Chapter 116 - Seven Treasure Clan's crisis: Treason

Spirit Hall power is supposed to be focused on the title douluos elders, led by the Supreme Pontiff. However, the truth was that the true power behind Spirit Hall was the hidden priest elders. They were 7 people, all of them at least at rank 96. Should all the seven priest elders agree, they could even depose the Supreme Pontiff. They were the true power that decided the fate of Spirit Hall.

The old man was the second elder priest of Spirit Hall, only receiving direct orders from Qian Daoliu, the supreme priest. He was considered one of the strongest people in the continent, his strength only losing to living legends at the ultimate douluo rank, rank 99. He was Jin Eyu, rank 98 power attack system, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"For even I to need to make a move, you really grow too much" Eyu said, a purple ring shining and golden scales shot from Eyu's body, there were more than a hundred of them and surrounded Chen Xin. Once they surrounded him, the scales were shot towards him.

Chen Xin controlled his sword around him, creating a sphere made of wind around him. Before the scales crashed, one of Eyu's black rings shined and the scales became sharper and triplicate their thickness. The new reinforced scales penetrated through Chen Xin's wind sphere.

At that moment a black hole appeared over Chen Xin. From it, an extremely beautiful pink-haired woman crossed out. She had a red greatsword on her hands "<Sword Heart: Fire Dance>" She swung her sword, raging flames emerged from her sword, they took the form of a snake. The flames started moving, quickly surrounded her and Chen Xin, forming a fire tornado around them. The most spectacular was that this snake seemed to be alive, coaling around them, focusing on the incoming scales, wasting the minimum energy, reflecting all the golden scales.

This beautiful woman that appeared to be around 30 years when she was already over 55 was the wife of the Seven Treasure Clan master, Ning Xiangxie. She lifted her sword pointing at Eyu, nine rings surrounded her, 1 yellow, 2 purples, 5 blacks, and 1 red. The power of a rank 97 douluo being emitted by her.

From the same black hole that Xiangxie appeared, two more people crossed out. This time they were two men, a seemingly late 30 wearing a white suit and a black-robed old man with a face that seemed a skull. They were the actual clan master and one elder of the Seven Treasure Clan respectively. Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, Gu Rong.

"It seems that we are being looked down, to only send one person to fight against us" Bone said.

"Don't be impudent!" Eyu shouted angrily "You pitiful ones, so full of yourself only having touched the moon. I will show you how big is the abysm between our strength. Experiment a destroying the moon power" Eyu's rings started shining "<Spirit Avatar: Golden Crocodile>!" Eyu roared, his body increasing in size. His muscles bulging, his arm grew becoming 10 meters long, crashing to the ground, destroying it. It wasn't much time until all his body followed "GRRRRRRRR!" standing at its place a giant Golden Cocodrile roared. He was over 50 meters tall, standing over two feet, with golden scales covering all his body, a 9 meters long tail, with a 3 meter long claws. He see

"Numbers won't be enough to face me" One of Eyu's ring shined "Graaaaaa!" he roared shooting a golden energy blast, this time incomparable at last time, more than twice more powerful.

"The abysm between rank 97 and rank 98 is indeed deep, however, let's reduce it" Over Fengzhi's right hand a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared surrounded by 9 rings, 2 yellows, 2 purple, 4 blacks and a red one. The rings shined "<Spirit Avatar: Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda>" the pagoda started growing, encompassing Fengzhi in it, becoming three meters tall pagoda.

Nine different colors shot from the pagoda towards Xin and Xiangxue, increasing their attributes. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was considered the best support spirit in all the continent, this was due to its own support potency, being able to increase the attributes more than similar spirits. Being possible to support any kind of spirit. Moreover, it could cross rank power that made it possible to be useful support even at titled douluo with their limit of spirit sage. This considering the difficulty of support type to grow to titled douluo

Titled douluos have the biggest gaps between each rank, in each one increasing more than a 50% the spirit power, that it's especially true for super douluos, more than rank 97, were each rank it's a glimpse of godhood. Even the full support of a Seven Treasure Pagoda won't be near enough to close the gap. However, this completely changes with the Nine Treasure Pagoda, with a higher rate of support and even the spirit power of a titled douluo, making the cross rank possible.

On this day, it was the first time that it was showed to the world, without doubt, the strongest support of the continent, Ning Fengzhi, the Nine-Treasure Douluo.

With their new empower, Xin and Xiangxie combined defense dissipated Eyu's attack without much difficulty.

Eyu's face didn't change, a black ring shined and he slammed his tail to the ground, the ground rose to form golden spikes that were shot towards the Seven Treasure Clan quartet. Like before, Xin and Xiangxie positioned themselves to guard the attack, lifting their swords that were surrounded by their own sword qi, creating a shield made by flames powered by wind. Rong was preparing one portal for a counter-attack.

Just before the earth pieces clashed, a seven-colored light flew across the sky, seemingly like a rainbow. This light was followed by multiple similar ones, all of them raining to Eyu. Looking at its source, it was a group of white-robed people on their hand Seven Treasure Pagodas. They could have been confused as members of the Seven Treasure Clan, but, the badges that they carried were different ones. Their badges had the seven pagoda image, however, it has the symbol of an angel at it back, the symbol representing Spirit Hall.

At the receiving end of the light, Eyu's power grew stronger, his attack strengthening. Xin and Xiangxie were taken by surprised by the sudden growth in power, the spikes combined in a single one and pierced through their formation. As they positioned prepared to received the attack, they saw the attack pass between them, its objective always being Fengzhi.

Before the attack hit, Gu Rong jumped forward, situating in front of Fengzhi. Without time to act, Rong was unable to put full defense, the little black scales surrounded him not enough to stop the attack that impaled him, piercing his stomach creating a 15 cm hole in him, to be able to stop it. Rong turned to Fengzhi and smiled, he then vomited blood and fell to the ground, unable to continue floating "Elder Bone" shouted Fengzhi shocked seeing one of his companions and friend shot down protecting him.

"Tch!" Eyu clicked his tongue "I failed, but at least I took out a fly" He turned to the white-dressed group "Even if it can't be compared to the Nine, I must say that the Seven Treasure Pagoda is great support, good job"

The one at the front of the group, seemingly to be their leader bowed to Eyu "It is our honor to be able to help you, second elder priest"

Fengzhi looked at the group and clenched his hand "Zhong! You bastard, how you dare to betray the clan!" he said furiously.

The true identity of the white-robe group was the previous elder Zhong and his followers, having betrayed the clan, following Spirit Hall.
