Han Li did it on purpose. Ning Fengzhi's opportunistic behavior was really serious, or rather, in his mind, there was nothing that couldn't be exchanged.

Unfortunately, he didn't like it. Even bad people want to be surrounded by good people, let alone Han Li.

What he needs now is stability.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has a very good reputation on the continent. Although he could have treated it the same way as the Clear Sky Sect, simply vilifying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, no one would have dared to say anything.

But he doesn't want to cause panic; a stable output of faith is what he's most concerned about right now.

Although the traffic will gradually decrease afterward, he has been steadily releasing the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and there will be upgraded versions later, so the period of high returns is not over yet.

He didn't want to push other forces too hard, and among them, the Star Luo Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were naturally the two biggest destabilizing factors.

A warning is necessary, and compared to the Star Luo Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a pragmatic one, having decisively abandoned some of the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Hearing Han Li's words, Ning Fengzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Well, nothing more. He's familiar with Han Li's procedures. It's a method he used to deal with other people before, so it's hard not to be familiar with it.

This is not a good situation. The three chances Han Li gave were clearly meant to test his bottom line. Although he said it was three chances, everyone knew that the first chance would basically determine the course of events.

But is completely crushing the Spirit Hall, or rather, Han Li's side, the right choice? He attended the entire Soul Master Competition, and the forces led by Bibi Dong and Han Li's side were not as harmonious as they appeared to the outside world.

Although Han Li demonstrated exceptional strength during this process, according to Sword Uncle, Bibi Dong, the Pope, was not just a figurehead; he felt a great sense of crisis simply by getting close to her.

Although Han Li strong, he is still young. Whether he can fully grow to the level of the other party is still unknown. There are too many things that can happen in the meantime.

Ning Fengzhi was caught in a dilemma. From the very beginning, the negotiation had been under the other party's control, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing him deep in thought, Han Li didn't urge him. Instead, he started sipping his tea. The tea was from Qian Renxue, and the quality was quite good.

Ning Rongrong also came to her senses and subconsciously bit her lip. This wasn't the first time she had come into contact with Han Li. Because of Zhu Zhuqing, she had come here quite often.

This guy is definitely doing it on purpose. She didn't realize that Han Li had much affection for her. When they were playing around, his eyes were always on Zhu Zhuqing. At most, he treated her as an ordinary friend.

"What a wicked heart, just like your father," Ning Rongrong thought to herself, but secretly tugged at Ning Fengzhi's sleeve and shook her head slightly.

Having gone through a series of events, she is now a qualified young sect leader, though she is still somewhat naive.

Han Li naturally noticed the subtle actions of the father and daughter, but he did not stop them, calmly waiting for their reply.

After giving Ning Fengzhi a hint, Ning Rongrong turned her head and inquired about Han Li Zhu Zhuqing's situation. After learning that they had gone to another place to cultivate, she changed the subject, trying to buy her father more time.

Han Li didn't care about her little thoughts and chatted with her calmly, since he wasn't in a hurry anyway.

About five minutes later, Ning Fengzhi finally looked up from his reverie. He glanced at Ning Rongrong, who was talking to Han Li, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He then took over the conversation.

"It seems you two get along quite well; you can visit each other more often in the future."

Ning Fengzhi looked at his daughter and said with a smile, setting the tone for the conversation.

Han Li smiled and looked at him, simply nodding without saying anything, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be an ally of Han Shengzi from now on. No matter who the other party is, we will stand firmly by your side until you ascend to the position of Pope."

Ning Fengzhi's expression was very serious, as if he were talking about something very important.

Han Li chuckled. Everyone knows that alliances are meant to be destroyed. To him, such words were as good as nothing; only a fool would believe them.

"The Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon must have heard similar things before."

Han Li took a sip of tea and casually looked up to meet Ning Fengzhi's gaze.

"Let's be frank, Sovereign Ning. Let's skip the formalities. I want something more practical. I don't need your friendship, nor do I lack it."

"Furthermore, you may have misunderstood something. I don't care about the Pope. If I wanted it, the Pope wouldn't be too difficult for me, understand?"

Han Li spoke casually, but the strong confidence in his words showed that he was not lying, which made Ning Fengzhi frown. He had misjudged the other party's target from the very beginning.

Han Li wasn't talking nonsense. Qian Renxue is currently in charge of matters related to the Heaven Dou Empire. She even said something similar to Qian Daoliu, wanting to completely eliminate Bibi Dong.

Han Li simply refused. He had no interest in dealing with those matters; as long as the Spirit Hall could provide him with convenience in the general direction, that would be enough.

It would be best for Bibi Dong to stick to Pope. Wouldn't it be better to expose her enemies openly? Who knows if she becomes more twisted or even aids her in her Rakshasa God Test if she stops being the Pope and gets rid of those worldly affairs?

Aiming to Destruction the Qian Family and the Spirit Hall is a good thing. At least she won't go astray and is still working hard in silence. How diligent she is! Moreover, Han Li even led the people of the Worship Hall to move to a new location, which is more suitable for her to exert her influence.

"Then what do you want?"

After a moment of silence, Ning Fengzhi finally couldn't hold back any longer.

The key issue is that he had always been thinking in terms of direction, but now that he's been told that the direction he's striving for is wrong, what's the point of him continuing to think about it?

"What do you want? Of course, we hope you will become a part of the Spirit Hall. That way, there will be no transaction involved. Don't you agree, Sovereign Ning?"

Han Li put down his teacup and said with a smile.

"That's impossible."

Ning Fengzhi blurted it out almost without thinking, and Gu Rong behind him had the same reaction. Only Ning Rongrong frowned but didn't say anything.

"Don't be so absolute. Nothing is impossible in this world, is it?"

Han Li looked at the two men, who were furious, and said with a smile:

"As a bonus, Her Majesty His Holiness the Pope Bibi Dong has a plan that can be called the ' Spirit Hall Empire ' plan. Now that I've told you, do you still think it's impossible?"

"Oh right, there seems to be a preliminary plan, what was it called again? Oh, ' Soul Hunting Operation,' which is quite fitting."

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong paused, their expressions shifting from anger to horror.

They had made this guess before, but they never imagined that one day they would confirm it from the Spirit Hall Saint Child.

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, suppressing his chaotic thoughts, and looked at Han Li: "Your relationship with her isn't that harmonious, is it? Aren't you going to stop her? If her plan succeeds, you might be the next target."

While trying to gather more information, he also attempted to sow discord between the two.

"Yes, you're right. My relationship with her isn't good; in fact, it's terrible. My master even wanted to beat her up, but why should I stop her? Would that do any harm to the Spirit Hall? I don't even want to be the Pope, so what's there to care about?"

Han Li nonchalantly provided Ning Fengzhi with the information he wanted.

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback. Right, he had forgotten that the person in front of him had already said that he did not want to be the Pope. With his strength and the reputation he gained after the release of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, who could do anything to him?

"One thing is certain: when she launches her plan, the power structure on the continent will be reshuffled. Guess how your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be treated? You are one of the Three Upper Sects."

Han Li stared at Ning Fengzhi with amusement, admiring his fascinating face-changing skills.

"Xue Qinghe is already one of yours?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression was quite conflicted. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Han Li, his voice trembling slightly.

Han Li didn't answer his question, but instead gave him a polite smile. It wasn't hard to guess that he would work backward from the result.

"You guys will also intervene?"

Ning Fengzhi asked a question that seemed to come out of nowhere.

"I am the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. How could I possibly disobey His Holiness the His Majesty the Pope's order?"

Han Li gave a somewhat irrelevant reply.

In the hall, for a moment, only the sound of breathing could be heard.

"What would happen to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect if it joined the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi's voice became very hoarse, as if it was extremely difficult for him to say those words.

"It depends on your choice, but it's almost certain that the treatment won't be bad, after all, your Martial Soul speaks for itself, doesn't it?"

Han Li picked up the teacup and swirled the tea inside, pinching the rim.

"Even if you join Bibi Dong's side, you don't seem to care much."

Ning Fengzhi was a little unsure of his intentions. It seemed that Han Li had no intention of offering them any terms, and it didn't seem like he was trying to recruit them.

"I'm not going to be the Pope, so what benefits do you think you can bring me?"

Han Li's words made Gu Rong's face flush red. In his eyes, this contempt was tantamount to an insult.

"Call"

Ning Fengzhi exhaled, pulled Gu Rong back to her seat with his arm, and looked at Han Li with a complicated expression.

In the past, he was always the center of attention wherever he went.

But in Han Li's eyes, he, they, and the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were all worthless. This psychological gap was hard for him to accept for a while.

"I need to think about it. Don't worry, no one else will know what I'm saying here today."

Ning Fengzhi's expression was somewhat bitter as he spoke. Even if he dared to speak, was he supposed to report it to the Star Luo Empire?

"I will leave in seven days."

Han Li picked up his teacup, took a sip, and didn't even bother to get up. Looking at the three people's somewhat dejected backs, he pulled up his black robe again and got into the carriage at the door.

"Indecisive indeed."

Han Li watched as the door closed, shook his head, stood up, and walked towards the backyard.

The more time is wasted, the lower their value becomes.

However, Bibi Dong is indeed quite useful, saving him a lot of time, so he decided to make her his scapegoat from now on.
