Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Haotian Clan

Chapter 45 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Haotian Clan

"What? Ning Fengzhi is dead?"

Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in her heart.

This news was completely beyond her expectations.

Ning Fengzhi, as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, has a noble status and is always protected by powerful experts at the Title Douluo level.

It would be extremely difficult to take action against him.

In fact, Ning Fengzhi has always been one of the Spirit Hall's key targets.

If the Spirit Hall wants to realize its grand ambitions, the three upper sects and the two great empires are obstacles that must be eliminated.

However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has close ties with the Heaven Dou Empire, making it inconvenient for the Spirit Hall to take open action against it.

With two Title Douluo, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, protecting Ning Fengzhi, the assassination attempt became even more difficult.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin is a level 96 Title Douluo, and his martial soul, the Seven Kill Sword, is hailed as the martial soul with the strongest attack power in the world.

With Ning Fengzhi's assistance, even though the Spirit Hall sent out two Title Douluos, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, they were still defeated.

Even against the combination of Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, they might not necessarily gain the upper hand.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall's assassination plan against Ning Fengzhi has been shelved.

However, unexpectedly, someone has now completed this tricky task for the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened, and she asked in a cold tone, "Who exactly did this?"

The Spirit Hall steward, prostrate on the ground, hurriedly replied.

"Your Holiness, our spies in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have reported that Sword Douluo Chen Xin has had both arms severed, and the death of Ning Fengzhi was confirmed by Ning Rongrong, the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Sword Douluo had both arms severed? Who on earth possesses such power?"

The Spirit Hall deacon shook his head and said, "The specific culprit is still unclear. However, according to our scouts, Sword Douluo returned from the direction of the Barak Kingdom."

"The Kingdom of Barak..."

Bibi Dong murmured softly, as if she had heard about this small kingdom recently.

The Kingdom of Barak?

I remember the head of the Spirit Hall branch reported that Tang Hao appeared there.

However, he was no match for Lan Minghua, a powerful figure from Shrek Academy.

Not long ago, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were severely injured by Lan Minghua in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Judging by the time, he should be back at Shrek Academy by now.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and she already had her answer in her heart.

"It seems that the person who killed Ning Fengzhi is most likely Lan Minghua."

She originally planned to use the excuse of avenging Yue Guan and Gui Mei to openly and legitimately take action against Lan Minghua.

Ning Fengzhi's death will undoubtedly cause a shock to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire.

If the three sects are truly of one mind, they will certainly not stand idly by.

If they do nothing and only mind their own business, then it proves that the relationship between the three sects is not as good as rumored.

This is definitely good news for the Spirit Hall.

If they are truly in cahoots, then we must find a way to deal with Lan Minghua.

Is it Lan Minghuaqiang?

Strong, very strong, extremely strong.

Even Tang Hao, Yue Guan Gui Mei, and Sword Douluo were no match for him.

The price the three sects would have to pay to deal with such a powerful enemy is unimaginable.

The Spirit Hall might be able to take this opportunity to watch from the sidelines and ultimately reap the benefits.

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, then gave the order in a cold voice.

"Pass down the order to closely monitor the movements of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire. Also, I need to know everything that has happened at Shrek Academy these past few days!"

Suddenly she thought of something and continued to give instructions.

"Spread the news of Ning Fengzhi's death. Make sure that the people of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan know about it."

The Spirit Hall deacon, feeling as if granted a pardon, respectfully accepted the order: "Yes, Your Holiness!"

He immediately left the main hall, not wanting to stay there for even a second longer.

Soon, news of Ning Fengzhi's death spread like wildfire across the continent, fueled by the Spirit Hall.

The Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City, Imperial Palace.

A figure suddenly burst in, running forward in a panic.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Sect Leader Ning... he's dead!"

Emperor Xueye, who was reviewing memorials, trembled violently upon hearing these words, and the ink on his vermilion brush splattered across the Xuan paper.

He quickly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? Sect Leader Ning is protected by Sword Douluo, who could possibly kill him?"

The man said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this is a message from the Spirit Hall, absolutely accurate."

Upon hearing that the news came from the Spirit Hall, Emperor Xueye was struck dumb.

"Could it be...could it be that the Spirit Hall killed Sect Master Ning?!"

The latest novel is first published here!

As the king of the Heaven Dou Empire, how could Emperor Xueye not know the ambitions of the Spirit Hall?

Even if it weren't for the fact that it was the Snow Night Emperor, some observant people could have guessed it.

You can actually see some clues from those low-level Soul Hunting Forests.

It is clearly the Soul Hunting Forest of the Empire, but ordinary people must obtain a warrant from the Spirit Hall to enter and hunt souls.

In the original novel, Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang whether the Soul Hunting Forest belonged to the Spirit Hall or the country.

Yu Xiaogang did not answer the question, and even told Tang San not to discuss it outside.

This shows that the Spirit Hall has considerable ambitions.

This not only allows us to register the information of commoner soul masters, but also helps us win their hearts.

In addition, the Spirit Hall provides free Spirit Awakening for children from commoner families.

All signs indicate that the Spirit Hall harbors considerable ambitions.

If they truly have no ambition to dominate the continent, then what is the point of the Spirit Hall doing all these things?

Emperor Xueye's face was grim. He ordered, "Inform the Crown Prince to accompany me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, Sect Master Ning is his master."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On the other side, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe also received news of Ning Fengzhi's death.

However, his face showed no sadness, but rather confusion.

"News has spread from the Spirit Hall that old fox Ning Fengzhi is dead? Could it be that crazy woman's doing?!"

As he was thinking, he heard a sound outside.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has asked you to accept our condolences and has invited you to accompany him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Xue Qinghe immediately replied in a sorrowful tone, "I understand. Tell His Majesty I will be there soon."

"Yes, Your Highness, I shall take my leave."

After the person left, Xue Qinghe reverted to his cold demeanor: "Crazy woman, I hope you don't ruin the Spirit Hall's grand plan, otherwise I won't let you off the hook."

After saying that, he put on a sad expression and walked out, heading to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with Emperor Xueye.

At the same time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and even the reclusive Haotian Clan received news of Ning Fengzhi's death.

The news came from the Spirit Hall, so they naturally assumed that the Spirit Hall had killed Ning Fengzhi.

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan made no statement. What does the death of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's sect leader have to do with them?

The Haotian Sect, on the other hand, split into two camps on this matter.

One faction believes that the three upper sects are closely connected, and if the Spirit Hall dares to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School today, it will dare to attack the Clear Sky School tomorrow.

The other camp believes that the Haotian Sect was forced into seclusion back then, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not come to its aid. Now that their sect leader is dead, what does it have to do with the Haotian Sect?

Tang Xiao listened to the elders arguing and felt utterly helpless.

Just as he was about to speak up to persuade him, several disciples of the Haotian Sect brought back a cripple who had lost a leg and an arm.

"Sect Master, we found a cripple with the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul while we were training outside. We've brought him back now, awaiting your judgment."
