"but--"
Ning Fengzhi changed the subject, saying, "Chrysanthemum Douluo is a member of the Spirit Hall."
"Once Rongrong consumes the immortal herb and breaks through her martial soul, Chrysanthemum Douluo might make the connection and guess the secret of the immortal herb."
"Then, we'll be in big trouble."
“The Spirit Hall’s interest in this thing is no less than ours.”
Wang Teng fell silent.
He originally thought that as long as he found the right path, everything would be fine, but he didn't expect that every step would be so difficult.
"What should I do?"
Wang Teng was truly at his wit's end.
The four people sat around the table in silence.
The sunlight outside the window moved little by little, and the shadows on the bookshelf lengthened accordingly.
After a long while, Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but his words were astonishing: "How about... we take down Chrysanthemum Douluo or one of Yang Wudi directly?"
"what?"
Wang Teng and the other two looked up at the same time, staring at him in shock.
They never expected that Ning Fengzhi, who was usually gentle and tactful, would say such radical things.
"Feng Zhi, are you serious?"
Sword Douluo stared at Ning Fengzhi, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
"Seriously."
Ning Fengzhi's gaze swept over the three of them, and he said in a calm and firm tone, "Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan, although he is powerful, is ultimately not a Title Douluo."
"If we launch a surprise attack, we have a good chance of taking him down."
"As for Chrysanthemum Douluo..."
Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment and looked at Sword Douluo.
Sword Douluo picked up the conversation and analyzed, "Taking down Yang Wudi by surprise should be feasible."
“Although he is powerful, his soul power level is what it is. If the two of us, both titled Douluos, take action, he won’t be able to escape.”
"But taking down Chrysanthemum Douluo will be troublesome."
"Putting aside the fact that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are almost inseparable, if the two of them join forces, we won't have the upper hand."
"Furthermore, Chrysanthemum Douluo is a Super Douluo, level 95 or above. Even if we fight one-on-one, Old Bone and I together cannot defeat him in a short time."
"If this drags on, reinforcements from the Spirit Hall will arrive."
"what?"
Bone Douluo looked at his old partner with a shocked expression and said, "You really want to attack them?"
"I thought Feng Zhi was just saying that."
Sword Douluo glanced at him without saying a word, but his eyes clearly said—Do you think I'm joking?
Wang Teng watched as the three elders seriously discussed kidnapping and ambush, feeling both absurd and somewhat shocked.
These guys are really daring and bold.
Suddenly, Wang Teng remembered something, reached into his storage soul tool, took out several stone bottles, and placed them on the table.
The stone bottle was small, grayish-white all over, and its mouth was sealed tightly with mud.
"By the way, I have a kind of toxin here that might be able to help you."
Wang Teng suddenly said.
Sword Douluo glanced at the stone bottles, shook his head, and said, "Kid, ordinary poisons won't work on a Title Douluo."
"Otherwise, Dugu Bo wouldn't be called the weakest Title Douluo."
"Poison is only so effective against opponents of the same level."
"Grandpa Jian, wouldn't you like to take a look at my things before drawing any conclusions?"
Wang Teng smiled, made no attempt to explain, and instead reached out to pick up a stone bottle and uncorked it.
Immediately afterwards, a faint warmth wafted out of the bottle, carrying an indescribable aura.
It wasn't a pungent, fishy stench, nor a strong medicinal aroma, but rather a... deep and dangerous feeling, as if the bottle contained not water, but some kind of lurking beast.
Sword Douluo's expression changed, and he quickly took the bottle and looked down to examine it closely.
The stone bottle contained a red spring water, the color of which resembled the sunset glow, and it radiated considerable heat.
Then, he gently fanned the air around the bottle with his fingers, brought it closer to his nose, and his expression immediately turned serious.
"This is……"
Sword Douluo's voice was somewhat strained.
As a titled Douluo, his perception far surpasses that of ordinary people.
From this bottle of spring water, he not only felt the scorching temperature, but also an extremely domineering fire poison.
The level of that toxin was so high that even he felt a slight unease.
"how?"
Wang Teng asked confidently.
These springs were drawn from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where the water contains the extreme toxicity of both ice and fire. After millions of years of sedimentation, its toxicity is far beyond that of ordinary poisons.
These springs were specially filled by Wang Teng when he was hunting for his fourth spirit ring alone.
Wang Teng was confident that this thing would be effective even against Title Douluos.
"What a potent toxin."
Sword Douluo said seriously.
Then, he put the cork back on and carefully placed it back on the table.
"If this thing hits a Title Douluo, it'll be enough to give him a hard time."
"Uncle Jian, can we use it on Chrysanthemum Douluo?"
Ning Fengzhi asked hurriedly.
Sword Douluo pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Okay."
"If Chrysanthemum Pass were hit by this thing during a sneak attack, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die."
"By then, it would be good if he could retain 30% of his strength."
"In this way, we will be absolutely confident of taking him down."
Sword Douluo looked at Bone Douluo and continued, "As long as Old Bone is fast enough, with the stealth of his spatial soul skill, he can quickly take down Chrysanthemum Douluo even if he makes a move near Spirit City, without alerting anyone else."
Bone Douluo stroked his beard, nodded, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
"If that's the case, then so be it."
Ning Fengzhi slammed his hand on the table, stood up, his eyes burning with determination, and said, "It's decided then."
"I'll send someone to gather information about Yang Wudi and Juhua Pass's current situation, whereabouts, and habits."
"As for who to target next, we will decide based on the information we gather."
After saying that, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly pushed open the door and went out, his steps as fast as if he had become twenty years younger.
The fifth floor of the library fell silent again.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance and then got up and left.
As Bone Douluo reached the door, he glanced back at Wang Teng, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Kid, not bad."
Wang Teng smiled but didn't reply.
He sat back down by the window, opened a book he hadn't finished reading, but his gaze lingered on the clouds outside, unmoving for a long time.
Chapter 387 Intercepting Chrysanthemum Douluo
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's businesses are spread all over the continent, and they have businesses in almost every decent city.
Wherever the trading company went, spies naturally followed, weaving a vast and secretive intelligence network.
However, even with such a strong intelligence force, finding out news about Yang Wudi and Ju Douluo was still incredibly difficult.
After all, one of these two people is a Soul Douluo, and the other is a Title Douluo.
At their level, they no longer need to personally handle ordinary matters.
Yang Wudi rarely left his secluded home, either researching medicinal formulas in the secret chamber of the Po clan or cultivating rare herbs in the back mountains, rarely even seeing his own clansmen.
Chrysanthemum Douluo is even more elusive, spending most of his time in Wuhun City. When he does go out, he is always accompanied by Ghost Douluo, and he is almost never alone.
Finding an opportunity to launch a surprise attack when they are alone is a matter of luck and is not something that can be forced.
A month passed quickly.
Ning Fengzhi sat in his study, his desk piled high with intelligence reports from various places. He flipped through them one by one, his brows furrowing more and more deeply.
There was no movement from Yang Wudi's side, and Ju Douluo's side also showed no sign of leaving Wuhun City.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea had gone cold, and a bitter taste spread across his tongue.
Just as Ning Fengzhi was getting impatient, a messenger disciple strode into the study, knelt on one knee, and presented a sealed letter with wax seal in both hands.
"Sect Master, urgent intelligence."
Ning Fengzhi took the secret letter, tore open the seal, unfolded the letter, and quickly glanced at it. His previously furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Are you telling the truth? Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have left Spirit City?"
Ning Fengzhi looked up at the disciple, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Yes, Sect Master."
