"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, this old man is Meng Shu. I greet Your Excellency. May I know Your Excellency's Title?"
Seeing Tang Hao stop before them, Dragon Duke Meng Shu suppressed the fear in his heart and stepped forward to salute the person before him.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Dowager Zhao Tianxiang were known by the world as the Peerless Dragon Snake. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill could even make Titled Douluo wary. In the Douluo Era 1, they sounded very powerful.
But that was only in name. Wary was not the same as afraid. Furthermore, the Titled Douluo who were wary of them were usually only level ninety-one, or even Titled Douluo who didn't have good Soul Ring configurations.
Tang Hao's optimal Soul Ring configuration of two Yellow, two Purple, four Black, and one Red clearly placed him outside the scope of their wariness. Coupled with this Soul Ring configuration, it made them recall someone, someone who had defeated the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall. Therefore, Meng Shu's words became even more cautious.
Tang Hao glanced at Meng Shu with disdain, having no intention of answering him. He simply threw Zhao Wuji out silently.
"Who defeated you?"
Feeling Tang Hao's disregard, the skin on Dragon Duke Meng Shu's face twitched. It had been so long since he had encountered someone who had so utterly embarrassed him. However, thinking of the optimal Soul Ring configuration of two Yellow, two Purple, four Black, and one Red opposite him, Meng Shu silently suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, not daring to let that Titled Douluo see it.
"It was him, Haotian Your Excellency, it was him!"
Zhao Wuji pointed at Lin Feng with his hand, and then Tang Hao's and Lin Feng's gazes met.
To Tang Hao's surprise, Lin Feng showed no fear towards him at all.
In response, Tang Hao prepared to directly seize Lin Feng and interrogate him. But at this moment, Ning Rongrong stepped forward, blocking Lin Feng's path.
"Senior Haotian, my father, Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, has long admired you. He specifically instructed me to greet you if I ever met you. The Upper Three Sects are of one family. My father would very much like you to be a guest at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Rongrong said with a smile, appearing very graceful and poised. Clearly, her disregard for Flender was purely because she didn't think much of him at all.
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao, who was already preparing to act, paused.
He didn't think much of the mere Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In the past, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was beneath the Clear Sky Sect. He had still dared to fight the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, who was even more powerful than the Clear Sky Sect, so why would he care about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose strength was even weaker?
But times had changed. He had already killed the former Pope of the Martial Soul Hall and offended the Martial Soul Hall to the point of an irreconcilable conflict with the Clear Sky Sect. If he were to offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which was outwardly allied with the Clear Sky Sect, at this time, he would be creating too many enemies for the Clear Sky Sect.
Even though he had been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, the title of Clear Sky Douluo destined that his every action would represent the Clear Sky Sect in the eyes of the world.
Thinking that he had already wronged the sect, Tang Hao, who had previously looked down on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had no choice but to slow down his actions.
"Your father is Ning Fengzhi?"
"That's right. In fact, it's not just my father; Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Jian also wish to meet you."
Seeing that Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao's intention to attack had subsided, Ning Rongrong quickly continued, while also feeling fortunate that her gamble had paid off.
Yes, it was a gamble. She was gambling that Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao would be wary of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and wouldn't dare to act rashly.
After Zhao Wuji mentioned that Lin Feng was the one who defeated him, Ning Rongrong basically understood what was going on.
Although she didn't know how Zhao Wuji had managed to get involved with Clear Sky Douluo, Ning Rongrong was certain that Tang Hao was here to back Zhao Wuji up.
Faced with this situation, Ning Rongrong certainly couldn't let Lin Feng be beaten to death like that.
It wasn't that Ning Rongrong felt sorry for the investment of two million Gold Soul Coins. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was wealthy enough that two million Gold Soul Coins was nothing. Even if the investment failed, her father would at most scold her a couple of times, and wouldn't even say a third word, because it wouldn't be necessary. Moreover, investments always came with risks, and it was unrealistic to expect every investment to yield returns.
Besides, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't excessively dampen Ning Rongrong's confidence in investing. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, being a support-type Martial Soul, needed to invest in talented Soul Masters to maintain its status.
Yes, it was about investing in geniuses, not in powerhouses, because powerhouses didn't need your investment.
Once a person grew to become a Titled Douluo, would they still lack money or resources?
Therefore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's investments were always made early.
Lin Feng was an investment target chosen by Ning Rongrong, and someone she had decided to invest in as much as possible.
The reason was simple: after interacting with him during this period, and through the intimacy she had cultivated with Lin Feng, she had touched upon Lin Feng's bones.
The criteria for judging whether a person was a genius were, firstly, their strength. Secondly, their age.
As for strength, it went without saying. Zhao Wuji's Immovable Ming King's hasty retreat had already proven Lin Feng's strength. And Ning Rongrong's repeated intimacy had confirmed Lin Feng's bone age time and again.
Seventeen!
This was an utterly unbelievable age. If not for Ning Rongrong's repeated confirmations, she would never have believed that Lin Feng was only seventeen years old.
At seventeen, he had defeated Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji. This talent could already be considered unparalleled throughout history.
It was precisely because of this incomprehensible talent that Ning Rongrong had proposed the transaction of two million Gold Soul Coins to hunt a third Soul Ring, which was purely throwing money away.
Otherwise, two million Gold Soul Coins should have been used to earn a favor, not just to sell a good deed.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wasn't so poor that they would suffer such a loss.
For such a genius, Ning Rongrong naturally had to try her best to win him over. Furthermore, while anyone could betray their companions, the direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect absolutely could not betray their companions. It was with this in mind that she had braced herself and chosen to protect Lin Feng under the pressure of Clear Sky Douluo.
And she had indeed protected him. This meant that in front of Lin Feng, the image of a sect that could choose to shelter you even when facing a Titled Douluo was established. This was a great thing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo? Fine. If that's the case, then let's forget about what happened before. Where is that girl named Xiao Wu? Hand her over. She is like a sister to my son."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know where Xiao Wu was, but Xiao Wu had disappeared after Lin Feng brought her to his room earlier. Thinking that some Soul Tools could store living beings, she wasn't worried that Lin Feng couldn't produce Xiao Wu.
However, just as she was thinking this, Lin Feng silently pulled her behind him.
"I cannot hand over Xiao Wu, because I have already killed her."
Silence!
Deathly silence!
Tang Hao's expression turned grim, and the Dragon Duke, Snake Dowager, and Zhao Wuji's faces went pale with fear.
"You... are you looking to die?"
Tang Hao's gaze fixed on Lin Feng, his Titled Douluo aura and killing intent released without restraint.
Just as everyone thought Lin Feng was finished, a set of armor suddenly appeared on Lin Feng. Immediately after, a brilliant silver-white light flared behind him, his aura also reaching the Titled Douluo realm.
