Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

Of course, upon hearing about the current state of the sect, Ning Xingchen also thought of a solution, which was actually quite simple.

For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could learn from the original Haotian School's approach and go into seclusion!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now occupies 100,000 mu (approximately 6,667 hectares) and is fully self-sufficient.

The sect occupies a strategically advantageous location, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as they prepare sufficient resources and announce their seclusion, they can avoid all the current problems.

Firstly, it can avoid the exploitation by the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The second reason is to prevent sect disciples from scattering and going out, so that they are all concentrated in the sect. If anyone wants to target the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they can only attack the sect itself.

However, an attack on a sect of this caliber would require the other side to think twice.

Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three major sects, and the Clear Sky Clan were to attack, or even if the Spirit Hall or the two great empires were to attack, it would be a situation where the enemy would suffer a thousand losses and the enemy would suffer two thousand losses themselves.

After all, the defending Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had the advantage.

Only the two major empires on the continent and the Spirit Hall could launch such a massive attack.

Thirdly, sects can develop in seclusion, just like the Haotian Sect, which produced several more Title Douluo after ending its period of seclusion.

Although Haotian Sect's seclusion is somewhat selfish and unethical for affiliated sects, it is definitely beneficial for the sect's direct disciples.

Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School won't take that long either.

This is just the method Ning Xingchen has come up with so far, mainly because he is still too weak.

They were so weak that they couldn't change the situation with force; otherwise, why would they have thought of using such a method?

Ning Xingchen thought that Sword Douluo's suggestion was the best possible outcome.

In the original novel, Sword Douluo's father challenged Qian Daoliu when he was at level 97, and ultimately died and his Dao dissipated.

Since he is a peak Douluo, he must be at least level 96 now.

But now, inside the main hall, Sword Douluo's expression was not very good.

Bone Douluo asked, "What? Is there a problem?"

Sword Douluo said, "My father went into seclusion three years ago. He said he would never leave until he reached level ninety-seven."

"Uncle Jian, can you persuade him to come out of seclusion?" Ning Dingling asked, as the hope she had finally brought seemed to be about to be dashed again.

Sword Douluo said, "If I were to go and ask, I would only have a 10% chance of success."

"Only 10%? You might as well not have said anything," Bone Douluo teased.

“However, if I take Xingchen with me, the chances of success might be over 50%,” Sword Douluo said. This was because he had factored in Ning Xingchen’s success rate when he came up with this plan.

"Why bring Xingchen?" Ning Dingling asked, puzzled.

Sword Douluo said, "Xingchen's swordsmanship talent is rare in the world. Perhaps it can persuade him to come out of seclusion. Moreover, Xingchen may also inspire his swordsmanship."

"Is Little Star really that powerful?" Bone Douluo asked in surprise!

Over the past few months, he had witnessed Ning Xingchen and Sword Douluo sparring, but he could only get a general idea of ​​some of their interactions.

Sword Douluo nodded and said, "In terms of sword talent, Xingchen far surpasses me at the same time. Even now, I am inferior to him in some aspects."

After saying that, Sword Douluo looked at Ning Dingling and said, "I know you don't want Xingchen to be involved in sect affairs right now. If you disagree, then forget it. With Bone Douluo and me to help you, this hurdle of the sect is not insurmountable."

“I…” Ning Dingling hesitated.

Ning Fengzhi said, "Sister, it's just that Xingchen is accompanying Uncle Jian to invite Grandpa Jian. Just think of it as a trip."

However, Ning Dingling had a different idea. She knew that once Ning Xingchen got involved, he wouldn't be able to cultivate so leisurely anymore.

"No, Xingchen is just right, he..."

Before Ning Dingling could finish speaking, a loud rumble came from the entrance of the main hall. The door was pushed open by the guards, and Ning Xingchen walked in from outside.

“Sister, I’m willing to go with Uncle Jian to invite Grandpa Jian,” Ning Xingchen said.

He calls Sword Douluo "Uncle Sword," so his father must be Grandpa Sword.

“Xingchen, you… why are you here?” Ning Dingling asked.

Ning Xingchen said, "I'm here to help my sister solve the problem."

"Sister, please let me participate in the sect's affairs. I am willing to contribute to the sect and share your burdens."

His serious demeanor made it hard to refuse.

Ning Dingling strode over to Ning Xingchen's side and said, "Xingchen, thank you."

He hugged Ning Xingchen tightly. She had taken over the sect at the age of fifteen, and over the years she had been under pressure that her peers should not have to bear.

If it weren't for that belief in my heart that kept me going, I probably would have collapsed long ago.

"Since Xingchen is willing, I agree to let you participate."

"Your sister will go with you."

"Uncle Jian, when are we leaving?" Ning Xingchen asked directly.

"We'll set off tomorrow morning!" Sword Douluo said.

"Old bones, our trip will take at least half a month, and possibly two or three months. During this time, the sect will be counting on you," said Sword Douluo.

Bone Douluo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen with me here."

Afterwards, Ning Dingling began to explain the sect's future affairs to Ning Fengzhi. Now that Ning Fengzhi could handle things on his own, she could leave with peace of mind.

After Ning Dingling finished explaining everything, Ning Xingchen continued, "Sister, should we sneak away tonight?"

"Why tonight?" Ning Dingling asked, puzzled.

"Sister, I just heard you say that the sect's team was attacked four times this month, and no one survived. One time could be a coincidence, but what about the two, three, and four times? Did they already know the sect's route of action or even the level of the team's Soul Masters?" Ning Xingchen asked, feigning doubt.

Ning Xingchen decided to remind Ning Dingling that it seemed they hadn't yet considered the possibility of a traitor appearing within the sect.

It's easy to imagine how much they trusted the disciples of the sect.

Ning Xingchen's reminder made the four of them realize their mistake.

Being attacked four times in one month is indeed too much of a coincidence, especially since the team that received the message was extremely secretive, and only a very few people within the sect knew about it.

The four men exchanged glances, then said in unison, "Is there a mole?"

"Little brother, you are indeed clever. None of us expected this." Ning Fengzhi patted Ning Xingchen on the shoulder happily.

In the world of Douluo, traitors within sects are quite common, and the known traitors within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have yet to fully emerge.

For example, does the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex sect also have traitors, and one of them is a direct disciple with a high status?

It's perfectly normal for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to have a traitor within it.

"Feng Zhi, you have one more task after we leave: find the traitor," Ning Dingling ordered.

“Yes, sister. I will definitely find this traitor before you return,” Ning Fengzhi said.

"Big brother, keep it up, I believe in you," Ning Xingchen said. Ning Fengzhi was indeed quite capable; as long as he put his mind to something, it wouldn't be difficult for him to accomplish it.

"Xingchen, let's go back and prepare. We'll set off in an hour," Ning Dingling said, glancing at Sword Douluo.

Sword Douluo nodded, agreeing with Ning Dingling's words.

Chapter 13 Sword Douluo Tells Stories

In the early hours of the night, a streak of light streaked across the sky.

Above this stream of light, Sword Douluo stood, with Ning Xingchen and Ning Dingling standing behind him.

We set off at night without notifying anyone.

Apart from Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, no one knew where they went.

Even Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi didn't know exactly where it was.

Sword Douluo's father was named Chen Jianjun. Sword Douluo did not tell anyone about his secluded cultivation location; only he knew.

After flying on his sword for about half an hour, Sword Douluo landed on a relatively flat mountaintop.

“We can rest here until we set off early tomorrow morning,” Sword Douluo suggested.

"it is good!"

Ning Dingling took out two tents from her soul tool as soon as she came down.

"Xingchen and I will use one, Uncle Jian, you can use this one."

Sword Douluo glanced at it and said, "I don't need to. I'll keep watch tonight. Although there aren't any powerful soul beasts in this place, there are still ordinary wild animals."

Ning Dingling smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Jian."

While setting up the tent, Sword Douluo also lit a small fire nearby.

Ning Xingchen, on the other hand, has nothing to do now, and Ning Dingling won't let him help her again.

So Ning Xingchen went to Sword Douluo's side again.

"Uncle Jian, tell me about Grandpa Jian's story. And your title is Jian, so what about Grandpa Jian?" Ning Xingchen asked curiously.

Ning Xingchen didn't know much about Sword Douluo's father in his previous life, but fortunately, his father is still alive now, so it's not taboo to mention it.

In addition, Ning Xingchen wanted to learn more about the matter. If possible, wouldn't it be wonderful to bring Sword Douluo's father to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Sword Douluo said, "My father's title is Seven Kills, so he can be called Seven Kills Douluo. Before him, the title of Sword Douluo was held by my grandfather."

Thinking of this, Sword Douluo couldn't help but recall the events of that year.

Seeing this, Ning Xingchen asked, "Uncle Jian, could you tell me their story?"

At six years old, Ning Xingchen was still a child, and sometimes he didn't need to hold back when he spoke.

Ning Dingling, who was not far away, spoke up: "Xingchen, why are you asking so many questions? Let your Uncle Jian rest for a while. I'll take turns guarding him for an hour."

Ning Xingchen smiled and said, "Sister, I just wanted to hear a story."

"I'll keep watch tonight, Ding Ling. You and Xingchen should get some rest. Xingchen wants to hear a story, so I'll tell him one," Sword Douluo said.

At first, he liked Ning Xingchen because of his affection for her, but later he genuinely liked and admired her.

Especially in swordsmanship, the more I look at Ning Xingchen, the more pleasing he becomes.

"Let me start by talking about my grandfather. His title was Sword. Decades ago, the title of Sword Douluo was given to him. The fact that I can be titled Sword means that he is no longer in this world."
