Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 170: Driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf
Faced with Zhao Mu's blatant threat, Ning Fengzhi could only keep forcing a smile.

"No, no, Mr. Zhao Mu, what are you saying! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has never intended to be an enemy of Mr. Zhao Mu. This matter is just a misunderstanding!"

Ning Rongrong looked at Zhao Mu, feeling somewhat indignant. Just as she was about to say something after regaining her composure, Ning Fengzhi noticed her in advance and gave her a warning look.

That was a stern look that Ning Rongrong had never seen before.

Since she showed outstanding talent as a child, Ning Rongrong has been pampered by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo. She has never seen Ning Fengzhi get angry at her, let alone seen the look in his eyes.

Zhao Mu didn't say anything more and left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with Zhu Zhuqing.

With Zhao Mu's current strength, no one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can stop him.

After Zhao Mu left with Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Fengzhi approached Sword Douluo and asked with concern, "Uncle Sword, what about your injury?"

Sword Douluo shook his head slightly, his expression somewhat forlorn: "I'm sorry, Feng Zhi, I've caused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to suffer enormous losses."

Ning Fengzhi, however, appeared indifferent to this. Perhaps it was a matter of manipulating people's hearts, or perhaps it was a genuine expression of emotion. At least the words that came out of Ning Fengzhi's mouth were so pleasant to hear.

"Uncle Jian, it's good that you're alright. Compared to you, these losses are nothing."

"Feng Zhi, I may need to go into seclusion for a while. I'll leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to you and Old Bones for the time being."

Sword Douluo sighed softly, and without waiting for Ning Fengzhi's reply, he dragged the broken Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul towards the secluded cultivation place in the back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Dad, are we just going to let Zhao Mu bully us like this? Is there really nothing we can do about Zhao Mu, even though we are the mighty Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" As Zhao Mu left, Ning Fengzhi's expression softened, and Ning Rongrong finally had the courage to jump out again.

Ning Rongrong's ability to act like a spoiled young lady stems from the fact that she truly possesses the aura of a spoiled young lady.

For Zhao Mu to trample the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School underfoot would be to tarnish his own glory.

A change in social status is not something everyone can accept.

Ning Fengzhi ignored Ning Rongrong this time and fell into deep thought, perhaps considering a way to break the deadlock.

Bone Douluo also spoke up.

"Fengzhi, what should we do next? We have lost the ability to restrain Zhao Mu. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School alone can no longer stand against Zhao Mu. Does our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really have to depend on others for survival?"

Seeing his old friend injured and dejected, Bone Douluo felt quite distressed. Moreover, given Bone Douluo's personality, he was not the type to swallow his anger.

As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi naturally had to consider the fate of the school; he couldn't bring himself to entrust his destiny to others.

He couldn't possibly place the safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on Zhao Mu's mood.

However, he also couldn't ignore Zhao Mu's warning, since they already had some understanding of Zhao Mu's strength.

Just as Zhao Mu said, if they cannot kill Zhao Mu in one blow, then Zhao Mu's revenge might be the calamity of destroying the sect that he mentioned.

Wait a minute, he seemed to have said something like, "I wouldn't mind if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed ahead of schedule." Why did he use the word "ahead of schedule"?
Ning Fengzhi couldn't understand it.

However, this did not affect Ning Fengzhi's decision.

“Uncle Gu, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been established for many years and has experienced countless crises. Even in the most dangerous situations, we have survived. This time will be no different. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will never be destroyed, nor will it depend on others for survival!”

Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo's dark eyes lit up: "Feng Zhi, are you planning to attack Zhao Mu again?"

Ning Rongrong, who also wanted to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to suppress Zhao Mu, looked at Ning Fengzhi upon hearing her father's words.

However, what Bone Douluo and Ning Rongrong saw was Ning Fengzhi shaking his head.

"Fengzhi, so what you mean is..."

Having just stated that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does not depend on others for survival, and then Ning Fengzhi indicating that he does not intend to attack Zhao Mu, Bone Douluo and Ning Rongrong really do not know what Ning Fengzhi means.

Ning Fengzhi then spoke calmly: "Uncle Gu, with the strength of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School alone, it is no longer enough to fight against Zhao Mu. Knowing that we are no match, we still want to cause trouble for Zhao Mu. Then what awaits our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is probably annihilation."

Ning Fengzhi didn't believe that Zhao Mu's final warning was just empty talk; he thought the other party truly had the strength and ambition to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"So you mean to unite with other forces?" Bone Douluo replied, "Given the secrets Zhao Mu possesses, I believe many forces would be tempted. People die for wealth, birds die for food. The secret of a 100,000-year soul ring is something that not only many forces, but also some old monsters with titled strength would probably lower themselves to take action against Zhao Mu."

However, Bone Douluo saw Ning Fengzhi shake his head again.

“Uncle Gu, dealing with Zhao Mu cannot be done by my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School alone, and at the same time, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot take the lead in this matter.”

“Right now, the only one with a rift with Zhao Mu is our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Could it be that Zhao Mu has offended other forces?” Bone Douluo frowned.

Ning Fengzhi said, "Uncle Gu, there doesn't necessarily have to be a grudge to take action against Zhao Mu. Just like you said, people die for wealth and birds die for food. The secrets Zhao Mu has are enough to attract the attention of many forces. However, in addition to that, Zhao Mu's strength will also arouse the fear of some forces. They don't want to see anything that breaks the balance and gets out of their control."

"Fengzhi, you're right."

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly: "Uncle Gu, after the Soul Master Competition, hasn't Salas from the Spirit Hall been trying to find out about Zhao Mu? Then we can secretly pass on Zhao Mu's information to him."

"Whether it's the secret of the 100,000-year spirit ring or Zhao Mu himself, I don't think the Spirit Hall will choose to remain indifferent."

"Moreover, the Spirit Hall is no pushover either. In recent years, the Spirit Hall's ambitions have gradually expanded, and its relationship with the Empire has become increasingly delicate. I think it will not allow any entity to escape its control."

"Let the Spirit Hall and Zhao Mu face off, and no matter what the final outcome is, it will be most beneficial to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

If the Spirit Hall wins and successfully eliminates the threat posed by Zhao Mu, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's status will remain the same as before.

If the Spirit Hall were to be defeated by Zhao Mu, and with the Spirit Hall severely weakened, not only would the delicate relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Empire be dissolved, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was cooperating with the Heaven Dou Empire, might actually surpass the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and firmly hold the title of the number one sect in the world, provided that Haotian does not intervene!

This is a scheme to use one tiger to devour another!
