Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 394: "Mediation"

Because they knew the strength of the Thousand Rocks Set and feared Zhongli's martial prowess, no one dared to mess with the "Thousand Rocks Army".

But today, the disciples of the Body Sect actually removed their equipment and came here empty-handed. There must be some reason why they did this.

"Gentlemen, please cease your attack."

Du Bafang's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the venue.

He has now broken through to level 96. In his Martial Soul Possession state, his entire body is light gold, indicating that he has completed the second awakening of his Gold-level body.

If things had followed the original trajectory, Du Bafang would most likely have already removed the "Dai" from "Dai Sect Master" and become the true Sect Master of the Body Sect.

Unfortunately, Zhongli was betrayed by a certain adorable creature, and his plans had to be rescheduled. He could not and would not relinquish his duties and divine position before the "storm" ended.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh elders exchanged glances. Although their eyes were filled with murderous intent, they nodded.

"withdraw!"

Whether they were from the Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, after hearing the two shouts of retreat, they instinctively stopped their attack and returned to their own camps. During this process, everyone was extremely cautious, fearing that the other side might suddenly attack and kill them.

This battle appears to have resulted in losses on both sides, with a casualty ratio of one to one, making it a disgrace to the Spirit Hall.

But did the Spirit Hall really lose?

The strength of the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters varies greatly, with most having low Spirit Power.

Even the worst disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are still considered elite. The death of even one of them would cause some heartache, let alone so many.

Eight thousand against three thousand, a one-to-one casualty ratio, yet the Spirit Hall ultimately won the battle because they didn't care about such a casualty ratio.

They've already won by trading one for one.

Or perhaps the Spirit Hall had already considered this outcome before they arrived.

With the arrival of the Body Sect, a temporary truce is not out of the question. They are also eager to know what the Body Sect's purpose is in coming here.

Seeing this, Du Bafang nodded. Both sides could stop and listen to him speak, which would save some of their energy.

"We are not here to help anyone. Our purpose is very pure and simple: to mediate the fight."

Everyone was stunned, their expressions a mix of bewilderment, confusion, and incomprehension.

Why did the Body Sect come with such a large force, just to mediate the fight?

But they've already fought like this, how can you possibly stop them?

"The Spirit Hall launched a sneak attack on my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and killed my disciples..."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School killed my Spirit Hall disciples..."

Ning Fengzhi and the five elders subconsciously said that they were not prepared to let it go like that.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi wasn't stupid. He knew that if the battle continued like this, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would ultimately be destroyed.

If they can't win, they can only run away first and then look for an opportunity. Anyway, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is rich and can quickly gather thousands of soul masters to get revenge.

Besides, Ning Fengzhi has the opportunity to become a god. Once he becomes a god, he will definitely seek revenge on the Spirit Hall!

The Five Elders knew that Ning Fengzhi had a chance to become a god, which is why they did not intend to let go of any of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples, let alone let Ning Fengzhi leave.

If Ning Fengzhi were to run away now, he would definitely become a major threat to the Spirit Hall.

Before the two could finish speaking, Du Bafang waved his hand, interrupting them.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his aura exploded forth, overwhelming the entire area.

The elders of the Body Sect were not idle either; they also unleashed their own auras, cooperating with Poison Eight Directions.

"If you don't stop and heed our advice, whoever lays a hand on you will be attacked!"

Du Bafang said with an air of dominance, his words brooking no argument.

This is the last "sect mission" given by the "Sect Master of the Body Sect," and he will definitely complete it even if it comes at a terrible cost.

At this moment, everyone's eyes twitched. What a domineering statement, "Whoever makes the first move gets hit." Only a sect like the Body Sect could utter such arrogant words.

But if the Body Sect does this, wouldn't it be equivalent to offending the Spirit Hall?

As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, knowing that they would not receive any real help from the Body Sect, they would naturally comply with this arrangement. They did not want to be attacked by both the Body Sect and the Spirit Hall.

Although the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School felt somewhat uncomfortable, they knew that there was no need to continue fighting in the current situation.

As for why that God of War made such a decision, they couldn't guess, nor did they want to.

That being said, doing so actually helped the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School out of its predicament.

"Sect Leader Du, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to stop."

Ning Fengzhi felt grief and indignation, yet he had no choice but to make this decision.

That being had already helped him upgrade from Seven Treasures to Nine Treasures, and had even granted him divine inheritance. What more could he possibly want?

The Body Sect no longer owes the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect anything.

The fact that they're willing to step in and mediate is already a last act of kindness.

The Five Elders and the others naturally understood why Ning Fengzhi would agree, but what should they do next?

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been saved, but their mission has failed—this is a major event.

Du Bafang nodded to Ning Fengzhi. Once upon a time, this sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whom he had to look up to, was now speaking to him in such a manner.

It's so unpredictable.

As if he had thought of something, Du Bafang looked at the Five Elders and the others and said, "The Spirit Hall's intentions are no secret to the Sect Master. Therefore, the Body Sect is responding to this intention as a way of repaying the kindness we received. After tonight, the Body Sect will cease to exist in this world."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into an eerie silence; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It should be noted that the Body Sect is now considered the uncrowned king, the undisputed number one sect in the world!

In fact, because of responding to... no, it should be said that it was for "repaying a debt of gratitude," the name of the Body Sect was dissipated into the world.

Will the Body Sect cease to exist in the world?

Everyone present, except for the disciples of the Body Sect, was stunned, their mouths slightly open, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

The elders and patrons of the Spirit Hall, in particular, were dumbfounded.

If they still don't understand after Du Bafang has explained it so clearly, then they are truly stupid.

Sects are one of the most unstable factors on the Douluo Continent, therefore, all sect forces must be eliminated.

The three honorees and the three elders were aware of this.

There were originally four elders, but one of them was ambushed by Chen Xin and died.

Eliminating forces other than the Body Sect would not be difficult for the Spirit Hall, but doing so would ultimately lead to a confrontation with the Body Sect.

Can we win?

It's sealed shut!

To repay the Spirit Hall's kindness, after tonight, there will be no more Body Sect...

What a magnanimous spirit!

This battle was tantamount to the Spirit Hall defeating an opponent they thought impossible without shedding a drop of blood, while allowing an opponent they should have defeated to survive.
