...
His Dao Heart was nearly shattered. If it were not for the fact that there was truly no one else capable of stepping up on the Family's side, Sect Master Yu Xiaolie, who was only a Spirit Saint at the time, would have had no possibility whatsoever of stepping up to become the new acting Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!
Then, relying on the Family's support, he barely managed to become a Spirit Douluo.
The current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect could be considered fallen, as an Upper Three Sects without even a single Titled Douluo.
It was simply because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had a large number of Spirit Douluo, counting Sect Master Yu Xiaolie, they just barely had 10 Spirit Douluo; otherwise, the Lower Four Sects would have already provoked the status of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect as one of the Upper Three Sects.
The hatred between Luo Nan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had long since become an irreconcilable dead end.
At this moment, inside the grand hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the atmosphere was even more gloomy, as if it was about to drip water.
Ning Fengzhi sat upon the Sect Master's throne, his expression as gloomy as water.
In his hand, he clutched a piece of intelligence that had just been delivered, which detailed the grand occasion of the Moon Pavilion over the past few days, as well as the fawning acts towards Luo Nan by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and various major nobles.
"Bang!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, seated at the lower seat, abruptly slammed a table, and the hard golden-thread nanmu tabletop instantly turned into fine powder.
"Simply bullying others too intolerably! Simply going too far!"
Chen Xin's eyes were bloodred, and his chest was heaving violently.
Although his right arm had undergone treatment with a top-grade Medicinal Pill, it still ached faintly.
"Fengzhi, could it be that we are just going to watch with wide-open eyes as that arrogant brat swaggers and throws his weight around in Heaven Dou City?"
"Watching him step on the face of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to enjoy the flattery of those nobles?!" Chen Xin said, gritting his teeth, his voice filled with unwillingness.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, rubbed his swollen glabella, and smiled bitterly, saying:
"Uncle Sword, how could I possibly swallow this breath?"
"However, you have witnessed Luo Nan's strength with your own eyes."
"Level ninety-five, dual hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, and that terrifying disembodied Spirit..."
"If Uncle Bone were still alive, relying on your and Uncle Bone's strength, plus the auxiliary enhancement I gave you from the side, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not necessarily fear his Luo Nan!"
"But Uncle Bone passed away not long ago, and my wife has not yet reached Titled Douluo; right now, even if we exhaust our full strength, we might not necessarily be able to contend with him."
"What is more, he is currently at the height of his popularity, and even Emperor Xue Ye is trying hard to win him over. If we rashly make a move, I am afraid we will invite disaster upon ourselves."
Ning Fengzhi had experienced a mixture of all sorts of feelings these past few days.
On one hand, as the Sect Master, he rationally thought that they should prepare a generous gift to send to the Moon Pavilion, using the opportunity of Tang Yuehua giving birth to resolve the previous conflicts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, having an extra super powerhouse as a friend was always better than making an enemy.
But on the other hand, the pride in his heart and the dignity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect made him unable to swallow this foul breath no matter what.
Dignified as one of the Upper Three Sects, they actually had to bow their heads and admit cowardice to a wet-behind-the-ears kid with no background at all?
If this were to spread out, how would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect establish itself in the Spirit Master's world in the future?
"Could it be that we are just going to let it go like this?!"
Chen Xin roared, "This old man cannot swallow this breath! Even if I risk this old life, I will make him pay the price!"
"Uncle Sword, please do not be angry."
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly placated him, his brain spinning at high speed, trying to find a glimmer of survival in this seemingly unsolvable dead end.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Ning Fengzhi's mind.
He abruptly stood up, pacing back and forth inside the grand hall, his gaze growing brighter and brighter, even leaking a trace of a sinister, sharp glint.
"Uncle Sword, do you still remember a piece of intelligence transmitted back by our spies planted in Heaven Dou City a few months ago?" Ning Fengzhi stopped his footsteps and looked towards Chen Xin.
Chen Xin frowned: "What intelligence?"
"Regarding the Clear Sky Sect." A cold sneer curled up at the corner of Ning Fengzhi's mouth.
"The spy reported that the Clear Sky Sect had once secretly dispatched an Elder to go to the Moon Pavilion, seemingly wanting to find Tang Yuehua to provide funds to support the Clear Sky Sect."
"But the result was that that Elder had his limbs broken by the people of the Moon Pavilion, and was thrown onto the main street like throwing garbage."
Hearing this, Chen Xin's eyes brightened slightly: "You mean..."
"This explains that the Moon Pavilion and the Clear Sky Sect have, with high probability, completely turned hostile!" Ning Fengzhi's tone became excited.
"That madman Luo Nan, relying on his own powerful strength, doesn't put anyone in his eyes at all."
"Not only did he slap the face of the Clear Sky Sect, but he also has an irreconcilable mortal enmity with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"Sect Master Yu Xiaolie forged a personal grudge with him; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect definitely wishes nothing more than to eat his flesh and drink his blood!"
The more Ning Fengzhi spoke, the more excited he became. He seemed to see a huge net tightly enveloping Luo Nan.
"Uncle Sword, think about it. Although Luo Nan is strong, no matter how strong he is, he is still just one person!"
"Right now, he has simultaneously offended our Upper Three Sects!"
"If it were just our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect alone, we truly couldn't do anything to him. But what if... the Upper Three Sects unite?"
Chen Xin drew in a cold breath, shocked by Ning Fengzhi's bold idea:
"Unite the Upper Three Sects? This... is this possible? The Clear Sky Sect has already lived in seclusion, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is currently unable to even look after themselves..."
"Nothing is impossible! An enemy's enemy is a friend!"
Ning Fengzhi said decisively:
"Luo Nan's existence has severely threatened the status and dignity of our Upper Three Sects. As long as we explain the stakes to them, I do not believe the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect can swallow this breath!"
"As long as the Upper Three Sects launch trouble simultaneously, even if that Luo Nan is an immortal descending to the mortal world, it is absolutely impossible for him to cope with the counterattack of our three Sects!"
"By then, not only can we exact revenge for the Star Dou Great Forest with a single arrow, but we can also completely eradicate this major threat in our hearts!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned around and issued an order towards the shadows outside the grand hall.
"Men, come here!"
Several elite spies dressed in black instantly appeared inside the grand hall, kneeling on one knee.
"Transmit my Sect Master's order!"
"First, mobilize all dark networks and intelligence forces of the Sect, and at all costs, find the specific location where the Clear Sky Sect closed its Sect for me!"
"Once found, report back immediately. I want to personally visit Sect Master Tang Xiao!"
"Second, arrange the most capable personnel to secretly head to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"Go see their new Sect Master Sect Master Yu Xiaolie, and say that I, Ning Fengzhi, have important matters to discuss, and ask him to be sure to secretly come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to discuss matters."
"Tell him, this matter... concerns Luo Nan's life and death!"
"Yes! Sect Master!"
The black-clothed spies received the order and instantly transformed into several black figures, disappearing outside the grand hall.
Looking at the direction the spies left, Ning Fengzhi sat back down upon the Sect Master's throne.
He picked up the teacup on the table, took a light sip, and a cold arc curved up at the corner of his mouth.
"Luo Nan, oh Luo Nan, you truly are a one-in-ten-thousand Genius. Unfortunately, you are too arrogant."
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This time, I want to see what you will use to withstand the anger of the Upper Three Sects!"
