Chapter 362: Late Night Surprise Attack: The Calamity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

Late at night, one day later.

The night was very quiet; a whistling wind blew past, and patches of dark clouds obscured the light of the stars and moon, making the earth appear even darker.

Outside the castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, two disciples responsible for patrolling were strolling about. The expressions on their faces looked somewhat weary, and they walked forward inattentively.

As one of the current Seven Great Sects, and with the Clear Sky Sect having lived in seclusion for many years, if not for the attack incident by Lan Xue two years ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have effectively become the head of the continent's sects; it was also the wealthiest Spirit Master sect, holding an extremely lofty status in the world of Spirit Masters.

Precisely because of this, the castle where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was located had been peaceful for too long. So much so that these disciples responsible for patrolling did not need to be too serious. They would never believe that anyone would dare to harbor thoughts against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; besides that female lunatic Lan Xue, who else had such great courage?

Shuddering with a start, the patrol disciple on the left suddenly said to the patrol disciple on the right: "Xiao Yi, why do I feel a bit cold?"

"Did you catch a cold?" Xiao Yi forced his eyes to open a little wider. The time spent cultivating during the day had been a bit long, so much so that by this time, drowsiness was constantly invading his brain.

The patrol disciple on the left shook his head and said: "No! We Spirit Masters rarely get sick. Maybe I'm just too sensitive. Wait for me, I'm going to relieve myself." Saying this, he walked toward the bushes not far away.

Xiao Yi stood there, feeling somewhat bored while waiting for his companion; the area they were patrolling was within a one-kilometer radius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect castle. This type of expanded patrol had continued for many years.

Suddenly, the eyes Xiao Yi was about to close for a nap caught a faint glimmer of light. Immediately following that, his ears twitched.

As a patrol disciple, Xiao Yi's own strength was not strong, and he was only able to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by relying on the shade of his ancestors; however, he possessed an ability that ordinary people could hardly reach: hearing. His martial soul, like Flender's, was an Owl. The difference was that there are many kinds of owls; the kind Flender had was good at combat, while his owl martial soul inherited more of the owl's scouting ability.

The owl of the night hunts almost entirely by hearing, and this was also Xiao Yi's strongest ability.

With a slight movement of his ears, he heard a faint sound of falling. Relying on years of experience, he could clearly distinguish that this was the sound of a human body falling. Not daring to be slow, he hurriedly pushed his hearing to the limit.

Instantly, a series of rustling sounds fell into his ears. Although very light, these sounds surged from all directions like a tide.

"E-nemy—at—tack—" The roar, delivered with an almost shrill voice, was so clear in the silent night.

The next moment, a cold chill had already burrowed in from his back, passed directly through his chest, and pierced through every one of his internal organs.

However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was, after all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. In the very instant before death, a small bamboo tube was flung out by Xiao Yi. Carrying a piercing whistle, a streak of red light shot into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it exploded into a dazzling flower of light.

Xiao Yi's corpse slid from the hands of a person dressed in black. The person in black was clearly somewhat at a loss; at this moment, behind him, countless people in black had already surged over like a tide.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the garrison of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to have such strong scouting ability. A surprise attack seems impossible now, but if we don't act now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will only be better prepared. Since that's the case, full-scale attack!!!" a person in a black robe gave the order.

Countless black shadows rushed out like a tide, heading straight for Seven Treasure City, and at this moment, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, having received the alarm signal, was already shining brightly.

"This is the sect's highest alert, what happened?" Ning Rongrong hurriedly changed her clothes and ran out of her room. In the original work, she was not here at this time; she had gone to Shrek Academy to keep the five-year appointment.

But now, the five-year time had not arrived, and Shrek had long since vanished into thin air. "Eldest Miss, an unknown force has suddenly launched a surprise attack on the sect. The Sect Master has ordered all disciples to assemble, led by you." A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple with a flying martial soul descended from the sky and knelt on one knee before Ning Rongrong to say this.

Ning Rongrong nodded, "Good, pass the order down: no one is to panic. Listen to my command. Spirit Masters above level 50 are to concentrate in the central square to defend against the enemy. Disciples of the affiliated families are to be in the front, and direct sect disciples are to be in the back. Spirit Masters below level 50 are to protect the civilians who have no combat ability and retreat through the South City Gate to the safe area in the back mountains."

When encountering a crisis, panic is the most taboo thing. Ning Rongrong had already been designated by Ning Fengzhi as the successor to the next Sect Master; at this time, she had to fulfill the responsibilities of a leader.

Ever since Bone Douluo died at the hands of Nan Feihuang two years ago because of her willful request.

She could be considered to have received a great lesson, and she also knew one thing: once you provoke someone you shouldn't, you will pay a painful price that is hard to bear.

If one were to ask if she hated the Gu Lei Kingdom, of course she hated it, but she also knew that the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could no longer afford to offend the Gu Lei Kingdom, so she could only endure.

This feeling of endurance, however, also slightly prompted her growth.

At this moment, inside Seven Treasure City, a tragic massacre had already occurred.

The Spirit Hall's fierce attack on Seven Treasure City was not just as simple as destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but to wipe the entire Seven Treasure City off the map.

The sect was in the center of the city; the Spirit Hall entered the city from the North Gate and killed their way in all the way.

Countless Spirit Masters and civilians had all fallen under the sharp sword blades of the Spirit Hall.

Fortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect responded in time, and the affiliated families immediately set up a defensive line in the inner city, which only then temporarily stopped the Spirit Hall's advance.

Snake Spear Douluo was the vanguard of this Soul Hunting Operation by the Spirit Hall. He carried his Snake Spear martial soul, and nine spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and four black—circled his body.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, today is your doomsday. Fifth Soul Skill, Thunder Roar Explosive Kill!" Snake Spear Douluo's strike, filled with thunder, destroyed the defensive line in an instant.

Ordinary Spirit Masters simply could not block the attack of a Title Douluo.

At the critical moment, the Seven Kill Sword descended from the sky and clashed with the snake spear, finally blocking his attack before Snake Spear Douluo could start a massacre.

However, the result of the collision between the Seven Kill Sword and the snake spear was unexpected.

Snake Spear Douluo merely caught the returning snake spear martial soul, his figure not moving in the slightest.

And Sword Douluo, who held the Seven Kill Sword, was forced back more than ten steps by the immense force remaining on the sword body.

Sword Douluo's injury had not healed at all; Nan Feihuang had only temporarily helped him suppress it at the time, and even after it gradually recurred over these years, it had become increasingly severe. He had not taken the Ice Continuation Pill either, because when Nan Feihuang gave him the pill, he told him that the medicinal power could only last for a few hours, and the subsequent side effects would cause the injury to erupt even more severely. Now, he dared not use his full strength at all; he could not even defeat a mere Snake Spear Douluo.
