Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

Although reason tells the Wind Sword Sect disciples that the other party probably doesn't have any malicious intent, after all, the Wind Sword Sect hasn't done anything wrong.

However, the alert cannot be lifted until the sect leader, Feng Bailong, gives his orders.

Looking at the Fengjian Sect disciples ahead, who appeared to be facing a formidable enemy, and the several Fengjian Sect elders who had rushed over with ashen faces, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but rub her forehead and mutter to herself:

"Oh no, we've been discovered... We definitely need to raid at night next time! It's too much of a target in broad daylight!"

Yes.

Although Ning Rongrong and her companions had high hopes, thinking that a surprise attack would be very convenient.

However, there was a problem with their departure time.

At this time, it was still quite bright outside.

Moreover, there were four of them.

In the air, they are quite conspicuous targets.

Sure enough, it was discovered immediately, and it alerted the disciples of the Wind Sword Sect.

"Why do the disciples of the Wind Sword Sect seem to be much more vigilant than those of the Elephant Armor Sect?"

Ning Rongrong muttered to herself.

Gu Yuena heard Ning Rongrong's words, and although she was also wondering why she had overlooked the crucial element of timing in the surprise attack, she remained calm.

"Being discovered was a miscalculation. But it's not a big problem. Although a surprise attack is probably out of the question, we already have other methods, don't we? Daytime has its advantages, at least... it's easier to explain, easier to hide our purpose, and we can see more clearly. Besides, we can't wait until nightfall. Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it."

She turned to look at Ning Fengzhi.

"Sect Leader Ning, it seems we should stall for time under the guise of communication. Charging in now that we've already been exposed would be too risky—even the elders are here, which means killing the people at the gate now would be pointless."

Ning Fengzhi instantly understood Gu Yuena's meaning, suppressed a trace of annoyance in his heart, quickly put on a gentle smile, and said:

"Gentlemen, there seems to be some misunderstanding. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already informed the Spirit Hall that we wish to come to the Lower Four Sects for exchange and learning. We have come here precisely to learn from the Wind Sword School. We would be grateful if you could do us a favor."

After listening to the discussion, the elders of the Wind Sword Sect looked at each other, but ultimately could not come up with any decision.

"If you have something to say, go and say it to the sect leader! The sect leader will be here soon!"

Finally, one of the disciples responded to Ning Fengzhi.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Well... that's fine. Talking directly with Sect Master Feng Bailong should clear up any misunderstandings. Alright, we'll wait a bit."

He spoke to the three people behind him.

The three nodded in agreement.

Before long, Feng Bailong hurriedly arrived at the sect's entrance.

He realized in an instant that something was wrong.

Fortunately, a fight hasn't broken out yet.

So, despite the pressure, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

He frowned.

"Sect Leader Ning, is there something important you wish to discuss with my Wind Sword Sect today?"

He asked.

Ning Fengzhi also stepped forward and addressed Feng Bailong, the sect leader of the Wind Sword Sect, in a loud voice:

"Sect Master Feng, it's been a long time. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has come to the Wind Sword Sect for an exchange, as previously agreed. Unfortunately, we made a mistake and forgot to inform your sect again, which makes our actions seem a bit hasty. We hope Sect Master Feng will forgive us."

His gaze swept over the tense disciples, his expression suggestive.

"hiss--"

Feng Bailong took a deep breath.

comminicate?

He looked the group over again.

He knew Ning Fengzhi and the ancient banyan tree.

He had also heard of Ning Rongrong.

He didn't recognize the silver-haired woman, but her aura was terrifying.

Of the four, if anyone needs the experience gained from this exchange, it would be Ning Rongrong.

However, Ning Rongrong's expression didn't seem like she wanted to learn anything.

Feng Bailong was filled with doubt and unease. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's display did not seem like a simple exchange at all.

But since the other party has already offered a way out, if he refuses firmly, he will appear guilty and unhospitable.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really came to exchange ideas, then his refusal would undoubtedly be hindering the development of the Wind Sword School.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has other motives for coming here, then his refusal might cause them to break ties with the Wind Sword School, which would also be detrimental to the Wind Sword School's development.

After thinking for a while, Feng Bailong's expression turned even uglier.

This refusal is, by all accounts, an option that cannot be chosen.

Therefore, we cannot refuse yet.

He forced a smile and cupped his hands in greeting:

"So you've come to exchange ideas with my Wind Sword Sect! We are so sorry for not welcoming you sooner! It's just that recently… cough, there have been some minor troubles within the sect, and the disciples have been a bit tense. Please come in! Please come inside!"

He stepped aside to make way, while signaling to his disciples and elders to lower their guard.

Of course, although that's what he instructed his disciples to do, Feng Bailong's own eyes were still filled with vigilance.

These vigilances did not escape the notice of the four men.

However, the four of them did not intend to pursue the matter further.

Greeted by Feng Bailong, the four of them successfully entered the Wind Sword Sect.

After visiting for a while.

Wind Sword Sect, Council Hall.

The spacious council chamber was filled with the aroma of tea, and exquisite snacks were laid out on the tables.

Feng Bailong personally accompanied him.

Because he felt that the next thing to discuss was a major matter concerning the sect, he did not ask the sect elders to stay.

There are now only five people in the council chamber.

Ning Rongrong sat next to Gu Yuena, sipping her tea.

She didn't sit idle during her visit; she did a lot of things.

Such as investigating who the elder is, and where the treasure chests within the Wind Sword Sect are located.

Thanks to Gu Yuena's deliberate cover, the search was much faster this time compared to that of the Elephant Armor Sect.

She also successfully retrieved a Holy Soul Coin from the treasure chest.

There are now nine in total, and one more is needed to achieve the Holy God's goal.

The treasure chests yielded decent results, but the elder status was a disappointment.

Although she had a premonition that the Sixth Elder was Feng Bailong, the sect leader of the Wind Sword Sect, she still wanted to know what was wrong with the Wind Sword Sect.

But all the people she came into contact with had normal expressions, stable soul power, and no suspicious energy fluctuations or artifact auras on their bodies. They were as clean as if they had just taken a bath.

Even if someone "accidentally" cuts themselves, it's a normal human reaction.

Chapter 142 The Mainland is Over

"They hid it so well!"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but think to herself as she recalled the disciples' normal behavior.

"Could it be that the elder didn't do anything at the Wind Sword Sect? Or does the treasure, besides its description, also have the function of completely concealing one's aura?"

She thought to herself, then secretly glanced at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena sat motionless, staring intently at Feng Bailong.

Clearly, Feng Bailong is the problem, and it's most likely that elder.

"Is it him?"

Ning Rongrong confirmed in a low voice.

Gu Yuena nodded, and also indicated that Ning Rongrong could speak her mind directly, as others would generally not hear her with her there.

"Hmm. Your Highness, although I have my suspicions, I haven't seen any signs of infiltration by the Holy Spirit Cult on the Wind Sword Sect disciples. You know, in the Elephant Armor Sect, almost every disciple has purple blood flowing through their veins."

With Gu Yuena's guarantee, Ning Rongrong looked at the three people chatting happily and relaxed.

Gu Yuena explained:

“The phenomena of the Holy Spirit Cult’s infiltration are often closely related to the characteristics of the treasures held by its elders. Hu Yanzhen possesses the Purple Medicine, and his actions have spread throughout the entire Elephant Armor Sect, so it is quite obvious.”

"The Wind Sword Sect's Eye of Truth almost certainly means that only that elder in the Wind Sword Sect has a major problem; the rest, at most, a few test subjects, will have problems."

"Moreover, the scale of this elder's experiment may be very small."

"In other words, there are probably very few people with problems in the Wind Sword Sect. The fact that you didn't see them might just be a coincidence."

Ning Rongrong nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

He then continued to try to recall the unusual aspects of the Wind Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, no.

The Wind Sword Sect is more like the Black Tiger Sect; it is "innocent."

The discussion in the council hall was still ongoing, but judging from Ning Fengzhi's expression, Ning Rongrong realized that the discussion probably wouldn't last long.

If it cannot be confirmed that there is a problem with the Wind Sword Sect—

Then we can only err on the side of caution and kill a thousand innocent people rather than let one guilty person go free.
