Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 115, Section 132: Ning Fengzhi Remembering the Past

"Old goat, what's wrong with you?" the white crane asked.

Yang Wudi said, "Do you know, I've been searching for the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb for a very long time, and it has finally fallen into my hands."

"What's the use of this? Is it worth going crazy for?" Niu Gao asked in confusion.

"This is a divine product that makes one immune to all poisons! With this, I can confidently and boldly develop medicines without worrying about being harmed by toxins, hahahahaha!" Yang Wudi said.

Niu Gao and Bai He suddenly realized that given Yang Wudi's obsession with pharmacology, it was not surprising that the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb could drive him crazy with such effects.

“We didn’t make the wrong choice, but why is the old gorilla so stubborn?” Bai He shook his head and said, “What’s so good about Tang Hao’s birth?”

Niu Gao could only say, "The old gorilla is a man of his word. Once he has chosen a master, he will never betray him. I hope he won't regret his choice in the future."

The emergence of a reclusive sect, which protected the four single-attribute families that originally belonged to the Clear Sky Sect and repelled the once-powerful Spirit Hall, began to spread to various forces across the continent.

After returning, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo apologized to the Grand Elder, saying, "Grand Elder, this matter was due to our poor handling of the situation."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and said, "It's alright. The emergence of the Body Sect is quite unexpected. Given this unexpected turn of events, your failure is to be expected. Next, you should carefully consider how the Spirit Hall should handle its relationship with them."

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Bibi Dong's soul power level has reached level 90. The task of hunting souls is now entrusted to you."

"As you command, great offering."

The people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not expect that Ning Fengzhi would bring the funeral back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School simply because he had attended a funeral at the Haotian School.

Kuang Xi and Man Niu, the two previous generation of guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, were nearing their end, but they met a terrible death.

Following the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also hung up white silk ribbons.

After returning from the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi's condition became somewhat abnormal. His eye sockets were sunken, surrounded by dark circles, and he appeared listless. His hair also became thinner, indicating that he had lost a lot of hair during his time back.

At the funeral—

Ning Fengzhi knelt before the coffins of the two Guardian Douluo and wept bitterly: "Grandpa Kuangxi, Grandpa Manniu, it was Fengzhi who harmed you. Fengzhi will definitely avenge you."

After the two guardian Douluo were buried, Gu Rong couldn't help but speak:

“Fengzhi, I’m not blaming you, but why should we make trouble for ourselves when the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect are fighting? This is their business, not my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s business.” Ning Fengzhi said with a gloomy face, “The Clear Sky Sect has been declining since the Tang Chen era, while the Spirit Hall is still at its zenith. The balance of the continent will be changed. Now the Spirit Hall is using the mere excuse of Tang Hao to try to take advantage of the situation and destroy the Clear Sky Sect, one of the three upper sects. Once the Clear Sky Sect is destroyed, how will we, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, survive? If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. How can I see the Clear Sky Sect perish at the hands of the Spirit Hall?”

After saying that, he came to the window of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, carrying two Title Douluos on his back, and said, "Only when our three upper sects and two great empires are of one mind and united can we curb the ever-expanding ambitions of the Spirit Hall."

"But, considering that the Spirit Hall mobilized three Grand Elders at that time, whether you jumped out or not didn't change the fate of the Clear Sky Sect. On the contrary," Chen Xin didn't say the last sentence, fearing it would provoke Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi, carrying Chen Xin and Gu Rong on his back, said with a ferocious expression, "How could I have known that the Spirit Hall would act so directly and decisively? I thought that by bringing up the name of the three upper sects, the Spirit Hall should not have given me any face under normal circumstances. We could have stopped fighting and made peace, and I could have protected the Clear Sky Sect and added a bargaining chip to counterbalance the Spirit Hall in the future. But I didn't expect this."

Strictly speaking, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not suffer significant losses this time. The Savage Bull and the Mad Rhinoceros were already weakened and would perish in a few years.

The real loss is that Ning Fengzhi has completely lost face in this incident.

He thought about how he had his head styled by the Demon-Slaying Douluo in front of everyone, and he remembered his words, which sounded like a father scolding his son: "I gave you a chance, but you're useless."

Thinking about how, in order to survive, he knelt down before the Demon-Slaying Douluo in front of everyone and called him grandpa.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo practically trampled Ning Fengzhi's entire composure, dignity, and pride into the ground, shattering them to pieces.

Thinking of all the humiliations she had suffered, Ning Fengzhi's plump face flushed red.

“No, the Spirit Hall is ambitious. We must unite with all available forces, stand together, and advance and retreat in unison to counterbalance the Spirit Hall,” Ning Fengzhi said, emphasizing the words “stand together” through gritted teeth.

It seems that the humiliation Ning Fengzhi suffered at the Haotian Sect's funeral has caused him to show signs of going mad.

“But,” Chen Xin said, “of the three upper sects, the Clear Sky Sect is almost finished, leaving only us and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. At most, we only have three Title Douluos. How many Title Douluos the Spirit Hall has is still unknown. Even if we truly unite all forces, it is not certain that we can resist the Spirit Hall.”

"Then what should I do? Should my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School defect to the Spirit Hall and surrender with courtesy?" Ning Fengzhi retorted.

“That’s not what I meant,” Chen Xin said. “What I meant was that until we find a good way to restrain the Spirit Hall, we can lie low for now. After all, the first ship to stick its neck out gets wrecked.”

Ning Fengzhi paced back and forth in the hall, clutching his hair, and said as he walked, "In the end, it's all because the Haotian Sect lost Tang Chen."

He reminisced about the era when Tang Chen was in the Clear Sky Sect. Although the Spirit Hall was also very powerful at that time, it was far from being able to dominate all forces. Back then, the Clear Sky Sect united the three upper sects, supported the Star Luo Empire, and stood on equal footing with the Spirit Hall.

Back then, the three sects were closely united, advancing and retreating together. Even the Spirit Hall had to be wary of them. What a wonderful era it was!

Just as Ning Fengzhi was reminiscing about the springtime era when the Clear Sky Sect led the three upper sects to rival the Spirit Hall, an intelligence gatherer from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School entered and said to Ning Fengzhi:
"Sect Master, there's new information: the Body Sect has emerged."
