Tang Hao heard someone calling him and curiously turned around.
Lu Jiang was just a brat in his teens. There was no way he could escape from Tang Hao's grasp.
Instead, Tang Hao had noticed the aura of the person behind him from the very beginning.
Soul Power of such intensity did not seem like something a young woman like her could possess.
Moreover, this person's martial soul seemed somewhat unusual.
He had never felt such pure light-element energy even from a light-attribute Titled Douluo.
Thus, Tang Hao turned around curiously and said rather casually,
"You were looking for me?"
However, the instant he turned around, he saw fury and hatred in Qian Renxue's eyes.
It was as if she wanted to kill him.
Tang Hao froze for a moment, unable to understand why this young woman hated him so much.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong hurried back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect without stopping.
When she saw the battered, hole-ridden Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect beyond the mountain gate, she was so frightened that she collapsed onto the ground.
Just then, Ning Fengzhi was seeing off the people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect with an apologetic expression.
However, when he looked up, he saw Ning Rongrong sitting beneath the mountain gate.
The moment Ning Fengzhi saw her, rage surged within him.
He immediately rushed over to Ning Rongrong and delivered a resounding slap.
Ning Rongrong clutched her cheek and looked at Ning Fengzhi with a wronged expression.
She did not understand why her father had suddenly come over and hit her.
"Father, what did Rongrong do wrong? Why did you hit me?"
Ning Fengzhi had already been furious. Seeing Ning Rongrong's innocent expression, completely ignoring the bombed-out ruins around them, only made him angrier.
He raised his hand and fiercely said to Ning Rongrong,
"You still have the nerve to ask why I hit you?"
"Were those bombs brought in by you?"
"You even gave every disciple a bomb. What exactly were you trying to do?"
"Were you trying to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
After saying that, Ning Fengzhi swung at Ning Rongrong's face again.
However, a white figure flashed past Ning Fengzhi at that moment.
He caught the hand that was about to come down.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin gripped Ning Fengzhi's hand and said,
"Sect Master, there must be some hidden reason behind this."
"You cannot hit Rongrong without first getting to the bottom of things."
Ning Rongrong cried as she said to Ning Fengzhi,
"Grandpa Jian is right. I only just returned to the sect. I don't know anything about what you're talking about."
At that moment, Ning Rongrong seemed to remember something and stopped crying.
She then said to Ning Fengzhi,
"I know! It must have been Lu Jiang!"
"Yes, Lu Jiang must be behind this!"
"Not long ago, I went to reconcile with him, but he had someone humiliate me and even beat me."
"He must have come back to the sect to take revenge on me!"
Ning Rongrong spoke viciously to Ning Fengzhi.
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi felt his mind explode with a boom.
He had known from the start that Lu Jiang's sudden agreement to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had to be suspicious.
But because of Lu Jiang's astonishing talent, as well as his own confidence in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundations,
he had believed Lu Jiang could not possibly stir up much trouble.
He had never expected Lu Jiang to nearly destroy the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Fortunately, although the sect has been destroyed, rebuilding it will not be difficult with our foundations."
The moment Ning Fengzhi said that, he suddenly froze.
He simply stared blankly ahead before suddenly shouting,
"Oh no, the Treasure Pavilion!"
Ning Fengzhi stood before the Treasure Pavilion, which had already become a field of ruins.
Looking at the broken bricks and shattered tiles scattered across the ground, he was so enraged that he threw back his head and howled.
"Lu Jiang!!!!!"
After shouting, Ning Fengzhi collapsed weakly against a nearby stone.
One hand braced against the stone while the other held his forehead.
"Ah... what sin have I committed?"
"What exactly happened today? Am I having a nightmare?"
"I can't tell. I really can't tell anymore!!!"
Ning Fengzhi spoke as if he were on the verge of collapse.
Seeing her father like this, Ning Rongrong felt somewhat distressed and stepped forward, wanting to comfort him.
However, Ning Fengzhi merely waved his hand and told Ning Rongrong to leave first.
Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, but said nothing. She could only turn and leave.
After Ning Rongrong left, Chen Xin walked over and helped Ning Fengzhi up.
He then asked,
"Sect Master, what should we do next?"
Ning Fengzhi slowly raised his head, his gaze filled with viciousness.
He then said in a low voice,
"No matter what, find Lu Jiang first."
"Bring him back. Once we question him, we'll know who was behind all this."
Meanwhile, elsewhere,
Qian Renxue stared at Tang Hao before her, her eyes burning with rage.
"Tang Hao. You finally dared to show yourself!"
However, although Qian Renxue wanted nothing more than to tear apart the man who had killed her father,
the last shred of reason stopped her from attacking.
The man before her was, after all, a Titled Douluo. He was absolutely not someone she could contend with right now.
Not to mention that she had originally come out this time to search for Lu Jiang.
She had never expected to encounter an enemy.
Thus, she had not brought any guards. Running into Tang Hao had been completely unexpected.
Tang Hao tightly gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and slowly walked toward Qian Renxue.
As he walked, he asked Qian Renxue,
"Miss, we have not met before, have we?"
"Why do you hate me so much the moment you see me?"
"Could it be that we have some grudge from before?"
As Tang Hao walked, he slowly released his aura.
The domain of a Titled Douluo rendered Qian Renxue completely unable to move.
Qian Renxue understood that she was absolutely no match for the man before her.
Even though she hated him to the bone, she absolutely could not confront him.
But things had already reached this point. Even if she tried to flee, could she really escape?
Not to mention that Lu Jiang was still here.
Even if she could escape, Lu Jiang would definitely fall into Tang Hao's hands.
Was the genius she had painstakingly cultivated for so long truly going to be handed over just like that?
Was she supposed to watch helplessly as Tang Hao killed one of her subordinates?
At that moment, a sudden sense of helplessness washed over Qian Renxue.
If she had been stronger, she would not have been powerless when facing the man who had killed her father.
Tang Hao had already arrived before Qian Renxue.
He raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand high overhead.
Staring coldly at Qian Renxue, he said,
"Since you are with the culprit who killed Xiao Wu, then you will die together!"
The instant he finished speaking, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand came crashing down.
