Chapter 176: The Soul Hunting Operation Begins
After a day of fun, Zhao Wujie was the first to leave. Yang Xiong had initially thought that Zhao Wujie would take Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Qin Shuang back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
However, Ning Rongrong clearly did not want to leave this five-year reunion. In the end, she directly dragged Zhu Zhuqing along, unwilling to leave. Several of the younger girls even planned to talk all night long.
The first to leave was Tang San. After hearing what everyone said, Tang San missed Xiao Wu even more and immediately planned to go to the Star Dou Forest, while also obtaining a soul ring.
Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, the three close friends, mixed together and seemed to also plan on talking all night.
Looking at the situation, Yang Xiong felt a little relieved.
Shrek Academy was located in Tiandou City, with two Title Douluo, Flender and Liu Erlong. They could even form an iron triangle, ensuring the safety of the group.
Even Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were staying at Shrek Academy, so these two should also be safe.
At this point, Yang Xiong estimated that in a couple of days, the so-called Wuhun Hall Soul Hunting operation would begin. Unfortunately, neither the Tiandou Royal Family nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had any news. Even spies from various major forces in Wuhun Hall had not received any information.
Yang Xiong also didn't know how to communicate with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan. Should he tell them that he could predict the future? Should he tell them that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was about to be wiped out?
Not only would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not believe him, but even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't. Someone would definitely doubt his sources.
In the end, Yang Xiong left Tiandou City alone and returned to the Yunwu Mountain.
Compared to the imminent crisis facing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this place was where everything could truly be resolved. With Lin Gong and Zhao Wujie added to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, at least they wouldn't suffer a crushing defeat and could ensure the safety of his parents.
What surprised Yang Xiong even more was that Dugu Bo was actually refining medicine with Yang Wudi. It seemed that the two were planning to enter seclusion to concoct some kind of poison.
At this moment, Yang Xiong had no mood to cultivate. He was watching the situation inside the main sect from the highest point of Yunwu Mountain.
Yang Xiong was more restless than ever before, as if waiting for disaster to strike.
Time passed quickly, and night fell. The entire night sky seemed even more eerie than usual.
Just as Yang Xiong felt unbearable pain, a figure swiftly appeared before him. It was Bai He.
Bai He seemed very rushed and had a much more serious expression than usual: "Sect Leader, according to the scouts from the Min Clan, a large number of Soul Masters in black clothes have appeared outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The exact number is unclear, but there are many experts among them. I fear they will pose a threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yang Xiong jumped to his feet, as if he had been relieved: "Elder Bai He, how many people are there on the other side? From which direction are they approaching the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Bai He quickly responded: "Sect Leader, the number of these Soul Masters is unclear, but it is at least several thousand. Since their formation is so long and their actions are extremely cautious, our people dare not approach too closely and cannot determine the exact strength of the enemy. However, it is confirmed that several Title Douluo are leading them."
"They are quickly advancing from the south direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. All of them are wearing black clothes and carrying weapons. Judging by the situation, they should be able to quickly surround the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yang Xiong immediately said: "Elder Bai He, have you informed Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Bai He nodded: "The scouts have split into two groups and have already notified the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They should have reported to Sect Master Ning. However, judging by their speed, they will likely reach the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in about ten minutes, and Sect Master Ning should receive the message at the same time as us."
Recently, Yang Xiong and Ning Fengzhi had been working on improving the defense information network of the Min Clan. If the Min Clan received any major news, it could be directly reported to Ning Fengzhi to ensure quick communication.
Yang Xiong did not hesitate: "Send a signal to gather all the Elders immediately. This might be the moment that decides the fate of our sect."
"Also, please ask Elder Bai He to summon Dugu Bo. Tell him that I have something important to discuss."
Bai He immediately fired a signal arrow, and a huge firework lit up the entire Yunwu Mountain.
Within less than a minute, the entire Yunwu Mountain became active. All the Elders, except Lin Gong, had arrived before Yang Xiong, their eyes filled with confusion. Even Dugu Bo had arrived.
Yang Xiong quickly spoke: "Elders, Elder Bai He has received news that a large group is heading toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This should be a Soul Master army, with a number exceeding several thousand. More reinforcements are on the way, and several Title Douluo are leading them."
The group was shocked upon hearing this. They hadn't expected such a large force to be preparing to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the top three sects, and no other force dared provoke it, let alone send a Soul Master army to attack.
Yang Wudi's expression became serious: "Sect Leader, has the Wuhun Hall made a move?"
Yang Xiong nodded: "No other force has such a large Soul Master army, and none have so many Title Douluo."
"Since we've allied with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we cannot retreat at such a critical moment. Elders, do any of you have objections?"
Niu Gao spoke first: "Of course, there are no objections. Since we've allied with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we've gained many benefits over the years. Now is the time for us to contribute."
"Although the Wuhun Hall has many people, we are not weak. No matter what, we must give them a heavy blow."
Long Gong Meng Shu also nodded: "The Wuhun Hall has always acted domineeringly. If we don't ally with them, we will be suppressed. Rather than wait to die, it's better to resist with all our strength. Maybe we still have a chance."
Yang Wudi became even more courageous: "What should we do now? Should we rush to aid the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Yang Xiong glanced around at the Elders: "Since the founding of our sect, we've kept our existence a secret. When the Wuhun Hall launched an attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it's almost time for us to reveal ourselves."
"I know that everyone here has a grudge against the Wuhun Hall, a deep one. So, this time, we will strike hard and let them know that the Soul Master world is not dominated by the Wuhun Hall alone. Let them know that attacking others will have consequences."
The four Elders were stunned by Yang Xiong's words. Although the sect had been established for five years, it had always operated in secrecy. They hadn't expected that Yang Xiong had been waiting for this day. If they could really repel the Wuhun Hall's attack, their sect would gain immense fame upon its emergence.
Long Gong and the others became serious: "Please give the orders, Sect Leader. We, the Body Sect, will certainly shake the world."
Yang Xiong nodded: "The situation is urgent. I, Yang Wudi, Long Gong, and She Po will be the first to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We may be able to support them immediately."
"Elder Bai He will stay at Yunwu Mountain to gather all incoming information and ensure the safety of the sect, especially the safety of the Body Academy."
"Niu Gao, summon all the members of the Body Sect immediately. Once the personnel are gathered, send 80% of the Soul Masters to support the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You must ensure that everyone arrives within half an hour. The remaining 20% will reinforce the defense of Yunwu Mountain."
"Yang Wudi, Long Gong, She Po, and I will lead the way, ensuring that the subsequent personnel can move without obstruction."
Yunwu Mountain was 30 kilometers away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even Title Douluo could only fly there in about ten minutes. Ordinary Soul Masters would take even longer. It would likely take about 20 minutes at full speed. This meant Niu Gao only had ten minutes to gather everyone.
Of course, this 20-minute estimate was not fixed. If all the Soul Masters were from the Min Clan, they might be faster than Title Douluo, but with a large Soul Master army, it was hard to control the pace. The various types of Soul Masters would make it difficult to manage, so 20 minutes was considered an ideal time, especially since the Yu Clan's speed was slower.
At this moment, Niu Gao immediately nodded, then transformed into a giant armored rhino. A loud roar spread across the entire Yunwu Mountain, signaling the highest level of mobilization. Everyone was required to stop what they were doing and gather.
Dugu Bo was confused: "Old goat, what is this Body Sect you're talking about?"
Yang Wudi's expression became serious: "Old poison, it's time to tell you. Everyone here at Yunwu Mountain, including the Yu Clan, the Po Clan, the Min Clan, and the Great Dragon Snake family, we've formed a new sect. We no longer belong to any other force. We are the Body Sect."
Dugu Bo looked confused and pointed at Yang Xiong: "What about this kid? Why do you all call him Sect Leader?"
Yang Wudi proudly said: "It's simple. Yang Xiong is the Sect Leader of our Body Sect, and the founder as well."
Dugu Bo was about to ask more questions, but Yang Xiong quickly intervened: "Dugu Bo, now is not the time for this. Wuhun Hall is attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and we must go support them. Please come with me to help."
Dugu Bo quickly refused: "I've always been a carefree person and don't want to get involved with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's troubles. What if Wuhun Hall targets me?"
"Besides, with Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Lin Gong there, plus Ning Fengzhi's help, I doubt those thousands of thieves are enough for Chen Xin to kill."
Yang Xiong immediately replied: "Dugu Bo, Wuhun Hall is coming in full force. They've certainly targeted my two teachers. Don't you claim to be invincible in group battles? This is the time to show your strength."
Dugu Bo looked at Yang Xiong with disdain: "You little monster, don't try to drag me into this. I've lived much longer than you and experienced more. The Wuhun Hall's foundation is deep, and it's not easy to provoke them."
Yang Xiong was furious: "Old poison, have you forgotten? You owe me a favor. In this critical situation, you're going to be a coward?"
"Besides, once Wuhun Hall attacks the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, do you think they won't target the Tiandou Empire? You're a guest elder of the Tiandou Empire."
Dugu Bo was also angry: "You little thief, when did I owe you a favor?"
Yang Xiong laughed: "I never thought the old poison would be so forgetful. Do you remember the first time we met? I specifically asked Yang Wudi to help you remove the poison. You even said you owed me a favor."
Dugu Bo was speechless. He hadn't expected that a casual remark back then would lead to such a big trouble now.
Yang Wudi quickly spoke up: "Old poison, this is serious. The situation is urgent. Let's go support the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If danger strikes, I'll fight to the death, and you can escape on your own."
Dugu Bo became angry: "Old goat, what do you think I am? You underestimate me too much. It's just Wuhun Hall. I've offended them more times than you."
Seeing that Dugu Bo agreed, the five of them prepared to rush to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
However, since only Title Douluo could fly, Dugu Bo reluctantly used his soul power to pull Yang Xiong and Yang Wudi, while Long Gong used his soul power to pull She Po and Tianxiang. The five of them became a shadow flying toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Meanwhile, everyone at Yunwu Mountain quickly mobilized. The Min Clan swiftly headed toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect within several hundred miles, clearly working to transmit information quickly.
Niu Gao quickly gathered everyone, and they all seemed extremely excited, as this would be the first real battle for the Body Sect.
