Ao Tian came this time with a single purpose—to subdue the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
However, given Ning Fengzhi's temperament, he definitely wouldn't submit obediently.
Ao Tian didn't mind letting Ning Fengzhi and those two Titled Douluo wake up and see reality clearly.
The disciple who had gone up the mountain to report only felt the chill leave his body after he put some distance between himself and Dugu Bo.
He understood that this old man—and the people inside the carriage—were probably the ones the Sect Master had ordered them to be on guard against.
He had to hurry back and report.
When this disciple arrived at the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong were leisurely drinking tea, chatting and laughing from time to time, showing not the slightest concern about Ao Tian.
"Sect Master," the disciple said as he quickly entered from outside.
"What is it?" Ning Fengzhi put down his teacup and asked with a faint smile.
"Sect Master, someone is trying to force their way through the mountain gate, and they even spoke disrespectfully of you."
Ning Fengzhi suddenly became interested and asked, "How exactly did they disrespect me?"
The disciple hesitated, not daring to say it.
"Just say it," Ning Fengzhi said.
Only then did the disciple gather his courage and say, "They said… they said to tell that brat Ning Fengzhi to come down and welcome them."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.
Ning Fengzhi wasn't angry at all. Smiling, he said, "I understand. Go back and tell him that I'm taking a nap right now, and ask him to wait a bit. Inform all the checkpoints—if he insists on forcing his way in, capture him and bring him here."
"Yes, Sect Master," the disciple replied. Receiving Ning Fengzhi's order, he immediately felt at ease.
With so many experts guarding the mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, what was there to fear from just a few people?
After the disciple left, Chen Xin laughed and said, "This Ao Tian really has an arrogant mouth. Looks like he thinks we don't dare touch him."
Gu Rong said, "Let him wait down there. When he can't endure it anymore, then we escort him up. Not bad."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "I originally planned to give him a show of force, but his level of arrogance exceeded my expectations. I really don't understand how Rongrong could take a liking to someone like this."
"I didn't expect him to actually agree to come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Chen Xin said. "Do you think he's really willing to forge that kind of soul tool for us?"
Gu Rong replied, "Have you gone senile? He's from the Spirit Hall—how could he possibly forge soul tools for us? Unless his brain was kicked by a donkey."
Ning Fengzhi said, "Bone Uncle is right. Ao Tian won't forge soul tools for us. This time, he's most likely here to try to recruit us again."
Chen Xin said, "The Spirit Hall has tried to recruit us so many times already—are they still not giving up?"
Ning Fengzhi said, "The appearance of offensive soul tools was something I didn't anticipate. The Spirit Hall possessing such precious technology is terrible news for us. They have thousands upon thousands of soul masters—if every one of them had such a soul tool, who could stop their ambitions? Therefore, I'm certain Ao Tian will use soul tools to threaten us into lowering our heads."
At these words, the smiles disappeared from Chen Xin's and Gu Rong's faces, replaced by grave expressions.
"If this continues, the Spirit Hall will only grow stronger," Chen Xin said solemnly. "Even if we join forces with the Tian Dou Empire, we may still have little chance of victory."
"Could it be that heaven truly wants to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Gu Rong said, his voice tinged with sadness.
Ning Fengzhi said, "Don't be so pessimistic yet. When Ao Tian comes up, we'll probe first—see whether the Spirit Hall truly has mastered the technology to manufacture soul tools, and figure out what their real purpose is. Then we'll make plans."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong both nodded.
"Any powerful soul masters secretly infiltrating?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
"No," Chen Xin replied.
"Drink tea, drink tea," Ning Fengzhi said, raising his teacup with a smile.
…
At the foot of the mountain, the reporting disciple walked back down.
"Where is Ning Fengzhi?" Dugu Bo frowned and asked.
With his status as a Titled Douluo, even if he came alone, Ning Fengzhi should come out to welcome him—let alone now, when Ao Tian himself was here.
In Dugu Bo's view, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was simply courting death!
The disciple looked calm, carrying more confidence than before, and said, "The Sect Master is currently taking a nap. Once he wakes up, he will naturally come down to welcome you."
"Impudent!" Dugu Bo roared angrily. His immense Titled Douluo pressure erupted, mercilessly suppressing the two disciples guarding the mountain.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two were still calmly drinking tea, strangely unaware of the commotion at the foot of the mountain.
Under normal circumstances, the instant Dugu Bo released his pressure, Chen Xin and Gu Rong would have sensed it.
But now, Ao Tian had isolated Dugu Bo's aura within this small space, preventing the two Titled Douluo above from detecting it.
"Don't kill them. Just give them a lesson," Ao Tian said indifferently.
Dugu Bo didn't strike to kill. He didn't even get off the carriage. Soul power surged in his palm as he struck through the air.
Puff! Puff!
The two disciples spat blood and were sent flying, collapsing to the ground, unmoving.
"Courtesy first, force later. The courtesy is done—now it's time to act. Dragon Horse, go up," Ao Tian said.
Since Ning Fengzhi wanted to play games, he would accompany him to the end and see who couldn't afford to keep playing.
The Dragon Horse lifted its legs and headed up the mountain, without the slightest difficulty.
The disciple who had just gone up to report struggled to his feet, circulated his soul power, and shouted loudly, "Someone is forcibly breaking into the sect!"
After shouting, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
The personnel at the various checkpoints on the mountain had already received orders. Hearing the shout, the soul masters at the second checkpoint rushed out in large numbers, blocking the Dragon Horse's path.
"Presumptuous! You dare trespass into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—seize them and escort them to the Sect Master!" the leading soul master shouted.
This man's cultivation had actually reached the Soul Emperor realm. He released his martial soul and sneered at Dugu Bo sitting at the front of the carriage.
Daring to force their way into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—this was simply courting death!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had numerous experts. Many powerful soul masters relied on the sect and served it. Even the Spirit Hall didn't dare underestimate the sect's strength.
The higher up this mountain went, the stronger the guards at each checkpoint became.
Further up, there would even be Soul Saints and Soul Douluo.
In the eyes of these blocking soul masters, relying on just this single shabby carriage to force one's way into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was nothing but wishful thinking.
"Seize them!" the Soul Emperor shouted again.
A large group of soul masters surged toward the carriage, intending to subdue Dugu Bo first and then drag out the people inside.
"Heh heh… courting death!" Dugu Bo's eyes blazed with vicious light. Nine soul rings appeared around him, and the pressure of a Titled Douluo erupted once more.
Thump, thump, thump…
The entire group was instantly forced to their knees. Even the Soul Emperor was no exception—pressed down so hard by Dugu Bo's aura that he could barely lift his head.
"A T-Titled Douluo!" the Soul Emperor cried out in utter shock.
Being ordered to capture a Titled Douluo—wasn't this seeking death?
The Soul Emperor's mind was completely blank. He couldn't understand why the Sect Master had given such an order.
"Let's go," Ao Tian's voice sounded.
The Dragon Horse continued upward.
Dugu Bo sneered and struck ruthlessly—one palm per person. Each was heavily injured, spitting blood, their cries of pain unending.
After passing this checkpoint, Dugu Bo retracted his soul rings and restrained his aura, once again becoming an ordinary-looking old man.
He realized that he actually quite liked this cat-and-mouse feeling—it was rather entertaining.
It would be best if he could break through all the way to Ning Fengzhi's face and see the look of shock on it.
That feeling would surely be very amusing.
