Seeing this, Ning Rongrong knew that the upcoming matters were not for her to hear, so she immediately went to another side to be alone...
At this moment, Chen Xin was the first to speak, asking, "Feng Zhi, has something important happened again, that would make you'd ask Rongrong to stand aside!"
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, "Uncle Sword, do I make it that obvious?"
Chen Xin smirked, "Of course, looking at your expression just now, it can't be a trivial matter!"
Gu Rong urged, "Feng Zhi, just tell us what's going on, otherwise we'll be itching with curiosity!"
Ning Fengzhi didn't waste any words and immediately got to the point...
"Just yesterday, the Martial Soul Hall announced that they will cooperate with the royal family of the Xingluo Empire to jointly combat the abyssal creatures!"
Chen Xin's eyes widened in disbelief, "What?? Martial Soul Hall has teamed up with the Xingluo Empire royal family? Are they crazy? They're completely disregarding the Tiandou Empire's royal family!"
Gu Rong agreed, "Yes, although the Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire haven't had major conflicts lately, each side is thinking of annexing the other. It's quite bold of the Martial Soul Hall to cooperate with both sides at the same time."
Ning Fengzhi smiled wryly, "Yes, I thought the same when I first heard the news."
"But it's certain that this matter is true!"
Chen Xin pursed his lips, trying to calm his emotions, "I'm afraid, if the Tiandou Empire's royal family hears of this, they might sever ties with the Martial Soul Hall..."
Gu Rong cursed unreservedly, "That damn Martial Soul Hall, this continent just got a bit peaceful, and now they're stirring things up again!"
Ning Fengzhi didn't refute but speculated, "I think the reason Martial Soul Hall agreed to the cooperation must be that they've gained considerable benefits from the Xingluo Empire!"
"And for the Xingluo Empire royal family to sacrifice such great benefits, they must have realized the terrifying nature of the abyssal creatures, and therefore need the help of the soul-master-rich Martial Soul Hall!!"
Chen Xin took a deep breath, "Feng Zhi, your guess makes sense. However, if the Tiandou Empire's royal family really cuts off ties with the Martial Soul Hall, what should our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect do?"
"Not just the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, I'm afraid the Hao Tian Clan and Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect will also need to consider whether to continue the cooperation!"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi began to ponder...
"Well... Our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect has always been close to the Tiandou Empire's royal family, so if they sever ties with the Martial Soul Hall, we should probably do the same."
"But... let's not forget, when our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect was attacked by the Abyssal Creature Army not long ago, it was thanks to the strong fighters from the Martial Soul Hall that we could resolve it!"
Gu Rong nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if we sever ties with the Martial Soul Hall because of this, it would affect the reputation of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, and that would not be a good thing."
Chen Xin shook his head, "But... if we don't sever ties, we might offend the Tiandou Empire's royal family. This matter is quite tricky."
In summary, whether the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect should continue its cooperation with the Martial Soul Hall, there seems to be a downside either way!
Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought of something, his tone suddenly shifted, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, perhaps you are overthinking this."
"Isn't there a possibility that the Tiandou Empire's royal family might still maintain its cooperation with the Martial Soul Hall?"
Chen Xin frowned, seemingly not convinced, "Feng Zhi, isn't that unlikely? You should know His Majesty Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire better than us."
Ning Fengzhi seriously expressed his view, "No, quite the opposite, I think the Tiandou Empire's royal family might choose to endure!"
"Because the threat of the abyssal creatures is too great, without the support of the Martial Soul Hall, if the Tiandou Empire's royal family faces an attack, they'll be in a dire situation!"
At this, Gu Rong raised his doubt, "But doesn't the Tiandou Empire's royal family have our upper three families and many sects to aid them?"
Ning Fengzhi looked the other person in the eye, speaking in a somewhat helpless tone, "Uncle Bone, while that may be true, do you really think, after a major battle with the abyssal creatures, that we will still have the strength to help the royal family?"
From the recent major battle, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect was barely able to protect itself!
Where are there any extra disciples to support the royal family??
Upon hearing these words, both Chen Xin and Gu Rong fell silent...
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi also gave up on the discussion...
"Of course, all of this is just my speculation, I'm sure before long, His Majesty Xue Ye will send someone to discuss this matter!"
"As for what happens afterwards, we shall decide then."
He was well aware that he couldn't draw a conclusion on this matter right now!
...
Hao Tian Clan!
After hearing the disciple's words below, Tang Xiao, sitting at the main seat, spoke with a complex expression.
"Interesting... the Martial Soul Hall so blatantly cooperates with the Xingluo Empire royal family, they really disregard the Tiandou Empire's royal family."
"It seems the recent cooperation is likely off the table."
He was naturally referring to the cooperation between the Martial Soul Hall and the Tiandou Empire's royal family!!
The other elders, hearing this, were somewhat indignant...
"Hmm, that Pope Bi Bidong of the Martial Soul Hall truly is a two-faced person, clearly having just cooperated with the Three Sects and Tiandou Empire's royal family recently, now suddenly turning to cooperate with the Xingluo Empire's royal family!"
"Exactly, this woman Bi Bidong dares to do this, isn't she afraid of breaking off cooperation with us?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that, for Bi Bidong to agree to such cooperation, the Martial Soul Hall must have gained substantial benefits, ones she couldn't refuse at least!"
"But the Martial Soul Hall dares to do so, they must have thought through the consequences."
Tang Xiao eyed them, "Esteemed elders, what do you think the Tiandou Empire's royal family will do about this?"
"What else can they do? Naturally, they'll cut off cooperation with the Martial Soul Hall; the relationships between the Tiandou and Xingluo royal families aren't as good as they appear!"
"Indeed, I think so too. With His Majesty Xue Ye's character, he cannot allow the Martial Soul Hall to collaborate with both great empires at once!"
"I, however, think... His Majesty Xue Ye might just act as if nothing happened and continue the cooperation, at most sending someone to verbally remind the Martial Soul Hall!!"
"Exactly, the Martial Soul Hall, even if not cooperating with the Tiandou Empire's royal family, still has enough soul masters to resist the abyssal creatures, whereas, for the royal family, losing the cooperation would be unthinkable!"
Tang Xiao nodded, also expressing his view, "Hmm... it seems the elders have differing opinions, but personally, I still agree with continuing the cooperation with His Majesty Xue Ye!"
"Now that the threat of the abyssal creatures is growing, having one more ally is better than having one more enemy!"
