Alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

"Oh? May I ask what brings this Titled Douluo here?" Sword Douluo held the Seven Kill Sword horizontally before Ning Fengzhi.

"Relax, I mean no harm." Ye Xunfeng smiled. "I only wish to discuss a deal with Young Sect Master Ning."

"A deal?" Ning Fengzhi's brows drew together slightly as he looked at the man before him with curiosity.

Sword Douluo did not retract his Martial Soul, instead keeping it at his side in case anything happened.

After a moment of silence, Ye Xunfeng slowly released his Wishing Angel Spirit. Eight wings fluttered behind his back.

"You're from Spirit Hall?" Sword Douluo immediately aimed his sword at him again, but the next moment, his Martial Soul dissipated from the surge of Soul Power.

It was simply too terrifying—three black and six red.

"How did you achieve those Soul Rings?" Sword Douluo asked, his face filled with disbelief.

"Your Excellency Sword Douluo Chen Xin, you should know the colors of Qian Daoliu's Soul Rings. In a sense, he is my father." Ye Xunfeng crossed his arms and spoke.

"May I ask what you wish to say, Your Excellency? And what cooperation do you seek from us?" Ning Fengzhi asked from behind Sword Douluo.

"I have a grudge against Qian Xunji. Before long, I may very well go to his door. Don't worry, I'm not asking you to go with me. I only hope that if I truly defeat Qian Xunji, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will cooperate with me." Ye Xunfeng smiled.

"What benefit would that bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" After hesitating briefly, Ning Fengzhi got straight to the point.

"During my time in power, and including my future children, Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can maintain a friendly relationship. Also, if I have a son in the future and you have a daughter, we can choose to arrange a marriage alliance." Ye Xunfeng smiled calmly.

Among the Upper Three Sects, the only one truly useful to Spirit Hall was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Moreover, among the Upper Three Sects, it was the place Ye Xunfeng had felt had the fewest lunatics when he watched the animation.

And if he attacked Spirit Hall, he would certainly need solid achievements in order to firmly secure the position of Pope.

After all, in a sense, even though he truly carried the bloodline of the Angel Clan and was Qian Daoliu's son, he had not grown up in Spirit Hall. In some people's eyes, he might still be considered an outsider.

In any case, making an extra preparation was better than doing nothing at all.

Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a while before Sword Douluo beside him could not help asking, "May I ask how old you are this year?"

"Nineteen." Ye Xunfeng did not care in the slightest how much shock those words would bring the others.

Sword Douluo suddenly seemed to think of something and nodded to Ning Fengzhi beside him.

Seeing Sword Douluo's reaction, Ning Fengzhi said, "We are willing to cooperate with you. And if you fail, you may come find us. As long as Spirit Hall does not discover your whereabouts, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to be your retreat."

Ye Xunfeng froze, not expecting the other party to give him such an unexpected surprise.

"Then many thanks, Young Sect Master Ning." Ye Xunfeng smiled. "If I can become the Pope of Spirit Hall in the future, I can give Young Sect Master Ning a surprise related to Martial Souls. However, I cannot be certain yet. I need to consult some of Spirit Hall's records to confirm this guess."

Ye Xunfeng seemed to think of something and gave a soft laugh.

After pondering for a while, Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought of something as well, and his eyes instantly lit up. "Good. Then I'll await good news from Brother Ye."

Ye Xunfeng smiled, then lightly snapped his fingers. His first Soul Ring lit up. "First Soul Skill, Angel Prayer."

Two streams of light descended upon the two of them, instantly healing all the minor injuries they had sustained earlier.

Sword Douluo felt that even the subtle old injuries he had suffered before had healed by more than half.

Ye Xunfeng smiled. "Consider this a small gift for my allies. I'll take my leave first."

Ye Xunfeng flapped his wings and slowly descended beside Dugu Bo, quietly waiting for him to finish absorbing the Soul Ring.

He suddenly thought of something, walked over to the Medusa, released the Atlas Spear, and prodded at its skull twice. There was a head Soul Bone there.

Using his Soul Power, Ye Xunfeng drew the Soul Bone into his hand and placed it beside Dugu Bo.

Although a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was indeed of decent quality, it was far too low-grade in his eyes, and Medusa's attributes did not suit him either.

About two hours later, Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes. His hand clenched in an instant, producing a sharp explosion of air.

"Take the Soul Bone back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then absorb it yourself." Ye Xunfeng patted his shoulder and smiled.

"You're planning to..."

"It's time for me to set off as well." Ye Xunfeng smiled.

However, he had no idea what a huge upheaval that letter had caused in the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Wei and the Clear Sky Sect's other seven elders were currently seated in the council hall, discussing the matter.

"Sect Master, no matter the reason, we cannot possibly apologize to a mere Titled Douluo. Even Tang Hao had first set his sights on a Titled Douluo's woman. Shouldn't he have known better than to hand her over?" Seventh Elder Tang Lie slammed the table, his eyes bloodshot.

"Yes, he is simply grinding the Clear Sky Sect's dignity into the ground. What talent could that lousy spear Martial Soul possibly have? He might even be a Fallen Soul Master!" Second Elder said as he stroked his short beard.

"Enough." Tang Wei slammed the table, producing a loud bang. A cup bounced into the air, then fell onto the table and shattered. "Do you not understand what that Soul Ring configuration represents? Forget it, we cannot say much about this. An apology is necessary."

"We refuse to apologize to an ordinary person. That would simply be throwing the Clear Sky Sect's dignity onto the ground." The other elders stood as well, their faces filled with resistance.

"If you are unwilling, I will go myself. If we do not go this time, the Clear Sky Sect may face a catastrophic disaster within a hundred years." Tang Wei spoke with a look of despair.

At that moment, he was turning the letter Qian Daoliu had written in his hands, clenching it tightly and crushing it into a ball.

This reply could be considered a courtesy granted only out of the faint affection Qian Daoliu still held for Tang Chen from back then. Otherwise...

Spirit City, Elder Hall.

"Big Brother, what are your plans, then?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked as he looked at Qian Daoliu on the platform.

"He has awakened. He is already a Titled Douluo and will probably arrive soon." Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"Big Brother, say the word. Are we helping him or helping Little Ji?" Light Feather Douluo said with his arms crossed.

"No one is to intervene. No matter what happens that day, no one is permitted to interfere." Qian Daoliu closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before speaking.

A nineteen-year-old Titled Douluo, with two black, five red, and two orange Soul Rings—he could think of only one possibility: an inheritor of a god.
