Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

A tearing sound rang out, and Chen Yao and his companion turned their heads to see Bibi Dong's figure appear in front of the courtyard gate. As for Qian Renxue, who had been with her earlier, she was nowhere to be found. However, judging from the slightly gleeful expression on Bibi Dong's face, Chen Yao guessed that Qian Renxue's fate was probably not going to be any better.

However, Chen Yao had no time to think about Qian Renxue. When he saw Bibi Dong arrive, his heart tightened. Even though he knew that Bibi Dong was probably still recovering from her injuries, Chen Yao couldn't be sure what kind of schemes Bibi Dong might have after seeing the state of the women lying in the courtyard.

To eliminate any potential risks, Chen Yao didn't hesitate. He grabbed Ning Rongrong and flashed to Bibi Dong's side.

"Come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Before Bibi Dong could react, Chen Yao pulled her away.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, it's been a while! How have you been?"

Chen Yao did not hide his movements. After he left Willow Moon Grass Academy with Ning Rongrong and the other person, Ning Fengzhi received the news and deduced that Chen Yao was probably coming to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. So he brought his sword and Bone Douluo to meet him early.

"Hehe, Brother Ning, you are still so polite. You always come to the mountain gate to greet me. It makes me feel a little embarrassed."

"No amount of solemnity is too much when it comes to treating you, Brother Chen!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled, responding with a compliment that was both flattering and dignified.

But he was secretly shocked.

Judging from the aura that Chen Yao was unintentionally emanating at this moment, he had definitely become a Title Douluo!

Although Chen Yao had made a grand entrance in Tiandou City, appearing completely unafraid of the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi had already guessed what was going on. He knew Chen Yao's personality and understood that Chen Yao would never be so arrogant if he wasn't confident.

Later, it was learned that after Chen Yao entered the city, he actually met Ning Rongrong and went to the Willow Moon Grass Academy together.

When he was famous at Willow Moon Grass Academy, he investigated it and unexpectedly discovered that the so-called Three Golden Flowers of the Academy were the three women who were with Chen Yao when he met him in Star Dou Forest.

Ning Fengzhi had some ideas at the time. Although Ning Rongrong was still young when they were in the Star Dou Forest and had no memory of the three women who had held her, and vice versa, it didn't stop Ning Fengzhi from sending Ning Rongrong to them and building good relationships with them.

Ning Fengzhi had originally planned to visit Chen Yao and Liu Erlong after some time to avoid disturbing their intimate moment. However, Chen Yao arrived ahead of schedule, which confirmed his suspicions about Chen Yao's strength.

But how long has it been? It shouldn't be more than two years, right? Chen Yao went from a Soul Saint who fled from the Spirit Hall to a Title Douluo. Isn't that speed a bit too magical?

However, the more terrifying Chen Yao's abilities were, the happier Ning Fengzhi was, and he wanted to invite Chen Yao into the sect to entertain him.

However, Chen Yao waved his hand in refusal and then bluntly stated the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi looked astonished, and his heart sank.

He clearly befriended Chen Yao to deal with the Spirit Hall, so why is Chen Yao suddenly teaming up with the Spirit Hall to bring him down?

"Brother Chen, if I remember correctly, you were persecuted quite severely by the Spirit Hall before, right? How come you suddenly..."

Ning Fengzhi said with an extremely ugly expression.

"Hehe, I did have some misunderstandings with the Spirit Hall before, but it's not what you think, Brother Ning."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi felt a wave of despair wash over him.

If the Spirit Hall still harbored some wishful thinking of putting up a last-ditch effort, then with Chen Yao added to the mix, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have absolutely no chance of survival!

Not only Ning Fengzhi, but even the sword behind him, Bone Douluo, were now glaring angrily at Chen Yao.

Ning Fengzhi went to great lengths to befriend Chen Yao, and even when the Spirit Hall came to investigate, Ning Fengzhi firmly refused and did not reveal any information about Chen Yao. He never expected that this person would be such an ungrateful wretch who actually colluded with the Spirit Hall to force his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to do so!

However, just as the atmosphere in the room was getting a little awkward, Chen Yao suddenly reached out and put his hand on Ning Rongrong's shoulder, who was still looking bewildered, and then chuckled.

"Don't worry, Brother Ning. I will never forget your help to me before, and I also like Rongrong very much. How could I possibly harm your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Ning Fengzhi, who was filled with resentment, was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and then asked hesitantly.

"So, Brother Chen, what do you mean?"

"Now the will of the Spirit Hall can also be considered my will. I intend to unify the entire continent. In the world today, of the three upper sects, the Clear Sky Sect is crippled, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has also submitted to me. Brother Ning, it would be somewhat inappropriate for your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to remain uninvolved."

Chen Yao spoke casually, but Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo behind him were all horrified, shocked by Chen Yao's ambition. Even those level 99 Limit Douluo had never accomplished such a thing!

Furthermore, what does it mean that his will is the will of the Spirit Hall? What exactly happened between Chen Yao and the Spirit Hall?

For a moment, Ning Fengzhi was in a state of confusion, then gave a bitter smile.

"Brother Chen, I believe in your strength. If you add the resources of the Spirit Hall, you do have the potential to sweep across the continent. But you don't know that the Spirit Hall is ambitious and treacherous. Even if you join forces with them, they still have ulterior motives. Don't be misled by them!"

"Brother Ning, are you questioning my relationship with the Spirit Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao smiled mysteriously and then pointed to Bibi Dong beside him.

"Remember her?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi finally noticed Bibi Dong standing next to Chen Yao.

There was no way around it; every time he saw Chen Yao, the women around him were just too dazzling. He had become immune to it and subconsciously started to ignore them.

When he began to examine Bibi Dong from the front, he was once again stunned by her unparalleled beauty.

Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi wasn't a womanizer, and he quickly calmed down his strange emotions. At the same time, because of the slight familiarity he sensed from Bibi Dong's face, he began to feel somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"Hiss, miss, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

"Hehe, have you forgotten that when we first met, I wasn't alone?"

Upon hearing Chen Yao's prompting, Ning Fengzhi fell into a reverie, and then his eyes lit up as he remembered.

"It's that young lady from back then! It's been so long! You've become even more charming than before!"

Ning Fengzhi praised him generously, but he was puzzled as to why Chen Yao brought this up at this time.

"At that time, she also had another identity, namely the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong."

Chen Yao said with a half-smile.

"So it's Her Highness the Holy Maiden! You are truly exceptionally beautiful and incredibly talented. I've long admired you."

Ning Fengzhi subconsciously continued to say nice things, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed something was wrong. After a moment's thought, he suddenly stiffened, a sense of horror welled up in his heart, and his expression froze.

"To be the saintess of that time, wouldn't that be..."

Ning Fengzhi's gaze swept back and forth between Chen Yao and Bibi Dong, a smile more like a grimace on his face, as he tentatively spoke.

"Is that what you think? Do you still think the Spirit Hall harbors ill intentions towards me and is outwardly friendly but inwardly hostile?"

Chen Yao looked amused.

"But what about the previous warrant issued by the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi was still somewhat skeptical.

"It was just an argument. Didn't you think the Spirit Hall's wanted notice back then was a bit strange? If they really wanted my life, they wouldn't have done it this way."

Chen Yao's casual remark, "It was just an argument," completely shattered Ning Fengzhi's hopes.

Back then, the Spirit Hall's wanted notice caused a huge uproar across the continent. He thought he could use this opportunity to win over Chen Yao without giving it much thought. He never expected that it was just the two of them arguing and playing around!

In the end, Ning Fengzhi was just a link in the chain of their flirting? A self-deluded clown?

Chen Yao noticed that Ning Fengzhi's emotions were off, so he spoke up.

"Brother Ning, don't be discouraged. As I said, I won't harm you. I won't make your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School submit like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. All I need to do is establish a cooperative relationship and help me as much as I can."

Chen Yao's words were not entirely just a delaying tactic. He had no interest in conquering or governing the world. As long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could play its role, after the conquest of the God Realm, whether Ning Fengzhi saw the benefits and completely submitted or refused to be subordinate and became independent, it was none of his business.

"Oh?"

Hearing Chen Yao's words, Ning Fengzhi perked up again. If that was all, it didn't seem impossible. After thinking about it, Ning Fengzhi felt there was nothing to hesitate about. Chen Yao and Bibi Dong, this husband-and-wife team, were truly unstoppable on the continent. If he didn't know his place, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might really disappear from the world.

"Very well, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School accepts. We will definitely help Brother Chen unify the continent!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement, but made no mention of the Spirit Hall, clearly indicating that he genuinely did not want any connection with it.

Surprisingly, Chen Yao shook his head.

"No need. With me and the Spirit Hall, sweeping across and unifying the country is not a difficult task. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only needs to help appease the people and promote the benefits of the Spirit Hall's rule."

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback.

"that's it?"

"Of course not. I'm not going to play around with unifying the continent. It's only after that that your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have a chance to contribute. At that time, I might need Brother Ning's full assistance. Manpower, material resources, and financial resources are all indispensable!"

As Ning Fengzhi listened, his heart grew cold. To offer all his help? To what extent? What if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School collapsed before he could even finish helping?

But before Ning Fengzhi could raise any questions, Chen Yao spoke up again.

"However, don't be too pessimistic. I will ask your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to provide resources to help me build an offensive soul tool. If your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can master this technology in the process, then even your sect disciples will be able to have a certain degree of offensive means that can threaten soul masters of the same level. Sect Master Ning should understand what this means all too well!"

"What! An offensive soul tool? Brother Chen, are you serious?"

Ning Fengzhi looked incredulous, his eyes gleaming, and he shouted excitedly.

To give a support Soul Master self-defense capabilities comparable to other types of Soul Masters of the same level is something that every generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader has dreamed of and wanted to accomplish!

If what Chen Yao said is true, then wouldn't Ning Fengzhi have his own page in the family tree? The history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be redefined from him onwards?

This temptation was simply irresistible to him, who valued the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School above all else!

In an instant, a frantic roar began to erupt in his heart, determined to obtain the technology of that soul tool, even if it meant going bankrupt!

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's excited expression, Chen Yao smiled mysteriously and asked a question that left everyone puzzled.

"Brother Ning, do you know about my spirit rings? What is the reason for that?"

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback upon hearing this. He composed himself, thought for a moment, and then spoke hesitantly.

“Our sect does have some relevant records. This situation should be related to a god-level powerhouse above the Title Douluo level. I think Brother Chen must have received the inheritance of some god, right?”

Gods are not without trace in Douluo Continent. Top sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School naturally keep some records. When he saw Chen Yao's soul rings before, he had some related guesses. However, considering Chen Yao's taboo, Ning Fengzhi never revealed it.

However, now that Chen Yao has brought it up, he is naturally able to give a clear answer.

Chen Yao nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I do possess the legacy of a deity."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi had an expression of "I knew it," but Chen Yao looked puzzled. He pulled Ning Rongrong in front of him, put his hands on her shoulders, and asked her with a half-smile.

"Sect Leader Ning, do you think I know of any other deities' lineages? And since Rongrong is my adopted daughter, do you think I could find a suitable lineage for her?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo behind him were stunned into silence, their minds going blank. An eerie stillness descended upon the scene. Then, a heavy breathing sound was heard. Ning Fengzhi's eyes reddened as he stared intently at Chen Yao, his lips trembling as he spoke.

"Brother Chen, are you telling the truth? You really can do this for Rongrong?"

"As long as Brother Ning lends his full support later, it will happen."

Chen Yao nodded and smiled.

Even if he hadn't offered up this divine inheritance, Ning Fengzhi would have agreed. However, Ning Rongrong was his adopted daughter and would be at his beck and call. Finding a divine inheritance for her would not only strengthen his own camp but also make Ning Fengzhi grateful. Why not?
