Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Dongfang Qingcang, Unrivaled in the Mortal World

Chapter 29 Ning Fengzhi Wants to Invite Dongfang Qingcang to Become a Guest Elder

Hearing the door being pushed open, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo both looked up and saw Dongfang Qingcang in front of them.

"Your Excellency, the Eastern Venerable One."

Ning Fengzhi, being the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, stood up and bowed politely to Dongfang Qingcang.

If it were any other Title Douluo, Ning Fengzhi might only say a few words and wouldn't show any respect, after all, he is the sect leader of the three upper sects.

Its status is no less than that of a titled Douluo.

That's why Ning Fengzhi is so polite only to those he recognizes as strong.

Dongfang Qingcang didn't mind, waved his hand, and sat down in the chair, saying, "Sect Leader Ning, please don't stand on ceremony, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Ning Fengzhi sat down without any ceremony, then said with a smile, "I heard from Uncle Jian last night that Your Excellency encountered Tang Hao, who had disappeared for many years?"

"That's right, it's just a pity that he got away."

Ning Fengzhi was not surprised by the news of Tang Hao's escape. After all, Tang Hao was a titled Douluo powerhouse, and with six soul bones and level 95 soul power, escaping would not be difficult for him.

What Ning Fengzhi couldn't understand was that the mighty Haotian Douluo Tang Hao would be defeated so decisively, and it was not hard to tell from the escape tunnel that Tang Hao had dug his way out.

This is an absolute disgrace for a titled Douluo powerhouse.

But Tang Hao still did it, which shows that Dongfang Qingcang had indeed completely overwhelmed Tang Hao at that time.

Ning Fengzhi is a meticulous man. He can infer a person's thoughts from their expression and determine their strength by using subtle clues.

The man in front of him was able to force Tang Hao to this point, so his strength was obviously not to be underestimated, and was even above level 98.

Such a young Title Douluo is truly a rare sight.

Perhaps the title of "youngest Title Douluo" should change hands.

Dongfang Qingcang took a sip of tea and asked, "Sect Leader Ning's visit this time must be more than just a simple reunion, right?"

Upon seeing that the other party went straight to the point, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Your Excellency."

"I have come not only to inquire about what happened last night, but also to make a request of Your Majesty."

"What is it?"

Dongfang Qingcang asked.

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the top three schools in the Douluo Continent. In addition to Uncle Sword, there is also a titled Douluo in our school."

However, both of my uncles are nearly eighty years old, so I would like to invite Your Excellency to become a guest elder of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi didn't directly mention "Guardian Elder" but rather "Guest Elder" because he was afraid that Dongfang Qingcang would be angry about this matter.

It is important to know that becoming a sect guardian elder requires one to remain in the sect permanently. Except in certain circumstances, sect elders are required to stay within the sect at all times.

In contrast, guest elders are merely nominal members who are not required to obey the sect's orders or remain in the sect permanently, and no one interferes with their personal freedom.

This is why Ning Fengzhi chose to invite the other party to become a guest elder, rather than a sect-protecting elder who would remain in the sect forever.

He was afraid that Dongfang Qingcang would be angry because of this.

Ning Fengzhi truly lives up to his title as the sect leader of the three upper sects; he is indeed meticulous and leaves no room for error.

Dongfang Qingcang took a sip of tea, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Ning Fengzhi in front of him, saying, "Sect Master Ning, you may not understand me. In all the world, no one can make me pledge allegiance to a faction."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

If you don't understand, then say it again: the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no right to let Dongfang Qingcang join.

Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed not qualified.

Even the Spirit Hall, the strongest force in the world today, is not qualified to make Dongfang Qingcang their elder. After all, how can the strongest Demon Lord in the Three Realms become a toy controlled by others?

Sword Douluo seemed to have been mentally prepared, so he was not angry when Dongfang Qingcang refused. Instead, he sighed with some relief.

Ning Fengzhi, his brows furrowed, said, "Your Excellency, you now only have two people. If you don't rely on external forces, I'm afraid the future..."

At this point, Ning Fengzhi remained silent, as if he wanted Dongfang Qingcang to guess for himself. After all, in this world, without absolute strength, there is no way to survive.

So what if he's a Title Douluo powerhouse?

The titled Douluo who exists in this world today, apart from Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, are all affiliated with a certain force. Even Tang Hao has the Clear Sky Sect, which has the number one weapon spirit in the world, behind him.

Therefore, it was not a wise choice for Dongfang Qingcang to remain alone in the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's somewhat anxious appearance, Dongfang Qingcang laughed and said, "Sect Master Ning, you flatter me. In this world, there is no one whose name I can remember."

Such arrogant words even startled Sword Douluo sitting next to Ning Fengzhi. He really was the Demon Lord, so arrogant indeed.

So far, the Spirit Hall has several times more Title Douluos than their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, yet Ning Fengzhi sensed something was amiss.

"Your Excellency, there is something I want to tell you."

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Sword Douluo, then said softly:

"When I was young, the continent was turbulent and strife was everywhere, but in the last twenty years, all such struggles have disappeared, and the entire continent is eerily quiet."

"Although I have only found a few clues, these signs indicate that the situation on the mainland will undergo earth-shattering changes. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs to become stronger in order to protect the future of the sect."

"Similarly, if we are not able to join forces, we will probably be defeated one by one in the future. By then, even if we regret it, it will probably be too late."

Dongfang Qingcang took a sip of tea and said, "They're just insignificant ants, a bunch of rabble. There's no need to pay them any mind."

Faced with absolute power, any alliance is nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree; therefore, true strength lies only in becoming stronger oneself.

Otherwise, you'll always have to live behind other people's backs and become a soft persimmon that everyone wants to squeeze.

In this situation, the ultimate outcome is destruction.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is too indecisive. Since they have already offended them, why did they not take action but instead allowed the other party to destroy their family before they finally realized their mistake?
