Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 180 The cunning old man

In the next few days, Lordiara reappeared in the competition organizing committee, but he did not look very well. It was obvious that the previous actions of the Spirit Hall did not achieve any results, and he also suffered a great loss.

Dai Yaochen had anticipated this.

In order to kill Tang San, they ambushed the Tiandou Empire's team, but the success rate was not very high at the beginning.

Not to mention that Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin have been following the Tiandou Empire's team, even Tang Hao must have been secretly paying attention to Tang San's situation. With these people around, even if Bibi Dong personally took action, she might not be able to kill Tang San, not to mention that she only sent a few men, so failure was inevitable.

And with Lordiara's reappearance in the competition organizing committee, the participating teams from the two empires and many kingdoms and principalities have successfully arrived at the Spirit Hall. The finals of this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition is finally about to begin.

After Dai Yaochen had spent a day fishing in the organizing committee as usual, he was about to return to the hotel to meet the other academy teams from the Star Luo Empire that had advanced to the finals and encourage them as usual. However, just before Dai Yaochen returned to the hotel, two uninvited guests suddenly came to his door.

It is Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

In the past, Ning Fengzhi would always maintain a perfectly gentle and elegant image no matter what the situation was. However, when he came to see Dai Yaochen this time, his face was unusually cold, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Dai Yaochen.

Dai Yaochen naturally noticed Ning Fengzhi's expression, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he smiled and greeted Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin: "Sect Master Ning, Senior Chen Xin, long time no see. After we separated more than two years ago, I thought our next meeting would be in Xingluo Empire, but I didn't expect it to be in Wuhun City."

"It was so hard to meet you. I wanted to catch up with Sect Master Ning and Senior Chen Xin, but the finals of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is about to begin. I am in charge of the organizing committee of the competition and the affairs of the Xingluo Empire's participating team. I don't have much free time. So if Sect Master Ning and Senior Chen Xin have anything to ask me, you might as well tell me directly."

"Your Highness." Ning Fengzhi looked at Dai Yaochen deeply and said, "Two years ago, Prince Xuexing suddenly made trouble for our relationship, which made me very embarrassed. I wonder if this matter has anything to do with Your Highness?"

What Ning Fengzhi was talking about was, of course, what happened when Dai Yaochen's cheap father was conferred the title, and he promised to move part of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's power to the territory of the Xingluo Empire. Originally, this matter was carried out very secretly, but who knew that it would be suddenly exposed by Prince Xuexing, making Ning Fengzhi very embarrassed. It was because he accepted Tiandou Prince Xue Qinghe as his disciple that he was able to get away with this matter by relying on this relationship.

But even so, the relationship between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tiandou Imperial Family can no longer return to the way it was before. In the past, whenever Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth, Emperor Xue Ye would mobilize the power of the Tiandou Imperial Family to help without saying a word. However, now, although the Tiandou Imperial Family sometimes cooperates with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, most of the time they still shirk their responsibilities.

There was a tragically thick barrier between them.

The reason why the situation developed to this point was that Prince Xuexing exposed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's secret moves. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's secret moves were originally carried out very secretly. Ning Fengzhi believed that it would never have been leaked by his own people. Then the leak must have been done by the Xingluo Empire. Moreover, Dai Yaochen, the Crown Prince of Xingluo, was Ning Fengzhi's main suspect.

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Dai Yaochen wanted to laugh in his heart, but he still put on a surprised expression on the surface, as if he had not expected Ning Fengzhi to say that. He said in surprise: "What do you mean by this, Sect Master Ning? The matter we agreed on two years ago was discovered by the Tiandou Empire? Sect Master Ning suspected that I leaked it on purpose? How could I do such a thing? Could it be that someone inside the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect leaked it?"

"Your Highness, are you saying that there is a traitor in my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?" Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "I didn't expect that Your Highness would turn the tables. However, the cohesion within my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is extremely strong. Whether it is the inner or outer disciples, they are all absolutely loyal to the sect. I will not doubt them, so Your Highness, there is no need to instigate."

What the hell is this?
Dai Yaochen was complaining madly in his heart.

I don't know how many spies the Spirit Hall has planted in your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. They have been infiltrated like a sieve. Do you still need me to instigate them?
It was truly amazing. Although what he had done before had indeed harmed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it was actually beneficial to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in essence. However, it ended up causing Ning Fengzhi's disgust. As for the spies in the sect, Ning Fengzhi felt that such a thing was simply impossible to happen.

Dai Yaochen didn't know what to say about this situation.

I don't know whether Ning Fengzhi is a qualified leader of a big force. Maybe it's because he doesn't have strong fighting ability, so he is more adept at calculating. But no matter how much he calculates, he will only get himself involved in the end.

Just as Dai Yaochen was complaining in his heart, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Your Highness, there is no need to deny or push the issue back and forth. I have privately confirmed with Prince Xuexing before that it was indeed you who leaked the matter between us to him."

Uh, Prince Xuexing actually told Ning Fengzhi?

Dai Yaochen was a little surprised. This old guy really knows how to have fun.

Dai Yaochen had previously deliberately revealed the private cooperation between the Xingluo Empire and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to Prince Xuexing in the hope that Prince Xuexing would expose the matter and alienate the relationship between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tiandou Royal Family, thereby achieving a result that would be beneficial to the Xingluo Empire.

Unexpectedly, this old guy Prince Xuexing is even more adept at playing games. He just wanted to use this incident to influence the relationship between Ning Fengzhi and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Of course, he couldn't let Dai Yaochen get his wish and push the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect towards the Xing Luo Empire. So after he exposed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's private cooperation with the Xing Luo Empire, he turned around and sold out Dai Yaochen, saying that it was the Xing Luo Empire that betrayed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Prince Xuexing is a very cunning old fellow. Dai Yaochen found that he had underestimated him, so that the plan made more than two years ago had evolved to this point by accident.
