Alliance with the Seven Treasure Sect, Dragon Might Beneath the Spring

Luo Can's idea was simple.

He can't influence Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing of the Star Luo Empire, or even the other Shrek Seven Devils, but Ning Fengzhi has come to him, so he naturally wants to take the opportunity to eliminate the other party's two biggest future allies.

Previously, he had already subdued Dugu Bo, and all the Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had been transplanted to the Fate Defying Valley. Now, if he could bind Ning Fengzhi to his side, without the financial support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, how could Tang San develop Hidden Weapon? How could he establish the Tang Sect?

At the same time, without the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Shrek Seven Devils will face even greater difficulties in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a moment, his mind racing.

What does Luo Can Can's condition mean? Does it mean that the Fate Defying Pavilion might become enemies with the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the future? Or is it just a simple test to see if he is truly willing to form an alliance?

"The Upper Three Sects of one mind and share the same roots"—this was indeed the slogan he came up with based on the weaknesses of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, they were just an auxiliary sect, and maintaining their alliance with the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was a necessary consideration for the sect's safety and continuation.

But he also knew that neither the Clear Sky Sect nor the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan took those words to heart. The Clear Sky Sect lived in seclusion, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was arrogant and conceited; the so-called "shared destiny" was more wishful thinking on his part.

Now, he needs a new ally.

The powerful Luo Can, Qian Renxue, and the mysterious Fate Defying Pavilion are simply perfect allies.

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said:

"Please rest assured. No matter what the future holds, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will no longer provide any assistance to the Clear Sky Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. From this day forward, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will stand with the Fate Defying Pavilion."

Hearing this answer, Luo Can smiled with satisfaction.

"Very good." He nodded. "You'll be glad you made this choice."

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom. The jade pendant was pure white and smooth as jade, with the words "Fate Defying" carved on the front.

"This is the Guest Elder Token of the Fate Defying Pavilion." Luo Can handed the jade token to Ning Fengzhi. "The holder of this token can freely enter and leave the Fate Defying Pavilion and enjoy the treatment of a guest elder. If there is any important matter, you can also use this token to send a message. You only need to inject soul power to contact me."

Ning Fengzhi solemnly accepted the jade token. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and he could clearly feel the exquisite array contained within it. This was clearly not an ordinary token, but a precious Soul Tool.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Luo." Ning Fengzhi bowed respectfully.

"No need to be so polite," Luo Can waved his hand. "Now that we're allies, we should naturally look out for each other in the future. By the way..."

He glanced at Xue Qinghe beside him and said calmly:

"Your First Prince, do you know what to say about today's events?"

Xue Qinghe nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, I know! Today, my teacher, Sword Douluo, and I came to Sunset Forest to hunt for Spirit Ring. Unfortunately, we encountered a beast tide and got separated from my teacher. We managed to escape, but as for Miss ' Bai Xue '... she... she was unfortunately injured by Spirit Beast and has already perished in its belly..."

As he spoke, he secretly observed Luo Can's expression, afraid that he might say the wrong word.

"Very good." Luo Can interrupted him, "Remember what you said. If anyone asks, just say it like this. If you let something slip..."

He didn't finish speaking, but the coldness in his eyes said it all.

"Yes, yes, yes! I will absolutely keep my mouth shut!" Xue Qinghe replied repeatedly.

"In that case, we'll take our leave." Luo Can looked at Qian Renxue and said, "Xue'er, let's go."

Qian Renxue nodded and took Luo Can's hand. The two of them flashed and disappeared from the spot like phantoms.

Ji Juechen nodded to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, then transformed into a sharp sword light and followed closely behind.

In the mountain stream, only Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Xue Qinghe remained.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, both seeing a sense of relief in each other's eyes. Although today's events were perilous, the outcome was better than expected.

"Qinghe," Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Qinghe, a gentle smile on his face, "What did those two say to you inside?"

Xue Qinghe hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the terrifying restriction in his mind, he answered honestly:

"It's nothing... it's just that I've switched sides with them. I'll be working for them from now on."

A knowing glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. It seemed this First Prince did have some sense, knowing to curry favor with such a powerful figure. He paused, then tentatively asked:

"You won't blame the teacher... for taking you to see them, will you?"

"How could that be!" Xue Qinghe shook his head repeatedly, his face even showing excitement. "Meeting these two is the greatest blessing of my life! Moreover, they helped me get rid of the spies that the Spirit Hall had planted among me. I am more than grateful!"

Previously, he had planned to make Bai Xue his Crown Princess once his position as Crown Prince was secure. Little did he know that Bai Xue was actually a member of the Spirit Hall. Now that Bai Xue was no longer a threat and he had secured two incredibly powerful allies, he felt that his future was bright.

"It seems so," Ning Fengzhi patted his shoulder, his smile deepening, "We're in the same boat from now on, Qinghe. You should visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School more often. We, master and disciple, should get closer."

"Great!" Xue Qinghe thought to himself with delight.

Now, I not only have two powerful backers, but also the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Who else but me can claim the future imperial power in the Tiandou Empire!

"Let's go," Ning Fengzhi a great mood, "I'll take you to get Spirit Ring now. If we're going to make up a story, we should at least make it believable."

"Yes!" Xue Qinghe quickly followed.

On the other side, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Luo Can and Qian Renxue returned to the spring and looked at the red and blue waters, a hint of curiosity flashing in their eyes.

"Shall we go down and take a look?" Luo Can suggested.

"Hmm." Qian Renxue nodded. "I'm also very curious about what's deep inside this spring."

The two left Ji Juechen to guard the spring, then plunged into the water and swam towards deeper water.

The spring water was very clear, but the further down you went, the dimmer the light became, and the red and blue waters intertwined, creating a strange gradient of colors.

As they descended a certain distance, the ice and fire energy in the spring water increased dramatically. When they reached a hundred meters, the surrounding environment became extreme. To the left was the red spring water, as hot as lava, and to the right was the blue spring water, as cold as ice. The two extreme forces converged and collided here, forming a strange balance.

Even a level 98 Super Douluo would find it difficult to withstand the corrosive power of extreme cold and heat here.

Although Qian Renxue had already broken through to level 99 and had the Light and Dark Angel Martial Soul protecting her, she still felt somewhat strained.

Moreover, a faint dragon's might was surging in from all directions.

The dragon's might was faint, as if it had dissipated countless years ago, but the majesty and domineering power it contained were more terrifying than many living dragon-type Spirit Beast.

"Can you hold on?" Luo Can asked, glancing at Qian Renxue beside him.

His situation is better—he has the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, giving him a natural resistance to dragon might. Moreover, his constitution is special, so the power of ice and fire has little effect on him.

"It's alright," Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, "Just a little stressful."

"Okay." Luo Can nodded. "We'll continue descending a little further. If you really can't hold on, then we can turn back!"

Qian Renxue shook her head, and the two continued to sink.

150 meters, 180 meters, 200 meters...

The surrounding spring water had completely turned into two colors: fiery red and icy blue, like two giant dragons entwined. The power of fire and ice elements grew stronger and stronger, even forming a tangible energy flow that slowly circulated in the spring water.

The dragon's might grew increasingly terrifying.

Although the atmosphere was deathly still, the oppressive feeling it brought made Luo Can serious for the first time.

Such dragon might would have been unbearable for him if he hadn't possessed the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

"It seems my strength is still somewhat insufficient," Luo Can thought to himself. "Otherwise, the two dead Dragon Kings wouldn't have put me under so much pressure."

As he gazed at the ever-deepening red and blue hues ahead, he knew that the deepest part of this spring must contain the remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King. If he could obtain their remaining essence, he might be able to try Self-Created Divine Position.

But now is not the time to explore.

"Let's go back." Luo Can took Qian Renxue's hand. "Once my strength reaches the Demigod level, I'll come back here to investigate further."

Qian Renxue nodded; she sensed it too—going any further might be dangerous.

The two did not linger and quickly swam upstream.

Back on the water's surface, Ji Juechen remained standing guard by the spring, like a stone statue.

"How is it?" he asked.

"It's too deep, we can't go down for now." Luo Can shook his head. "We'll talk about it later when we're strong enough."

He looked at Qian Renxue, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes:

"Next, I will teach you how to condense Dual Soul Cores. After you successfully condense them, we will return to the Fate Defying Valley."

"Dual Soul Cores?" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up.

"Hmm." Luo Can nodded. "With your current strength and the quality of your martial soul, condensing Dual Soul Cores shouldn't be difficult. Moreover, the Light and Dark Angel martial soul is inherently suitable for condensing Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. Once successful, your strength will increase at least threefold."

Qian Renxue's eyes were full of anticipation. "Okay, when do we start?"
