Chapter 460 Sudden Change, Spirit Hall Attacks.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the gates of Seven Treasure City.
Night shrouded the earth, but tonight was exceptionally lively.
Although the howling wind blew and dark clouds obscured the starlight and moonlight, making the earth appear even darker, the fireworks constantly being launched from within Seven Treasure City brought a glimmer of light.
The noisy cheers were also endless.
But at this moment, outside Seven Treasure City, two disciples on patrol were chatting idly as they patrolled. However, it was clear from their faces that the two were not very interested.
"Damn it, what bad luck... Today was supposed to be the young lady's engagement, such a wonderful day, the patrols would be less frequent, and we could finally have a good time. Damn it, why is it my turn today?"
"Keep your voice down, stop complaining." Another patrolling disciple rolled his eyes at his complaint and said, "If the steward hears us, we'll all be punished."
"Sigh! We're just too unlucky."
The complaining disciple glanced at the sky and muttered, "Looking at the weather, it looks like it's going to rain."
"Then why are you still nagging?"
The other patrolling disciple said. "Let's finish this patrol quickly, then we'll go back."
"Yeah, maybe we can still have some time to relax."
These two disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School walked along the patrol route they had walked countless times, appearing somewhat carefree. Although their faces showed some fatigue and nonchalance, they still chatted.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as one of the top three sects among the seven great sects of the Soul Master world, was a behemoth on the entire continent.
With the Clear Sky Sect having remained secluded for many years, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become, in effect, the leading sect besides the Spirit Hall.
It is also the wealthiest spirit master sect, holding an extremely high position in the spirit master world. Even the Spirit Hall cannot shake its position.
Besides, the sect is filled with experts, including the world's number one support-type Soul Master and two Title Douluos with Soul Power exceeding level 95. Moreover, on this particular day, including the elders, there are no fewer than five Title Douluos present.
Therefore, almost everyone in the sect felt that no one would dare to provoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, making the patrols more lax than usual.
However, just then, the complaining disciple involuntarily shivered and said to the patrolling disciple on his right, "Xiao Yi, I feel a little cold?"
"Are you mistaken? You're not sick, are you?"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple named Xiao Yi widened his eyes and replied casually.
He had spent extra time cultivating during the day, and sleepiness was now creeping into his brain.
"I shouldn't be sick right now," the patrolling disciple on the left shook his head. "I feel like someone is watching me with ill intentions. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive."
At this moment, the patrolling disciple suddenly looked around.
"Oh, wait here for me, I'm going to relieve myself now."
With that, she walked towards the bushes not far away.
"Go ahead, go ahead, hurry back."
Xiao Yi waved her hand dismissively, then stood there somewhat bored, waiting for her companion.
Suddenly, as Xiao Yi was getting bored and about to close her eyes for a nap, she caught a faint glimmer of light. Immediately afterward, her ears twitched, and she heard an extremely faint and strange sound.
As patrol disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, their individual strength wasn't particularly high. However, every disciple chosen for patrolling possessed a certain ability suited for patrolling and reconnaissance.
For example, this patrol disciple's ability was his martial soul; like Flander, it was a cat-owl. However, unlike Flander, his martial soul cultivation focused on reconnaissance.
This gave Xiao Yi hearing abilities far beyond what ordinary people could achieve, allowing her to hear many subtle sounds that were otherwise inaudible.
Just now, with a slight twitch of his ears, he heard a soft thud. With years of experience, he could clearly distinguish it as the sound of a person falling. He dared not be careless and immediately strained his hearing to its limit.
"How could this be? Could someone be attacking on this day?!" Realizing something was wrong, he immediately focused his attention and grabbed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's alarm signal.
The next second, a series of rustling sounds entered Xiao Yi's ears. Although the sounds were faint, they surged like a tidal wave from all directions.
"Not good!!! Enemy—attack—" A near-shrill roar, though not very clear in the night.
The next moment, a chilling coldness seeped into his back, pierced his chest, and punctured every internal organ.
At the last moment, he fired the alarm signal in his hand. However, it was not very conspicuous in Seven Treasure City.
As Xiao Yi collapsed limply to the ground, a flash of red light suddenly erupted in the dark night sky. In the instant the red light appeared, thousands of figures materialized on the dark ground.
An aged voice asked, "What's going on?"
"Elder, that might be a signal from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Should we…?" A man in black looked up at the red light that had vanished amidst the exploding fireworks.
"Heh, don't worry."
The aged voice gazed at the fireworks filling the sky. "It's currently the engagement of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's young sect leader. The city is bustling with noise, making it difficult to spot. We can use this opportunity to swiftly destroy Seven Treasure City."
"Yes!"
"Men, pass down the order: a full-scale attack…"
With the aged voice's command, countless black figures surged forth like a tide, heading straight for Seven Treasure City. Their ultimate target was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle.
Within ten breaths, the lively clamor gradually faded, replaced by shouts of battle…
Meanwhile, inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School castle.
"Hehe, everyone, drink to your hearts' content."
Ning Fengzhi was drinking with the guests, accompanied by the two Title Douluos, Sword Bone and others. Suddenly, Chen Xin, standing behind him, seemed to notice something. Looking at the red light obscured by fireworks in the sky, his expression changed.
"Fengzhi, look!"
Meanwhile, Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong were drinking and chatting with the Shrek Academy members. But just then…
"Mo boy, stop drinking!"
The Fire Dragon King's voice rang in Xuan Mo's mind, startling him.
"Uncle Fire, what's wrong?"
"Many Soul Masters are already coming! If you drink any more, you'll lose your life!"
