The next morning, for countless commoners, last night was peaceful. But for the great powers, what happened was terrifying.
If the Douluo Continent had air traffic control, you'd have seen the sky filled with flying beast-soul masters delivering ssages.
Within half a day, news that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been attacked by an unknown force spread to all the kingdoms and duchies.
Everyone guessed who the attackers were, but such things couldn't be said openly. Even more shocking: the unknown force was defeated—both sects remained unhard.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had rely repelled the enemy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have inflicted heavy losses.
There was even more shocking news: the hidden location of the top sect, Clear Sky Sect, had been discovered and attacked. But the attacker wasn't the unknown force—it was the Heaven Dou Empire.
Nearly a hundred thousand troops suddenly assaulted Clear Sky Sect. Both sides suffered, but Clear Sky Sect prevailed, revealing as many as six Title Douluos and defeating the Heaven Dou army, which was nearly wiped out.
Tian Lin, who had ditated all night, was shocked by the news. What was Qian Renxue up to? Why send a massive army against Clear Sky Sect?
He was sure it was her—only Oslo, himself, and Qian Renxue, who'd sent soone to tail Oslo, knew the sect's location.
Even Xue Beng, who had actual power, could only mobilize about ten thousand troops. Only Xue Qinghe, who held the emperor's seal, could suddenly mobilize more than a hundred thousand.
Her attacking Clear Sky Sect wasn't surprising—her father had died at Tang Hao's hands, and she didn't know the truth. But even so, the timing was wrong. Qian Renxue was patient, not rash.
Such a big move—though the emperor was incapacitated, there were still many ministers and Marshal Ge Long. Wouldn't they hold her accountable afterward?
Even the three education commissioners, her long-ti supporters, wouldn't approve. The Heaven Dou Empire and Clear Sky Sect had no grudge. Even discovering their location, why attack them? Wasn't this destroying years of work?
"Wait, Uncle Ning said yesterday that after this, Clear Sky Sect would erge, and Xue Qinghe would fall. Was this his doing?" Tian Lin recalled Ning Fengzhi's words. He seed to have anticipated it all.
He went straight to the main hall. Although the rest of the sect was in ruins, the hall was intact. Ning Fengzhi was there, chatting happily with soone.
It was Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, who ca to thank Ning Fengzhi. If not for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's warning and help, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would have been destroyed.
The force that attacked them was not as strong as that which attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but there were still four Title Douluos—besides the elders Mad Lion, Ghost Leopard, and Sea Turtle, there was Tuoba Xi, the newly promoted Saint Dragon Sect leader.
Even Yu Yuanzhen couldn't fight four Title Douluos at once. Ning Fengzhi only sent twenty-three people, yet they turned the tide.
Those twenty-three included three Soul Douluos, fifteen Soul Sages, four Soul Emperor-level Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Soul Masters, and the Shi brothers' grandfather, Shi Lei, whom Tian Lin had asked for help.
That's right: it was the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. The twenty-one were divided into three groups, pushing three Soul Douluos to Title Douluo-level power.
Shi Lei held off Tuoba Xi. He wasn't Tuoba Xi's match head-on, but in terms of defense, he was already at Title Douluo-level like Huyan Zhen, so the newly promoted Saint Dragon Douluo could not break through in a short ti.
The last Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Soul Emperor supported Yu Yuanzhen. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile's boost, Yu Yuanzhen's attributes rose by 70%. As a Super Douluo, plus dragonification, he could fight three at once.
With their top fighters occupied, Spirit Hall's remaining soul masters couldn't withstand the Seven-in-One's near-Title Douluo attacks for long.
Helpless, Spirit Hall had to retreat.
Yu Yuanzhen, fierce by nature, refused to let them escape. Furious, Mad Lion Douluo stayed behind to cover the retreat.
He succeeded: Spirit Hall's losses were not heavy, but Mad Lion Douluo was killed by Yu Yuanzhen.
Thunder Douluo's dominance was clear, just like Sword Douluo in the original. But his limit was three-on-one; any more and things would be different.
"Sect Master Ning, thank you so much. I'll drink to that first!" Yu Yuanzhen downed his wine. "From now on, our two sects are officially allied. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will follow your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's lead."
"Haha, Clan Leader Yu, you're too polite. Don't forget, our sects are already joined by marriage—how could we not help the family?" Behind Yu Yuanzhen stood three people: Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the couple linking the two sects.
The last was a gloomy middle-aged man—Yu Yuanzhen's brother Yu Luomian, also Liu Erlong's father. Unlike Yu Yuanzhen, though he had a powerful martial soul, he seed strangely effeminate.
When Yu Yuanzhen wasn't around, he handled sect affairs. Today, for so reason, he asked to co along to thank Ning Fengzhi.
Yu Yuanzhen agreed since the sect owed its survival to them.
While the two sect leaders chatted, Tian Lin hurried in. Yu Tianheng rushed up and hugged him.
"Xiao Tian, thank you! Without you, my clan would have been dood. If you ever need , just ask!"
"That's right, Xiao Tian, you saved again. Sister truly thanks you." Dugu Yan, now married, was much gentler than before.
"Tianheng, we're brothers—no need for thanks. Sister Yan is like a real sister to . Of course, I wouldn't let you get hurt," Tian Lin replied.
Seeing the younger generation so close, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen were delighted. Not only the elders but also the heirs of both sects had such close bonds; they had no worries about future cooperation.
