Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 51 Ning Fengzhi's Relief

"Give!"

Upon hearing Xue Ye's question, Qian Renxue immediately replied, "In my opinion, how can mere gold and silver compare to the contributions of those who have served the Empire for many years!"

Whether it's the three education committee members Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin, or the two Soul Douluos dispatched by Xue Ye from the royal family, they are all confidants whom Qian Renxue has already brought under her wing using Xue Qinghe's identity. She can't frequently use the Spirit Hall's power while she's infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire, so these people are her current right-hand men, and she must find a way to rescue them.

"good!"

Xue Ye, being an emperor, quickly realized that if he was unwilling to spend money to replace someone now, he could not expect others to risk their lives for him in the future.

Eager to gather information about the Nine Star Palace, Qian Renxue immediately volunteered to Xue Ye, saying, "Your subject is willing to personally go to Sunset Forest to negotiate with the Nine Star Palace and ransom the lords!"

"No!"

Xue Ye immediately rejected the idea, saying that Xue Qinghe was his carefully groomed successor and absolutely could not be allowed to suffer any mishaps: "Now that the Nine Star Palace has already turned against the Empire, how can you, the Crown Prince, take such a risk? If something were to happen to you, what would become of the Empire after I pass away?"

"It is precisely because the Nine Star Palace has become estranged from the Empire that I must personally go there to resolve the conflict!"

Qian Renxue said solemnly, "Father, the Nine Star Palace is mysterious and powerful. Just considering those two Title Douluos with 100,000-year soul rings, they can already rank among the top forces on the continent. If we cannot resolve the conflict with them in time, and they happen to side with Star Luo in the future, the empire will be in danger!"

"Father, rest assured!"

Qian Renxue continued, "Before setting off, I will go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Please ask Master Ning to accompany me to the Sunset Forest. With Master Ning there, I believe there will be no worries!"

"Very well, with Sect Leader Ning here, those people from the Nine Star Palace probably won't act too recklessly!"

Xueye was persuaded by Qian Renxue and nodded in agreement to her request.

After the meeting ended, Qian Renxue immediately left the palace and headed straight for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is located among the mountains, a fairly common location. Most sects choose to be in such places, as they are far from the hustle and bustle of the city and can gather resources from the nearby mountains. In addition, they can take advantage of the unique environment to hide the sect well, and those who don't know the way will have to search for a while.

Although Qian Renxue, or Xue Qinghe in the eyes of the public, is Ning Fengzhi's disciple, it is clear to everyone that this is nothing more than a political transaction. Therefore, Xue Qinghe does not actually have much authority in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and cannot even move freely. When she arrives at the outer perimeter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she informs Ning Fengzhi through the special communication method left to her by Ning Fengzhi. After Ning Fengzhi learns of this, he sends an elder of the sect to bring her into the sect.

. . . . . . . . . .

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Council Hall.

On the north side of the main hall, facing south, sits a large, carved rosewood chair with a huge piece of jade inlaid on the back. The jade is emerald green and exudes a faint, warm aura; it is indeed a piece of the finest warm jade.

A man sat upright on a large rosewood carved chair. He had a handsome face, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a refined and gentle appearance. He wore a clean white robe and had long, smooth black hair cascading down his back. He was about forty years old and was none other than Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi had always remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, but after hearing what Xue Qinghe said, his expression changed several times. He was shocked but also felt a little relieved.

Why say we're somewhat fortunate? This brings us to a question Xiao Yu had asked earlier.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School clearly knew from the Nine Heart Begonia family that the Nine Star Palace possessed soul tools with offensive or defensive capabilities that could change the status of support-type soul masters, yet they never came to discuss business with them.

This was because Ning Fengzhi believed that while soul tools were exquisite, they would inevitably wear down and become unusable with prolonged use. This would require the sect to invest heavily in constantly replenishing and replacing the soul tools for its disciples. Therefore, he reasoned that it would be better to solve the problem once and for all by directly seizing the manufacturing methods of soul tools from the Nine Star Hall. In the original story, he had considered obtaining the methods for making hidden weapons from Tang San, but he dared not use force due to his fear of Tang Hao, who was behind Tang San.

However, Ning Fengzhi was a cautious person and dared not act rashly before he had figured out the situation of the Nine Star Palace, which led to Yu Yuanzhen taking the fall for him.

Two unknown titled Douluo with ninth spirit rings at the level of 100,000 years: Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo who dominated the world and was invincible in group battles; and Yang Wudi, the former patriarch of the Po Clan, one of the four affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul Douluo but had the attack power comparable to a titled Douluo. With these four people, the Nine Star Palace already had a status on par with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After hearing Xue Qinghe's purpose, Ning Fengzhi immediately agreed: "Qinghe, don't worry. Let me know when you're ready to depart. Uncle Jian and I will accompany you. Also, if you have difficulty raising funds, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can provide full assistance!"

Even without Xue Qinghe's invitation, Ning Fengzhi planned to pay a visit after learning about the strength of the Nine Star Palace.

Although he had the idea of ​​seizing the soul tool manufacturing of the Nine Star Palace, he had not yet carried it out. Unlike the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, the two sides had not yet broken off relations.

In recent years, with the Clear Sky Sect going into seclusion, the Spirit Hall has appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, it has been continuously expanding its sphere of influence and its influence in the spirit master world. As the sect leader of the three upper sects, Ning Fengzhi can feel this pressure more and more.

At this time, a mysterious sect with advanced combat power that is in no way inferior to the three upper sects has appeared. Ning Fengzhi naturally wants to find a way to befriend it so that they can fight against the Spirit Hall together in the future.

The two, who were only nominally master and disciple, exchanged some more polite words. Ning Fengzhi verbally reminded Xue Qinghe not to slack off in his cultivation, and Xue Qinghe obsequiously agreed.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xue Qinghe took his leave.

After Xue Qinghe had gone some distance, an elderly man with white hair and beard, but a face as delicate as a baby's, emerged from the back hall. This man was none other than Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo, one of the two guardian Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, known as the strongest attacking Title Douluo, with a soul power level of ninety-six. Aside from the old monsters of the Spirit Hall, only he and Tang Xiao, the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, had broken through the ninety-five-level bottleneck.

"Uncle Jian, you are very knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of the Nine Star Palace?"

In terms of age, Chen Xin is a generation older than Ning Fengzhi, and just because Ning Fengzhi doesn't know something doesn't mean Chen Xin doesn't know it.

Chen Xin shook his head: "I've never heard of this sect either. However, if His Highness the Crown Prince wasn't exaggerating, I guess this Nine Star Palace is a reclusive sect with a rich history spanning thousands of years. It seems their current sect leader is unwilling to remain in seclusion and has decided to return to the world!"
