Chapter 15: The Invitation from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect
The raised head rolled to the ground casually like a ball.
The man who had just killed four people was an old man with sunken eye sockets, atrophied muscles, and an unusually large frame.
Beside the strange old man stood an elegant middle-aged man, his eyes gleaming with a look of great wisdom.
Li Tianyi's face was as stern as usual. He did not feel any regret for the deaths of the four people. He was simply curious about what the dignified leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the boss of the world's largest chaebol, was doing in his place.
"Little friend Li, after six years, we have the good fortune to meet again," the elegant man chuckled.
What the hell is fate? Didn't you come here on purpose? Li Tianyi grumbled inwardly, but then he replied, "Junior greets Sect Master Ning. I didn't know you were here."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said frankly, "I am here today to invite you to join my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"Oh?" Li Tianyi's face was filled with amusement. "Master Ning, do you think so highly of a junior?"
"Of course!" Ning Fengzhi nodded.
Li Tianyi shook his head and pretended to sigh, "I'm just a useless person with a mutated martial soul. Even if some chance allows my legs to heal, what good will it do?"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly laughed heartily, "Instantly killing four level 20 soul masters and beating a great soul master to pieces with a single hand. If such a person is a useless person, then there will be no perfect people in the world from now on."
Li Tianyi's eyes became sharp, and he said, "Are you spying on me?"
Ning Fengzhi's face straightened, "Young friend, you're joking. Originally, the two of us came here today to invite you to join the sect, but we didn't expect to arrive a little early and happened to witness you displaying your divine power."
Li Tianyi's eyes flashed with vigilance, and he didn't say anything. He still didn't understand what Ning Fengzhi was up to.
Ning Fengzhi seemed to have grasped something, and without concealing anything, he asked, "Young friend, do you remember that scene in the Spirit Hall all those years ago?"
"You left a deep impression on me then. You remained unfazed by life and death, unmoved by honor or disgrace, unfazed by the pain of your own flesh. Especially the words you left before leaving, they made me think you were something special."
Li Tianyi's heart stirred. While admiring Ning Fengzhi's sharp eyes, he also lamented his own naiveté at the time. Facing power, his confidence had betrayed something.
Ning Fengzhi continued, "Originally, I thought that even if your spirit wasn't good, with your extraordinary mind, you would definitely achieve great things when you grew up. So I set the date six years ago to invite you here."
He paused, a look of surprise and a wry smile on his face. "Naturally, I witnessed that scene just now. I didn't expect that you were not only exceptionally intelligent, but also possessed unparalleled strength and talent."
Ning Fengzhi's reputation truly lived up to his reputation. Li Tianyi thought to himself that in his previous life, he had always believed that the most intelligent person in all of Douluo Continent wasn't the Grandmaster, but rather the man before him.
You have to understand, this man possesses only the cultivation of a seventy-ninth-level Soul Sage, yet he relies on his charisma to command the ninety-fifth-level Bone Douluo and the ninety-sixth-level Sword Douluo.
In terms of sheer strength, the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, both of the top three sects, would likely be slightly superior to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Yet, he has relied solely on his wisdom to forge their own sect into the continent's wealthiest. Is this something that ordinary people could achieve? Li Tianyi didn't think so.
Observing the silent Li Tianyi, Bone Douluo swung his hand again, striking Pengbo, who was about to awaken.
After this, Li Tianyi looked up at the smiling Ning Fengzhi, a chill running through his heart, and he couldn't help but become even more wary.
A twelve-year-old might not understand, but he could see clearly that Bone Douluo's strike was a clear sign of him forcing him into a desperate struggle.
Imagine if someone from the Spirit Hall died in his own residence. How would he explain this? Would their people let it go? Would he ever be able to live in peace?
Li Tianyi could already guess that the other party's next move would be to earnestly persuade him to join their group.
Sure enough, Ning Fengzhi stared at Li Tianyi and explained, "Don't misunderstand, young friend. Your physical condition must not be revealed to the Spirit Hall, otherwise it will put you in danger. Therefore, we have to deal with these people for you."
Li Tianyi bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sect Master Ning, for your kindness. I'm going to run for my life now."
Bone Douluo stepped forward and said, "How ungrateful are you, kid?"
"Uncle Gu, children are just young and full of energy," Ning Fengzhi said, holding out his hand.
"You are the child, your whole family is children." Li Tianyi suddenly became furious, realizing that he had been tricked.
Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Li Tianyi and said, "How about joining the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? I'll grant you anything you ask for."
Haha, could I refuse? Li Tianyi sneered inwardly. Ning Fengzhi seemed to him like a fox. He even felt that if he just turned and left, he would instantly turn against him and order Bone Douluo to kill him.
Since that was the case, he could only find a way to get more benefits. Li Tianyi pondered, "Are there any tangible benefits to joining your sect?"
Ning Fengzhi's face relaxed. "Can you meet all your cultivation needs?"
Li Tianyi looked puzzled. "Including spirit rings and spirit bones?"
Ning Fengzhi said proudly, "My Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can afford one or two spirit bones for you." "
How about a 100,000-year spirit ring?"
"Ahem," Ning Fengzhi coughed in surprise, his face changing. "Are you kidding?"
Li Tianyi curled his lips and muttered to himself, "Don't blame me for being greedy. Without a 100,000-year spirit ring, I'm afraid my little ancestor wouldn't even have enough to fill his stomach."
"Of course I don't have a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, but if you prove yourself capable in the future, I have a daughter I could marry you."
Li Tianyi's cold face froze. Ning Rongrong? Huh? Am I trying to steal someone else's wife?
"Someone's coming," Bone Douluo said warily.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Li Tianyi. "Looks like we need to hurry and leave."
Oh, if you hadn't stopped me, I'd probably have run miles out of Notting City by now.
Bone Douluo decisively grabbed Ning Fengzhi and Li Tianyi and soared into the air. Before leaving, Ning Fengzhi instructed Bone Douluo to unleash a ball of ghostly fire, incinerating all five bodies.
What a Ning Fengzhi! Without the remains of the bodies, the Spirit Hall would have difficulty determining their own fate. They'd probably assume they and the other five were killed by some heretic.
A city appeared ahead, inscribed with the words "Seven Treasures City."
Li Tianyi suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking, "Sect Master Ning, was it your arrangement for Elder Chen to come to me every day?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Uncle Jian's freedom is not controlled by me. He makes his own decisions, including recruiting you this time. Uncle Jian also deliberately asked me not to mention his name in advance."
Li Tianyi understood. No wonder Ning Fengzhi never mentioned Jian Douluo who had done him a favor in Notting City just now.
Sure enough, Jian Douluo was not the same kind of person as them.
Looking at the Qibao City that was so close, what flashed through Li Tianyi's mind was the Spirit Hall. He was a persistent person. Since he was determined to take charge of the Spirit Hall, he would definitely do what he said.
Li Tianyi clenched his fists. He had already planned a series of arrangements to increase his strength in his mind...
