Chapter 345: Exposure, Forced Attack
Night fell.
Tonight, thick clouds covered the light of the stars and moon. Outside the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, everything was pitch-black and eerily silent.
Finally, an extremely faint rustling sound barely broke the strange stillness.
A black-clad scout concealed his aura and carefully investigated the area around the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory. After that, he quickly ran back.
In the direction he returned, countless other black-clad figures waited like a surging tide.
The scout ignored the companions around him, bypassing them and continuing forward until he arrived before five Elders.
These five Elders were the Titled Douluo dispatched by Spirit Hall. They were:
Demon Subduing Douluo, with the Coiling Dragon Rod Martial Soul, Rank 96.
Ghost Douluo, with the Gui Mei Martial Soul, Rank 95.
Sea Turtle Douluo, with the Sea Turtle Martial Soul, Rank 94.
Devil Bear Douluo, with the Blood Fiend Magic Bear Martial Soul, Rank 93.
Ghost Leopard Douluo, with the Black-Striped Ghost Leopard Martial Soul, Rank 93.
For this Spirit Hunting Operation against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Spirit Hall had actually dispatched five Titled Douluo, including Demon Subduing Douluo, whose cultivation exceeded Rank 95 and who was already listed as a Consecrator.
Logically speaking, Demon Subduing Douluo belonged to Qian Daoliu's faction and was not under Bibi Dong's command. However, the Spirit Hunting Operation had been approved by the entire Elder Council and was Spirit Hall's top priority. Failure was not allowed. Therefore, to prevent any accidents, Demon Subduing Douluo ultimately accepted Bibi Dong's invitation and personally came to oversee the operation.
Seeing these five Titled Douluo, the scout immediately knelt on one knee and reported, "Reporting to the five Elders, after a detailed investigation, there are no sentries stationed outside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Upon hearing this, all five Titled Douluo showed surprise.
What was going on?
They had originally thought the sentries alone would be a little troublesome. After all, they no longer had internal support within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so they would have needed to send powerful assassins to silently eliminate every sentry.
Who would have thought that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had not arranged any sentries at all?
Because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan already knew Spirit Hall would soon launch the Spirit Hunting Operation, they naturally did not need to specially arrange sentries outside. Would that not simply be offering people up for Spirit Hall to kill?
The scout continued reporting, "Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has not arranged any sentries outside the Clan, a large number of people have gathered at the mountain gate, and their defenses are tight."
The five Titled Douluo frowned.
Ghost Leopard Douluo was the first to speak. "How could this be? With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan reacting like this, could our Spirit Hunting Operation have been leaked in advance?"
"Now is not the time to dwell on that," Devil Bear Douluo said in a deep voice. "Even if it was leaked, so what? With so many of us dispatched, are we supposed to retreat just because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is on guard? We should simply launch a direct assault."
Devil Bear Douluo's words made sense.
Even if they could retreat, what about the group heading toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?
This was a simultaneous operation. They could not allow the other team to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan tonight while their own team failed to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The arrow was already on the string. It had to be fired.
Moreover, they had dispatched five Titled Douluo this time, and the number of Spirit Masters under them was even greater. Even if they had to attack by force, they would definitely be able to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After Ghost Leopard Douluo and Devil Bear Douluo finished speaking, they and Sea Turtle Douluo turned their gazes toward Demon Subduing Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
In this operation to annihilate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Demon Subduing Douluo had the highest cultivation. However, Ghost Douluo represented Bibi Dong and was the specific person in charge. Therefore, the final decision still depended on the two of them.
Demon Subduing Douluo said nothing, while Ghost Douluo directly stated, "Then we launch a direct assault. No matter how guarded the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is, they are ultimately in the open while we are in the dark. We still have the right to strike first."
"Did the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gather a large number of people at their mountain gate? Then later, we will concentrate our forces and launch a combined attack on the mountain gate, severely wounding them before they can react."
Ghost Douluo's arrangement was quite good, causing Sea Turtle Douluo and the others to nod at the same time.
However, just as they were leading their subordinates forward in silence, preparing to get close enough to deliver a heavy blow to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, an unfamiliar mental force suddenly swept out from the direction of the mountain gate.
This was completely unexpected. Aside from Demon Subduing Douluo, the expressions of the other four Titled Douluo changed drastically.
The mental force that suddenly swept over them was definitely at the Titled Douluo level. The five of them might not have been detected, but their many subordinates, whose strength was relatively lower, had definitely been discovered.
They had been exposed.
This thought flashed through the minds of Spirit Hall's five Titled Douluo at the same time.
Immediately afterward, a streak of fire shot into the sky from the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's mountain gate and exploded into brilliant fireworks.
As the fireworks bloomed, after a brief moment of calm, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suddenly erupted into noise. Clearly, everyone had been alarmed.
"Attack! Launch a forced assault!"
Since they had already been exposed, there was no other choice. Although displeased, Ghost Douluo quickly gave the order.
Immediately, countless black-clad figures appeared, surging like a tide toward the mountain gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's side.
Although no sentries had been arranged outside the Clan, this did not mean the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had lowered its vigilance.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan currently had five Titled Douluo. Aside from Yu Yuanzhen, who was the Clan Master, the other four were divided into two groups, taking turns keeping night watch. They would periodically use their mental force to investigate the situation outside the Clan and guard against unexpected events.
Tonight happened to be the turn of Yu Luomian and Yu Mingfeng's group.
Just now, Yu Mingfeng had investigated outward according to schedule. Unexpectedly, he sensed the presence of a large number of Spirit Masters.
Yu Mingfeng instantly understood the situation. Spirit Hall had launched the Spirit Hunting Operation, and these were all Spirit Hall Spirit Masters who had come to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Thus, Yu Mingfeng did not even have time to notify Yu Luomian, who was keeping watch with him, and directly released the signal flare at his waist.
The moment the alarm signal appeared, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lit up, and everyone sprang into action.
"Something happened?"
Yu Luomian, who was nearby, was the fastest to react. He flashed to Yu Mingfeng's side, asked this question, and extended his own mental force at the same time.
Yu Mingfeng nodded with a solemn expression. "It's Spirit Hall, and they brought quite a lot of people!"
As Yu Mingfeng spoke, a large number of masked black-clad figures appeared before their eyes.
These black-clad figures said nothing. The moment they appeared, they directly launched an attack on the mountain gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
