Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Ning Rongrong, who had initially seemed to be talking to herself, suddenly changed the subject, "Am I right? Ice Emperor?"

After a few moments of silence, a faint voice rang out, "Commander, do you know I'm here?"

"I don't know, but Uncle Jian does."

The curtain of the main tent was lifted again, and a familiar figure came into Ning Rongrong's view.

The visitor showed no hostility, but rather a kind smile. "I see."

"Ling Yunzhi, Dean Ling?" Ning Rongrong's words were incomprehensible to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi's youngest daughter's maturity has far exceeded his expectations. Just how much has the little devil grown up?

"It's impossible that His Majesty the Immortal was not involved in the plan to unify the continent, nor could he truly be just a lazy young man. Am I right?"

The youngest daughter's words instantly opened Ning Fengzhi's mind, "Rongrong, do you mean that His Majesty the Immortal was actually involved in their transfer?"

"Yes, Father, this is not a simple tactical arrangement, nor is it an equal distribution of strength."

The two lords, Porcupine and Serpent Spear, together with Dean Sword Uncle Ling, completed an absolute blockade of Star Luo City.

The seemingly random arrangement by others is actually a form of checks and balances.

The most direct result of this deployment is that Your Majesty has almost absolute control over our faction!

Yes, Ning Fengzhi realized that Xue Qinghe was too powerful, so much so that his brilliance overshadowed many crucial things.

To achieve what he did, conquering almost the entire Star Luo Empire in just a few months as easily as a hot knife through butter, solid strength on paper was essential.

But the requirements for this level of control are even higher!

Beneath Xue Qinghe's radiance lay the celestial being, Douluo Qianshui, who was revered behind him.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi also recalled the past, the shadow that still hangs over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the life-saving money of 20 million gold soul coins every year!

Although he remained hidden behind the scenes, the man was no fool. Ning Fengzhi gripped the jeweled scepter in his hand so tightly it creaked. He desperately wanted to know, desperately wanted to know, who the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been working for all these years!

Just as Ning Fengzhi was staring intently at Ling Yunzhi, who was smiling with his eyes narrowed, Ning Rongrong asked on his behalf, "Ice Emperor, can you tell me what exactly happened after the Elite Tournament back then?"

“Rongrong, you…” Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Ning Rongrong and was extremely surprised. He never expected that his youngest daughter had reached such a level.

When I finally understood that the immortal prince was in this situation, I started to wonder why.

And all of this almost points to one point in time, namely the Elite Tournament held in Heaven Dou City in Douluo Calendar 2634!

That was a pivotal moment, the first time His Majesty and Brother Xue met, and the time when they became friends.

Father, you failed to assassinate His Majesty back then, didn't you?

"Rongrong, what's wrong with you..." Gu Rong's surprise and Ning Fengzhi's silence answered Ning Rongrong.

"I've always wondered why Father is getting busier and busier, and why Grandpa Sword spends less and less time at the sect. No matter how I ask, you all give me the runaround." Recalling the past, Ning Rongrong shook her head with a wry smile, "It seems His Majesty has implicated our entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."

"I don't know what he did back then, but he did give the unusual order that we leave Tiandou City as soon as possible, except for himself."

Because of his personality, he never gives direct orders. We naturally value his directness, which is why we left Tiandou City the very night the elite tournament ended.

"I see..." Ling Yunzhi's reply also answered Ning Fengzhi's doubts.

When exactly did Qian Shui's teammates leave?

Ning Rongrong didn't dwell on this issue. "So that's why the operation failed. Father, a crucial part of your plan went wrong!"

"The reason for the failure?!"

Ning Fengzhi had also considered this issue. It was simply that there was an additional level 97 peak Douluo, which completely ruined the plan to kill the two titled Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, along with Qian Shui. This was a difference in raw strength.

But after Ning Rongrong's analysis, Ning Fengzhi finally realized the key point: "Qinghe?!"

The level of secrecy surrounding the operation was unprecedented.

The attack targeting the entire Elite Tournament champion team, along with the two Super Douluo, must not be exposed.

The operation was originally based on wishful thinking, and luckily, although the Spirit Hall took it seriously, they only sent Chrysanthemum and Ghost.

If this operation is exposed, the most terrifying consequence will be facing the Spirit Hall's retaliation, followed by the complete destruction of the reputation of the Heaven Dou Empire and even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi was extremely cautious about this matter, and even personally led the two swordsmen, Jian Gu and others.

This is why Qian Shui hesitated to act rashly when he had taken the rest of the people but only released Ning Fengzhi and the two titled individuals.

Strength and gold coins are merely visible assets; the most important thing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the reputation accumulated over generations. They may do the dirty work, but they cannot let it become widely known.

Otherwise, how many hot-blooded young men will be lost, no longer choosing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

People are the most important factor, while gold soul coins are the least important. That's why Ning Fengzhi agreed to Qian Shui's proposal almost without thinking.

Currently, apart from the Spirit Hall, only Emperor Xue Ye is still alive and knows the whole story; everyone else is dead.

Including that mole, Xue Qinghe!

"What kind of interests could bring Your Majesty and Brother Xue to such a relationship? Affection? Perhaps, but not all. Only interests!"

Ning Rongrong was extremely unfathomable at this moment. Ning Fengzhi was still thinking, but Ling Yunzhi felt that the girl in front of him was no longer a fifteen-year-old girl.

"Father, Brother Xue used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to acquire the resources to seize the entire Douluo Continent!"

Inside the large tent, Ling Yunzhi remained unchanged, possessing the strength of a child yet heading towards becoming a future Immortal Douluo, and the wisdom of a child was equally remarkable.

The atmosphere inside the tent was tense. Ning Rongrong's guess was probably true. This would directly indicate that the person behind all these years was Xue Qinghe.

And he, the crown prince of the empire, has been cooperating with the Spirit Hall.

"Your Majesty the Ice Emperor, he, or they, ultimately chose me, didn't they?"

Ling Yunzhi, who was locked on by the two swordsmen, remained calm. Ning Rongrong's words were not straightforward enough, so he could only explain himself, "I don't know what he did to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but he didn't harm you, did he?"

It cannot be said that Qian Shui's second martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but some facts cannot be simply ignored.

"So, I should thank that little bastard Qian Shui for harming the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for so many years?" Gu Rong finally made it clear that Qian Shui was able to escape the assassination attempt back then because Xue Qinghe leaked the information.

"Sect Leader Ning, can you imagine that if things had developed normally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be the power it is today?"

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Knowing the enemy is sometimes simpler than knowing yourself. Clearly, Ning Rongrong had a clearer understanding than her elders. "Leaving aside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's business, my personal position is enough, isn't it?"

"Roughly the same…"

If Qian Shui doesn't want to play by himself, then he has to find someone to take his place. Even if he tells these people that Qian Shui's bloodline comes from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they will most likely just understand it as a result of his bloodline, which is why he pushed Ning Rongrong up.

But his teammates saw it more clearly: it was because Qian Shui had no other choice.

There are actually very few people who have the ability to control all of this. The one in the Papal Palace is one, Yin Jin, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, is half a person, and his teammates together might be one person. The rest is the little sister that Qian Shui is trying his best to cultivate.

If Bibi Dong could, Qian Shui shouldn't have run away. As for Yin Jin and the others, they shouldn't have any wild ideas. Only Ning Rongrong...

She may seem incompetent, but her identity is perfect.

Aside from Ning Huahua, she is undoubtedly the next sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. None of her brothers received personal instruction from Qian Shui, so her inherent strength is absolutely guaranteed for the future.

In fact, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has become the number one sect in the world, is now much stronger than before. In terms of business alone, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has almost as many branches as the Spirit Hall.

That's why Ling Yunzhi asked them if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have ended up like this if it had developed normally. Their development itself was the result of manipulation and tacit approval.

Finally, Ning Rongrong was pushed into the position of supreme ruler by Qian Shui. Although she did not actually hold the position, the entire war could be said to have been designed for this girl.

Not only his teammates, but also the subordinates of the Spirit Hall and other spirit beast friends, all saw this war that Qian Shui had prepared as paving the way for Ning Rongrong.

This is why his attitude wasn't very good. Ling Yunzhi was still the same Ling Yunzhi. Although he accepted Qian Shui's advice, he would compromise on many things, even kneeling down and selling himself.

But he should at least consider whether the people he's selling to are worth it, right?

Ning Fengzhi, however, did not think so. He only felt sorry for his youngest daughter. "Rongrong, come with Daddy. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can still remain unscathed!"

"Want to leave? Do you think you can?!"

As soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, before anyone noticed, a dark purple figure suddenly appeared inside the tent.

"Dad, I won't leave. If I leave, the Ice Emperor will be disappointed, won't he?"

Ignoring the impact of the violent soul power, Ning Rongrong smiled confidently, "Especially when you have absolute strength!"

"Absolute strength?! With just you guys?" The demon, clearly there to execute a sales plan, was amused by these words, and a huge scythe appeared in her hand. "What a joke!"

The two Super Douluo, Jian Gu and Bone, stood in front of Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi without hesitation, and Ling Yunzhi and Xiao Wu were also ready for battle.

"Humanity is insignificant, and the way of Heaven is boundless..." At this moment, Qian Shuishui's aura surged even more, her hands forming hand seals, and golden light flashed around her, silently dispelling the strange aura that was invading her.

"Back then, besides His Highness the Immortal and His Excellency the Ice Emperor, Sister Chen Sha and her husband were on the Eastern battlefield, and Minister Yin and Ruo You were on the Western battlefield. So, who was the last person?"

Ling Yunzhi smiled. At this moment, he realized that Ning Rongrong was indeed a completely different person, and she might really deserve this position.

Because there is another person right here!

The giant sword swept across the sky, spreading a crimson aura. A violent and ferocious clang of metal clashing rang out, and the evil spirit was instantly cleaved out of the central command tent.

"The heavens are vigorous, and my way is flourishing!"

At this moment, the Killing God Domain clashed with the Rakshasa Domain, but both domains were completely blocked by Qian Shuishui alone, and could not invade Ning Rongrong's location at all.

"The war has reached this point, and the Wind Witch still hasn't shown up. That's strange enough, isn't it?"

A rumbling sound came from afar, and without a doubt, Dai Mubai's army had arrived.

"Indeed, war has broken out again, Commander. Give the order!"

Not disappointing Ling Yunzhi, Ning Rongrong picked up the helmet beside her and walked out of the tent. "While the enemy is still unsettled and their formation is not yet set, unleash a barrage of artillery fire!"

"Yes!"

Once a powerful trump card is revealed, you can play freely.

"First round of artillery preparation!" With Ning Rongrong personally directing the artillery positions, Dai Mubai would soon understand why Xingluo City was trapped.

The artillery's range wasn't as far as expected, but fortunately, there were solutions.

And now the world's number one support has also arrived. With the Seven Treasures True Form activated, 80% of the soul power amplification fell on Ning Fengzhi's beloved youngest daughter.

"Release!" At the same time, the Qimen formation beneath Ning Rongrong's feet unfolded. "Eight Gates, Move!"

“The character ‘Li’ (离) signifies a meteor shower!” Standing at the forefront of the position, Ning Rongrong looked at Qian Shuishui and Xiao Wu who had come to her side, and a bright smile finally appeared on her originally youthful face.

Her teammates didn't leave her out of betrayal, because they don't scheme against each other or worry about personal gain; they'll stand by her side as long as she needs them!

……

"Hey, Little Whitey! Long time no see!"
