Chapter 128: Loto City, Latest News.
Next, the Shrek group set off for Loto City, located within the Tiandou Empire and one of the cities closest to the space.
Besides Zhao Wuji, Flanders, Liu Erlong, and Master, the Shrek group also included the often elusive Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo himself explained that as Shrek Academy's Honorary Advisor, he couldn't be absent from such an important matter.
Naturally, the Shrek group agreed.
...
After a long journey, spanning two weeks and traveling non-stop, the Shrek group finally arrived at Loto City, on the border of the Tiandou Empire, this afternoon.
However, upon reaching the city gates, they were stopped by the Royal Guards.
Only after Dugu Bo and Master presented their Heaven Dou Royal Tokens and Spirit Hall Elder Tokens, respectively, were they allowed to pass.
With the space about to officially open, the Shrek group made no move and headed straight for their resting place.
Thanks to Dugu Bo's help, the Shrek Academy group was accommodated in a large hotel by the Heaven Dou Empire. Also in this hotel were members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
So, as the Shrek group entered the hotel, a familiar voice rang out.
"Rongrong."
Looking over, they saw Ning Fengzhi, dressed in casual attire, standing not far away, waving gently.
However, this time, standing beside him wasn't the eerie Gu Rong, but a silver-haired elder with a simple appearance but an incomparably sharp aura.
The moment Xuan Mo laid eyes on this elder, he knew he was none other than Chen Xin, one of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's two Titled Douluos, a master of the sword art at the ninety-sixth level.
Although Chen Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, Xuan Mo, with Ning Rongrong's arm around his, could sense the Sword Douluo's gaze fixed on him with a murderous intent.
The next moment, "Dad, Grandpa Jian."
Ning Rongrong let go of Xuan Mo's hand and ran over excitedly, throwing herself into her father's arms. At the moment Ning Rongrong rushed over, Chen Xin also looked at Ning Rongrong, and his face softened.
This made Xuan Mo feel relieved without the sharp edge behind him.
However, when he saw Ning Rongrong quietly turned around and winked at him. Xuan Mo realized that Ning Rongrong had noticed the situation just now and helped him out.
Ning Fengzhi took Ning Rongrong's hand and walked over with Chen Xin beside him, "Hello, everyone from Shrek Academy."
Seeing this, everyone from Shrek hurriedly saluted Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Chen Xin. Even Dugu Bo, who had a proud face, nodded slightly to the two of them.
However, he was clearly not used to the atmosphere, so he said to Tang San beside him, "Little monster, I'll just take a look at my granddaughter. Sect Leader Ning, Sword Douluo, please excuse me."
He then clasped his fists to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, then, with Flender's farewell and Ning Fengzhi's "Poison Douluo, please do as you please," he headed out of the hotel.
With Dugu Bo gone, Ning Fengzhi chatted with the Shrek group, and later, with Ning Rongrong's introduction, introduced the other Five Monsters.
A full incense stick passed, and after the pleasantries had mostly run their course, Ning Fengzhi said, "I'm truly delighted to meet you young talents today. But the main reason I'm here today is to discuss something with you."
"Hmm? Okay, Sect Leader Ning, please follow us."
Flender was taken aback at first when he heard Ning Fengzhi wanted to see him and the others, but seeing the serious expression on Ning Fengzhi's face, he knew the matter was serious.
"By the way, let the children hear this, too. After all, this directly concerns them."
Xuan Mo, standing nearby, immediately understood what Ning Fengzhi was talking about. It must be related to that dimension. Flanders and the Master also immediately understood Ning Fengzhi's meaning.
Entering a large room, the Master eagerly asked.
"Sect Master Ning, could there be some kind of incident in that dimension?"
Everyone in Shrek Academy pricked up their ears at the Master's words. Even the usually boisterous Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun sat quietly by the sidelines.
"Yes, there was indeed a minor incident in the dimension. But it's not a big deal. All the factions have dispatched several Titled Douluo, including Uncle Gu, so everything has been handled. I just came to update you on the latest."
Ning Fengzhi's words elicited slight nods from the crowd. However, Xuan Mo was startled by the news that Gu Rong had also been dispatched.
Because the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's two Titled Douluos each have their own responsibilities, if one is away, the other is responsible for guarding the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to prevent the sect from being depleted of strength.
But this time, not only did Chen Xin follow Ning Fengzhi closely, but even Gu Rong came to this place, which broke the rules.
Ning Rongrong obviously noticed this as well. "Dad, Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Jian are out, so the sect..."
Before Ning Fengzhi could say anything, Chen Xin said, "Don't worry, my little princess, the sect still has five Soul Douluos, plus two direct descendants at the Soul Emperor level to guard it."
"That's right," Ning Fengzhi agreed. "Furthermore, in this incident, the top forces of this Douluo Continent have gathered here. No one dares to commit such a heinous crime and attack the sect, otherwise they will incur public outrage."
"And Uncle Gu is the unrivaled master of space, so this matter really requires Uncle Gu to come in person."
After hearing what Ning Fengzhi said, Ning Rongrong felt relieved, and even Xuan Mo's doubts were resolved.
"Okay, time is running out, so I won't say much. The news I'm going to tell you next is the latest news, which was piled up with human lives by various major forces. You must keep it in mind."
"First, this space is very unstable. According to Uncle Gu and other Titled Douluo with spatial abilities, this space crack can only last for another month, so after you go in, you must manage your time well, otherwise if the space crack disappears, you will probably be trapped inside."
"Second, there is a soul beast forest in this space. The soul beasts in it have been explored and swept by various major forces, and the age of the soul beasts there will not exceed ten thousand years. There are also some soul beasts in it that have become extinct on the Douluo Continent."
"Third, there is a mysterious power in this space. Once you enter, you can only be divided into groups of two, and then be shuffled and distributed anywhere in the space."
"Fourth, there are still some places in the space that we have no time to explore. Whether you can gain anything depends on your ability. And most importantly, the Soul Master Competition will begin a month after we come out, and you must prepare early."
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the Shrek people fell silent at first, and then started to have a heated conversation about entering the space crack tomorrow.
"Master Ning, thank you for letting me know."
After escorting Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin out of the room, Flanders clasped his fists again in thanks.
"No need to thank me. After all, my daughter has been very grateful for your care over the past year. I have things to attend to now. Dean Flanders, we will take our leave now."
Ning Fengzhi said, then turned and said, "Uncle Jian, let's go."
