Another One Lost His Mind
To be able to become an old friend of a Peak Douluo like Liu Erlong, and to be so fond of him, must mean that he is also a powerful Titled Douluo. These Titled Douluo are often the more powerful they are, the more eccentric their tempers are. It is not surprising that he killed all of Ning Fengzhi's sons and a hundred of his clansmen today Ning Fengzhi attacked his son.
The only one to blame is Ning Fengzhi having too many hidden agendas.
So be it. Those people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are dead, they're just some support-type Soul Master anyway. The most urgent task is to win over Ye Qinghe and indirectly win over Ye Qinghe's father, so as to add more self-protection power to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi once again took advantage of him, the Emperor of Heaven Dou Empire, as a lesson for him.
"Mr. Dugu, Dean Liu, it sounds like you've already guessed who the murderer is. Could you introduce him to me?"
Xue Ye laughed.
Dugu Bo's lips twitched. If he were to introduce Bibi Dong to you, it would scare you to death.
He immediately denied it, saying, "Your Majesty is joking. This is merely my speculation. After all, Ning Fengzhi has repeatedly picked fights with my grandson-in-law. If he hadn't apologized, I would never have let it go so easily."
Liu Erlong refused outright. "No way."
Hearing this, Xue Ye knew he wouldn't get any information out of them, but that didn't matter, as long as they weren't enemies of the Heaven Dou Empire. "In that case," he said, "You two should come with me to take a look, lest Sect Master Ning, who has just experienced the pain of losing his son, do something rash."
A moment later, the three arrived outside the Heaven Dou Hall. There they saw Ning Fengzhi, as if possessed, questioning the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect steward, "More than four thousand Battle Soul Master, even if they were four thousand pigs, could protect our direct disciples. Yet you let the thieves take advantage of the situation, killing more than a hundred people before you even realized it. What use are you to our sect?"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect steward also felt wronged, and said innocently, "Sect Master, that thief is too cunning; he comes and goes without a trace. We can't find him at all."
"Then what about that Bone Douluo from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Isn't he in the sect?" Dugu Bo stepped forward and questioned.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and the four Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Soul Douluo immediately showed strange expressions.
Tang Hao also frowned.
Liu Erlong chimed in, "Yeah, isn't that guy called Bone Dragon Douluo here?"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's deacon said, "Elder Gu Rong announced his seclusion yesterday. We searched for him, but no one answered."
"This is interesting." Dugu Bo looked at Ning Fengzhi with a gloating expression and said, "Sect Master Ning, that Gu Rong is useless. They've come to our doorstep, and he hasn't made a move, letting them kill your sect's direct disciples. Could it be that he's not even in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at all, but is using the pretense of seclusion to do something else?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi knew perfectly well that his scheme had been seen through long ago. This was Ye Qinghe's revenge against him. His Uncle Gu had most likely failed. As for whether Gu Rong had also met with misfortune, he wasn't too worried.
With the Bone Dragon Martial Soul's strange spatial abilities, unless Bibi Dong or Qian Daoliu personally arrive, Ning Fengzhi doesn't believe anyone can stop his Uncle Bone.
The deaths of his sons and numerous direct disciples were undoubtedly Ye Qinghe's revenge against him.
But in front of Xue Ye, he couldn't admit it; he could only swallow his pride and bear it.
"Senior Dugu, you misunderstand. To be honest, since Uncle Bone's battle with you two years ago, he was ambushed by the Spirit Hall's Phoenix Douluo on his way back, suffering severe injuries that he has yet to recover from. This gave the thieves an opportunity. In my opinion, this must be a surprise attack launched by the Spirit Hall to test my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Just then, Sword Douluo arrived with Ning Rongrong.
Upon learning that her brothers were dead, Ning Rongrong felt no sadness whatsoever; on the contrary, she was overjoyed, for now, no one was more suitable than her to assume the position of sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School.
However, she still feigned a pitiful and heartbroken appearance, her voice audible but her tears unseen, "Dad, are my brothers really dead?"
"Yes, your brothers are all dead, Rongrong. You must remember this. This is a disgrace to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and it is also your disgrace. One day, you must eliminate that villain and avenge your brothers."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.
"I will, Dad. I will avenge my brothers." Ning Rongrong replied, but in her heart she felt a wave of fear and relief. Fortunately, she had made a deal with Ye Qinghe beforehand and had specifically reminded him not long ago, otherwise she might have been among the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples who died this time.
I just don't know if that Gu Rong is still alive.
It would be best if he died.
In this way, there will be far fewer obstacles when I seize power in the future.
Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong knew that although Ning Fengzhi was talking about the Spirit Hall on the surface, he was actually alluding to them. Dugu Bo sneered inwardly, thinking to himself, "This madman Ning is right."
Dugu Bo, infuriatingly, said, "Now that the matter has been discussed, let's head back. Sect Master Ning, don't forget my 95 million Gold Soul Coin!"
Liu Erlong added, "And don't forget my 94 million Gold Soul Coin and a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone."
"Rest assured, both of you. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect always prioritizes its reputation and will never go back on its word." Although Ning Fengzhi was so angry he felt like vomiting blood, he could only suppress his anger, otherwise things would really break down completely.
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had swallowed this bitter pill, Xue Ye went along with it and shifted the blame onto the Spirit Hall.
Of course, he was only saying it verbally. If he were to actually claim that the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall responsible, he would be unfairly blaming the Spirit Hall and completely offending them.
He wanted to protect himself, that's true, but he didn't want to actually confront the Spirit Hall.
A moment later, everyone left the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace one after another. Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo naturally went back to the hotel to find Ye Qinghe, while the Shrek group was picked up by Ning Fengzhi and taken to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Inside the luxurious carriage, Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong sat together, while Tang Hao and his son sat opposite them. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
A moment later, the carriage door opened, Sword Douluo rushed in. Ning Fengzhi quickly asked, "Uncle Jian, how is the situation?"
"I've checked the location you described. Ye Qinghe's room is empty, with only a pool of blood left behind," Sword Douluo said, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
"It seems that Uncle Gu has succeeded, but because he killed Ye Qinghe and was discovered by his father, the sect has retaliated against him."
Ning Fengzhi's expression softened slightly. If that's the case, it's not entirely unacceptable.
In exchange for the lives of over a hundred direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, eliminating Ye Qinghe, a major threat, this deal wasn't entirely a loss.
