Chapter 116: The World Has Suffered Under Spirit Hall for a Long Time
As Tang Chen was mentioned, pride filled the faces of the Tang father and sons. In their minds, he was invincible.
Ning Fengzhi continued skillfully, "Clan Master Tang and my Uncle Sword are both Titled Douluo at level 95. If you were to use Spirit Ring Detonation, I'm afraid my Uncle Sword would find it difficult to parry, but you would also suffer a backlash. Therefore, for fairness, tomorrow at the competition, Uncle Sword will voluntarily concede."
His words were clever, implying Tang Tian could only win by using his ultimate technique, thus elevating Tang Tian without disgracing Sword Douluo. In reality, Sword Douluo had consumed a great deal of energy healing Bone Douluo and was unlikely to be a match for Tang Tian anyway. This was a way to do a favor for the Clear Sky Clan, resist Spirit Hall, and preserve his own clan's reputation—a triple win.
Tang Tian remained silent for a while, then asked, "And then? What does Clan Master Ning gain by helping my clan like this?"
"I don't want to gain anything," Ning Fengzhi shook his head. He suddenly stood up, his voice full of passion. "I presume you have seen what my clan encountered today. Spirit Hall is so overbearing! A mere Qin Xuan treats our Upper Three Clans as dirt!"
Tang Hao sneered and interrupted him. "Is that so? Why did I hear that you wanted to secretly kill him? And what about the disappearance of Yu Xinglong from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? It happened not long after an Upper Three Clans' gathering."
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly, but he vehemently denied it. "Brother Tang Hao, you misunderstand. That is purely baseless. It's all because Qin Xuan threatened my clan to force me to admit to something I didn't do! Not to mention breaking Uncle Bone's leg, gouging out his eye, and crippling his cultivation!"
"Do you take me for a fool?" Tang Hao retorted. "Just Qin Xuan, a mere level 76 Spirit Saint? Can he threaten your entire clan?"
"Just him alone, of course not," Ning Fengzhi said indignantly. "But his wife can! With her twin Martial Souls, she subdued Uncle Bone, who was at level 94, with a single move! Even Clan Master Tang and Clan Master Yu tried to dissuade her, but they were ignored! She even declared that if they continued, they would suffer the same fate!"
Ning Fengzhi said so much, and Tang Hao believed almost none of it. But when his father was mentioned, he instantly became furious. He turned to Tang Tian. "Father, did Jingni Douluo really threaten you?"
Tang Tian found it hard to speak. Jingni Douluo had not threatened him, but she had threatened Yu Yuanzhen. If he had spoken up, he likely would have received the same treatment. So he said, "Clan Master Yu of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was indeed threatened by her."
"Damn Spirit Hall! Do they really think my Clear Sky Clan has no one?" Tang Hao roared, his eyes turning blood-red as the Slaughter God Domain automatically activated.
"Brother Hao," Tang Xiao grabbed his shoulder, and only then did he return to normal.
Ning Fengzhi saw his opening and fanned the flames. "Clan Master Tang, if Spirit Hall can treat the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan like this today, will they not treat your clan the same way in the future? The world has suffered under Spirit Hall for a long time! My clan is weak and unable to resist them alone. We only ask that the Upper Three Clans stand together to jointly resist their tyranny!"
