The Tactful Ning Fengzhi

"What identity do you think they have?!"

Gui Mei snapped at him, then clasped his fists and said no more.

"Still as foul-tempered as ever!"

Yue Guan grumbled about Gui Mei twice, then suddenly remembered something. Raising his brows, he said, "Your Holiness, you mentioned the invitation just now. Perhaps it contains the information we need. Why don't we open it and take a look?"

Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment as well. She had been somewhat tense just now and had temporarily overlooked the invitation.

She immediately picked up the golden invitation she had just placed on the table. After opening it and reading its contents, an inscrutable look flashed through her eyes.

"Heaven and Earth Commerce Association? They are planning to hold a Soul Tool Auction at the Royal Auction House in Heaven Dou City one month from now. Soul Tools can allow ordinary people to kill Soul Masters, and their greatest power can rival a full-force strike from a level 95 Super Douluo!"

Bibi Dong's muttering was heard clearly by Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who instinctively refuted it.

"That's impossible. For ordinary people to kill Soul Masters is simply a pipe dream, and it can even rival a Super Douluo?"

The two of them were Super Douluo themselves. Having cultivated so painstakingly for so many years, how could they accept that someone could achieve such a level with a mere weapon?

"Heh, why is it impossible? They directly sent a Limit Douluo just to deliver invitations. The owner of this Heaven and Earth Commerce Association must be plotting something big!"

A strong look of interest appeared on Bibi Dong's face, and she became exceptionally curious about the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association.

"Have Salas bring over the investigation records on the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association. I want to see them!"

Spirit Hall's informants were spread across the entire Douluo Continent. As soon as Lin Hao had Ni Bin begin operating in Heaven Dou City, the local Spirit Hall branch had started gathering information.

Especially after Lin Hao encountered Xue Beng and Tuoba Hongshan displayed his Soul Douluo cultivation, Salas had attached even greater importance to the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association. Thus, Spirit Hall had gathered quite a bit of information on them.

"Lin Hao, Innate Soul Power level 1, Young Master of the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association... How is that possible? Even if they wanted to find a puppet, they should at least make it convincing. No one here is an idiot!"

After the documents were brought over, Bibi Dong glanced through the recorded information and tossed them to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

After all, a force capable of nurturing a Limit Douluo could not possibly be ordinary. Yet its current Young Master had Innate Soul Power of only level 1. That was far too strange.

However, the layers of mystery instead gave Bibi Dong the thought of personally visiting the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association.

"Your Holiness, then will Spirit Hall participate in the Soul Tool Auction held by the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association one month from now?"

After reading the information, Yue Guan and Gui Mei asked solemnly. Deep down, they did not want Bibi Dong to go!

The Heaven and Earth Commerce Association's background was unknown, yet a Limit Douluo had appeared the moment it emerged. Who knew whether there were more?

Furthermore, as the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had many enemies among the forces and people of the Douluo Continent.

If those people made a move against Her Holiness during that time, Spirit Hall would likely suffer an unprecedented blow.

Had they not seen how, after something happened to the previous Pope, Spirit Hall had directly split into two major factions and nearly fractured apart?

"We're going. We definitely have to go. If what they say about these Soul Tools is true, then if we miss this opportunity, it may become difficult to obtain high-grade Soul Tools in the future!"

Without a second thought, Bibi Dong nodded. An aura that seemed capable of sweeping aside the world instantly filled the entire Papal Hall.

"Understood. We'll go make preparations immediately!"

After hearing Bibi Dong's decision, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo said nothing further.

Having followed Bibi Dong for so many years, they naturally understood her personality. Trying to persuade her further would only earn them a scolding!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

At this moment, within the sect leader's main hall, an elegant young man was discussing matters with two middle-aged men.

These three were Ning Fengzhi, Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose wealth could rival a nation's; Sword Douluo Chen Xin; and Bone Douluo Gu Rong!

When the three worked together, their overall strength could rival that of a level 98 Peak Douluo. They were among the continent's foremost powers!

Without any of them noticing, a figure suddenly appeared within the sect leader's hall. After silently watching them for some time, he released an aura that bore down upon them!

The expressions of Ning Fengzhi and the other two immediately turned grave. Sensing that aura, they instantly summoned their Martial Souls.

Soul rings of every color flashed in succession as all three watched the figure warily!

"Accept the invitation!"

Just as the three faced a great enemy, the other party flicked his arm, sending a golden invitation flying toward them at an astonishing speed!

Bone Douluo flashed forward and hurriedly blocked the way. His eighth soul ring lit up as he forcibly caught the invitation!

This seemingly ordinary action caused all three of their expressions to change drastically.

They could sense a deadly threat from it, yet this had merely been a casual strike from the other party!

Ning Fengzhi reacted swiftly. Protected by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, may I ask why you have suddenly come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Worthy of being the continent's number one sect. Sect Leader Ning truly has an admirable temperament. I am Long Xiaoyao, Grand Elder of the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association!"

Long Xiaoyao, who had been delivering invitations all along, spoke slowly while standing in midair.

"Ning greets Elder Long!"

Ning Fengzhi restrained Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, who were itching to attack, before speaking again.

"I have come here for two matters. First, to deliver an invitation. Sect Leader Ning has likely heard about this recently; this is not my first appearance. In twenty days, the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association will hold a Soul Tool Auction in Heaven Dou City. The items for sale are all listed on the invitation! When the time comes, all members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are welcome to attend. I believe you are the ones who need this most! As for the second matter, my Young Master wishes to make a deal with Sect Leader Ning. Therefore, I hope Sect Leader Ning can make time to visit Heaven Dou City within the next few days. My Young Master awaits your arrival!"

Following Lin Hao's instructions, Long Xiaoyao did not show off his strength before leaving directly.

"Ning has indeed heard recently that the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association intends to hold an auction. I was just discussing this matter with Sword Uncle and Bone Uncle. Thank you, Your Excellency, for delivering the invitation! After all, just as you said, the direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are all auxiliary Soul Masters, and our combat strength is very weak. The Soul Tools mentioned by your association would be very useful to us!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded in understanding. He suddenly understood why those forces had worn such strange expressions whenever they mentioned the person delivering the invitations. They had definitely tried to put on airs and gotten beaten up for it!

Pushing aside his chaotic thoughts, Ning Fengzhi asked curiously, "But as far as I know, Your Excellency only delivers invitations. May I ask what exactly this cooperation entails?"

"Heh, large-scale Soul Tool transactions! Or support in armed strength! Or how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! Sect Leader Ning will know once you go!"

Following Lin Hao's arrangements, Long Xiaoyao whetted Ning Fengzhi's appetite. Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, he prepared to leave immediately.

"Wait, Your Excellency. Did you just say Martial Soul Evolution?"

Hearing that final point, Ning Fengzhi was first stunned, then urgently asked.
