Chapter 262: News of Ning Fengzhi's Death; Star Dou Great Forest
"Grandpa Gu, Father and Grandpa Sword set off to return to the Sect early on the day the Soul Master Tournament just ended."
After Ning Rongrong learned of Gu Rong's reason for coming, her pretty face was also filled with confusion and worry. "By right, they should have arrived at Heaven Dou City long ago. How is it that they haven't sent back any messages until now?"
Hearing this, Gu Rong's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
An unprecedented, bone-chilling cold instantly swept through his entire body.
In his mind, he uncontrollably flashed back to that bottomless crater he had glimpsed on the way to Spirit City.
An extremely ominous premonition appeared in his heart.
"Rongrong, you and the other two girls hurry and pack your bags, don't delay for a single moment! Grandpa Gu is going to confirm something, and I'll take you back to the Sect immediately in a while!"
Leaving behind this instruction, Gu Rong didn't even have time to explain, his figure flashing as he disappeared from the spot.
...
Inside the The Pope's Palace.
After Bibi Dong learned of Gu Rong's anxious arrival, she signaled Yue Guan to truthfully reveal the intelligence held by Spirit Hall.
"Bone Douluo, according to the field investigation by our Spirit Hall Elders, that giant crater on the mandatory path outside Spirit City is a trace left by a life-and-death struggle that exceeded the limits of ordinary Titled Douluo."
"According to what you said, since Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo are still missing, then... there's a high probability they were ambushed and fell in that world-shaking battle."
In an instant, Gu Rong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His entire being instantly turned red-eyed, breathing heavily like an ox.
If Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin really both fell, then their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could truly be said to have suffered a devastating blow to its Origin Qi!
"May I ask, Your Holiness, the one who secretly struck the killing blow... was it that damned Jiang Li of the Tang Sect?!"
Gu Rong gnashed his teeth, every word seemingly squeezed out from between them.
However, Yue Guan slowly shook his head. "Although Jiang Li of the Tang Sect indeed has great suspicion, in the center of that battlefield that was razed to the ground, we discovered extremely clear smashing traces of the Clear Sky Hammer."
"Furthermore, that level of power to destroy corpses and traces is definitely not something one or two Clear Sky Sect Elders could accomplish. As for who specifically struck the vicious blow, our Spirit Hall cannot reach a final conclusion at the moment. Please, Bone Douluo... accept our condolences."
Boom—
Gu Rong only felt his mind go blank; he had heard the most incredible and absurd thing in this world.
The Clear Sky Sect was actually involved in this?
He hurriedly cupped his hands in a salute toward Bibi Dong on the imperial throne, then his figure instantly tore through space, heading toward the crater outside the city like a madman.
If Fengzhi and Chen Xin really died under the Clear Sky Hammer...
Then no matter what, he would make that naturally evil Clear Sky Sect's entire clan, young and old, join in the mourning!
...
As a Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent who was extremely rare in being able to use the power of space, Gu Rong arrived on that tragic scorched earth in just a moment.
When he personally landed at the bottom of the crater and repeatedly confirmed several violent auras and giant hammer prints belonging uniquely to the Clear Sky Hammer, his entire being completely fell into the peak of rage!
What a Clear Sky Sect! Back then, facing the oppression of Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had even secretly lent a helping hand.
Now these god-damned bastards actually committed such an act of backstabbing an ally to the point of extinction!
Since you, the Clear Sky Sect, dared to start this, then don't blame him, Gu Rong, for disregarding his status and bullying the weak in the future!
Carrying a belly full of hatred and killing intent, Gu Rong tore through space again and returned to Ning Rongrong's residence.
Without a word, he waved his large sleeve, sweeping up Ning Rongrong and the other two girls, and directly soared into the sky, leaving the Shrek Academy station.
Now that Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were basically confirmed to have fallen, the sky of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had mostly collapsed.
His primary task now was to ensure Ning Rongrong's safety and support her in securing the throne of the new Sect Master as quickly as possible to stabilize the people's hearts in the Sect.
At the same time, having lost Chen Xin, a level ninety-six Super Douluo, the deterrent power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already plummeted to rock bottom.
Then the value of Meng Yiran and the Dragon Lord and Snake Granny behind her, who could erupt with Titled Douluo combat power, was now incomparable!
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Li's group of three finally arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Tang San had truly stepped into this most vast and profound primeval Soul Beast forest in all the years since he came to the Douluo Continent.
As soon as she stepped into this territory and breathed in the familiar and fresh scent of vegetation around her, Xiao Wu's originally tense nerves instantly relaxed, as if she had returned to her own home.
In the past, without a peerless powerhouse of Jiang Li's level leading the team and providing protection, Xiao Wu would never have dared to easily step into the Star Dou Great Forest.
As a Hundred Thousand Year Transformed Spirit Beast, the massive power of the Origin contained within her body was no different from a walking peerless Heaven And Earth Treasure to the high-level Soul Beasts in the forest.
"Third Brother, Teacher Jiang Li, let's go! I'll take you to find Da Ming and Er Ming!"
Xiao Wu excitedly led the way in front.
Tang San followed behind, curiously observing this primeval and vibrant ancient forest all around.
Walking at the very back of the group, Jiang Li appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he had already quietly activated the Blue Silver Domain. Using the endless Blue Silver Grass spread throughout the Star Dou Great Forest as eyes and ears, his massive Spiritual Power was conducting a carpet-style search, attempting to find traces of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
Now, on that pure and noble Human Emperor Banner in his hand, there were still many empty slots for Soul Rings.
As the saying goes, better to have nothing than something of poor quality. Jiang Li always felt that the little black tiger, which had once been favored by the God of Evil and possessed the ultimate evil attribute, simply had a great destiny with him.
Almost at the same time Xiao Wu stepped into the forest.
In the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, by the shore of the Lake of Life in the Core Circle, ripples appeared. Then, the water surface broke, and a giant python-like Soul Beast emerged from the water; his head was in the shape of a bull's.
With a bull's head and a python's body, and a massive frame hundreds of meters long, this was clearly the Sky Azure Bull Python of the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the other side, a giant figure descended from the sky, landing behind Jiang Li's group of three. The Titan Giant Ape's height of dozens of meters landed among the high mountains and lofty ridges, even making the earth tremble.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, who were originally dozing, suddenly opened their eyes as if they had a premonition, their giant beast pupils looking toward the direction of the forest's outskirts in unison.
The two hundred-thousand-year overlords looked at each other, a trace of incredible shock flashing in their eyes.
In their perception, not only had their beloved Sister Xiao Wu's aura split into two, but even... the aura of Aunt Rou, who should have died long ago, had also appeared together at the outskirts of the forest!
