Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 61 The Demise of the Min Clan

Outside the battlefield, Xu Mingxi saw the Min clan leave and followed them with the sect leader and the grand elder. Their only purpose for this trip was the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

Among the Min clan's ranks, the clan leader, Bai He, who was flying at the very front, was filled with indescribable grief. Not all members of the Min clan were powerful soul masters capable of evading the Spirit Hall's attacks and making long journeys.

For the sake of his family's continuation, he has abandoned almost all the elderly, weak, women, and children, and even those whose martial spirit is not the Swift-tailed Swift have been abandoned.

As a relative by marriage of the Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, he never imagined that one day his sect would be breached and his entire clan would have to flee.

Seeing the severely injured, exhausted members of their clansmen supporting each other as they flew, Baihe, noticing that there were no more pursuers from the Spirit Hall behind them, ordered them to land temporarily and rest for a while to prevent any accidents. They even found a relatively secluded valley.

The white crane stood high in the sky, looking down at the few dozen clansmen who remained below. Even now, it could hardly believe that the Haotian Sect had simply abandoned them.

If the Haotian Sect had given prior notice of the evacuation, the Min clan would not have suffered such a terrible fate.

He seemed somewhat dazed, and didn't even notice that the obstacle in his path had arrived.

Countless golden rays spread down from the sky, transforming into a giant golden birdcage that completely covered the entire Min clan's army.

This is Xu Mingxi's masterpiece. After the fragments given to him by the two elders were integrated into his body, he could freely manipulate starlight and use it at will.

The starlight intensity was even enough to withstand the Grand Elder's full-force sixth soul skill, something that the Agile Clan, with their mere speed, could not possibly break through.

At the last moment, Bai He escaped the birdcage at lightning speed. He looked at all his clansmen trapped in the birdcage and went almost mad. However, the pressure of the Title Douluo that followed instantly brought him back to his senses.

"You are... the Sect Master of the Star Crown Sect? What do you want?"

The white crane roared hoarsely, but the sect leader only glanced at him coldly. Starlight streaked across the sky, and the white crane's terrified expression froze permanently as it plummeted downwards.

The Min clan perished in despair and wailing, for they possessed treasures they could not control.

The Swift Martial Soul has virtually no offensive capabilities. The Min Clan doesn't have much of a livelihood; they mostly serve as scouts and messengers for the Haotian Sect.

Besides lacking strength, they also have pitifully little wealth.

Besides the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Xu Mingxi also found an eight-thousand-year-old soul bone on Bai He's body, which was better than nothing.

Waiting for an opportunity to quietly resolve the Min clan took too much time. By the time Xu Mingxi and the other two returned to Haotian Sect, the war had already ended.

The Spirit Hall's army has already ransacked the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate, and those still searching the ruins are a steady stream of rogue spirit masters.

Seeing that the matter was over, Xu Mingxi returned directly to Xingluo Mountain. As for the outcome of this war, the sect would definitely collect relevant information later.

"The Haotian Sect's mountain gate was breached, and the sect leader Tang Zhen died tragically on the spot. The First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fifth Elder also died. Nearly half of the sect's disciples were killed or injured. After the survivors retreated to the Haotian Sect's ancestral land, the Spirit Hall did not pursue them."

All of its subordinate families fled. The Destruction Clan and the Defense Clan sought refuge in Heaven Dou City. Only the patriarch Titan of the Power Clan remains, currently residing with the Destruction Clan. The whereabouts of the Agility Clan are unknown, presumably wiped out by other forces.

Ning Fengzhi listened to his subordinates' report, his brow furrowed with deep worry.

Tang Hao's actions gave the Spirit Hall a convenient excuse to attack the Clear Sky Sect, something these sects couldn't control even if they wanted to. This not only harmed the Clear Sky Sect but also them.

With the fall of the Clear Sky Sect, the three upper sects exist in name only. Without them standing in front, the sects and families would be scattered and disorganized, and no one could stop the expansion of the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall has undoubtedly reaped countless benefits from this war; the soul bones of the Clear Sky Sect Master and elders alone represent a tremendous fortune.

The invincible myth of the Haotian Sect has been shattered, and the golden signboard of the three upper sects is not so useful anymore. It seems that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also have to find another way out.

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the Sword Bone Douluo sitting beside him.

"Uncle Bone, what was Poison Douluo's response to the letter I asked you to deliver?"

"Dugu Bo's attitude was enthusiastic, but he was not the one in charge of the power and could not make decisions."

I'm not sure about their attitudes; they want to stay in touch, but they don't want to get too close.

Bone Douluo shook his head. He knew Xu Mingxi and the others' feelings; they didn't want to openly side with them, much less openly oppose the Spirit Hall.

Ning Fengzhi sighed. In truth, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not want to be enemies with the Spirit Hall, as the difference in strength was simply too great.

However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is an auxiliary sect and must recruit talents from the outside world. If the Spirit Hall grows stronger and gathers talents from all over the world, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School refuses to be subordinate to it, then it will only face the danger of destruction.

"Uncle Bone, isn't the son of that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan in Heaven Dou City right now?"

"Yes, he formed a three-person group with Cathawk Flander and Liu Erlong, called something like the Golden Iron Triangle."

"Alright, then I'll trouble Uncle Bone to invite him to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a chat."

A glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. He had only been born with half a level of innate soul power, yet he had already become a Great Soul Master. This required a considerable investment of resources. That old dragon really doted on his son.

With the Haotian Sect fallen, the remaining two sects naturally need to strengthen their ties, and this Yu Xiaogang seems to be a good breakthrough point.

In the Spirit Hall, although Qian Xunji's injuries were healed, he became a cripple permanently, and his position as Pope was replaced, temporarily taken over by Qian Daoliu.

From then on, his personality became increasingly unpredictable, and he could only be described with two words when it came to his subordinates and servants: tyrannical.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo couldn't stand his behavior and left his command. They were also unfamiliar with the Elders' Hall and became an independent small group within the Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunji has nothing left. Even Qian Renxue has been taken in and raised by Qian Daoliu, so he can't see her under normal circumstances.

He slumped in the Pope's chair, muttering about everything he had lost, resenting Tang Hao and Golden Crocodile Douluo, blaming everything on others.

Finally, consumed by rage, he remembered the only thing he possessed: Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, a woman he had been drugging and keeping in a secret chamber.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and Qian Xunji revealed a cruel smile, walking towards the secret chamber beneath the Papal Palace with a destructive ferocity.
