The patriarchs of the Qian family have done many things like this throughout history.
The Soul Hunting Operation is a test for the Tuoba family. If they succeed, the Tuoba family will become the second most powerful family in the Spirit Hall, second only to the Qian family.
Inside the forest, Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Yan stood alone.
Tuoba Xi spoke earnestly, "Yan'er, I know you are very strong, but do we really want to leave everyone outside and only have the two of us attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Fortress? Grandpa has already found out that besides Chen Xin and Gu Rong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has fifteen Soul Douluos and eighty-six Soul Masters. The number of Soul Masters reaches five thousand, meaning at least four thousand five hundred Soul Masters have stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ever since Tuoba Yan beat Ning Rongrong, causing her to suffer multiple fractures, although Ning Rongrong was healed by the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, a grudge was formed from then on.
Chen Xin jumped out again when Tang Hao was looking for Tuoba Yan. Everyone could see that he was full of murderous intent. If it weren't for Crown Prince Xue Qinghe acting as a peacemaker and protecting Tuoba Yan, Tuoba Yan would have been in grave danger.
From then on, Ning Fengzhi raised the sect's alert level to the highest level.
After returning from Martial Soul City, he summoned the soul masters from his sect who were out training, ready to face any possible attacks from the Tuoba family and the Martial Soul Hall.
Tuoba Xi advised, "Shouldn't we reconsider?"
"No need for hesitation. Qian Daoliu hopes that some of our clan's soul masters will be injured or killed, and that our clan will be severely weakened. We cannot let him have his way. Let's go, let's go and meet the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Tuoba Yan lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped through the night forest.
When he arrived at the outer perimeter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Fortress, he suddenly took advantage of the night and rose into the sky.
He made a sweeping motion in the air in front of him with his right hand, and barely managed to create twenty large fireballs with a diameter of over ten meters.
The fireball illuminated the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, the fireball rapidly compressed to a diameter of one meter.
"go!"
With a wave of his hand, Tuoba Yan sent twenty compressed fireballs crashing down from the sky, landing precisely in twenty different directions towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Fortress.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The ground shook violently.
Twenty fireballs landed and exploded simultaneously, forming twenty mushroom clouds.
The explosion startled the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's soul masters from their dreams.
Before they could even step out of the house, another round of compressed fireballs landed.
"Boom boom boom!"
Countless houses were blown up.
The beautiful buildings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect collapsed one by one in the shockwave of the explosion.
After two rounds of compressed fireballs, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was already engulfed in flames.
By the time people rushed out of the room, Tuoba Yan in the sky had already completed the third round of fireball compression.
"Again!"
Another twenty fireballs rained down from the sky.
Six of the fireballs were intercepted in mid-air by a soul skill.
However, the shockwave from the explosion still affected the Soul Masters who had just emerged from the sea of fire.
The other fourteen fireballs exploded upon landing.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has as many as five thousand Soul Masters, not including the maids who serve them.
In the blink of an eye, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had transformed from a paradise on earth into a hell on earth.
Chen Xin burst out of a building, stepping into the void, and confronted Tuoba Yan in mid-air, roaring furiously, "Boy, it's you!"
"Yes, it's me. I've come for revenge!" Tuoba Yan's voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout every corner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Fight me! If I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not human!" Chen Xin glanced down at the ravaged hell on the ground, his anger blazing.
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and many other powerful figures with strong auras and soul power levels at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo levels rushed towards this place.
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "You say you'll go to war, but did I agree to it?"
After speaking, Tuoba Yan transformed into a streak of red light and retraced his steps. His voice echoed in the air.
"Ning Fengzhi, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I only want Chen Xin. You have three days to hand over Chen Xin, or please forgive my ruthlessness!"
A piercing sound of wind breaking through the air rang out.
In no time at all, Tuoba Yan had disappeared without a trace.
Chen Xin wanted to chase after him, but Ning Fengzhi protected her in time.
"Uncle Sword, wait!"
"Feng Zhi, he's already come knocking on our door!"
"Tuoba Yan launched a night attack on our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and we don't yet know how many troops he brought. Going after him alone would likely lead to an ambush. Don't panic. I'll send someone to Tiandou City to request reinforcements from His Majesty. As long as we can hold off the Temple Knights under Salas's command, we need to plan this carefully!"
...
Half an hour later, in the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi sat on the throne, with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, sitting on the thrones on his left and right.
A messenger, wounded and with blood on his clothes, ran into the council hall and knelt on one knee before Ning Fengzhi.
"Reporting to the sect leader, there was also an ambush in the west. All the messengers who traveled with me perished; only I escaped!"
Ning Fengzhi remained silent, his expression extremely gloomy.
Within half an hour, he sent out four waves of messengers, each breaking out from four different directions, in an attempt to seek help from the outside world.
However, only one of the messengers sent out will return alive.
This gave Ning Fengzhi a huge headache, as he had no idea how many people Tuoba Yan had brought.
Under the attack of three waves of compressed fireballs, totaling sixty compressed fireballs, the morale of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect plummeted, and countless people were injured.
The sect is filled with the accumulated resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over generations.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't afford to gamble. He dared not lead the remaining men in a breakout. He could only hope that Tiandou City would hear the commotion and send someone to rescue them as soon as possible.
The Crown Prince's Residence.
Xue Qinghe was lying in bed sleeping.
Ripples spread through the room as the Serpent Spear Douluo, She Long, appeared out of thin air, his back to the bed.
"Miss, there's an unusual energy fluctuation coming from the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. There must be a Title Douluo-level expert fighting there."
"Who is it?"
"There are only two people who have reached the combat power of a Fire-attribute Title Douluo: Ling Yuan and Tuoba Yan! The domineering nature of the flame energy doesn't seem like Ling Yuan's; I guess it's Tuoba Yan!"
"Cousin?"
"It must be him!"
"What is he doing at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Given his personality, he would never go there to freeload."
"What about Father Emperor? Has he made any unusual moves?"
"Nothing at the moment."
"Then, go to sleep!"
...
The Tiandou Empire, in His Majesty Xue Ye's bedchamber.
A person shrouded in black robes suddenly appeared in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, a strong energy fluctuation has occurred at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. According to the secret agents' investigation, Tuoba Yan is causing chaos at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"How many people did the Spirit Hall send?"
"The exact number is unclear. To prevent them from noticing, our people dare not get too close. A rough estimate is that there are over eight hundred of them. We have sealed off the four exit routes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Only eight hundred men?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"What unusual activity has the Crown Prince made?"
"He's asleep!"
"Hmm, he slept well. Let's explore again!"
Ning Fengzhi, who was waiting for rescue at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, never dreamed that the two important members of the royal family on whom he placed his hopes for support—Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and His Majesty Xue Ye—would choose to turn a blind eye after learning the news.
That makes sense.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is as wealthy as a country.
The Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect expanded rapidly, its number of Soul Masters exceeding five thousand.
For a sect that assists the emperor to possess such a high-ranking soul master, far exceeding the standards of ordinary first-class soul master families, His Majesty Xue Ye really wanted to ask Ning Fengzhi what he was trying to do.
