Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Pattern Staff, Inherited from the Azure Dragon of the East

Chapter 114 Dust in the Heart, Tranquility in the Wind!

In the Du family mansion in Tiandou City, the old steward spoke up: "Please go back and inform His Majesty that my master has gone on a leisurely journey across the continent and will not be back for some time. He is unable to see His Majesty, and we ask for His Majesty's understanding."

"Has His Majesty the Poisonous One said when he will return?" the Heavenly Dou Guard asked.

This is not a good situation.

"When it's time to come back, it will naturally come back." The old butler shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"I understand." The Heavenly Guard turned around and quickly went back to report.

"Why."

The old butler closed the door.

"Your Majesty, that's how it is." The imperial guard entered the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace to report.

Emperor Xueye frowned: "What a coincidence, could that Title Douluo be Dugu Bo?"

"If that's the case, they should be recognized. Their martial spirit and characteristics are not hard to spot," the guard guessed.

"It seems that's not the case. They weren't poisoned. If it really was Dugu Bo, he wouldn't have killed our people. After all, he still owes us a favor."

Emperor Xueye shook his head.

"Alright, let's see how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School responds."

He sighed.

"Your Majesty, Sect Master Ning and His Highness Sword Douluo have arrived outside the palace." At this moment, a chief eunuch came in to report.

"Oh? Quickly invite them in!" said Emperor Xueye.

Soon, they met Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

Ning Fengzhi stood before the vermilion gate, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his brocade robe embroidered with dragons and phoenixes fluttering gently in the breeze.

The man was handsome, with a touch of gray at his temples, and his dark eyebrows exuded authority and wisdom.

His eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see into people's hearts, and his gaze was sharp and menacing.

Beneath slender eyebrows are a pair of eyes that have been etched with the calm of time, unfathomable as if they hold endless stories and secrets.

He always had a faint smile on his lips, a gentle and refined demeanor with a subtle, almost imperceptible sharpness.

He exudes composure in every gesture, and even when faced with the most difficult situations, he always remains calm, giving people a sense of security.

Despite being the sect leader, he showed no trace of domineering arrogance. On the contrary, his demeanor and speech were exceptionally humble, as if all the splendor and glory were merely fleeting clouds.

However, at crucial moments, the decisiveness and courage he displayed made people clearly feel his unfathomable inner strength and composure.

This is Ning Fengzhi.

Chen Xin, her blue robes fluttering in the wind.

Although he is over fifty years old, he is still handsome, as if time has left no trace on his face.

His deep eyes seemed to see into people's hearts, flashing with a sharp light, like two sharp swords, enough to make any disrespectful heart tremble.

His brows exuded a sense of authority, like sword-like eyebrows, arched high, adding to his resolute air.

His posture was as upright as a pine tree, and he exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

He wasn't using a sword; he just stood there calmly, yet it was as if he had already wielded one, as if a storm was brewing. His sword intent contained a sense of vicissitude and composure, the marks of time and countless battles.

His every move exuded arrogance, as if he were the only one worthy of respect in the world, his sword unyielding and invincible.

The air around this swordsman seemed to solidify under his chilling sword intent, and the surrounding scenery became solemn and dignified in the reflection of his aura.

Despite his advanced age, his extraordinary demeanor and superb swordsmanship captivated everyone who saw him.

This is the swordsman's heart!

The combination of these two is quite formidable.

He was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and no one dared to provoke him.

Even the Emperor Xueye, the most powerful emperor in the land, had to show deference to these two and maintain a warm and courteous demeanor.

There was no other way; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the one supporting the Heaven Dou Empire.

If it weren't for them, even with the Spirit Hall acting as a balance on the continent, the Star Luo Empire would have been even more unscrupulous in attacking their empire.

However, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in power, even if the Star Luo Empire were to make a move, it would have to think twice. It would only dare to play small games and not big ones, and it would all be done in secret, not openly, because that would be a real falling out.

The Star Luo Empire doesn't want to see this, and neither does the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Your Majesty, please tell me everything." Ning Fengzhi had also received some rumors, and at first he was a little unsure, but now it seemed to be true.

"Alright, please have a seat."

"That's what the Snow Night Emperor said."

The three of them sat down.

Emperor Xueye began his narration.

"So it is, like this, like this, like this, like this."

Here, it's as if someone fast-forwarded through the scene.

They spoke very quickly, but they could hear everything clearly and understand perfectly.

"A mysterious Title Douluo... There's a Title Douluo standing behind that person. So, His Majesty's intention is for us to deal with this Title Douluo?"

Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought, already considering the pros and cons of the matter.

After all, this was a titled Douluo from the previous level.

As a decision-maker, one cannot make hasty decisions; otherwise, it would be irresponsible.

Not a qualified person.

Moreover, he needs to consider things from the perspective of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, not the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Yes." Emperor Xueye nodded.

"We don't know what force is behind this mysterious Title Douluo, or if there are any other hidden Title Douluos. However, we will have people keep an eye on this matter. Once we discover anything, we will initiate negotiations. If possible, both sides can sit down and talk to see if they can reach a consensus."

Ning Fengzhi spoke up.

Killing a Title Douluo is actually impractical.

A titled Douluo is not so easily killed.

They didn't know the details of that Title Douluo, and if they failed to kill him and he escaped, they would have to face the constant threat of revenge from a Title Douluo.

The enemy is in the shadows while they are in the open, which is a huge disadvantage. They have to live in constant fear. He may not be afraid, but the disciples in the sect cannot be.

As the head of a sect, he naturally has to consider matters concerning his sect.

"Alright." Emperor Xueye understood this as well. His original intention was not to kill the Title Douluo. If he could make this mysterious Title Douluo owe their Heaven Dou Royal Family a favor, it would be good. Perhaps it could come in handy in the future.

This can also be seen as giving the Heavenly Dou Empire a trump card.

Because from the beginning, he knew Ning Fengzhi's stance: he would never offend a Title Douluo whose background he didn't know.

If it were just Contra, it would be easy to kill.

But this doesn't apply to Title Douluo.

This is no longer a concept on the same level.

They finished their conversation quickly and then parted ways.

"Feng Zhi, what do you think of this mysterious Title Douluo?" Chen Xin asked on the way back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I suspect it's someone from the Spirit Hall."

"It seems we think alike."

"The Northern King has offended the Spirit Hall, and that young man might also be a member of the Spirit Hall."

"Does using a stick mean they're descendants of dragon-slaying and demon-subduing masters?"

Chen Xin's expression was solemn.
