Xuan Shui Sect, main hall.
On the precious jade floor tiles, a patch of broken porcelain shards stood out starkly.
Click—
Another teacup was slammed to the ground.
Xuan Yi's chest heaved violently, and his eyes were bloodshot.
What a humiliation!
What a disgrace!
He, the dignified sect master of the Xuan Shui Sect and a level 93 Title Douluo with the title Xuan Ming, was so humiliated by Liu Li Tian in front of the entire world!
What is Ningliu anyway?
"Someone come here!"
Xuan Yi said in a cold voice.
"By my order, all elders, come to the main hall immediately for a meeting!"
The urgent tolling of the bell quickly echoed throughout the Xuan Shui Sect, breaking the tranquility of the mountain gate.
Before long, figures arrived one after another, filing into the main hall.
The leader, with white hair and beard but an exceptionally robust physique, was none other than Xuan Lin, the Grand Elder of the Xuan Shui Sect, also a Title Douluo, known as the "Water Demon."
He glanced at the mess on the ground, then at Xuan Yi, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.
"metropolitan."
Elder Xuanlin spoke.
"What has caused you such anger?"
The other elders exchanged uneasy glances, not daring to say a word.
Xuan Yi slowly turned around, his rage subsided, replaced by a chilling coldness.
He certainly wouldn't mention the humiliation he suffered because of his failed bid.
That would be so embarrassing.
"Get angry?"
Xuan Yi forced a stiff smile.
"No, Elder, I am not angry, I am... excited!"
"excited?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Elder Xuan Lin's eyes.
Xuan Yi changed the subject.
"Gentlemen, do you know how wealthy that new power, Liuli Heaven, is now?"
He held up one finger.
"Take that Soul Power Amplification Pill, for example. It can allow Soul Masters below the Soul King level to advance one level without any bottleneck, yet they put it up for auction so casually!"
What does this mean?
"This shows that this kind of pill is not a rare item at all in their country!"
A thin elder with a goatee lit up his eyes and chimed in.
"What the sect leader means is..."
"Liuli Heaven is like a huge gold mine that has just been mined and has not yet been discovered!"
Xuan Yi's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"How much wealth did they take with them when they split off from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? All sorts of spiritual herbs and rare metals?!"
"If we seize this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and loot their treasure trove..."
Before he could finish speaking, the breathing of all the elders present became heavy.
Greed is the best catalyst.
"But Sect Master."
Another, more cautious elder spoke up, with some reservations.
"After all, the relationship between Liuli Heaven and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is unclear, and there's also the prohibition from the Spirit Hall. If we make a move and our identities are exposed, my sect might..."
"Exposure?"
The goatee elder chuckled, his face full of smugness.
"Third Elder is overthinking it."
"When have we ever left any loose ends in our actions?"
As he spoke, he looked at Sect Master Xuan Yi.
"Don't forget, the sect leader possesses a treasure brought to this continent by our ancestors: the Illusion Mirror."
"When this mirror is activated, it is enough to change the aura of our martial souls and our appearance. Even if a titled Douluo were to stand in front of us, he would not be able to see through our true identities!"
"Why have the sect's resources been so abundant in recent years?"
The goatee elder looked at Xuan Yi with a hint of flattery in his tone.
"It's all thanks to the sect leader's foresight and strategic planning that we were able to 'acquire' so many 'offerings' without anyone noticing!"
"Elder Wang is right!"
The other elders immediately echoed their sentiments, showering them with flattery.
"These mainland natives are completely clueless about how to use soul tools!"
"With the Distortion Mirror in hand, we are virtually invincible!"
"The sect leader is wise!"
Grand Elder Xuan Lin remained silent throughout the crowd's fervor until this moment, when he finally spoke again.
"Sect Master, since this is the case..."
"Then I will personally lead the team on this trip."
"You are in charge of the sect and oversee the overall situation."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi gave him a cold glance.
"No need."
He paused, and finally no longer concealed the resentment in his eyes.
"I will go this time myself."
After speaking, Xuan Yi ignored everyone and strode out of the hall.
"Gather all the Xuanming Guards within the sect. They will depart with me in a quarter of an hour!"
"Target: Liuli Heaven!"
"Remember, this mission must be swift and ruthless!"
Watching Xuan Yi's figure disappear outside the palace gate, the elders exchanged glances, all seeing excitement and bloodlust in each other's eyes.
"Farewell to the sect leader!"
Elder Goatee was the first to shout loudly.
"Wishing the Sect Master a triumphant return, laden with spoils!"
Inside the main hall, only Elder Xuanlin remained.
He gazed in the direction Xuan Yi had left, a fleeting trace of worry in his eyes.
...
Soto City, a branch of the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong leaned back on her throne, meditating and cultivating.
Suddenly, a ghostly black shadow silently disappeared into the shadows of the hall.
"His Holiness the Pope."
Ghost Douluo's figure slowly emerged from the shadows, kneeling on one knee.
Bibi Dong opened her eyes.
"What brings Elder Ghost here so suddenly?"
"Your Holiness, according to intelligence reported by the spies from the Spirit Hall's 'Shadow' Division planted in Liuli Heaven..."
