Ning Rongrong walked back to her bedroom unhurriedly.
Two and a half years had passed, but for her, who had been in seclusion, it was like a brief closing and opening of her eyes.
After Ning Fengzhi got the information he wanted, Ning Rongrong began to organize the information she had received.
The incident where Xue Qinghe was killed by Tang Chen?
"Qian Renxue is playing quite the game!"
If Ning Fengzhi hadn't mentioned it, Ning Rongrong wouldn't have believed that Qian Renxue had faked her death to escape.
There was no definitive information indicating Qian Renxue was alive.
But Spirit Hall's ambiguous attitude spoke volumes. With Qian Renxue's abilities, escaping from a Limit Douluo wasn't entirely impossible.
A complete set of soul bones—who knows what special skills they might have.
Even Bibi Dong had the ability to revive, recovering after being blasted to pieces by Qian Daoliu, let alone Qian Renxue.
If the relationship between Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue wasn't known, Spirit Hall's attitude could be understandable.
But Qian Renxue was the granddaughter of the Grand Enshrinement Qian Daoliu. If she were killed without clarity, wouldn't Qian Daoliu take the Enshrinement Hall straight to the Star Luo Empire?
As for Tang Chen, Tang Hao was beheaded.
Tang Chen was like a wilted bitter melon, not daring to confront them.
Firstly, Spirit Hall held the moral high ground. Tang Hao had indeed smashed several Spirit Hall branches, with solid evidence, and most importantly, he killed Pope Qian Xunji. Whether or not it was his doing, on the surface, it was because of Tang Chen that he fell.
But these weren't the key factors. The important thing was that Tang Chen was severely injured in his battle with Di Tian and wasn't confident he could return safely if he went.
This time, there was no Bo Saixi to guard him, and Tang Chen, not at his peak, was weakened.
Tang Hao was important, but with Tang Xiao already dead and Tang San not yet grown, he couldn't afford another mishap, or the Clear Sky Sect would become an empty shell.
As for killing Xue Qinghe, it's unclear whether Tang Chen knew about the relationship between Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue.
In any case, according to Tang Chen's thinking, it was probably: I killed the Heaven Dou Empire's Emperor, standing on the Star Luo Empire's side.
You, Qian Daoliu, can't possibly come to the Star Luo Empire to fight me to the death for your granddaughter's fiancé, a mere young punk like Xue Qinghe!
Logically, you should thank me.
I saved your daughter from disaster, preventing a good cabbage from being ruined by a pig.
If Qian Daoliu really came, Tang Chen would have to suspect Qian Daoliu's mental state.
Or perhaps, the Heaven Dou Empire's Xue Qinghe is your illegitimate son, Qian Daoliu.
As for others?
As long as it wasn't Qian Daoliu, even Bibi Dong or the one-armed second enshrinement Golden Crocodile.
Tang Chen wasn't afraid!
Ning Rongrong sat on her bedroom bed, frowning in thought: "Tang Chen clearly joined the Star Luo Empire, so the attack on Xue Qinghe might have been spontaneous, but Qian Renxue probably didn't expect it either."
Otherwise, there was no need to sacrifice Tuoba Xi, the sect master of the Holy Dragon Sect, who had taken over Marshal Ge Long's position and was currently the Grand Marshal of the Heaven Dou Empire's forces.
It couldn't be that Tuoba Xi knew too much and was deliberately sent to his death.
"Uh… it's not entirely impossible!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but quip.
In the original story, Qian Renxue, to win over Tang San, had considered selling out a Title Douluo.
"As expected, they're all so scary!"
Selling a Title Douluo, Spirit Hall is truly filthy rich.
If it were the Seven… Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Title Douluo.
She, Ning Rongrong, would treat them like ancestors, feeding them well, occasionally using them to throw her weight around. How could she be like Qian Renxue, this prodigal daughter?
Having many Title Douluos, impressive huh? [｀Д′]凸
"Forget it, no point thinking about that prodigal daughter."
Spirit Hall is a big family with a huge business, they can afford to squander, unlike the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, just a small workshop with some wealth.
Lose a bit, and it's gone.
With Ning Fengzhi, a sect master barely keeping things afloat, as the Young Sect Master, she had to toil and worry.
Life is exhausting, cat sighs.
However, Tang Chen might not be without the idea of assassinating Xue Qinghe to throw the Heaven Dou Empire into chaos.
They had Xue Beng as a card to play, and establishing a puppet regime was possible, but they didn't expect Ning Fengzhi and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to intervene midway, with strength even greater than before.
Also, Xue Ke took the role of regent. Although she didn't claim the title of Emperor, she didn't recognize Xue Beng's legitimacy. With Spirit Hall's support, the Heaven Dou Empire didn't fall into great chaos.
In essence, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stopped external chaos, while Xue Ke and Spirit Hall prevented internal chaos.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's decisive slaughter of the Star Luo Empire's army also intimidated the Star Luo Empire's officials, and they still haven't recovered.
"I wonder where Qian Renxue is now?"
"She's not in the Star Dou Great Forest, is she?"
In Ning Rongrong's hand, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda slowly materialized.
"Forget about her!"
Her gaze fell on the radiant Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Compared to two and a half years ago.
The pagoda's sheen had slightly changed, becoming more vibrant and lively.
"Well, when a certain little kitty wakes up, she'll completely become her resentful pagoda spirit."
"Hehe!"
Thinking of Tokisaki Kurumi's expression inside the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh.
Soul rings weren't important anymore.
All the soul rings on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or rather, the soul rings belonging to the abilities of using the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, had begun to fuse with Tokisaki Kurumi.
Even without soul rings, Ning Rongrong could use the pagoda's abilities. She just didn't know how many soul rings the pagoda would have once Tokisaki Kurumi woke up.
But in the future, when fighting, she might be able to do this—
"Look at my treasure!"
Throw out a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to suppress the enemy.
Thinking to this point, Ning Rongrong's mind flashed with the unfortunate Hypnos and the god-level information passed on by Gu Yuena.
"Godhood, it does impose a certain degree of restriction on gods."
"No wonder in the original story, Tang San didn't improve his cultivation at all in thirty thousand years."
Other gods, after achieving godhood, tried every means to pass it down.
It turns out, when you don't have it, it's a treasure, but once you get it, it's a hot potato.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda trembled slightly.
A white light orb floated out, slowly landing in Ning Rongrong's empty hand.
"Hypnos's combat techniques, and Asura God's combat technique experience, and so on."
"I'll give them to Sword Douluo after some time," Ning Rongrong said, sighing.
She was still somewhat worried that memories imbued with strong killing intent, involving god-level power systems, might affect Sword Douluo. If they accidentally impacted his state of mind or even his personality, it would become very troublesome.
The Seven Kills Sword wasn't entirely an upright fighting style, but it could draw inspiration from the combat styles of Asura and Hypnos, even the Asura God's combat methods.
But she was just a bit worried.
After all, a level 99 Limit Douluo, if they went berserk.
Ning Rongrong could only turn and run.
Wait… until Kurumi wakes up!
Ning Rongrong stored the light orb, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's sheen flickered again.
A silver-white longsword with a simple, ancient blade.
Quietly floated in the open space before Ning Rongrong.
This sword was Hypnos's God-Slaying Sword.
No choice, she still lacked a weapon.
Since the other side offered it, of course, she accepted.
Anyway, the sword's current appearance, including its look, had been modified.
Even if the Asura God came in person, he wouldn't be able to tell it had any connection to Hypnos.
Reforged by Ning Rongrong using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, its attributes were completely different from Hypnos's, but it was still undeniably a divine artifact, possessing ice and fire abilities, and even touching on space and time.
In terms of weapons alone, it wasn't inferior to Qian Renxue's Angel Holy Sword, Tang Chen's Asura God Sword, or Bo Saixi's Poseidon Trident.
Finally, she too was a man with a divine artifact…
Uh, a big loli with a divine artifact.
Ning Rongrong: "…"
Ning Rongrong retracted the sword into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Soon."
In two and a half years, she was closer to the second realm of perfection!
