Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 44 The Scheme of a World Without Thieves

"Boss, is it really okay to just let Ning Rongrong leave like this?!"

Upon hearing this, "No Thieves Under Heaven" chuckled softly: "What, do you intend to kill me to silence me?"

"It's not that bad." The traitor scratched his head sheepishly. "But at least make her swear an oath not to reveal your background, boss. After all, she's from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

His concerns are not without merit.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has close ties with the Heaven Dou Empire and has often caused trouble for the Spirit Hall, making it a potential hostile force.

If war breaks out in the future, those who expose their secrets are likely to be the first to be targeted.

The thieves under heaven thought of this earlier than the treacherous officials, but he still let Ning Rongrong leave without doing anything.

Because he had plans for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is no match for the Spirit Hall, eliminating it is not an easy task. It is better to have an ally than an enemy."

"An ally?" The traitor's eyes widened. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly wealthy and enjoys the deep trust of the Heaven Dou royal family. Why would they side with our Spirit Hall?"

Indeed, as he said, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the richest in the world, almost on par with the Heaven Dou Empire.

If we join the alliance, wouldn't we be inferior to the Spirit Hall?

"There are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests. Just because others don't have interests that entice them doesn't mean I don't."

The World Without Thieves lacked confidence in persuading the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to submit to the Spirit Hall, but an alliance was still possible.

Upon hearing this, the traitor's eyes lit up, realizing that his leader already had a plan.

I simply stopped thinking about it, since having a boss makes things so easy.

There was no explanation from "No Thieves Under Heaven," because Ning Rongrong had already seen and said everything that needed to be said and seen.

As for whether things will develop beyond his expectations, that doesn't matter.

Because he was confident that Ning Fengzhi could personally bring Ning Rongrong back to their team.

No more thieves under the sky stopped thinking about Ning Rongrong and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was hurrying on her way with her head down.

"This is quite a shock to her, but it's also a good opportunity for her. If she seizes the opportunity to join the Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire can't do anything to her. Of course, if she wants to leave, I won't stop her."

Zhu Zhuqing is not particularly important to their team, and their positions actually overlap somewhat.

There's no loss in staying, and leaving is just a matter of finding another teammate.

As for what Zhu Zhuqing would think after learning his identity as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Tianxia Wuzei didn't care.

The journey was silent as we hurried towards Sunset Forest.

Because there was something there that allowed the four brothers to immediately narrow the gap in soul power with the Golden Generation.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, escorted by the cardinal, safely returned to Soto City.

She was taken back by the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as soon as she appeared.

Returning to her familiar home, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong finally felt relieved.

"Rongrong, are you alright?!"

As soon as they returned to the main hall, three figures quickly approached.

"father!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes were red and swollen. Like a frightened fawn, she rushed into Ning Fengzhi's arms, her thin shoulders heaving with each sob.

Ning Fengzhi gently patted her shoulder, his voice soft: "With Daddy here, no one will bully you."

Bone Douluo strode forward and asked, "Rongrong, where have you been these past few days? Why haven't I seen you traveling with the people from Shrek Academy?"

"Shrek?!" Ning Rongrong's lower lip trembled slightly, tears welling up in her eyes and threatening to fall. "They ostracize me and make me do the most basic training all day long! I don't want to stay in an academy like this anymore!"

"What? People from Shrek Academy dare to treat you like this!" Sword Douluo unleashed terrifying soul power, causing the air to buzz.

"They've rebelled!" Black energy erupted from Bone Douluo's body, causing the temperature to drop several degrees. "I'll raze that lousy academy to the ground and avenge Rongrong!"

Ning Fengzhi frowned as well; this was not quite what he had imagined. Because the day after Ning Rongrong joined Shrek Academy, she had someone deliver her handwritten letter to Flander.

Given Flander's shrewd, businessman-like nature, he shouldn't have treated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's precious jewel so poorly.

Could there be something unknown about this?

Ning Fengzhi found it increasingly suspicious, sensing that someone was manipulating Shrek Academy from behind the scenes.

Seeing that the two Title Douluos were about to set off, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly stepped to the side and stopped them: "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, wait!"

"What?" Sword Douluo's white hair flew wildly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Feng Zhi, are you going to stop us from seeking justice for Rongrong now?"

Bone Douluo was equally displeased: "That's right, this time I will make Shrek Academy pay the price no matter what!"

Seeing that the two elders were very angry, Ning Fengzhi quickly said, "No, I just want to ask Rongrong some questions first. After I've asked them, it won't be too late for Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu to make their move!"

"You'd better hurry! My Seven Kill Sword is itching for a fight!"

Sword Douluo finally suppressed his anger and closed his eyes to wait.

Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief and squatted down slightly to be level with Ning Rongrong: "Rongrong, tell Daddy, who have you been with these past few days? And where have you been?"

"I...I was with the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and we even went to the Star Dou Great Forest," Ning Rongrong said softly, her head lowered and her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.

"What!" the three exclaimed in unison.

Ning Fengzhi grabbed her shoulder and examined her carefully: "Did they give you any trouble? After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's features are too obvious; they couldn't possibly not recognize you."

“No.” Ning Rongrong shook her head. “Not only did they not make things difficult for me, they also let me join their team.”

As she said this, her breathing became a little rapid: "If I hadn't been with him, I might not have been able to see a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"

Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted sharply, his expression turning serious: "The Spirit Hall is hunting a 100,000-year-old spirit beast?!"

"That's not all." Ning Rongrong's eyes gleamed with a strange light. "That Holy Son even absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul ring as his fourth soul ring!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Ning Fengzhi immediately denied. "Absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring at level 40? Isn't that just courting death?!"

However, Ning Rongrong shook her head and said seriously, "He succeeded! Although I didn't see the whole process, he really did successfully absorb the 100,000-year soul ring!"

Upon hearing this, even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were unsettled.

The two elders exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

After all, even the two titled Douluo didn't possess a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Is the Spirit Hall about to increase its strength again?!

The Spirit Hall already possessed a foundation that surpassed the three upper sects and the two great empires, and now its younger generation includes the Golden Generation and the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

Under this dual pressure, even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo felt immense pressure.

Ning Fengzhi, having seen his share of storms, quickly calmed himself and continued asking questions.

"Rongrong, besides hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts, did the Spirit Hall people do anything else?"

Ning Rongrong pondered for a while, then suddenly recalled the conversation between Lion Douluo and Tianxia Wuzei when Lion Douluo left.

"Besides hunting down 100,000-year-old soul beasts, the Spirit Hall people also seem to have captured a scruffy man named Tang Hao. Apparently, they're using him as a watchdog for the Spirit Hall!"

"Tang Hao?!" Ning Fengzhi's voice suddenly rose, "How dare the Spirit Hall humiliate him like this? Aren't they afraid of the Clear Sky Sect's retaliation?"

……

Two days later, Wu Zetian and his companions arrived at Sunset Forest.

"This is it. I hope that old poisoner is here. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking his immortal herbs for free!"

At this moment, an old man dressed in a green robe next to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire shivered.

"Hiss, why do I feel a chill down my spine?! Is someone eyeing me?!"
