Zhuge Lan pondered for a moment.
He opened the system store and started searching.
After a while, his eyes lit up when he saw the items on display.
Dugu Bo, who was observing Zhuge Lan's expression, asked, "Kid, got a good idea?"
Zhuge Lan smiled and nodded, then took out a piece of paper-cut.
Dugu Bo's face showed confusion.
"I've never seen anything like this. What is it?"
Zhuge Lan explained, "It's a paper-cut, but it has a magical effect."
Dugu Bo's face showed interest.
"What effect? Tell me."
Zhuge Lan said, "As long as you place it on anything, even a sheer cliff, a door can appear."
Dugu Bo's face showed doubt.
"I don't believe it, unless you try it."
Zhuge Lan nodded, took out scissors, cut a door shape from the paper-cut, and then stuck it onto the Mountain Protecting Array. Soon, a door appeared on the Mountain Protecting Array.
Dugu Bo looked at the door above in astonishment.
"A door really appeared! This paper-cut is truly amazing, Zhuge Lan, you're something else."
Zhuge Lan smiled.
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior."
Afterward, Zhuge Lan added, "Senior, let's go in quickly! It'll be bad if we're discovered soon."
Dugu Bo nodded.
"You're right, let's go in quickly!"
The two passed through the portal. As they were leaving, Dugu Bo called out to Zhuge Lan, pointing at the open door.
"Kid, we're just leaving like this, and the door is still open. What if people from Spirit Hall come in?"
Zhuge Lan paused, then quickly apologized, "Sorry, I forgot about that."
Dugu Bo shook his head.
"Young man, you need to be more serious. Hurry and take the paper-cut away."
Zhuge Lan nodded.
"Alright."
Zhuge Lan stepped forward and removed the paper-cut. The door on the Mountain Protecting Array disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Dugu Bo stepped forward and touched it, saying in surprise, "It really is quite useful, this paper-cut."
Zhuge Lan smiled.
"Of course. Senior, we should hurry and find School Master Ning!"
Dugu Bo nodded.
"You're right."
The two hadn't walked far before they were discovered by several Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Soon, a large number of Soul Masters appeared, surrounding the two. The leading Soul Master looked at them and said coldly, "Who are you two, sneaking around?"
Zhuge Lan smiled and introduced, "I am Zhuge Lan, and this is Poison Douluo."
Dugu Bo nodded.
"I am Dugu Bo."
The leading Soul Master snorted coldly.
"The Spirit Hall Soul Master who infiltrated earlier also claimed to be Zhuge Lan. How do you prove you are Zhuge Lan?"
Zhuge Lan paused, "I am Zhuge Lan! How do I prove it?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly. "Don't be unreasonable. The situation is critical now. We need to see your School Master Ning."
The leading Soul Master said to the surrounding Soul Masters, "They can't prove it. Take them down."
Immediately, the surrounding Soul Masters all revealed their Spirits, then unleashed powerful spirit power.
Zhuge Lan sighed helplessly, then looked at Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, it's time for you to act."
Dugu Bo nodded. A terrifying oppressive force from a Title Douluo instantly swept over them. Then, a gigantic poisonous dragon appeared behind Dugu Bo, roaring at the group of Soul Masters in a terrifying form.
Soul Masters below the Spirit Douluo level had their Spirits instantly scattered. Most Soul Masters began to faint under the immense pressure.
The leading Soul Master's eyes lit up, and he quickly waved his hand, saying, "Stop, stop! This is Poison Douluo, he's a friend."
The Soul Masters immediately retracted the Spirits they had released.
Zhuge Lan looked at Dugu Bo.
"Senior, that's enough."
Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
"I originally intended to teach these disobedient Soul Masters a lesson, but since you've spoken, then that's enough."
With that, Dugu Bo retracted his Spirit and the immense oppressive force.
The Soul Masters all breathed a sigh of relief. The leading Soul Master smiled and said, "Lord Zhuge Lan, Senior Dugu, we have a Mountain Protecting Array here. How did you get in? The Mountain Protecting Array didn't give any warning?"
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo exchanged glances. Dugu Bo said, "We have our own means of entry. Don't ask about that."
Zhuge Lan paused, then nodded.
"Brother, just take us to see School Master Ning."
The leading Soul Master instructed one of the Soul Masters, "Go report to School Master Ning that Lord Zhuge Lan and Senior Dugu have arrived."
That Soul Master nodded.
"Alright, I'll go now."
Afterward, the leading Soul Master looked at Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo.
"I've arranged for someone to call School Master Ning. Please follow me, I'll arrange accommodation for you two sirs."
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo exchanged glances, then nodded.
Zhuge Lan smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
The leading Soul Master led the two up the mountain. Along the way, it was a busy scene, somewhat inconsistent with the tension of a wartime state.
Dugu Bo frowned slightly, saying in confusion, "Young man, why aren't you Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect preparing for offense or counterattack inside?"
Zhuge Lan nodded.
"I also feel that way. I just saw people dancing, chatting and laughing, as if you're not very concerned."
The leading Soul Master laughed heartily.
"You two sirs might not be aware, but our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is, after all, one of the Upper Three Sects. Our foundation is there; no one dares to touch us. Even the strongest Spirit Hall has only surrounded us and hasn't launched many decent attacks."
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo exchanged glances.
Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "This might be a conspiracy. Since Spirit Hall has used so much power to counter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they wouldn't just surround it. Perhaps they are already exerting force in other places."
Zhuge Lan nodded and said, "Senior Zhuge is right. This operation shouldn't just involve Chrysanthemum Douluo. After all, Chrysanthemum Douluo is Qian Renxue's subordinate. Qian Renxue should have also acted, but we're not sure where she is currently."
The leading Soul Master waved his hand.
"You two sirs, you're exaggerating. Many departments of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also have close dealings with Spirit Hall, so we naturally know Spirit Hall's attitude. This suppression is clearly meant as a deterrent. As for a real fight, Spirit Hall might not be able to afford the price."
Dugu Bo sighed.
"You can't think that way! Spirit Hall has already blocked all your mountain ascent and descent routes. This is very dangerous. It means that once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect collapses internally, not a single one of you will be able to escape."
The leading Soul Master's expression became somewhat grim, and he said, "You two sirs, the matters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be decided by us, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Please proceed to your accommodation to rest."
