Chapter 372: Gathering Strength
Qian Renxue nodded and slowly explained the news that she had already sent soldiers into Haotian Sect under the guise of assisting Tiandou Empire's military to resist strong enemies.
"I've already sent people under the pretext of supporting them to resist powerful foes, and once they have gathered the defensive layout, we can strike them by surprise, reducing our losses to a minimum."
Upon hearing that their people had infiltrated Haotian Sect as internal support for this operation, everyone smiled.
"That makes things much easier. At least we won't have to face the Haotian Hammer head-on."
"Exactly. Once we have the defense map, we can use Old Ghost's speed to catch them off guard."
Yue Guan, who was very confident in the assassination skills of their old comrade, immediately thought of having them clear the outer posts first, then hitting Haotian Sect when they least expected it.
Qian Renxue didn't disagree, as she had already provided the method, and how they executed it was up to them.
"By the way, Miss, will Young Master Ning be joining us?"
Thinking of the help Ning Bei had provided during their attack on the Blue Electric Tyrant Clan, Yue Guan immediately asked if Ning Bei would participate in the operation. Having him involved would make everything much easier.
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo also turned their gaze to Qian Renxue. As elders, they held Ning Bei in high regard.
"Ah Bei probably won't go, but he will provide us with some assistance."
"Assistance?"
The Title Douluo who hadn't yet witnessed Ning Bei's soul beasts immediately looked puzzled.
"Could it be Sword and Bone Title Douluo?"
"No, you'll see when the time comes. It's a long journey. Elders, please rest in the palace for now."
The others didn't dwell on this issue. Even if Ning Bei didn't intervene, they had full confidence that their current lineup would be enough to take down Haotian Sect; it would just take more effort.
After the five left, Qian Renxue turned to look at Qian Jun and Jiang Mo and smiled.
"Grandpas, what brings you here? I didn't even ask for your help!"
This time, the two didn't make any jokes and directly informed Qian Renxue about Bibi Dong's actions to borrow people from the Worship Hall just to be on the safe side. This made her fall silent.
"Hmph, an unnecessary move."
Seeing Qian Renxue's slightly petulant expression, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo both laughed. Having watched this little angel grow up, they knew full well that she actually appreciated Bibi Dong's actions but wouldn't say so.
Not wanting to get involved in the mother-daughter feud, the two didn't bring up Bibi Dong again but instead asked about Ning Bei.
"I heard from what you said earlier that he still has hidden forces he can mobilize from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?"
"Yes, Sixth Grandpa, Ah Bei can still call on a group of soul beast friends to assist. They are very strong, and you two might not even be able to match them."
When they heard that Ning Bei could call on soul beasts for assistance, both of them were stunned, but after hearing the latter part, they showed a dismissive smile.
"Oh? What kind of soul beasts could make us, two old men, unable to do anything? Little Xue, tell us more."
After all, they were Title Douluo with over 96 levels of cultivation. If these soul beasts weren't 100,000-year-old beasts with extraordinary bloodlines, they weren't afraid of them. They thought Qian Renxue might be exaggerating, or perhaps, like every lover, she had inflated Ning Bei's qualities in her eyes.
Qian Renxue smiled lightly, covering her mouth and clearing her throat.
"Well, Sixth Grandpa, how about a 300,000-year-old Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear? Can you handle that?"
Qian Jun, who had just been acting all dignified, was instantly caught off guard, his face full of disbelief as he turned to look at Qian Renxue.
"A 300,000-year-old Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear? Little Xue, are you joking with Sixth Grandpa?"
A Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear? Just the claws of a 10,000-year-old one were enough to make even a Super Douluo think twice about attacking. The thought of a 300,000-year-old Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear made both of them shiver.
Qian Renxue had already expected this reaction and continued smiling as she introduced Ning Bei's companions.
"There's also a 300,000-year-old Sky Blue Bull Python and a 300,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape. Grandpa, don't be so surprised."
Jiang Mo was bewildered, pointing at his nose. Was he overreacting? Did she want him to listen to the kinds of creatures she was mentioning—things that only existed in theory?
"I'm not lying. You'll see them soon. Otherwise, how do you think the Star Luo Empire was conquered?"
It took them a while to calm down, and after seeing the serious expression on Qian Renxue's face, they believed half of it, though the other half, they still wanted to see for themselves.
Several days later, the Soul Master team sent by Bibi Dong arrived at Tiandou Empire. The number wasn't very large, only about 500 people, but they were all elite forces consisting of Soul Kings and above. Their target was Haotian Sect, not any empire. The strategy of using sheer numbers wasn't necessary, so 500 people was just right.
With the cover from the Soul Master team sent by Qian Renxue, they entered Tiandou City without drawing attention, smoothly arriving under the command of the little angel and waiting for orders.
Including the forces she had cultivated over the years and the disciples sent by Ning Fengzhi, Qian Renxue had assembled a thousand-strong team of Soul Masters, with all of them at least Soul Grandmasters.
Thinking about the forces she commanded, Qian Renxue glanced at Ning Bei, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
"How about it, isn't it great?"
"Yes, it's enough to take down Haotian Sect."
"Will you be going too?"
"Yes, I'll be overseeing things from the shadows. Most likely, I won't need to step in; these people will be enough."
Ning Bei didn't expect that even Jiang Mo and Qian Jun, the Title Douluo, would be stationed at the front for this operation, which made it even more foolproof.
"Good. Then you keep an eye on Tang San. I wonder if ordinary Soul Masters will be able to deal with him."
"That's what I meant. But don't worry, after this is over, you can safely return to the Spirit Hall for your divine trial."
"That's good."
Knowing that her man was just one step away from the divine position, Qian Renxue felt a bit anxious, and her desire to return to the Spirit Hall grew more urgent. Haotian Sect was the final obstacle in all of this.
Since the thousand-person Soul Master team was still somewhat conspicuous, to prevent Haotian Sect from noticing them prematurely, the five Spirit Hall elders decided to set off first. The rest of the team, led by Shema and Purple, would follow in batches.
Ning Bei, Jiang Mo, and Qian Jun would remain at the rear, overseeing the operation.
"I heard you can summon some powerful soul beasts?"
Ever since Qian Renxue told him about this, Jiang Mo had been itching to know more. Now that he had the chance, he certainly wanted to take a look.
"Yes, Grandpa. I do have some soul beast companions."
"How about the Dark Golden?"
Seeing Jiang Mo hesitate, Ning Bei waved his hand, summoning Ah Bao and the other soul beast companions from the Dan Tower.
Jiang Mo and Qian Jun instantly tensed up. Just the aura emanating from these beasts made their hairs stand on end.
