Chapter 145: Tensions Rise
"Yue'er, stop messing around! Your cousin may be the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, but she can't do whatever she wants! If you try to use this power to bully others, I'll be the first to punish you!"
"Grandma, I get it!"
Shui Yue'er immediately stuck out her pink tongue and said obediently in response to Mizunoe's lecture.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue quickly pulled her to her side and said, "It's okay. Our Yue'er is such a good girl. Even if she wants to teach someone a lesson, it must be the other person's fault first. If you're bullied in the future, just come to the Spirit Hall and find your cousin. I'll definitely teach him a lesson for you!"
Just because Shui Yue'er called her "cousin" sweetly, Qian Renxue secretly made up her mind: no matter what, she would never let anyone bully this innocent and lovely girl!
"Great, thank you, cousin!"
After receiving Qian Renxue's promise, Shui Yue'er was as happy as a blooming flower, her face filled with a bright smile.
"Ah~"
Seeing Shui Yue'er's expression, Shui Wu Yue shook her head helplessly.
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er, standing beside her, was unsure how to deal with Qian Renxue.
Unlike Shui Yue'er, she understood Shui Wu Yue'er's intentions.
It was simply that the Spirit Hall's reputation was currently so poor.
They were also worried that Shui Yue'er would be innocently targeted and persecuted by the sect's disciples.
However, they were all in the same boat.
If they were divided now, how could they resist an attack from outsiders?
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er suddenly felt a little envious of Shui Yue'er.
If only she had her own composure, she wouldn't have to worry so much.
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and the others, returning to their lounge, were no longer as calm as before.
"Uncle Jian, the Po Yi Clan has joined forces with the Spirit Hall. What should we do? Are we really going to surrender to them?"
Ning Fengzhi asked anxiously, pacing back and forth. The thought of his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, passed down through countless generations, being destroyed in an instant by his own missteps filled him with anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan.
After all, as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he absolutely did not want to be condemned as a sinner, reviled and reviled
by future generations! "Fengzhi, calm down! There's only one way out!"
"What way? Uncle Jian, please explain!"
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly stopped and looked at Jian Douluo expectantly.
Jian Douluo took a deep breath and declared firmly, "Unite all forces to resist Spirit Hall!"
His eyes lit up with a look of unwavering determination.
However, upon hearing these words, Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened, and he slumped into his chair, as if all strength had suddenly drained from him.
"Uncle Jian, that's easier said than done! Just like the previous attack, it all comes down to our own selfishness. If it weren't for that blood-red energy shield, Tang San would have perished long ago! Just our two families, each harboring their own agenda, let alone the rest of us."
"Fengzhi, I know this is difficult. But we've run out of options! Besides, you don't want to watch the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect annihilate, do you?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was silent for a long moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Jian, you're right! I can't watch the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect be wiped out by the Spirit Hall! As long as we unite all forces, even with the help of the Po Yi Clan, the Spirit Hall won't dare act rashly! Although this is difficult, I believe they will understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze instantly became incredibly firm, as unshakable as steel.
It was a look of determination, an unwavering conviction to protect the sect at all costs.
Seeing this, Jian Douluo couldn't help but feel relieved.
He walked forward, patted Ning Fengzhi's shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Fengzhi, I'm glad you can figure it out. Now, what we have to do is to tell others about the alliance between the Spirit Hall and the Poyi Clan. Especially, Tang San!"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"That's right! Given the Haotian Sect's hatred for the two, there's no way Tang San would refuse to join us!"
After the discussion, Ning Fengzhi and the other two rushed to Tang San.
Tang San seemed a little surprised by their sudden arrival.
After all, after the two previous incidents, his favorable impression of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had plummeted to its lowest point.
Not to mention the cold-eyed indifference during the attack, but
then there was the exploitation of the aphrodisiac incident. This smiling tiger had actually taken advantage of him while he was under the aphrodisiac to demand another five hundred Zhuge Divine Crossbows from Yu Xiaogang, falsely claiming it was a reward for finding a healing spirit master!
As such, after recovering, he was extremely displeased with Ning Fengzhi.
However, considering Jian Douluo beside him, he let the two in.
"Sect Master Ning, may I know what brings you here?"
Tang San's tone dropped slightly from his previous politeness as he looked at him.
Ning Fengzhi didn't seem embarrassed at all.
Instead, Jian Douluo, standing nearby, had a flicker of anger on his face.
Isn't this brat too arrogant?
He's a Titled Douluo after all; how could he have endured such treatment?
If it weren't for the situation, he wouldn't have bothered to come to Tang San.
After all, as a sword cultivator, he despised those who murdered their teachers and friends the most!
"Tang San, I know there have been some unpleasant things between us. But, you know, I had no choice."
Before Ning Fengzhi could finish, Tang San sneered, "Haha, no choice? Just because you have no choice, you can take advantage of our misfortune and extort five hundred Zhuge Divine Crossbows from us?"
Even before he finished speaking, Tang San felt a chilling murderous aura sweeping in from all directions, locking him in place.
Beside Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo's face flickered between blue and purple, his eyes blazing with fire.
"Tang San, watch your words. I, Jian Douluo, never tolerate bullying. If I hear you say anything slandering the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect again, I will absolutely not forgive you!"
Jian Douluo's voice was thick with threats.
Hearing this, Tang San's heart surged with rage.
However, his situation didn't make him timid or intimidated.
After all, he possessed a trump card!
So, he stared him down and said, unflinchingly, "Hmph, you dare to act without taking responsibility? If you dare, try it! Let's see who dies first, you or me?"
"How dare you!"
Seeing Tang San's insolence, Jian Douluo flew into a rage.
He had thought his earnest advice would mollify the other party.
But what he had never expected was that he would dare to openly challenge his authority!
However, he wasn't foolish; he knew the other party relied on that blood-red energy shield.
"Don't think you can rest easy just because you have that energy shield. If I wanted to, I could devise a thousand ways to make you suffer a fate worse than death without triggering the shield!"
Just as the two men were on the verge of a fight, Yu Xiaogang, supported by Liu Erlong, rushed over.
