Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

With the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan being wiped out one after another, the various forces on the continent were in turmoil, especially the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, like the Clear Sky School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, is one of the three major schools on the continent. The other two schools were wiped out, so how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School not be terrified?

Inside the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, Sect Protectors Chen Xin and Gu Rong, and fifteen sect elders at the eighth-ring level gathered together.

"Gentlemen, with the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan both destroyed, how should our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School respond?"

Ning Fengzhi asked the people in the hall with a distressed expression.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel resentment towards his former "good disciple," Qian Renxue.

If your Spirit Hall is so powerful, why didn't you say so earlier? Are you saying our master-disciple relationship of all these years was just for nothing?

It should be noted that because many of his children lacked both talent and skill, and were ultimately incompetent, Ning Fengzhi has poured just as much effort into Xue Qinghe over the years, if not more, than into his own sons.

Ning Fengzhi felt that if Qian Renxue had confronted him before the palace coup, and after learning the true strength of the Spirit Hall, he would most likely have supported his disciple and stabbed his ally, Tian Dou, in the back after weighing the pros and cons.

Alliance? What's the value of an alliance? It's nowhere near as valuable as the long-standing master-disciple relationship between myself and Qian Renxue!

Well, that's a bit of a lie. As the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi has to consider the well-being of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has consistently held a place among the top three sects for many years, reaching a higher level is not the most important thing; the most important thing is to ensure that the sect can continue to be passed down stably.

Joining forces with the powerful Spirit Hall would ensure this.

After all, with the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School all joining forces, and with Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, the emperor of Heaven Dou, and the personal disciple of the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as the link, wouldn't they be able to sweep across the entire continent?

Is everything alright now?

Although he and Xue Beng had a master-disciple relationship, they had no prior connection. In fact, they were political rivals due to the struggle for the crown prince position. This nominal master-disciple relationship was therefore questionable.

Moreover, Xue Beng is a heartless scoundrel who abandons his people after losing them. After using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to consolidate his imperial power, he gradually began to distance himself from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is very likely because he wanted to weaken the influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School within the Heaven Dou Empire.

If Ning Fengzhi had known this would happen, he would have thought he shouldn't have intervened to help Tian Dou in the first place. Instead, he should have lent a hand to his good disciple Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

In this way, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire led by Qian Renxue remain close allies. Furthermore, because his good disciple Qian Renxue is the young master of the Spirit Hall, he no longer needs to worry about the Spirit Hall harming his sect.

"Sigh~, am I, as a teacher, really so untrustworthy to you?"

Ning Fengzhi, feeling utterly defeated, sighed helplessly, feeling that he had failed as a teacher.

Qian Renxue: Damn it~, you keep saying "the three upper sects are of one mind" all the time, how am I supposed to confront you? What if you betray me after I confront you?

"Sect Master, perhaps our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can remain uninvolved."

Just as the hall fell silent, Chen Xin, who was sitting to Ning Fengzhi's left, suddenly spoke.

"Hmm? How so?"

Upon hearing Chen Xin's words, Gu Rong looked puzzled, and everyone in the hall also looked at Chen Xin.

"With the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan being destroyed one after another, we, as one of the three major sects on the continent, must be on high alert. If the Spirit Hall intends to attack us, from their perspective, this is extremely disadvantageous."

Putting everything else aside, if the Spirit Hall wanted to take us down when we were on guard, their casualties would definitely be greater than if they had launched a surprise attack.

Furthermore, the Clear Sky Sect's secluded base is not far from us; if the Spirit Hall really wanted to make a move, it should have done so long ago.

The reason for this might be related to your disciple, Sect Master.

As she spoke, Chen Xin looked at Ning Fengzhi.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi fell silent.

After a long pause, Ning Fengzhi said, "Regardless of whether the Spirit Hall will take action against us later, the sect must remain vigilant."

Furthermore, since the Heavenly Dou Palace Coup, an invisible rift has emerged between Heavenly Dou and the sects, and the former closeness is gone. Besides the Heavenly Dou Empire, the sects also need to find other allies.

Everyone nodded in agreement: "What the sect leader says is absolutely right."

Then, an elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School spoke up: "Sect Master, the ambitions of the Spirit Hall are known to all, and the Elemental Saint Academy is quite powerful, with four Douluo in charge. We need to strengthen our relationship with them, and it would be best if we could form an alliance with them."

"It's a bit difficult. Long ago, our sect tried to form an alliance with the Blazing Fire Academy and the Heavenly Water Academy, which have not yet merged, but unfortunately, neither academy had any such idea."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a hint of regret.

However, Ning Fengzhi could understand. After all, the academy was different from other forces. It was just a platform for training soul masters. Most of the students would not work at the academy after graduation, but would join various forces on the continent. Among them, many of the best would become middle and high-level members of various forces.

It can be said that any legitimate advanced soul master academy, regardless of its strength, has an incredibly large network of connections behind it, though it is usually not apparent.

After all, it's your alma mater. Graduates who have achieved success always have to show some respect. And unless you choose to give up, the friendships you have with your classmates in college will be a very important interpersonal relationship.

Furthermore, the academy's influence wouldn't be too focused on worldly interests, and few people would be so foolish as to deliberately cause trouble for the academy's influence.

The Elemental Academy is capable of observing the changing times, so why would it intervene in the conflicts between various forces on the continent when turmoil is about to break out?

While weaker academies might be drawn into conflict by other forces, the Elemental Holy Academy, with four Douluo leaders in charge, clearly possesses the strength to remain uninvolved.

Besides, aside from hatred, all conflicts stem from interests. When the effort is far less than the reward, unless someone is completely out of their mind, no one will bother the Elemental Holy Academy.

As soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, another elder said, "Times have changed. The situation is different now, and perhaps the Elemental Holy Academy's stance will change. Sect Master, have you heard of that rumor about the Elemental Holy Academy?"

Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow: "You mean, the incident where Tang Hao was killed by Mu Yang of the Elemental Holy Academy using a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" (End of Chapter)
