Chapter 60: Half the Forces Lost, Ning Fengzhi Retreats

Ning Fengzhi is currently gambling entirely, and having reached this point, there is not much of a way back.

Because going back would require experiencing the Killing Array once more, and how could the three heavily injured people make it back?

Having reached this point, he can only continue; Ning Fengzhi even feels that this place might be a trap dug by the Spirit Hall.

In less than an hour, three Spirit Douluo and two clan elders died; this loss is truly too great.

"Fengzhi, shall we continue?" Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo asked simultaneously.

"Let's continue! We have already suffered such great losses; if we don't continue, how can we discover the secret here?" said Ning Fengzhi.

In truth, Sword Douluo already somewhat did not want to let Ning Fengzhi continue, but under these circumstances, it seemed there were no other good choices.

One hour later, after several Spirit Douluo had recovered slightly, Ning Fengzhi activated the Martial Soul Avatar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Although it was somewhat strenuous, he still provided support for everyone together.

After everyone received the support, Sword Douluo immediately said: "This time, let us use all our soul power to attack one point!"

The next moment, everyone activated their Martial Soul Avatar.

With the strongest attack, they struck the Defense Array of the Lingxue Sacred Land.

But they seemed to have forgotten that the attacks of so many people are not simply additive; it is very difficult to combine power into a single force.

The sound of booming rang out incessantly, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also exhausted their full strength.

But the Defense Array remained stable; if Sword Douluo were currently at Hunshiliujiji, then there would be some hope.

But as it stands, they are still a bit short of breaking the array.

Several consecutive attacks consumed a large amount of everyone's soul power.

Including Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, both consumed quite a bit; after all, bringing the other Spirit Douluo out from inside the Killing Array just now also consumed Mental Power and soul power.

It was also at this moment that Lingxu, utilizing the convenience of the array, disguised and changed his own voice, saying in a mature and experienced tone: "Get lost. If you do not leave before dawn, then none of you will be able to stay."

"This place... is not something trash like you can touch."

Lingxu did not immediately start a massacre, but rather practiced courtesy before force, continuing to maintain a sense of mystery.

He could let the Azure Dragon out, but this would undoubtedly require opening the array to go out.

Once he decides to kill, it must be a kill in one strike.

If he cannot achieve that, then it would inevitably expose the Azure Dragon and bring trouble to the Lingxue Sacred Land.

After all, Lingxu has already planned to establish the Lingxue Academy.

Ning Fengzhi and the others finally heard the response from inside; although it was an insult, he did not dare to respond in the same manner, and could only pretend to be polite and say: "Senior, we are all from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and I am the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi."

"I have waited until coming here purely out of curiosity; I hope Senior will withdraw the Killing Array outside so that we may leave."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi had completely given up, because this place has an owner.

If things continue like this, not only him, but Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo will also meet with disaster.

Having failed so many times, he had gradually calmed down.

Hearing Ning Fengzhi say this, Lingxu deliberately said: "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, never heard of it."

"The array outside is also something you barged into of your own volition; either get out yourselves, or die—make your own choice," said Lingxu.

"We..."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi felt that he had never been so humiliated in his entire life.

He hadn't even seen the people, yet suffered so many casualties, and furthermore, had no gains whatsoever.

"Fine, we will leave!" Ning Fengzhi said helplessly.

When one is under the eaves, one must bow one's head!

At this time, there were still three hours until dawn; Ning Fengzhi did not have everyone leave immediately, but instead had everyone rest and recover their soul power first.

Two hours later, the ten people began to break through the Killing Array.

This time, Ning Fengzhi had Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo each take one person.

Then, by combining together to break the Killing Array, it would be much easier than rushing in all together as before.

But since three of them were already in a state of heavy injury, in the end, they still could not walk out of the Killing Array, and even implicated Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

In the morning, when Ning Fengzhi led everyone out of the Killing Array, only seven people remained.

Last night, a total of fifteen people went in, and in the end, seven came out.

Five Spirit Douluo and two clan elders at level seventy-nine died.

Even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had some injuries to their bodies after coming out.

If they hadn't brought the others, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

Now, it is feared that it will be very difficult for the two of them to recover without resting for a few years.

Regarding this result, Lingxu was quite satisfied.

With this, Lingxu believes that this Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not dare to covet his Mingling Mountain again.

If it weren't for the fact that he did not want to expose this Lingxue Sacred Land too early this time, the vast majority of these people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have died here.

However, if Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were to die here, then Mingling Mountain would be in great trouble.

After all, the four great Spirit Beasts currently cannot kill them all in a short time.

Lingxu is still young, and he is not in a hurry.

There is no need to live life so tensely here either.

He still wants to live a slow-paced life here with Qian Renxue—cultivating, playing, and managing the Lingxue Academy; that is all.

Moreover, wouldn't it be better to do it himself in the future? One cannot rely too much on these four Spirit Beasts.

When one has power oneself, that is the best thing.

Lingxu is still able to distinguish this point clearly.

After the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect left in a dejected manner, Mingling Mountain became completely quiet.

Over the next ten days or so, Lingxu's soul power miraculously broke through another level, successfully reaching level forty-eight.

Breaking through a level in half a month was mainly due to the ten percent cultivation effect from others.

The issue with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been handled; now it is time to deal with that Salas.

This old fellow has been allowed to live for over ten extra days.

Inside the Lingxue Sacred Land, Lingxu came before Zhang Wu and said, "Let's go. You should know what you were taught to do, right?"

Zhang Wu immediately nodded and said, "Lord Holy Master, I know."

"Hmm?" Lingxu glanced at Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu immediately said, "My Lord, I know, I will definitely keep the secrets of this place."

It must be said that Zhang Wu is quite sensible.

Taking Zhang Wu with him, the two left Mingling Mountain one after the other and entered Heaven Dou City almost simultaneously.

Zhang Wu did not act immediately; he was waiting for Lingxu's instructions.

He had originally thought about escaping, but as soon as he entered Heaven Dou City, a powerful Spirit Master followed behind him, and that powerful aura made him not dare to have any crooked thoughts at all.

In fact, this was all Lingxu's arrangement, and the time to return to Heaven Dou City had long been set.

For the trap targeting Salas, Qian Renxue also found Ci Xue Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo to help.

After all, they had cultivated the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, so it would seem unreasonable not to help with a small favor.

Although Qian Daoliu said they could not help them, sometimes things could be handled flexibly.

Lingxu did not go straight home, but instead used Disguise to quietly arrive at the small courtyard they had bought earlier.

The time had been set, so at this moment, the family would all gather here to discuss.

Just as he walked in, that beautiful figure quickly threw herself at him.

"Brother Lingxu, are you alright? This plan took too long, why did it need half a month?" Qian Renxue asked in confusion.

Before Lingxu could speak, Ling Bufan took the initiative to say, "Xue'er, he was waiting for me."

At this moment, Ling Bufan had absorbed the six-piece perfect fifty-thousand-year Spirit Bone Suit, his physique was stronger than before, and his soul power had also increased from level eighty-four to level eighty-five.

And seeing Lingxu return safely, Luo Xingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Lingxu said, "Dad, Mom, Xue'er, everyone is ready, right? We must seize the evidence of Salas today."

Wishing all readers a Happy New Year!
