In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 195 Let Us Be of One Heart and One Mind

Wang Zhao thought to himself.

When Bibi Dong led a large army to oppress the Haotian Sect, you, Ning Fengzhi, were indeed restless and jumped around a few times at first, but in the end you chose to protect yourself. So why are you now making such a solemn vow to win over my Dragon King Palace?

Right, Ning Fengzhi's words sound a bit familiar...

Immediately afterwards, Ning Fengzhi said, "I hope that the Hall Master will not develop a dislike for the Clear Sky Sect because of its tragic state. After all, the Clear Sky Sect is also a victim. We should unite to deal with the Spirit Hall, this tyrant of the continent."

The victim, Haotian Sect?

Wang Zhao's expression remained unchanged, but he was even more speechless at Ning Fengzhi. He couldn't help but glance at Chen Xin standing behind Ning Fengzhi, wondering how such a pure swordsman could be won over by Ning Fengzhi.

However, he quickly recalled the scene in the original novel's ending, where the sword was broken and the bones shattered, yet only Ning Fengzhi went forward alone to collect the corpses, while a certain princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was shouting for her beloved third sister, so he stopped thinking about it.

There's no point in making a judgment based on differing perspectives.

"You guys are actually quite harmonious in private."

Wang Zhao glanced at Ning Fengzhi and said something inexplicable.

Ning Fengzhi quickly realized that when Wang Zhao said "you," he was actually referring to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and other major sects, as well as the two great empires.

Although they often had disputes and entanglements, they never engaged in any major conflict, simply because a transcendent power still existed on the continent—

Spirit Hall!

The Spirit Hall is enough to overwhelm all the ambitious forces on the continent who want to vie for supremacy. Even the Clear Sky Sect, which was only at its peak a hundred years ago, has never surpassed the Spirit Hall. Not to mention that the Clear Sky Sect has declined considerably since then. Under such circumstances, defeating the Spirit Hall has become the unanimous idea of ​​all the major forces.

Even an obsession.

Therefore, even with the emergence of a prodigy like Wang Zhao and unfathomable forces like the Dragon King Palace or the Ancient Dragon Clan, the major powers were still willing to unite rather than target each other. After all, they had long been openly and secretly opposing the Spirit Hall and had long suffered from the psychological shadow inflicted by the Spirit Hall. In the eyes of the major powers, defeating the Spirit Hall was a must, no matter the outcome.

As for which of the three upper sects, which of the two great empires, or this newly emerging Dragon King Palace will become the next "Spirit Hall," does it matter? It doesn't matter at all.

Since the first generation of the Spirit Hall could be defeated, it means that the second generation can also be defeated. What the major powers hope for is not to let the "one superpower and many strong powers" situation on the mainland continue forever, but to "take turns sitting on the throne, and this year it's my turn."

Therefore, in the original story, they succeeded, and Shrek Academy became the next "Spirit Hall".

Twenty thousand years later, Shrek Academy was also destroyed.

but……

Who can blame them when the original story's future timeline features a Tang God King who has already ascended to immortality and still treats the Douluo World, this lower plane, as his own backyard, allowing Shrek Academy to remain standing under his "wise and mighty" guidance?

The angel god goes without saying, but even the sea god, who became a god many years before the Tang God King, couldn't do what the Tang God King did, no matter how shameless he was. Of course, there might be a reason why the sea god wanted to do this but was stopped by the angel god and other gods. After all, they are not god kings, nor do they have the luxurious team of the Tang God King's "Shrek Seven Devils" or even the entire Tang family.

Wang Zhao looked at Ning Fengzhi with a smile, and suddenly wondered what they, as ambitious people, would feel if they foresaw that in the original timeline, their victory over the Spirit Hall would be met with the rise of another force that was almost impossible to defeat and, in many ways, even inferior to the Spirit Hall.

Ning Fengzhi did not notice the slight change in Wang Zhao's expression at this moment. He simply avoided the main point and did not mention the two great empires or other forces. He replied with a normal expression: "Our three upper sects are of one mind and advocate peace. Naturally, we hope that the continent will be as harmonious as possible."

"...That is truly admirable; I, the Palace Master, am ashamed of my own inferiority."

"Look at what the Palace Master is saying."

Ning Fengzhi suddenly stared intently at Wang Zhao, his true intentions revealed:

"You can actually join us too."

Ning Fengzhi: Let us be of one heart and one mind!

"No rush. Let's wait and see what the Spirit Hall is up to before making any decisions."

Wang Zhao only said.

Ning Fengzhi was not disappointed. On the contrary, he felt that he had been a bit too hasty. So he quickly pulled Chen Xin up, said goodbye, and left.

Wang Zhao watched their retreating figures, his gaze lingering.

Soon after, Wang Zhao prepared to return to his dormitory to cultivate. As for official business, he had already handed it over to more than ten Dragon Martial Soul Saints under his command, while Elder Brother Qianjun was responsible for supervision and decision-making.

This is also why Qianjun Shangfeng often complained to Wang Zhao in the days since he returned from Wuhun City. However, Qianjun Shangfeng was understanding that Wang Zhao, as a young man, should prioritize cultivation, so after thinking about it, he finally called the Gaishi Longshe couple to work for him... no, I mean, to work in the office.

Just then, Wang Zhao saw Die walking towards him, followed by a disguised member of the Spirit Hall, who was probably from the Spirit Hall in Tian Dou City.

Butterfly led the man to Wang Zhao and then stood behind him. The man bowed slightly and introduced himself:

"Your Highness, I am a close confidant of Bishop Salas."

"Salas?"

Wang Zhao raised an eyebrow slightly, turned around, and walked back into the main hall.

"Let's go inside and talk."

"Yes."

Salas's confidants followed Wang Zhao inside, and Die Weiwei raised her hand, releasing her powerful soul energy to close the door from a distance.

Inside the main hall, Wang Zhao looked at this confidant of Salas, having no doubt about his identity. After all, Die Ling must have verified his identity before bringing him here. He then asked, "Salas should know how sensitive my identity and his are in the Heavenly Dou Empire right now. Since he sent you here, there must be some important matter. Do you have any letters?"

Salas's confidant didn't say much, just nodded and quickly took out a letter from his pocket, which was then handed to him by Die and placed on the table.

Wang Zhao opened the letter, glanced at it, and quickly said to Salas's confidant, "Go back and report to Salas that we don't need to pay attention to the actions of the Power Clan; just let them do as they please, and then..."

Wang Zhao's gaze deepened for a moment.

"The Sacred Ritual of the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple is of paramount importance. Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye's group will definitely not be able to travel all the way to Martial Soul City. Therefore, the Sacred Ritual here will be a gathering of heroes, and it can be said that it is even more complicated than the situation in Martial Soul City. As the host, he should be careful recently, and remember to restrain his fetishes in that area."

"Finally, I told him to cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Title Douluo realm."
