Chapter 167 The Second Elder Who Escaped a Calamity

If it were Tang Chen who came back before.

The Second Elder would be very happy and would even risk his life to support him.

But now, the Second Elder has a lot to worry about. People with narrow minds won't just let their current actions pass by.

In his opinion, Tang Hao was not a particularly magnanimous person.

Now that Tang Xiao, who left the sect, is dead, he might do something to vent his anger on them.

This is one aspect.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party doesn't care at all, since the Haotian Sect is basically made up of close relatives, like family.

Everything before was a 'misunderstanding'.

"What's there to say? I am now an elder of the Extreme Research Institute."

After watching the Second Elder finish speaking, Lieyang Douluo breathed a sigh of relief.

He did hesitate when he received the message.

But only for a moment.

Instead of gambling on Tang Hao, he might as well continue following the Extreme Research Institute.

“My decision has always been clear; now it’s about what you need to do.”

He didn't intend to waver; in any case, even if they lost, the Haotian Sect would still exist.

As for the Extreme Research Institute, they won, and now they also have a place in the Extreme Research Institute.

Whether it was the falling out with Tang Hao back then or the benefits offered by the Extreme Research Institute.

There is absolutely no way he would shamelessly approach Tang Hao.

Even if Tang Chen, a legendary figure from their Haotian Sect, is on the other side.

The other party's appearance was indeed shocking, but that was all.

"..."

The Second Elder listened to the resolute words of the Blazing Sun Douluo.

Thinking about all the things that have happened recently, I finally let out a sigh of relief.

"I'll cooperate with whatever you want to do."

He might have considered betting on both sides, but seeing Lieyang Douluo, he gave up.

I feel that doing that would only please neither side and would also affect Lieyang Douluo, and might even get us caught by the other side.

That would make it even less valuable.

Perhaps, when he came here, he was also testing the waters.

As he had this thought, Lieyang Douluo looked out of the courtyard.

"Then I hope the Second Elder will cooperate well."

Several figures moved swiftly from a short distance away, arriving in the blink of an eye, just in time to see the situation of the two.

Besides Ning Fengzhi, the visitors included Dugu Bo, Yu Yuanzhen, Gu Rong, and even several titled Douluo who had broken through to the next level, including the Grand Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Through extensive accumulation, after obtaining the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the God-given Soul Ring, he directly became a level 93 Title Douluo with a 100,000-year Soul Ring, making him one of the top beings on the continent.

A support-type Soul Master can reach this level; it's practically the only one on the continent right now.

The presence of this lineup here still puts immense pressure on everyone, especially the Second Elder of the Haotian Sect.

He looked at Lieyang Douluo with displeasure, and the other party's unsurprised expression made it clear.

The other party didn't just notify him; perhaps he made a different choice just now, and this is his end.

"You're doing great, Seventh Brother..."

He was speaking through gritted teeth.

Although I was prepared, being sold out like this is really uncomfortable.

"Everything is for the research institute."

"For the Dean."

Putting everything else aside, he truly saw the future in Ning Qinghe and in the Extreme Research Institute.

Lieyang Douluo wasn't embarrassed at all, speaking generously as he got up and headed towards Ning Fengzhi and the others. This feeling was something he hadn't experienced before on Haotian Sect Mountain.

A feeling of a bright future.

They appeared here.

It was all arranged by him; he sent people after the Second Elder had almost arrived, which is why the timing was so coincidental.

"Elder Lieyang, is it true that you had someone deliver a message?"

Ning Fengzhi arrived immediately upon receiving the news, even putting aside all his previous discussions with the Spirit Hall.

Their gazes fell upon the three figures on the scene: Tang Hao and Tang Chen, who were now the targets of their Extreme Research Institute's surveillance.

If we can find their trail, or even take care of them, it would allow Qinghe to relax a bit.

Ning Fengzhi even considered whether their current all-out effort from the Extreme Research Institute would give them a chance to defeat the other side.

I'm also a little worried. Chen Xin and Yang Wudi, two high-level combatants, aren't here right now; otherwise, our chances of winning might be even greater.

"It's true, that Tang Hao appeared in Qibao City, and that fake Tang Chen was with him."

“They’ve sent people to contact us now, probably intending to create internal strife and give him and that fake Tang Chen an opportunity.”

Lieyang Douluo spoke directly and bluntly.

They even went so far as to define Tang Chen as a fake.

This made the Second Elder stare at the other party with wide eyes.

They have the strength to cause heavy losses to the Spirit Hall, and they dare to contact the Clear Sky Sect so openly. Could they really be in disguise?
But considering Lieyang Douluo's decision, he didn't say anything more.

This way, at least they'll have less of a bad reputation for betraying their master and ancestors.

In any case, all of this was Tang Hao's conspiracy and had nothing to do with them.

Lieyang Douluo's words made Ning Fengzhi pause for a moment, and he gave the other party a deep look.

It was as if they wanted to see right through each other.

And Lieyang Douluo was also upright and honest, without a trace of falsehood.

"Tang Hao is truly still harboring wicked intentions."

"We need more information about Elder Lieyang this time."

"If we can take down Tang Hao and his group, Elder Lieyang will be credited with the greatest achievement."

Seeing that the other party was completely unashamed, Ning Fengzhi felt a little guilty himself.

No matter what, he was a sect leader of a major sect, but now, he was a little insecure because Ning Qinghe was not around.

The main problem is that Tang Chen and Tang Hao have come knocking on our door.

Although the people from the Spirit Hall weren't in Seven Treasures City, they were in roughly the same location, in Heaven Dou City, not far away.

Their target was very clear: the young master of the Spirit Hall.

They had already had one conversation, but it didn't go well. The other party was unaware of the Pope's existence and was unwilling to cooperate in capturing anyone. They also wanted to see the young master of the Spirit Hall, so nothing was settled.

Of course, he had already secured the benefits; they were already in Ning Fengzhi's hands before the negotiations even began.

This allowed him to successfully absorb the soul bone that had been there for tens of thousands of years, enabling Ning Fengzhi to break through to level ninety.

Now, all he needs to do is absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring, and he can become a Title Douluo with a lifespan of 100,000 years.

It's a pity that Ning Qinghe, a key figure, was gone at this time.

This left him helpless.

"Tang Hao, that guy still dares to come over."

"And that Tang Chen, I don't know if the other party is real or fake."

"Since I can't witness the strength of Qian Daoliu, perhaps I can have some fun with this Tang Chen."

Gu Rong, who already possessed two 100,000-year spirit rings, was quite delighted at the thought of a suitable opponent appearing.

In his view, with his current strength and indestructible body, he has no fear of a level 99 Peerless Douluo.

Perhaps we can break through this pressure.
