Chapter 210 Harvest
Yang Podi ignored the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and returned to Tianxing Academy alone.
Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Yang Podi did consider launching a sneak attack. Given Sword Douluo's condition and strength at the time, Yang Podi was fully confident he could easily kill him.
However, after careful consideration, he ultimately decided to give up. The Spirit Hall was too powerful now, and leaving Sword Douluo and his group behind would at least have some restraining effect on the Spirit Hall.
Of course, it was this fleeting killing intent that Sword Douluo was able to sense. Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head: Sword Douluo's strength is indeed different after entering level 97. He is obviously much more perceptive. It's a pity that he can't improve any further in his life unless he can get Ye Lingling's full treatment. Perhaps there is still hope for him to recover his right arm.
Yang Podi had always had a question: how could Ning Fengzhi, with his ultimate support, plus Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, lose to four Title Douluos whose soul power was lower than theirs?
However, I learned a lot from today's battlefield experience. If it were just a battle of souls, Ning Fengzhi, along with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, would not be afraid of four titled Douluos at all. Unfortunately, the opposing team also had 10,000 soul masters, especially many of them high-level soul masters. Basically, it was as if the three of them were being besieged.
In this situation, a soul skill, or even the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, would occasionally strike Ning Fengzhi. This meant that not only could Ning Fengzhi not provide support with peace of mind, but Bone Douluo also had to protect Ning Fengzhi. As a result, regardless of whether Bone Douluo was present or not, Sword Douluo always had to fight four opponents at once.
After secretly returning to Tianxing Academy, Yang Podi came out of his secluded room. During his disappearance over the past few days, Yang Podi had explained to the outside world that he had gained some insights into his martial spirit and was currently in seclusion to cultivate.
However, when Yang Podi arrived at his grandfather's residence, the group seemed to be arguing about something.
Besides Grandpa Yang Wudi, Grandpa Niu Gao, and Dugu Bo, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were also present.
However, Grandpa Niu Gao and Ghost Douluo remained silent, both of them seemingly dozing off.
The argument between Chrysanthemum Douluo, Dugu Bo, and Yang Wudi was quite heated, seemingly concerning medicinal herbs.
Yang Podi walked straight into the room: "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, Senior Ghost Douluo, I have recently had some enlightenment and just came out of seclusion. How come you two have so much free time to visit our Almo Mountain?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo retorted, "You're allowed to visit our home, but I'm not allowed to come and have some fun here?"
Yang Podi simply smiled and shook his head: "Tianxing Academy welcomes both of you seniors at any time. However, it seems that Senior Ghost Douluo almost never goes out and doesn't like medicine. How come you suddenly have time to come to Tianxing Academy?"
"Little Destroyer, Old Ghost just got bored staying in the Spirit Hall, so he came out for a walk to clear his head and pass the time."
Yang Podi was speechless. The excuses these two gave were too lame. They were obviously ordered to come and monitor, yet they pretended to be indifferent. However, given the losses suffered by the Spirit Hall this time, the two would probably leave soon.
Just as Yang Podi had predicted, on the third day alone, someone came to inform Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to return to the Spirit Hall.
After the two left, Yang Podi also hid alone in the secret room, preparing to tidy up and see how his gains were.
This time, they directly searched three treasure vaults of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and three treasure vaults of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It can be said that the harvest was extremely rich, and all ten storage soul tools that Yang Podi had prepared were filled.
Inside the secret room, Yang Podi first took out all the lead boxes, and the entire secret room immediately became radiant and dazzling.
After taking stock, forty-five soul bones were obtained this time. The three oldest ones were naturally the three on Yu Yuanzhen's body, all of which were 80,000 years old. These included a head soul bone, a left arm soul bone, and a right arm soul bone. Strangely, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan clearly had other 10,000-year-old soul bones, but Yu Yuanzhen did not absorb them. This was putting the cart before the horse. Instead of absorbing the soul bones, he hoarded them, but as a result, he was not strong enough and they were all taken away.
Of course, these forty-five soul bones represent the entire storage of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and half of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which can be considered the foundation of these two families over thousands of years.
In particular, among these soul bones, there are actually six other soul bones that are over 50,000 years old, plus more than 30 soul bones that are over 10,000 years old. As for soul bones that are less than 10,000 years old, there are fewer, less than ten. It is estimated that the two major sects look down on thousand-year soul bones.
Besides the forty-five soul bones, there were countless other items, including more than a billion gold soul coins, as well as various rare and precious materials, including countless thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and even other treasures.
According to Yang Podi's own estimate, the wealth he has gained this time alone is enough to cultivate a new sect, and this new sect will not be weak.
In the Papal Palace of Wuhun City, Pope Bibi Dong's face was unusually ashen, while the five Title Douluos below her were all silent, and even the usually favored Saintess Hu Liena remained completely silent.
Below, a cardinal is giving a briefing on the entire war.
"Your Holiness, you dispatched ten thousand Soul Masters to besiege the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, including a thousand Soul Masters from the four lower sects. During the attack, they were discovered by patrolling disciples, forcing us to launch a direct assault. Our side suffered four thousand Soul Masters killed and three thousand seriously wounded. Elder Demon Bear, Elder Serpent Spear, and Elder Porcupinefish were severely injured, forcing us to temporarily retreat. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is estimated to have lost approximately two thousand five hundred Soul Masters."
Bibi Dong's face seemed unusually angry: "We mobilized 10,000 Soul Masters, and it was a surprise attack, three times the number of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, yet our losses were twice that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. How can you even bear to say such a result?"
The cardinal soul master, who was reporting his battle results, was suddenly covered in sweat, as if he was under immense pressure.
Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then said, "Continue. What about the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"
The cardinal continued, "We launched a surprise attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with 8,000 Soul Masters, which went undetected beforehand. All 1,800 Soul Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were wiped out, while our side suffered 3,000 casualties. The Ninth Elder and Yu Yuanzhen perished together."
"However, the battle triggered an earthquake, causing a large number of collapses. Yu Yuanzhen's body was smashed to pieces by the boulders, and not even three pieces of his soul bone were preserved."
"In addition, we discovered that the treasure vaults of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had been forcibly broken open, and when we arrived there, all three treasure vaults had been emptied. We don't know who did it."
Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes darted around: "So, you're saying we didn't gain anything from this Soul Hunting Operation?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, unsure of what to say.
After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong seemed to think quietly for a while before speaking: "Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, how is the situation at Tianxing Academy? Have those three Title Douluos left?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head: "Recently, Old Ghost and I have been with Yang Wudi, Niu Gao and Dugu Bo. The three of them have not left. Even Yang Zhentian has been there and has not left. They have been staying in Tianxing Academy."
Bibi Dong's face seemed very gloomy: "The three upper sects are indeed powerful. They have caused me to lose a titled Douluo and seven thousand soul masters, and I have not gained anything at all."
"Ghost Douluo, you should investigate as soon as possible what happened to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and who took the treasure from the vault. I don't believe that this person could appear out of thin air, or that they already knew about our Soul Hunting Operation plan."
Ghost Douluo quickly replied, "Yes, Your Holiness, I will go to Thunder Canyon as soon as possible to find out the truth."
The most tragic one in this Soul Hunting Operation was undoubtedly Yu Xiaogang. After hearing Ning Fengzhi's notification, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong hurriedly returned to Thunder Canyon, but upon returning to the canyon, it felt like entering a hellish place filled with slaughter.
Bloodshed was everywhere, even in the Protectorate River, where countless corpses floated, seemingly indicating that a great battle had taken place here.
After Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong entered the sect, they found corpses everywhere, many of whom were acquaintances of Yu Xiaogang. It was estimated that almost everyone in the family was dead.
In particular, the two found Yu Yuanzhen's corpse, or rather, it could no longer be called a corpse, but rather a collection of countless body fragments, which was rather gruesome.
Liu Erlong fainted on the spot, while Yu Xiaogang knelt in front of Yu Yuanzhen's corpse, his heart filled with boundless hatred and longing for his parents.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dou Empire dispatched troops to help bury the corpses, but the number of bodies was simply too great; the entire Thunder Canyon was filled with new graves.
Finally, Yu Xiaogang, suppressing his tears and boundless hatred, returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. As for other matters, he didn't say much. Now, for Yu Xiaogang, there was only one thing: revenge, to take revenge on the Spirit Hall.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang himself was weak and had no chance of shaking the Spirit Hall. Moreover, according to Yu Xiaogang's estimate, the Spirit Hall had now gathered 70% of the Spirit Masters in the entire Spirit Master world. No one dared to confront the Spirit Hall. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only dared to hide in Heaven Dou City.
The news that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was destroyed and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suffered heavy losses, leaving only five hundred Soul Masters, quickly spread throughout the Douluo Continent. Countless small and medium-sized forces began to take sides, and each Soul Master family was afraid of offending the Spirit Hall, which would bring about their own annihilation.
The situation between the two empires is also more tense than ever before. The former mortal enemies, the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, are actually showing signs of joining forces to fight against the Spirit Hall.
What the public didn't know was that, in addition to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, another great battle was fought, which was even more brutal and had a greater impact.
Inside the secret chamber of Tianxing Academy, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Dugu Bo, Yang Zhentian, Niu Jinfeng, and Yang Podi gathered together. Even their second grandfather, Yang Wushuang, had returned. Moreover, everyone's expression was very solemn, clearly indicating that they had heard the news from outside.
Yang Wudi said to Yang Podi, "Podi, I never imagined that the Spirit Hall would be so ruthless as to want to destroy two major sects. I'm afraid their ambitions are not small."
Yang Podi shook his head: "This is actually very simple. The Spirit Hall's next target is naturally the two great empires. Since the war with the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Sect has gone into seclusion. Without the Clear Sky Sect's constraints, the Spirit Hall has developed very rapidly over the past ten years, basically encompassing most of the Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent."
"Now that the Spirit Hall is strong, it naturally wants to unify the world. I'm afraid their next goal will be to unify the entire Spirit Master world, and then find a way to deal with the two great empires."
Yang Wudi asked with a grave expression, "Po Di, what should we do then?"
Yang Podi simply smiled slightly: "We don't need to do anything right now, we can just stay in Almo Mountain. As for the sect conflicts outside, they have nothing to do with us."
"But if we allow the Spirit Hall to unify the entire continent, we will likely find it difficult to remain unscathed. Given our hatred for the Spirit Hall, they will come knocking on our door sooner or later." Grandpa Yang Wudi seemed worried.
Yang Podi quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, we're just running an academy right now, and we won't clash with the Spirit Hall. Besides, don't we still have Tianyue? Once Tianyue achieves the Sea God's position, no one will dare to look down on us."
After hearing Yang Podi's words, everyone gradually felt relieved.
