The Sect Master, It Doesn't Add Up! Dugu Yan: Amazing! You dare rub salt in the wound!

After the explosion, Sword Douluo's aura was somewhat unstable.

"Damn it!"

Sword Douluo did not know why such a powerful enemy had suddenly appeared, and after a single exchange, he could not find the enemy's figure anywhere. Even the enemy's soul power fluctuations had vanished completely!

"Gale Two-Headed Wolf... Hmph, Feng Xiaotian!"

It had to be said that Feng Xiaotian, with his Innate Full Soul Power and mutated Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul, was a famous genius in the Tiandou Empire—truly, very famous.

Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes. Having failed to find the enemy, he suddenly noticed Ning Fengzhi lying unconscious in the room with its roof torn off.

"Fengzhi! Thank goodness, it's just unconsciousness... Hm? This... this... Fengzhi, hold on! I'll go find a healing-type soul master right now! Find the Nine Heart Begonia! They must have the ability to regenerate severed limbs!"

Sword Douluo anxiously ran over to check on Ning Fengzhi's condition, and it gave him a massive fright.

Just how much hatred and resentment must one have to be capable of such a life-ruining act?

As he thought about it, Sword Douluo felt something was off, because Ning Fengzhi had many children; he hadn't been left without descendants.

On the other side.

Feng Xiaodi and Ozka returned to Dugu Manor almost simultaneously.

Dugu Xue stood in the courtyard and asked calmly, "You two caused quite a stir when you went out. What did you do?"

Ozka set the fox-eared woman down from his back and said furiously, "That hypocrite Ning Fengzhi actually wanted to violate a woman's will... I castrated him!"

"What..."

Never mind Dugu Xue, even Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who had just walked out of the house, were stunned.

Dugu Yan asked tentatively, in disbelief, "That... you aren't joking, right? You really castrated the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the second-ranked sect in the world, the possessor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, and a seven-ringed Soul Saint powerhouse, Ning Fengzhi?"

"Oh~ he has quite a few titles. It must be him, no mistake."

"You're a beast!" Dugu Yan gave Ozka a thumbs-up.

Ozka's lips curled slightly, and he chuckled foolishly, "Hehe~ I am a model student of the Immortal Court! An outstanding citizen with well-rounded development in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor! Upholding the majesty of the Immortal Court's laws is everyone's responsibility!"

"Alright!" Dugu Bo interrupted, "Yan'er, hurry back to sleep. You're a young lady; what does it look like for you to be concerned with these things?"

"Oh~" Dugu Yan closed the door and went back to sleep obediently.

Dugu Bo was filled with worry, deeply regretting that he hadn't accompanied the two of them to scout the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that night. A dignified sect master being castrated—this was like poking a hole in the sky!

"You two little brothers, you didn't expose your identities, did you?"

"I don't think so. I only exposed the Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul. Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wants to find trouble, they won't be able to pin it on me."

"Sigh~ forget it, forget it. You two just stay here with me for these two days and don't go out. We'll talk after this storm passes."

"Alright. Senior, please arrange a place for this lady to stay."

"I will have the housekeeper arrange it."

"Don't let anyone bully her. In our Immortal Court, everyone is equal! Especially those like her whose martial souls mutated; in our Immortal Court, they are adored by thousands!"

"Rest assured!"

Dugu Bo would never offend this fox-eared woman. The two people before him had castrated Ning Fengzhi specifically for her! That was Ning Fengzhi! Most terrifying of all, they had managed to retreat unscathed after castrating him on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's own turf!

Throughout the process, Dugu Xue only shook his head with a bitter smile, saying nothing more.

The next day.

The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was on high alert, in a state of level-one combat readiness.

Even in Tiandou City, tens of kilometers away, one could feel the grim atmosphere surrounding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Everyone speculated that it must be because the two offensive soul tools the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had purchased were being coveted by other factions.

Ning Fengzhi lay on his sickbed, raging, "If you can't even manage limb regeneration, what use are you to me!"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes were bloodshot. He could not believe that someone would risk their life to run to the headquarters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect just to castrate him over a fox-eared girl bought for 150,000 Gold Soul Coins!

If those two had come for revenge or for the two offensive soul tools, Ning Fengzhi could have understood!

Ning Fengzhi simply could not fathom that those two would stand up for a fox-eared girl and castrate him!

Therefore!

Ning Fengzhi directly defined the two as powerful enemies of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He certainly wouldn't dare admit that he had failed to force himself upon a woman and had his equipment confiscated in return... Regardless, the excuse of "powerful enemies" was reasonable and logical! Everyone believed it too!

At this moment, the healing-type soul master knelt on the ground, trembling, "Sect Master, it was cut too... too finely... there is truly no way to piece it back together... even a Nine Heart Begonia soul master couldn't manage limb regeneration!"

"Get out! All of you, get out!"

Bang!

Just as the crowd was scolded away, Ning Fengzhi slammed his fist against the edge of the bed and asked with a gloomy face, "Uncle Jian, have you found out who infiltrated our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect last night?"

Sword Douluo shook his head heavily, sighing helplessly, "The Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul is inherently a mutated one. As far as we know, Feng Xiaotian is the only person with that martial soul! However, the person from last night had a soul power level as high as 89! And the soul ring configuration was even more outrageous: two purple, five black, and one red!"

"You mean that person is definitely not Feng Xiaotian?"

"Feng Xiaotian should still be at Godwind Academy in Godwind City, 150 kilometers away from Tiandou City! And he is only a four-ringed Soul Ancestor... Sigh~" Sword Douluo shook his head with a sigh.

Ning Fengzhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, struggling to calm himself down.

After several breaths, Ning Fengzhi asked, "How is Uncle Gu? Are his injuries severe?"

"With a healing-type soul master, he has already recovered quite well."

"Haa... Uncle Jian, continue the investigation! Focus specifically on Feng Xiaotian! I believe this matter must be connected to him! I must ensure they are left without a place to be buried!"

"Understood."

In the following days, Tiandou City was far from peaceful.

When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stomped its foot, it could influence every aspect of the two great empires and Martial Soul Hall. The term "wealth rivaling a nation" when applied to the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce was no joke.

Ning Rongrong ran back to the sect in worry, but upon failing to see her father, her heart grew even more anxious.

And then!

Just as Ning Rongrong returned to Shrek Academy from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she heard rumors spreading on the roadside: Ning Fengzhi had been castrated!

"My... my dad... what... what happened?"

BOOM!

In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck the crown of Ning Rongrong's head! Her entire person seemed to have been hit with a pause button, standing dazed in the middle of the road. She didn't know whether to call him Father or Mother in the future.

Once the news broke, this new storm became even more turbulent.

The entire Tiandou City was shaken, and countless people widened their eyes in shock!

They couldn't help but discuss it in private: that Sect Master, whose face was like jade, who was refined and gentle, whose demeanor was composed, and whose words carried natural majesty without losing warmth—had he really been castrated just like that? Would the Sect Master start gesturing with orchid fingers from now on?

Dugu Yan gave Ozka another thumbs-up, exclaiming: You're truly bold! You even dared to rub salt in the wound!

When Ning Fengzhi heard this news, he immediately concluded that the culprit was still hiding within Tiandou City! He ordered the entire city to be locked down.

As the matter grew increasingly chaotic, Qian Renxue rubbed her temples, feeling quite a headache. Facing a crazed Ning Fengzhi, she had no good solution.

Therefore!

Qian Renxue claimed she needed to go into seclusion to cultivate the Yijin Jing, leaving the matter of Ning Fengzhi's madness for Emperor Xueye to handle himself.

"Uncle She, do you think this was done by the person suspected to be Feng Xiaotian? After all, the Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul is a mutated one! Aside from Feng Xiaotian and that other person suspected to be him, there shouldn't be a third person in existence who possesses the Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul."

"This... no need to guess! I am ten parts certain that it was absolutely him! His strength is sufficient to pull off such a feat!"

Qian Renxue gave a bitter smile: "Truly daring... However, well done! Uncle She, send men to find them. I have a premonition that they are hiding a massive secret."

A few more days passed, and the storm had yet to fully subside.

Dugu Yan returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to continue her studies, having been warned not to expose her hundred-thousand-year fourth ring or her Soul Spirit.

"Sister Yanyan, you're back!" Yu Tianheng approached her.

"Mm." Dugu Yan gave a faint acknowledgment, thinking to herself: Tianheng was originally excellent, but...

After witnessing a much broader world, the filter in Dugu Yan's heart had shattered! Yu Tianheng's talent was nothing compared to the prodigies of the Immortal Court.

"You must be Yu Tianheng!"

Just as Yu Tianheng was about to take Dugu Yan's hand, a silver-haired head suddenly appeared between the two of them.

"Feng Xiaotian!" Yu Tianheng blurted out.

"Damn it! I even covered my nose and mouth, how did I get recognized at a glance again? What is going on! Damn!" Feng Xiaodi looked speechless, pulling off his mask.

Beside them, Dugu Yan leaned toward Feng Xiaodi and whispered an explanation: "That... actually, Feng Xiaotian's common appearance involves covering his nose and mouth, leaving only his eyes visible."

"Uh..."

Feng Xiaodi's mouth twitched.

"Yan'er!"

At this moment, seeing Dugu Yan so close to Feng Xiaodi, Yu Tianheng grabbed Dugu Yan's arm and pulled her over.

"What are you doing?" Dugu Yan asked, somewhat displeased.

"Why were you standing so close to him?" Yu Tianheng's tone carried a hint of interrogation.

Feng Xiaodi's gaze shifted suspiciously between the two, and he asked skeptically: "Damn! Dugu Yan, you two aren't a couple, are you?"

"Mm." Dugu Yan nodded lightly, her cheeks turning slightly red.

"Daaamn~! Impressive~"

Feng Xiaodi dragged out the syllables for a long time and gave a thumbs-up, turning Dugu Yan's face a deep shade of red.

Yu Tianheng said unhappily: "Feng Xiaotian, why are you here?"

Feng Xiaotian was a student of Godwind Academy, and since Godwind Academy was not in Tiandou City, his presence here was very strange.

"Nothing, I just came to look around, and to see Ye Lingling."

"Ye Lingling?" Yu Tianheng stared at Feng Xiaodi suspiciously, then suddenly chuckled: "What? A change of heart?"

Feng Xiaodi shrugged. He didn't know the specifics of Feng Xiaotian's situation, so he didn't say much, as saying more would only lead to more mistakes.

Dugu Yan helped Feng Xiaodi by asking: "Is Lingling at the academy?"

"Not here! Didn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have an incident? Hehe, they invited Ye Lingling and her grandfather over to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Speaking of this, a teasing smile hung on Yu Tianheng's lips, his face full of schadenfreude.

"That's a pity then. Goodbye."

Having failed to see the Nine Heart Begonia user Ye Lingling, Feng Xiaodi took his leave directly, adding as an afterthought: "Right, Dugu Yan, you really should carefully consider your other half!"

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Tianheng's soul power instantly surged out of control, his right arm transforming into a dragon claw.

Feng Xiaodi ignored him completely, flashing away and vanishing.

If it had been Yu Tianshu standing there, Feng Xiaodi might have wanted to spar. But since it was the Yu Tianheng from World No. 1, who could be swatted hundreds of meters away with a single slap, Feng Xiaodi had absolutely no interest!

"He vanished! So fast!" Yu Tianheng was shocked; just now, he hadn't even seen how Feng Xiaodi had left.

With Feng Xiaodi gone, Yu Tianheng glared at Dugu Yan and demanded: "Dugu Yan, since when did you get so close to Feng Xiaotian?"

Dugu Yan frowned, clearly displeased with Yu Tianheng's tone and attitude.

"I'm not close to him."

"Not close? Who are you trying to fool!"

Dugu Yan's frown deepened, and she said unhappily: "Yu Tianheng, what is your problem?"

"If you aren't close to him, would you lean in so near? Whispering into his ear? If you aren't close, would he tell you to carefully consider your other half? Is that something someone says to a stranger? Huh? Tell me!"

Dugu Yan remained silent for a long time, a bitter feeling rising in her heart.

She had only spoken a few words to Feng Xiaodi, yet she was being interrogated by Yu Tianheng! Was this jealousy, or did he feel threatened?

"Haa..." Dugu Yan let out a long sigh and said softly: "Yu Tianheng, I really need to carefully consider the relationship between us!"

"You..." Yu Tianheng froze, suddenly realizing what he had done. Anxiety and regret flooded his heart: How could I have lost my head like that? How could I lose my temper with her? If I lose the support of Yanyan's grandfather, Yu Tianxin will definitely fight me for the position of Young Sect Master again! No! I absolutely cannot lose Dugu Bo!

"Let's both calm down." With that, Dugu Yan turned and walked away.

"Yan'er, wait for me, that's not what I meant! Listen to my explanation!"

Dugu Yan turned her head back, her tone icy: "Yu Tianheng, don't follow me! Spend these next few days focusing on your cultivation! We'll talk once you've calmed down."

"Yan'er, wait for me, listen to my explanation."

"Don't follow me!"
