Tang San was very puzzled, but felt this truly was an opportunity. "Everyone, please don't panic. Rongrong just has a hard time accepting the cause of Xiao Wu's death and is taking a bit of a hit right now."
"However, I still hope Mr. Wang might consider my proposal. After all, troubling Sect Master Ning right now isn't the best idea."
"Thank you for Mr. Tang's good intentions, but I still wish to choose the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, you all came here because of Sect Master Ning's request. If we were to reject Miss Ning at a time like this, wouldn't we be acting far too tactless?"
The Dragon Slayer's words struck right at the center of Tang San's heart. Tang San never expected this person to be so utterly tactless. Didn't he fear that he would kill them all right here? Or did he possess the strength not to fear him?
Although all these possibilities existed, right now was not the time to deal with them. Furthermore, they were still members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his own teacher's sect. If he truly let them be, it might also cause massive damage to his reputation.
"I understand this Mr. Wang's concerns, but I hope you will consider my proposal."
Tang San had not yet given up on contending for these free disciples, and while they were chatting, Ning Rongrong also sobered up.
"Tang San, what are you saying? These people belong to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Rongrong's tone was obviously somewhat different from before, carrying an aggressive yet chilly sensation. This aura made Tang San somewhat fearful, and the emergence of this emotion left him somewhat dazed-he actually found himself feeling afraid.
"Rongrong, what's wrong with you? I didn't say we had to win over these people, I merely gave them more choices. Surely you can't deprive others of their right to choose?"
Although somewhat afraid, Tang San still argued with Ning Rongrong. After all, so many talents were hard to come by and sought after.
Yet Ning Rongrong grew even angrier because of Tang San's sophistry. "Are you trying to go against me? Tang San, do you look down on me now? Is it because I no longer have the sect as my background that you've already lost interest in me, or have already failed to get what you wanted from me, and therefore want to leave?"
Tang San's conspiracy was seen through by Ning Rongrong without the slightest hesitation, but it was quickly met with Tang San's denial. "How can you think of me that way? Rongrong, I definitely engaged myself to you because I love you."
"Stop putting on an act. Since bringing Xiao Wu back, how many times have you two interacted? Do you really take me for a fool? Even though you've been meeting behind my back, Xiao Wu always tells me every time, saying she doesn't want to wrong me."
This Xiao Wu, actually siding with outsiders. Tang San felt a trace of anger in his heart that she failed to meet expectations. Clearly he was Xiao Wu's lover, so why did Xiao Wu side with Ning Rongrong like this? First it was Li Pei, and now it was Ning Rongrong-did Xiao Wu have no place for him in her heart?
"I merely spoke with Xiao Wu about dealing with Spirit Hall, not what you're imagining. Besides, if I were truly romancing Xiao Wu, would Xiao Wu tell you? Because telling you like that would only hurt you more, wouldn't it?"
"So what if you did? The fact that you two met in secret has already become reality. As long as you sneak around behind my back to see other women, you've betrayed me. Can I still trust someone like you?"
Ning Rongrong developed doubts toward Tang San. After all, Tang San had approached her in the first place because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was gone, why was Tang San still staying by her side? What was left on her that Tang San needed?
"Why can't you trust me? I'm your fiancé, after all. If you truly don't trust me, we can get married right now and become a family."
Tang San began to panic slightly. If he failed to persuade and comfort Ning Rongrong here, he would lose Ning Fengzhi's assistance, a scene Tang San absolutely did not wish to see.
"You're lying, you're all lying." Because of absorbing a large amount of Wuxie's power, Ning Rongrong was now in a somewhat crazed state. The current Ning Rongrong could not hear anyone's voice; if one wanted to calm her down, the only way was through the submission of force.
Yet it was a great pity that none of the people present were stronger than Ning Rongrong. Although Tang San could manage it, wanting to stop a Ning Rongrong like this would drain his dwindling divine power.
Ning Rongrong no longer trusted Tang San. To Tang San, there was no difference whether Ning Rongrong lived or died here. Therefore, he would never expend this precious power for Ning Rongrong.
Precisely because of Tang San's slight hesitation, even the previously clear sky turned pitch-black. At this moment, the people present finally sensed that something was amiss and began fleeing in all directions.
Shangguan Li and Shaohua also emerged at this time, and coming along with them was Little Pear. This time it was to confirm whether Little Pear and Wuxie's powers mutually clashed.
"Elder Sister, stand behind me." Although Xiaolin knew that both Shaohua and Shangguan Li possessed the ability to protect themselves, as long as he stood by their side, he instinctively wanted to protect Shangguan Li.
Shangguan Li smiled. "Don't worry, Little Pear, I'll protect myself well. But what's going on with this Ning Rongrong? How did she suddenly burst out like this?"
"I don't know. We just arrived and saw a scene like this." Shaohua was also quite puzzled. She had clearly been a stable presence just a moment ago before suddenly erupting-could it be that Tang San's betrayal had left Ning Rongrong mentally disoriented?
Shangguan Li said, "No matter what, we have to stop her here. Otherwise Heaven Dou City will be in danger."
Shangguan Li exchanged a glance with Shaohua. "First Spirit Skill, Moon Sun Silk Binding." In order to prevent Ning Rongrong from escaping, she had to immobilize her first. However, Shangguan Li somewhat underestimated Ning Rongrong's current strength; her first spirit skill was easily shattered by Ning Rongrong.
"Elder Sister, use that divine artifact, the Sea God Trident. This young lady right now has been corrupted by Wuxie's power and carries a portion of divine might. You won't be able to trap her with spirit skills from Douluo Continent."
Shangguan Li nodded, and a trident radiating golden light quickly appeared in her right hand. "Fixed Storm."
The power of divinity truly proved formidable. Although it lasted only three seconds, Ning Rongrong was still trapped in place.
Yet now Ning Rongrong was merely trapped there, unable to do anything else. The first thing Shangguan Li considered was the problem of the soul.
"Do you have any way to purify Ning Rongrong's soul?" Shangguan Li asked Shaohua, since such matters were best asked of someone familiar with them.
Shaohua shook her head. "Didn't I say that earlier? Once someone is touched and controlled by that power, there is only one way to grant them release, and that is to end their life."
