Fortress Number Four.
Two Titled Douluo radiated powerful spirit power, and the immense pressure made the Spirit Hall Soul Masters inside the fortress hide, not daring to come out.
The two Titled Douluo were none other than Poison Douluo and Sword Douluo.
Zhuge Lan watched silently. He guessed that if no Titled Douluo appeared, they could take down Fortress Number Four in just ten minutes.
After a while, a Soul Douluo emerged from inside the fortress.
This Soul Douluo was a middle-aged male Soul Master. Looking at the two Titled Douluo above him, he immediately spoke.
"Two Titled Douluo sirs, this is a fortress built by Spirit Hall. Please consider the consequences before attacking."
Poison Douluo did not speak, but looked at Zhuge Lan and said,
"Zhuge Lan, what should we do?"
A hint of a smile appeared on Zhuge Lan's lips. They were already at death's door, yet they still thought of threatening him. Weren't they thinking too much?
Then he directly said,
"Please, two seniors, proceed with the attack."
Poison Douluo and Sword Douluo nodded.
Then, a gigantic light sword and a massive poisonous snake directly rushed into the fortress, beginning widespread destruction.
The Soul Masters inside didn't even have time to surrender, dying directly under the light sword and poisonous snake.
Ten minutes later, Fortress Number Four was destroyed. Zhuge Lan led his group to the pass. Ahead was a flat road, and behind them was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong's face showed joy, and she excitedly said,
"Big Brother Zhuge, this is great! Spirit Hall's siege of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has failed. The remaining three fortresses are no longer enough to resist our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Masters."
Zhuge Lan smiled. How could he just let go of the remaining three fortresses? In his mind, he wanted to take down all three remaining fortresses.
He wanted to ensure the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could pass through the mountain's passage unhindered. He didn't believe that with such a great Merit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would still consider him an enemy.
Under these circumstances, he said with a smile,
"Rongrong, this is just the beginning. Next, I will take down all three remaining fortresses. Just you wait and see!"
A strange light flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes, and then she said,
"That's wonderful, Zhuge."
Zhuge Lan gathered his team and immediately rushed to Fortress Number Three.
Fortress Number Three was the largest of the five fortresses, and also its main den, corresponding to the main gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
There must be a Titled Douluo here. From the knowledge he had acquired, he knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo was guarding this place.
At this moment, he stepped forward and said,
"Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, I'm counting on you."
Poison Douluo nodded. At this moment, Sword Douluo suddenly struggled, and a moment later, a cold glint spread directly from Sword Douluo's body, startling everyone around.
Zhuge Lan's heart sank. Something bad had happened, because Sword Douluo had broken free from the confinement and had regained his consciousness.
He clearly felt a void in the space inside the Divine Pet Ball, indicating that another Titled Douluo could be imprisoned there.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to imprison Sword Douluo, because Sword Douluo was his friend. Besides, he had already used him, letting Sword Douluo work for free for two and a half days! It wasn't three days, but it was already good enough.
Sword Douluo frowned, and asked in confusion,
"Where am I? I remember going to kill Zhuge Lan. What happened?"
He scanned his surroundings and immediately saw Zhuge Lan, and also Ning Rongrong. Then he immediately went to Ning Rongrong's side and asked with concern,
"Rongrong, why are you here? What happened?"
Ning Rongrong excitedly said,
"Sword Douluo Uncle, you're amazing! We've already taken down two of Spirit Hall's fortresses, and now we're preparing to attack the third."
Zhuge Lan frowned slightly. This situation was a bit awkward. According to his previous plan, he was going to take down all five fortresses, and Sword Douluo would awaken at the right time.
Now that Sword Douluo had awakened early, the problem might be that he had stimulated Sword Douluo on the first day, even though he had promptly put him into the Divine Pet Ball.
However, the effects were still evident.
That was the early awakening.
Now, he certainly wouldn't use the Divine Pet Ball on Sword Douluo again, but rather try to persuade him to join their team.
So he began to persuade him.
"Senior Sword Douluo, Spirit Hall is insidious and cunning. They deceived the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and even tried to kidnap Rongrong. With such a Spirit Hall, we shouldn't make any agreements with you. Join our team!"
Ning Rongrong chimed in from the side, saying,
"Yes, Sword Douluo Uncle, Ghost Douluo of Spirit Hall wanted to capture me. If I hadn't run away early, who knows where I'd be now!"
Sword Douluo's expression became somewhat grim. After a long period of thought, he said helplessly,
"Zhuge Lan, I will not kill you for now, but I will not join your team either."
Zhuge Lan's face showed confusion, and he asked,
"Why?"
Sword Douluo snorted coldly.
"This period of my unconsciousness, it must have been your doing! Rongrong has a good relationship with you, so it's normal for her to help you lie. Afterward, I will slowly observe this team to see if it's as you say, but I will not make a move."
Zhuge Lan felt a little disappointed. After all, with one less Titled Douluo helping, the overall strength would be reduced.
However, including himself, there were still three Titled Douluo in the team. Under these circumstances, it should be enough to deal with the upcoming events.
As for taking down the fortress, that would require the help of Starcloud Douluo, who was standing idly by.
He slowly walked in front of Starcloud Douluo and said,
"Starcloud Douluo, next, I'll trouble you and Poison Douluo to attack Fortress Number Three together."
Starcloud Douluo pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright, but if we're outmatched, I won't risk my life."
Zhuge Lan nodded. Among the Titled Douluo, Starcloud Douluo's strength was not strong, and in this kind of battle, victory was almost a certainty.
Starcloud Douluo's greatest role was to boost morale and add prestige.
The real fighting still depended on Poison Douluo and himself.
So he said to Starcloud Douluo,
"Don't worry, if a formidable enemy appears, I will act. Don't worry!"
Starcloud Douluo nodded and flew up directly. A surge of spirit power spread out, and then a gigantic Martial Soul True Body appeared behind him.
It was a sea of stars, and then he stared coldly at Fortress Number Three.
On Fortress Number Three, a large number of golden petals appeared. Amidst the petals, an enchanting man slowly emerged.
It was Chrysanthemum Douluo. Chrysanthemum Douluo saw Zhuge Lan, Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, and Starcloud Douluo, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Then he said coldly,
"Hmph, bullying the many with the few, who can't do that! If you have the guts, challenge me to a one-on-one fight."
