After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the shoulder of Bone Douluo.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were filled with fear. Originally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had hoped to rely on the Heaven Dou Empire to gradually rise. Now that both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had been destroyed, what future could there possibly be for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?
Bone Douluo struggled for a long time before finally speaking, "Fengzhi, what should we do now? At this rate, there might not be a place in this world for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to survive."
Ning Fengzhi forced himself to stand. "Heaven never seals off all paths. We'll go to Heavenly Academy. That might be our last hope."
"But Fengzhi, under the current circumstances, Heavenly Academy might not dare to offend the Spirit Empire to take us in. Moreover, Heavenly Academy has always remained neutral and never involved itself in the affairs of sects. Even if we go, they might not support us."
A glimmer of light appeared in Ning Fengzhi's previously dull eyes. "Now is not the time to consider such things. Although Heavenly Academy has always been neutral, with the Spirit Empire's current aggression, Bibi Dong might not allow Heavenly Academy to remain standing."
"Yang Wudi and Niu Gao are straightforward and loyal people. They also owe us a favor from the past and won't just stand by and do nothing."
"Moreover, Yang Podi from Heavenly Academy is incredibly talented, with a bright future ahead. At the very least, he should be able to shelter us. If nothing else works, we'll join Heavenly Academy. At the very least, we can ensure the continuation of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo reluctantly nodded after hearing this. At this point, it seemed to be their only path to survival. Otherwise, the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would be inevitable.
Ning Fengzhi, still forcing himself to remain upright, led Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and the remaining members to Heavenly Academy.
When Yang Wudi and the others heard that Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo had arrived together, especially in such a battered state, with only a few dozen disciples left, it was clear they were nothing but a defeated group.
Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Yang Zhentian, Dugu Bo, and Feng Xuan personally came out to meet Ning Fengzhi and his group.
Ning Rongrong threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's arms, her face covered in tears as she sobbed uncontrollably.
Yang Wudi, seeing their desolate state, couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master Ning, what happened? Why has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan fallen into such a dire situation?"
Ning Fengzhi's face was bitter as he replied, "Dean Yang, you jest. Two days ago, Spirit Empire's Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo led five other Titled Douluo to attack our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. We were almost entirely wiped out. What you see here is all that remains of us."
Yang Wudi's face was filled with disbelief. "How is that possible? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Clear Sky Clan, and Heaven Dou Empire are only a few dozen kilometers apart, forming a triangular support system. You could have reinforced each other within half an hour. How could such a thing happen?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "It's shameful to admit, but this time the Spirit Empire launched simultaneous attacks on all three of us. The Clear Sky Clan's battle is probably even bloodier, and the Heaven Dou Empire also faced attacks from multiple Titled Douluo. I fear their situation is also grim. We only managed to escape because Uncle Sword fought desperately to create an opening. Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would have ceased to exist."
Yang Wudi, hearing this, angrily cursed, "What is the Spirit Empire trying to do? Acting without any bottom line! And to think they call themselves the sacred ground of the soul master world!"
The faces of those around them darkened. From the current situation, it seemed no force could stop the Spirit Empire from unifying the world.
Ning Fengzhi continued, "Dean Yang, may I ask if Yang Podi is currently in Heavenly Academy?"
Yang Wudi shook his head. "Podi has already gone out to train. I don't know when he'll return."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened. Heavenly Academy's strongest individual right now was Yang Podi. If Yang Podi wasn't here, the others might not dare to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
At this point, Niu Gao spoke up, "Sect Master Ning, there's no need to worry too much. Even though Podi isn't here, the Spirit Empire wouldn't dare act recklessly against Heavenly Academy. Considering the ties between our two groups, you can stay at Heavenly Academy for now to recover."
"If the Spirit Empire truly dares to come, we old folks won't back down."
Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly. "Thank you, Dean Niu. But with Yang Podi not here, I'm afraid we'll bring disaster to your academy."
Ning Fengzhi understood Niu Gao's words. Back then, the Breaking Clan and Defense Clan indeed owed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan a favor. Sheltering them this time was just a way to repay that debt. However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's current predicament couldn't be solved by short-term protection. In the end, they would likely face destruction.
After a long pause, Ning Fengzhi's face took on a determined look. "Dean Yang, Dean Niu, I would like to propose that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan joins Heavenly Academy. Is that possible?"
Everyone was stunned, exchanging surprised glances. Ning Fengzhi's words were completely unexpected.
Yang Wudi thought for a long time before speaking, "Sect Master Ning, you must be joking. Heavenly Academy has always remained neutral regarding the struggles of sects. Allowing you to stay here to recover is already an exception. If you truly wish to join Heavenly Academy, we'd need to wait until Podi returns to decide."
Yang Wudi's words reflected the group's general attitude. Heavenly Academy had always been semi-reclusive. Taking in Ning Fengzhi and his group could bring endless trouble, possibly even dragging the academy into the abyss.
Moreover, Heavenly Academy had always been strict about admitting outsiders. They couldn't allow a small, independent sect to form within the academy. Considering the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's current state, they might also obsess over seeking revenge against the Spirit Empire, which could create division within the academy.
Ning Fengzhi understood their concerns and spoke resolutely. "Dean Yang, rest assured. If we join Heavenly Academy, we will naturally abide by its rules and refrain from participating in external conflicts. If any conditions need to be met, please feel free to state them."
Yang Wudi sighed. "Sect Master Ning, there's no need to rush. For now, settle down here. We'll discuss other matters later."
Ning Fengzhi and the others realized Heavenly Academy's stance and could only nod in agreement. Ultimately, the final decision would have to wait until Yang Podi's return.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, hearing that her father and the others would be staying at Heavenly Academy, quickly left the reception room. Shortly after, she returned with Ye Lingling.
"Big Sister Lingling, please help my father and grandfathers heal. Their injuries are severe and could affect their future cultivation."
Ye Lingling nodded lightly, raising her hand as green light enveloped Ning Fengzhi and the others.
In just moments, the injuries on Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo began to heal at an astonishing rate. The effectiveness of her treatment was almost frightening.
Sword Douluo, being a Rank 97 Titled Douluo, keenly sensed the changes in his body and couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible? A Titled Douluo-level healing soul master?"
