Ning Fengzhi understood the other's intentions when he heard this...
There was always a significant gap between the Martial Soul Hall and the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, making it impossible to be completely honest with each other!
It's also his fault for saying something as naive as asking them to stay...
It's just a pity, if these guest elders could stay at the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect for a few more days, the risk of another attack would be greatly reduced!
"Since that's the case, then..."
Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng interrupted, "Jincroc Elder, it's already late, and it's quite a distance from here to the Pope Hall and the Worship Hall. Besides, we've been entangled with abyssal creatures for so long, I believe the other guest elders must be quite tired. Why not rest here for a few days?"
Upon hearing this, Gold Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly, "Xu Sheng, we've already reached the Title Douluo level, the time of day makes no difference."
"Moreover, Qian Jun and the others were only dealing with some weak, low-level abyssal creatures, without expending much Soul Power. We should depart as soon as possible."
He truly had no desire to stay here any longer!
It was already generous of his older brother to come aid the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Is it possible that they still want to stay as laborers to guard the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect for a few more days??
Xu Sheng was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting the other's attitude to leave to be so firm...
Just as he was about to finish speaking, Qianjun Douluo and others, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Well, Second Brother, this time in killing those abyssal creatures, I nearly exhausted my Soul Power, we do need a rest."
"Yes, yes, Xu Sheng makes a good point, since it's so late now, rushing back might lead to unexpected incidents. Why not rest for a few days before leaving!!"
"I agree, and besides, I've long wanted to spar with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo!"
They had rushed here with great effort, and just after finishing the battle, they were to return immediately, which was a bit too hasty!
Moreover, it was a rare opportunity to be treated as guests by the people of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, so there was no reason not to enjoy it!
Certainly, the biggest reason was because Saint Heir Xu Sheng wanted to stay, and they had originally come to protect him, naturally having no reason to leave alone!
Upon hearing these words, Gold Crocodile Douluo's face darkened instantly, glaring fiercely at Qianjun Douluo and the others....
"You guys..."
He had just politely declined Ning Fengzhi's request, and these guys suddenly changed their tune!
Weren't they making things difficult for him?
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, seemingly realizing something, and quickly covered their mouths to cough...
Ning Fengzhi, who was also bewildered, quickly came back to his senses and spoke again, "Jincroc Elder, since Xu Sheng and the others have said so, let's stay and rest for a few days, allowing the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to show some hospitality!"
After speaking, he cast a grateful look at Xu Sheng...
Clearly, the other party had sensed his intention to retain them...
Gold Crocodile Douluo saw that everyone was watching him closely, feeling a bit flustered...
After forcing himself to calm down, he said expressionlessly, "Since Sect Master Ning has invited us repeatedly, we shall impose!"
Oh well, since Xu Sheng and Qian Jun both want to stay, let's rest for a few days...
After all, with the Grand Elder at the Worship Hall, nothing unexpected could happen!
Ning Fengzhi's face immediately lit up with joy, "Very well, then everyone from Martial Soul Hall, please....."
After saying this, he led Xu Sheng and others into the sect...
At this moment, Chen Xin suddenly said, "Although these guest elders did aid the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect this time, inviting them to rest in the sect for a few days should be okay, right??"
Gu Rong paused, "This, I'm not sure, but with Xu Sheng here, it should... be fine, right?"
Then, shaking his head, he continued, "Forget it, if it doesn't make sense, then don't think about it. After all, if it weren't for the help of these guest elders in this battle, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect might have already perished!"
Chen Xin thought about it carefully and concluded that this made sense...
If these guest elders had any ill intent, they wouldn't even have to act personally!!
"You're right, perhaps we've been a bit too cautious."
...
In the Worship Hall!
Qian Dao Liu, who hadn't received any news for a long time, became increasingly serious in expression...
"Strange, they've been gone for so long, and still no news from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. Could it be that something happened to Gold Crocodile and the others on the way?"
Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head, "No, that's unlikely. Gold Crocodile and the others are strong Super Douluo level powerhouses, even if they encounter unexpected incidents, they would retreat unscathed!"
This was something he had great confidence in!
Just then, a soldier from the Worship Hall called from outside, "Report... Report, Grand Elder, I have urgent matters to report!"
Qian Dao Liu glanced over, "Enter!"
The soldier then stepped inside, bowed, and said, "Subordinate greets the Grand Elder!"
Only after that did Qian Dao Liu continue, "Speak, what do you have to report??"
Without Gold Crocodile by his side, things were indeed a bit troublesome!
The soldier took a deep breath and replied, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, just now, we received a message from Jincroc Elder."
Qian Dao Liu's expression softened a bit, "Oh?? What did it say?"
Sending back information likely meant nothing troubling had occurred!!
Without daring to hide anything, the soldier quickly relayed what had happened, "Grand Elder, it's like this, after Jincroc Elder and the others arrived at the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, they found the abyssal creature army still attacking..."
After listening to all of it, Qian Dao Liu's expression became somewhat uncertain...
Then he coldly said, "Who would've thought, that this time the Abyss Emperor's attack on the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect would involve sending so many powerful beings!!"
"Had it not been for Gold Crocodile and the others arriving in time, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect might have long been wiped out!"
This also demonstrated that the information Xu Sheng provided earlier was accurate; the power of the abyssal creatures had developed to a terrifying extent!!
Otherwise, they wouldn't choose to withdraw after losing so many powerful beings...
Trying to find some calm, Qian Dao Liu asked again, "Since the abyssal creature army has stopped their assault, why haven't Gold Crocodile and the others returned?"
Could it be that they fear an attack on their way back?
Don't be ridiculous, with their collective Super Douluo strength, no one could stop them from returning!!
The soldier swallowed hard, also intimidated by the other's imposing aura, "Well... Grand Elder, the reason Jincroc Elder and the others have not returned seems to be because Sect Master Ning Fengzhi himself invited them to stay for a few days!"
Qian Dao Liu's expression became somewhat strange, "What? That Ning Fengzhi personally invited Gold Crocodile and the others to stay in the sect to rest, are you sure this isn't a joke?"
Though the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and Martial Soul Hall have collaborated, their relationship is not that close yet!
The soldier trembled in fright, immediately nodding, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, this matter is absolutely true, your subordinate dares not conceal even a bit!!"
