Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

The stall owner was a simple man. He said, "Customers, why don't you come at night? If you buy paper lanterns now, you won't be able to see their original appearance."

"There won't be many outsiders coming to join in the fun this year, so the street won't be very crowded at night."

"Alright."

Ning Tianchen took out the gold soul coins from his soul guide and paid for the paper lanterns that Ning Rongrong had taken a fancy to.

The two turned and left the street, planning to find a restaurant nearby to have a meal.

We are used to sleeping in the open air along the way, so we always have to eat something good.

In the afternoon, when the two were strolling in the city, they discovered that the Spirit Hall had sent a large number of manpower into the city, apparently to maintain order at the lantern festival.

Ning Tianchen took Ning Rongrong and sat down in a teahouse.

He couldn't help but wonder, "It's just a lantern festival, does the Spirit Hall need to send out so many elites?"

Among those Spirit Hall people who maintain order, almost all of them are powerful soul kings or above, and there are also quite a few soul saints.

At present, Ning Tianchen has not found any Soul Douluo-level strongman, but he thinks that when the Lantern Festival begins, there will definitely be a Soul Douluo-level strongman appearing.

Yelin City is just a small border town. The fact that the Spirit Hall has arranged so many people to gather here is bound to make people think a lot.

Ning Tianchen even felt that once the Spirit Hall took action against the two of them, they would be unable to escape.

It is obviously not worth sacrificing your life for a lantern festival.

Ning Rongrong said worriedly, "Brother Tianchen, how about we go first?"

Ning Tianchen was a little conflicted.

At the beginning, he promised Ning Rongrong that he would bring her to Yelin City to participate in the Lantern Festival.

If you miss it this year, you won’t have another chance for a long time.

After thinking for a while, Ning Tianchen analyzed: "There are only three reasons why the Spirit Hall made such an arrangement."

First, the Spirit Hall thought that the Xingluo Empire would attack Yelin City at night or cause trouble during the Lantern Festival. They sent out such a large number of security teams to ensure that the Lantern Festival could proceed normally.

Secondly, the Spirit Hall wanted to use the Lantern Festival as an excuse to capture someone in the city.

This is also what Ning Tianchen is most worried about.

His and Ning Rongrong's talents are undoubtedly the biggest danger in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Especially since Asura God and Rakshasa God are mortal enemies, it is not ruled out that Rakshasa God secretly ordered Bibi Dong to attack him.

The last reason is that some important figures from the Spirit Hall are coming here to participate in the Lantern Festival, and these security forces are to ensure that the safety of important figures is not threatened.

No matter what the reason was, Ning Tianchen didn't dare to gamble.

Right now, the best option is to leave Yelin City and return to the sect.

After a long silence, Ning Tianchen sighed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Rongrong, I'm afraid I can't fulfill my original promise. For our safety, we will leave the city soon."

Ning Rongrong did not object, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Tianchen, Rongrong knows. In the future, when we hold a large-scale lantern festival in Tiandou City, it will be the same."

Ning Tianchen rubbed her forehead and nodded seriously.

After paying for the tea, the two walked out of the teahouse.

Suddenly, Ning Tianchen frowned.

At some point, a large number of Spirit Hall warriors had gathered outside the teahouse.

With so many people attacking them, it would be difficult for the two of them to break through successfully.

Just as he was preparing for the worst, a middle-aged man in the robes of a cardinal from the Spirit Hall stepped forward and bowed to them, saying, "Lord Ning, Miss Ning, I'm sorry to bother you. An elder in the hall asked me to help pass on a message, hoping that Lord Ning would return to Tiandou City as soon as possible. Someone is waiting for you!"

"wait for me?"

Ning Tianchen was puzzled at first, but soon understood the reason.

It seems that Qian Renxue did not leave the Tiandou Empire after the palace coup. Perhaps, the other party wanted to explain something to him in person.

"I see. What about tonight?" Ning Tianchen pretended to be surprised and asked, "Your Spirit Hall is making such a big fuss just for a lantern festival?"

The cardinal did not seem to be Bibi Dong's man. He said without disguising, "There is an important person in the palace who will come here to participate in the Lantern Festival. If Earl Ning is interested, he can stay and play for a night. There is no need to rush."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about your own safety."

After saying this, at the call of the cardinal, the people from the Spirit Hall immediately withdrew.

"Brother Tianchen, do you know anyone from the Spirit Hall?" Ning Rongrong was puzzled, but there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She had been in contact with Ning Tianchen for a long time, but she didn't know that he had any connection with the people in the Spirit Hall, especially the elders of the Spirit Hall.

Ning Tianchen did not say it clearly, but said vaguely: "This elder has a good relationship with the old guy. He asked me to go there this time, so he must have something important to tell me."

"Rongrong, I heard from this senior that there is not much unity within the Spirit Hall. Perhaps this senior and Pope Bibi Dong belong to different factions."

Ning Rongrong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, there is no need to dig into them.

Thinking of this, she suddenly took Ning Tianchen's arm and smiled, "Brother Tianchen, in this case, we don't have to leave tonight, let's stay and visit the Lantern Festival."

Ning Tianchen had no reason to refuse.

……

As night fell and the sky was dotted with stars, the lights of Yellin City gradually lit up, as if stars had fallen into the mortal world.

Lanterns are hung high on both sides of the street, and the colorful paper lanterns emit a soft light, reflecting the joyful faces of passers-by.

The red lanterns hanging above the shops are magnificent and as gorgeous as a palace.

The vendors carried their loads on their shoulders and walked through the streets, hawking all kinds of lanterns and snacks in a melodious voice.

The children, holding lotus lanterns, laughed and moved among the crowd, as free as fish swimming in the water.

On the bluestone road, ladies in long satin dresses were graceful and elegant, holding paper lanterns and laughing. Their graceful figures and the lights complemented each other, as if they were swimming in a painting. In the center of the lantern festival, a huge dragon lantern was flying in the clouds, with its dragon head raised high, its body circling, and its tail swaying, as if it was about to fly up to the sky.

Children sat around it, staring at the breathtaking lights.

On the lantern stall not far away, the exquisite lanterns competed with each other in beauty, with flowers, birds, insects, fish, landscapes and people, so lifelike that people could not help but linger.

"so beautiful."

Ning Rongrong was completely intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

Almost all the vendors who passed by her were taken care of by her.

Ning Tianchen couldn't help but sigh, "I hope this scene can continue forever."

The lights of thousands of homes are connected together, like a beautiful painting.

Such a beautiful scenery can only appear in peace and prosperity. Once war comes, the beautiful scenery will collapse.

Compared with previous years, this year's Lantern Festival in Yellin City is much quieter.

The Lantern Festival is a special festival for people in the city, and almost every household makes paper lanterns.

There were very few customers choosing paper and other items in front of the stalls.

When they reached an arch bridge, Ning Rongrong pointed at both sides of the stream and said anxiously, "Brother Tianchen, let's go release the paper boat."

After buying a few paper boats, the two stood by the river. Ning Rongrong held her hands in front of her and made a praying gesture. She lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Tianchen, I heard that if you write your wish on a paper boat and then put it back into the river, your wish will come true."

"Really? Then I have to think carefully about what wish to make."

Ning Tianchen pretended to think for a moment, then pointed his right hand like a sword, with soul power gathering at his fingertips.

Using soul power as ink and fingers as pen, he wrote his wish on a piece of paper and stuffed it into a paper boat, which then floated away on the water.

Ning Rongrong thought for a long time before writing down her wish on a piece of paper.

The vendor selling paper boats smiled and said, "I wish all your wishes come true."

Before the two could react, a group of people hurried over and politely asked them to leave.

"They are from the Spirit Hall."

Ning Tianchen pulled Ning Rongrong's arm and stepped aside.

He also wanted to see who the heavyweight figure in the Spirit Hall was that had such a grand ceremony.

"What a shame." Ning Rongrong muttered softly.

Soon, a woman in a lavender court dress, surrounded by a group of Spirit Hall warriors, stopped on the bridge and watched with her eyes flickering.

The people behind her retreated tactfully.

"Bibi Dong!" Ning Tianchen frowned.

He didn't expect that Bibi Dong would come here in person.

If you think about it, this seems to be expected.

If Bibi Dong didn't want to come here, why would she hold the lantern festival!
Bibi Dong also noticed Ning Tianchen, but after a quick glance, she looked away, seemingly not caring about his presence.

"Brother Tianchen, the two Titled Douluo from the Pope's Palace are here too."

Ning Rongrong pointed to the other side of the stream calmly.

Jue Gui Douluo is originally Bibi Dong's man, so it is not surprising that he appears with her.

Ning Tianchen suddenly remembered that he had tried to recruit Ju Douluo.

Due to the huge disparity in strength, Ju Douluo might not have taken it seriously.

For Ning Tianchen, being able to recruit Jue Wu Douluo would undoubtedly cut off Bibi Dong's arms, which would be beneficial to the future situation on the continent.

But the reality is that he will never have the chance to have one-on-one contact with Jue Wu Douluo again, and this idea can only remain at the theoretical level.

Following Jue Wu Douluo is the golden generation of the Spirit Hall.

After returning from the City of Slaughter, Hu Liena immediately told Ning Tianchen everything.

During the Soul Master Competition, Ning Tianchen's strength was able to suppress them. Ever since he obtained the Killing God Domain, his strength has transformed, and now he has become the goal that the golden generation needs to look up to.

Yan clenched his fists and said with a firm look: "Hmph, just wait, one day I will trample you under my feet."

Xie Yue patted his shoulder and said, "You have ambition, but Ning Tianchen is already a Soul Saint. I hope you can catch up."

With his strength, he naturally couldn't tell Ning Tianchen's depth, but it was Ju Douluo who told him.

……

"She wants to see when."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but mutter.

Bibi Dong stood on the bridge in a daze for a long time, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

As the novelty in her heart was extinguished, Ning Rongrong lost interest in participating in the lantern festival and returned to the hotel with Ning Tianchen.

"I'm so pissed off. I haven't had enough fun yet and someone comes to disturb us." Ning Rongrong said angrily while sitting on the sofa.

Ning Tianchen sat beside her and comforted her: "At least, we have experienced the beauty of the Lantern Festival."

"At the Lantern Festival, the most important thing is to join in the fun. If you do something like Bibi Dong, where is the fun?"

After some persuasion, Ning Rongrong no longer bothered about it.

After releasing the paper boats back into the river, they completed the Lantern Festival process.

Late at night, Ning Tianchen suddenly opened his eyes, ended his training, and looked out the window fiercely, "Hu Liena, I told you, it's rude to peek outside the door!"

Compared to when he was in the City of Slaughter, he obviously had lost his murderous intent at this moment.

He waved his hand and the door of the room slowly opened.

Hu Liena walked into the room with graceful steps, covered her face and chuckled, "I thought you would live with her."

The situation on the mainland is tense, so Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong must speed up their cultivation and naturally will not stay together for a long time.

Ning Tianchen did not explain to the other party, but asked: "Why did you come here alone? This is not the city of killing, you don't need help!"

Hu Liena put away the smile on her face, sat on the sofa beside her, and said calmly: "After you left the Slaughter City, Tang San also came. However, his face changed, and he changed his name to Tang Yin."

"A few days ago, the Tiandou Empire wanted Tang Yin, who was also Tang San. Don't be fooled by him."

Ning Tianchen's face was calm, "If this is the only thing, you can leave."

Hu Liena was not surprised by his behavior.

What she said just now was just an introduction, meant to get closer to Ning Tianchen. Her real purpose was revealed at this moment.

"You and I are both geniuses. The future of the continent will definitely belong to us. Join us and contribute to the unification of the continent."

Ning Tianchen asked back: "Why should I go with you?"

Hu Liena continued, "The existence of Tiandou and Xingluo Empire is the root cause of the turmoil on the continent. You are a smart person and should know how to choose."

"Teacher said that if you join us, teacher will personally help you hunt for a hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone. You and I will be the sharp sword that unifies the continent."

Ning Tianchen said slowly: "You know, the boy who slays a dragon eventually becomes a dragon."

"What's the difference between Wuhun Hall and the two empires in launching a war across the entire continent?"

Hu Liena disagreed and said, "The difference is that we will succeed in the end, and history will record our just war."

Ning Tianchen shrugged helplessly.

The unification of the mainland is also his goal, but it must never turn into a dictatorship.

The Spirit Hall has unified the continent. Given Bibi Dong's personality, there is a high probability that she will mess around on the continent, which will only make things more chaotic.

"If you have nothing to do, you can leave. I don't want to argue with you about right or wrong, it's meaningless." Ning Tianchen lost interest in chatting.

Hu Liena sat up and added before leaving: "My invitation is valid forever, but don't leave it too late, otherwise it will lose its value."

"Oh, right. Remember the rabbit in the Soul Master Competition? She was sacrificed to Tang San, so Tang San has a hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone. If you meet him, you have to be careful."

After saying that, she left the room.

How could Ning Tianchen, who had a God's perspective, not know what Hu Liena said?

The only thing he wanted to pay attention to was Tang San's movements.

The development of things has gone off track, and the next step is the real test. (End of this chapter)
