Xu Qing vs. the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?!

"Out of concern for my daughter, I wonder if the Dean has seen my little girl?"

"If Rongrong is indeed in your academy, then I ask the Dean to hand over my daughter and give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect an explanation."

Though Ning Fengzhi's words sounded polite, he had effectively brought out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's name, carrying a hint of pressure in his questioning.

Everyone present could not help holding their breath and pricking up their ears as they waited for Xu Qing's answer.

Dai Weisi of the Star Luo Empire narrowed his eyes, an amused curve on his lips.

Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect also temporarily set aside the matter of his son's severed arm and watched vigilantly.

Faced with Ning Fengzhi's public questioning, Xu Qing did not even raise his eyelids.

He merely stood quietly where he was. Not even the slightest ripple could be seen in his deep black eyes, like ancient wells.

Seeing Xu Qing remain silent for so long, Sword and Bone Douluo behind Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's intentions.

Courtesy first, force afterward.

The Sect Master had already shown due courtesy, yet the Dean of this Blue Silver Academy was acting so arrogantly. Did he truly think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was made of clay?

Boom!

Two vast auras belonging to Title Douluo erupted without warning from Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

Sword qi shot into the sky around Chen Xin, while the incomparably sharp Seven Kill Sword Intent carved deep, crisscrossing ravines into the ground.

Behind Gu Rong, the phantom of a gigantic, savage Bone Dragon emerged. Chilling deathly energy spread across the entire scene, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

The two pressures met in midair, forming an invisible giant net that bore straight down on Xu Qing.

"You charlatan! The Sect Master asked you a question. Are you deaf?"

Bone Douluo's rough voice, like a broken gong, thundered through the air. He looked ready to tear the gates apart if another word was spoken wrong.

Qian Daoliu, who stood nearby, instantly raised his two golden brows.

"Insolence!"

Qian Daoliu shouted, and the crimson-gold armor around him erupted with a radiance more dazzling than the sun.

The phantom of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul flickered behind him, while his ninety-ninth-level Soul Power surged and roiled like a tsunami.

He would never allow anyone to run wild before this unfathomable senior.

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to act and suppress these two Title Douluo who knew neither heaven nor earth with thunderous means,

a fair, slender hand slowly reached out and gently stopped him.

Qian Daoliu shuddered. The surging golden light around his body instantly withdrew, and he obediently returned to his place, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Xu Qing lowered his hand and casually swept his gaze across Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluo bristling with hostility.

His azure robes swayed faintly in the wind.

"Ning Rongrong is indeed at Blue Silver Academy."

Xu Qing finally spoke.

His clear, gentle voice was like a stream flowing over bluestones, devoid of the slightest ripple.

At those words, Ning Fengzhi's pupils abruptly contracted, and his heart leaped into his throat.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo tensed all over, the nine soul rings behind them ready to erupt at any moment.

Yet the latter half of Xu Qing's words was like a ladle of cold water poured into a boiling cauldron of oil.

"However, she cannot see you right now."

Xu Qing's tone was calm, as though he were merely stating some trivial matter.

He naturally knew full well.

That little girl who had secretly slipped into the academy had just received the pure life force he had bestowed upon her. Her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was undergoing a complete transformation and was about to evolve into the legendary Nine-Story Pagoda.

At such a critical moment of seclusion, how could anyone be allowed to disturb her?

But to the three members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, those words took on an entirely different meaning.

She was with him, yet could not see them?

What did that mean?

Had she been imprisoned? Had her cultivation been crippled? Or perhaps... had she already suffered some cruel fate and was now hanging between life and death?

The ever-gentle mask on Ning Fengzhi's face shattered instantly, and red veins appeared in his eyes from anxiety.

"Xu Qing! What have you done to my Rongrong?!"

Ning Fengzhi could no longer remain calm and shouted in utter loss of composure.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes turned red as well.

He had always doted on that little demoness, spoiling her as if she were his own granddaughter. How could he endure such a provocation?

"You bastard! If I do not see Rongrong today, then even if it costs me this old life, I will level your Blue Silver Academy to the ground!"

The Seven Kill Sword let out an earth-shaking, crystalline sword cry, and terrifying killing intent locked directly onto Xu Qing's brow.

Seeing this from his pool of blood, Yu Xiaogang could not help letting out a piercing, maniacal laugh, even though the pain made his facial features twitch.

"Hahaha! Sect Master Ning! Didn't I tell you so?"

Yu Xiaogang spat blood foam as he mocked them madly.

"This brat is nothing but a beast in human clothing!"

"Now that your daughter has fallen into his hands, she must be more dead than alive!"

"Kill him! Two seniors of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, hurry and kill him to uphold justice!"

Yu Xiaogang's clamor was like pouring oil onto the flames.

The Soul Power around Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had already risen to its peak, and violent air currents sent the surrounding tables and chairs flying into pieces.

The entire back mountain of Blue Silver Academy rumbled beneath this pressure.

The leaders of the various factions summoned their martial souls one after another and swiftly retreated to a safe distance, afraid of being drawn into this melee between Title Douluo.

Facing this terrifying threat, enough to destroy an entire city,

Xu Qing still stood with his hands behind his back.

He neither summoned his martial soul nor used any defensive soul skill.

Not even the faintest muscle on his handsome, otherworldly face changed.

Xu Qing looked down at the frantic Ning Fengzhi and Sword and Bone Douluo. At last, a trace of cold disdain appeared in his eyes.

He slowly spoke.

Each word weighed a thousand pounds.

"You want me to give an explanation?"

"Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect even worthy?"

Xu Qing's calm words echoed clearly across the deathly silent square.

At that instant, everyone held their breath.

After a brief dead silence, an uncontrollable uproar immediately erupted all around them.

Dai Weisi, the prince of the Star Luo Empire, abruptly turned his head and stared at the attendant beside him.

"Did I hear that correctly?"

"This Xu Qing actually dared speak to Ning Fengzhi like that?"

The attendant repeatedly wiped the cold sweat seeping from his forehead, his voice trembling.

"Your Highness, Blue Silver Academy must have gone completely mad."

"That is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"One of the wealthiest Upper Three Sects in the world, with no fewer than two Super Douluo renowned across the land stationed within!"

"Blue Silver Academy is merely some insignificant place deep in the mountains and forests. What could it possibly use to contend head-on with such a colossal force?"

On the other side, Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, also furrowed his brow deeply.

Ning Fengzhi was his teacher.

He understood the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundations better than anyone present.

Even if Blue Silver Academy had several maids with profound cultivation, once it truly fell out with two Super Douluo, it would absolutely gain no advantage.

"Arrogant! He is simply courting death!"
