Chapter 45 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Clear Sky Clan
"What? Ning Fengzhi is dead?"
Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, her heart filled with shock.
This news was completely beyond her expectations.
As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, Ning Fengzhi held a noble status and was always protected by powerful Title Douluo-level experts.
It would be extremely difficult to harm him.
In fact, Ning Fengzhi had always been one of the Spirit Hall's key targets.
If the Spirit Hall wanted to achieve its grand ambitions, the three upper sects and the two great empires were obstacles that had to be eliminated.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had close ties with the Heaven Dou Empire, making it inconvenient for the Spirit Hall to openly take action against it.
With two Title Douluo, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, protecting Ning Fengzhi, an assassination attempt was even more difficult.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was a level 96 Title Douluo, and his Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul was hailed as the most powerful Martial Soul in the world.
With Ning Fengzhi's assistance, even if the Spirit Hall sent two Title Douluos, Yue Guan and Gui Mei,
they might not have an advantage against the combination of Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall's assassination plan against Ning Fengzhi had been shelved.
However, unexpectedly, someone has now completed this troublesome task for the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened, and she asked in a cold tone, "Who exactly did this?"
The Spirit Hall deacon, prostrate on the ground, hurriedly replied,
"Reporting to Your Holiness, our spies planted in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have sent word that Sword Douluo Chen Xin has had both arms severed, and Ning Fengzhi's death was revealed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's eldest daughter, Ning Rongrong."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong frowned slightly, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Sword Douluo had both arms severed? Who could possibly possess such power?"
The Spirit Hall deacon shook his head. "The exact culprit is still unclear. However, according to our scouts, Sword Douluo returned from the direction of the Barak Kingdom."
"The Barak Kingdom..."
Bibi Dong murmured softly. She seemed to have heard of this small kingdom recently.
The Barak Kingdom?
I remember the Spirit Hall branch master once reported that Tang Hao appeared there.
However, he was no match for that powerful figure from Shrek Academy, Lan Minghua.
And Yue Guan and Gui Mei were recently 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.
"It seems that the person who killed Ning Fengzhi is most likely Lan Minghua."
She had originally planned to use the excuse of avenging Yue Guan and Gui Mei to openly attack Lan Minghua.
Now, Ning Fengzhi's death would undoubtedly cause a shock to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire.
If the three upper sects are truly united, they will not stand idly by.
If they do nothing and only mind their own business, it proves that the relationship between the three upper sects is not as good as rumored.
This is definitely good news for the Spirit Hall.
If they are truly united, then they must find a way to deal with Lan Minghua.
Is Lan Minghua strong?
Strong, very strong, extremely strong.
Even Tang Hao, Yue Guan Gui Mei, and Sword Douluo are no match for him.
The price the three upper 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 reap the benefits.
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, then coldly gave the order.
"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 the Heaven Dou Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan know."
The Spirit Hall deacon, feeling as if granted a pardon, respectfully accepted the order: "Yes, Your Holiness!" He immediately left the hall, not wanting to stay a second longer.
Soon, news of Ning Fengzhi's death, fueled by the Spirit Hall, spread like wildfire across the continent.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, in Heaven Dou City, at the imperial palace,
a figure suddenly burst in, running frantically forward.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Sect Master Ning... he's dead!"
Emperor Xue Ye, who was reviewing memorials, trembled upon hearing this, his vermilion brush splattering ink on the paper.
He looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? Sect Master Ning was protected by Sword Douluo; who could kill him?"
The newcomer trembled, "Your Majesty, this is news from the Spirit Hall; it's absolutely accurate."
Hearing that the news came from the Spirit Hall, Emperor Xue Ye was struck dumb.
"Could it be... could it be that the Spirit Hall killed Sect Master Ning?!"
As the king of the Heaven Dou Empire, how could Emperor Xue Ye not know the Spirit Hall's ambitions?
Even without Emperor Xue Ye's name, some observant people could have guessed.
The clues were evident in the lower-level Soul Hunting Forests.
Although they belonged to the empire, commoners needed a warrant from the Spirit Hall to enter.
In the original story, Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang whether the Soul Hunting Forests belonged to the Spirit Hall or the nation.
Yu Xiaogang didn't answer, and even told Tang San not to discuss it outside.
This revealed the Spirit Hall's considerable ambition.
This not only allowed them to register the information of commoner Soul Masters but also won them over.
Add to that the Spirit Hall's free awakening of Martial Souls for children from commoner families, and
all signs pointed to the Spirit Hall's significant ambition.
If they didn't truly have the ambition to dominate the continent, what would be the point of the Spirit Hall doing all this?
Emperor Xue Ye's face darkened. He ordered, "Notify the Crown Prince to accompany me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, Sect Master Ning is his master."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe also received news of Ning Fengzhi's death.
However, his face showed no sadness, only confusion.
"The Spirit Hall has sent word that that old fox Ning Fengzhi is dead? Could it be that crazy woman's doing?!"
Just then, a voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, His Majesty requests your condolences and invites you to accompany him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Xue Qinghe immediately replied in a sorrowful tone, "Understood. Tell His Majesty I'll be there immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness, I 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."
With that, he feigned sorrow and left, heading to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with Emperor Xue Ye.
Meanwhile, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and even the reclusive Clear Sky Clan received news of Ning Fengzhi's death.
Since the news came from the Spirit Hall, they naturally assumed the Spirit Hall had murdered Ning Fengzhi.
However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan made no comment. What did the death of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader have to do with them?
The Clear Sky Sect was divided into two camps on this matter.
One camp believed that the three upper sects were closely allied, and if the Spirit Hall dared to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School today, it would dare to attack the Clear Sky Sect tomorrow.
The other camp believed that the Clear Sky Sect was forced into seclusion when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't come to its aid, and now that their sect leader was dead, what did it have to do with the Clear Sky Sect?
Tang Xiao listened to the elders' argument with great helplessness.
Just as he was about to speak up to persuade them, several Clear Sky Sect disciples brought back a cripple with one leg and one arm missing.
"Sect Leader, we found a cripple with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul while we were training outside. We've brought him back now to await your judgment."
