As soon as Zhu Zhuqing appeared, Sword Douluo's massive soul power probed her.
Level 32 soul power, stable aura, no hidden dangers.
Most importantly, Zhu Zhuqing didn't have the aura unique to soul beasts; she was a person, a completely human being.
Sword Douluo transmitted his voice to Ning Fengzhi: "Fengzhi, this isn't a soul beast, it's a person."
Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Sword Douluo, who nodded again in confirmation.
Not a soul beast after all?
"Dad, Grandpa Sword, hurry up and make your move!"
Ning Rongrong whispered from behind.
"What? You're here to arrest me?"
"Ning Rongrong, I haven't offended you, have I? You actually sent your father to arrest me, hehe, that's disgusting."
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't going to tolerate that and directly questioned her back.
Although Ning Rongrong's voice was very soft, Zhu Zhuqing, who had moved closer, still heard it.
Ning Rongrong's face turned deathly pale: "You...you...you're not human!"
"Rongrong, what nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to Zhu Zhuqing right now!"
Ning Fengzhi
immediately reprimanded her. Upon hearing this, even if Ning Rongrong was stupid, she knew she had made a mistake. Zhu Zhuqing wasn't a transformed soul beast, otherwise Grandpa Sword would have already taken action.
But how could a dignified little fairy think she was wrong?
Ning Rongrong argued, "But, but...she clearly absorbed her third soul ring without hunting a soul beast!!"
Gritting her teeth, Ning Rongrong recounted what she had seen that night, down to the smallest detail, even depicting the ferocious and painful expression on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
"Zhu Zhuqing, is what Ning Rongrong said true?"
Yu Xiaogang immediately became interested. Absorbing a soul ring without a soul beast? This was a major discovery! If she mastered this method, wouldn't the opportunity to become famous and slap someone in the face be far away?
Yu Xiaogang questioned Zhu Zhuqing, whose presence was so insignificant that she hadn't even caught his attention. The only thing worth noting was her ability to complete a spirit fusion technique with Dai Mubai.
Talent was poor; besides being hardworking and pretty, she had nothing else.
Yu Xiaogang looked down on such talent; if it weren't for her ability to complete the spirit fusion technique with Dai Mubai, he wouldn't have given her a second glance.
"What's it to you?" Zhu Zhuqing coldly stared at the crowd before her, her eyes filled with chilling intent!
Even though she had long seen through these people, seeing it happening in front of her still chilled her to the bone. But thinking about it, it made sense; they had only known each other for a short time.
Even married couples would abandon each other in times of trouble, let alone these strangers who had only known each other for a short period.
Not killing her outright was already a great favor.
"If she's not a soul beast, how can she obtain a soul ring without hunting one?"
"Hmph, don't be fooled by her, I saw it clearly."
Ning Rongrong said again, revealing her guess.
"Hmph, Senior Sword Douluo, do you also think so?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Sword Douluo, her eyes cold, and met their gaze...
"Ahem, Zhuqing, we didn't mean anything by it. Don't take Rongrong's words to heart, she's wrong. We know you're not a soul beast in human form, so can you tell me why you can condense a soul ring out of thin air?"
Ning Fengzhi's smile was warm, and with one sentence, he absolved Ning Rongrong of responsibility, instead steer the conversation to another matter.
To condense a soul ring without relying on a soul beast—if his sect mastered this method, they could make a fortune from it, not to mention that the significance of this method went beyond just making money.
If they mastered it, wouldn't a 100,000-year soul ring be a piece of cake if they wanted to?
Ning Fengzhi became increasingly eager, and he was certain that Zhu Zhuqing knew this method.
If necessary, we might have to resort to force.
"Ning Fengzhi, who became the sect leader, must be a good person? Hah, don't be ridiculous. Which sect leader doesn't have blood on their hands? A good person? There are no good people in this world, only conspiracies for mutual benefit!
" Zhu Zhuqing was startled. This Ning Fengzhi was truly not someone to be trifled with. With just a few words, he had shifted the blame back to her: "Hah, Sect Leader Ning, you've certainly made a good plan."
"First your daughter slandered me, and now you're forcing me."
"Truly the demeanor of a great sect."
Zhu Zhuqing's words were full of sarcasm as she looked at Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo with disdain.
"Insolence!"
Sword Douluo snorted coldly, his terrifying soul power pressing down on Zhu Zhuqing, who collapsed to the ground.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Zhu Zhuqing looked resolutely at Sword Douluo: "Hah, Ning Fengzhi, if you want to tear Ning Rongrong's mouth apart, slap her twice."
"I wouldn't mind telling you."
Biting her lip, Zhu Zhuqing sneered, her face full of mockery.
"Ning Fengzhi, I don't need to elaborate on the value of this method,"
Zhu Zhuqing spoke again.
Flander and Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, showed no interest whatsoever, simply watching, knowing they would find out soon enough.
"Fengzhi, don't believe her nonsense!"
Sword Douluo sneered. If Zhu Zhuqing dared to do anything, he would intervene directly, even if it meant losing the secret, to
ensure Ning Rongrong's safety. Ning Fengzhi was still weighing the pros and cons; he wanted both Zhu Zhuqing's secret and his beloved daughter.
"Hehe, Zhuqing, if you tell me, I, on behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, invite you to join us, allowing you to leave the Zhu family and escape the threat of the Star Luo Empire."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Zhu Zhuqing with self-assurance. He already knew who Shrek Academy was; besides Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and his daughter, the others were all commoners.
Zhu Zhuqing's biggest weakness was her fate.
He was confident she would agree.
The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing's words broke his defenses:
"Heh, what a clever scheme, Sect Master Ning! You want it all, but is there such a good thing in the world?"
Zhu Zhuqing slowly stood up, her eyes filled with resentment.
Strength, oh strength, without strength you're nothing, no one will respect you.
Even the Zhu family isn't enough to make Ning Fengzhi wary.
In the end, it's still a matter of lacking strength.
"Ning Fengzhi, don't even think about it. I won't agree to anything except that one condition."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Fengzhi and said, she wasn't worried at all now.
"You..."
"You bitch, you're courting death!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
In an instant, sword intent soared into the sky, a blue-white giant sword roared out, its sword light sharp, slicing through the sky.
The blue-white longsword pointed directly at Zhu Zhuqing, the killing intent contained within the sword pouring out, mercilessly landing on Zhu Zhuqing!
Ning Fengzhi didn't stop it, not even Flander and Yu Xiaogang.
Ning Fengzhi also wanted to teach this stubborn girl a lesson!
