Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 266 Rescuing the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan

"Die..." The last word fell from Ning Fengzhi's mouth, and the four Title Douluos kneeling in the hall were silenced, their breaths almost stopping.

Ning Fengzhi's words seemed devoid of warmth; at this moment, he only needed one sentence to decide the fate of the four of them.

Ning Fengzhi acted this way naturally because of his inner anger. His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was already so powerful, yet he hadn't made a move against the Spirit Hall. But Bibi Dong actually wanted to strike first.

Unlike Gu Xuan, who had a premonition in his heart, Ning Fengzhi was a complete country bumpkin. Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intelligence system was very good, Bibi Dong's methods were indeed clever.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the left wing that was on duty today, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might have actually suffered some losses.

Fortunately, since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become increasingly powerful, at least one Title Douluo patrols the sect every day, rotating monthly, in order to ensure the sect's safety.

Moreover, after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was attacked, Zuo Yi had already led Long Wu and Mi He to Sunset Forest. Although Ye Haitang and Yang Wudi were in Sunset Forest, Ning Fengzhi still did this in order to ensure that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was not lost.

Gu Xuan did not stop her, because what if Bibi Dong discovered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?

Sometimes, having the advantage of foresight doesn't guarantee peace of mind. Just like this Soul Hunting Operation, which started about three months earlier than the original story.

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the four Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall nodded sincerely in response, as they did not want to die, otherwise they would not have chosen to surrender.

Moreover, the fact that Demon Bear Douluo was instantly killed by Chen Xin's sword was a huge shock to them. As titled Douluo, they had never seen such a scene of a titled Douluo-level powerhouse being instantly killed.

Seeing that the four people's attitude was fairly good, Ning Fengzhi's voice continued: "Besides our sect, who else was the target of this plot against the Spirit Hall? Who were the participants?"

Upon hearing the question, Ghost Leopard Douluo was the first to reply: "This operation is called 'Operation Soul Hunting,' and it is mainly aimed at your sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, as well as some forces that are unwilling to join the Spirit Hall."

"Operation Soul Hunt mobilized about 10,000 Soul Masters in total. All the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall were mobilized, and the two elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, mainly led the team to launch a surprise attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Judging from the time, the fighting should have started over there by now."

Lingyuan Douluo hurriedly spoke up, "We—no! The Spirit Hall has also joined forces with the Lower Four Sects. Besides the Soul Hunting operation targeting your sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they also have an operation to instigate a rebellion against the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. The Pope…His Majesty…Bibi Dong has planted a spy in the Imperial Family, the former Second Prince Xue Qinghe, who is now the Crown Prince. They plan to use a substitution trick to overthrow the Heaven Dou Empire, seize the throne, unify the Heaven Dou Empire, and then use it as a base to annex the continent and establish the Spirit Empire…"

Ning Fengzhi voiced his doubts, and the four Title Douluos, kneeling like dogs, revealed everything they knew in order to give him a chance to survive, daring not to hide anything at all.

Given the current strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they are not afraid of any counterattack from the Spirit Hall in the future. If they don't tell the truth now, even if they survive, they will eventually be exposed.

They are all smart people, so they used the smartest method.

After answering all of Ning Fengzhi's questions, the four of them pleaded in unison, "Sect Leader Ning, we were just doing our jobs for others. If you can forgive us, we are willing to risk our lives for you."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the four people upon hearing this, and then looked at Gu Xuan. Gu Xuan was taken aback when he saw Ning Fengzhi's gaze. He hadn't expected Ning Fengzhi to consider his thoughts at this moment, and to do so so openly in front of these four people.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi didn't even ask the two titled Douluo, Jian Gu and others. Wasn't this clearly telling them that they had a lot of say in Ning Fengzhi's eyes and a high status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

However, Gu Xuan was not intimidated. He simply said softly, "Sect Master, these four are also seniors in the Soul Master world. Since they have no grudge against the sect and are only serving Bibi Dong, we might as well keep them this time. After all, they are four Title Douluo. Even if they are cannon fodder, they are still better than ordinary people."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the four nodded. Although Gu Xuan's words had a warning tone, it was better to live than to die now.

Whether someone becomes cannon fodder or not depends on their value and ability, as long as they demonstrate sufficient value in the future.

Those without ability naturally become cannon fodder, while only those with ability survive. Having lived for decades and cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, they understood this principle perfectly.

To their surprise, Gu Xuan now wields such a high degree of influence within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Especially the Serpent Spear and the Porcupine. If it weren't for Serpent Spear Douluo's secret letter, Gu Xuan might not have been able to marry Qian Renxue as his sixth wife!

After all, it was thanks to the groundwork laid by the Serpent Spear Douluo that Qian Daoliu took notice and asked the Golden Crocodile Douluo to thoroughly examine Gu Xuan.

But how could the snake spear and the pufferfish dare to mention this now? They save such words for later when they're alive to build relationships; if they use them now, they might not survive.

After learning about Bibi Dong's action plan, Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought.

He had already learned about Qian Renxue's situation from Gu Xuan. Although the news had indeed caused him some distress at the time, it disappeared once it was confirmed that Qian Renxue would marry Gu Xuan.

After all, it's good that her student, whom she has taught for many years, has become Gu Xuan's woman; it's like keeping the good stuff within the family.

Moreover, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wants to unify the continent, the Heavenly Dou Empire is an obstacle that must be eliminated.

Originally, due to the relationship between Gu Xuan and Xue Ke, Ning Fengzhi couldn't think of a good way to solve this problem for a while, but now Bibi Dong has done it for him.

Ning Fengzhi was naturally happy to be able to eliminate the royal family without lifting a finger.

Ning Fengzhi was a little worried that Gu Xuan might act impulsively, but it turned out he was overthinking it.

When Gu Xuan noticed Ning Fengzhi deep in thought, he offered his opinion: "Sect Master, the royal family will definitely be a stumbling block on our future path. Now that Bibi Dong has helped us, there's no need for us to rush to Tiandou City."

Gu Xuan paused for a moment, then continued, "But I think the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can be saved."

Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow, intending to test Gu Xuan, and asked, "Why? What are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan didn't rush to answer, but instead called out to Gu Rong, "Grandpa."

Seeing Gu Xuan's expression, Gu Rong instantly understood. He activated his spatial power, directly isolating the space of the four Title Douluos kneeling below, preventing them from hearing Gu Xuan and Ning Fengzhi's conversation.

Seeing Gu Rong nod, Gu Xuan continued, "If we want to unify the continent, it certainly won't be easy relying on ourselves alone. If we can have the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it will be much easier."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Ning Fengzhi nodded, agreeing with Gu Xuan's statement.

In fact, with the current strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and with the combined strength of the elders of the Offering Hall, it would be easy for them to conquer the continent. However, Gu Xuan did not intend to kill everyone else, after all, these people would be his subjects in the future.

Gu Xuan desired a prosperous era of diverse talents and intellectual ferment, so preserving the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan was not a problem.

After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is currently powerless to oppose him, and it will be even less likely in the future.

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is still one of the three upper clans. If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stands on the side of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and supports them, then they will be able to save face and save face.

With the support of one of the three major sects and the Spirit Hall (Hall of Worship), the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have fewer objections when it unifies the continent and inherits the throne.

Once I ascend to the throne, after several decades, the continent will be truly unified.

After listening to Gu Xuan's advice, Ning Fengzhi looked at the four Title Douluos kneeling below, and Gu Rong also removed the spatial blockade.

"The four of you are willing to join our sect, which I naturally welcome. However, since you have committed acts of aggression against our sect before, I intend to give you something as an extra layer of protection." Ning Fengzhi revealed a warm smile, as if he genuinely accepted the four of them.

Upon hearing this, Ghost Leopard Douluo and the other three looked up at Ning Fengzhi with delight, nodding repeatedly: "Thank you, Sect Master. From now on, we are willing to dedicate ourselves to the sect until our dying breath."

Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone, please rise. From now on, the four of you will serve in the Elder Hall."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Hearing this, the four of them slowly stood up. Because they dared not relax their soul power while kneeling, and with the pressure from Gu Rong and Chen Xin, their heads were bruised and they were trembling when they stood up.

Seeing that the group had stood up and quickly gotten into character, Ning Fengzhi chuckled and took out four porcelain bottles, tossing them to the four of them.

The four of them looked at the porcelain bottle in their hands, wondering what was inside, but under Ning Fengzhi's watchful gaze, they opened it nonetheless.

As soon as the porcelain bottle was opened, the four of them took a sniff, and a strange fragrance spread to their noses, making their hearts pound.

This is not a treasure, but poison, a terrible poison.

Especially the Porcupine Douluo, who is capable of feeding on poison and has extremely strong resistance to poison, but after smelling this strange fragrance, his expression became very serious.

"Sect Master, what is this?" Ghost Leopard Douluo asked.

Ning Fengzhi chuckled: "This is Elder Dugu's latest masterpiece. Even a titled Douluo-level expert would suffer excruciating pain and die from rotting flesh if he didn't take the antidote within a month of consuming it."

"However, if it is refined together with an antidote, it will be a rare treasure and will be of great benefit to cultivation."

Looking at Ning Fengzhi's warm smile and hearing his words, the four members of Ghost Leopard felt a chill run down their spines. Is this what you gave them?

But they knew they had no other choice, for they were prisoners and their only option to survive was to take the poison.

Seeing the four people's expressions change and become serious, Ning Fengzhi's smile remained unchanged: "Don't worry, everyone. Uncle Gu will take you to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for rescue in a while. This thing is just in case."

"As long as your performance in this rescue satisfies Uncle Bone, I will present you with the antidote upon your return. With the antidote combined with this rare and fragrant body-rejuvenating saliva, it might even allow your cultivation to advance further."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the four of them stopped hesitating, since they really had no other choice.

The four of them directly poured the fragrant saliva into their mouths. The saliva turned into a warm current and entered their bodies. It was like a leech that wouldn't go away. Even though the Porcupine Douluo secretly used his ability to devour toxins, he was still unable to get rid of it.

Just a few breaths later, all four of them felt their bodies go limp and experienced unbearable burning pain inside their bodies.

Only then did they realize that Ning Fengzhi was not lying to them; the poison really did have such an effect, and given their physical condition, it only took a few breaths for it to take effect.

This made them even more terrified of Dugu Bo. When they first met Dugu Bo, they were already shocked when they felt his soul power fluctuations, which reached level 95. After all, Dugu Bo was once known as the weakest Title Douluo, but now he was able to control them.

This shock was to be expected, because although Dugu Bo's poison was terrifying, even a Title Douluo would feel fear if poisoned by it. However, at the Title Douluo level, Dugu Bo's poison had great difficulty penetrating their bodies, and therefore could not exert its corresponding effect.

It is precisely because of this that Dugu Bo earned the title of the weakest Title Douluo.

But now things are different. Not only has Dugu Bo's strength been terrifyingly enhanced, but Gui Bao and the others dared not resist at all and swallowed the Qi Xiang Huan Ti Saliva, which directly invaded their bodies. Naturally, they had no way to remove this level of terrifying toxin.

Even the Porcupine Douluo couldn't remove Dugu Bo's toxin, which is why they were terrified.

Seeing that the four people were poisoned, Ning Fengzhi threw out four more porcelain bottles. The four people caught them and opened and drank the contents without hesitation.

After taking the contents of the porcelain bottle handed to them by Ning Fengzhi, the four people's complexions gradually returned to calm, and the poison stopped acting up. However, it remained in their bodies like a leech, unable to be completely eliminated, only hidden away.

Ning Fengzhi said, "The pills you just took can suppress the effects of the Fragrance Rejuvenating Saliva, but if you don't take the antidote within a month, you will still die from the poison. So, it all depends on your performance now."

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the four immediately knelt down again, their voices trembling as they said, "We have no disloyal intentions and are willing to die for our sect leader!"

Seeing the four kneel down again, Ning Fengzhi raised his hand: "Elders, there is no need for this. This poison is both a warning and an opportunity for you. The final choice is entirely up to you."

The four hurriedly replied in a panic, "We understand."

Ning Fengzhi then said to Gu Rong in a low voice, "Uncle Gu, I'll trouble you to take the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to their aid."

Gu Rong nodded, and just as Gu Rong was about to speak, Gu Xuan spoke up: "Uncle, Yanzi and I will go and take a look too."

This time, Gu Xuan didn't call him Sect Master, but instead called him Uncle.

Upon hearing Gu Xuan speak, Ning Fengzhi initially wanted to refuse, since this was a battle between Title Douluos. However, after considering Gu Xuan's strength, Ning Fengzhi changed his mind about not letting Gu Xuan go.

Ning Fengzhi and the others already knew about Qian Renxue's strength as a Title Douluo, and the same was true for Gu Xuan's victory over Qian Renxue. Gu Xuan's strength was undoubtedly formidable, given that he was able to defeat Qian Renxue, who possessed two 100,000-year soul rings.

Ning Fengzhi nodded: "Putting your own safety first is the priority."

Gu Xuan nodded: "Understood."

Then Gu Xuan looked at Gu Rong and said, "Grandpa, let's go."

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
