Dogs Eat Dogs

"Bad! Tang San is naturally suspicious, he will definitely overthink! Uncle Jian, come with me to see Little San!"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly stood up, cold sweat already drenching his back, and strode toward the secret room where Tang San was.

Meanwhile, in Tang San's secret room separated by a single wall.

The atmosphere had dropped to freezing point.

Yu Xiaogang was also clutching an Imperial Amnesty Decree sent in by a scout, his entire body trembling like a winnowing sieve.

"An Imperial Amnesty Decree... an amnesty decree letting bygones be bygones..."

Yu Xiaogang abruptly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"Little San! Don't you understand yet?! The elite at Luoma Slope died just moments ago, and Spirit Hall turned right around and issued an amnesty decree forgiving past grievances for their enemies! There is no such coincidence in the world!"

"Ning Fengzhi... it is him! He betrayed the Clear Sky School, using your uncle's lifeblood to trade for this golden get-out-of-jail-free card that protects the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!!"

Tang San stood by the stone bed, staring fixedly at that Imperial Amnesty Decree.

His body trembled violently; the suspicion and darkness engraved in his bones from his past life in the Tang Sect completely erupted at this moment.

Ning Fengzhi abandoned the sect's headquarters to protect him?

No, that was Ning Fengzhi waiting for a good price to hoard a rare commodity!

Now Spirit Hall had offered the best price.

Then Ning Fengzhi's next step would definitely be taking his, Tang San's, head to the Pope's Palace to claim the bounty!

"Seven... Treasure... Glazed... Tile... School!"

Tang San gnashed his teeth, unprecedented malice and murderous intent bursting from the depths of his eyes.

Bang!"

The heavy stone door of the secret room was violently pushed open from the outside.

Ning Fengzhi was drenched in sweat, discarding his usual scholarly demeanor, and hurried in with Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

"Little San! Master!"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang standing by the stone bed with complexions as gloomy as water, and spoke eagerly in explanation:

"You should have already seen the Imperial Amnesty Decree outside! Do not be impulsive under any circumstances, and certainly do not fall into Spirit Hall's malicious plot! This is clearly a divisive scheme thrown out by Spirit Hall, purposely timed to coincide with the annihilation of the Clear Sky School!"

"Aisive scheme?"

Yu Xiaogang let out a miserable laugh, his eyes fixed dead on Ning Fengzhi, full of madness and malice:

"Ning Fengzhi! At this point, do you still want to treat us like three-year-old children and fool us?! The five hundred elites at Luoma Slope just died completely, and Spirit Hall's Imperial Amnesty Decree was plastered all over the major and minor streets of Heaven Dou City right after!"

"Even if we take a step back and say this is a divisive scheme, how could Spirit Hall time the rendezvous at Luoma Slope so precisely?! Apart from you secretly selling out the intelligence in exchange for this get-out-of-jail-free card to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who else could it be?!"

"Master! I, Ning Fengzhi, dare to act and take responsibility. If I didn't do it, I will never take the blame for this!"

Ning Fengzhi was so angry his face turned livid, suppressing his anger as he looked at Tang San, wanting to make a final effort at redemption:

"Little San, you are the most intelligent. Can't you see the flaws in this? If I really wanted to betray you, I could have directly let Spirit Hall come here to arrest people. Why go to all this unnecessary trouble?"

Yet, facing Ning Fengzhi's explanation, Tang San kept his head lowered throughout, not saying a single word.

The dim lamplight in the secret room struck his tender face, which was only five years old, yet reflected a terrifying, chilling malice and ruthlessness unique to his past life in the Tang Sect.

Inside Tang San's mind, the ironclad rules of the Tang Sect Codex were echoing frantically: [For any enemy that might pose a threat to oneself, strike first to gain the advantage and wipe out the roots of evil!]

Ning Fengzhi explaining?

No!

In Tang San's suspicious mind, Ning Fengzhi rushing in hastily with Sword Douluo was not to explain at all, but out of fear that he, Tang San, would escape, and preparing to capture him directly to claim a bounty from Spirit Hall!

Tang San's tender right hand tightly grasped an ordinary iron dagger used for self-defense hidden inside his sleeve.

He knew that he was currently a good-for-nothing without even a martial soul and couldn't possibly kill Ning Fengzhi, but the malice and murderous intent toward Ning Fengzhi engraved deep in his bones overflowed from the depths of his eyes like an untamable viper!

"Humph!"

How sharp were the five senses of Chen Xin, a peak 96th-rank Douluo!

At the very instant Tang San's murderous intent leaked, Chen Xin's gaze instantly pierced toward Tang San like a sharp sword, and an ice-cold, piercing pressure directly swept outward!

"Hum!"

"You little bastard, you actually dare to harbor murderous intent toward the School Master!"

Chen Xin flew into a rage, the phantom of the Seven Kill Sword abruptly materializing behind him. The terrifying sword Qi directly pressed Tang San down until he knelt on the ground, cracking even the bluestone floorboards beneath his knees!

"Uncle Jian! What is happening?!"

Ning Fengzhi was stunned.

"School Master, this little bastard was gripping a dagger just now, harboring murderous intent against you!"

Chen Xin's gaze was cold and severe, his killing intent fully exposed,

"Why waste words with such an ungrateful ingrate? Today, I will clean up the sect's internal elements!"

Hearing Chen Xin's words, Ning Fengzhi froze completely in place.

He blankly watched Tang San, who was pinned to the ground with red eyes, gritting his teeth fiercely and refusing to yield, feeling a chill surge from the depths of his soul.

He, the dignified Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Chosen One whom he had exhausted the entire school's power to protect, actually wanted to sentence him to death in his heart upon seeing a thin imperial decree, without even asking a single question!

"Good... good! What a suspicious Sea God! What a Tang San living two lifetimes!!"

Ning Fengzhi laughed out of extreme anger, his laughter carrying boundless desolation and the gnashing, cruel ruthlessness of a merchant who had been viciously betrayed!

"To protect you, I, Ning Fengzhi, discarded even the foundation of the number one auxiliary sect! Uncle Gu's meridians were shattered! I was even willing to bear the blame of betraying the Clear Sky School just to stay and share hardships with you!"

"And what about you?! You were actually plotting in your heart how to kill me!"

"Little San! Have you lost your mind?!"

Yu Xiaogang was frightened out of his wits, dropping to his knees with a thud and tightly embracing Tang San.

"Master Ning, Your Eminence Sword Douluo, please spare him! He was momentarily confused and stimulated by Spirit Hall's Imperial Amnesty Decree!"

"Confused? I think he is extremely clear-headed!"

Chen Xin let out a cold snort as his longsword prepared to slash down.

"Uncle Jian, stop."

Just as the Seven Kill Sword was about to chop down, Ning Fengzhi suddenly raised his hand, stopping Chen Xin.

Chen Xin was stunned:

"School Master, he even wanted to kill you, and you still want to keep him!"

Ning Fengzhi did not speak. He looked down from above at Tang San, who sprawled on the ground like a stray dog, calculating light flashing frantically within his profound eyes.

Yes, Tang San had already generated murderous intent toward him, and this wolf could never be completely tamed.

If Tang San truly became a god in the future, his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would definitely be the first to be liquidated!

However... kill Tang San?

Then who would repay the sunk costs paid by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

How could Uncle Gu's severe injuries be accounted for?!

[Although Tang San is a useless person without even a martial soul, he has the blueprints for Tang Sect hidden weapons in his head! Even more, he holds memories of the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as the paths and secrets to achieving godhood from his past life!]
