Dugu Feng keenly noticed the unusual tone in Ning Fengzhi's voice.
It seemed Ning Fengzhi was harboring some imbalance in his heart!
Ning Fengzhi wished for the Clear Sky Sect to be strong, but he certainly didn't want it to be this strong.
The addition of four new Titled Douluos was utterly shocking.
The astonishment in Dugu Shuo, who stood before Dugu Feng, was even more overwhelming.
The lie fabricated by his son had actually come true.
The Clear Sky Sect had indeed been developing silently, gaining so many Titled Douluos.
If not for his son's actions, the Clear Sky Sect would have continued to remain hidden, and no one would have noticed that the secluded sect had grown so powerful.
Now that the Clear Sky Sect's strength had surfaced, at least the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would remain wary of them henceforth.
At the same time, Dugu Shuo sighed deeply. The Dugu Family's path to becoming one of the Upper Three Sects was long and arduous.
The heritage of the Upper Three Sects ran too deep.
"Boom!"
At that moment, another deafening explosion erupted from the front.
The sound was so loud that it made Dugu Feng's eardrums throb in pain.
Fight, fight fiercely, and carve out a clear world!
Dugu Feng was exhilarated.
Before the mountain range where the Clear Sky Sect resided.
Yellow, purple, black, and red—Spirit Rings of various colors illuminated the sky.
The entire world seemed to change hues.
Brilliant and dazzling.
Among them, massive Clear Sky Hammers, covered in red patterns and stretching hundreds of meters long, swung and trembled ceaselessly in the sky.
On the other side, overwhelming purple divine light surged, and a colossal phantom of a purple spider blotted out the heavens.
The two sides clashed repeatedly, sending shockwaves rippling outward, causing Dugu Feng and the others in the distance to pale in fear.
The intensity of this battle was overwhelming.
Dugu Feng and his group moved closer but were intercepted by the Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
"Patriarch Ning, please restrain yourselves. The Pope is currently engaged in battle with Tang Hao. If you advance any further, you will be considered enemies of the Spirit Hall, and we will have no choice but to act!"
Sword Douluo was also present but did not proceed further.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, backed by four Titled Douluos, stood firmly in front of the group.
Ning Fengzhi's expression shifted. Chrysanthemum Douluo's words were severe and discourteous.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo tensed, glaring angrily at Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Ning Fengzhi raised his hand slightly, stopping them.
He wasn't truly angry.
The Clear Sky Sect had grown so powerful, yet they hadn't informed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at all.
It wasn't until the news leaked and spread across the continent that he contacted the Clear Sky Sect and learned of their true strength.
This left him deeply unsettled.
How could he possibly help Tang Hao in this fight?
His purpose in coming was mainly to assert his stance and gather information.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School naturally has no intention of interfering in the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect. However, your confrontation has already caused unrest across the entire continent.
I sincerely hope this matter can be resolved swiftly to restore peace to the land."
Ning Fengzhi's tone was gentle, as if he truly cared for the Spirit Master World.
"Hmph, Patriarch Ning, nine of our Spirit Hall's branch temples were completely annihilated, with over five hundred Soul Masters killed—all atrocities committed by Tang Hao! Without eliminating Tang Hao, there will be no stability in this continent!"
Ghost Douluo suddenly snorted coldly beside him.
The four Titled Douluos behind him were equally furious.
Tang Hao had truly enraged the Spirit Hall this time.
"Moreover, Tang Hao killed the previous Pope. Out of consideration for the Clear Sky Sect's seclusion, our Spirit Hall chose not to pursue further retribution.
But Tang Hao had secretly infiltrated with malicious intent.
He truly doesn't hold Spirit Hall in any regard.
This time, we must make him pay!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said slowly.
At this moment, Dugu Feng and the others finally understood why the fight had broken out.
It turned out Tang Hao had approached Spirit Hall's people and been discovered.
How bold of Tang Hao.
What exactly does he want to do? Does he want to kill Bibi Dong?
The Clear Sky Sect's strength is inferior to Spirit Hall's, and none from the Hall of Worship have appeared.
What exactly is Tang Hao planning?
At the center of the battlefield.
"Tang Hao, you still dare to secretly attack me? Trying to repeat what happened to my teacher over ten years ago?
You're too arrogant!"
Bibi Dong sneered.
Leading a group of Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, she had completely sealed off the Clear Sky Sect.
But she had only targeted the officials and soldiers in the Soul Hunting Forest.
As for the Clear Sky Sect itself, she hadn't planned to attack them yet.
Her goal was merely to seal them off.
Just then, news arrived that nine of Spirit Hall's branch halls had been destroyed.
That giant black hammer could belong to none other than Tang Hao.
Bibi Dong was furious.
What angered her even more was that Tang Hao had secretly infiltrated Spirit Hall's encirclement.
His purpose was obvious—he intended to attack her.
Bibi Dong possessed formidable spiritual power, further enhanced by a spiritual Soul Bone she possessed.
Moreover, while besieging the Clear Sky Sect, she had remained highly vigilant.
Thus, Tang Hao's infiltration was immediately detected.
The result, naturally, was like fire meeting gunpowder—both sides erupted into battle.
Tang Hao had always been her imaginary enemy, an obstacle to her ambition of unifying the continent.
Bibi Dong also wanted to test her strength against Tang Hao. If she couldn't even overcome Tang Hao, how could she ever become a god?
She didn't order her subordinate Titled Douluo to attack.
Instead, she faced Tang Hao personally.
"Bibi Dong, your teacher killed my wife, and now your Spirit Hall has stolen my wife's remains and Soul Bone.
Return A Yin to me! Return my Soul Bone!"
Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer smashed down furiously.
The purple light before Bibi Dong trembled violently under the impact.
After regaining consciousness in the waterfall stone chamber, Tang Hao hadn't easily believed the words left behind.
But upon careful consideration, apart from Spirit Hall—who had been searching for him all these years and might have discovered A Yin and the Soul Bone—who else would go to such a desolate place?
Thus, Spirit Hall remained the most likely culprit.
When he arrived outside the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate, he didn't act recklessly. Instead, he planned to first investigate using the connection between his Spirit Rings and A Yin.
But the result was that Bibi Dong's strength exceeded his expectations.
At least in terms of spiritual power, she was exceptionally strong.
He had barely approached when he was discovered.
Since he'd been found out, and being someone who wouldn't show weakness, battle was inevitable.
Tang Hao roared with hatred and swung his Clear Sky Hammer.
Bibi Dong was forced back hundreds of meters.
Bibi Dong was stunned—who took your wife's remains? Who took your wife's Soul Bone?
"Tang Hao, stop slandering me! No matter the reason, you won't escape death today!"
Bibi Dong quickly began her counterattack.
How dare he falsely accuse me.
She raised her arms, which became ethereal.
In an instant, two giant scythe blades materialized from her arms.
The scythe blades, dozens of zhang long, were composed of purple energy yet appeared as solid as physical objects.
They clashed fiercely with Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Hao's explosive power was formidable, and Bibi Dong had to exert all her strength to withstand it.
She realized the biggest gap between her and Tang Hao.
It was their auras.
Both possessed the Slaughter God Domain.
Bibi Dong understood better than anyone that at her level, aura was equivalent to strength.
The Domain was the application of aura energy.
Tang Hao carried an invincible, domineering, and overwhelming aura.
