Chapter 146: Clearing Up Misunderstandings .
"Wait, wait!"
A flurry of calls followed as Yu Xiaogang, face flushed and breathless, approached Tang San.
After calming himself briefly, he bowed respectfully to Jian Douluo and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient! I would like to ask what fault this old disciple of mine has committed to provoke such a fury in your
heart." However, Jian Douluo only uttered a muffled groan in response to Yu Xiaogang's earnest inquiry, remaining silent.
By this time, Ning Fengzhi, standing by, had already understood that their side had indeed been a bit too greedy in the previous incident, and that Tang San had simply been irritated and cold-eyed.
He quickly stepped forward, a smile plastered on his face as he tried to lighten the mood, explaining, "Haha, it's okay, it's okay! Uncle Jian just wanted to test Young Master Tang San's true abilities. That's why there was a bit of a commotion."
Although Ning Fengzhi's words were lighthearted, Yu Xiaogang was far from convinced.
He knew full well how a simple test could possibly trigger such a massive fluctuation in spirit power.
Furthermore, he had personally heard Jian Douluo hurling harsh words and threats at Tang San.
Seeing Jian Douluo's cold demeanor, he knew full well that something deeply unpleasant must have transpired between the two.
Unfortunately, even with a clear understanding of the situation, Yu Xiaogang was helpless.
After all, if a complete falling-out had broken out between the two, with their current strength, no one could possibly counter the formidable Jian Douluo!
However, since Ning Fengzhi had taken the initiative to offer a way out, he naturally followed suit.
Yu Xiaogang then smiled and said, "I see. It seems I was overthinking it. Come to think of it, Your Majesty, as a Titled Douluo, how could he bother with a child?"
Seeing the half-smile on Yu Xiaogang's face, Jian Douluo, though disdainful, said nothing.
He knew the purpose of their trip very well.
If things got out of hand, their attempt to ally with the Haotian Sect would become extremely difficult.
Furthermore, the other party was Yu Yuanzhen's son.
He had to give them some respect.
Seeing Jian Douluo's aura recede, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master Ning, I wonder what brings you here?"
"Alas, you don't know, the Spirit Hall has already joined forces with the Po Yi Clan!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, Yu Xiaogang's mouth dropped open in shock, his breathing becoming a bit sluggish.
The Spirit Hall's ambitions were known to everyone!
Over the years, if it weren't for the suppression of the two great empires, the Spirit Hall would have attacked these sects and forces long ago.
Now, with the addition of the Po Yi Clan, the previously balanced situation would be instantly shattered!
Would they even have time to develop by then?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly asked, "Sect Master Ning, is your source of information reliable?"
"Master, I also hope this is false. But I saw it with my own eyes! The granddaughter of the Spirit Hall's chief priest is Yang Ziyuan's fiancée. Don't you understand what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale and he sat there in a daze.
"Master, there's no need to panic. Now, if we want to resist the Spirit Hall's attack, there's another way!"
"What is it?"
"Unite the other forces and resist the Spirit Hall together! Once we succeed, with the two great empires holding us back, the Spirit Hall won't dare to attack us! I came to you this time to ask for your opinion."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up when he heard the alliance's words.
He had to admit, this method did have considerable feasibility.
While they didn't yet possess the strength to rival the Spirit Hall, if all the forces were brought together, they would be a formidable force!
At that point, they could also leverage the alliance's resources to train their own people!
With this in mind, Yu Xiaogang agreed without hesitation.
"Sect Master Ning, we're willing to join!"
The cry resonated through the air like thunder, but Ning Fengzhi seemed oblivious. He sat there, as steady as a mountain, his body motionless.
His gaze was as calm as water, silently gazing at Tang San before him, as if trying to penetrate his innermost thoughts through those piercing eyes.
Ning Fengzhi knew full well that the key figure who truly controlled the fate of the Clear Sky Sect and the other three single-attribute clans wasn't Yu Xiaogang, but this plain-looking Tang San before him!
As for Yu Xiaogang? He
was nothing but a clown seeking attention! If it weren't for the other party's unique status, Ning Fengzhi
probably wouldn't have even bothered to exchange a single word. Therefore, when Yu Xiaogang expressed his agreement, Ning Fengzhi didn't even bother to respond. Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth in anger, secretly clenching his fists. However, he managed to maintain a composed demeanor, and when no one else was paying attention, he quickly cast a suggestive glance at Tang San, as if urging him to agree. Tang San nodded slightly at Yu Xiaogang's suggestion, indicating he understood. Then, without hesitation, he said, "I have no objection!" "Okay, straightforward!" Seeing Tang San agree, Ning Fengzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Since we're allies now, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is null and void!" As Ning Fengzhi said this, his heart felt like it was bleeding, yet he maintained his usual composure. After all, for auxiliary spirit masters like them, these Zhuge Divine Crossbows were life-saving artifacts! But to restore the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's image in Tang San's heart, he had to make a choice. After all, without unity, their alliance would be nothing but a hollow facade! Therefore, for the greater good, he reluctantly gave up his previous reward. Tang San was somewhat surprised by Ning Fengzhi's actions. He hadn't expected Ning Fengzhi, this smiling tiger, to actually give up the meat that was already in his mouth. Could it be that he had truly misunderstood him? Still, if war truly broke out, supporting sects like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be extremely important! Thinking of this, Tang San smiled and replied, "Sect Master Ning, that's not necessary! With war imminent, the safety of your supporting spirit masters must be guaranteed. So, you should keep these Zhuge Divine Crossbows! If you need them again, please let me know. However, you must pay for their manufacture!" "Hahaha, of course!" Ning Fengzhi felt a sudden blessing in disguise when he saw that Tang San not only didn't take back the Zhuge Divine Crossbows, but instead lifted the restrictions on their ordering. However, he also knew that this was just Tang San's way of showing goodwill! After all, no one wanted to become a ghost under the sword of the Spirit Hall! At this point, the gap between the two sides had been eliminated, and the previous misunderstandings and conflicts had also disappeared.
