Ning Fengzhi Extorts Tang Hao

Sword Douluo returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and recounted what had happened at Shrek Academy, then immediately prepared to take Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo to bring Ning Rongrong back, while also settling the score with Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

As it turned out, just as Tang Hao had expected, Ning Fengzhi stopped Sword Douluo in his tracks.

"Uncle Sword, Martial Soul Hall is currently gaining massive momentum, and their ambition to annex the entire continent is clear to all. Only by uniting the Upper Three Sects can we stand against them; it is not the right time to have a conflict with the Clear Sky Sect."

"Then what about Rongrong?" Sword Douluo asked indignantly.

"Uncle Sword, please calm your anger. The Tang brothers' goal is that 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast; they won't do anything to Rongrong."

"So you mean to say we should just hand over that 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast as well?"

"Of course it won't be that cheap. Uncle Sword, since you were slighted, we will naturally seek justice for you."

"Fengzhi, what do you intend to do then?" Bone Douluo asked from the side.

"Naturally, we are going to deal with Tang Xiao and Tang Hao."

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, let's go." With that, Ning Fengzhi led Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong to find the Tang brothers.

However, Ning Fengzhi had no intention of bringing Ning Rongrong back.

The Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and the Star Luo Empire all had successors in this small Shrek Academy. It was the perfect opportunity for Ning Rongrong to befriend them and subsequently win over the forces behind them, which would be beneficial for the development of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

This was Ning Fengzhi's true intention.

On the way there, Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi and said, "Fengzhi, are we really going to fight the Tang brothers?"

"I was just hot-headed earlier and spoke impulsively, but you are the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; you cannot be impulsive. You must consider the sect."

"Uncle Sword, rest assured, I have my own plans."

"That's good."

Meanwhile, Bone Douluo said to Sword Douluo, "What's the matter, you old scoundrel, don't tell me you're scared?"

"Old Bone, who are you talking to!"

"I'm scared? What a joke."

"I'm just worried about the impact on the sect and Rongrong."

"I say, Old Bone, your worry is unnecessary. Who in the world doesn't know that Fengzhi is a famous old fox? Fengzhi wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure about."

"That's good, that's good."

Ning Fengzhi, hearing Bone Douluo's assessment of him, merely smiled slightly and said nothing.

Soon, the three of them found the Tang brothers.

"Sect Master Tang, Your Excellency Clear Sky, would you mind coming out for a meeting?" Ning Fengzhi said.

"Sect Master Ning is too polite," Tang Xiao replied.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao saw Ning Fengzhi bringing Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to settle the score, and they showed no panic, clearly having anticipated this.

If you bully someone, they will naturally come back to bully you in return.

"It has been many years, and the Clear Sky Twin Stars are as impressive as ever. Unlike me, who is still just a small Soul Saint."

"Sect Master Ning is joking. May I ask what brings you here today?"

"It's just that we haven't seen each other in years, and I've been missing you. Uncle Sword told me you two brothers were here, so I specifically came to catch up with old friends."

"Sect Master Ning, we are old acquaintances of many years; feel free to speak your mind."

"Sect Master Tang is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. Previously, there might have been some misunderstandings between you two and my Uncle Sword, leading to some unpleasantness. I've come here today hoping to help resolve the friction between our two houses." Ning Fengzhi said to Tang Xiao with a blank expression.

This time, Tang Xiao did not speak; instead, Tang Hao stepped forward, holding a box in his hand.

"Sect Master Ning, inside are two soul bones: one is the left leg bone of a 30,000-year-old Wind-Chasing Greedy Wolf, and the other is the right leg bone of a 35,000-year-old Black-Winged Goshawk. Consider it an apology from us brothers to Senior Sword Douluo."

With that, Tang Hao handed the two soul bones to Ning Fengzhi.

Looking at the two soul bones Tang Hao offered, Ning Fengzhi remained unmoved.

"What is Your Excellency Clear Sky doing? Please, take them back."

"Our Upper Three Sects have always been of one mind and one body, our bond stronger than gold. How could our friendship be compared to two measly soul bones?"

Tang Hao looked back at Tang Xiao after hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, and Tang Xiao looked at Tang Hao. Both brothers understood: Ning Fengzhi thought it wasn't enough.

Look at how beautifully he put it. He clearly wanted more, yet he made it sound so high-minded and righteous.

Tang Xiao said to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, please don't be so polite. It was our fault to begin with, so please accept these two soul bones."

"Furthermore, to express our apologies, within three days, we two brothers will send another 40,000-year-old soul bone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Oh my, Sect Master Tang, what are you doing? Our Upper Three Sects are of one mind and one body, our bond stronger than gold."

"Fifty thousand years."

"Sect Master Tang, you may have misunderstood my meaning. I was trying to say..."

"Two of them."

"No, Sect Master Tang..."

"Three pieces."

"Since Sect Master Tang insists, it would be rude of me to decline. I shall shamelessly accept them on behalf of my Uncle Sword."

In truth, upon hearing Tang Xiao offer three more fifty-thousand-year spirit bones, Ning Fengzhi had looked toward Sword Douluo, as he was the one who had suffered the grievance. Sword Douluo felt the terms were acceptable and nodded at Ning Fengzhi; only with that nod did Ning Fengzhi agree.

After obtaining two spirit bones and receiving the promise of three more fifty-thousand-year spirit bones from the Tang brothers, Ning Fengzhi intended to take Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo and depart.

"Sect Master Tang, Your Excellency Haotian, since the misunderstanding between our two houses has been resolved, I shall not disturb you further. Farewell."

"Safe travels, Sect Master Ning."

After the three of them left, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao plunged straight into the Star Dou Forest. As for what they were going to do, they were naturally going to find spirit beasts to "borrow" spirit bones from.

And what if the spirit beasts refused to lend them?

Then they would simply have to resolve it through physical means.

But spirit bones were not so easily found, and soon, the Star Dou Forest was flowing with blood.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The moment they returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Douluo said to Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, I didn't expect those two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, to be willing to bleed so much."

"Old Bone, you don't understand. What else could Tang Xiao and Tang Hao do? Do you really think they would dare to cross swords with you and me?"

"With Fengzhi's support, I wouldn't even need you; I could handle those two and make them completely submissive all by myself."

"You old sword, keep on bragging."

"What, you don't believe me? If you're not convinced, let's have a go!"

"Fine by me, who's afraid of whom?"

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, you two are at such an age, why are you still acting like children? Can't you just sit down and talk properly?"

"I have nothing to talk about with this Old Bone."

"I have nothing to say to this old sword either. But Fengzhi, what you said today was truly well-spoken."

"Old Bone is right, Fengzhi. With these five spirit bones, I actually feel that the grievance I suffered was well worth it."

"Uncle Sword, the Tang brothers made you suffer; this matter cannot just end here."

"Fengzhi, what else do you intend to do?"
