After waiting for a while, Qian Renxue arrived.
Qian Renxue had all her guards remain outside the forest and came alone under Flender's guidance.
This demonstrated her respect for the Clear Sky Sect.
"Qinghe, Feng'er, and Xiao San you've all met before. This is Sect Master Tang, this is Haotian Douluo, and this is Bai He, the clan leader of the Min Clan!"
Ning Fengzhi introduced everyone to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue warmly greeted Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Bai He.
Though Tang Hao was her father's killer, Qian Renxue still welcomed him with a smile for the sake of her grand plan to usurp the empire.
"My father already knows what happened in Sunset Forest. The Spirit Hall's blatant elimination of dissidents and suppression of talents has made him very angry.
Your sect has always been an important force supporting the empire. My father has decided to fully support your sect's development. Whether it's hunting Spirit Beasts or various resources, the empire will do everything to meet your needs!"
Qian Renxue spoke with conviction, as if she would spare no expense for the Clear Sky Sect.
The terms she offered were indeed favorable.
Last time, the Spirit Hall had dealt a heavy blow to the surrounding Soul Hunting Forests.
Soul Masters from the Clear Sky Sect had to hunt Spirit Beasts covertly.
With the cooperation of the Heaven Dou Empire, things would become much easier.
Tang Xiao was immediately pleased, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, your help is truly timely. We are deeply grateful.
Henceforth, whenever the empire has needs, our Clear Sky Sect will spare no effort!"
Both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Clear Sky Sect shared the intention to deal with the Spirit Hall. With Qian Renxue's sincere attitude, the two sides smoothly reached a cooperation agreement.
"The Clear Sky Sect's headquarters isn't far from Heaven Dou City. Our three parties should watch each other's backs and join forces against our powerful enemy!"
Ning Fengzhi said with satisfaction.
Compared to the Spirit Hall, the combined strength of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Clear Sky Sect might be lacking in top-tier power, but they could still manage self-defense.
Qian Renxue and Tang Xiao both smiled, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
Dugu Feng didn't participate in the discussion. He stood beside Ning Fengzhi along with Ning Rongrong.
They were there as the younger generation.
In this situation, Qian Renxue and Tang Xiao naturally viewed the Dugu Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as one entity.
After all, they were aware of the relationship between Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong.
After a short while, Qian Renxue, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Tang San, Bai He, Flender, and the others all left.
Dugu Feng knew very well that Tang San would next go to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer's secret techniques.
"Hurry up and grow stronger, Tang San. Otherwise, even exploiting you would be beneath me!"
Dugu Feng sneered inwardly.
By now, only Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Dugu Feng, and Ning Rongrong remained by the lake.
"Nephew, your strength has improved quite rapidly!" Ning Fengzhi spoke much more casually with Dugu Feng.
The more the father-in-law looked at his future son-in-law, the more pleased he became.
His son-in-law's abilities were even superior to Tang San's.
He had a feeling that even if Tang San eventually cultivated his Twin Soul Spirits to the Titled Douluo level, he still wouldn't be a match for his son-in-law.
Dugu Feng always gave off an impression of depth and unfathomability.
Ning Fengzhi didn't dare to underestimate him.
"I've been in seclusion training recently and haven't dared to slack off at all.
By the way, Uncle Ning, Your Excellency, in a few days, I plan to take Rongrong on a journey across the continent for experience. What do you think?"
Dugu Feng suddenly said.
This had been his idea for a long time.
Now with the Overlord Venom and the powerful Emerald Dragon Snake, he had no worries about self-preservation.
His true strength was comparable to Tang Hao and Tang Xiao when they roamed the continent as Soul Saints.
"Great! I've been bored staying in Heaven Dou City and have long wanted to travel across the continent!"
Before Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo could speak, Ning Rongrong had already jumped up.
She couldn't wait!
Traveling the continent with her beloved—what a happy thing that would be.
"Oh, and with Dugu Feng protecting me, Father, you don't need to arrange any protective Soul Masters for me!" Ning Rongrong added.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had no choice but to agree. How could they refuse?
"Uncle Ning, Your Excellency, rest assured. With my strength, protecting Rongrong won't be a problem at all.
Look at this!"
With a movement of his hands, the two Emerald Dragon Snakes coiled around Dugu Feng's wrists floated beside him.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were both startled.
When Dugu Feng was young and sparred with Ning Rongrong, Feng Ling, and Feng Li, he had once used the Nine-Section Jadeite.
Back then, they knew Dugu Feng had two pet snakes.
But now, it seemed the snakes' strength was beyond imagination.
"This is the evolved form of the Nine-Section Jadeite—the Emerald Dragon Snake. Their age is close to thirty thousand years, their innate skills are powerful, their bodies are impervious to blades, and they master both poison and extreme speed.
With these two Emerald Dragon Snakes, no one can harm Rongrong and me!"
Dugu Feng said confidently.
"Nephew, you truly continue to impress me. Very well, I agree to your continental journey.
However, the continent is currently unstable, so you must be cautious!"
Ning Fengzhi advised.
Though he worried about his daughter, he had full confidence in Dugu Feng.
Dugu Feng was definitely low-key and never sought the spotlight.
"Thank you, Uncle Ning. I understand!"
Dugu Feng agreed.
After Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo finished their instructions, they left Blue Tyrant Academy directly.
On the way, Ning Fengzhi sighed to Sword Douluo, "The Dugu Family has never had such powerful Emerald Dragon Snakes in previous generations. I suspect these two snakes gained some opportunity in Slaughter City and evolved.
This young man is quite impressive, Sword Uncle. What do you think of him?"
Sword Douluo was speechless. He's practically your son-in-law—what can I say?
You just want to hear me praise him.
"A sixteen-year-old Soul King is unheard of. If he maintains his cultivation speed, he might even surpass me!"
Sword Douluo honestly shared his thoughts.
"Haha, I think so too. Rongrong is already approaching Soul King level and will likely become a Titled Douluo in the future.
If we can shelter them for another twenty years, the world will be theirs!"
Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily.
"Fengzhi, don't forget Tang San. Tang San has Twin Soul Spirits. If he becomes a Titled Douluo, the Clear Sky Sect will have eight Titled Douluos.
Moreover, their next generation is growing up, and their strength is becoming quite alarming!"
Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes, equally wary of the Clear Sky Sect.
Ning Fengzhi smiled meaningfully. "The Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect are bound to fight to the death.
The one who should worry about the Clear Sky Sect's strength is the Spirit Hall, not us!"
Sword Douluo was momentarily stunned.
"You crafty Fengzhi, you're as shrewd as ever. I just hope Dugu Feng and Rongrong grow quickly.
At the same level, Dugu Feng is far stronger than Dugu Bo.
An ultimate Poison Douluo—just thinking about his destructive power is terrifying!"
Sword Douluo also understood Ning Fengzhi's intentions.
Aligning with the Clear Sky Sect to maintain the continent's balance of power, creating time for Ning Rongrong and the others to grow.
Even Sword Douluo admired Ning Fengzhi's shrewdness.
If Dugu Feng knew Ning Fengzhi's thoughts,
He would surely sigh and say: "Your plan is excellent, but unfortunately there's a madwoman like Bibi Dong who won't play by your rules."
