Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"He ran away too, and judging from the direction, he should be heading straight back to Tiandou City."

Lying down on the sofa, Guangling felt much more relaxed.

He had been on edge the whole time, especially after the battle started, when he secretly locked onto Gu Rong with his soul skill, making Gu Rong wary and not attack again. That's how Hai Liuyun found an opportunity to cut down the people from Tianyin Academy.

Now that everyone who was supposed to leave has left, it's time to relax.

Chapter 159 Seven Treasures Change Their Mind

With the dense fog created by Guangling's ice-attribute soul power, no one knew what was happening in Tianyin Academy. Even those who dared to sneak in were secretly killed by Guangling.

After sending over a hundred people away, no one in Tianyin City dared to go in anymore and could only wait quietly.

Four days later, the thick fog dissipated, and the scene that was revealed left everyone completely bewildered.

The former Tianyin Academy had been transformed into a huge lake, and even the outer walls had disappeared.

Inside Tianyin Academy, there is an artificial lake that connects to a river outside the city. After Tian Hao and his group dug away the foundation and revealed the pit, it was filled with river water, thus creating this enormous artificial lake.

"It's so dark!"

Touching the smooth, knife-cut edge of the lake, Ning Fengzhi, still pale-faced, muttered a complaint.

He hadn't actually gone far; he was recuperating in a city a hundred miles away. He came to check as soon as he received the news.

This was clearly cut up by the other party with sword energy and then packed up and moved away. The other party must have an extremely large storage soul tool and must also have a lot of manpower. Obviously, the foundation of Huanyin Academy is much deeper than what they found out.

"We're going to cooperate with that little black guy?"

Gu Rong was a little annoyed and didn't like the kid who had tricked him.

"Our people still haven't found out Lingyue's true identity. It's not just that it's difficult to find out, but there's also a force helping to cover it up, a force originating from within the empire."

Standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the mountain outside the city, Ning Fengzhi recalled their conversation that day.

Although they were tricked, the kid was right. If Crown Prince Xueye were to use Lingyue to form a marriage alliance with one of the other seven major sects, it would indeed not be a good thing for their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

That means that Xueye has other options, and there are some things that no longer require close cooperation with their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"I don't like that little black guy, but I dislike that prince even more; he's too hypocritical."

Gu Rong disliked that Xue Ye Prince, and the other party was also wary of them.

"I don't like it either, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can only rely on the Heaven Dou Empire."

With a helpless expression, Ning Fengzhi was well aware of the ruthlessness and complexity of the imperial family, but the nature of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School dictated that they could only rely on the empire.

"Perhaps allowing Prince Xue Zhan to inherit the throne is not necessarily a bad thing for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Thinking of the head of the Dugu family, Ning Fengzhi had a bold idea.

This incident proves that Xueye is not a good partner. The other party is too ambitious. If they really bring in one of the seven major sects, the influence of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in Tiandou City will inevitably be reduced.

The pie in Tiandou City is only so big. If more people come in to share it, it will definitely disrupt the original distribution ratio, which is not a good thing.

If Xueye is unable to ascend the throne, then they can try to win over Dugu Bo.

Having a strategic-level poison-attribute Soul Master would actually enhance the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's strength and influence.

After all, in this world, the strong are respected in everything. As long as you are strong enough, no one can threaten you.

"Abandon Xueye? The sect has already invested a lot in him."

Gu Rong was quite surprised to understand the meaning behind Ning Fengzhi's words.

“He has other options on snowy nights, and we must have them too, otherwise we'll be too passive.”

His eyes were much clearer; after this incident, Ning Fengzhi's attitude towards problems had changed significantly.

While the best target for cooperation at this stage is Xueye, we cannot be too passive in the cooperation.

That saying makes a lot of sense: there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

"Uncle Gu, after you go back, could you please secretly go to Prince Xue Zhan's place? I have a letter I want to give him."

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi decided to act as a matchmaker between the young man and Prince Xue Zhan, believing that the two would have a lot in common.

The young man was right. There were some things that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't do themselves, but they could indirectly have others do them, as long as the final result satisfied them.

This way of keeping one's achievements and fame hidden is actually better.

"Ok!"

Gu Rong responded, knowing exactly what to do. With his spatial soul skill, sending a letter silently was not difficult, and he was certain no one would know.

"Her two guards did not leave with Xueye; they are still in this city. I have already sent people to probe them, and I expect to have results soon."

With a change of expression, Ning Fengzhi wanted to see which family Xue Ye had her eye on.

In the past, there were people outside to protect us on snowy nights, so it was not easy to test them, but now there are none.

He didn't have to wait long; soon an old man rushed over.

"It's the Haotian Hammer."

"No wonder!"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized that, given the size of the Haotian Sect, it was indeed worth the risk and cost Xue Ye was willing to take.

"Should we go and warn that little black guy?"

After asking, Bone Douluo also felt that it was not good to arrange a marriage between Xueye and the Haotian Sect.

Now that he has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he naturally has to think about things from the perspective of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

A marriage alliance between Xueye and Haotian Sect would obviously not be in the interests of Qibao Liuli Sect. Although the three sects are supposed to be closely connected, that's just talk, and there are many instances of the three sects secretly plotting against each other.

Moreover, given the domineering and arrogant style of the Haotian Sect, it is really not suitable for too much close contact.

"Don't do it for now, so as not to scare him. Let them get to know each other first."

Looking again at the mountain outside the city, Ning Fengzhi was eager to see how far the young man could go.

Leaving aside Ning Fengzhi's schemes, on the other side of the city, on a mountaintop shrouded in mist, Tian Hao was talking with Qian Daoliu.

"You should think this through. If the City of Slaughter really is the place where the Asura God King passed on his legacy, even if my god secretly left protective measures on you, it may not be able to save your life."

Qian Daoliu looked very serious. Although he had already made plans with the Angel God's consciousness, this trip was indeed too dangerous. After all, he was going to face the Asura God King, and even just a wisp of his divine consciousness would be difficult to deal with.

"I want to try."

Tian Hao's attitude remained firm.

Although the news brought by Qian Daoliu was bad, it made him feel even more urgent, and some plans had to be accelerated.

Poseidon has already achieved the level 100 Godhood in terms of Soul Power, and I believe Tang Chen should be close to that as well.

The variables had already been there. He had to figure out Tang Chen's Haotian Hammer as soon as possible, and if possible, also take the City of Slaughter, especially the place that granted him the Transformation God of Slaughter Domain, which was definitely filled with Asura God Power.

If he could completely absorb that divine power, his Asura Seven Kill Sword would surely be able to catch up with the Blue Silver Divine Tree in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can also be strengthened there, and with the Haotian Hammer that can bear the power of destruction, there are many benefits.

Now that the angelic consciousness has been guided by me, I am determined to take action against the City of Slaughter. How could I miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Taking the risk is worthwhile.

Furthermore, he must speed up his progress. If the gods are to devote more power and attention to this world, he will be at a disadvantage if he has not grown up quickly enough.

"Before you go in, you'd better find an opportunity to go to the battlefield to experience what real killing is like."

Qian Daoliu was gratified by his grandson-in-law's resolute attitude and offered some words of advice.

He knew that Tian Hao had been through battles and had eliminated many bandits, but those battles were nothing compared to the real battlefield. The real battlefield was far more brutal.

The current situation in the Killing City is still unclear, so it's always good to be prepared.

Chapter 160 The Queen of Tea Bitches

"That's secondary. The key is that I need to simulate and refine the unique soul power of the Clear Sky Hammer and integrate it into the Seven Kill Sword, so that I can become a hybrid of the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Kill Sword lineage."

In this way, even if Tang Chen really becomes the guardian of the Asura God King's inheritance, knowing that he will inevitably have to sacrifice himself for the inheritor of the godhood, he will be willing to do so and will be much safer.

"Grandpa, please make the arrangements and select a suitable candidate from the Haotian Sect, preferably someone who has had contact with Senior Brother Chenxin..."

Having voiced his thoughts, Tian Hao naturally wouldn't recklessly charge headlong into the City of Slaughter; necessary precautions had to be taken.

The backup plan arranged by the angel was secondary; the key was to find a person with a blood relationship to Tang Chen.

That's right, he's planning to follow the path of the future Tang San.

"..."

His old face twitched repeatedly; Qian Daoliu had no choice but to admire this kind of wild idea.

They were thinking about how to hide this guy's identity, but who would have thought he would directly want to claim kinship? If it really works out, he won't be in danger in the Killing City; on the contrary, he'll be safe.

No wonder this kid can come up with so many ingenious ideas; their thinking is still too conservative.

"Tang Chen has a younger brother who was lost and raised away. He is his father's illegitimate son. His martial soul mutated and degenerated when he awakened. If he were still alive, he would be a good choice."

After thinking for a while, Qian Daoliu came up with a suitable target.

The best candidate would be someone with a bloodline similar to Tang Chen's, since Tang Chen's strength would surely allow him to sense it, making it easier to deceive him.

"While I don't discriminate against true love between people of the same sex, such love cannot produce offspring."

Scratching his head, Tian Hao felt that the old man's thinking was even more avant-garde than his own as a time traveler.

Although he wouldn't mind being his senior brother Chenxin's son for the time being, there's really no way that two people of the same sex could have a child out of love.

"You won't allow someone to have children and have a daughter?"

With a black line on his forehead, Qian Daoliu really wanted to kick him.

What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long?

"Oh!"

With an awkward chuckle, Tian Hao felt relieved.

"Your idea is good, but there's a problem. The Killing Capital is truly the place of inheritance for the Asura God King. If he really takes a liking to you, won't you be tempted?"

With a change of expression, Qian Daoliu scrutinized his newborn grandson-in-law and couldn't help but worry about the man's loyalty.
