Tang San understood immediately and said nothing more.
A short while later, Ning Fengzhi's voice rang out from outside the door, "Brother Tang Hao."
"It's Brother Ning, come in." Tang Hao resumed his usual indifferent demeanor.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi led Sword Douluo and four Soul Douluo elders into the room.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, I'm relieved to see you're alright."
Tang Hao gave Tang San a wink, and Tang San suppressed his resentment and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Father-in-law. I have offended you in the past, please forgive me."
"It's alright, as long as things are cleared up. It's just a pity that Ye Qinghe got away with it; we all fell for his trick."
Tang San's address of "Father-in-law" made Ning Fengzhi overjoyed. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Tang Hao had already explained things clearly to Tang San, so he didn't need to waste any more words.
"What, has Bone Douluo already succeeded?" Tang Hao was worried that Ning Fengzhi would reveal his secret again, so he skipped over the previous topic.
"We don't know yet. It's only just the time to act. Even if we succeed, we won't receive news until after we leave the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace." Ning Fengzhi shook his head, then asked, "What I want to ask is, Brother Tang Hao, do you know Ye Qinghe's parents?"
Tang Hao frowned: "That kid's parents were just ordinary villagers in a small mountain village. It seems that Ye Qinghe's father had some talent as a Soul Master, which is why he was able to become a Soul Master by chance. However, those two died many years ago."
"
"Dead? Are you sure?" Ning Fengzhi asked excitedly. If so, then the plan would be 100% successful.
Tang San answered for Tang Hao, "I once heard Old Jack from Holy Soul Village say that Ye Qinghe's mother died after giving birth to him, and his father seems to be a Soul Master who went out to hunt for Soul Rings when he was two years old and never returned. He should be missing. But Father-in-law, you can rest assured that even if that person is still alive, he is only a Great Soul Master, at most a Soul Venerable, and will not affect our plans."
"That's good, that's good. Ye Qinghe's father is an old friend of the Fire Dragon Douluo. The two seem to have had an extraordinary relationship. I was really worried that he was also a Title Douluo. It seems that I was overthinking it."
Ning Fengzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted from his heart.
The four Soul Douluos who came with him all had smiles on their faces, but Sword Douluo had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Alright, since there are no problems over there, let's go discuss the plan to jointly fight against the Spirit Hall with Emperor Xueye. This will also help us create an alibi so that they won't suspect us," Tang Hao said impatiently.
"That's natural."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and led Tang Hao toward the Heavenly Dou Palace.
Soon, this so-called offensive and defensive alliance was established. Their alliance was very simple: when one side was attacked by the Spirit Hall, the other side would help.
Of course, compensation should be given afterward.
At the same time, in order to make it easier for Tang Hao to usurp the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future, he immediately agreed to become the sect's guardian elder.
This made Ning Fengzhi, who was unaware of the truth, extremely happy.
Before I knew it, I had drunk a few more glasses.
Only Sword Douluo felt increasingly terrified.
Sure enough, just as the banquet reached its climax, his ominous premonition came true.
A royal knight entered the hall, and Emperor Xueye, who had also drunk a few cups, scolded, "Didn't I say there was nothing wrong and you shouldn't bother me?"
The Royal Knight of the Heavenly Dou Kingdom said anxiously, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
Ning Fengzhi thought Gu Rong had succeeded and was overjoyed. He said unhurriedly, "Don't rush, speak slowly. With His Majesty, the four dignitaries, and the four elders of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School here, the sky won't fall."
Upon hearing this, the Royal Knights of Tiandou remained silent and instead looked at Xue Ye.
Emperor Xueye said, "Since Sect Master Ning has asked you to speak, then speak."
The Heavenly Dou Royal Knight respectfully reported, "News has just arrived from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Not long ago, a tragedy occurred there. One hundred and eight direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, including Sect Master Ning's fourteen sons, died in their homes. All of them had their heads cut off, and their deaths were extremely gruesome."
"Oh...so it's because one hundred and eight direct disciples, including my fourteen sons, died tragically. That's truly a case of the heavens being jealous of talent...Wait, what did you say? My sons, along with over a hundred direct disciples, all died?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, who had been somewhat dazed, instantly sobered up.
Emperor Xueye, who had also sobered up, hurriedly asked, "Is the news confirmed? Is it confirmed?"
The others had various expressions.
Sword Douluo glanced at Ning Fengzhi, his disappointment growing, and couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.
While Tang Hao was shocked, he was secretly overjoyed. Losing so many direct disciples at once, including all of Ning Fengzhi's sons, would save him the trouble of settling scores when he usurped the throne.
Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo made no attempt to hide their schadenfreude.
"The message was delivered by a steward from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he's waiting outside now," the Royal Knight of the Heavenly Battle replied.
"Quickly, bring him in. No, I'll go myself. Uncle Jian, go and bring Rongrong here. Brother Tang, and the four elders, come with me."
Ning Fengzhi, disregarding everyone else present, rushed out of the Heavenly Dou Hall immediately, followed closely by the four elders. Tang Hao raised an eyebrow and then followed as well.
Before long, only Xue Ye, Dugu Bo, and Liu Erlong remained in the main hall.
"Mr. Dugu, Dean Liu... could it be that the Spirit Hall has made its move?"
On this snowy night, I was at a loss for what to do.
Liu Erlong shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Given the Pope's character, if it really were the Spirit Hall, then far more than just these 108 direct disciples would have been wiped out. It's more likely that this Grand Master Ning has made enemies somewhere."
Dugu Bo smiled and agreed, "Dean Liu is right. Ning Fengzhi may appear to be a gentleman, but he has secretly done a lot of things to assassinate geniuses from other sects. Perhaps he has met his match this time."
Upon hearing their words, Emperor Xueye breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't the Spirit Hall.
If it really is the Spirit Hall, then his Heaven Dou Empire is in danger.
But then again, if it's not the Spirit Hall, then who could it be?
Xueye subconsciously glanced at the gloating Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong. Could it be them? No, they had the motive, but they had been with him all along and hadn't had the opportunity. So the most likely culprit was Dean Liu's old friend.
After all, Ning Fengzhi suddenly and unusually paid such a high price to reconcile with Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong, and at this critical moment, he proposed to form some kind of offensive and defensive alliance.
This is extremely abnormal.
Now, returning to the original intent, perhaps this opportunity can be used to stall Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong, allowing that Bone Douluo to secretly take action against Ye Qinghe.
This led to retaliation from Liu Erlong's old friend, who was also Ye Qinghe's father.
