Probing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

The next morning.

The crowd coming to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena was noticeably much larger than usual, making it exceptionally lively.

Even though Su Mo and her companions had only participated in a single match yesterday, after the ferment of the greater part of a day, the monikers of Asura and the Spider Emperor were already renowned, spreading to factions of all sizes throughout the entire Heaven Dou City.

Among this swarming crowd, most were scouts from major factions within or near Heaven Dou City.

They had only one purpose: to sniff out information on the two Asuras, and even to find opportunities to win them over.

Before long, under the cover of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Su Mo and Bibi Dong quietly appeared on a street not far from the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Golden Crocodile Douluo then restrained his aura and concealed himself in the shadows, guarding them secretly.

As the two of them walked into the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, they instantly attracted countless gazes.

Su Mo didn't care about this in the least, pulling Bibi Dong straight toward the registration desk to directly sign up for a two-on-two group soul duel.

This time, their soul-fighting venue was arranged at the number two sub-arena.

Once the information spread, the spectator stands of the number two arena instantly became packed to capacity, and even the aisles and guardrails were crowded with people.

The opponents of Su Mo and his partner were not strong, being a male and female duo.

One of them was a level-fifty-three control-system battle Spirit King, while the other was a level-fifty-two power-system battle Spirit King.

The ending had no suspense.

Su Mo still did not release his martial soul, relying solely on soul power turned into a sword coupled with his External Soul Bone, coordinating with Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor poison to easily take the victory.

The cheers in the arena rose and fell in waves.

Inside a VIP box of the Great Soul Arena.

"Chen Xin, what do you think of them?"

Sitting on the soft sofa, Ning Mingyuan took in everything happening below at a single glance through the one-way glass.

His gaze consistently landed on those two young figures on the stage.

Chen Xin stood behind the sofa, his white robes purer than snow, his hands behind his back, and said indifferently:

"Asura has already reached the realm of Sword Intent, and has reached its peak. He perhaps only needs a single opportunity to step into the realm of Sword Domain. This boy's talent in the path of the sword is truly not bad."

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Ning Mingyuan's eyes. "Even you give such an evaluation. It seems this boy is indeed extraordinary."

Ning Mingyuan stood up and tidied his robes. "Let's go, let's go meet them."

The two left the box.

Su Mo and Bibi Dong had just walked out of the passageway when they saw several people walking toward them.

Walking at the very front was an elder with a scholarly temperament, a benevolent face, and a gentle smile hanging at the corners of his mouth.

Following behind was a middle-aged man in white with a stern face, an upright posture, and steady steps.

At that exact moment, the voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo's spiritual transmission rang in Su Mo's mind:

"Xiao Mo, they are people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The elder at the head is Sect Master Ning Mingyuan, and the white-robed middle-aged man behind him is their sect-protecting Douluo, the level-ninety-three Sword Douluo Chen Xin."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Su Mo's heart stirred slightly.

As for Ning Mingyuan, he didn't understand him at all, but as for the future sect master Ning Fengzhi, he was exceedingly familiar with him.

A troublemaker with no real strength who always liked to leap up and down among various factions, stirring up wind and rain.

Su Mo had no intention of dodging either, stopping in his tracks to quietly watch the other party approach.

Ning Mingyuan stopped three meters away from the two of them, his gaze sweeping over Su Mo and Bibi Dong with a trademark gentle smile on his face.

"Little brother Asura, lady Spider Emperor, greetings. This old man is Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Mingyuan. Yesterday, I accidentally heard that two astonishingly talented geniuses had come to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, and my heart was truly full of curiosity, so I thought of coming to get acquainted.

Seeing both of your graceful demeanors today, this old man truly admires you. I wonder if the two of you might step aside to have a chat?"

Ning Mingyuan bowed slightly, putting his posture extremely low, his tone gentle and sincere, not at all resembling a helmsman who controlled the most prosperous sect on the continent, instead looking much more like a kind neighborly elder.

Chen Xin quietly stood behind Ning Mingyuan without uttering a word, only having his gaze occasionally fall upon Su Mo's mask with a hint of scrutiny.

Su Mo said indifferently, "Let's go."

The smile on Ning Mingyuan's face deepened a bit, and he turned sideways with a gesture of invitation. "Please, the two of you."

The few of them passed through the corridor and returned to that VIP box.

"Please sit, the two of you," Ning Mingyuan greeted.

Su Mo stood on no ceremony, pulling Bibi Dong to sit down on the sofa.

Bibi Dong leaned beside him, appearing not to care much about all of this.

At this time, Ning Mingyuan picked up the teapot and personally poured a cup of tea for each of Su Mo and Bibi Dong.

"This is newly picked tea from this year, have a taste, the two of you." Ning Mingyuan made an inviting gesture, then as if asking casually, "I wonder where the two of you hail from?"

Su Mo picked up his teacup and took a sip, saying indifferently, "Wild countryside, not worth mentioning."

Ning Mingyuan didn't press further, continuing with a beaming smile, "Then I wonder who little friend Asura's master is? To have such attainments in swordsmanship, your esteemed master must surely be no ordinary figure."

"I figured it out myself," Su Mo replied casually.

Ning Mingyuan laughed heartily. "Little friend is truly a heaven-gifted talent, able to reach the peak of Sword Intent without a teacher. This old man admires you."

Su Mo stated bluntly, "Sect Master Ning, if you have something to say, feel free to speak."

Ning Mingyuan was slightly startled, then laughed heartily. "Little brother Asura is indeed straightforward. Since that's the case, this old man won't beat around the bush."

His gaze shifted, landing on Bibi Dong, and he said with a chuckle:

"Lady Spider Emperor's soul ring configuration is truly unheard of. This old man has lived for the greater part of his life, and this is still the first time I've seen it."

"I wonder how lady Spider Emperor accomplished it? If you are willing to inform me, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will definitely produce something that satisfies the two of you in exchange."

Bibi Dong said indifferently, "Sorry, Sect Master Ning, no comment."

Ning Mingyuan wasn't annoyed either, laughing heartily. "Fine, it was this old man being abrupt. Such secret techniques are indeed not things that can be easily shown to others."

His words took a turn, and he asked again, "Then I wonder if the two little friends have joined any factions?"

"No," Su Mo replied.

Ning Mingyuan's tone turned sincere. "Since that's the case, I wonder if the two of you are willing to join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? If the two of you are willing to come, this old man will definitely mobilize the entire strength of the sect to cultivate you."

Su Mo said indifferently, "Many thanks for Sect Master Ning's kind intentions, but we have no plans to join any factions for the time being."

"Very well. If the two of you change your minds in the future, the doors of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will always be open to you."

Su Mo nodded slightly. "Many thanks, Sect Master Ning. If there is nothing else, we will be leaving first."

Ning Mingyuan laughed heartily, standing up to see them out.

He personally escorted the two of them to the door of the box, watching their figures disappear at the end of the corridor.

Once those two figures completely vanished, the smile on Ning Mingyuan's face abruptly faded.

"How does the Sect Master find them?" Chen Xin asked indifferently.

"There isn't a single word of truth in that kid's mouth," Ning Mingyuan sneered. "What coming from the wild countryside and figuring out the swordsmanship himself? Who is he trying to fool?

And think about it, they exposed such a huge secret yesterday, yet today they still dare to appear so blatantly, not caring in the least about the informants of various factions.

Either they are newborn calves unafraid of tigers, or they have something to lean on behind them and simply don't put these people in their eyes.

In my view, the latter possibility is much greater."

Chen Xin nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

If ordinary soul masters had exposed such earth-shattering secrets in a public place, they would definitely choose to lie low and avoid the limelight.

Yet these two were fine; the second day they swaggered back, and even fought a second match. This composure and confidence were definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.

"What does the Sect Master plan to do?" Chen Xin asked.

"Keep an eye on them first, figure out their background before talking." Ning Mingyuan pondered for a moment. "Chen Xin, when they leave, you follow them personally."

Chen Xin furrowed his brows slightly. "But I still have to protect your safety, Sect Master..."

"Within this Heaven Dou City, no one dares to make a move against this old man so blatantly." Ning Mingyuan waved his hand. "Set your mind at ease and go; the origins of these two people must be thoroughly investigated."

"Very well." Chen Xin nodded, saying no more.
