Chapter 342: Attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
Lv Lingqi's treatment of Nan Feihuang lasted for an entire night.
By the time Feihuang woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.
"Squeak!"
The room door opened, and Lv Lingqi walked out, having already put her armor back on. With a smile on her face, she said, "Father, and everyone, come in quickly; my husband is awake."
Hearing this, the crowd rushed into the room, each more anxious than the last.
Nan Tianchen: "Feihuang, how is your body?"
Xun Yu: "My Lord, we must discuss this incident thoroughly later."
Dian Wei: "This subordinate is incompetent. I was not there when my Lord was in danger, failing in my duty as a guard and causing my Lord to suffer such severe injuries. I truly deserve death."
Nan Feiling: "Oh, you all talk too slowly. Let me ask first, let me ask first! Little brother, did you really kill a Title Douluo? How did you do it?"
Nan Feihuang looked at this chattering group with black lines on his forehead. Did these idiots not know he was still a patient?
"Alright, Father, and everyone, please be quiet. I will tell you the sequence of events exactly as they happened," Nan Feihuang said. "Mother is not here. If I'm not mistaken, she must have learned from the Heaven Spirit Horse that it was Bone Douluo who attacked me, and in her impulse, she flew straight to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to avenge me, right?"
"As expected of the Crown Prince, truly intelligent. Just by seeing that the Queen was not here, you guessed everything," Jia Chong flattered. "That is exactly it. The Queen's speed was simply too fast; we had no time to stop her."
"That's fine, let Mother go give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect another lesson. Anyway, Bone Douluo was killed by me, and Sword Douluo was crippled by her. A mere support sect—the remaining people are no match for her," Nan Feihuang smiled. In truth, he was quite happy to hear that his mother loved him so much that she would storm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect alone to avenge him.
Moreover, he had originally intended to have his mother go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, though not for revenge or to vent anger, but to use the pretext of revenge to accomplish another goal.
It was just that the best-case scenario would have been for Nan Feihuang to wake up and give instructions to Lan Xue before she set off. Now that she had already departed, he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.
So, Feihuang could only hope that his mother's wisdom would be sufficient.
It should be enough, right? Feihuang actually knew his mother wasn't stupid; it was just that her brain liked to shut down at times. After all, she always had her husband or her son by her side—what did she need to use her brain for? She just listened to them and struck when it was time to strike.
Hearing Feihuang's words, the group looked at each other. Although they had heard from the Heaven Spirit Horse that Nan Feihuang might have killed Gu Rong, they had still harbored a sliver of doubt.
Now, hearing him confirm it with his own mouth, they finally believed it completely.
The Crown Prince of their kingdom had actually grown to the point of possessing the strength to kill a Super Douluo.
He was no longer just a genius; he was a powerhouse, one of the strong standing at the top of the pyramid in the current world. Although his level was still only that of a Spirit Saint, his standing was higher than that of Jia Chong, the head of a sect, and Long Gong, the head of a clan.
"The matter is as follows..." Nan Feihuang looked at the crowd and recounted the events in detail.
Everyone here could be considered high-level officials of the country, and Nan Feihuang had no doubts about them.
The saying goes: do not suspect those you employ, and do not employ those you suspect. Thus, he did not hide anything.
Meanwhile, it had taken Lan Xue less than a night to fly from the Gulei Kingdom to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She did not have a flight-type martial soul, nor could she fly by riding a halberd; her flight ability was not strong to begin with. It was entirely due to her burning anger that she had such speed.
"Ning Fengzhi, get out here! Mysterious Ice Break!" Lan Xue roared, casually unleashing an ice dragon.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a pagoda that symbolized their martial soul; it was a landmark building and usually unoccupied. Lan Xue's ice dragon charged straight at the tower, blasting it into rubble. Although she was angry, she still retained a sliver of reason. She had come this time only to settle accounts with Ning Fengzhi and the others.
She did not intend to harm the ordinary people in Seven Treasure City or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
This move was both a deterrent to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and a warning to the commoners in the city. She was here to cause trouble, and she had destroyed the iconic building symbolizing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda without hesitation. Those who didn't want to die should get far away.
"Wh-who is that? Why would she dare to destroy our sect's Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
"A Title Douluo? Holding a halberd, an ice-attribute Title Douluo? It's the Mysterious Ice Douluo!"
"Is it her? How did our sect provoke her to suddenly rush over and become our enemy?"
"Never mind that, run for your lives! I've heard rumors about this woman—she doesn't care about her life when she fights. If a battle between Title Douluos breaks out later, I don't want to be caught in the crossfire."
Lan Xue's action indeed attracted the attention of the entire city, and just as she had expected, those who were frightened began to flee in all directions.
After all, for ordinary people, or even mid-level Spirit Masters, being caught in a battle between Title Douluos was a nine-deaths-and-one-life situation.
They did not know the news of Gu Rong's death. To avoid causing panic and turmoil within the sect, Ning Fengzhi had chosen to conceal the news of Gu Rong's death, but today, it seemed it could no longer be hidden.
"Sigh, she's here after all, that madwoman." Inside the Seven Treasure Hall, Ning Fengzhi sighed. Ever since the day Gu Rong went out to pursue Nan Feihuang, he had known this day would come.
Because this Lan Xue never knew how to write the word "calm." Even though she was ice-attributed, she was more hot-blooded than those with fire attributes.
In fact, Ning Fengzhi had long since prepared himself mentally, but his original plan was that since Nan Feihuang was already in his hands, Lan Xue would have to be cautious even if she were angry, and would be forced to agree to his conditions.
Moreover, if it were at his own home, even if Sword Douluo could not fight, Bone Douluo, supported by him, would absolutely not be without the strength to fight Lan Xue, not to mention that there were several Spirit Douluos in the sect.
If each person had a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda behind them, it was not impossible to clash slightly with a Title Douluo.
By then, if Lan Xue found it difficult to break through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from the front and could not bring a large army to attack—which would be a provocation to the Heaven Dou Empire—she would have no choice but to agree to his conditions: heal Sword Douluo, exchange for Nan Feihuang, and promise that the grievances between the two forces would be wiped clean from then on.
It was a pity that all of this could only exist in his original fantasies. From the moment the scout brought back not Nan Feihuang, but Gu Rong's corpse, all his ideas were shattered.
Without Nan Feihuang, Lan Xue had no constraints, and this madwoman was capable of anything.
And without Bone Douluo, there was no one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who could contend with her. This time, it would likely become the greatest disaster in the sect's history.
Therefore, as early as yesterday, he had secretly arranged for people to send Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and the other younger generation away first.
"Not coming out, are you? First Soul Skill, Mysterious Ice Slash!" Seeing that the ordinary people had mostly run away, Lan Xue swung her halberd again.
The freezing power launched a direct assault on the Seven Treasure Hall.
However, this attack was blocked. It was not by the power of one person, but by the combined strength of fourteen Spirit Douluos, and behind every Spirit Douluo stood a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master providing support.
Ning Fengzhi personally took action, supporting an eighty-eighth-level Spirit Douluo; this person was likely the strongest in the sect besides Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Lan Xue gave a cold laugh. "Finally out, are you? Ning Fengzhi, why is this all Spirit Douluos? Where are the two Title Douluos of your sect? Call them both out; what do I, Lan Xue, have to fear?"
