Douluo: A Yin, the weapon spirit, master of both bow and sword

Chapter 97: Cede Territory and Pay Compensation, You Know

"Master of the Ye Clan, Ye Ping'an."

"The leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is Ning Fengzhi."

When Ye Tianxing met Ning Fengzhi for the first time, his first impression was that he was an old fox, the kind who was shrewd and calculating, and who was willing to set his sights on himself for the future of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

On the contrary, Ning Fengzhi's first impression of Ye Ping'an only existed in the past list of students of Shrek Academy.

He had once planned to let Sword Douluo Chen Xin go to Shrek Academy in person to recruit disciples, but later due to the conflict between Ye Ping'an and Ning Rongrong, this idea was abandoned.

Now that they met for the first time, Ning Fengzhi came to the conclusion that Ye Ping'an's eyes were too clear, so clear that they were no different from those of young boys who were ignorant of the world and had just started out.

However, Ning Fengzhi was cautious.

A twelve-year-old boy went to the mainland alone and founded a sect with his own strength. He also helped the famous Dugu Bo and the Yu clan, one of the four affiliated clans of the Haotian Sect, to successfully join the Ye clan.

Ning Fengzhi couldn't imagine how prosperous and flourishing Yemen would be in the future given the current favorable environment.

In comparison, the current Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is no longer what it used to be. In order to avoid the double attack from Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall, it had no choice but to rely on the Tiandou Royal Family in order to survive.

Ning Fengzhi, as the sect leader, felt both aggrieved and helpless.

"Welcome Sect Master Ning to our sect." Ye Tianxing greeted him with a smile, and then saw Ning Rongrong standing behind Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chenxin.

Compared to the lawless little witch in Soto City, Ning Rongrong at that time was much more mature and stable, and the sect had undergone earth-shaking changes. If Ning Rongrong continued to be so dissolute, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would have no future.

"Classmate Ning Rongrong, long time no see." Ye Tianxing said with a smile.

"You... Sect Master Ye, hello." Ning Rongrong smiled after saluting, because Ye Ping'an's identity was different at that time. The sect with a Titled Douluo in charge was enough to be on par with today's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. He was a figure on par with her father Ning Fengzhi.

After both sides sat down, they looked at each other. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be neighbors in the future.

The Ye Sect where Ye Tianxing is located is backed by the Sunset Forest, which is not as safe as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect which is built next to Tiandou City.

"Sect Master Ye is truly extraordinary. He single-handedly established the sect at such a young age. He has masters like Senior Niu Gao under his command, and the renowned Poison Douluo is in charge. The future of the Ye Sect is destined to be extraordinary."

He starts by complimenting me, as expected of a businessman.

Ye Tianxing smiled and said, "Master Ning, you are too polite. Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has been hit by the Spirit Hall and has temporarily subsided, I believe that there will always be a way out. Just as the phoenix will eventually be reborn, temporary suffering is nothing and will soon pass."

The suffering will soon pass, because Ye Tianxing will end you with his own hands.

"Thank you for your good wishes, Sect Master Ye. I hope so." Ning Fengzhi sighed secretly. The situation has become increasingly serious in recent days. As soon as the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect show their heads, they will be killed by the people under the Spirit Hall.

Since the establishment of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi had never seen the Spirit Hall get so angry that many disciples would be terrified and rush out to fight when they heard the three words "Spirit Hall".

Ning Fengzhi regretted cooperating with Tang Hao, but it was too late to say anything now, because the Spirit Hall didn't listen to Ning Fengzhi's excuses at all and just said four words.

"Till death!"

"Sect Master Ning has come to our sect in person. It is not just to welcome me, your new neighbor. I am a straightforward person. Just say whatever you want to say." Ye Tianxing asked straight to the point.

Ning Fengzhi had a gentle smile on his face. "As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Since we will be neighbors in the future, I would like to seek cooperation with you on behalf of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

"Cooperation? The Spirit Hall is now the enemy of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. We, the Ye Sect, only wish to enjoy a peaceful life and do not wish to be involved in unnecessary disputes." Ye Tianxing flatly refused. Are you kidding me? You're still trying to cooperate with me? Do you want more people to share the burden? Or do you see Ye Ping'an as young and immature, and you, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, want to swallow him up and strengthen yourself?

Ning Fengzhi said that he wanted both of them, as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could not afford any more trouble.

"Sect Master Ning, although I don't know why the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is hostile to the Spirit Hall, there is a different way to resolve the conflict between you two." Ye Tianxing smiled, but it was actually a smirk, because he had already thought of how to deal with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

"Oh!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Master Ye, please tell me frankly."

Ye Tianxing was silent for a moment, then said, "You know about ceding land and paying compensation."

"..."

Ning Fengzhi's face immediately darkened, and Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, her face full of dissatisfaction and humiliation.

For a moment, the huge reception room was unusually quiet!
The silence was broken by a cold snort. It turned out to be Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who looked at Ye Ping'an with a frown and a cold gaze. He said in a questioning tone, "Ye Ping'an! What do you mean? You are humiliating my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

Ye Tianxing laughed when he heard this: "It's not someone else who humiliated your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but you yourselves who don't know yourselves."

"His Majesty Sword Douluo was defeated and his arm broken in Soto City, and Bone Douluo died in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Not only did countless of his disciples die and were injured, but he also became a vassal of the Heaven Dou Empire. This is a different time now."

Ning Fengzhi continued to remain silent. Ye Ping'an uncovered the scars in his heart, which made him feel heartbroken. Recalling the miserable state of his disciples and Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi felt like dying.

"Ye Ping'an! Do you know what you are saying?" Jian Douluo stood up, his eyes like swords, and the aura unique to a Titled Douluo suddenly pressed down on him.

"He told the truth."

At this moment, a vicissitudes of life voice was heard. Everyone looked back and saw Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo coming together. They all heard what was said just now.

"Long time no see, Sword Douluo, Sect Master Ning." Dugu Bo smiled at the two of them as a greeting, but Ning Rongrong was the only one trembling all over. This was the Poison Douluo who killed people without blinking an eye. I really don't know how Ye Ping'an got along with him.

(Ye Tianxing: Treat sincerity with sincerity)

In the Spirit Hall, Ye Tianxing is Ye Tianxing, and outside he is Ye Ping'an.

Dugu Bo said coldly, "Your Majesty Sword Douluo, is our Sect Master wrong? Times have changed. Is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect still considered a top force on the continent? What's wrong with ceding territory and paying compensation?"

"In previous years, during the wars between the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, the Xingluo Empire always prevailed over the Tiandou Empire. They relied on ceding territory and paying indemnities to get to where they are today."

"If it were your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, wouldn't it be okay? Are you trying to humiliate you? I don't think so. Sect Master Ning has condescended to become the Imperial Master, and you, Sword Douluo, have become the Protector of the Nation. It's come to this point, what else is there to hold back on?"

"Dignity or what you call the face of the sect?"

Dugu Bo looked directly at Ning Fengzhi and asked calmly, "Sect Master Ning, which is more important, the reputation of the sect or the life of the disciples?"

Faced with Dugu Bo's question, Ning Fengzhi remained silent.

"A swan stuck in the mud still wants to fly high?" Yang Wudi sneered.

"If I hadn't seen it, you must be Yang Wudi from the Poyi clan." Ning Fengzhi recognized Yang Wudi's identity.

"It's down."
