Chapter 423 Ning Fengzhi persuades Clear Sky Sect to come out of seclusion, Sea God Trident
Tang Lie mocked Tang Hao, and his words shocked everyone present, especially Tang San. He had thought that the Clear Sky Sect had Titled Douluo, but there shouldn't be many, since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect combined only had three.
But the Seventh Elder in front of him actually said that the Clear Sky Sect has seven Titled Douluo? If you add his father, that makes a total of eight. " The Clear Sky Sect truly deserves to be called the number one sect in the world. Just the number of Titled Douluo it has is comparable to the Spirit Hall, right?" Tang San murmured to himself.
However, at that moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does indeed bear some responsibility for what happened back then." Everyone turned around as Ning Fengzhi slowly walked forward. His face was calm, but his eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone stared at him, unable to believe what they had just heard. Was Ning Fengzhi admitting his mistakes from back then? " Sect Master Ning, what do you mean by this?" Tang Lie asked coldly, his eyes filled with doubt and anger.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself down. "Seventh Elder, I know you've always harbored resentment about what happened back then. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't help us back then, which led to the Clear Sky Sect's retreat, but all of this was because of the Spirit Hall." "Are you trying to shirk responsibility?" Tang Lie's voice was filled with obvious doubt and anger.
"No, Seventh Elder, I'm not shirking responsibility. We are willing to take responsibility and help the Clear Sky Sect return to the Soul Master World. I just want everyone to understand that the Spirit Hall is actually the core of all these problems. Only by completely eradicating the Spirit Hall can our Soul Master World be saved."
Ning Fengzhi's tone was firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt about his resolve. His words shocked everyone present. These were statements they had never heard before, nor possibilities they had ever imagined.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on Tang Lie's face, as if trying to see through his heart. "Seventh Elder, I know you find it hard to let go of what happened back then."
"But we cannot give up on the future because of past grievances. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to form an alliance with the Clear Sky Sect to jointly fight against the Spirit Hall and bring peace and prosperity back to our Soul Master World." Tang Lie's face was gloomy, and he clearly had not completely let go of the resentment in his heart.
But Ning Fengzhi's words left him speechless. Of course, he also hoped that the Clear Sky Sect would return to the public eye, but the death of his son was a pain that could never be erased from their hearts.
Tang Xiao stepped forward, looked at Tang Lie, and said, "Seventh Elder, I believe Sect Master Ning is sincere. Their failure to help back then was due to the Spirit Hall's conspiracy. But now, they are willing to shoulder their responsibility and help our Clear Sky Sect return to the Soul Master World. We should give them our trust and respect." Tang Lie's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on Tang Hao's. He remained silent for a moment, then turned and left with a resentful sigh.
After Tang Lie left, the other elders quietly watched Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao took a deep breath. Looking at Tang Lie's retreating figure, he felt a little worried, but he knew that this was the only way for the Clear Sky Sect to return to the Soul Master World. He turned his head and looked at Ning Fengzhi in front of him, feeling grateful. The changes in their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had undoubtedly given the Clear Sky Sect a good way out. And Ning Fengzhi's words had also shown him a possible direction.
" Sect Master Ning, on behalf of the Clear Sky Sect, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Tang Xiao's tone was somewhat stiff, but his eyes were full of sincerity. Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "Sect Leader, we are all doing this for our sects. I hope we can join hands and work together for the future of both the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Sea God Island, the Temple of Sea God. There are no windows here, so naturally no light from the outside. The temple is very empty, with no other buildings in sight. This temple can be described as ancient and simple.
In the very center of the hall, a Golden Trident exuding the aura of the sea stands erect, planted in the ground, awaiting the successor of the Sea God to pull it out.
At this moment, inside the main hall, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, Bo Saixi, Dugu Yan, and the others were standing in the hall, watching Zhu Zhuqing walk towards the direction of the Sea God Trident. At the center of her forehead, a golden divine mark similar to the Golden Trident appeared, and the aura of an 87th-level Soul Douluo emanated from her body.
Zhu Zhuqing walked step by step toward the Sea God Trident, her steps steady and firm. On this mysterious Sea God Island, she inherited the Sea God's Nine Trials, passed through layer after layer of trials, and finally reached this point.
Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand and gently touched the Golden Trident. The golden divine seal between her brows shimmered, and a mysterious power surged from her body, resonating with the Golden Trident.
She gripped the Golden Trident, and an immense power surged from the trident into her hand, rushing straight into her mind. The roar of the ocean echoed in her ears, as if she were in the midst of a raging sea.
Zhu Zhuqing felt a surge of shock, but her eyes remained resolute. She understood that this was a test from the Sea God Trident. Only by passing this test could she truly become the successor of the Sea God. She closed her eyes and immersed her mind in this power. Her Soul Power was continuously stimulated by the power of the trident, and she felt as if she had become a small boat, constantly tossed and turned in the ocean. Everyone in the hall held their breath, knowing that this was Zhu Zhuqing's most crucial test. If she failed to pass this test, it meant she could not inherit the Sea God Godhood.
Zhu Zhuqing was constantly tossed about by this force, and her heart was undergoing unprecedented trials. In this ever-changing test, she saw her own weakness, but also her own strength. She understood that the Sea God was tempering her will and testing her determination.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was relentlessly resisting the power of the trident, her body suddenly trembled, and her Soul Power gushed out like a spring.
A blue triangle slowly floated out from between Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows, spinning rapidly, and approached the diamond-shaped hole at the head of the Sea God Trident through a bridge formed by blue light. It was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
When the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew to within three inches of the diamond-shaped hole in the Sea God Trident, it stopped. Then, the light of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud shifted, and its original triangular shape instantly doubled in size, as if two Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had connected together. Its shape also changed at the same time, transforming into a deep blue diamond-shaped gemstone, exactly the same size as the hole in the Sea God Trident. The intense blue light at this moment even overshadowed the golden radiance.
