"Haha, Sect Master Ning, it's been a few days—how have you been?"The Grandmaster said with a smile.
Ning Fengzhi did not stand up. He smiled faintly and said, "Please, have a seat."
The last time they met, Ning Fengzhi's attitude had been quite warm. This time, however, it was noticeably colder.
A bad premonition immediately rose in the Grandmaster's heart.
"Serve the tea," Ning Fengzhi said.
A pretty young girl brought tea over and placed a cup in front of the Grandmaster and Tang San.
Ning Fengzhi asked, "May I know what business brings the two of you here?"
The Grandmaster smiled. "Sect Master Ning, you truly have a noble's forgetfulness. Didn't we agree a few days ago to discuss cooperation on hidden weapons? Have you already forgotten?"
Ning Fengzhi replied, "Now that you mention it, I do remember. However… if you came for that matter, then you should go back."
The Grandmaster hurriedly asked, "Why? Don't the auxiliary Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect urgently need hidden weapons for self-defense?"
Ning Fengzhi said calmly, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has already disbanded. Only the direct lineage disciples and some elite members remain. From now on, we will stay secluded within this castle and withdraw from the Spirit Master world. We will no longer participate in any disputes, so there's no need to worry about danger."
"This… this…"The Grandmaster was left speechless.
Before coming, he had never imagined such a result. He hadn't expected Ning Fengzhi to refuse so decisively.
"Sect Master Ning, are you truly unwilling to reconsider?" the Grandmaster asked unwillingly.
Ning Fengzhi lifted his teacup and said, "No reconsideration. See them out."
Recalling how he had been schemed against by the Grandmaster and Tang San last time, Ning Fengzhi felt displeased and naturally had no intention of giving him a good expression.
Tang San stood up and said, "Sect Master Ning, if you're willing to cooperate, I can provide even more powerful hidden weapons in the future. The strongest ones can even kill a Titled Douluo. Surely that would interest you?"
Ning Fengzhi froze. Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who had been sitting with their eyes closed, also opened them, surprise flashing across their faces.
Even the Grandmaster was stunned. Tang San had never told him that the hidden weapons could be so powerful.
But he quickly reacted and said, "Sect Master Ning, think about it—if you had large quantities of such hidden weapons, what would you still have to fear? Perhaps even the Spirit Hall would be no match for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
The Grandmaster believed that if the Spirit Hall had truly forced the sect to disband, then Ning Fengzhi would surely be tempted by weapons of such power.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and called out, "See them out!"
Two disciples immediately walked in and said, "Please."
The Grandmaster had no choice but to stand up. Frowning, he asked,"Sect Master Ning, may I ask—was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect forced to disband by the Spirit Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi replied coldly, "For a mere academy instructor, you're sticking your nose in rather wide-reaching matters, aren't you?"
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's attitude worsening, the Grandmaster stopped beating around the bush and said directly,"I once worked in the Spirit Hall and know its true nature very well. On the surface, the Spirit Hall upholds justice, but behind the scenes it cruelly suppresses other Spirit Master forces. I've long despised its methods and have always wanted to stop it."
Ning Fengzhi laughed lightly. "With you?"
The Grandmaster said, "You should know—I belong to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If necessary, I can persuade the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to ally with you against the Spirit Hall. Moreover, Xue Qinghe is your disciple. The Heaven Dou Empire will surely stand on the side of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. With all this, what is there to fear?"
After saying that, the Grandmaster waved at Tang San. "Xiao San, go outside first."
Tang San didn't know why the Grandmaster wanted him to leave, but he stood up and walked out of the main hall.
Pointing outside, the Grandmaster smiled and said,"My disciple is named Tang San. His father is Tang Hao—the former Clear Sky Douluo. Think about it: if our alliance also includes the Clear Sky Sect, would we still fear the Spirit Hall?"
"Sect Master Ning, I've made everything perfectly clear. The Spirit Hall is not invincible. As long as we work together, we can surely stop its atrocities and bring peace back to the Spirit Master world and the Douluo Continent."
"If you still have any concerns, just say so. We can think of solutions together and overcome any difficulty."
Seeing that the Grandmaster was about to continue, Ning Fengzhi waved his hand impatiently."You may leave. Say no more."
The Grandmaster froze. He had already laid everything out so clearly. According to the plan he had just described, there was a great chance of defeating the Spirit Hall.
He couldn't understand why Ning Fengzhi still refused. What exactly was he worried about?
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the strongest sect of this era, with a glorious history. Are you really willing to let it be forced into disbandment by the Spirit Hall?" the Grandmaster raised his voice slightly.
Ning Fengzhi's expression remained indifferent. He gestured and said,"Throw him out."
Two disciples immediately stepped forward, grabbed the Grandmaster from left and right, and dragged him outside.
"Ning Fengzhi, what exactly are you afraid of? Believe me—the Spirit Hall is not unbeatable!"The Grandmaster struggled, failed to break free, and shouted back loudly.
"Wait," Ning Fengzhi said.
The two disciples stopped and turned around with the Grandmaster still in their grip.
The Grandmaster felt a surge of joy and said,"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been a sect that upholds justice—"
Ning Fengzhi cut him off and said,"Yu Xiaogang, for the sake of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect both being among the Upper Three Sects, I'll give you one piece of advice: don't oppose the Spirit Hall. The consequences are something you cannot bear—and you'll end up dragging others down with you."
After saying that, he waved his hand. The two disciples once again expressionlessly dragged the Grandmaster out.
By the time he was completely outside the hall, the Grandmaster was utterly dazed.
What did Ning Fengzhi's final words mean?Was the Spirit Hall truly that terrifying?
Recalling his time in the Spirit Hall, the Grandmaster remembered that he had once had a fairly good relationship with Bibi Dong. Through her, he learned that the Spirit Hall had more than twenty Titled Douluo.
Later, it seemed a few had been killed by Tang Hao. Even so, there should still be around twenty left.
If the Upper Three Sects joined forces, with the support of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters and the million-strong army of the Heaven Dou Empire, there was clearly a chance to defeat the Spirit Hall.
So why was Ning Fengzhi so resolute in refusing to oppose it?
The two disciples released the dazed Grandmaster and stood there watching him, preventing him from going back inside.
"Teacher," Tang San said worriedly when he saw the Grandmaster being dragged out.
The Grandmaster glanced back toward the interior, his gaze complicated. In the end, he sighed and said,"It's nothing. Let's go back."
Tang San hesitated, also glanced at the hall, then followed the Grandmaster away helplessly.
After they walked some distance, Tang San asked,"Teacher, does Ning Fengzhi still not want my hidden weapons?"
The Grandmaster sighed. "Yes. It seems he's completely made up his mind. We won't be able to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as an ally."
"Was the disbandment of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really forced by the Spirit Hall?" Tang San asked.
The Grandmaster nodded. "Nine times out of ten, it was the Spirit Hall. From our conversation, it was clear he's extremely wary of the Spirit Hall and even advised me not to oppose it."
"The Spirit Hall… is it really that domineering?" Tang San clenched his fist tightly.
If not for the Spirit Hall, his cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have succeeded.
At this moment, his impression of the Spirit Hall worsened even further.
Just then, a young girl in a pure white dress appeared in Tang San's field of vision. Her features were delicate, and she looked like an elf.
Ning Rongrong!
Tang San's body trembled.
