"Uncle, I must congratulate Ning Linglong. You have fulfilled the long-cherished wish of countless ancestors of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had thought of it, and Ning Fengzhi quickly recovered, looking at Ning Linglong with a gentle smile.
"These are all His Highness's merits; Ning Linglong would not dare to claim credit," Ning Linglong said with a sweet smile, a hint of happiness appearing on her face.
Ning Fengzhi's heart sank. The worst outcome had appeared. In fact, when Feng Tianxiang and Xu Sheng appeared together, he had already guessed it, but he still held onto a last shred of hope.
"Hahaha, of course. His Highness Xu Tianyang has helped my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fulfill a long-cherished wish, and Fengzhi is very grateful. Please ask Shadow Sword Douluo and Sheng Yang Douluo to convey my thanks to His Highness when they return. Fengzhi will certainly visit to express his gratitude another day." Ning Fengzhi's expression did not change in the slightest, still wearing a smile that made people feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze. This level of composure was truly extraordinary.
"I'm afraid that won't do. When the two of us return depends on Ning Linglong's wishes. If three people came and only two return, Tianyang might just skin this old man," Xu Sheng chuckled, appearing to defer to Ning Linglong.
Seeing this, Ning Linglong's heart felt even sweeter. Two Titled Douluo, both listening to her, a Spirit King. The feeling of power brought her immense satisfaction.
All of this was brought by Xu Tianyang. Her heart couldn't help but stir with excitement, wishing she could immediately throw herself into Xu Tianyang's arms.
Seeing Xu Sheng and Feng Tianxiang's reaction, Ning Fengzhi's heart sank. Xu Tianyang's power in the Sun Moon Empire exceeded his imagination. To casually mobilize two Titled Douluo, was he still just a crown prince?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the current emperor. (Xu Tianyang: Just an Executive Vice Emperor.)
This further reflected the terrifying strength of the Sun Moon Empire; the number of Titled Douluo within it probably exceeded everyone's imagination.
"Uncle Ning, why bother playing dumb?" Ning Linglong looked at Ning Fengzhi, hinting at something.
"You are staging a coup!" Ning Fengzhi's face completely darkened. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's auras condensed but remained unreleased, staring intently at Feng Tianxiang and Xu Sheng.
The phantom images of the Seven Kill Sword, Bone Dragon, Shadow Sword, and Sun, the four Spirits, appeared above the main hall. Four pressures belonging to the Titled Douluo level quietly emerged.
An invisible clash of auras quietly unfolded in the air above the main hall.
"Grand Elder, is this your intention too?" Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Ning Yan, who was standing to the side, and asked with a grim expression.
"I..." Ning Yan was at a loss for words at this moment. His granddaughter hadn't discussed this with him at all! He had only just learned that his granddaughter's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had evolved. How had it turned into a coup in the blink of an eye?
However, at this moment, he didn't try to explain. Instead, he stood up and silently walked behind Ning Linglong and the other two. His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit appeared in his palm, and two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings emerged beneath his feet.
A cultivation level no weaker than Ning Fengzhi's quietly manifested.
"Uncle Ning, you simply don't know the terror of the Sun Moon Empire, you don't know Tianyang's strength. The people of the Douluo Continent haven't truly recognized themselves. I don't want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to be swept into the rolling tide of events."
Seeing her grandfather's reaction, Ning Linglong silently apologized in her heart and then looked at Ning Fengzhi, speaking with a serious expression.
"The Sun Moon Empire has the ambition to unify!" Ning Fengzhi suddenly stood up, his face complex as he spoke.
The issue they had been avoiding was brought up again by Ning Linglong. They had originally hoped that the Sun Moon Empire would counterbalance Spirit Hall and maintain the current situation.
Who would have thought that they didn't want to play along at all and simply overturned the table?
"Uncle Ning, after all, I also come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I truly don't want to resort to conflict. You should seriously consider this."
"Presumptuous! You are staging a coup! I will capture you, traitor, and make Xu Tianyang give an explanation!" Just then, Bone Douluo roared and abruptly attacked first.
A gaunt hand with unusually large knuckles reached out from the void towards Ning Linglong, as if it had crossed space. A dense black aura enveloped an area three meters in front of Ning Linglong.
A massive dragon claw, entirely composed of dark black bones without muscle or scales, emerged from the void.
"How dare you!"
Xu Sheng snorted coldly at the sight. Intense red light erupted from him, and behind him, a metallic glow, like a red lotus, rapidly spun and assembled.
In just an instant, thousands of cannon barrels, the thickness of a thumb, appeared on him.
Thousands of cannon barrels glowed red, and thousands of cannonballs shot out, followed by continuous dull thuds of firing.
A terrifying spirit power storm appeared in the main hall.
"Bone Transformation Divine Dragon!"
"My Body is a Sword!"
A massive Bone Dragon soared into the sky, followed closely by a colossal Seven Kill Sword.
"Boom!"
On this day, above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, four terrifying figures bathed in colorful light crisscrossed. Powerful Soul Guided Cannons collided and exploded in the sky, making crisp sounds like firecrackers. Countless fiery explosions were dazzling and brilliant.
No one knew what happened that day, only that from that day on, one-third of the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School left Seven Treasure City... In an unknown area of the Star Dou Great Forest, a golden light flashed by at an extremely fast speed.
Dazzling light erupted instantly, as if a small sun had released its light and heat.
The brilliant golden light gradually faded, revealing a golden, peculiar small Spirit Beast. It was over a meter long, three feet tall at the shoulder, and covered in a layer of brilliant golden fur.
The entire body of this Spirit Beast seemed like translucent crystal, full of a strange texture. Its overall shape resembled a lion, but its four claws were like a dragon's, and beneath each dragon claw, a ball of golden flame burned.
Its mouth was also slightly longer than that of a lion-type Spirit Beast, and beneath its fur, there seemed to be fine golden scales.
In addition to its normal pair of eyes, there was a third eye on its forehead, a vertical pupil in its glabella.
Its two normal eyes shimmered with gold, while this vertical pupil emitted red light, a somewhat eerie red.
What was astonishing was that a thousand-year-level Heavenly Dragon Horse was being effortlessly pinned under the foot of a peculiar Spirit Beast, or rather, the Heavenly Dragon Horse dared not resist.
And the identity of the peculiar Spirit Beast was also obvious: it was the embodiment of the Star Dou Great Forest's luck, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion extended its sharp claws, killing the Heavenly Dragon Horse with a single strike, then lowered its head and ravenously sucked on the Heavenly Dragon Horse's brain matter with a look of enjoyment.
Just then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion raised its head in some confusion. The eerie red vertical pupil in its glabella emitted a strange glow, and an unshakeable doubt appeared in its golden eyes.
After a brief pause, it took off, galloping towards a certain direction.
