Chapter 190: Go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect Again
The next morning, Wang Teng and Qian Renxue, accompanied by Natya and ten others, arrived near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate via a spatial passage.
Sky City had recorded spatial nodes using teleportation tokens at the strongholds of various major powers on the continent.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could be successfully brought under their banner today, then Natya and the others would merely be guests, but if they failed to do so, they would become unwelcome visitors.
With Natya and the others' strength, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even if they banded together, would be unable to resist.
Soon, the group arrived in front of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate.
Before the disciples guarding the mountain gate could even question them, Natya spoke first.
"Go inform School Master Ning, Sky City has arrived!"
"Ah~? Yes, Mianxia Natya, Spirit of War."
Although this disciple didn't yet know which power Sky City was, he recognized Natya.
As a disciple guarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate, it was natural to recognize some of the prominent figures on the continent to avoid any discourtesy.
Although Sky City was stronger than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Wang Teng was also a reasonable person, so he naturally prepared to try diplomacy before resorting to force.
Of course, if reason didn't work, then only fists would do the talking.
In this World, as long as one's fists were big enough, that was the truth!
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sect Hall, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were both present at this time.
Originally, only Ning Fengzhi was there; he had just rescued a misguided young woman and then began dealing with Sect affairs, only for Chen Xin and Gu Rong to arrive unexpectedly.
In fact, after Wang Teng and the others arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate, Chen Xin, who had a more sensitive perception, noticed them.
However, what Chen Xin perceived was not Natya and the others, but Wang Teng and Qian Renxue.
Natya and her companions, due to their impressive cultivation levels, controlled their spirit power very well, so unless Chen Xin specifically probed, he basically couldn't sense them.
But Wang Teng and Qian Renxue were different; both had only recently advanced to Spirit Douluo, and Wang Teng had absorbed another spirit ring some time ago, so he couldn't perfectly control his spirit power, which was why Chen Xin sensed them.
After Chen Xin detected two Spirit Douluo at the mountain gate, he naturally took another look.
This look revealed something extraordinary; he had only sensed two Spirit Douluo before, but unexpectedly, there were ten Titled Douluo beside them.
Of course, it was only because Chen Xin saw Natya and Wang Teng; otherwise, he might have directly taken Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong and fled by now.
Subsequently, Chen Xin sought out Gu Rong, who was completely unaware, and then came to the Sect Hall.
Before Chen Xin could say much, the disciple guarding the mountain gate entered.
"Sect Master, two Mianxia, people claiming to be from Sky City have arrived at the mountain gate; oh, and War Spirit Douluo is also there."
"Oh? From Sky City? How many people have come?"
Ning Fengzhi hadn't expected Sky City's people to be so fast; he and Chen Xin had only planned to visit Natya yesterday, and now Sky City was already making a move.
"Including War Spirit Douluo, there are twelve people in total."
"I understand."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, then turned to look at Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who hadn't had a chance to speak yet.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, let's go together to welcome our distinguished guests."
"Fengzhi, there are quite a few people from Sky City; among those twelve, there are two Spirit Douluo and ten Titled Douluo. And you absolutely wouldn't believe it, Wang Teng, War Spirit Douluo Natya's junior brother, is now a Spirit Douluo."
"What? Wang Teng is already a Spirit Douluo?"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened; he knew Wang Teng's age and immediately couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Yes, and he's an 88th-level Spirit Douluo."
Chen Xin had also been startled before; even though he had lived for many years, he had never seen such a monstrous young man.
"Cough cough, no matter what, if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. Let's go welcome them, lest people say my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is impolite."
Ning Fengzhi was a man of principles and naturally wouldn't be impolite.
Moreover, since Sky City hadn't directly attacked, it indicated that their visit to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School this time wasn't intended to cause immediate trouble.
If they truly wanted to cause trouble, they would have definitely come at night and directly made their move.
However, Ning Fengzhi wasn't careless; he knew that the Clear Sky Sect's destruction was carried out by Sky City, so he couldn't help but be wary.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong also nodded, their expressions becoming solemn.
If a fight truly broke out, they weren't confident they could block ten Titled Douluo.
Soon, in front of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate, Ning Fengzhi arrived with Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
"School Master Ning, two Mianxia, long time no see~"
Wang Teng was the first to greet them.
"Greetings to everyone from Sky City. How should I address Young Friend Wang Teng?"
Ning Fengzhi had guessed Wang Teng's identity; even before, Ning Fengzhi had suspected that Natya was primarily serving Wang Teng, which suggested that Wang Teng was very likely the City Lord of Sky City.
"Haha~, School Master Ning, titles don't really matter, anything is fine, but I am indeed the City Lord of Sky City."
Wang Teng didn't deny it; after all, coming today was about laying their cards on the table.
"Then I'll be thick-skinned and call you Virtuous Nephew!"
Ning Fengzhi also seized the opportunity; he had originally intended to ally with Sky City, so now he naturally had to be more proactive.
"Then, Uncle Ning, aren't you going to invite us in?"
Calling Ning Fengzhi 'Uncle Ning' was fine, after all, his own wife was Ning Fengzhi's disciple!
"Oh, I apologize, everyone, please come in quickly!"
Immediately, Ning Fengzhi invited Wang Teng and the others inside.
Inside the Sect Hall, Ning Fengzhi knew that important matters were to be discussed next, so he directly dismissed all other irrelevant people. Only Wang Teng's group, along with him, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, remained.
"Virtuous Nephew, could you please introduce everyone?"
Among Wang Teng's twelve, Ning Fengzhi had only met Wang Teng and Natya; he didn't recognize anyone else.
"Of course. Natya, please introduce yourselves."
To recruit people, simply offering benefits isn't enough; one must also show if their strength is sufficient.
"Natya, Spirit: Soul Shattering Blood Drinking Halberd, 97th-level Titled Douluo."
"Panic, Spirit: Eye of Death, 96th-level Titled Douluo."
"Smilla, Spirit: Elven Whisper, 96th-level Titled Douluo."
"Paris, Spirit: Blood Sacrifice Soul Severing Claw, 96th-level Titled Douluo."
"Bi Nuoxiu, Spirit: Extreme Flame Moon, 95th-level Titled Douluo."
"Ke Lahe, Spirit: Extreme Ice Moon, 95th-level Titled Douluo."
"Lois, Spirit: Sky Assassin, 95th-level Titled Douluo."
"Monica, Spirit: Slayer's Ghost-faced Broom, 95th-level Titled Douluo."
"Ying Wan, Spirit: Shadowless Sword, 95th-level Titled Douluo."
"Chatai, Spirit: Heavenly Ridge Heaven and Earth Sword, 95th-level Titled Douluo."
"!!!"
Not only was Ning Fengzhi shocked, but Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were beside him, were also equally stunned.
Previously, due to Natya and the others' strong spirit power control, they couldn't discern their specific spirit power levels, but they hadn't expected them all to be Titled Douluo with spirit power levels above 95.
Moreover, with their seven black and two red spirit ring configurations, the strength they could unleash would definitely be even higher, effectively adding another level.
Also, what was going on with this War Spirit Douluo Natya? How did her spirit power level increase so quickly?
When they first met at the Plain and Unremarkable Shop, Natya's spirit power level had just entered the Titled Douluo realm, but unexpectedly, she was now a 97th-level Titled Douluo.
What kind of feed did she grow up on? Are you sure she wasn't being pig-fed?
Chen Xin had a deep understanding of Natya's rapid increase in strength; the first time, he was careless and fought Natya to a mutual defeat.
The second time they sparred, he was already no match for her, and as for now, let alone Natya, he might not even be able to defeat these 95th-level Titled Douluo in front of him.
A spirit ring configuration of seven black and two red could easily allow for cross-level challenges against Titled Douluo without hundred-thousand-year spirit rings.
After a good while, Ning Fengzhi finally recovered his senses.
'With Sky City's formidable strength, is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still worthy of an alliance?'
This thought popped into Ning Fengzhi's mind.
Among allies, only those with similar strength could truly be allies; if the gap was too large, they would become subordinates.
"By the way, who is this young lady?"
Then, Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Qian Renxue.
"Haha, Uncle Ning, Xue'er is an old acquaintance of yours!"
Wang Teng laughed happily.
Giving Wang Teng a side-eye, Qian Renxue stood up and bowed to Ning Fengzhi.
"Greetings, Teacher!"
"Teacher?"
This single word, 'Teacher,' completely bewildered Ning Fengzhi.
"That's right, my little Xue'er is your disciple, Uncle Ning!"
"Uh, I don't recall taking a young lady as a disciple?"
Evidently, Ning Fengzhi failed to connect her with Xue Qinghe.
Qian Renxue didn't explain much, directly using the Angel Head Spirit Bone Skill—Disguise.
Soon, Qian Renxue changed her appearance and became Xue Qinghe.
"Qinghe?!"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened; he hadn't expected the woman in front of him to turn into his own disciple, Xue Qinghe.
"Teacher, it's me."
Qian Renxue nodded, then changed back to her female attire.
"This~, this~"
For a moment, Ning Fengzhi found it hard to accept.
Not only Ning Fengzhi, but Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were beside him, were also dumbfounded. Good heavens, this was too explosive!
The dignified Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was actually someone else in disguise, and a woman at that.
"Teacher, my real name is Qian Renxue, and I am from Spirit Hall."
When Qian Renxue said she was from Spirit Hall, Chen Xin on the side immediately became tense, releasing his Seven Kill Sword Spirit.
"Cough cough, Sword Douluo, could you please put away your Spirit first? Otherwise, if it causes a misunderstanding, it won't be good."
Seeing Chen Xin's actions, Wang Teng spoke. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't choose to make a move.
"Uncle Jian, put away your Spirit first!"
After all, School Master Ning was someone who had seen big scenes and quickly composed himself.
