Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

Ning Dingling asked, "Why?"

“Sister, do you still know Ning Xuanfeng? She has a son named Ning Qingyu,” Ning Fengzhi asked.

“Ning Xuanfeng, the only son of the Sixth Elder and Russell, I remember him. Someone even suggested that he be the sect leader back then,” Ning Dingling said.

“That’s right. Ning Xuanfeng has been away for a year and hasn’t returned. I suspect it’s because of him, because from the intelligence I have, Russell seems to have been threatened, which is why he has repeatedly passed on intelligence.”

"Russell was an orphan. She had no ties outside. The only threat to her was her only son who was away from home."

"Of course, this is just one of the analyses I got from the intelligence. Another possibility is that someone wants to remove you from your position as sect leader. There are already rumors in the sect that your poor leadership has caused heavy losses to the sect. So, sister, we must deal with this matter as soon as possible and not delay it."

"Fengzhi, then tell me, how should we handle this?" Ning Dingling asked.

Ning Fengzhi said, "Sister, the sixth and fifth elders of the sect jointly manage the route planning of the sect's caravans, so they have a clear understanding of the personnel and supplies of each caravan."

"That's why I announced that the sect will be shipping out a large batch of supplies in two days."

"I think we can turn the tables on them and set a trap to make Senior Seven Kill Douluo take action."

Ning Dingling nodded after listening, agreeing with Ning Fengzhi's proposed method.

"Star, what do you think?"

Seeing that Ning Xingchen had been listening, Ning Dingling wanted to ask Ning Xingchen what he thought.

Now she understands that although her younger brother Ning Xingchen is not yet seven years old, his intelligence is unmatched by some seventeen-year-olds.

Ning Xingchen said, "Brother's idea is very good, I agree, but it would be best to make it more convincing."

“Sword Uncle and Bone Uncle must be in the sect. Only Senior Seven Kill Douluo can take action. If Sword Uncle and Bone Uncle are not in the sect, the other party may not dare to make a move rashly.”

After listening, Ning Dingling thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it this way and turn the tables on them."

……

Two days later, a merchant caravan from the sect set off, its size and the amount of supplies were enormous.

The goods carried by this caravan are equivalent to those carried three to four times in the past.

On the surface, the caravan had a Soul Douluo in charge, five Soul Saints as assistants, more than forty Soul Masters, and some ordinary people transporting goods. Seven Kill Douluo Chen Jianjun was mixed in with the caravan.

It was made to be as real as it could possibly be; even the supplies were genuine, not a single one was fake.

If the other party's goal is robbery, then this temptation will definitely make people take the risk, after all, the value of the supplies this time exceeds five million gold soul coins.

As for Ning Xingchen, he couldn't participate in this kind of battle, so he has now resumed his cultivation time in the sect.

Unlike before, Ning Dingling would tell him some information about the sect every day.

The funniest thing is that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Clan sent messages back.

Both sects are willing to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School overcome its difficulties.

We can provide manpower, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must provide financial support.

The cost for a Soul Douluo is 500,000 gold soul coins per month, for a Soul Saint it's 200,000 gold soul coins, and for a Soul Emperor it's 100,000 gold soul coins.

In the event of injury or death, the compensation will continue as usual during the recovery period, and in the event of death, a six-month pension must be paid.

Ning Dingling responded to both the Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Tell them to be ready at any time, and to notify them if needed.

Notice?

Notification my ass!

This isn't helping; it's practically taking advantage of someone's misfortune, or rather, they simply don't want to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and wish for its demise.

Let them wait until the end of time!

Ning Dingling, Ning Fengzhi, and even Ning Xingchen also saw the true colors of these two major sects.

How could it be that the three upper sects are of the same lineage?

Otherwise, the Spirit Hall's attack in the novel wouldn't have been so easy.

……

Six days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Jianjun and the disguised caravan members have returned.

Ning Fengzhi's plan succeeded, and he also caught the real culprit who attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's merchant caravan.

Coincidentally, the leader of the team that attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was actually an 87th-level Soul Douluo from the Clear Sky School.

His name was Tang Zhen, and he was of the same generation as the sect leader of Haotian Sect.

Led by Tang Zhen, his team also included three Soul Douluos and more than twenty Soul Saints.

Chen Jianjun killed all the others, leaving none alive.

However, the fact that Tang Zhen, who was left behind, had captured the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a bit troublesome, putting Ning Dingling in a dilemma.

If we really kill them, we'll offend the Haotian Sect.

If we don't kill them, what will happen to the wronged souls of those who died in the sect?

What's even more ridiculous is that no sooner had Tang Zhen been captured than people from the Haotian Sect arrived.

The Haotian Sect demanded that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School release the person immediately, and even made threats.

However, the fact that the Haotian Sect came to the sect to demand people so quickly inevitably raises suspicions that the attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's caravan was carried out by people from the Haotian Sect.

After all, it would be difficult for the Haotian Sect to support such a large sect with its earning power, and perhaps that was the motive.

Chapter 19: War with the Haotian Sect?

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Palace, Tang Zhen, a level 87 Soul Douluo, was bound hand and foot and thrown to the ground.

"The Haotian Sect must know it was him who did it, otherwise why would they come to demand the person so quickly and even dare to threaten my sect?" Ning Dingling said angrily.

"So what if it's the Haotian Sect?" Ning Fengzhi said confidently.

In terms of the number of Soul Masters, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not much worse than the Clear Sky School. The key is that it also has three Title Douluos, and even has a super high-end combat power like Chen Jianjun.

“That’s right. Since he dares to threaten us, let him come. Our sect can use the Clear Sky Sect as a stepping stone to establish its authority,” Sword Douluo said calmly.

The Clear Sky Sect currently only has one Title Douluo, who is also the current sect leader, Tang Wei, whose soul power is level 95, not even a peak Douluo.

Ning Dingling looked at Chen Jianjun, the strongest member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and she would need to see his opinion on what to do.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jianjun immediately said, "Everyone says that the Haotian Sect's weapon spirit is the number one in the world, and my Seven Kill Sword can only be ranked second. This is a good opportunity to let the soul master world know that my Seven Kill Sword is the number one."

This is absolutely a perfect opportunity to prove the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, and Chen Jianjun is happy to see it.

This time, the sect cannot compromise any longer.

Not only should they refuse to release the people, but the Haotian Sect should also pay an even heavier price.

It should be noted that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has suffered more than 300 deaths and lost nearly 10 million gold soul coins in numerous attacks.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Tang Zhen, who was lying on the ground, laughed loudly.

"You still want to challenge my Haotian Sect? That's just wishful thinking."

"The sect leader will definitely lead his men to raze the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the ground. If you have anyone to blame, blame your sect for being too rich," Tang Zhen said.

Making money is extremely difficult in the Haotian Sect, and even in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

The Haotian Sect's way of making money is very simple; to put it bluntly, it's casting.

Even with the best forging technology, the output of a single forging can only be so large. The gold soul coins earned are just enough to maintain the normal operation of the sect. If the sect wants to provide better cultivation resources for its disciples, it must find another way.

That's why a team led by Tang Zhen was formed specifically to intercept and kill the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's merchant caravans.

He was the only direct disciple of the Haotian Sect in the entire caravan, and he mainly directed operations from the shadows.

If they make a move, they send other Soul Masters; even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School won't be able to trace it back to the Clear Sky School.

However, this time the opponent was too strong, and he was unwilling to see his brothers with whom he usually got along die, so he disobeyed the sect leader Tang Wei's order to take action.

It was because of Tang Zhen's intervention that Ning Dingling learned that the mastermind behind all of this was actually the Haotian Sect.

"Believe it or not, we'll kill you right now!" Ning Dingling said coldly.

"Kill me if you dare!" Tang Zhen shouted.

Ning Dingling really wanted to order Tang Zhen to be killed, but Tang Zhen was not afraid at all.

Tang Zhen wants to kill, but not now.

Just then, a sword flashed, and with a scream, Tang Zhen's arm fell off.

"Still talking tough even when you're about to die," said Sword Douluo.

Anyway, Tang Zhen was going to be killed sooner or later, so Ning Dingling didn't blame Sword Douluo.

"Give the order that all disciples of the sect enter a state of combat readiness, and all disciples outside the sect should also prepare for war."

“Someone, hand this arm over to the envoy of the Haotian Sect. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect are irreconcilable enemies,” Ning Dingling said.

"metropolitan……"

"Reporting to the sect leader, our men went to capture the Sixth Elder's wife, Russell, but we were too late; Russell had already committed suicide."

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly man who looked to be in his seventies entered through the inner door of the main hall and said, "Sect Master, I am guilty, please punish me."

Ning Dingling asked, "Sixth Elder, are you aware of Russell's betrayal of the sect?"

The Sixth Elder said, "I just learned that Russell has caused such huge losses to the sect. Her crime is unforgivable. I failed to supervise her properly and request to be removed from my position as elder."

"Sixth Elder, I will find out whether you were involved or not. As for your position as elder, you can step down."

"Guards, imprison all disciples of the Sixth Elder's lineage until the matter is resolved."

"Sixth Elder, whether you were involved or not, and what crime you should be charged with, will be handled according to the sect's rules."

"Sect Master, you are wise to see the truth. We are willing to cooperate." After saying this, the Sixth Elder bowed and was then led away.

At this moment, Ning Xingchen was still cultivating his soul power at home, but for some reason, he was always restless during his cultivation today.

Could something have happened to the sect?
