Dugu Bo frowned slightly, puzzled.
"Kid, wasn't our previous plan to cut the Gordian knot, kill the Titled Douluo of the Fifth Fortress, and take it down?"
Bai He, the Clan Head, nodded and said,
"Yes! This is the safest way, and it's better not to cause any extra trouble."
Zhuge Lan shook his head. Since there were so many Titled Douluo, how many Titled Douluo could these five fortresses add up to? This was a battle of abundance, and if it was a battle of abundance, why be so cautious?
Furthermore, he also hoped that through a hearty and victorious battle, the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would realize that Spirit Hall could be defeated.
After all, Spirit Hall had ruled this World for too long, and older members of the Sect still harbored a certain fear of Spirit Hall.
He wanted to use this to break that fear.
So he analyzed,
"We have three Titled Douluo, plus I also possess the means of a Titled Douluo, making it four Titled Douluo. How many Titled Douluo does Spirit Hall have in the fortress below? We can completely defeat them; why do we need to launch a sneak attack?"
Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment, then asked doubtfully,
"Will this really work? I'm not very sure."
Dugu Bo spread his hands and said with a smile,
"Indeed, we have more people than them, so a sneak attack would be unreasonable. A frontal assault is fine too; we can still achieve a quick victory."
Bai He, the Clan Head, nodded helplessly.
Zhuge Lan nodded, then began to make arrangements.
"In the upcoming battle, Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo will be the main attackers, Starcloud Douluo will clear the battlefield, and I will be responsible for defending against other Titled Douluo's sneak attacks. Rongrong, you and the Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect just need to cheer from the side."
Sword Douluo nodded mechanically.
"Alright."
Dugu Bo shrugged his shoulders.
"No problem. Anyway, I'm terrifyingly strong now, so it's a good chance to test how powerful I am after advancing."
Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile,
"That's great! I was just afraid that these low-level Soul Masters would die, which would have a big impact on public opinion."
Starcloud Douluo nodded indifferently.
"I'm fine with anything."
Bai He, the Clan Head, sighed.
"Is it because my strength is low that I'm not being assigned a task?"
Zhuge Lan quickly shook his head. There were simply too many people, to the point where he didn't know how to arrange the excess. However, boosting morale was also essential.
One couldn't belittle others just because their strength was inferior. After all, a Soul Douluo was still very powerful.
It was just that on this kind of battlefield, their effectiveness was much smaller.
He comforted him, saying,
"Clan Head Bai He, you just need to check if there are any traitors from the Speed Clan among the Soul Masters in Spirit Hall. After all, I also promised you to find the Speed Clan light seal. If we can find the Speed Clan light seal, wouldn't that also be a great joy?"
Bai He, the Clan Head's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly,
"Alright, I like this arrangement."
With the personnel arranged, it was time to depart.
Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo walked in front, followed by Bai He, the Clan Head, and Starcloud Douluo, then Zhuge Lan and Ning Rongrong, and finally the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
They arrived in front of the mountain-protecting array. Opposite them was the Fifth Fortress, which looked very sturdy.
At this moment, the Soul Master at the very back said,
"Sir, do we need to open the mountain-protecting array?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhuge Lan, worried, and said,
"I'm worried about one thing: once the mountain-protecting array is opened, will Spirit Hall's Soul Masters come in through that opening?"
Zhuge Lan smiled and shook his head.
"Even without this opening, Spirit Hall's Soul Masters would still come in. After all, Spirit Hall's Ghost Douluo previously entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect without disturbing the mountain-protecting array."
Ning Rongrong sighed and said,
"So you mean we have to open the mountain-protecting array."
Zhuge Lan said,
"We cannot open it."
Ning Rongrong's face showed confusion, and she immediately asked,
"Why?"
Zhuge Lan explained,
"It's like this: once the mountain-protecting array is opened, the other disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will all know, and they will definitely report it. Then, when Sect Master Ning finds out, he will come to stop us, and whether the battle can still happen will be another matter."
Ning Rongrong's face showed understanding.
"So that's how it is. Then how do we get out?"
Zhuge Lan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, then said to Dugu Bo,
"Senior Dugu, just open a door on the barrier of the mountain-protecting array."
Dugu Bo nodded and said,
"No problem."
Then, Dugu Bo took out a brand new piece of paper-cutting, cut out the shape of a door, and then pasted the paper-cutting onto the barrier. A moment later, a large door appeared before them.
And the surrounding mountain-protecting array was not affected in any way.
The Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were startled. After all, they dared to play freely precisely because this mountain-protecting array would not be breached by Spirit Hall.
But to open the mountain-protecting array so easily, and without any alarms from the array, that was truly terrifying.
If they were to eat, drink, and play, then lie in their rooms sleeping soundly,
a few Spirit Hall Soul Masters could come up and kill them all without needing any powerful methods.
So, they also calmed down now.
The team all walked out through this opening. Not far outside was a pass, which was now completely blocked by the Fifth Fortress built by Spirit Hall.
The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not pass through here.
Zhuge Lan looked at the Fifth Fortress before him. After today, it might no longer exist. However, there was still a small matter that needed to be completed, so he said to the Soul Master behind him,
"Which brother will take down the paper-cutting?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile,
"I'll go get it."
Ning Rongrong ran to the very back, took the paper-cutting down from the outside, after which the mountain-protecting array healed. She brought it to the front and said with a smile,
"Brother Zhuge, can you give me this paper-cutting?"
Zhuge Lan smiled, bought five new paper-cuttings from the system store, and handed them to Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, we are the best of friends, how could I let you use an old paper-cutting!"
Ning Rongrong happily put them away and said with a smile,
"Thank you."
As the group advanced, two or three Soul Masters stealthily slipped out of the team and, under the cover of night, hid in the tall grass.
Clearly, the identities of these three were somewhat special.
One of them whispered,
"This is bad. The Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect actually made a move against our Spirit Hall."
Another snorted coldly,
"Mere Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, how dare they act so presumptuously."
The third person said helplessly,
"This time, the other side has dispatched too many Titled Douluo. Lone Wolf Douluo, the lord of the Fifth Fortress, might not be able to hold on. We need to go report."
The three looked at each other and nodded.
Clearly, the three had made up their minds to go and report.
