Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

The next morning, the stall owner who delivered meals to the Spirit Hall saw that no one came to pick up the meals, so he bravely entered the Spirit Hall to find out what was going on.

Unexpectedly, when he walked in, he found it filled with corpses of Spirit Hall masters. Even Miles died in the office.

The news of the Spirit Hall massacre spread like wildfire, and the people of Gengxin City flocked to the streets, announcing the good news with loud gongs and drums. It was obvious that before this, they had been bullied by the Spirit Hall a lot.

Of course, many people were curious about what happened in the Spirit Hall last night.

After all, with the strength of the Spirit Hall, no one in Gengxin City could slaughter all the people in the Spirit Hall without making any noise.

Some sharp-eyed people said that they saw a hundred thousand year spirit ring in the sky above the Spirit Hall last night.

As for the true situation, the citizens did not care, so multiple versions of the story emerged as the citizens continued to spread rumors to each other.

In general, Miles offended some unknown powerful being, and the Spirit Hall was slaughtered together.

Wuhun City.

After not receiving Miles' work report for a long time in the Pope's Palace, Pope Bibi Dong sent someone to investigate the situation.

The investigation commissioner had just entered the city and had not yet officially started the investigation when he heard the citizens discussing the destruction of the Spirit Hall in the city after dinner.

The investigator was a little skeptical at first.

With the strength of the Spirit Hall, no one on the continent dared to destroy a branch hall, which would be equivalent to declaring war on the Spirit Hall.

But when he arrived at the location of the Wuhun Hall in Gengxin City, he could not help but believe the situation before him.

This place had long been smashed into ruins by the angry masses, and the traces of the fighting inside had long been buried under the ruins.

The investigators simply cleared an area and soon found a rotting body. But when they wanted to further examine the cause of death, they were discovered by the people in the city.

For a moment, a large number of people surrounded them and were ready to take action.

Seeing that things were not going well, the investigation commissioner dared not stay here any longer and fled back to Wuhun City in disgrace.

As for the specific reasons for the destruction of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City, several investigation specialists colluded with each other and reported to Bibi Dong based on a version of the story circulating in the city.

There are only a few people on the continent who possess a hundred thousand year spirit ring.

Having the strength and ability to destroy the Spirit Hall of Gengxin City silently overnight, coupled with the migration of the Blacksmith Association, Bibi Dong immediately had the answer in her mind - Tang Hao!
After all, Tang Hao is also a master craftsman of the time, and Lou Gao is likely to be convinced by him.

It is not important to Bibi Dong whether it is true or not. What is important is to use this opportunity to give an explanation to everyone in the Spirit Hall.

Of course, these are all for later.

……

In the early morning, Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong were about to return, and Feng Xiaotian and others saw them off.

"Tianchen, if our three families can join the Tianjian Sect, please settle my people." Feng Xiaotian bowed slightly and said solemnly.

Ning Tianchen helped him up and said with a smile, "Xiaotian, if the Feng, Shui and Huo families join the sect, they will all be ours in the future. Don't worry, even without me, Yang Wudi and the other three elders will make sure they are well taken care of."

Yudie smiled and said, "Don't forget the promise you made to me. Father has been wandering with us sisters for many years. He needs a backer, a backer who will not bear grudges."

The information previously obtained from Qian Renxue has confirmed that Zhang Erhe is innocent.

However, at present he cannot appear too close to the Spirit Hall, and the matter of redress will have to wait until later.

Zhang Erhe is mainly responsible for intelligence gathering, so he doesn't need to come out in the open, which can avoid some trouble.

Especially after the sect was established, Zhang Erhe must not be exposed to the eyes of various forces, so as to avoid a direct conflict with the Xingluo Empire.

About a few minutes later, Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong boarded the carriage and headed north.

Feng Xiaotian and others cannot sit idle, they need to assist the Blacksmith Association in relocation.

Of course, before returning, Ning Tianchen had already written letters back to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect. Soon, the two major sects would send people to meet them on the way.

Inside the carriage, Ning Tianchen opened the map.

This is a confidential map with detailed terrain information marked on it. The height of mountains and rivers, the width and depth of rivers are all clearly visible on the map.

"Brother Tianchen, why don't we rush out of the border overnight? As long as we enter the territory of the Tiandou Empire, we will be safe." Ning Rongrong suggested.

The Xingluo Empire and the Tiandou Empire implemented completely different strategies during wartime.

The Xing Luo Empire has very loose domestic controls, but does not allow people to leave the country privately. One must obtain special approval from the governors of various places to leave the Xing Luo Empire during wartime.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does not have many industries in the Xing Luo Empire and its influence is very limited. Therefore, it is impossible for Ning Tianchen to obtain the exit documents, and they must find another way to return.

Ning Tianchen thought about it, shook his head and said, "Our identities are too sensitive. If we are recognized when we force our way across the border, we will be in big trouble."

If you want to break through, you must use your martial soul. The Seven Killing Sword and Nine Treasure Glazed Tower martial souls are too recognizable. Once recognized, the Xingluo Empire will definitely take the opportunity to launch a public opinion war and put pressure on the Tiandou Empire.

After a long silence, Ning Rongrong marked a road on the map, "Brother Tianchen, the route you gave the Blacksmith Association is from the Xingdou Great Forest to the north and into the Tiandou Empire."

"I don't see a good route at the moment. How about we go through the Star Forest?"

Ning Tianchen shook his head. “Although this road will not attract the attention of the Xing Luo Empire, it is relatively long and not very safe.”

"According to the date, the sect's construction is almost completed. I must go back as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation."

After thinking for a while, he pointed to a relatively close and safer road, "Let's go through this way. The border here is far away from the war zone, and the defense will be looser. When we get close to the border, we will abandon the carriage and cross over overnight."

……

At the same time, after many days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Tang San and his companions finally walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest and took a short rest in the nearby Liushui City.

This city was the first city Ning Tianchen entered when he walked out of the City of Slaughter.

Originally, the Hong family ran a number of businesses here. Due to the situation on the mainland and Hong Xinyue's relationship, they became the agent of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the commercial market of the Xingluo Empire. Now, they are no longer restricted to this small piece of land and have moved their entire family to Xingluo City.

Tang San and his crew had a very difficult journey, and when entering the city, in order not to arouse suspicion from the city guards, they once again divided into small teams.

When they set out, there were nearly two hundred people in the team, but during the journey through the Star Dou Great Forest, twenty disciples of the Li Clan remained there forever.

You know, they rushed into the most dangerous soul beast forest without any preparation.

Among the twenty people who died, only one was killed by a soul beast. As for the remaining nineteen, half of them died of malnutrition, while the other half were unfamiliar with the terrain and fell into a deeper cave and died.

Of course, although there are many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, they dare not provoke large groups of soul beasts easily, which results in them being hungry most of the time along the way.

Even if they catch prey, they will give priority to Tang San and others.

One can imagine what kind of hardships the disciples of the Li clan experienced along the way.

After entering the hotel, Tang San and others quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Tai Tan said anxiously, "Young Master, think of a solution quickly. After this trip, many of the family disciples are dissatisfied with you, and some are even planning to leave the team."

No one can stand not eating well, not sleeping well, and being treated like a beast of burden on the road! With the prestige of Titan, he can suppress it temporarily, but once someone resists, it will become a prairie fire and spread quickly.

If the blockage is not resolved for a long time, the country will inevitably fall apart.

Tang San certainly knew that the disciples of the Power Clan were dissatisfied with him, but in the Star Dou Great Forest, even if you have money, you can't buy food, so these people can only grit their teeth and persevere.

Now that they have made it through and arrived in the city, if they don't give the disciples of the powerful clan some benefits, the team will probably really break up.

Without waiting for him to speak, Yu Xiaogang took out 20,000 gold soul coins from his soul guide and said, "Master Tai Tan, use this money to improve everyone's food. Also, tell everyone that we will prepare enough dry food before we set off, so that everyone can rest assured that they don't have to go hungry on the road."

Tai Tan's frown relaxed slightly, and he clasped his fists, "Thank you, Master. I will go and calm the young men of the family first, you two can chat."

With that, Titan left the room.

"Thank you, teacher." Tang San said weakly.

Leading a team of 200 people, just crossing the Xingdou Great Forest caused such a large number of casualties. If the Tang Sect encounters a war in the future, it is unknown how many people will die.

Tang San fell into self-doubt.

He wondered in his heart, could he really be a good sect leader?
Tang Xiao noticed his expression, smiled and patted his shoulder, and sat beside him, "Xiao San, do you know what kind of Haotian Sect I took over?"

Tang San was not born at that time, so he was not clear about the specific situation.

But I think the situation won't get any better.

Tang Yuehua continued, "Xiao San, when Brother Xiao took over the sect, the sect had just experienced a great war with the Spirit Hall, and its foundation was unstable and precarious."

"But from what we can see today, Brother Xiao's ability is beyond doubt. He has led the Haotian Sect from its lowest point to its peak, step by step."

It’s a pity that if it weren’t for the soul hunting operation launched by the Spirit Hall, the Haotian Sect would have made a huge leap in strength if it had accumulated for a few more years.

Tang Xiao's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he quickly gathered his emotions. He smiled and said, "Xiao San, no one is born a leader. They all need to learn and grow over a long period of time."

"You have me and the master by your side. If you encounter any problems, we will help you deal with them. Of course, I hope you can't just rely on external forces. You need to keep improving."

Yu Xiaogang then said, "Xiao San, do you still remember how I taught you in the beginning?"

"Leading a sect is like practicing. You need to take one step at a time. There are no shortcuts."

"To be honest, I am amazed at how fast you are growing. If I were your age, I would never be able to do what you have done."

After some encouragement, Tang San regained his confidence.

But the burden on him is still heavy. Establishing the Tang Sect, rebuilding the Haotian Sect, and taking revenge on the Spirit Hall are not easy tasks.

Tang San arranged: "Uncle, you secretly assist Senior Tai Tan and stabilize the emotions of the disciples of the Power Clan. If anyone secretly defected, kill them on the spot."

If someone defected, their whereabouts would be revealed, causing unnecessary trouble.

In order to have a smooth journey ahead, Tang San must be ruthless.

Tang Xiao readily agreed to this.

Tang San's ability to kill decisively proved that their teachings during this period had taken effect.

……

a few days later.

Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong crossed the border of the Xingluo Empire overnight and successfully arrived in the Tiandou Empire.

After walking for a few more days, they arrived at a city gate.

Looking up, the plaque on the city gate clearly read "Yelin City".

Ning Rongrong smiled brightly and pointed at the plaque and said, "Brother Tianchen, you promised Rongrong at the beginning."

Ning Tianchen rubbed her forehead and said softly, "I haven't forgotten. I wonder if there is still a lantern festival in the city?"

The Lantern Festival in Yelin City is well-known throughout the mainland, and the festival happens to be held in the last few days.

However, the two empires are now at war on the border, and it is still unknown whether Yelin, a border city, will hold the Lantern Festival.

After entering the city, the two found a hotel and rested for a while.

Through the hotel window, you can see people coming and going on the street.

These people did not seem to feel any urgency about the coming war. Instead, they were buying things on the street with joy on their faces.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong said with a smile: "Brother Tianchen, there may really be a lantern festival tonight."

Ning Tianchen nodded and took her downstairs.

The hotel where they stayed was on the edge of the city of Yellin, not close to the downtown area.

The two walked around the city and soon found the downtown area.

Since it was still afternoon, it wasn't very busy here, with more vendors selling lantern festival supplies.

Ning Rongrong took Ning Tianchen's arm and walked to a stall.

Ning Rongrong was choosing the paper lantern she liked, while Ning Tianchen was chatting with the boss.

"Speaking of which, the border between the two countries is not peaceful, so why is the lantern festival being held in Yelin City?" Ning Tianchen asked.

The boss looked at him and said with a complicated expression: "During this special period, guests can come to Yellin City from other places. I think your family must be quite powerful."

"Hey~ It's good to have business this year. In previous years, there would be people from other places coming to join in the fun at the Lantern Festival, but I'm afraid that won't happen this year. If there were no Spirit Hall, we paper lantern vendors would have to go hungry this year."

The boss revealed a lot.

There was a war going on on the border, and the defense of Yelin City was under great pressure, so the city lord had no intention of holding a lantern festival.

But for some reason, this year the Spirit Hall actually personally hosted the Lantern Festival, and even put pressure on the Star Luo Empire in order to ensure that the Lantern Festival was held normally.

The Xing Luo Empire's army dared to attack Yelin City during the Lantern Festival, which was tantamount to declaring war on the Spirit Hall.

In this battle, both sides were trying to determine the attitude of the Spirit Hall, and the Star Luo Empire certainly did not dare to offend the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, during the Lantern Festival, Yelin City was undoubtedly the safest city on the border of the Tiandou Empire.

"So that's how it is." Ning Tianchen nodded thoughtfully.

Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang had been to the Yelin City Lantern Festival. In the original time and space, after Bibi Dong declared war on the two empires, the Wuhun Empire quickly captured Yelin City.

I think Bibi Dong should know that there will be no lantern festivals for a long time in the future.

I think this lantern festival was ordered by her. (End of this chapter)
