Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Yang Xiong and Ning Fengzhi sat together. Besides Ning Fengzhi, Sword Bone Douluo, Lin Gong, and Ning Rongrong were also present.
However, Ning Fengzhi appeared exceptionally calm at this moment, seemingly even more composed than after the great battle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
A hint of confusion appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. "Little Xiong, you want Uncle Bone to secretly protect the Emperor Xue Ye. I'm afraid Uncle Bone might be too busy, and doing so would be overkill. You should know Uncle Bone's importance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Sect Leader, I'm not just thinking of Bone Douluo alone. I'm thinking of both Bone Douluo and Senior Yang Wudi secretly infiltrating the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to protect the Emperor Xue Ye."
"Bone Douluo is skilled in defense and is unpredictable, absolutely capable of ensuring the Emperor Xue Ye's safety. Senior Yang Wudi is skilled in refining poison and can prevent the Emperor Xue Ye from being assassinated."
Ning Fengzhi was a bit puzzled. "Little Xiong, are you overthinking things? Although Heaven Dou City has been a bit chaotic recently, no one should be able to harm the Emperor Xue Ye. After all, the palace guards are still very strict."
Yang Xiong was silent for a moment before speaking. "Sect Leader, are you still unwilling to suspect that Xue Qinghe has a problem?"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. "Little Xiong, it's not about whether Qing He has a problem anymore. Xue Qinghe is now the Emperor Xue Ye's only son and the only heir to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Even if he has made mistakes, the overall situation cannot be changed."
A trace of conflict appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Sect Leader, you should know that I have consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Because the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is the same as Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul, I have a special feeling towards Chrysanthemum Douluo. Especially after meeting in the Star Dou Great Forest last time, I felt even more that Chrysanthemum Douluo was different."
"When I traded the Vast Sea Universe Cover with Xue Qinghe back then, I clearly felt an abnormal aura at the scene, which should have come from the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. And the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul is unique in the entire Soul Master world, so I suspect Chrysanthemum Douluo was also present."
"If that's really the case, I'm afraid Xue Qinghe is secretly colluding with the Spirit Hall. At that time, it will not only affect our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect but even the entire Heaven Dou Empire."
Ning Fengzhi thought carefully before speaking. "Little Xiong, are you saying that the Spirit Hall deliberately released various messages this time to create chaos in Heaven Dou City, thereby assisting Xue Qinghe in ascending the throne?"
"But have you ever thought that the Emperor Xue Ye is at least a Soul Douluo level expert? Both his body and soul power are in their prime, and he could maintain this state for decades without any problem."
A deep expression appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Sect Leader, precisely because the Emperor Xue Ye is quite strong, he might overlook the hidden dangers around him."
"After the great battle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect last time, the Emperor Xue Ye investigated for a full month but still couldn't find the high-ranking Heaven Dou Imperial Family member who had hidden the information. This shows how deeply this person is hidden, which is why I suspect Xue Qinghe."
"Regardless, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family cannot afford to be lost. Moreover, Bone Douluo and Senior Yang Wudi are only secretly protecting the Emperor Xue Ye and will not interfere with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's affairs. I believe the Emperor Xue Ye will also agree."
Ning Fengzhi said helplessly, "Alright, I will personally go to the palace and see what the Emperor Xue Ye's attitude is."
Yang Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your trust, Sect Leader. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must also be prepared at all times. Perhaps the crisis is imminent."
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Little Xiong, sometimes you think too much. I really wonder how your brain is structured, but it's also fortunate that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has you."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Sect Leader, is there any news from the Clear Sky Sect? Are they still unwilling to come out?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "The news of the Spirit Hall convening a Sect meeting has reached the Clear Sky Sect. There are also various voices within the Clear Sky Sect. Although it hasn't been confirmed when they will come out, looking at the current situation, Tang Xiao should also be having trouble suppressing the intentions of those elders."
"Moreover, once this Sect meeting is convened, the status of both the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will plummet. Even if they do come out then, I'm afraid they won't be able to restore their former glory."
A hint of confusion appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Sect Leader, aren't you afraid of the Spirit Hall's Sect meeting? It will also affect the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Little Xiong, let me tell you something. In this world, strength is paramount."
"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has reached its peak. Although there were some losses in this great battle, we have accumulated wealth and resources cultivated by several generations over the years. So, even without the reputation of the Upper Three Sects, it will not affect the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Moreover, the Spirit Hall clearly has malicious intentions, especially after losing so many experts at our hands. Instead of going to Spirit City to provoke them now, it's better to learn from the Clear Sky Sect."
Yang Xiong was also filled with admiration upon hearing this. Ning Fengzhi's perspective was indeed broader than he had imagined, at least he knew when to advance and retreat better.
...
As expected, following Yang Xiong's suggestion, Ning Fengzhi personally went to see the Emperor Xue Ye.
The Emperor Xue Ye was originally extremely worried about the situation in Heaven Dou City. The entire Heaven Dou Imperial Family seemed to be on the verge of a storm.
However, he had been unable to find the traitor within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's suggestion, he was immediately overjoyed and readily agreed to the suggestion of Bone Douluo and Yang Wudi secretly hiding in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
However, just as Yang Xiong was preparing to go to Heaven Dou City for the final preparations, a message came from Cloud Mist Mountain, forcing him to go there first.
All along, in Cloud Mist Mountain, Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Lin Gong were responsible for the education of the Body Academy. On the one hand, these two had very rich teaching experience. On the other hand, the original foundation of the Body Academy was the Exotic Beast Academy.
Upon arriving at the Body Academy, what came into view were Feng Xiaotian and others.
These people included Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Lei Dong, and others, who were the captains of the Four Element Academy.
Looking at their current situation, after five years of changes, they had basically reached the Soul King level, and their talents were all quite good. Especially Feng Xiaotian, who had actually reached the Soul Emperor level in these five years.
A hint of confusion appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Brother Feng, Brother Huo, why do you have time to come to this Body Academy?"
Feng Xiaotian also had a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Brother Yang, are you also related to this Body Academy?"
Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Brother Feng might have misunderstood. This Body Academy was established with my backing."
Feng Xiaotian and the others' expressions changed slightly. "Brother Yang, is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind this Body Academy?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "Not exactly the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The Body Academy itself doesn't have much connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It was just established by me personally."
Feng Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Yang, do you know about the major events that have happened in the Soul Master world recently? Our Element Academy hasn't been having a good time lately."
A hint of confusion appeared in Yang Xiong's eyes. "I only know that Thunder Academy hasn't been doing well recently. I'm not too sure about the others. Brother Lei Dong, how is Thunder Academy now?"
A hint of sadness appeared on Lei Dong's face. "Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family Annihilation, all the teachers and students of Thunder Academy related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family have been attacked. Captain Yu Tianxin has also disappeared. The overall strength of Thunder Academy has been reduced by at least sixty percent."
Yang Xiong was also helpless upon hearing this. "My condolences. I believe that under your leadership, Brother Lei Dong, Thunder Academy will definitely rise to glory again."
Yang Xiong had some understanding of the Soul Master world. After the Spirit Hall launched the Soul Hunting Operation, they intensified their efforts to win over the forces in the Soul Master world. All those who resisted were ruthlessly suppressed.
And the Five Element Academy was a pretty good force. Each academy had hundreds of teachers and students, and their respective deans were experts with certain strength, at least top Soul Saints, and even Soul Douluo level experts.
Whether it was the geniuses of the Element Academy or the strength of the Soul Masters themselves, they were all key targets for the Spirit Hall to win over.
Feng Xiaotian said helplessly, "Brother Yang is joking. Our Element Academy hasn't been having a good time lately and has been ostracized by the Spirit Hall. If we don't join the Spirit Hall, I'm afraid we will face annihilation."
"So, the deans of our Four Element Academy arranged for us to come to Heaven Dou City to investigate the situation. We want to move all the academies to the vicinity of Heaven Dou City. The Spirit Hall cannot yet reach the vicinity of Heaven Dou City, which is relatively peaceful, and perhaps more suitable for our Element Academy's teaching."
A hint of surprise appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Then why did you come to the Body Academy? There should be many other academies in Heaven Dou City. At worst, you could go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I think the Three Education Committee Members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be very welcoming, and they also have some strength to help you."
A hint of disdain appeared on Feng Xiaotian's face. "What kind of teaching is that at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Although the teaching staff and conditions are good, the student environment is too poor. It's purely a group of nobles playing around."
"As for the other academies in Heaven Dou City, their area and all aspects are too small to accommodate our Four Element Academy."
"After some observation, we found that your Body Academy not only has a vast area, but also excellent teaching in all aspects, and Senior Dragon Duke is personally in charge. May we temporarily move our academies here?"
Yang Xiong fell silent upon hearing this. He didn't have any other designs on the Element Academy. On the one hand, although the Four Element Academy claimed to have thousands of Soul Masters, most of them were students, and they lived in a family-like structure, making it difficult for others to get involved.
On the other hand, his Body Academy was mainly for training the disciples and students within the Body Sect. Even though it had recruited many commoners, the focus was basically on the dozens of students with Body Martial Souls.
Moreover, there was another point. Yang Xiong originally didn't plan to root the Body Academy in this Cloud Mist Mountain. He only temporarily chose this location to train students and established a certain cultivation environment, which was thanks to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth.
Seeing Yang Xiong hesitate, Feng Xiaotian quickly spoke. "Brother Yang, we are only borrowing the space and will not affect the internal teaching and cultivation of your Body Academy. You should know that our Element Academy's focus is on teaching and we don't want to participate in these conflicts in the Soul Master world."
Yang Xiong looked at Feng Xiaotian and the others, a hint of helplessness on his face. "Brother Feng, to be honest, the Body Academy should also be moving away after a while. We won't be staying in Cloud Mist Mountain anymore."
Feng Xiaotian was also surprised. "How is that possible? You have Senior Dragon Duke in charge, even the Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to easily provoke you. Could it be that even you are under pressure from the Spirit Hall and have to move to Heaven Dou City?"
