"No, it's a Spirit Beast of two to three hundred thousand years, and also the king of this Star Dou Great Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python," Zhuge Lan said heavily.
"What? A Spirit Beast, and a 300,000-year-old Spirit Beast?" Sword Douluo said in shock. Although he had never seen such a Spirit Beast, he had heard of it.
This kind of Spirit Beast should have no animosity with his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Why would it attack Sect Master Ning?
"That's not right! Zhuge Lan, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and this Spirit Beast have no conflict!"
Zhuge Lan sighed and said helplessly, "I don't know either, but that's the fact."
"Zhuge Lan is telling the truth," Poison Douluo said firmly.
Then he explained, "I was attacked this time by a powerful Spirit Beast. At the time, I was busy escaping and didn't look closely. Now that I think about it, it should have been the Sky Azure Bull Python."
The three of them naturally knew how formidable the Sky Azure Bull Python was.
At this moment, Poison Douluo said, "Zhuge Lan, Sword Douluo, our current situation is very critical. We have the threat of Spirit Hall in front and the threat of a 300,000-year Spirit Beast behind. Why don't we retreat now?"
"We can't retreat yet. There are so many Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples here. If we leave, these disciples will basically face certain death," Sword Douluo said, displeased.
Zhuge Lan nodded. The current situation was critical, but there was also a turning point.
He had many life-saving abilities. No matter how great the danger, escaping from difficulties was not a problem. Plus, his wife Bai Chenxiang was coming, so before she arrived, he definitely had to clear up the crisis here.
If he couldn't protect his woman, how useless would he be?
"Poison Douluo, Sword Douluo, two seniors, don't be so pessimistic. I believe we still have the strength to deal with the current situation, and my strength is obvious to all. Don't worry."
Poison Douluo and Sword Douluo exchanged glances, and some of the worry in their eyes disappeared. Poison Douluo was anxious because his own strength had dropped a level, falling to Soul Douluo.
Sword Douluo was unable to open up the situation, and he was a combat type, not particularly outstanding in strategy and management.
But both of them knew Zhuge Lan's achievements, and having fought alongside him, they naturally understood his strength.
So, Sword Douluo asked, "Zhuge Lan, then tell me, what should we do next?"
Zhuge Lan pondered for a while and said, "This time, I will lead the charge and begin to retake the strongholds previously occupied by Spirit Hall. If there's an opportunity, I will try my best to kill Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo."
After he finished speaking, Sword Douluo fell into contemplation, a hint of worry on his face.
"But in that case, the remaining three strongholds will be undefended. With the ability of the Soul Masters here, they won't be able to withstand an attack from even one Spirit Hall Soul Douluo."
"Then let's not bother with the strongholds. Let's take everyone and attack together. We previously attacked the stronghold Spirit Hall set up at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's mountain gate. We can break them one by one. Once their Titled Douluo are killed, these strongholds will be gone," Zhuge Lan said.
This was a well-thought-out plan he had considered for a long time. There would be no reinforcements if they simply held out and waited. It would be better to take the initiative to attack, especially since there were 100,000-Year Soul Beasts or higher eyeing them in the Star Dou Great Forest.
So, if they didn't hold these strongholds, they wouldn't be attacked by the Spirit Beasts.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!" Poison Douluo burst out laughing.
Then he continued, "This is a good method. If we are with Zhuge Lan, we won't have to worry about being defeated one by one by Spirit Hall. As for the threat of the Sky Azure Bull Python, it will also be minimized. Most importantly, we won't have to face enemies from both sides."
Sword Douluo's eyes lit up. He had also thought about whether to attack together before, but he didn't dare to do so because he was worried about losing the strongholds.
Now that he thought about it, even if they defended, it would be difficult to hold on. It would be better to fight, and perhaps they could find a glimmer of hope. Plus, he also acknowledged Zhuge Lan's strength.
"Good, we'll do as you say."
After the three of them discussed the plan, Sword Douluo began to arrange the personnel.
The Soul Masters from the other two strongholds began to evacuate, as everyone felt that they couldn't resist Spirit Hall's attack, and fighting a trapped beast battle like this would only lead to death sooner or later.
With this thought, almost no Soul Masters were reluctant, directly abandoning the two strongholds.
When everyone gathered, there were over a hundred people here, which seemed somewhat imposing, but the number of low-level Soul Masters was too high. Besides Zhuge Lan and the other two, there wasn't even a single Soul Douluo among these Soul Masters.
However, Zhuge Lan needed these people to provide him with Emotions Points.
It was very necessary to give a speech to win over people's hearts before the battle.
"I am Zhuge Lan. I believe everyone knows my name. I have killed more than ten Titled Douluo, most of whom were from Spirit Hall."
As soon as his voice fell, "That's great! It really is Zhuge Lan! I've long heard of Zhuge Lan's renown. Even Spirit Hall's Soul Masters tremble when they hear Zhuge Lan's name."
"That's truly wonderful. With Lord Zhuge Lan leading us out of the Star Dou Great Forest, I'm sure the people from Spirit Hall won't dare to intercept us."
"That's just too good! These past few months, I've been somewhat terrified by the harassment from Spirit Hall's disciples. Zhuge Lan couldn't have come at a better time."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Soul Masters below began to whisper.
Zhuge Lan naturally listened, as he also needed to know what the people below were thinking so he could proceed with his next speech.
"This time, I will lead everyone to completely destroy Spirit Hall's strongholds here. The suffering you endured and the blood you shed before, I will avenge for you."
The original cheers vanished, and the surroundings immediately became quiet. Some disciples even showed expressions of terror.
Clearly, these low-level Soul Masters had already developed a shadow over Spirit Hall.
At this moment, several disciples even asked, "Lord Zhuge Lan, we low-level disciples, very few of us even reach Soul Sage. Wouldn't fighting against Spirit Hall's Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo be seeking death?"
"That's right! We won't seek this revenge. Please just take us away."
"We are people who are good at doing business. Fighting and killing are not suitable for us."
Hearing these questions, Zhuge Lan's expression changed. This group of cowards, no wonder the strongholds that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect entrusted them to manage were lost so quickly. It turned out they were all afraid of death.
It was truly bad luck to have these people following him. And he had to expend great effort to save this group. To be honest, he even wanted to abandon them now.
"Noisy! Do you have a say here?"
A strong, cold, and sharp sword intent spread out from Sword Douluo, suppressing the disciples so that they dared not speak. As for the reason, Sword Douluo could not stand it anymore.
