Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 117 Taking Advantage of a Crisis: Ning Fengzhi

Inside the Star Crown Sect, Xu Mingxi looked at the intelligence report in his hand about the renewed conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, and was very satisfied. His planning had not been in vain.

"Tang San, Tang San, with the hatred of Yu Xiaogang's clan being wiped out, your hatred of killing your mother, and now Tang Hao's hatred of his sect, you have no reason not to target the Spirit Hall."

The more chaotic the mainland is, the more it benefits Xu Mingxi and the Star Crown Sect. He needs someone to unite the forces of the major sects and the two great empires on the mainland to fight against the Spirit Hall.

But that's not enough. Even if the Star Crown Sect didn't go all out, all the other forces combined might not be a match for the Spirit Hall. Qian Daoliu's strength is too great.

Xu Mingxi could not wait for him to sacrifice himself for Qian Renxue, much less wait for Tang San to grow up.

The power gap between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall is too great, so it is necessary to introduce a new force to help the Clear Sky Sect.

He turned his gaze to the Douluo Continent map on the table, or rather, to the unmarked sea area outside Hanhai City.

If he remembered correctly, Poseidon Island should be located in this area, and on Poseidon Island, there is a powerful being who is loyal to Tang Chen. If she knew that the Haotian Sect was about to be destroyed, would she choose to take action? Xu Mingxi was very much looking forward to it.

However, it is too early to say anything now. According to the news sent back by the Blood Blade Pavilion, the Spirit Hall already knows that the news that Yuexuan was backed by the Clear Sky Sect was spread by the Star Crown Sect.

To avoid alerting the enemy, the Star Crown Sect should refrain from taking any further action in the near future. Focusing on cultivation and improving the sect's strength is the best course of action.

The effects of whale glue have been studied due to the Star Crown Sect's large-scale purchases. Fortunately, the Star Crown Sect is not large, and they had already purchased enough for two generations beforehand.

Furthermore, the Star Crown Sect members do not have high resource requirements. With Xu Mingxi guiding the essence of starlight and moonlight, an excellent simulated training ground has been created, and the strength of the sect disciples is steadily improving.

The guests who came from the Shui family earlier have already returned home. Shui Yue'er and Xu Mingwei's son reached a verbal engagement, and it's uncertain whether it will actually happen, but it has established a certain connection between the two families.

The suppression of the troublemaker brought a semblance of calm to the mainland, but undercurrents continued to surge beneath the surface. The Spirit Hall tightened its blockade on the Clear Sky Sect's resources, making it impossible for even Ning Fengzhi to send resources in if he wanted to help.

Tang Xiao sat on the throne of the Haotian Sect, watching the resources in the treasury dwindle, feeling utterly helpless. Overnight, his hair turned white, he lost his spirit, and his soul power improved at an increasingly slow pace.

"Tang Xiao, as the sect leader, you must cheer us up. Sixth and Seventh Brother have already broken through to level ninety. We must go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings for them."

"The breakthrough of the two elders into the title is a top priority for our Haotian Sect and should be taken seriously. However, the Spirit Hall is watching us closely outside. The moment you and I step out of the mountain gate, the news may have already reached Qian Daoliu."

"If we don't go, how can the sixth and seventh brothers obtain good soul rings on their own? Didn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School send a letter before? Can we ask them for help?"

"We have no choice but to give it a try."

The Haotian Sect had reached a dead end. The only solution Tang Hao could think of was to seek help from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had sent a letter earlier, hoping that they could lend them a hand out of consideration for the past friendship between the three upper sects.

After receiving their message, Ning Fengzhi sat in silence for a long time before summoning Bone Douluo. He had something to confirm with him.

"Uncle Bone, can your spatial teleportation take people with you?"

"Okay, but Feng Zhi, you should think it over carefully. If my ability is exposed, although the Spirit Hall will be somewhat wary, it will also make them pay more attention to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"I've thought it through. The Haotian Sect absolutely cannot be destroyed. Helping them is also helping ourselves. However, we cannot help them for no reason."

"Uncle Bone, I'd like to trouble you to make a trip to the Clear Sky Sect and tell them that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will take on this task, but the price is one ten-thousand-year soul bone per person."

As a savvy businessman, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't be foolish enough to offer help for free.

Even if they are forced by circumstances to help the Haotian Sect, they must pay a price; free help will only make them more demanding.

Tang Xiao looked at the Bone Douluo who suddenly appeared in front of him and made exorbitant demands. His face was gloomy, but he still chose to give in and took out the only two ten-thousand-year soul bones left in the Clear Sky Sect.

As long as the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder can break through to the title level, it will all be worth it. However, the Haotian Sect will remember this debt.

Gu Rong squinted and smiled as she accepted the soul bone Tang Xiao handed over, completely ignoring his somewhat unpleasant expression.

The Clear Sky Sect is no longer a threat. Not to mention that they are a key target of the Spirit Hall, these four youngsters who have just broken through to the title level are not even worth a single swordsman's cut.

Not long ago, Sword Douluo successfully broke through to level 96, becoming the true pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. With Ning Fengzhi's assistance, he is not invincible against level 98 Title Douluos.

Moreover, when he left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he seemed to hear Feng Zhi say that he would inform the Spirit Hall of the news that the two elders of the Clear Sky School had broken through to the Title Douluo level after a while.

The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast that it's quite normal for someone to accidentally witness their Soul Hunting and recognize the two elders of the Clear Sky Sect. As for why he didn't recognize the Ancient Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who knows?

Meanwhile, the Eighth Elder, who was in charge of procuring soul-guided metals and recruiting renowned craftsmen in Gengxin City, encountered some trouble.

Looking at the master craftsman Lou Gao who had suddenly come to his door, he wished he could just kick him out. What did he mean by saying that he had bought too much good metal and it was a complete waste?

Isn't it because he bought all these soul-guided metals and sent them all back to the sect instead of having a blacksmith in Gengxin City forge weapons?

"Lou Gao, how I handle these metals is my business, there's no need for me to tell you."

"That's not right. Metal is used to forge weapons. On this Douluo Continent, the Haotian Sect is in seclusion, and the Power Clan is down to just Titan. Now, besides my Gengxin City, who else can forge stronger weapons?"

"I can't be bothered to talk to you. Move aside, I still need to return these metals to the sect."

"No, unless you give me an explanation, you can forget about taking these valuable metals with you."

"You're forcing me to take action, aren't you?"

"Do you dare?"

"Hmph, you just wait."

The Eighth Elder calmed down and sat back down. He really didn't dare to do it. Lou Gao was the leader of the blacksmiths in Gengxin City. These blacksmiths were stubborn and wouldn't stand a chance if they messed with Lou Gao.

Or rather, he didn't have the right to make this decision; he could only send a message back to the sect to see if the sect leader and Mingxi had any solutions.
