The Wronged Ning Fengzhi

After slaying Dugu Yan, neither Xie Yue nor Qian Yu left the spot, choosing instead to conceal their figures and wait in silence.

"Xiao Yu, what exactly are we waiting for here?"

Xie Yue was somewhat confused.

They had already obtained everything they came for; this was the time to leave.

After all, no one could be certain if an accident might occur next.

"Waiting for an unexpected variable!"

"If we really manage to wait for it, perhaps we can take this opportunity to obtain another Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone of sufficient quality."

The person Qian Yu was referring to was naturally Yu Tianheng.

Although it was uncertain, this kind of thing was still worth a gamble.

Perhaps Yu Tianheng was carrying a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone on his person.

They waited for an entire day.

Yet, the person they were waiting for never appeared.

"No way, is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really this cold-blooded?"

Qian Yu had never expected this outcome.

He had thought that Yu Tianheng would at least rush out to chase after Dugu Yan, if only to provide her with a reasonable explanation.

If that had happened, they could have ambushed Yu Tianheng.

Perhaps they could have ensured he remained here permanently.

Although Xie Yue's current strength was inferior to Yu Tianheng's, there were still many ways to ensure his complete demise.

However, Yu Tianheng never showed up.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Qian Yu was also very surprised by this.

Since the person they wanted hadn't arrived, and things had reached this point, there was no point in them staying in this situation.

The two then quietly returned to their previous location.

They found Lüzhu, preparing to take her to hunt for a Soul Ring.

Qian Yu did not know that shortly after they had left, a group of people had found Dugu Yan.

They were there to intercept and kill Dugu Yan.

This group had been sent by Yu Xiaogang.

His goal was the same as Qian Yu's: to make Dugu Yan disappear from this world.

He, Yu Xiaogang, was never someone to be trifled with.

After being cursed at by Dugu Yan like that, did he not have his own dignity?

Now, he was a God Teacher.

For the sake of his reputation and to ensure his nephew could better develop the clan, Yu Xiaogang decided to play the villain himself.

However, none of these people expected that when they rushed to the destination, their target would already be dead.

The group discussed the matter.

Since the target was already dead, their mission was effectively complete.

As for who had killed her, was that really important?

All they needed was to complete the mission and receive their payment.

If Qian Yu had known all this, he would surely have slapped his thigh in regret.

He had been just a few hours away from gathering the intelligence he wanted.

But what was missed was missed.

Under these circumstances, there was nothing to lament.

Moreover, Qian Yu was still unaware of all this.

Subsequently, under the protection of Xie Yue, Qian Yu took Lüzhu to hunt for a Soul Ring.

Lüzhu had consumed Whale Rubber, practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye, and had even consumed immortal herbs.

Both her mental strength and physical constitution were sufficient to hunt for a Soul Ring beyond the standard age limit.

However, Qian Yu also knew that Lüzhu's foundation was not yet deep enough to support the absorption of a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring.

Therefore, he did not force it.

After a painstaking search, he finally found the target he needed.

A six-thousand-year-old Vajra Bamboo.

For the current Lüzhu, it was perfectly suitable.

The soul hunt was a success in no time at all.

Lüzhu obtained an incredibly powerful soul skill.

Following this, the group did not return to Heaven Dou City, but instead headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

After so many events had occurred in succession, Heaven Dou City was destined to be unsafe for the time being.

As such, it was better to avoid the sharp edge of the conflict for a while.

Just as Qian Yu was heading toward the Star Dou Great Forest, another conflict erupted in Heaven Dou City.

Back when the letter from Qian Renxue had reached the hands of Ning Fengzhi, he had not deliberated for long before making his decision: to gather the remnants of the Martial Soul Hall.

Given his status, he was still capable of accomplishing such things.

As he continued to gather them, Ning Fengzhi discovered that the people from the Martial Soul Hall possessed Martial Souls of extraordinary quality.

His decision was absolutely correct.

Because of this, he became increasingly invested in the matter.

He also harbored a deep longing for the inherited Martial Soul of the Martial Soul Hall, the Six-Winged Angel.

However, Ning Fengzhi knew that this was an impossibility.

In this current era, aside from Qian Renxue, where else could one find a so-called Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?

After all, that Martial Soul was passed down through a single bloodline.

Consequently, Ning Fengzhi set his sights on those who possessed other Angel Martial Souls.

In this day and age, there were still some who possessed the Two-Winged Angel.

Moreover, he knew that such existences could be found in a certain place.

Specifically, under the command of the Heaven Dou Emperor, Xue Beng.

Thus, Ning Fengzhi sought out Xue Beng to explain his objective.

He intended to trade resources in exchange for a portion of those who possessed the Angel Martial Soul.

Ning Fengzhi felt that he still held enough influence to make this request.

But very quickly, he realized the truth.

In the eyes of Xue Beng, he no longer possessed any so-called influence at all.

Or rather, Xue Beng simply did not hold him in any regard.

"Sect Master Ning, logically speaking, since you have come to me with such a request,"

"I naturally would not refuse!"

"But we must carefully weigh the implications of this matter!"

"In the past, you supported my elder brother—or rather, the one known as Qian Renxue. If I recall correctly, she was even your disciple."

"Who can guarantee that there isn't some special connection between you two?"

"Now that you want to gather the descendants of the Angel clan, it is hard for me not to be suspicious!"

Xue Beng looked at the Ning Fengzhi before him, his face filled with mockery and ridicule.

If this were the Ning Fengzhi of the past, he wouldn't even have been qualified to carry the man's shoes.

But the current Ning Fengzhi was truly nothing.

A support-type soul master, and merely a Soul Saint at that; no matter how much resentment he held in his heart, he had to endure it in front of him.

"What is this, Your Majesty Xue Beng? Do you think that because I, Ning Fengzhi, have fallen on hard times, you can try to suppress me?"

Facing such blunt and naked sarcasm, Ning Fengzhi's heart was filled with fury.

This was truly not taking him seriously at all.

Indeed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had declined, but it still carried weight.

One had to remember that both his daughter and his son-in-law were Title Douluo, and they were even beings who had inherited the legacies of gods.

"Sect Master Ning is joking."

"You are an elder; how could I not give you face?"

"Even if not for the sake of my teacher, I must at least consider the face of Sausage Douluo. I naturally will not refuse the task you have entrusted to me."

"However, when it concerns the remnants of the Martial Soul Hall, I must be cautious!"

"I will communicate this matter with the other major powers. If they all agree, I will make arrangements immediately."

Xue Beng maintained an air of official business.

The implication was already crystal clear.

Ning Fengzhi had never suffered such humiliation before.
