Chapter 159 Dragging the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into the Water, Forcing a Resignation

"I hope you can join us. Although I have the help of my teacher, my strength combined with that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is still not enough to contend with the entire Heaven Dou Empire."

"Hmm! To me, it sounds like Brother Xue is trying to force a change of leadership!"

"Lin Hai, you..." Xue Qinghe roared in anger.

"Hmph, see, you're getting impatient!" Lin Hai continued calmly, picking up his teacup again.

Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi remained extremely calm and grabbed Xue Qinghe's hand.

"Xiao Hai, I know you're smart, so don't tease your Brother Xue anymore." Ning Fengzhi also had a general idea of ​​what kind of person Lin Hai was.

Loyalty to the emperor and love for one's country?

Stop kidding! Hahaha.

If they were truly loyal to the emperor and loved their country, would they think of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School when they couldn't find any other powerful backers?

They're all the same kind of people, brought together for mutual benefit.

After Ning Fengzhi's intervention, Xue Qinghe calmed down.

"Brother Xue, please don't be angry. I'm a practical person. Since the current leader can't solve the problem, let's replace him with someone who can."

"I am still a member of the Heaven Dou Empire, and I am unwilling to see the Heaven Dou Empire suffer a crushing defeat."

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Ning Fengzhi realized that Lin Hai was genuinely trying to instigate Xue Qinghe to seize power, and that Xue Qinghe was actually seriously considering the matter. Ning Fengzhi became a little anxious.

Ning Fengzhi did want Xue Qinghe to ascend the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire, but he didn't want to force her to abdicate!

If Xue Qinghe really forces Emperor Xue Ye to abdicate, how will outsiders view the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Wouldn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School become accomplices? In that case, the good reputation that Ning Fengzhi has built for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School over the years will all disappear.

It was he who ruined it.

Ning Fengzhi is Xue Qinghe's teacher. To outsiders, if it weren't for Ning Fengzhi and the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind him, would Crown Prince Xue Qinghe really dare to openly force the emperor to abdicate?

If Ning Fengzhi had known that Lin Hai was thinking so much and playing such big games, he would never have brought Lin Hai here.

Lin Hai's purpose in doing so was simple: to drag the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into the mess.

Isn't Ning Fengzhi supposed to be noble? Doesn't your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School preach non-competition? I'm going to lock you and Xue Qinghe together, so that you'll share both glory and ruin.

Ning Fengzhi cannot be allowed to be a fence-sitter, acting in both directions.

Lin Hai was not afraid at all. He had leverage: a huge amount of leverage to persuade Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) and Ning Fengzhi.

Lin Hai knew that once Ning Fengzhi supported Xue Qinghe's coup and forced abdication, he would have no chance to escape, and no one, no force, would believe that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a neutral power. This would completely thwart Ning Fengzhi's hopes of extricating himself from the situation.

Now it all depends on whether Lin Hai's offer can persuade Ning Fengzhi to fully support Lin Hai's idea.

"Qinghe, calm down. This is not feasible. No one will support an emperor who forces his way to the throne," Ning Fengzhi advised Xue Qinghe.

Lin Hai calmly took a sip of tea.

"Heh, I wonder if Brother Xue and Uncle Ning have heard of this saying before."

"He who steals jade is a thief; he who steals a kingdom becomes a prince!"

"The current situation is so similar. The various countries under the Heavenly Dou Empire are eyeing it covetously. Even if you successfully ascend the throne, you will still have to face the challenges. The deceased Emperor Xueye no longer poses much of a threat to them."

"The Spirit Hall's attitude is unclear, but given the current domineering nature of the Spirit Hall's Pope, you need to accept the worst-case scenario."

Lin Hai is using information asymmetry tactics here.

"This...it still won't work. This is unacceptable. The Heavenly Dou Empire will not allow an emperor who murders his ruler." Ning Fengzhi repeated the same statement.

Xue Qinghe hesitated. On the surface, she was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and had to cherish her reputation and prestige. But in reality, she was the high-ranking young master of the Spirit Hall, and she could completely disregard her reputation and only care about her goals. However, as the human representative of the Angel God, she came to the Heaven Dou Empire to temper her heart; the test for an angel to become a god required facing the darkness of the human world.

Every choice she makes will affect her, leaving her no room for caution.

If sacrificing one person could save these common people, Qian Renxue was willing to bear this sin.

"Uncle Ning." Lin Hai picked up his teacup and took a small sip without changing his expression.

"In the face of the greater good, individualism does not seem very noble."

"There are some things you know, like the Haotian Sect, which had the highest prestige among the three upper sects back then."

"And now what?"

"Heh, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. I know such a simple truth, why don't you?"

"Or perhaps you haven't realized at all that with the Haotian Sect retreating and closing its gates, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect completely ignoring everything, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is already in the eye of the storm."

"Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been blacklisted by the Spirit Hall."

"Even a powerful sect like the Clear Sky Sect couldn't withstand the Spirit Hall's retaliatory attack. They were forced to close their gates, and their four major single-attribute families either left or scattered."

"Are you really that confident in the strength of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Or do you believe that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo can withstand an attack from the shadows of the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi fell silent.

Then, he became a little more confident. "The Spirit Hall would never do that. If they disregard their image on the continent and start a war on their own, then the Spirit Hall is a joke. They claim to be maintaining peace on the continent, but instead they become the ones who destroy peace."

"The Spirit Hall has no reason to attack our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Oh? What if?"

"Do you dare to bet, Uncle Ning? Hmm!"

"With the power of your sect, what does the Spirit Hall need to fear? The Spirit Hall has at least a handful of Title Douluos on the surface."

"If you were close to the Heavenly Dou Empire, it would be different; they would be wary," Lin Hai said slowly.

In fact, Lin Hai had completely seized the initiative in this conversation.

Ning Fengzhi was speechless after Lin Hai's words. Yes! His only dream in life was to take the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the next level.

What Lin Hai said was not without reason, no, it should be said that it was very true. The Spirit Hall is no longer the Spirit Hall that used to be based on "fairness and justice".

Should he rein in his arrogance and face the fact that the Clear Sky Sect has been suppressed by the Spirit Hall and forced to close its gates?

Lin Hai calmly sipped his tea, waiting for the two who were deep in thought.

……

Ning Fengzhi's heart also began to waver. As the saying goes, it's not the ten thousand that's scary, but the one in ten thousand. What if the Spirit Hall really attacked their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is essential for every qualified leader. The recent incident where Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, openly interfered in the Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies in the Heaven Dou Empire undoubtedly demonstrated the Spirit Hall's skeptical attitude on this continent.

That is, they don't want to be the top power on the continent; they want to rule this continent.

If they really have such thoughts, then these so-called Upper Three Sects are the threat they face directly.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi had already received definite intelligence that the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the four lower sects, had completely submitted to the Spirit Hall.

This is undoubtedly a signal that the Spirit Hall is plotting something.

Qian Renxue's thoughts were not as complicated as Ning Fengzhi's. She was originally a member of the Spirit Hall, but her approach was different from that of the Spirit Hall. She was a follower of the Angel God, and her main purpose was to spread the faith of the Angel God and uphold fairness and justice on the continent.

She came to the Heaven Dou Empire not only to temper her heart and confront the dark side of humanity, but also to resolve the war with the Heaven Dou Empire without bloodshed.

She was very familiar with the situation inside the Spirit Hall. Under Bibi Dong's will and with Qian Daoliu not taking charge, future wars were inevitable. However, she, Qian Renxue, was not Qian Daoliu and could not remain indifferent to the situation on the continent and evil.

Therefore, she came to the Heavenly Dou Empire without hesitation. Qian Daoliu was happy to see his granddaughter come to the mortal world to temper her heart.

……

Time passed slowly, and at a certain moment, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi suddenly met eyes.

They both saw the concerns in each other's eyes.

Lin Hai watched silently from the side, thinking to himself, "I'm really not the chosen one. My persuasive skills have no effect. To get these two to make up their minds, I still need to show them something substantial."

Lin Hai felt a gentle breeze, but his expression remained solemn. He slowly put down the small teacup in his hand and began to work.

Lin Hai's right hand brushed across the storage soul tool in his left hand. A soul-guided pistol appeared in Lin Hai's right hand.

Lin Hai's actions naturally didn't escape Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi's notice. Of course, Lin Hai hadn't intended to hide them; wasn't his research into soul tools precisely for occasions like today?

However, the meeting and alliance took place earlier than he had anticipated. Lin Hai was well aware that any alliance was a community of shared interests, where everyone prospers or suffers together.

The Soul Guidance Pistol was the benefit Lin Hai offered, a benefit that Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi could not refuse.

Lin Hai precisely targeted the weaknesses of the Heavenly Dou Empire's weak combat power and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's lack of combat strength, and then devised a solution.

Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may indeed be the best support class in the world, but no matter how good your support is, you still need someone to protect you, otherwise you're useless.

The Heaven Dou Empire was roughly equal to, at least compared to the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire, it was indeed the weakest.

"What is this?" Xue Qinghe asked, puzzled. Xue Qinghe also voiced Ning Fengzhi's thoughts.

"A soul tool!" Lin Hai said leisurely.

"A soul tool?" This was the first time they had ever seen a soul tool of this type.

"That's right!"

"..." Let's get down to business! What are you doing waving around that soul tool?

"hehe."

"Let's go somewhere else, I'll show you."

"Uncle Ning, this is what I told you about before, the thing I researched!"

Ning Fengzhi squinted at him. "You can make soul tools?"

Forcefully dragging the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into the mess, cutting off Ning Fengzhi's escape route.
