"Isn't it rather inhumane for Sect Master Huyan to be so aggressive? If you suffered such injuries, would you also want others to pressure you like this?"
Tang Yuehua looked coldly at Huyan Zhen.
Huyan Zhen's face darkened. He hadn't expected Tang San's injuries to be so severe. However, he had already made his statement. If he left today, what would become of his authority? But the Spirit Hall Empire had warned against provoking Ning Fengzhi.
For a moment, Huyan Zhen was caught in a dilemma.
Ning Fengzhi gave Huyan Zhen a deep look, then said, " Sect Master Huyan, don't forget, I am now the Regent of the Heaven Dou Empire. Do your Elephant Armor Sect and even the Lower Four Sects really want to start a war with my Heaven Dou Empire?"
Huyan Zhen's expression changed. " Sect Master Ning, what do you mean by that?" "You should understand what I'm going to do. Today, the Lower Four Sects have come uninvited, which is already an overreach. You've also made such outrageous demands. Even if the Clear Sky Sect has declined, it cannot tolerate such insults."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud "bang" resounded, shaking the entire hall. The sound, however, came from outside.
A large armed army appeared, at least five thousand strong, and immediately surrounded nearly a hundred Soul Master from the Lower Four Sects. A leader clad in armor shouted at the hundred Soul Master, "Members of the Lower Four Sects, immediately withdraw from the Clear Sky Sect, or you will be killed without mercy!"
" Sect Master Huyan, you don't want these nearly one hundred people to die in the Clear Sky Sect because of your obsession today, do you? You are now Titled Douluo, and perhaps you can break through the encirclement, but the others will definitely be left here."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and quietly looked at Huyan Zhen.
"Alright, we Lower Four Sects have come at the wrong time today. We 'Lower Four Sects again when the young sect leader has recovered his strength."
After saying this, Huyan Zhen left the place, and the weight in his heart was lifted. He understood that Ning Fengzhi was giving him a way out. As expected of the sect leader of the Upper Three Sects, his ability to read people was truly strong.
Before Huyan Zhen could leave the main hall, Tang San's voice reached his ears, " Huyan Zhen Sect Master Huyan, once I've recovered my strength, I will come to find you and show you my power."
"Hmph, I'll be waiting." After uttering these harsh words, Huyan Zhen quickly left the main hall with the Soul Master from the Lower Four Sects.
After they left, the guards also departed. Tang Yuehua, inside the hall, finally let out a long sigh of relief. She turned to Tang San, " Xiao San, are you alright?" "Auntie, I'm fine," Tang San replied, "But my injuries are rather serious."
" Yuehua, don't worry. Now that I'm here, let me take care of Xiao San. There are other people in the Clear Sky Sect waiting for your comfort."
Ning Fengzhi said to Tang Yuehua, Tang Yuehua nodded gratefully, gave Ning Fengzhi a gentle hug, and then left the main hall.
After Tang Yuehua left, Ning Fengzhi turned to Tang San and asked, " Xiao San, how are you feeling now?"
"This is bad. In order to prevent the leakage of my severely injured Soul Power, I forcibly reversed my Soul Power, causing it to break through my meridians. Now I am no different from a cripple."
Tang San said with a wry smile.
"So... is there any chance you can recover?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, looking somewhat worried. Tang San shook his head. "If I want to, I can recover anytime." Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly. "That's good. I actually came here today for something else. Take a look at this."
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi took out a letter and handed it to Tang San. "This is a letter from Jun Yi. He says he will come to Heaven Dou City in three days to catch up with Xue Qinghe and get medical treatment."
Tang San took the letter and began to read it. Because the war was about to begin, Tang San used force to suppress the news of Xue Qinghe's death. Very few people knew about Xue Qinghe's death. The official statement was that Xue Qinghe was unwell and that Ning Fengzhi as regent and take charge of the Heaven Dou.
" Xiao San, you need to restore your strength and inherit the Asura God Position; otherwise, we will not be able to face Jun Yi," Ning Fengzhi said calmly.
Tang San's face turned extremely ugly. If Jun Yi really came to Heaven Dou City and learned that Xue Qinghe had been killed by him, he would definitely go on a killing spree.
"I understand, Uncle Ning." Tang San made up his mind; he had to restore his strength.
"Okay, I'll help you back to your room. You should rest well first, and I'll treat you."
As night fell, Ning Fengzhi had already left, leaving Tang San alone in the large room.
He was lying on a bed, a faint bitterness on his face.
"Enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. My submission to the Destruction God King today is merely a prelude to biding my time. Once I have sufficient strength, all I need to do is slay the Destruction God King, and then all contracts will cease to exist."
Tang San slowly got out of bed, went to the window, and kowtowed nine times to the moon outside, saying, "I am willing to dedicate myself to Lord Destruction."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven figures appeared in Tang San's room. They were the Seven Deadly Sins Gods. The God of Lust smiled and said to the God of Wrath, " Wrath, I told you he definitely wouldn't last fifteen days. I didn't expect that he would regret it after only nine days."
"This kid is such a coward, giving in so quickly. I really despise him," the God of Wrath said coldly.
"Heh, just a greenhorn. Even if he inherits the Asura God Position and becomes God King in the future, he still has no chance of standing shoulder to shoulder with Lord Destruction," the God of Pride sneered.
"I really don't understand. What makes this kid so special? Just because he's lucky, he'll become God King in the future? This is really unfair. Besides being ruthless, what other merits does he have?" The God of Envy's face was full of Envy.
The God of Greed was equally indignant, "Yes, this kid is truly trash, but what can we do? Lord Destruction has taken a liking to him."
"Alright, don't underestimate him too much. After all, he still has a part of the Asura God's soul within him, which will make inheriting the Asura God Position easier. Otherwise, Lord Destruction wouldn't have wasted so much time on him." The God of Sloth stretched and said slowly.
After the Seven Deadly Sins Gods appeared in Tang San's room, they immediately ignored Tang San and instead began to mock Tang San, showing no regard for him whatsoever.
Tang San did not stop them. His face was very pale. Every word from the Seven Deadly Sins Gods was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into his heart.
"He's just trash, why should we care so much about him? We should just focus on our own tasks and hurry up and let him inherit the Godhood. I'm so hungry, the Soul Power in this world is simply not enough for me to absorb," the God of Gluttony said anxiously.
