked utterly incredulous. "How is this possible? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family are only a few dozen kilometers apart, forming a mutually supportive defensive position. They could easily help each other within half an hour. How could this situation possibly occur?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "To be honest, the Spirit Hall Empire attacked all three of our families at the same time. The battle for the Clear Sky Sect may be even more brutal. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family was also attacked by multiple Titled Douluo, so the situation is probably not optimistic either. We only managed to escape because Uncle Jian desperately tore open a gap. Otherwise, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would probably not exist anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi immediately cursed, "What exactly is the Spirit Hall Empire trying to do? How can they act so shamelessly? They call themselves the holy land of the Soul Master World!"
Those standing nearby turned pale upon hearing this. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that no force could stop the Spirit Hall Empire from unifying the world.
Ning Fengzhi then continued, "May I ask Dean Yang, where is young friend Yang Podi now? Is he at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy?"
Yang Wudi shook his head. " Podi has already gone out to train, and I don't know exactly when he will return."
Ning Fengzhi's face darkened upon hearing this: Yang Podi is currently the strongest member of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. If Yang Podi is not around, others may not dare to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Niu Gao suddenly spoke up, " Sect Master Ning, you don't need to worry too much. Although Podi is not at home, the Spirit Hall Empire wouldn't dare to come to our Heavenly Pursuit Academy so easily. Given the past relationship between our two families, you can rest and recuperate at our Heavenly Pursuit Academy for the time being."
"If the Spirit Hall Empire really dares to come, we old guys aren't pushovers either."
Ning Fengzhi's face was full of bitterness. "Thank you, Dean Niu. With young friend Yang Podi not at home, I was also worried that it might bring disaster to your academy."
Ning Fengzhi understood what Niu Gao meant. The Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan did owe the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a favor back then. Now, by protecting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in return, they were repaying that favor. However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School was in an extremely difficult situation. Protecting them for a short period of time would have no effect, and they would probably be unable to escape destruction in the end.
Ning Fengzhi thought for a long time, then his face suddenly became unusually resolute. "Dean Yang, Dean Niu, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wishes to join the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. I wonder if that's possible?"
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances, clearly surprised by Ning Fengzhi's words.
Yang Wudi thought for a long time before speaking, " Sect Master Ning, you are joking. Our Heavenly Pursuit Academy Douluo I between the various sects. Allowing you to recuperate at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy this time is already an exception. If you really want to join our Heavenly Pursuit Academy, it would be best to wait until Podi returns."
Yang Wudi's words actually reflected the general sentiment. After all, Heavenly Pursuit Academy was in a semi-secluded state. If they were to accept Ning Fengzhi and his group, it would likely cause endless troubles in the future, and might even drag the entire Heavenly Pursuit Academy into an abyss.
Furthermore, the requirements for external forces to join Heavenly Pursuit Academy are very strict. It's unacceptable for an independent small sect to emerge within the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. Moreover, given the current state of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they would likely go to great lengths to seek revenge against the Spirit Hall Empire. What would the rest of the academy think then?
Ning Fengzhi naturally understood Yang Wudi and the others' concerns, and at this moment he was also exceptionally resolute. "Deans, you can rest assured that since we have joined Heavenly Pursuit Academy, we will naturally abide by the rules of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy and will no longer participate in external struggles. If anything is required, you are welcome to suggest it."
Yang Wudi couldn't help but sigh, " Sect Master Ning, why do you have to do this? You should all settle down at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy for now, and we can talk about other things later."
Ning Fengzhi and the other two seemed to understand Heavenly Pursuit Academy's attitude, and could only nod. The specifics would probably have to wait for Yang Podi to return before a decision could be made.
Upon hearing that Ning Fengzhi and the others would be staying at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, Ning Rongrong quickly left the reception room. A short while later, Ning Rongrong pulled Ye Lingling into the reception room.
Ning Rongrong hurriedly said, " Sister Lingling, please help treat my father and two grandfathers. They are seriously injured, which may affect their future cultivation."
Ye Lingling simply nodded, and then a green light emanated from her hand, instantly enveloping Ning Fengzhi and the other two.
In just a short while, the injuries on Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were rapidly healing, and the effect was frighteningly good.
Sword Douluo, being a Level 97 Titled Douluo, clearly felt the changes in his body and couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible? Titled Douluo- level healing Soul Master?"
