Given Ning Fengzhi's cautious nature, he shouldn't have exposed these things before reaching level 100.
But the recent intelligence he received forced him to act!
The Spirit Hall is preparing to attack the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect once again!
The Clear Sky Sect was almost completely annihilated without much resistance. Now that the Spirit Hall has regrouped, it was expected by Ning Fengzhi and others that they would target the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect again.
After absorbing the complete set of spirit bones provided by Di Tian, Ning Fengzhi's spirit power level reached level 98.
The gap between level 98 and level 99 is indeed vast. Even after absorbing so many spirit bones, he still couldn't overcome this barrier.
Of course, although he didn't break through to level 99, Ning Fengzhi made significant progress on the path to level 98.
This was also related to the spirit bones provided by Di Tian. As part of his and the other fierce beasts' collection, the quality of these spirit bones was naturally extraordinary, especially since it was a complete set.
These spirit bones were all from the same type of spirit beast!
Although their ages were different, they shared the same origin. By the time Ning Fengzhi absorbed the fifth spirit bone, they had already fused together, showing the potential to form a divine armor.
When all six spirit bones were in place, Ning Fengzhi finally understood just how terrifying spirit bones of the same origin could be!
Even before undergoing the divine inheritance, the spirit bones had already automatically formed a set of armor, the embryonic form of what is known as divine armor.
The immense boost in power made Ning Fengzhi feel somewhat unaccustomed...
In the original timeline, Tang San also had a similar experience, but his spirit bones were not of the same origin.
If it weren't for the Eight Spider Lances acting as a mediator and the Sea God's assistance in transforming them, the Sea God's divine armor would never have appeared.
Only the Angel God's divine armor is the most standard and perfect.
Uniform in age, produced by the same spirit beast, and of the same origin.
Such divine armor doesn't need any modification to unleash its full power and provide the greatest boost.
The scene shifted back to the densely packed disciples, their expressions filled with awe, and their eyes showing even more loyalty.
This was a divine inheritor, a future god-level powerhouse!
Following such a figure was an incredible opportunity for them.
Joining the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before Ning Fengzhi became a god was undoubtedly the wisest decision they could have made.
In the future, it would be extremely difficult for others to join the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
With so many disciples recruited in such a short time, it was inevitable that there would be spies from other forces. Even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't avoid this situation.
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, these spies fell into deep thought.
Should they continue to be spies who could be disposed of at any moment, or should they truly become disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
At this moment, they were caught in a dilemma.
When the crowd finally stopped discussing, Ning Fengzhi continued, "The last time the Spirit Hall attacked our sect, we were not fully prepared, and many of our disciples suffered heavy casualties."
"While grieving, the sect has also made preparations for revenge."
"Unexpectedly, the Spirit Hall has once again set its sights on us..."
Ning Fengzhi retracted his spirit and aura, his expression unchanged as he spoke. Although he was deeply pained and sorrowful, as the sect leader, he couldn't break down in tears, could he?
Alone, it wouldn't matter, but with so many disciples watching, if the sect leader showed weakness, how could he lead them?
He couldn't cry, nor could he show any trace of sadness.
"Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong!"
Ning Fengzhi clenched his fists, silently cursing in his heart.
If thoughts could kill, the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong would have died countless times.
"Will we allow the Spirit Hall to destroy us?"
After setting the stage, Ning Fengzhi began to rally morale, his aura once again reaching its peak.
"No!"
Whether sincere or not, the crowd shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens.
"Rest assured, as long as I, Ning Fengzhi, live, your families and descendants will be under the protection of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This is my solemn vow."
"Let us unite and fight against, even destroy, the Spirit Hall!"
"Let us restore peace and justice to the Douluo Continent!"
Ning Fengzhi's words were firm and powerful, showing the depth of his determination.
After all, he was a divine inheritor, and his lifespan was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
As long as he lived, he would have to take care of these people's families and descendants. This showed just how resolute Ning Fengzhi was in making such a vow.
Upon hearing this, even the spies were moved, silently making their decision.
Even after suffering a sect-destroying battle, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundation remained unshaken.
With wealth that rivaled nations, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had the capital to make such promises.
As the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect prepared for war, the Spirit Hall was also making its own preparations. One thing Ning Fengzhi didn't mention was that the Spirit Hall was indeed planning to attack the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect again.
Moreover, the number of top-tier combatants mobilized this time was more than double that of the previous attack!
The number of low-level spirit masters far exceeded ten thousand.
Having the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gather its forces was also part of the Spirit Hall's plan.
After all, those who could still be recruited by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after the Spirit Hall's attack were either enemies of the Spirit Hall or spies from other major forces...
Dealing with them one by one would be too slow and inefficient. It was better to let the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gather them all and eliminate them together.
The Spirit Hall certainly had the strength to do so.
After the mobilization at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect concluded, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong arrived at the meeting hall, where they were surprised to find an old acquaintance.
The news of the Spirit Hall's impending attack on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was first brought by this old friend.
"Sect Leader Tang Xiao, thank you for the warning this time."
Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands in gratitude, speaking with utmost sincerity.
Indeed, the visitor was Tang Xiao.
After the fall of the Clear Sky Sect, he had intended to gather the former four subsidiary families to rebuild the glory of the past.
But when he went to find them, the four families had already left, having joined the Star Luo Empire.
Since they had already pledged allegiance to the Star Luo Empire, no matter how unhappy Tang Xiao was, there was nothing he could do. He didn't even get to meet the family heads.
Left with no choice, Tang Xiao could only hide with a few children, causing trouble for the Spirit Hall from the shadows.
It was through this that Tang Xiao first discovered the Spirit Hall's plans.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Although it was somewhat embarrassing, Tang Xiao still came to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to deliver the warning.
"Sect Leader Ning, you're too kind. Everyone knows the Clear Sky Sect has fallen, alas~"
"Damn that Spirit Hall!"
"With Sect Leader Tang Xiao here, the Clear Sky Sect is not truly gone. You will surely rebuild its former glory."
Although Ning Fengzhi's words were somewhat insincere, Tang Xiao couldn't help but enjoy hearing them.
