Chapter 147: Killing Emperor Xue Ye, Showing Loyalty
Ning Fengzhi's willingness to turn over a new leaf and pledge allegiance to Spirit Hall made Qian Renxue very happy.
However, for Ning Fengzhi to earn Qian Renxue's true trust, he had to personally kill Emperor Xue Ye.
This was Qian Renxue's test for Ning Fengzhi.
"Teacher, Xue Ye is not dead yet."
"I hope he can cooperate obediently and entrust everything of Heaven Dou Empire to me."
"But he is unwilling to do so!"
"Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire have been fighting for so many years, only bringing war to this world."
"Various forces are also carving up territories, with no one submitting to anyone else."
"This world always needs someone to stand up and unify the continent."
"Spirit Hall wants to end all of this, so it cannot be soft-hearted."
"Teacher, I leave Xue Ye's life and death to you."
Qian Renxue brought Ning Fengzhi to Emperor Xue Ye's bedchamber.
At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye was still in a coma, not yet awake.
However, Qian Renxue had someone give Emperor Xue Ye an unknown liquid, and he gradually showed signs of waking up.
Ning Fengzhi's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was conflicted.
He understood what Qian Renxue meant.
He either had to persuade Emperor Xue Ye to cooperate obediently or kill him.
There was no other choice besides that.
If Ning Fengzhi failed to do so, Qian Daoliu would appear and eliminate them here.
"Cough, cough…"
Accompanied by a cough, Emperor Xue Ye slowly woke up.
When he saw Ning Fengzhi's familiar figure, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Sect Master Ning, you've come to save me."
Hope ignited in Emperor Xue Ye's heart.
Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, Heaven Dou Empire's destiny has run its course."
"Spirit Hall's unification of the world is the general trend."
"For the sake of Heaven Dou Empire's citizens, Your Majesty, please abdicate."
Ning Fengzhi began to persuade Emperor Xue Ye.
If Emperor Xue Ye was willing to cooperate, things would be much easier.
Qian Renxue could control the entire empire more quickly.
"What!"
"Sect Master Ning… you…"
The hope that had just ignited in Emperor Xue Ye's heart was completely extinguished upon hearing these words.
He never expected that the lifeline he thought he had was actually already loyal to Spirit Hall.
At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye felt that life was meaningless.
"Your Majesty, why are you so stubborn!"
"The imperial family no longer has a legitimate Bloodline heir."
If Xue Beng hadn't died, the Heaven Dou Empire would still have a glimmer of hope.
But now, even Xue Beng is gone.
Ning Fengzhi's words were like a knife, deeply piercing Emperor Xue Ye's heart.
He was filled with regret at this moment.
If he had known this earlier, he would never have harmed Xue Beng back then.
But there's no medicine for regret in this world.
No matter how much Emperor Xue Ye regretted it, he couldn't change the outcome.
"Even if I die, I will not surrender the foundation of my ancestors."
"My Heaven Dou Empire's sons will fight you until the very last moment."
Emperor Xue Ye refused to give in.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but close his eyes.
He knew that Emperor Xue Ye was beyond saving.
"Uncle Bone, do it!"
Ning Fengzhi spoke helplessly.
Bone Douluo was silent for a moment, then finally released a bone spike, piercing through Emperor Xue Ye's chest.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire had maintained a good relationship over the years, Ning Fengzhi could not show mercy in this situation.
Emperor Xue Ye died with his eyes wide open.
He would rather die at the hands of Spirit Hall than at the hands of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's command, "Do it!" had wounded Emperor Xue Ye's heart even more deeply.
Qian Renxue silently watched all of this.
Ning Fengzhi had shown his stance, and she was very satisfied.
The fact that Ning Fengzhi could have Bone Douluo personally kill Emperor Xue Ye indicated that he was truly loyal to Spirit Hall.
"Youngster of the Ning family, as long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sincerely pledges allegiance to Spirit Hall, I, Qian Daoliu, will definitely not mistreat you."
Just then, Qian Daoliu appeared from nowhere.
He had been observing Ning Fengzhi ever since he approached the imperial palace.
The reason he hadn't appeared sooner was because he wanted to see what tricks Ning Fengzhi was trying to pull.
If the other party had any ill intentions, he would eliminate him immediately.
However, Ning Fengzhi had proven his sincerity, so Qian Daoliu no longer doubted him.
"Greetings to the great Angel God."
Ning Fengzhi dared not be negligent and respectfully saluted Qian Daoliu.
Although Qian Daoliu appeared approachable, Ning Fengzhi knew that a god was different from a human.
"Grandpa, since Teacher is willing to surrender, next we only need to eliminate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Heaven Dou Empire will be completely settled in no time."
Qian Renxue understood that the biggest trouble for the Heaven Dou Empire now was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Once the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was gone, the remaining rebellious forces would no longer be a concern.
Qian Daoliu nodded.
"Xue'er, within a month, Grandpa will personally deal with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
Qian Daoliu had this confidence and ability.
The strongest Beast Martial Soul Sect, an untouchable taboo in the eyes of outsiders, was nothing to Spirit Hall.
Even if Qian Daoliu didn't act, Golden Crocodile Douluo leading a team could destroy them.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to cooperate with Spirit Hall's battle."
Ning Fengzhi volunteered.
The auxiliary Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were indispensable in major wars.
In general team combat, auxiliary Soul Masters were the most sought after.
Whether for group hunting of Soul Beasts or large-scale battles, the role of auxiliary Soul Masters was extremely significant.
Especially the auxiliary Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who could affect many people simultaneously.
With the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Spirit Hall could achieve twice the result with half the effort in attacking any force.
"Sect Master Ning, your awareness is indeed very good."
"However, you are eager to show off, and you must have other motives."
"Everyone knows that you, Ning Fengzhi, are an old fox who doesn't like to suffer losses."
"Your initiative to request a fight must be for some gain."
Porcupinefish Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi with a serious expression.
He didn't believe that Ning Fengzhi would be willing to do something thankless.
Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly and did not hide it.
"I do have something in mind!"
"I want to exchange for a Beautiful Silk Tulip for my daughter."
"I believe everyone knows what significance this Immortal Herb holds for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"If possible, I am willing to pay any price."
Ning Fengzhi stated his request.
Porcupinefish Douluo raised an eyebrow and said no more.
He couldn't decide on such matters.
Qian Renxue pondered seriously.
After a long while, she said, "Yes!"
"As long as Teacher truly serves Spirit Hall, we will not be stingy with an Immortal Herb."
Qian Renxue knew that the value of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect far exceeded that of an Immortal Herb.
The Sect was as wealthy as an empire, and its auxiliary Soul Masters were also very useful.
Ning Rongrong, as a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, indirectly strengthened Spirit Hall after becoming stronger.
Qian Renxue had no reason to refuse.
To make a horse run, you have to feed it grass.
Giving Ning Fengzhi some benefits would make him more loyal in his service.
