Chapter 343: The Coming Storm
After a brief exchange with Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianlin began examining Yun Xi's corpse.
A Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast was guaranteed to drop a Spirit Bone. Yu Yuanzhen had not examined it earlier because Yu Tianlin had been absorbing Yun Xi's Spirit Ring at the time, and he did not want to disturb the corpse in case anything unexpected happened.
Now that Yu Tianlin had finished absorbing the Spirit Ring, it was naturally time to collect the Spirit Bone. After a quick inspection, they found a Spirit Bone inside Yun Xi's massive skull.
A hundred thousand year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon skull bone was obtained.
By the way, it was not only the Spirit Bone. Yu Yuanzhen also collected all of Yun Xi's blood.
After all, Yun Xi was a True Dragon, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan needed true dragon blood to temper the Divine Artifact, the Dragon Slaying Saber, and unleash its powerful energy.
Over the years, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had continuously used the Dragon Slaying Saber, causing the Clan's reserves of true dragon blood to keep decreasing. Now, with Yun Xi's blood replenishing their stock, the Clan's reserves of true dragon blood had been greatly increased.
After everything was finished, Yu Tianlin returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with Yu Yuanzhen and gained a general understanding of what had happened during this period.
First, he naturally asked about Yu Mingfeng's group, who had set out at the same time as them.
Logically speaking, Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen's group, who had gone to Thunder Gorge, were closer to the Clan, and their target was clear: take down Yun Xi. Under these circumstances, they should have returned first.
However, the situation was the exact opposite.
Yu Mingfeng's group, who had gone to the more distant Star Dou Great Forest and needed to search for suitable targets on the spot, had actually returned first. Not only had Ye Lingling obtained a suitable sixth Spirit Ring and become a support-type Spirit Emperor, but Yu Mingfeng had also successfully obtained his ninth Spirit Ring and advanced to Titled Douluo.
The reason was the time spent absorbing the Spirit Rings.
Yu Tianlin, with his cultivation at Level 70, had absorbed a hundred thousand year Spirit Ring beyond his level. Although he could endure it, converting the Spirit Ring's energy was relatively slow and took a full three days and three nights.
Yu Mingfeng's group was different. They absorbed Spirit Rings that they could just barely withstand at their current stages, so the absorption process generally did not take more than a day. They had only spent more time searching for suitable targets, which was why they had returned first.
Now, including Yu Mingfeng, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan already had five Titled Douluo. Although only Yu Yuanzhen had cultivation above Level 95, the overall situation was already quite impressive.
Although they still could not compare to Spirit Hall, crushing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would not be a problem.
After confirming the situation of Yu Mingfeng's group, Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen noticed that the atmosphere within the Clan seemed somewhat off.
Although the entire Clan had been on high alert ever since Yu Tianlin informed them that Spirit Hall would launch the Spirit Hunting Operation, it had not reached such a tense state before.
They had merely left to obtain Spirit Rings and had only been gone for seven or eight days. How could such a sudden change have occurred? Could Spirit Hall be about to attack?
With these doubts in mind, Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen quickly found the two Grand Elders who had stayed behind to understand the specific situation.
As expected, there was indeed a problem with Spirit Hall.
According to the intelligence, although Spirit Hall itself seemed normal and showed no unusual movements, the Four Lower Clans had begun large-scale personnel deployments.
This was a huge problem.
Who did not know that the Four Lower Clans were Spirit Hall's loyal lackeys? All four clans had moved personnel during the same period. No one would believe this was a coincidence. It could only be Spirit Hall's command.
As for the intelligence stating that Spirit Hall itself was operating normally, that could only be a cover-up. Although Spirit Hall had concealed its own actions very well and revealed no flaws, the Four Lower Clans had inevitably exposed some signs.
Normally, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would not pay too much attention to the movements of the Four Lower Clans, so this would not have been a problem. But after learning that Spirit Hall would launch the Spirit Hunting Operation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had become extremely vigilant and kept a close watch on the Four Lower Clans.
Now, judging from the movements of the Four Lower Clans, they could naturally analyze Spirit Hall's intentions.
"So Spirit Hall really is going to launch this so-called Spirit Hunting Operation?"
After learning this from the two Elders, Yu Yuanzhen was silent for a moment before sneering.
"I didn't expect even the Four Lower Clans to get involved."
"Come then. If you want to come, all of you come. But once you arrive, none of you will be going back!"
It was also time to show the continent the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen had already made his decision. This time, whoever came would die.
As the Clan Master, Yu Yuanzhen's return and the impending Spirit Hunting Operation naturally kept him busy. He did everything he could to consolidate the Clan's strength and prepare for what was coming.
As for Yu Tianlin, there was nothing for him to do, so he simply returned to cultivate, striving to make further progress before the Spirit Hunting Operation erupted and break through to Level 75.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had already sensed that the Spirit Hunting Operation was imminent, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan naturally had similar premonitions.
If not for Yu Tianlin's reminder, it would have been normal for Ning Fengzhi to remain in the dark. But with Yu Tianlin's previous warning, Ning Fengzhi, already on guard, could naturally detect Spirit Hall's abnormalities.
"It's coming."
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's deliberation hall, Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat, his expression solemn.
"Most of the personnel from the Four Lower Clans have mysteriously disappeared. They have already been gathered by Spirit Hall, preparing to attack us and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong's expression was grim.
"Spirit Hall really wants to destroy us?"
Although he had already anticipated this situation before, Bone Douluo still found it difficult to believe now that it was truly about to happen.
Was that woman Bibi Dong insane?
"Fengzhi, should we make the first move?"
Sword Douluo, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them. A flash of killing intent passed through his gaze.
"First, wipe out Salas and his people in Heaven Dou City, then take out the nearby Elephant Armored Academy. That way, even if Spirit Hall wants to attack us, their strength will be greatly weakened."
Ning Fengzhi considered the suggestion for a moment, but in the end, he shook his head and refused.
"No, Uncle Jian."
"More than a year ago, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan killed Yue Guan, so most of Spirit Hall's attention should be focused on them. If we cause trouble now, it will inevitably draw Spirit Hall's attention to us instead. That would be disadvantageous."
