Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Xue Beng gradually regained consciousness after Ye Lingling's treatment.
As for Tang San, he wouldn't die even if left there, so let him continue to faint.
"Prince Xue Beng, you're awake!" Ning Fengzhi tried his best to appear amiable, but he really couldn't bring himself to like this guy. If it weren't for the fact that he would be useful in his later plans, he would have killed him directly for leading people to attack the sect.
"Thank you for saving me, Sect Master Ning!" Xue Beng said with feigned gratitude. He remembered everything that happened while he was controlled. He was indeed somewhat grateful to Ning Fengzhi, but more than that, he felt anger.
Because the army of over ten thousand people was the foundation that his uncle had painstakingly gathered, persuading several junior generals willing to participate in the factional struggle and support him. But today, they were all slaughtered by Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master Ning, although you saved me, weren't you a bit too ruthless? A whole ten thousand troops defending the country died tragically at the hands of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"I had no other choice. It was you who killed my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples first, and then tried to destroy my sect. Under duress, we had no choice but to take drastic measures. If I had known you were being controlled, I would have shown mercy," Ning Fengzhi said, looking regretful.
But Tianlin, who knew him well, could tell that his father-in-law was doing it on purpose. He first used Spirit Hall disciples disguised as Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples as cannon fodder, letting Xue Beng's side strike first.
Then his counterattack would be much more reasonable. But no matter how justified he was, killing tens of thousands of troops of the Heaven Dou Empire in one go would inevitably incur the resentment of the royal family, but it wouldn't be enough to make them turn against him directly.
Ning Fengzhi generally wouldn't make such a reckless move, unless that was also part of his plan. Tianlin always felt that Ning Fengzhi was designing a plan that even he didn't know about.
Unlike a certain god who spent ten thousand years designing a brain-dead plan in the future, Ning Fengzhi's plans were never grand in scope, but they were simple, clear, and effective.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's appearance, Xue Beng, who was in the wrong, could only suppress his anger. "Since that's the case, then this prince will no longer dwell on this matter. After all, Sect Master Ning, you are also a victim."
"But regarding the instigator of this incident, your disciple Xue Qinghe, what do you plan to do? During the time I was controlled, the order I received was to do everything I could to help him complete the Soul Hunting Plan, but it had to be done secretly, without letting him discover my true purpose. But this is clearly a Spirit Hall plan, how could he, as the crown prince, be involved? I now suspect that he is actually a member of Spirit Hall, and even in league with the Black Robed People who controlled me."
Xue Beng's IQ was indeed not too low. As soon as he woke up, he pointed the finger at Xue Qinghe.
In fact, Tianlin was also very puzzled by this. When Xue Qinghe mentioned the Black Robed Man, the confusion in her heart couldn't be faked. Having known her for many years, Tianlin was sure she wasn't lying. She really didn't know the identity of this person.
A Titled Douluo belonging to Spirit Hall, yet Qian Renxue didn't recognize him. And because the Soul Hunting Operation was brought forward, and Qian Renxue was not prepared enough, this Black Robed People came specifically to help her, using Xue Beng to force away the garrison generals, plus the Four-Winged Fallen Angel Spirit.
The internal situation of Spirit Hall was becoming more and more confusing. Could it be that within Spirit Hall, besides Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, there really was a third force?
Regarding Xue Qinghe's matter, Ning Fengzhi could only promise to investigate it thoroughly with Xue Beng, which made him slightly satisfied.
Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi asked Xue Beng how he was controlled, but Xue Beng said he knew nothing. He himself didn't know when he was controlled. Moreover, he had actually been controlled for several years. The controller had never given him any instructions before. Other than being more tyrannical than usual, he was no different, so no one noticed anything unusual.
This was somewhat similar to Tianlin's Mind Control on Hu Liena. As long as there were no instructions, she was still herself. The only difference was that the power controlling Xue Beng would make his already somewhat cruel heart become more and more tyrannical. The reason why he abused that commoner girl in front of Tianlin and Xue Qinghe was, to some extent, influenced by this.
As for having no memory, it was probably similar to Tianlin's Soul Reading technique. That memory was erased. It seemed impossible to get clues from him.
Soon after, Prince Xue Xing, who had received the message, also arrived. After learning the cause and effect, the first thing he thought of was not gratitude, but that Ning Fengzhi had acted too ruthlessly, destroying his foundation.
However, unlike Xue Beng, the more mature him didn't say it directly, but secretly remembered this debt in his heart. Then, he left with Xue Beng and the still unconscious Tang San.
"Uncle Ning, you deliberately offended them, right?" Tianlin asked.
"Hehe, after tonight, the Heaven Dou situation will usher in a big change." Ning Fengzhi didn't answer him directly, but said, "Xiao Tian, be prepared to welcome several major events. Clear Sky coming out of the mountain, Xue Qinghe stepping down, Xue Beng taking the throne, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect being suppressed by the royal family, and Qian Daoliu coming soon."
Tianlin was confused after hearing this. How many actions did Ning Fengzhi secretly do that he didn't know about? And he seemed to already know what would happen later.
Unfortunately, Tianlin hadn't noticed that the final point of Ning Fengzhi's plan was him.
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Tianlin and thought, "Xiao Tian, since there are some things you are unwilling to do, then I will plan them. If Xue Qinghe really comes to ask my sect for reconciliation and gets my approval in the future, as you said, and the two sides reach cooperation, then I will terminate the plan, otherwise..."
This night felt longer than the past few months. In the early morning, the sect was still cleaning up the ruins. Tianlin held Ning Rongrong's hand and looked at the distant sunrise, feeling a sense of relief in his heart. Since joining the sect, for the past ten years, he had been worried about the Soul Hunting Operation every day, and it had finally passed safely.
Although many variables had appeared, Tianlin was not afraid, because for this world, his existence was also one of the variables. As a transmigrator who had gradually grown up, he had no reason to be afraid of these natives.
The Asura God had once said that among the foreign souls who came to this world, only he and Tang San existed, thus the possibility of a third transmigrator could be discarded.
However, along with Tianlin when he transmigrated, besides the Spirit Pearl Divine Sword, there was actually something else.
Within the Holy Spirit Pearl, the Descendant of Nüwa murmured, "I didn't expect Xiao Tian to encounter that thing so quickly. It seems that among the natives of this continent, someone has already obtained and begun to use its power. I must hurry and have Xiao Tian start the Holy Spirit Pearl's divine position assessment."
In fact, that thing was just a magical artifact, but its speed of concealment was extremely fast, so even the Asura God couldn't capture it.
Just like Tianlin obtained the Holy Spirit Pearl, whoever obtains that thing can obtain enormous power. In fact, Tianlin's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword crossed planes and came to this Douluo Continent in order to destroy that thing.
