Chapter 370: Soul Hunting Operation Ends, Post-War Statistics

Following Dugu Bo's plan, Yu Yuanzhen first took the rest of his family and, just like the Clear Sky Sect, went into temporary hiding, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

However, the personality of this fellow Yu Yuanzhen was completely different from the elders of the Clear Sky Sect back then; his motto was: A dragon can only be a dragon! Always a dragon! It is impossible to let someone beat you and then go and be a dog for them!

For a person like him, having been beaten by the Spirit Hall and then having to hide in such a disgraced state was more painful than killing him.

If not for Dugu Bo promising him that he would not have to hide for long and would definitely be allowed to emerge from the mountains again in a dignified manner, he would rather have let his clansmen hide while he alone fought the Spirit Hall to the end.

In contrast to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, which had preserved at least half of its strength, was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had suffered the tragedy of being wiped out.

Early in the morning, the Spirit Hall's slaughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect finally ended.

After Ning Rongrong and a few others escaped down Seven Treasure Mountain through a secret passage, they immediately rushed toward Tiandou City.

The goal, of course, was to seek help from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family; after all, Ning Fengzhi was still Xue Qinghe's teacher.

Moreover, at this time, it was Xue Qinghe who held power within the imperial palace, as Great Emperor Xue Ye had already fallen into a coma for mysterious reasons two months ago.

Upon learning of this, Xue Qinghe pretended to be furious on the surface and immediately dispatched Ge Long to lead a large army to follow Ning Rongrong for rescue.

In her heart, however, she was joyful; she knew the plan had already succeeded.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the only one among the many sects on the continent that openly supported the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had no Title Douluo, always relying entirely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to hold up the facade; now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was gone, it meant the final line of defense for Heaven Dou had also collapsed.

By the time Ge Long mustered the troops and set out, it was already too late.

When Ning Rongrong and Ge Long returned to the sect in the morning, they could no longer see a single soul; everywhere there were only broken walls and tiles, with corpses strewn across the field.

Those of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and those of the Spirit Hall were piled up like mountains, making it impossible to tell who was who.

Ning Rongrong walked in despair among the piles of corpses, murmuring to herself, "How could it be like this, why did it have to be like this? My home..."

The sect she had once been most proud of had actually turned into this state; how could she believe it?

"Right, Father, Jian Yeye!!!" Suddenly thinking of something, Ning Rongrong ran frantically toward the direction of the Seven Treasure Hall.

Ge Long and the others hurriedly followed.

But what they saw was the scene they least wanted to see.

The Seven Treasure Hall had also been destroyed; before the hall, there were only two corpses.

One was dressed in luxurious clothing, the robe of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master; the other held a broken sword, half-kneeling on the ground, not having fallen, yet no longer breathing.

Without a doubt, these two corpses were Ning Fengzhi and Sword Dao Chenxin.

They were bound to die; the Spirit Hall had expended such great effort, so how could they have let it go without killing these two key figures of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

"No, it can't be, Father, Jian Yeye, wake up, please don't die, Bone Grandpa is already gone, Rongrong only has you left, are you going to abandon Rongrong too?" Ning Rongrong hugged the two of them, crying heart-rendingly. She had never imagined that her family would one day encounter such a great catastrophe.

More than three thousand disciples were wiped out, and bad news continued to arrive regarding disciples who had been out on business.

Now, those still alive, counting her, were not even thirty people.

"Miss Rongrong, please grieve for the departed; the dead are gone. The Spirit Hall acted so ruthlessly; our Heaven Dou Empire will one day help avenge Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo," Ge Long consoled.

Although he was not as heartbroken as Ning Rongrong, his anger was real.

The Spirit Hall's slaughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also damaged the interests of their Heaven Dou Empire.

"Wuwuwu, I don't want revenge, I just want Father and Grandpa to come back to life." Ning Rongrong felt sorrowful in her heart; helpless and alone, she thought of the love her father and two grandpas had always shown her, but now, everything was gone.

She just kept crying, and crying, until she fainted from crying.

Several days later, news that the Upper Three Sects had been attacked by a "mysterious force," the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been wiped out, and the remaining personnel of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had gone missing after suffering heavy losses, spread like wildfire across the entire continent.

No one had expected that the Upper Three Sects, once famous throughout the continent, would fall to such an end.

In fact, as long as they were high-level forces, they all knew in their hearts who this so-called "mysterious force" really was; besides the Spirit Hall, what other force could accomplish such a thing?

But knowing it in their hearts was one thing; no one dared to bring it up and say it directly.

Misfortune comes from the mouth.

Even the Upper Three Sects had been finished off by the Spirit Hall; everyone on the continent had already experienced how powerful and overbearing this force was, and from now on, it was feared that no one would dare to provoke the Spirit Hall again.

At the same time, inside the Spirit Hall, Pope Bibi Dong held a cup of tea, quietly listening to the report from a subordinate Cardinal.

It was just that when that Cardinal was reporting, his legs were trembling the whole time; clearly, this result was very bad.

"In the battle with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a total of eight thousand Spirit Masters were dispatched, killing three thousand of the enemy, but because the enemy's resistance was too fierce, our side suffered nearly four thousand casualties; fortunately, we successfully wiped out the Seven Treasure, with only Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Ning Rongrong, managing to escape with a very small number of people."

"In the battle with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, our side also dispatched eight thousand Spirit Masters; with the help of Luo Mian, we launched a surprise attack into the city, but the intelligence was wrong. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had long discovered Luo Mian's identity as a traitor, and Dugu Bo was also within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. He and Yu Yuanzhen joined forces and completely held off the four Elders. The Ninth Elder was slashed under Yu Yuanzhen's Dragon Claw, the Sea Turtle Elder was poisoned by a deadly toxin, and it was only thanks to the Ghost Leopard Elder ordering a retreat in time that we survived. Our side lost over five thousand Spirit Masters, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family lost about one thousand, and the remaining people fled and their whereabouts are unknown."

Bang—, the teacup in Bibi Dong's hand instantly turned into powder.

"Bastards! A total of sixteen thousand Spirit Masters went, including eight Title Douluo, and it was a sneak attack, yet the result was eight hundred enemies killed for one thousand of our own lost. Are these Upper Three Sects really that strong?"

"Your Holiness the Pope, please calm your anger; this Soul Hunting Operation did indeed encounter quite a few accidents," Demon Bear Douluo reported. "Originally, our wiping out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was very smooth, but halfway through, I don't know what happened; after that Sword Douluo took a pill, he acted like a madman. Not only did he trade his life for ours, but halfway through the fight, he actually broke through to Level 97 on the spot. We could only rely on human-sea tactics, piling up human lives, to successfully kill him!"

"It was about the same on our side," Ghost Leopard Douluo continued. "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was prepared; our surprise attack turned into us being caught like turtles in a jar. We suffered heavy losses from the beginning. If not for our foundation being much stronger than theirs, I fear we would have lost even more miserably."
