Ning Fengzhi analyzed, "The borders between the two great empires have been blockaded. The Spirit Hall must be doing something unspeakable in the Star Luo Empire. I'm afraid war has already broken out."
As soon as his words fell, everyone in the council hall fell silent, and the atmosphere became even more oppressive.
After a moment, Grandmaster said in a deep voice, "We absolutely cannot let the Spirit Hall capture the Star Luo Empire. Otherwise, our Heaven Dou Empire will be in danger."
Then, he looked at Ning Fengzhi and pleaded, "Sect Leader Ning, His Majesty the Emperor is your disciple. This time, I must trouble you to enter the palace and request that His Majesty dispatch troops to assist the Star Luo Empire.
"The Spirit Hall is powerful, but occupying an entire empire is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a short time.
"As long as our Heaven Dou Empire reacts quickly, we will surely be able to strike them from behind and catch them off guard."
Ning Fengzhi was just about to speak when, at that moment, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out. Someone was approaching rapidly.
Everyone looked toward the doorway and saw Flender rushing in.
Grandmaster suddenly stood up, quickly pulled Flender to sit down, and poured him some tea.
"Boss Flender, tell us quickly, what exactly happened inside the Star Luo Empire?"
Flender panted heavily, drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then said, "The Spirit Hall sent troops to blockade the border between the two countries."
"We already know this news. Tell us why the Spirit Hall blockaded the border between the two countries."
We already know… Flender was stunned for a moment, but he quickly explained, "I didn't figure out what the Spirit Hall is doing either. Among the soul masters blockading the border, there is a Title Douluo. At the time, I wanted to secretly sneak into the Star Luo Empire to investigate, but I was almost caught by that Title Douluo."
Can't even do one thing properly, what use are you… This thought suddenly flashed through everyone's irritated minds, but considering Flender had rushed back with great effort, no one said it out loud.
Grandmaster looked at Ning Fengzhi and said, "Sect Leader Ning, then I'll have to trouble you to make a trip to the palace. We will escort you there."
Flender said with some surprise, "Sect Leader Ning, has your injury healed?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly, "My life has been preserved, but my cultivation has not yet recovered."
Flender swept his gaze around and asked in confusion, "Where are Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo seniors?"
Ning Rongrong replied, "My two grandfathers have gone to seek revenge against the Spirit Hall."
There was a faint look of worry between her brows.
Although her two grandfathers were Title Douluo, the Spirit Hall was so terrifying—would her two grandfathers be in danger?
Ning Fengzhi stood up, and Ning Rongrong quickly supported him.
Grandmaster, Flender, and Liu Erlong escorted Ning Fengzhi to the entrance of the imperial palace. After being announced, they finally entered the palace.
The guards led Ning Fengzhi to the entrance of the imperial study.
Ning Fengzhi stopped, turned around, and said, "Grandmaster, you all can stay here. I will speak with His Majesty about this matter."
Ning Fengzhi's heart had already become heavy. He needed to verify his suspicions. If this Xue Qinghe was no longer the original Xue Qinghe, or if he had already submitted to the Spirit Hall, then it would be best if this news did not reach Grandmaster and the others—at least not now.
Otherwise, Grandmaster and the others might never walk out of this imperial palace again.
Ning Fengzhi took out a cane from his soul tool and, leaning on it, entered the imperial study.
Inside the study, Qian Renxue was buried in handling government affairs. Hearing the sound, she raised her head.
Her expression was first one of shock. She hurriedly stood up and quickly walked to Ning Fengzhi's side.
"Teacher, long time no see. How did you end up like this? Who injured you?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at his disciple. The concerned expression on her face did not seem fake.
He sighed inwardly. If Xue Qinghe had submitted to the Spirit Hall, that would still be acceptable, after all, he was still a person of the Heaven Dou Empire and might still have a chance to change his mind.
But if this Xue Qinghe was truly an imposter, then it would be far too terrifying.
Ning Fengzhi showed a bitter smile on his face and said calmly, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School was destroyed by the Spirit Hall, and I was severely injured, completely becoming a cripple."
Qian Renxue showed a shocked expression and stood there dazed for a long time.
"Teacher, please sit down first. Take your time and tell me how the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School was destroyed by the Spirit Hall."
She helped Ning Fengzhi sit down and personally poured him tea.
Ning Fengzhi calmly observed Qian Renxue's expression and sighed inwardly. There was not a single flaw.
After taking a sip of tea, he slowly recounted the process of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School's destruction.
Qian Renxue clenched her fists tightly, her teeth gritted, and her face filled with anger.
"What a Spirit Hall, their actions are truly too overbearing and ruthless." She slammed the table and stood up.
Ning Fengzhi pressed down with his remaining hand and said, "Don't get angry. Afterward, I will have Sword Douluo come to the palace immediately to see you. Have you seen him?"
Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "Teacher, I have not seen Senior Sword Douluo."
"Dugu Bo was actually a person from the Spirit Hall. He approached you in order to join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School and then destroy it," Ning Fengzhi said quietly.
Qian Renxue's hair stood on end. She stood up with a face full of shock.
Such a realistic reaction made Ning Fengzhi feel doubtful in his heart. Could this really be Xue Qinghe, who had not submitted to the Spirit Hall?
It took a long time before Qian Renxue digested the news from Ning Fengzhi. Her expression became grave.
Ning Fengzhi said, "Besides informing you about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School this time, there is one other important matter."
"What other matter?" Qian Renxue's state seemed a bit distracted, as if she had been shaken by the previous events.
Ning Fengzhi sighed, "The Spirit Hall mobilized a large number of soul masters to blockade the border between the two great empires. Do you know about this?"
Qian Renxue nodded, "I have already received the news and was preparing to discuss it with Teacher. I didn't expect the teacher to come in person."
Ning Fengzhi looked at her and asked, "What do you think about this?"
Qian Renxue said, "The Spirit Hall has wild ambitions. Since they dared to act against the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, I'm afraid this time their target is the Star Luo Empire."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "I think the same. That's why I came this time, to ask you to dispatch troops and stop the Spirit Hall's atrocities."
Qian Renxue thought for a moment and slowly shook her head, "Teacher, before this matter is confirmed, it is best not to dispatch troops. What if the Spirit Hall is not targeting the Star Luo Empire?
"If we rashly dispatch troops, we will completely tear faces with the Spirit Hall."
Ning Fengzhi said, "If the Spirit Hall really attacks the Star Luo Empire and we still don't send troops to help, then it will be too late."
Qian Renxue smiled, "Teacher, rest assured. After all, it is a vast empire. The Star Luo Empire will not be destroyed so easily. We should wait first. The Spirit Hall cannot completely block all news.
"Once we have definite information, it won't be too late to dispatch troops.
"Moreover, while they fight like snipe and clam, we can benefit as the fisherman, right?"
Ning Fengzhi sighed, "So, you have decided not to dispatch troops for now?"
Qian Renxue nodded, "Teacher, you don't need to worry about this matter. I will keep paying attention to it."
"Very well. I hope you are right." Ning Fengzhi stood up and walked out leaning on his cane.
Qian Renxue quickly followed, "Teacher, you rarely come to the palace. Won't you stay a little longer?"
Ning Fengzhi said, "No need. I am recuperating peacefully at Shrek Academy now. If anything happens, you can send someone to notify me."
His expression remained calm, but his heart had already turned half cold.
According to his previous understanding of Xue Qinghe, he would never be so passive and evasive regarding the Spirit Hall's blockade operation this time.
This meant that his previous guess was very likely true.
After leaving the imperial study, Qian Renxue no longer accompanied him.
Ning Fengzhi looked up at the sky. Was the Douluo Continent truly about to change?
This disciple was no longer worthy of his trust.
Qian Renxue watched as Ning Fengzhi slowly departed under the escort of the Grandmaster and the other two. A trace of pity could not help but appear in her eyes.
She had just told Ning Fengzhi to wait for definite news before acting. By the time there was definite news, the Spirit Hall would probably have already occupied the Star Luo Empire.
Jiang Chen had deliberately spared Ning Fengzhi's life, so she naturally would not deal with him again. She could only deal with him perfunctorily.
