Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 74 Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Xiangxue and Ning Tian

Let's turn our attention back to Shu Yan.

After resolving everything, Xue Di turned her gaze back to Shu Yan.

"What do we do now? Should I take you away directly?"

Shu Yan thought for a moment, then chuckled and said:

"Well, since we've met twice, it must be fate. Since fate has brought us together, why not go and meet them?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Di said with some surprise:

"This isn't like you at all."

Shu Yan chuckled and then said:

"My style is quite versatile; my style and attitude will change depending on the different forces and different people."

Hyotei rolled his eyes at Shu Yan, then sneered:

"What bullshit about fate? What you consider fate is more like a shock to others. You're always trying to make yourself look good."

Xu Jiujiu watched helplessly as Shu Yan and Bing Di bickered, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips. It has to be said that Shu Yan and Bing Di are increasingly showing the potential to become a pair of rivals. When the two of them get together, there's bound to be some excitement...

……

Yellow sand filled the sky.

Without the shelter of the trees, the wind whipped up sand and dust that soared into the sky. The desolate and lonely atmosphere remained unchanged on this land. The harsh environment made Ning Xiangxue, who was already being protected by everyone, sigh. She took Ning Tian's hand and then whispered:

"The environment here is getting worse and worse. If this continues, it won't be long before the ancient battlefields are buried by sandstorms. When that happens, it will be even worse for us to worship our ancestors."

Ning Xiangxue gazed into the distance, seeing only yellow sand as far as the eye could see. Her feelings were indescribably complicated, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Ning Tian's hand.

"Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. After Ancestor Ning Rongrong became a god and left, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School finally regained its prosperity, but it has never produced a genius with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. It is called Nine Treasures, but in reality it is just a name."

"With the Heavenly Dou fracturing, the continent in chaos, and the political landscape shifting, the status of sects continues to elevate them to an awkward position. What will become of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Ning Xiangxue's self-talk was quickly drowned out by the sandstorm and received no response, just like the situation faced by most forces in this era, where no one could know the outcome in advance.

The group walked past the collapsed city wall and did not go any further.

During the great war ten thousand years ago, the sect's only two guardian Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, perished here. Their contributions to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School were immense. Without them, it's questionable whether the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would still exist today.

After Ning Rongrong, the first sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, became a god, she issued a divine decree that from her time onward, the current sect leader and the successor of the sect must go to Jialing Pass every five years to pay homage to the two ancestors. This is an ironclad rule of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even after the great changes on the continent, this ironclad rule has been observed by successive sect leaders of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and has never been abandoned to this day.

A crisp sound came from ahead, and almost instantly, the eyes of the many powerful figures accompanying them all turned towards the sandstorm ahead.

When the sect leader and young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School travel together, almost all the powerful individuals sent by the sect to accompany and protect them are elites.

Aside from Red Dragon Douluo Wu Lao and Divine Guardian Douluo Zhao Lao, the accompanying powerful figures included five Soul Douluos and several Soul Saints. In Jialing Pass, only a few dozen kilometers away, Shadow Douluo Yan Lao led another team of powerful figures, ready to provide support at any time. Such a lineup was quite in line with the foundation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which had been passed down for ten thousand years.

A strange yet familiar aura wafted over, and Elder Wu was first taken aback, then his expression suddenly changed drastically. He said in a low, hurried voice:

"Sect Master, this aura is almost identical to the aura of a powerful figure I sensed when I led the young master and those little ones on a soul hunt last time..."

Ning Xiangxue frowned slightly, pulled Ning Tian behind her, and whispered amidst the increasingly violent storm:

"Let's act according to the situation. As you said last time, those two are definitely not ordinary strongmen. But just like last time, the other party took the initiative to avoid us and did not choose to make direct contact with you. This shows that the other party should not have any grudges or conflicts with us. Unless absolutely necessary, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must not provoke any other enemies. The sect cannot bear such a burden."

"yes…"

Everyone agreed in unison, their eyes warily fixed on the sandstorm.

In the tense and anxious atmosphere, Hyotei's voice, tinged with annoyance, rang out:

"Damn you, Shu Yan! You're not allowed to touch my head! If you ruin my dignity, you're as good as dead..."

The members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School: "?"

While Ning Xiangxue and the others were still somewhat stunned, the figures of Shu Yan and his group of four slowly appeared. Bingdi rubbed her head while glaring fiercely at Shu Yan, looking like a wronged child.

Xu Jiujiu and Xue Di maintained an elegant posture, but both had smiles on their lips, showing no sign of tension.

In contrast, the people from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School were indeed tense and even somewhat disheveled.

Shu Yan stopped teasing Hyotei, turned his gaze forward, and then spoke:

"Gentlemen, it's fate that we meet again..."

After pinching Shu Yan's thigh in a huff, Hyotei turned her gaze to the other group.

Ning Xiangxue and Ning Tian behind her exchanged a glance, and then her gentle and melodious voice rang out:

"Friends, I am Ning Xiangxue, the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. The two powerful figures beside me are the sect's enshrined Red Dragon Douluo and Divine Guardian Douluo. I have already learned from Xiao Tian and Elder Wu about what happened last time. It was purely an accident. If you are so kind, you are welcome to visit my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future. My Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely not disappoint you."

Shu Yan smiled gently, then said:

"It is fate that we meet. Sect Leader Ning, there is no need for such formalities. Last time, it was my sister's bad mood that frightened some of your sect's friends. In fact, that was our fault."

Ning Xiangxue gently shook her head, gave a bitter smile, and continued:

"I'm just not as skilled as others; my friends are too kind."

Shu Yan smiled, his gaze sweeping over the group, lingering for a moment on Ning Tian behind Ning Xiangxue, before he continued with a smile:

"Is this Sect Leader Ning's daughter?"

Ning Xiangxue was slightly taken aback, then pulled Ning Tian forward a little, nodded, and said:

"That's right, Xiao Tian was also in that Soul Hunting team last time, which is why Elder Wu accompanied him..."

"Hehe... Young Master Ning is so young yet already possesses such a mature demeanor, and her cultivation talent is exceptional. Sect Master Ning, it's truly enviable to have such an outstanding daughter..."

Shu Yan casually offered a compliment, his faint smile making him appear even more dashing and handsome. Ning Tian was still young, and perhaps Shu Yan's appearance was too deceptive; even though Ning Tian's temperament was much more mature than his peers, his little face still couldn't help but blush slightly...
