Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 179 Frightening Ning Rongrong to Tears, Compensation
Xu Xin's words made Gu Rong feel humiliated. For so many years, no one had dared to speak to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School like that.

The ancient banyan tree continued to ponder.

He knew the people from the Shadow Palace; most of them were low-level titles, and none of them were above level 95, so they probably weren't from the Shadow Palace.

Level 95 isn't something you can break through so quickly. He's been stuck at level 95 for many years and hasn't broken through yet.

Even a title from the Shadow Palace couldn't possibly break through to level 95 in just a few years.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that they are from the Shadow Palace. The main reason is that the powerful figures of the Shadow Palace never appear in people's sight, as they are all undergoing divine trials.

Those major powers had no idea just how powerful the Shadow Palace was.

"Old Swordsman and Feng Zhi once said that there was a very strong woman in the Shadow Palace, but the person in the carriage now is a man, so he is obviously not from the Shadow Palace."

"As for the other titles, they are almost all low-level and not that strong."

Gu Rong kept thinking, trying to confirm that this person was not from the Shadow Palace; everything else was irrelevant.

Even if it were the Spirit Hall, Gu Rong wouldn't be afraid; his only concern was the Shadow Hall.

After some thought, I realized that the Shadow Palace didn't have any powerful titled men, only Dugu Bo, and judging from his voice, he wasn't the right one. Even if a new titled man appeared, he would only be of a low rank.

A powerful woman would not likely ride in the same carriage as a man; women of the highest rank are all proud.

As for the Shadow Hall Master? He was only a Soul King back then. After all these years, breaking through to Soul Douluo is already the highest he can hope for. As for a title? Impossible. The youngest person to hold a title is Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect.

How old is the Shadow Palace Master? A title? How is that possible?

"You must be from the Spirit Hall, right?"

"Does Your Excellency intend to become an enemy of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Gu Rong snorted coldly. Now that it was confirmed to be the Spirit Hall, why be cowardly? They were going to get along anyway.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin frowned. Are all the people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School this brainless? Or has spoiling Ning Rongrong turned them into this?

Is it worth it for a child?

Perhaps it was worth it. At least in Gu Rong and Sword Douluo's hearts, Ning Rongrong was the most worthwhile, and even sacrificing her life would be justifiable.

Having figured this out, Xu Xin simply gave a cold laugh.

"Bridget, wait for me."

With that, Xu Xin stepped out of the carriage, and a burst of soul power sent the coachman away from the place.

Brigitte said nothing, but a barely perceptible smile appeared in her eyes. This feeling seems alright.

Outside the car, with each step Xu Xin took, a spirit ring appeared beneath his feet: yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red!
"How do you want to die?"

Xu Xin didn't care about any of that. He just stared coldly at Gu Rong, showing her no respect whatsoever.

Three 100,000-year soul rings, the fourth ring is black.

The fourth black ring, apart from the Shadow Lord, is the only one left in the world today.

Even Tang Hao, the youngest Title Douluo, did not have a black fourth ring.

"You...you are the Lord of the Shadow Palace?" Gu Rong's expression changed drastically. He immediately realized he had gotten himself into trouble. Damn it, he really deserved to die!

Gu Rong glanced awkwardly at Ning Rongrong beside him. The little girl was terrified, as the terrifying soul power relentlessly pressed down on them.

"Hehe, I'm not."

"But you made me very unhappy today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xin launched a punch. The speed was so fast that before Gu Rong could react, Xu Xin quickly unleashed his fighting techniques, landing punches and kicks on Gu Rong.

Xu Xin didn't hold back, delivering a heavy punch that sent Gu Rong flying.

"If you are not satisfied, I don't mind destroying your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Xu Xin withdrew his soul power and spoke coldly.

Then, Xu Xin squatted down and looked at the small Ning Rongrong in front of him. At this moment, Ning Rongrong was already in tears, afraid, her body trembling slightly. Even her own grandfather had been defeated, was she going to die?

"You don't want your sect to be destroyed, do you?"

Xu Xin looked at Ning Rongrong with a half-smile, his voice smirking.

"Wow!!"

Ning Rongrong was immediately terrified and burst into tears. Xu Xin's appearance was completely etched into her mind, to the point that it became a nightmare for her.

"boring."

Xu Xin got up, too lazy to pay her any attention.

The battle here quickly attracted Sword Douluo and his group. Just as Xu Xin turned to leave, Sword Douluo arrived.

Seeing Ning Rongrong crying loudly, his heart ached instantly, completely ignoring the Bone Douluo who was lying limp to the side with his broken bones.

In an instant, sword intent surged, and the Seven Kill Sword roared forth...

"Your Mightiness!"

Sword Douluo spoke coldly.

Xu Xin turned around coldly and looked at Sword Douluo: "It seems that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wants to be destroyed."

In short, Sword Douluo's sword immediately weakened...

"Chen Xin greets the Palace Master."

Sword Douluo's expression changed. The soul power displayed by the opponent had already surpassed his own. The waters of the Shadow Palace were quite deep.

"Half of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's assets must be handed over to the Shadow Hall in three days, or face annihilation!"

Xu Xin originally only wanted to teach them a lesson, but just now, Sword Douluo clearly showed his killing intent towards him. Since that's the case, why should he show mercy?

After Xu Xin finished speaking, he returned to the carriage. With a flap of his Evil God Wings, the carriage exploded. He then carried Bi Ji away from there, and when he reappeared, he was already at the other end of Tian Dou City.

Sword Douluo was stunned when he heard Xu Xin's words. It had only been a few years since they last met, and the other party had become so strong. This time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was doomed.

Holding Ning Rongrong in one arm and carrying Gu Rong in the other, he left the place with a solemn expression the whole way.

“Charm…”

Upon returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo recounted the events to Ning Fengzhi, with Gu Rong providing additional details.

Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile; things had gotten serious.

A titled Douluo, a young one at that, stronger than Tang Hao, with three 100,000-year soul rings, plus so many other titled Douluos from the Shadow Hall.

This time, it would be difficult for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to avoid paying a price: "Uncle Jian, take Uncle Gu to heal first. I'll handle the rest."

"Rongrong, come here. From now on, you are not allowed to leave your room, and it won't matter who comes!"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong kneeling on the ground and spoke coldly, showing no mercy. If she hadn't acted recklessly, this wouldn't have happened.

Just as Gu Douluo was about to say something, Jian Douluo stopped him, implying that they could secretly take him out later.

Ning Fengzhi didn't blame Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. He could still distinguish right from wrong, and he wasn't worried about things that could be solved with money.

He never expected that the Soul King from back then would now be a titled figure, and a title even more powerful than Sword Douluo.

"Shadow Palace, Shadow Palace, have I really done something wrong?"

Ning Fengzhi pondered, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of his seat, constantly weighing in his mind whether to continue joining the Three Sects of the Same Blood Alliance or to submit to the Shadow Palace.

For a moment, he was conflicted. He was the leader of a sect, how could he possibly submit to someone else?

His pride wouldn't allow it; even if the benefits were sufficient, he wouldn't want to. Otherwise, he would have already pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall, and things wouldn't have come to this.

"It's so difficult, so very difficult..."

Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile.
