When Zhuge Lan went to Ning Fengzhi and laid out his idea.
Ning Fengzhi rarely showed a trace of embarrassment.
"Sword Uncle."
Ning Fengzhi said with a chuckle—
"You usually don't care about sect affairs, but you should at least have some idea, right?"
"The seven great families behind the Soul Arena—don't you know who they are?"
Chen Xin raised an eyebrow in confusion.
He…needed to know that?
"I really haven't paid attention to it," the old man replied.
"From what you're saying, Fengzhi, could it be that it also belongs to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Lan's expression became subtle.
The Soul Arena is actually our own product?
"That's not the case."
Ning Fengzhi explained—
"The so-called seven great families are, in fact, nothing more than supported puppets."
"The real controllers behind them are—"
"First are the Dai family and Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire. That original ancient ruin was excavated jointly by them."
"Next is the Qian family of the Spirit Hall—no need to explain the reason."
"Then there's the Xue family of the Heaven Dou Empire. Only then could the Soul Arena enter Heaven Dou territory."
"And finally, one family from each of the Upper Three Sects, in exchange for restraining their disciples and intimidating the Lower Four Sects and other families."
"It is precisely because of such a complex combination of interests that the Soul Arena could spread throughout every city."
"Otherwise, with such enormous profits, how could Spirit Hall, the two great empires, the Upper Three Sects, and the Lower Four Sects all remain indifferent?"
Chen Xin nodded in understanding.
"So that's how it is."
"I've been busy cultivating all these years and didn't pay attention to this."
"Then Zhuge's matter… won't be easy to just march up and seize."
The forces behind the seven great families—none were weaker than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
None could be easily offended.
Zhuge Lan was also quite surprised.
He had originally thought that with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stepping in, swallowing the Soul Arena would be no problem.
Then every so often, they could go reap a harvest.
Turns out the backing was this solid?
But—no one can stop his plan to impregnate the entire continent!
Let's see how he fools Ning Fengzhi.
Zhuge Lan coughed lightly and was just about to speak—
when someone reported from outside the door—
"Sect Master, urgent news!"
"Bring it in," Ning Fengzhi said calmly.
A disciple hurried in, handed over a note, and waited to the side.
Ning Fengzhi opened it and glanced at it.
[Emotion Points +99999]
As everyone knows.
Emotion points can only be generated by emotions caused by Zhuge Lan.
So this intelligence…is related to Zhuge Lan?
Ning Fengzhi pursed his lips, then silently handed the note to Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan took it and glanced at it.
[The Heaven Dou Soul Arena, Star Luo Soul Arena, and Gengxin Soul Arena have consecutively suffered destruction by Zhuge Lan. He possesses short-term cross-city movement methods and cannot be captured. All Soul Arena operations have been temporarily suspended.]
[Representatives from the seven great families have now each been dispatched to Heaven Dou City to seek Shrek Academy, waiting in ambush to demand an explanation.]
[What stance should our sect take in this matter?]
Mm…So I've been reported.
Zhuge Lan calmly folded the note and directly put it into his storage ring.
Chen Xin, who also wanted to take a look, cast a puzzled glance.
What's going on here?
"You may reply," Ning Fengzhi said evenly. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not participate in this matter and will withdraw."
A direct choice of sides.
Now the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a subordinate sect of the "Zhuge Family."No matter how outrageous Zhuge Lan's actions were, they had to support him unconditionally.
"Yes!"
The disciple accepted the order and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Zhuge Lan called out. "Still follow the group, and act according to circumstances later."
The disciple froze, instinctively looking at his own sect master.
Does this person's words count?
"Do as Zhuge says," Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Also inform everyone—Zhuge Lan's status from now on is equal to mine."
[Emotion Points +199]
The disciple stared at Zhuge Lan in shock, then reacted and bowed respectfully.
He left quickly.
"Sorry about this, Zhuge."
Ning Fengzhi took the initiative—
"The sect relocation was too rushed. I forgot to inform everyone in advance, otherwise the Soul Arena side wouldn't have failed to recognize you."
"Since it's more or less our own property, we can just compensate for the losses."
"But how to arrange it specifically still depends on your wishes."
These words—
gave both face and substance.
—Ning Fengzhi didn't even ask why Zhuge Lan carried out this "prank"!
Truly…a terrifyingly clear-headed man!
Between the "Soul Arena interest consortium" and the "Zhuge Family," he firmly chose the latter.
If it were someone muddle-headed, they'd definitely be reluctant to give up the huge benefits and status of the former.
Zhuge Lan was very satisfied with this attitude.
So he stopped fooling around.
And directly said—
"Uncle Ning, do you want to control the thoughts of ninety percent of the people on the Douluo Continent?"
[Emotion Points +99999]
[Emotion Points +66666]
Ning Fengzhi straightened his back with interest.
Chen Xin also stopped dwelling on the note.
Both waited quietly for Zhuge Lan to continue.
But Zhuge Lan suddenly changed the subject—
"Uncle Ning, those ultra-long-range fluctuation communication soul tools—since even the Soul Arenas are equipped with them."
"Why haven't they been mass-produced?"
Ning Fengzhi answered without hesitation—
"Because the core formations of those soul tools were dismantled from old soul tools found in ancient ruins."
"Thus, their numbers are extremely limited, and their actual transmission range isn't long—only one or two cities apart."
"For communication across more than three cities, a relay station is required."
"With six forces among the seven great families, if divided evenly, their effect would be minimal."
"That's why everyone unanimously agreed to use them only for internal Soul Arena communication."
So that's how it is.
Isn't this basically a radio?And one that can't be manufactured.
No wonder it was barely mentioned in the original work.
That makes things easy.
Zhuge Lan took out entertainment soul tools and handed one each to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.
—Modeled after Nokia, a magic-modified soul power version of a phone.
This time it had been slightly upgraded, replicating the Huawei Mate Xs 2.Once unfolded, watching livestreams was incredibly satisfying.
But that was a later plan.
For now, it only had basic functions: calling, texting, photography, etc.
The only external app retained was—
Xunteng News!
When Ning Fengzhi learned how to operate it and opened it—
a dazzling array of news popped up.
[Zhuge Family Patriarch Zhuge Wangye once again holds a Divine Inheritance Event!]
[Zhuge Financial Authority Releases Data: Multiple Indicators Outline an Upward Economic Curve!]
[Zhuge Family Candidate Spends 300,000 to Secure First Place? Rumor!]
Just from the headlines—
Ning Fengzhi keenly noticed that these so-called "news" pieces were all enhancing the image of the "Zhuge Family"!
It's often said rumors stop with the wise.
But most people are ignorant.
They only believe rumors—so whoever speaks first gains widespread recognition.
If…one possessed such a simple "channel of voice" in hand.
Letting the majority see what he wants them to see,hear what he wants them to hear.
Then naturally, one could control the mouths of the majority, making them say what he wants them to say!
This…is what Zhuge Lan meant by—
controlling the thoughts of ninety percent of the Douluo Continent?
Then the premise of everything must be—
....
