Standing beside him was Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
This level 98 power-attack type titled Douluo had his hands behind his back, his white hair as white as snow, and his gaze as calm as water. He was like a sharp sword that had been sheathed, without any sharp edge, yet people dared not look him in the eye.
"Wang Teng, you're back."
When Ning Fengzhi saw Wang Teng enter the hall, he slightly raised his hand to signal him to sit down. Although he had a smile on his face, there was clearly a layer of worry beneath the smile.
Without standing on ceremony, Wang Teng sat down in the guest seat and went straight to the point, asking, "Uncle Ning, what's the matter?"
"Grandpa Bone only said on the way that there was something going on at the sect, but I don't know the specifics yet."
Ning Fengzhi did not rush to answer, but instead picked up his teacup and took a sip, seemingly considering his words.
After a moment, he put down his teacup and said slowly, "The pressure from the Spirit Hall has been increasing lately."
"As you should know, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has many trade routes and industries in the two great empires. However, recently these trade routes have been frequently harassed by the Spirit Hall. Checkpoints have been blocked, goods have been seized, and some branch managers have even been injured for no reason."
"Under this pressure, I have had to give up some of the Star Luo Empire's overt strongholds."
Wang Teng's brows slowly furrowed.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What happened?"
"Did the Spirit Hall make a sudden move?"
"We're now on Xue Qinghe's side, so logically the Spirit Hall shouldn't be attacking us, right?"
"They must have pinned the blame for Ghost Leopard Douluo's death on us."
Ning Fengzhi sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness.
“Ghost Leopard Douluo was, after all, an elder of the Spirit Hall with the combat power of a Title Douluo. Now that he has died ‘unexplained’, the Spirit Hall cannot have done nothing.”
"They investigated and investigated, but the matter remained unclear. I suspect they've pinned the blame on our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Whether it's to stabilize morale within the organization, to use us as a warning to Qian Renxue, or because they see our weakness, in any case, the Spirit Hall has made a move against us this time."
"Tsk..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng clicked his tongue softly, momentarily at a loss for words.
After all, Ghost Leopard Douluo did die by his own hand.
The attack came suddenly, and Wang Teng had to go all out to save his life. In the end, he used various means to kill the titled Douluo.
It wouldn't be unfair to hold the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School responsible for this.
After all, Wang Teng is now a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After a moment of silence, Wang Teng raised his head, looked calmly at Ning Fengzhi, and asked, "Uncle Ning, what do you plan to do?"
Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile and spread his hands, saying, "I only asked Uncle Gu to bring you back because I didn't have any better ideas."
"You're quick-witted and full of ideas, see if you have any good solutions."
Since Wang Teng joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo have made many important decisions together.
Over time, Ning Fengzhi stopped treating him like a child.
Ning Fengzhi saw a calmness and ruthlessness in this young man that far exceeded that of his peers. So when he was at a loss and faced with the Spirit Hall’s relentless pressure, the first person he thought of was Wang Teng.
After listening, Wang Teng did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and fell into deep thought.
The hall fell silent; even breathing could be heard clearly.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged a glance but neither of them spoke up to disturb them.
After a long while, Wang Teng finally raised his head and slowly said, "It's definitely not going to work if we go head-to-head with the Spirit Hall."
"Their strength is undeniable; they have a level 99 Limit Douluo in charge, and the number of Title Douluos far exceeds ours."
"If a full-scale war breaks out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not gain any advantage."
"No, it should be said that defeat is inevitable."
"you're right."
Sword Douluo nodded, his voice low but each word steady.
"In the end, it's still a matter of not having enough strength."
Bone Douluo echoed, his gaze sharp.
Wang Teng changed the subject and continued, "However, we can't just not take action."
“If we keep retreating because we’re scared, the Spirit Hall will not only not stop, but will think we’re easy to bully. They’ll take advantage of us and make things even more difficult.”
"What should I do?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the table.
"If we were to clash with the Spirit Hall, it would be difficult to control the intensity of the conflict."
"Too light a move is useless, but too heavy a move could escalate into a full-scale war between the two major powers... the consequences would be unimaginable."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Ning Fengzhi's concerns were not unfounded.
Although there are many conflicts between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they have maintained a delicate balance for many years, and neither side is willing to be the first to break off relations.
But now, the death of Ghost Leopard Douluo is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and the ripples are expanding in circles.
If not handled properly, it could very well trigger a major war in which the Spirit Hall sweeps across the Douluo Continent.
Wang Teng thought about it again, and his eyes gradually became clear.
He began, "This whole thing started because Ghost Leopard Douluo attacked me first."
"Since the Spirit Hall is blaming us for Ghost Leopard Douluo's death, we might as well retaliate. They harm our people, so we'll harm theirs."
"Isn't the Spirit Hall supposed to have a 'Golden Generation' of geniuses?"
"Those young geniuses are treated like treasures by them."
"If we can take down one or two of them, the Spirit Hall will feel the pinch for a while."
"Use the deaths of the Golden Generation to offset the impact of Ghost Leopard Douluo's death."
"It would be best to divert the Spirit Hall's attention elsewhere, away from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
After speaking, Wang Teng looked at Ning Fengzhi, waiting for his decision.
"Killed the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation?"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly frowned again.
“Those kids are indeed exceptionally talented, but they usually stay in Wuhun City and rarely come out.”
"One of them is a disciple of the Pope, and the forces secretly protecting him are not weak."
"It will be quite difficult to assassinate them."
Wang Teng waved his hand dismissively and said, "The Golden Generation can't possibly stay cooped up in Wuhun City forever, can they?"
"They also need to train and hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings."
"We can lie in wait on some of the only routes we can take. If we get the chance, we'll kill them; if not, then so be it."
"If we can't get revenge this time, we still have a backup plan."
"At worst, we can let Grandpa Jian go out and show off his strength."
"A level 98 offensive titled Douluo, even if Qian Daoliu himself came, he would have to think twice about it on the continent."
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Although he didn't speak, his calm eyes clearly revealed a hint of approval.
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then finally made the decision: "Okay, let's do it this way."
"Let's try to find an opportunity with the golden generation first, and if that doesn't work, then we'll take the second step."
After everyone had discussed and agreed on the plan, they dispersed to make their own preparations.
Seven days later, Ning Fengzhi finally received a definite message through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's network of spies spread across the continent.
The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, a group of several people, left Spirit City and headed to the infamous Death Canyon outside the city to hunt spirit beasts.
That place has complex terrain and many spirit beasts, making it a good place for training. But it is precisely because of this that it gives others an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Chapter 419 Death Canyon, The Golden Generation
Upon receiving the message, Ning Fengzhi immediately informed Bone Douluo.
Without saying a word, Bone Douluo set off with Sword Douluo to the Death Canyon.
Just as the two were about to set off, Wang Teng stepped forward and said that he also wanted to go.
"No."
Ning Fengzhi refused without hesitation, saying, "Although your soul power has reached level fifty-eight, it's still too early for you to participate in this kind of battle."
"Moreover, in a place like Death Canyon, if something happens, the aftershocks of a battle could very well take your life."
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng refused to back down and explained with a smile, "Uncle Ning, with two Title Douluos, Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone, by my side, what could possibly happen to me?"
"Besides, I'll have to deal with this kind of thing someday."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Wang Teng, then at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Sword Douluo nodded slightly, and Bone Douluo did not object.
Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing, "Alright, you can go with me, but there's one condition—you're not allowed to act on your own. You must follow the arrangements of your Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa."
"Don't worry, Uncle Ning."
Wang Teng grinned, but a glint of something unfathomable flashed in his eyes.
That afternoon, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo took Wang Teng and left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Because of Bone Douluo's spatial soul skill, no one noticed their actions.
……
Death Canyon is located at the intersection of Wuhun City, Xingluo Empire and Xingdou Great Forest, and is a mountainous and hilly area that stretches for hundreds of miles.
