Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
It was a scene of bustling activity, with disciples busy with various defensive tasks.
From their eyes, there was no trace of panic.
In the main hall, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi's brows were slightly furrowed, with the heroic Sword Douluo and the stunning Ning Rongrong standing beside him.
Ning Fengzhi sighed, saying helplessly,
"It has come to this after all. Spirit Hall is now directly confronting our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Ning Rongrong's gaze was firm; she had always stood on Zhuge Lan's side. When Zhuge Lan openly broke into Spirit Hall for Bìluò, she had actively supported him.
In her view, a battle with Spirit Hall was inevitable, and under such circumstances, it was best to just fight.
Through her observation, although the Spirit Hall forces at the foot of the mountain were numerous, there weren't as many top-tier powerhouses.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could completely concentrate all its strength to break through one or two strongholds, and then besiege the remaining three.
"Father, we are not afraid of them, let's fight!"
Ning Fengzhi sighed.
"Rongrong, I know you like that boy Zhuge Lan, but Spirit Hall's current actions are not to be underestimated in their scale. Our business among the Three Great Empires has been greatly affected and severely suppressed."
"We cannot just look at the immediate enemy. Spirit Hall has not sent out their main Titled Douluo forces. Even if we win, a greater retaliation will await us."
"This current situation should be a form of pressure on us."
A glint of cold light flashed between Sword Douluo's brows.
"Sect Master, since Spirit Hall has already bullied us to this extent, endless forbearance will do no good. In my opinion, killing one or two of their Titled Douluo would let them know that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not to be trifled with."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head.
"Through some intelligence from among the Empires, I know that Spirit Hall is very displeased with our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and is preparing to mobilize immense power to deal with us. I cannot disregard the commerce within the Three Great Empires."
"The Sect's supplies are enough for the Sect to last for decades. Let's just consider it a period of seclusion for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"You two may leave! I am preparing to write a letter to the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall."
Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong exchanged a look, then walked down helplessly.
On the way, Ning Rongrong sighed and said,
"Uncle Sword Douluo, Father is too hesitant."
Sword Douluo smiled and nodded. He also understood Ning Fengzhi's difficulties. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been passed down for too many generations, and its commercial network spanned across various Empires, with countless industries.
Such industries could not be stopped just like that.
Moreover, in a struggle with Spirit Hall, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School exerted all its strength and could inflict damage on Spirit Hall, the ultimate outcome would certainly be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's loss. Although they were now on the same side as Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan's personal methods were powerful and mysterious, but he was, after all, just one person, with no substantial forces under him.
The Sect Master, after all, had to consider the entire Sect's future and could not act impulsively.
"Rongrong, you must be careful. Perhaps there are spies from Spirit Hall within our Sect."
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then nodded. After all, Spirit Hall's slogan this time was that she had communicated with several Sects, intending to jointly resist Spirit Hall.
"Thank you, Uncle Sword."
...
Inside the Speed Clan.
A young man wearing a hat that obscured his face stopped a disciple and said,
"Brother, has anything big happened in the Sect recently? I just returned from an external mission and am not clear about what has occurred recently."
The Speed Clan disciple excitedly said,
"You wouldn't believe it! After you left, a yellow-haired Titled Douluo came to the Sect. He was so arrogant back then, bullying us terribly. Later, the hero Zhuge Lan arrived and severely bullied that yellow-haired Titled Douluo, which was so satisfying for us."
"Finally, amidst our cheers, Zhuge Lan killed that Titled Douluo! Isn't that amazing!"
The young man's expression suddenly became agitated upon hearing Zhuge Lan.
The disciple thought the young man was also a fan of Zhuge Lan and happily said,
"Right? Aren't you also feeling happy? Come on, brother, let's go for a drink together. My treat."
The young man took a deep breath, then said,
"Where is Zhuge Lan now?"
"He went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, don't you know?"
The young man sighed deeply when he heard 'Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School'. After a while, he bid farewell to the disciple and then went to inquire further.
He asked a few more people, and found that it was the same as what the previous disciple had said: Zhuge Lan had gone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
As for why he was so concerned, it was because he was Tang San.
Previously, Zhuge Lan had ambushed him, forcing him to flee the Speed Clan. Now, he had finally recovered from his injuries, and his spirit power had improved somewhat compared to before.
This time, he would definitely make Zhuge Lan pay.
The fact that Zhuge Lan had gone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School annoyed him somewhat. The anger in his heart compelled him to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to find trouble with Zhuge Lan.
He wanted to trample Zhuge Lan under his feet.
In the distance, a beautiful girl named Ahri was going down the mountain to do something, but she saw a familiar figure. Her heart skipped a beat, and she slowly walked over.
Through the figure, she could almost confirm it was Sha Zhuge, the one in her heart.
"Sha Zhuge, is that you?"
Tang San's body trembled. How was he recognized? This was troublesome. If the news of his return to the Speed Clan reached Zhuge Lan's ears, Zhuge Lan might become vigilant, and his revenge would be very difficult.
When he saw Ahri, he paused. This beautiful girl, who had done missions with him, often cared for him.
But for his own goals, he could not acknowledge Ahri.
So he lowered his voice and said,
"I am not. I don't know Sha Zhuge."
"Look up. Look into my eyes."
Ahri stared directly at Tang San, her expression becoming complex. At this point, she could confirm it was indeed her Sha Zhuge, only it had been several months since they parted.
"Can you stop being Tang San and be my Sha Zhuge, please?"
Tang San dared not look up. To be honest, he felt a little sorry for Ahri in front of him, but he had important things to do and could not stay here for a girl.
He took a deep breath and said directly,
"You've mistaken me for someone else. I have things to do, so I'm leaving now."
Ahri directly blocked Tang San's path, extending her hands and looking at Tang San.
"Sha Zhuge, if you leave like this, I'll tell Brother Zhuge Lan, and he'll deal with you."
"Shut up."
A surge of anger welled up in Tang San's heart. It was all because of Zhuge Lan that his life had become like this. He had originally felt a little fondness for the girl in front of him, but now that she called Zhuge Lan 'Brother', that little bit of fondness vanished completely.
He struck Ahri, sending her flying, then quickly left the area.
