Near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a spatial energy flickered.
Two figures slowly appeared; it was Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo, who had set out from Sunset Forest for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
They used the Time-Space Brush again this time.
Dugu Bo said enviously,
"Kid, your Time-Space Brush is too convenient to use; you can go wherever you want!"
"Of course, you wouldn't expect anything less from whose item this is."
Zhuge Lan said proudly.
"Then next time, can I use it?"
"No problem, with our relationship, is there any need to be so concerned?"
Zhuge Lan did not refuse.
Dugu Bo nodded happily, then pointed to the distant mountain peak and said,
"This is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I came here once a long time ago, and now it still looks as magnificent as before. I just don't know if the people I knew back then are still around?"
Zhuge Lan's face showed curiosity.
"What kind of people are there?"
"The astute Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, the arrogant Titled Douluo Sword Douluo, and the lovely and obedient Ning Rongrong."
Zhuge Lan pressed on,
"Can you elaborate?"
"Of course."
Dugu Bo nodded and said.
Then he began to recount.
"Ning Fengzhi is a business genius. Under his management, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's businesses are spread throughout the Three Great Empires, with countless riches. Coupled with Ning Fengzhi's smooth handling of affairs and willingness to help others, the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has very good relationships with other Sects, major powers, and the Three Great Empires."
"Sword Douluo is a Titled Douluo, or rather, a very powerful Titled Douluo. His Spirit is a sword, and its power is extremely strong. I admit that I couldn't defeat him before, but my strength has greatly improved now. I've fused with a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone and consumed the Primordial Chaos Poison crystal, reaching a very strong level of strength. I should be able to spar with him."
"Ning Rongrong is Ning Fengzhi's daughter. Her Spirit, like Ning Fengzhi's, is very powerful. When I saw Ning Rongrong back then, she was still quite young, very obedient and cute. Now, she should be a graceful and beautiful young woman."
Zhuge Lan listened, then nodded and said,
"Then Ning Fengzhi is very suitable to be a Sect Master."
"Isn't that right? Because of Ning Fengzhi, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has its current immense wealth and its unshakeable position among the Upper Three Sects."
Dugu Bo explained.
Zhuge Lan said,
"What about Sword Douluo? What kind of position does he hold in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"His position is very high. Ever since I entered the Soul Master circle, I learned that Sword Douluo follows Ning Fengzhi and ensures his safety. After all, a Sect Master who can make the Sect three to five times richer is extremely rare."
Dugu Bo said.
Zhuge Lan nodded in agreement.
"That's true. Having martial power is important, but it's these kinds of people who can lead a Sect to glory."
"Indeed!"
Dugu Bo said.
At this moment, Dugu Bo asked,
"Zhuge Lan, how is your relationship with Ning Rongrong?"
"Very good."
Zhuge Lan said with a smile.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Dugu Bo's mouth.
"Perhaps it's more than that! I heard that last time when you went to Spirit Hall to rescue Su Biluo, Ning Rongrong ran herself ragged, going to several major Sects to ask for help and support you. I heard she suffered quite a bit for it."
A look of gratitude appeared in Zhuge Lan's eyes.
"When I see Ning Rongrong this time, I must thank her profusely."
"It's only right. Ning Rongrong did rally many forces to your aid, which is also why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is besieged."
Dugu Bo explained.
Zhuge Lan's eyes became firm.
"Spirit Hall, I will definitely make you pay the price. Anyone who dares to bully my friends won't have a good outcome."
"Indeed! I heard that the Spirit Hall personnel besieging them this time demanded that Ning Rongrong be handed over."
Dugu Bo said.
A surge of anger emanated from Zhuge Lan, and then he coldly snorted,
"Spirit Hall, how dare they!"
The distance from this place to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was less than ten li, and they arrived quickly.
But seeing the uphill path tightly surrounded by Spirit Hall Soul Masters, both their expressions turned grim.
Zhuge Lan said,
"Senior Dugu, this situation doesn't look good."
"Yes, I also didn't expect Spirit Hall to dispatch so many people this time and completely surround the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. This would be difficult to achieve without thousands of Soul Masters."
Dugu Bo replied.
Zhuge Lan nodded.
"What should we do now? The Time-Space Brush doesn't have a set location within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so we can't directly teleport in. Should we try to sneak in?"
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment.
"Currently, we don't know the situation inside. Rushing in might lead us into a trap, and perhaps this trap is specifically aimed at you, as Spirit Hall's ultimate target is you."
Zhuge Lan's face showed shock.
"This damned Spirit Hall, to be so insidious and do such a thing, I will definitely not spare them."
Dugu Bo waved his hand.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. I'll go capture a Spirit Hall Soul Master to interrogate, shall I?"
"Alright, I'll trouble you, Senior."
Zhuge Lan nodded.
Dugu Bo quickly left, and after a while, he returned with a Soul Master dressed in a Spirit Hall uniform. As soon as the Soul Master was captured, he began to shout loudly,
"Who are you? Do you know my identity? I am from Spirit Hall, the greatest Spirit Hall above the Three Great Empires! How dare you capture me? Aren't you afraid of being hunted by Spirit Hall?"
"Spirit Hall, hmph, look who I am?"
Zhuge Lan walked over and looked at the Soul Master.
When the Soul Master saw Zhuge Lan, his face showed shock, then terror.
"You are Zhuge Lan! Oh my! Why are you here, you demon?"
"Demon, I like that title."
Zhuge Lan said with a sneer, then looked at the Soul Master.
"Speak, why have you surrounded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"No… I am a Soul Master of Spirit Hall. I have sworn an oath never to reveal Spirit Hall's secrets."
The Soul Master gritted his teeth.
Dugu Bo, who was beside them, walked over and asked,
"Zhuge, kid, do you need my help?"
"Senior Dugu is a master of poison; he should be more skilled in this area. I'll trouble you."
Zhuge Lan nodded and said.
Dugu Bo walked towards the Soul Master, then snapped his fingers. Several red poisonous snakes emerged from the nearby grass, crawled onto the Soul Master's body, and extended their forked tongues, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his spirit power at any moment.
A large amount of sweat appeared on the Soul Master's face, his back was soaked, and his body was trembling. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said,
"Please let me go! I'm just an unknown minor Soul Master of Spirit Hall; I don't know anything. Besides, I have an elderly mother who is sick and hospitalized at home, and an unborn child. For their sakes, please spare me!"
