Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Mentioning this former top support sect, Tang Xiao, Tang Ling, and the others fell into deep thought.

Tang Yuehua smiled slightly and continued, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has had a very difficult time in the Heaven Dou Empire these past few years. Xue Qinghe relies entirely on the Nine Star Palace and keeps his distance from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Although he has not deliberately targeted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, its status in the Heaven Dou Empire has indeed been declining year by year."

Secondly, Xue Qinghe's reforms in the Tiandou Empire not only infringed upon the interests of the royal family and nobility, but also caused quite a stir on the commercial foundation upon which the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School relied for its survival.

The spies I planted within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School all conveyed the same message: Ning Fengzhi is extremely dissatisfied with Xue Qinghe. Some even learned from Ning Fengzhi's personal concubine that Ning Fengzhi, once drunk, berated Xue Qinghe, claiming he had taken in an ungrateful disciple.

Upon hearing this, Tang San raised his head and said, "Uncle, Aunt, Rongrong is the next successor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I suggest that she set off first to meet Sect Leader Ning. If Sect Leader Ning agrees to cooperate with us, we can proceed with the next step of the plan."

Tang Xiao, Tang Yuehua, and the others were immediately delighted when Tang San reminded them of this.

That's right, they almost forgot that among Tang San's companions is the successor to the next sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

With his own daughter speaking up to persuade him, Ning Fengzhi is likely to agree even more readily.

Several days later, in Tiandou City, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School established its new outpost.

After listening to his beloved daughter Ning Rongrong's account, Ning Fengzhi made his choice in less than three minutes.

"Help, Rongrong, immediately send someone back to tell Tang San and the others that I'll take care of getting them into the palace."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin frowned upon hearing this: "Feng Zhi, aren't you being too hasty in this matter? Murdering the emperor is a serious crime. Perhaps you should reconsider."

Ning Rongrong curled her lip upon hearing this and said, "Grandpa Sword, what's there to consider? That hypocrite Xue Qinghe, when he wanted to gain the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was so affectionate, calling my father 'teacher' all the time. Now that he has the Nine Star Palace as a powerful backer, he's completely shunned our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. How can such a guy be fit to be the ruler of a country?"

"Rongrong is right."

Bone Douluo still harbored resentment over the time when the Nine Star Palace humiliated them after annexing the Elemental Academy. He immediately spoke up, saying, "Old Swordsman, you've seen for yourself what the Heaven Dou Empire's attitude has been towards our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School all these years. If we don't find a way out, I'm afraid that in a few decades we'll really have no standing at all in the Heaven Dou Empire."

Sword Douluo was helpless. Although Xue Qinghe did not rely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he did not deliberately suppress it either. For one thing, the large area of ​​superior training grounds at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's current location was specially approved by Xue Qinghe.

"Although Xue Qinghe has his faults, he has a high reputation among the people and can be considered a good emperor. What are Xue Beng and Xue Xing? They have committed numerous crimes of bullying men and women. How can such people be worthy of being the ruler of a country?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Jian, Xue Xing and Xue Beng are just two puppets. Our only true partner is the Clear Sky Sect. Tang San has already received the Sea God's inheritance, and Rongrong has also broken through to the Soul Saint realm at a young age. In my opinion, the future of the Soul Master world is destined to belong to these children."

Sword Douluo remained deeply worried, saying, "But rumors have already spread far and wide. That kid Tang San increases his cultivation by devouring the life force of others; he's undoubtedly a fallen soul master. I'm afraid to cooperate with someone like that."

"Grandpa Sword!"

Upon hearing Sword Douluo slander her respected third brother's innocence, Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back any longer. She interrupted him rudely, puffing out her cheeks and saying angrily, "These are all slanders leveled against Third Brother by those despicable fellows! How could you believe such nonsense!"

Ning Fengzhi also spoke up, "Uncle Jian, Tang San is now the successor of the Sea God. How could the successor of a god be a fallen soul master? This is nothing but a lie fabricated by the Spirit Empire and the Nine Star Hall to attack the Clear Sky Sect!"

In fact, with Ning Fengzhi's insight, and because he wouldn't be blinded by family ties like Tang Yuehua, he knew very well that the Spirit Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire were not close allies, but irreconcilable enemies. They had jointly issued the same announcement, and it was almost certain that Tang San was a fallen soul master. But so what? History is ultimately written by the victors, and the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was paramount.

With a level 100 expert behind Tang San, and his daughter Ning Rongrong benefiting greatly from Tang San's training, Ning Fengzhi made his choice without hesitation, considering the Heaven Dou Empire's attitude towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in recent years.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's resolute attitude, and knowing that his old partner Bone Douluo was also determined to avenge the humiliation he had suffered, as well as his beloved granddaughter Ning Rongrong, whose eyes lit up whenever Tang San was mentioned, there was no need to expect her to have any objections.

Sword Douluo sighed helplessly, "Very well, Feng Zhi, since you insist, then this old man will obey!"

After receiving Ning Fengzhi's affirmative reply, Tang San and the others began their operation. To ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the Clear Sky Sect mobilized almost all its strongest members. The sect leader, Tang Xiao, a super Douluo with a soul power level of 97, personally led the team, accompanied by two titled Douluos, the Third Elder Tang Ran and the Sixth Elder Tang Yun. Only the Second Elder Tang Ling, a titled Douluo, remained at the Clear Sky Sect to guard the premises.

Their allies, Seagod Island and Star Luo Empire, also provided strong support. Seagod Island sent three Title Douluo: Sea Dragon Douluo with a cultivation level of 95, Seahorse Douluo with a cultivation level of 93, and Sea Ghost Douluo.

The Star Luo Empire sent four Soul Douluos, two couples with Martial Soul Fusion Skills. When they unleashed the Netherworld White Tiger, their combat power was comparable to that of a Title Douluo for a short period of time.

Tang San and his group set off from the capital of the Star Luo Empire, crossed the Spirit Empire in the middle, and arrived at Heaven Dou City. Under Ning Fengzhi's arrangement, they infiltrated the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's status in the Heaven Dou Empire has declined in recent years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Ning Fengzhi is still the sect leader of the three upper sects and still has the title of his teacher Xue Qinghe. He still has the face to arrange a few palace guards.

Tang San and his companions successfully entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, excitedly planning their assassination of Xue Qinghe and his son, unaware that everything was under someone else's control.
