Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Six months later, inside the main hall of the Wuji Sect.

Chrysanthemum Douluo sat in the head seat on the right, leisurely sipping his tea, while Ning Fengzhi sat in the head seat on the left, with the serene Sword Douluo standing behind him.

As for the sect leader's throne at the very top, it is naturally empty.

Ning Fengzhi was also surprised when he first learned that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had joined the Wuji Sect.

But then he thought about it again. Lin Mu and Ju Gui already had some connection. With Lin Mu's strength and methods, it wouldn't be difficult for him to recruit them.

However, the fact that Chrysanthemum and Ghost dared to betray the Spirit Hall in public is enough to show that Lin Mu is capable of fighting against the Spirit Hall.

"Elder Ju, when will His Majesty Lin Mu arrive?" Ning Fengzhi asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo calmly put down his teacup and said indifferently:

"Sect Leader Ning, please don't worry. Old Ghost has already gone to inform you, but you are always very busy. I don't know if you will have time."

Since joining the Wuji Sect, he has experienced unprecedented treatment.

Since Lin Mu rarely visits the sect, it's mostly him and Lao Gui who are in charge of supervising the sect.

Of course, people like Yang Wudi and Niu Gao also had some power, but they were slightly less powerful than the two of them.

Although Lin Mu gave them complete authority, they didn't dare to do anything underhanded, otherwise they might not see the sun rise the next day if someone reported them.

In slightly better situations, Lin Mu would beat them so badly they would question their existence.

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's leisurely and carefree appearance, Ning Fengzhi looked helpless and could only sit in his seat and continue to wait.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Mu and Ghost Douluo finally appeared.

Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi quickly stood up from his seat, bowed slightly, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty Lin Mu."

"Sect Leader Ning, there's no need for such formalities. What brings you here?"

Lin Mu went straight to the point and asked.

Although the top seat for the sect leader was placed at the front, he had no interest in sitting there; he preferred to handle things simply and directly.

Although he didn't make any progress in his cultivation during this period, he developed the Elemental Academy into the number one academy on the entire continent and collected a lot of faith power from elemental soul masters.

For him, it was a relatively fulfilling life.

Ning Fengzhi was not surprised by Lin Mulei's decisive and efficient style of handling things. With such speed, it was impossible for him to be slow in dealing with matters.

"Your Majesty Lin Mu, it has been more than a year since I last saw His Majesty. I would like to ask how His Majesty is doing."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned slightly strange.

It should be noted that when Xue Qinghe first took office, he was very diligent and only took a few days off occasionally. How could he possibly disappear for more than a year at once?

There must be something fishy going on here, and some people even speculate that Lin Mu murdered Xue Qinghe.

However, not many people believed this speculation. After all, Lin Mu gained nothing from killing Xue Qinghe, and Xue Qinghe was able to ascend the throne precisely because of Lin Mu.

As time went on, various speculations emerged, with some even suspecting that Lin Mu had locked Xue Qinghe in a secret room.

However, thanks to Lin Mu's stabilizing influence, the Heavenly Dou Empire did not descend into chaos.

Lin Mu didn't care about these rumors at all.

At first, he wanted to create the illusion that Qian Renxue was still in the palace, but after a year and a half, the illusion was exposed.

Over the past year, he had considered finding someone to impersonate Xue Qinghe, but unfortunately, he couldn't find a suitable one.

"Sect Leader Ning, knowing too much about some things may not be a good thing."

Lin Mu said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted, and he immediately took a deep breath, tentatively asking, "Could it be that His Majesty has encountered an accident?"

In his view, Lin Mu would never harm Xue Qinghe. Only one possibility remained: something had happened to Xue Qinghe, and Lin Mu was forced to keep the secret for the sake of the empire's stability.

Are you sure you want to know?

Lin Mu's eyes flickered slightly, carrying a hint of solemnity and threat.

Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's expression changed. It seemed that he had guessed wrong; the matter was far more serious than he had imagined.

After a moment of contemplation, he looked up at Lin Mu and said solemnly, "Your Majesty has been kind to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. How can I remain indifferent? Please tell me, Your Majesty."

In fact, he was thinking more about the sect's interests.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is already tied to Xue Qinghe. If a different emperor were to rule, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would inevitably be affected.

In fact, he had considered seeking refuge with Lin Mu, but that was a dead end.

Unless he is willing to merge into the Wuji Sect like the Haotian Sect, he will not be able to receive Lin Mu's protection.

It should be noted that the Haotian Sect, once the number one sect in the world, could only become a small Hammer Hall under the jurisdiction of the Tang Sect. If their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were to join, they would probably only become a Tower Hall.

He simply couldn't accept this result.

"Alright, I can tell you, it's not like I can't."

Lin Mu suddenly took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Xue Qinghe is not the original Xue Qinghe."

Upon hearing this, both Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were stunned.

The short sentence exploded in their minds. They considered many possibilities, but never doubted the authenticity of Xue Qinghe's identity.

Ning Fengzhi quickly came to his senses and looked at Lin Mu with a complicated expression.

No wonder Lin Mu was unwilling to serve the Tian Dou royal family before, but a few years later, he took the initiative to help Xue Qinghe seize the throne.

Therefore, it is clear that all of this is traceable.

As for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo standing to the side, they already knew about Lin Mu's relationship with Qian Renxue.

After a moment, Ning Fengzhi asked, "Tell me now, aren't you afraid I'll make this public?"

"Since I've said it, I'm naturally not worried about such a thing happening. Putting aside the fact that you have no evidence, even if someone believes you, it's like a mayfly trying to shake a tree."

Lin Mu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi fell silent.

He knew, of course, that the Heaven Dou Empire had undergone a change of dynasty, and that with the Martial Soul Empire eyeing it covetously, the Heaven Dou Empire could not do without Lin Mu.

Moreover, the Fourth Prince Xue Beng has disappeared without a trace and has most likely been dealt with.

Even if a suitable heir to the throne could be found, it would be impossible for them to be enemies with Lin Mu.

Ning Fengzhi, who is always pragmatic, would naturally not do something as futile as throwing an egg against a rock.

After some consideration, Ning Fengzhi sighed, then said resolutely, "Now that we have pledged allegiance to His Majesty, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will remain loyal to the end."

Now that things have come to this, no matter what the fake Xue Qinghe's identity is, he has no choice but to go down this dark path.

In fact, if we had to say, the current Heavenly Dou Empire is definitely much stronger than before, especially with Lin Mu and the Wuji Sect, it has the potential to unify the continent.

"This matter still requires the help of Sect Leader Ning to provide some cover."

Lin Mu told Ning Fengzhi about this mainly because he wanted to use Ning Fengzhi's identity to keep the others calm.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi immediately agreed. With frequent border conflicts, it wouldn't be difficult to keep it a secret.

As for His Majesty's specific condition, he dared not inquire further. (End of Chapter)
