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

Chapter 49 Ning Fengzhi's Scheme, Absorbing Immortal Herbs and Soul Bones

"Feng Zhi! Do you want Rongrong to suffer eternal damnation? That's the Spirit Hall, a place that devours people without spitting out the bones!"

Sword Douluo, his hair standing on end in fury, roared at Ning Fengzhi, who was in the main seat.

This time, Bone Douluo unusually sided with Sword Douluo, saying in a deep voice, "Feng Zhi, it's already a miracle that Rongrong returned safely. Why are you pushing her into a fire pit now?"

He paused, then continued, "Besides, even if the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall accepts Rongrong and she integrates, what will the Heaven Dou royal family think of sending a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into the Spirit Hall? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Bone Douluo did not want to interfere too much with Ning Fengzhi's decisions, because the latter was the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, businessmen know how to maximize their profits.

However, since it concerned the safety of Ning Rongrong and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Bone Douluo had no choice but to stand up and oppose it.

Ning Fengzhi, abandoning his usual refined and easygoing demeanor, now had a cold and iron-like expression: "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, please calm down!"

"Hmph! Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down?!" Sword Douluo was furious. "Rongrong is your own daughter, not a commodity to be traded at will! If you don't want her, I will!"

In fact, both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were aware of Ning Fengzhi's true personality.

Otherwise, how could he, with his cultivation level of 79 Soul Saint, have managed to govern the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School so well?
Even with two titled Douluo in charge, how can one rest easy without extraordinary methods and a ruthless nature?
Ning Fengzhi's decision at this moment undoubtedly turns his own daughter into a tool for profit!

Despite Sword Douluo's angry rebuke, Ning Fengzhi's face remained completely expressionless.

He said calmly, "This is Rongrong's own idea. As her father, I am just respecting her opinion."

"You!" Sword Douluo trembled with rage. He drew his Seven Kill Sword instantly, and with a flash of light, he rushed towards the door.

"If this is not Rongrong's intention, even if you are the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I will still teach you a lesson today!"

Despite the threat from the Sword Douluo outside the hall, Ning Fengzhi remained unfazed.

Seeing this, Bone Douluo knew that Ning Rongrong had probably been persuaded.

"Feng Zhi!" he asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is your intention in doing this? Making Rongrong a partner of the Spirit Hall's Holy Son may establish a connection with the Spirit Hall, but how do you plan to handle the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family?"

Ning Fengzhi had anticipated this question and chuckled, "Rongrong ran away from home, and I was unaware of her acquaintance with the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. She doesn't represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even if Emperor Xueye knew, what could he do? Did he really dare to force the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to switch sides to the Spirit Hall?"

His confidence stemmed from his certainty that the Heavenly Dou royal family would not dare to use this as a pretext to launch an attack.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly parted ways with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Heaven Dou Empire would be the one to suffer.

Will the Snow Night Emperor be angry?

Of course it will! But so what?!

Ning Fengzhi knew that only with sufficient strength could one have the power to choose at any time.

Human nature is to seek advantage and avoid harm; anger often stems from failing to seize the initiative.

If it were any other force, they would probably have made the same choice.

“Now that the Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation and the Spirit Hall’s Holy Son have emerged out of nowhere,” Ning Fengzhi continued, “the Spirit Hall, whether it’s the older or younger generation, is putting immense pressure on the major powers on the continent. I’m doing this simply to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with another way out.”

Bone Douluo fell silent.

As a member of one of the three upper sects, he was more aware of the unparalleled strength of the Spirit Hall than people from other forces.

Admittedly, the major powers on the mainland, if united, could still contend with the Spirit Hall.

But how could there be no conflicts within the league?

Even a powerful organization like the Spirit Hall has its internal dissenting voices.

That is why Ning Fengzhi's choice seems particularly wise.

By showing goodwill to both sides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can remain standing regardless of which side ultimately wins.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's tone softened a bit: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, Rongrong won't be wronged. After all, she's my own daughter, how could I let her go to her death?"

He paused for a moment, then added meaningfully, "Moreover, with Rongrong's looks, becoming the bedmate of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall wouldn't be difficult."

"A Soul Master who possesses a 100,000-year soul ring at the age of twelve—with such talent, he is highly likely to become the next Pope of the Spirit Hall. At that time, Uncle Bone, do you still think Rongrong will suffer any injustice?" These words were half sincere and half comforting.

Ning Fengzhi knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was able to maintain its position among the top three sects entirely thanks to the help of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Otherwise, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possessed mountains of gold and silver, it would still be unable to persuade these two Title Douluo to come.

Bone Douluo sighed, "Well, that's all we can do for now."

He suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Feng Zhi, don't you plan to release the news of Tang Hao's arrest? After all, this is something that could shock the entire continent."

"Why release the news?" Ning Fengzhi revealed a meaningful smile. "When did I know about Tang Hao's arrest?"

In just two short sentences, she provided an excuse for others to later find out that Ning Rongrong had joined the Spirit Hall as a partner of the Holy Son.

Not only that, but they also removed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from the picture.

Bone Douluo gave Ning Fengzhi a deep look, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

This seemingly refined and easy-going sect leader has a mind so deep that it is truly difficult to fathom.

The sunset forest, the eyes of ice and fire.

Tianxia Wuzei slowly withdrew his hand from Dugu Bo's head and soul bone, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Old Poisoner, how does it feel?"

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, and his turbid eyes, which had been eroded by toxins for many years, suddenly became clear and bright.

He felt an unprecedented sense of ease within him, and his voice trembled with excitement: "The symptoms of poisoning have really lessened! This method really works, and Yan Yan is finally saved!"

Having resolved his obsession of over twenty years, the usually gloomy Poison Douluo was now overjoyed like a child.

Looking at the emerald green poisonous mist rising in his palm, Tianxia Wuzei timely poured cold water on the situation: "Don't be too happy yet, this method still has some hidden dangers."

"What hidden danger?!" Dugu Bo tensed up instantly.

"It's not a big problem," Tianxia Wuzei explained slowly. "The soul bone has a limited capacity. When using poison in the future, try to use the toxins stored in the soul bone. If too much accumulates, just use another soul bone to continue storing it."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious: "When you're treating your granddaughter's poison, I suggest not using the head soul bone. Use other parts of the soul bone to store it; even if the poison flares up, there's still a chance of survival. If the head soul bone flares up, you should know better than I do the terror of the Azure Serpent's venom."

"I understand!" Dugu Bo suddenly woke up, his back covered in a cold sweat.

Having been around drugs for years, he would never make such a basic mistake.

However, Dugu Yan is new to the path of poison, and if such a situation were to occur, she might face utter destruction.

"Thank you for the reminder, Holy Son. From now on, I will be at your service!" Dugu Bo solemnly clasped his hands in thanks, his eyes filled with gratitude.

He immediately noticed the emerald green poisonous mist rising from Tianxia Wuzei's palm and hurriedly said, "Holy Son, do you need me to detoxify you?"

As a Poison Douluo, he was extremely sensitive to toxins and naturally saw that Tianxia Wuzei had been contaminated with the venom of the Jade Serpent.

The poison he had just been ingested was nothing more than a matter of a few words for him.

"No Thief Under Heaven" rolled his eyes, casually took out the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot from his soul tool, rubbed them gently in his palm, and the emerald green poisonous mist instantly dissipated.

"I already have these two miraculous herbs; do I still need your help to detoxify me?"

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo was speechless.

Yes, since they don't possess any poison-related abilities, they naturally aren't afraid of the side effects of these two immortal herbs neutralizing toxins.

"Alright." Tianxia Wuzei waved his hand and chuckled.

"You go ahead. I'm sure you're eager to detoxify your granddaughter. Come find me after you've finished dealing with your family matters."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo said no more, clasped his hands in a salute, and hurriedly withdrew from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Watching Dugu Bo leave, Tianxia Wuzei sat down cross-legged.

"Now that I've finally finished dealing with them, it's time for me to absorb the immortal herbs and the Titan Ape's left arm bone!"
