Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong excitedly rushed over, then, like a light butterfly, threw herself into his arms, saying with a touch of grievance and coquettishness:
"Dad, why are you only coming now? Do you know how scared Rongrong was just now?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi gently stroked his daughter's hair, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda slowly rotating in his palm, and softly comforted her, "Rongrong, isn't Daddy just trying to protect His Highness the Crown Prince's safety? I knew that with Poison Douluo's protection, you would be alright."
"Hmph, all you ever say is that!" Ning Rongrong pouted, gently poking her father's shoulder with her slender finger, and said irritably:
"In your heart, is His Highness the Crown Prince more important than your daughter? Those bad guys almost hurt me just now!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly, lightly tapped his daughter's nose with his fingertip, and said:
"Silly girl, how could your father not care about you? It's just that as the head of a sect, I have certain responsibilities to bear. Look, I came here immediately after making arrangements for His Highness the Crown Prince."
As he spoke, he took out a crystal-clear jade pendant from his pocket and tied it around his daughter's waist.
"This is a talisman left by your mother; it will surely protect you."
Originally, when Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo appeared, Sword Douluo had already proposed to help Tianxing Academy, after all, his beloved granddaughter Ning Rongrong was among them.
However, Ning Fengzhi rejected this suggestion.
He wanted to observe for a while longer, after all, the Spirit Hall's foundation and strength were too great, and if he was not careful, it might bring great disaster to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
If you want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to help you, the other party must also be of value!
At the same time, Dugu Bo had already walked towards Tang Chuan.
He carefully examined the boy, confirming that although the boy had been through a fierce battle, he was unharmed, before letting out a sigh of relief and asking, "Kid, are you alright?"
"Not only are you unharmed, but you've also gained a great deal!" Tang Chuan shook his head slightly, looked at Dugu Bo, and revealed a meaningful smile.
Just as the Spirit Hall members retreated...
The Red King's enormous figure also vanished.
No sooner had Dugu Bo arrived than Ning Fengzhi followed. His gaze fell on Tang Chuan, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, before he asked with a hint of deeper meaning:
"Young friend Tang Chuan, I never expected you to have such a great opportunity, obtaining a 100,000-year soul ring at such a young age. I also never expected that there would be a 100,000-year soul beast hidden in Shrek Academy."
"But why would she choose to sacrifice herself for you?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm afraid she doesn't want to sacrifice herself for me, but rather for Tang San."
"What did you say? You mean she sacrificed this 100,000-year-old soul beast to the wrong person?" Ning Fengzhi's fingers tightened slightly as he asked incredulously.
"She was originally going to sacrifice Tang San." Tang Chuan's expression was very calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. He said, "My simulation soul skill interfered with her judgment."
This seemingly casual explanation sent shockwaves through the hearts of the two powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of the continent. To deceive a 100,000-year-old soul beast into sacrificing itself for them? What an unbelievable ability!
Ning Fengzhi quickly suppressed his shock and turned his gaze to the deep claw marks on the distant cliff. These were the marks left by the Crimson King when he left. He carefully chose his words, trying to unravel this intricate web of relationships, "Then who was that soul beast that appeared to help just now...?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan simply waved his hand. As the young man turned, his robes fluttered, casting a long shadow in the setting sun. He then turned his head and gave a meaningful glance, saying:
"Sect Leader Ning."
"Some things are better left unsaid; the less you know, the better."
After saying this, he didn't linger and walked straight towards the carriage of Tianxing Academy.
"Sect Leader Ning, thank you for your help earlier!" Dugu Bo bowed slightly, glanced at Ning Fengzhi, flicked his dark green robe sleeves, and silently followed behind.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin only spoke slowly after their figures disappeared into the sunset:
"Fengzhi, this..."
Ning Fengzhi watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in his hand swirling with colorful light, and murmured softly, "It seems that a storm is brewing on this continent."
…………
Meanwhile, not far away.
The setting sun dyed the ravaged battlefield blood red. Liu Erlong was kneeling on the scorched earth, her disheveled hair stained with tears and clinging to her cheeks.
She hugged herself tightly to her chest, as if protecting the most precious treasure in the world.
It was a pure white rabbit, its soft fur shimmering with a faint pinkish sheen, and it was now nestled obediently in her trembling arms.
This is the scene that greeted the master and Flanders when they rushed over.
"Erlong, what... what's wrong with you?" The master stepped forward quickly, his usually calm face filled with confusion and worry. He had never seen Liu Erlong so distraught. Even when she was separated from her family back then, she stubbornly bit her lip and refused to shed a tear.
Liu Erlong raised her tearful eyes, and the tears flowed even more profusely the moment she saw the master and Flander.
She opened her mouth, but only managed to let out broken sobs.
Flander adjusted his crooked glasses, gently patted her shoulder, and said, "Second Sister, what... what's wrong with you? Where's Xiao Wu? We just saw a red light shooting into the sky from afar..."
This sentence seemed to open a floodgate.
She sobbed again, and Liu Erlong carefully presented the white rabbit in her arms to the two of them. When the master took the unusually docile rabbit, she finally choked out, "..."
"This is Xiao Wu..."
Under the shocked gazes of her two old friends, she recounted in fits and starts everything she had just witnessed: how Xiao Wu exposed her identity in the face of death, how the blood-red pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth was formed, and how Tang Chuan used a strange soul skill to trick Tang San out of the soul ring and soul bone that should have belonged to him.
"What?!"
"Erlong, are you telling the truth? No—"
Upon hearing this news, the master abruptly took a half-step back, nearly dropping the white rabbit in his arms. He clutched his throbbing chest, his face instantly turning deathly pale, and said:
"You're saying Xiao Wu was originally a 100,000-year-old soul beast? She was originally supposed to sacrifice herself to Xiao San, but then that bastard Tang Chuan tricked her?"
Flander hurriedly supported the swaying master, his eyes behind his glasses wide open, his face also filled with disbelief, and he stood there stunned.
Looking at the unusually quiet rabbit in the master's arms, he finally understood why he always sensed a faint, strange aura whenever he approached Xiao Wu.
At that moment, the white rabbit gently twitched its ears in the master's arms, its ruby-like eyes reflecting the last rays of sunset, as if still holding the unspoken longing of a young girl.
A few hours later.
Outside the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, deep in the dense forest, dappled shadows of trees swayed like ghostly claws.
Several men in black roughly threw an unconscious blonde woman onto the ground covered with fallen leaves. The faint golden aura around her contrasted eerily with the darkness of the forest.
"Damn, this woman is too heavy!" An old man pulled off his mask, propped himself up on his knees, and gasped for breath. "Vice-chief, why don't we just drain her blood right here?"
Upon hearing this, the deputy clan leader slowly lifted the black mask from his face, revealing a sinister face that flickered in and out of the shadows of the trees. It was none other than Yu Luomian, Liu Erlong's father!
"Drawing blood from the vein? That's such a waste!"
Slowly crouching down, Yu Luomian's withered fingers traced the golden-haired woman's neck, a greedy glint in his cloudy eyes. He said in a deep voice, "This is the bloodline of the Golden Dragon. Of course, we must take it back to the clan and raise it properly to continue the family line. Only in this way can we maximize the continuation of this bloodline."
Upon hearing this, the other man in black licked his chapped lips and said:
"Vice Chieftain, should we finish this here first and then go back?" After saying that, the group exchanged glances, revealing a knowing, wicked look in their eyes.
Yu Luomian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He then removed his clothes, knelt down, and pressed one knee against the blonde woman's petite body, sneering:
"Alright, let's get this done sooner rather than later, lest things get complicated."
