Chapter 66: Do you still want to join the Spirit Hall?
Another knock on the door was heard outside.
Gu Rong frowned, cursing.
"Another one! It's endless, isn't it?"
As he spoke, Gu Rong, already in a bad mood, stood up from the stone bench. He
rolled up his sleeves and headed for the gate.
Seeing this, Chen Jianjun reached out and grabbed Gu Rong.
"Calm down! This time, it's someone from the Tiandou Imperial Family.
Not those ordinary sect disciples or other minor nobles..."
Gu Rong paused after hearing Chen Jianjun's words.
After stealing a glance at the haggard-eyed Ning Fengzhi beside him, Gu Rong said coldly.
"So what if they're from the Tiandou Imperial Family? If they're here to cause trouble, I'll beat them up."
With that, Gu Rong flashed and appeared at the wooden door.
Pulling it open, Gu Rong looked up at the man outside and said,
"Get out! How many times do I have to repeat this?
We in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect are not accepting other guests during this time."
Hearing this, one of the men declared.
"Elder Gu Rong, the man standing before you is the younger brother of Emperor Xue Ye, a prince of the Tiandou Empire, and the de facto administrator of the Tiandou Imperial Academy.
You'd better show some respect."
Before the man could finish his words, Xue Xing, the leader, grabbed him.
Xue Xing looked at Gu Rong and said,
"Elder Gu Rong, the people below are ignorant. Please bear with me. " Gu Rong
snorted coldly.
"The people below are ignorant? You want me to bear with you?
Xue Xing, without your permission.
How dare this kid speak to me like that?"
Xue Xing didn't deny it, but simply smiled.
"Elder Gu Rong, your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has a lot of assets in my Tiandou City..."
Before Xue Xing could finish, Gu Rong unleashed his title-level soul power without reservation.
In an instant, the pressure, like a torrent, landed precisely on Xue Xing and the others.
Almost instantly, Xue Xing and the others were crushed to the ground.
Overhearing the conversation outside, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Jianjun hurried over.
Seeing Xue Xing's miserable state, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly grabbed Gu Rong and said,
"Uncle Gu, stop now."
"Hmph—"
With another cold snort, Gu Rong retracted his soul power and coldly looked at Xue Xing's men on the ground.
After a while, Xue Xing, having recovered, was helped up by the others.
Knowing that Gu Rong was not to be trifled with, Xue Xing turned to the white-haired Ning Fengzhi beside him and said with a sullen expression.
"Sect Master Ning, you are bullying my Tiandou Imperial Family like this. Aren't you afraid that my million-strong army will surround your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"
Hearing this, Gu Rong spoke coldly without waiting for Ning Fengzhi to reply.
"Surround my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
What do you think a Titled Douluo like me is for?
If your Tiandou Empire dares to send a large army to attack my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect,
I will directly massacre your entire Tiandou Imperial Family."
"You..."
Xue Xing was speechless after hearing Gu Rong's response.
He pointed at Gu Rong and spoke tremblingly.
"Gu Rong, my Tian Dou Empire has a million-strong army forming a battle formation. Even if you are a Titled Douluo, what can you do
? Do you really dare to be an enemy of our Tian Dou Empire's army?"
Hearing Xue Xing say this, Ning Fengzhi intended to step forward to ease the relationship between the two sides, but was directly stopped by Gu Rong.
Gu Rong kicked Xue Xing in the face, sending him flying, and then said coldly.
"Why wouldn't I dare?
Do you think I'm teasing you?
No matter how many armies your Tian Dou Empire has, what's the use?
I can fly, and I also have the ability to travel through space...
Do I have to fight a war of attrition with your army on the ground?
Do you think I'm a fool?
How difficult is it for me to kill the entire Tian Dou royal family?" After hearing Gu Rong's answer, Xue Xing was stunned.
Nothing like this had ever happened before.
In the entire history of war on Douluo Continent, there had never been a precedent for actively attacking and killing nobles.
This included the current war with the Xingluo Empire.
Although the Tiandou and Xingluo factions constantly clashed on the border, the casualties were usually ordinary soldiers.
Even if a few nobles were captured, it was fine; they were often released upon payment of a small ransom.
For the nobles of the two empires, the so-called war was merely a game of gaining merit and honor...
At this moment, Xue Xing's forehead began to sweat. He stared at Gu Rong in front of him and said,
"Your Majesty, Bone Douluo, this is against the rules."
He then looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him and said.
"Sect Master Ning, judging by your expression, I believe you're well aware of the current situation of your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Countless people in the outside world are coveting the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Why bother doing this? Why not
simply merge directly into the Heaven Dou Empire? I promise on behalf of my brother that
I will grant you three duke-level titles within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Prince Xuexing.
Do I need more time to consider?"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi waver, Xuexing continued to persuade him.
"Sect Master Ning, what are you still hesitating about?
Does your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have any escape route now
? Are you still considering joining the Spirit Hall?"
"Spirit Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi muttered, his eyes lighting up.
Xuexing's words had truly enlightened him.
"Yes, I still have the Spirit Hall as my last resort..."
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's expression, Gu Rong and Chen Jianjun understood.
Ning Fengzhi must have been genuinely tempted by Xuexing's proposal.
Seeing this, Xuexing's expression changed.
Ignoring nothing else, Xue Xing quickly stepped forward, grasped Ning Fengzhi's wrist, and said,
"Sect Master Ning, don't forget who brought your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to this point.
You're not really going to join the Spirit Hall, are you?"
"Prince Xue Xing, you're joking.
I need to consider your proposal.
I'll give you a response later."
Ning Fengzhi took a step back.
After pulling his wrist free, he looked at Gu Rong beside him and said,
"Uncle Gu, see you out."
Gu Rong nodded.
With a flick of his sleeve, a stream of dark-gray soul energy swept past like a gentle breeze,
sending Xue Xing and the others flying far away.
Afterward, Ning Fengzhi and the other two didn't even glance at Xue Xing again, returning directly to the courtyard.
The courtyard gate slammed shut...
Not far away, Xue Xing sat up, supported by several of his men.
Staring at the closed gate, feeling the stinging pain on his face, Xue Xing gritted his teeth.
"This won't do. The Tiandou Imperial Family must have its own Titled Douluo..."
Thinking of this, Xue Xing looked at his men and said,
"Return immediately to the Tiandou Empire and report the situation to His Majesty.
Also, tell His Majesty not to be stingy with titles and wealth.
Do your utmost to invite Titled Douluos from outside, or those with the potential to become Titled Douluos, to join the Tiandou Empire..."
