One of the Soul Masters from Spirit Hall said sadly.
"We lost, we lost. Lone Wolf Douluo actually died so quickly."
Another Soul Master sighed.
"Only two rounds, how could he have been defeated so quickly!"
The third Soul Master said.
"How about we surrender!"
The Soul Masters of Spirit Hall looked at each other. Although they were very reluctant, their lives were important after all. They reluctantly raised their hands and said.
"We surrender."
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up at this scene. This was good. With the Soul Masters of Spirit Hall surrendering, the public opinion created would be enormous.
And it would greatly boost the self-confidence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Masters.
He was very happy to see such a situation.
Ning Rongrong, who was beside him, said excitedly.
"Brother Zhuge, this is too good! We actually took down this fortress so easily, and even killed a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Starcloud Douluo suddenly shouted.
"That guy isn't dead yet."
A deep starlight instantly swept across an open space. Below the open space, there was a slowly moving shadow, like a human.
Zhuge Lan's expression changed instantly. This shadow in front of him should be the escaping Lone Wolf Douluo.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. After all, how could a Titled Douluo die in just a few moves when facing an attack! He realized that what he saw just now was an illusion.
He couldn't let this guy escape. After all, he had set up such a big scheme just to kill a Soul Master from Spirit Hall.
He looked up at the sky.
"Sword Douluo, act."
Sword Douluo nodded and said calmly.
"Alright."
He picked up his light sword and slashed at the shadow under the starlight.
"No?!"
Accompanied by Lone Wolf Douluo's unwilling scream, he died under the moonlight.
The Soul Masters behind him immediately cheered loudly.
"Sword Douluo, Sword Douluo, Sword Douluo."
"Too amazing, Sword Douluo."
"Sword Douluo, you are my idol."
Zhuge Lan looked at Sword Douluo with some envy. He remembered that in the Speed Clan, he had gained a lot of Emotions Points by relying on this skill. It seemed that during battles, he also needed to participate himself.
Otherwise, how could he make the Soul Masters admire him!
It seemed that in the next battle, if he could go himself, he would.
Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo descended from the sky and came to Zhuge Lan's side. Dugu Bo said with a smile.
"It was so satisfying, it's just that this kind of battle is really not durable. We won before we even fought a few moves."
Zhuge Lan smiled. Defeating weak enemies with absolute strength would indeed be over quickly. However, he almost let the opponent's Titled Douluo escape just now. This needed attention; he couldn't let it happen again next time.
However, he still had to encourage Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, you've worked hard."
Dugu Bo smiled.
"Not hard, not hard at all."
Zhuge Lan nodded, then looked at the surrendered Spirit Hall disciples in the distance. He turned to Ning Rongrong and said.
"Rongrong, you lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples to imprison these Spirit Hall disciples."
Ning Rongrong's face showed a hint of doubt, and she asked, puzzled.
"Brother Zhuge, don't we need to take them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Zhuge Lan shook his head. Currently, the higher-ups of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall were still in an alliance. Under such circumstances, bringing them back rashly would only have one consequence: these Spirit Hall disciples would be directly released.
His most important task now was to declare his stance, to make Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect officially go to war, so that he could then help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect deal with Spirit Hall.
If both Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect attacked him, he would face a situation of being attacked from both sides.
In that case, it would be better to first win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
So he said.
"No need, just put them in the prison of the Fifth Fortress. If there isn't one, we'll build a prison."
Ning Rongrong nodded, but a hint of doubt appeared on her face.
"Why do we need to do this?"
Zhuge Lan explained.
"Before, I thought that as long as one Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall was killed, then Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would inevitably fall out, as Spirit Hall would have lost a Titled Douluo. But now I realize there's another possibility: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might fear Spirit Hall retaliating and then shift all the blame onto me."
Dugu Bo, who was beside him, frowned and said.
"There is indeed such a possibility. After all, you, kid, have killed several Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, not just this one. Spirit Hall also particularly wants to kill you. Although they will act against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can help, Spirit Hall wouldn't mind postponing the matters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Rongrong nodded.
"Alright, then I'll go do it."
After speaking, Ning Rongrong led the Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to imprison the Spirit Hall Soul Masters.
Zhuge Lan then said to the people around him.
"We should also enter the fortress. This matter needs to brew for a bit."
…
Fortress Number Three.
Among the five fortresses, this one was the largest, corresponding to the main gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Therefore, this fortress also had the highest configuration and was also the residence of the highest-ranking officer, Chrysanthemum Douluo.
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo was in a room, letting out a long breath, a look of joy on his face.
Things were almost proceeding according to their plan: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and they had allied, Ning Rongrong was also in their hands, and next was to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Zhuge Lan fight, with Spirit Hall reaping the benefits.
Thinking of this, he almost laughed out loud.
Suddenly, a chaotic noise came from outside. A hint of anger appeared on his face. Logically, he was preparing to rest at this time, having just returned from Qian Renxue's place.
He didn't expect someone to be causing trouble, so he walked out.
He saw a group of guards blocking three people. A hint of doubt appeared on his face, and he asked, puzzled.
"You three, what are you doing? Breaking in in the middle of the night? Do you want to die?"
These three were precisely the three who had escaped from Zhuge Lan's team. One of them said anxiously.
"This is bad! The Fifth Fortress has been attacked by Zhuge Lan."
Another person said.
"Yes, not only Zhuge Lan, but also Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, and an unknown Titled Douluo."
The third person said.
"And Ning Rongrong. The Fifth Fortress is already about to be destroyed."
Chrysanthemum Douluo stood frozen in place. After a long while, he still hadn't reacted. Zhuge Lan was only attacking the Fifth Fortress, and he had to go rescue it. But then they mentioned Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, and an unknown Titled Douluo.
Then he didn't dare to go, after all, he, a single Titled Douluo, couldn't defeat four Titled Douluo.
But weren't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall allied? Why would Sword Douluo help Zhuge Lan? This seemed a bit off.
