In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Because their cultivation was destroyed, the three elders, all over a hundred years old, aged rapidly and fell from the sky, dying instantly.

"Looks like the Clear Sky Hammer isn't all that great. I didn't even have to use my soul skills before I wiped you all out." Lan Ji casually tossed the lifeless Tang Xiao onto the corpses of the three elders. He activated the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique, and golden flames rose, burning Tang Xiao and the other three to ashes. Only a piece of his left arm soul bone remained on the spot.

At this point, all the first and second generation disciples of the Haotian Sect, except for Tang Yuehua, were wiped out.

"This Haotian Sect is really poor. Such a large sect, yet only Tang Xiao possesses a soul bone. However, the quality is acceptable, no less than Tang Hao's two. I'll give it to Leng Leng later." Lan Ji clicked his tongue as he put away the soul bone, released his spiritual power, and transmitted his voice directly to Ning Fengzhi and the other three in the distance. "Uncle Ning, it's been a long time. Why don't you come out and catch up?"

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi and his companions were still reeling from the shock of Lan Ji killing four Title Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect. Hearing Lan Ji's voice, they finally reacted. Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo exchanged bewildered glances, admiring Lan Ji's decisiveness while simultaneously feeling a chill run down their spines. A stellar sect destroyed so easily—could he have wiped them out as well?

The scene fell silent as Ning Fengzhi and his companions began to consider whether to go over, and what would happen if they did. In this desolate wilderness, what if Lan Ji got carried away and wiped them out as well? There wouldn't even be anyone to collect their bodies.

"Dad, Brother Lan Ji is calling you, let's go quickly." Just then, Ning Rongrong's voice interrupted the three of them.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, pondered for a moment, and said to the two Title Douluos, Jian Shu and Gu Shu, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, let's go over there."

Running away is definitely out of the question. Lan Ji is now a Limit Douluo; he could kill four Title Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect, so he can certainly kill them too. If the other side is determined to attack, they absolutely cannot escape. Moreover, so far, there has been no conflict between the two sides. Furthermore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always maintained a friendly relationship with Lan Ji, so they are unlikely to be silenced.

Soon, escorted by the two titled Douluo, Jian Gu, they arrived in front of Lan Ji.

"Everything here today was done by Tang San." This was the first thing Lan Ji said to them.

Chapter 366 Showdown

"Everything here today was done by Tang San," Lan Ji said calmly.

"Ah... what did you say?" Ning Fengzhi and the others were clearly still in shock. Their already uneasy feelings intensified. They suddenly realized that the Lan Ji before them was someone they had never seen before. Someone they had never seen before who was terrifying.

It was as if they were completely different people from the one they used to know.

"Well, it might be a bit complicated to explain in detail, but I'll introduce you to someone and you'll understand." Lan Ji pondered for a moment, then snapped his fingers.

Space suddenly distorted, and a huge black hole slowly opened up beside him, from which three graceful figures emerged elegantly.

“Bibi Dong…” Ning Fengzhi and the other three suddenly enlarged their eyes and were shocked. The two titled Douluo, Jian Gu and Bone, immediately summoned their respective martial souls, and their nine soul rings soared into the sky. They stared at the newcomer with wary eyes.

The leader was dressed in a dazzling, jewel-like gown, with a nine-curved purple-gold crown on his head and an angel's scepter in his hand. His demeanor was sacred and noble, making people unable to help but feel a sense of worship.

Standing behind her were two young women, whose looks and temperament were slightly inferior to hers, but they were still extremely beautiful, stunningly gorgeous.

The two beautiful women each held a little girl in their arms. The little girls were very lively, and their appearance bore a slight resemblance to Lan Ji. Their two big, round eyes looked around, and when they saw Lan Ji, their eyes lit up instantly. They opened their chubby little arms and called out in unison, "Daddy..."

Yes, they were none other than Lan Ji's wife and children: Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lengleng, Qian Qian, and Lan Qingxue.

"Dong... Zhuqing, Leng Leng, why did you bring Xue and Qian here?" Lan Ji took the two little ones from the two women and asked with some surprise.

“While you were at Haotian Sect, we stayed with Sister Dong’er. The two little ones were here too. They recognized your spatial teleportation and kept nagging to come along, so we couldn’t do anything about it,” Zhu Zhuqing said helplessly.

Ye Lengleng rarely spoke in front of outsiders. Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had already answered, she didn't say anything more, but just gave Lan Ji an apologetic smile.

Lan Ji naturally wouldn't blame them. She said to the two little ones in her arms, "Ah Xue, Ah Qian, don't be naughty like this again next time."

"I know, Father." Aqian lowered her head with a wronged look, while Axue was much more mischievous. Afraid of being scolded by Lan Ji, she quickly changed the subject, "Father, who are those people? How come Axue and Sister have never seen them before?"

"Oh, they are some of Father's friends. You'll get to know them later." Lan Ji turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi and the other three, and began to get down to business. He said to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, with your wisdom, you should have already guessed the general idea, right?"

“I suppose so…” Ning Fengzhi stood behind the two Title Douluos, Sword and Bone, a self-deprecating smile on his face. He sighed softly, “I have seen countless people in my life, but I have never seen through you. I never imagined that you would side with your enemy, the Spirit Hall, and then turn around and do such a terrible thing to the sect you came from. No wonder Bibi Dong would save you even if she let Tang Hao go during the Soul Master Competition.”

"An enemy?" Lan Ji's lips curled into a sneer. "Sect Master Ning, I think you've misunderstood some things. When I was a commoner, the Spirit Hall helped me awaken my spirit, provided me with a spirit master subsidy, and helped me embark on the path of a spirit master. Why would I consider the Spirit Hall an enemy?"

The hatred you're referring to is probably directed at that old man, Tang Zhan. I'm sorry, I've never considered him my grandfather. An old man who abandoned his wife and children deserves to die; it was too good for him to die at the hands of the Spirit Hall.

There is also the Haotian Sect.

To be honest, I never intended to kill him; at most, I just wanted to teach that old bastard Tang Lie a lesson. After all, the grievances have their source, and the debts have their debtors. It was this old guy who instigated that scumbag Tang Zhan to abandon my grandmother and my father.

As it turned out, because Tang Hao died at my hands, they sent two Title Douluos to assassinate me, even going so far as to wait in Heaven Dou City for half a year. Tang Lie was one of them, and he was the most ruthless and the one who wanted to kill me the most.

At that time, my soul power was only level 89, and I hadn't yet switched to cultivating my second martial soul. I simply lured them out of Heaven Dou City, killed one, crippled the other, and made this one-year agreement. That old bastard Tang Lie, out of consideration for our blood relation, I spared his life. However, having lost his soul power, he's probably already dead of old age.

As for poisoning the Haotian Sect? Do you think I'd still be standing here if I were the one who lost today?

"What about Qinghe? Qinghe hasn't done anything to wrong you, has he? What benefits did the Spirit Hall give you that made you betray him?" Ning Fengzhi pressed.

"Sect Leader Ning, you've got it wrong again." Lan Ji chuckled. "I've never betrayed Xue'er. Tell me, why would I betray my own woman?"

"Xue'er? She's a woman?" Ning Rongrong was shocked and stunned.

“Of course, Miss Ning, you should have met her. Let me remind you. Two years ago, at the gate of Shrek Academy.” Lan Ji turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi: “As for her identity, I think Sect Master Ning should have heard of her. She is Qian Renxue, the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall. The two children in my arms are the ones Xue’er and I had.”

"It's her..." Ning Rongrong recalled the beautiful figure that made her feel ashamed of herself, and her expression became somewhat lonely. No wonder Lan Ji was unwilling to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School back then; it turned out he had already become the son-in-law of the Spirit Hall.

Somewhat unwillingly, she turned her anger towards Zhu Zhuqing: "And what about Zhuqing? What does she mean to you?"

"Of course she's my woman." Lan Ji handed Ah Xue to Ye Lengleng, freeing one hand to walk to Zhu Zhuqing's side. He put his arm around her shoulder and sighed, "Back then, by some twist of fate, I ended up with both of them at the same time. I went to great lengths to mediate between them. I don't even know how many beautiful women I missed out on because of it. Alas, I sacrificed too much."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing glared at Lan Ji with annoyance, then slipped her jade hand into his waist, causing Lan Ji to gasp in pain before he could finally vent his anger.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong assumed that the beauties Lan Ji mentioned included herself, and her eyes instantly lit up. The dejection and disappointment on her face vanished, replaced by a hint of smugness. She thought to herself, "It seems Lan Ji wasn't entirely unmoved by me; he just didn't dare approach me because of the pressure from Zhu Zhuqing and Qian Renxue."

Ning Fengzhi then revealed a look of sudden realization, "So it seems that you also murdered Emperor Xueye and framed Tang San. All this was to help the Spirit Hall seize power from the Heaven Dou Empire."

Chapter 367 The Choice (Remastered Version)

Lan Ji said, "You're half right this time. It's true that we're going to help the Spirit Hall seize power from the Heaven Dou Empire. After all, this continent has been divided for too long, and the war is endless. It's time for unification. By seizing the Heaven Dou Empire from within, we can save many lives. But Xue Ye did die at Tang San's hands, and even Xue Beng and Xue Xing died at Tang San's hands."

At this point, Lan Ji revealed a strange smile. "Back then, I disguised myself as Tang San and tricked that 100,000-year-old rabbit into sacrificing itself to me. That rabbit used the most domineering method of sacrifice, offering up its 100,000 years of cultivation along with its soul. But Tang San was foolish enough to not know this, thinking that by finding the rabbit's original body left behind after the sacrifice, he could revive it."

"Actually, that rabbit died within a few hours after the sacrifice. I randomly found a pregnant female rabbit and threatened Tang San. That's how the three unlucky guys, Xue Ye, Xue Beng, and Xue Xing, died at Tang San's hands."

Lan Ji's words were half true and half false. In reality, Xue Ye, Xue Beng, and Xue Xing were swapped with him by Lan Ji using spatial teleportation and sent to Tang San's hammer.

"Where did the real Xue Qinghe go? When exactly did the Spirit Hall infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire?" Ning Fengzhi closed his eyes in anguish; at this moment, he didn't even have the courage to run away. Lan Ji himself, as a Limit Douluo, was able to easily kill four Title Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect without using any spirit skills.

Standing beside him now is Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall. She is also a twin spirit possessor. Seven years ago, in the battle at the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong displayed a spirit power of at least level ninety-eight. Now, her aura is as deep and vast as the sea, much stronger than before. Although the pressure she exerts is not as strong as Lan Ji's, it is no less intense.

As expected, Bibi Dong's soul power also reached level 99, and she was facing two level 99 Limit Douluos at the same time. She also possessed twin martial souls.

I'm afraid no one in this world has ever been able to leave alive from their clutches.

"Let me explain," Bibi Dong finally spoke. She recounted the process of Qian Renxue's infiltration.

"Why are you telling us this?" Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious. He didn't mention the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Once they broke off relations, the four of them might not be able to leave here alive.

"Because I want to give you a chance to live. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has repeatedly clashed with the Spirit Hall, constantly stirring up trouble, and even openly supporting the Heaven Dou Empire against the Spirit Hall. Originally, I wanted to wipe you out, but unfortunately, Tang San, along with those two 100,000-year-old spirit beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest and the Clear Sky School, beat me to it. But don't worry, today the Clear Sky School is doomed. Those two 100,000-year-old spirit beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest have also become my spirit rings. This can be considered revenge for your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School."

As the only Blue Star student in Douluo Continent, Bibi Dong has received nine years of compulsory education. She can lie without batting an eye and speaks nonsense with a straight face.

"Then I really thank you." Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Ning Fengzhi was so angry he was about to explode. He suppressed his anger and uttered those words heavily.

Lan Ji took over the conversation, "Sect Leader Ning, regardless of whether you were sincere or not, I have ultimately accepted the benefits from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I know you can no longer join the Spirit Hall. The reason I'm telling you this today is that I hope you can choose a better place to stay. I'll close the mountain here. If possible, I don't want to hurt you."

"What if I refuse? Are you going to kill me to silence me?" Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes, while Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him were also prepared to fight to the death.

As for Ning Rongrong, she looked at Lan Ji with trepidation, hoping that Lan Ji would spare the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for her sake.

"That's not quite right. I'm not some kind of devil. Besides, I promised you I would ensure Miss Ning's safety for the rest of her life." Lan Ji pondered for a moment, revealing a harmless smile. "It will probably involve sealing the soul power of the four of you, finding you a secluded paradise, and letting you live out your days in peace and tranquility. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it will lose its support due to your disappearance and will eventually be swallowed up by other forces."

Ning Fengzhi closed his eyes in pain, pondered for a long time, and after weighing the pros and cons, finally chose to compromise, "Okay, I agree. But I hope you can meet three conditions for me."

Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo immediately exclaimed, "Feng Zhi, are you insane... Have you forgotten how the Sword Man's right arm was severed? And the deaths of those Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples...?"

Sword Douluo snorted coldly, "Old bones, shut up and let the sect leader finish speaking."

"Speak freely. As long as it doesn't violate my principles." Lan Ji's expression was calm, and his voice was very indifferent.

"Before I state my three conditions, I have something I want to ask you." Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh, "Where were you on the night the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed? And when did you find out that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been destroyed?" He wanted to confirm whether Lan Ji had participated in the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Plan.

"As you can see, I was in the Star Dou Great Forest at the time, tricking that old rabbit into making a sacrifice. I only learned about the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after I returned," Lan Ji answered frankly.

"That's good." Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "My first condition is that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can close its mountain, but supplies will definitely need to be replenished from the outside. I hope that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can retain its several properties in Tiandou City. Otherwise, even if you don't kill us now, we will definitely starve to death on the mountain."

“Yes. But on the condition that you abide by the laws of the future empire,” Bibi Dong answered for Lan Ji.

Seeing Bibi Dong agree so readily, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still gave Lan Ji his second condition, "Secondly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs a guarantee. Otherwise, even if they close the mountain, the Spirit Hall will inevitably settle scores later and discard them after they've served their purpose. Lan Ji, I think you should know Rongrong's feelings for you. Although I thought of betrothing her to Oscar after you refused to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School five years ago, Rongrong's heart is not with Oscar at all. In the past two years, she hasn't even let Oscar hold her hand. She's been depressed all day long... So I want you to marry Rongrong and make her your third wife."

He wanted to do something more for Ning Rongrong and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If they could get close to Lan Ji, a Limit Douluo, as their son-in-law, what did the deaths of thousands of disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School matter? Their future would surely be bright. They wouldn't even need to close their mountain. Surpassing the peak of the Clear Sky Sect would be a piece of cake.

Chapter 368 The Curtain Falls (Remastered Version)

As soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lengleng refused without the slightest hesitation, "No way."

They could not forgive Ning Rongrong's terrible attitude towards Lan Ji during the Soul Master Competition.

"No." ×2

Two childish voices, clearly distracted and a beat behind, rang out. Aqian and Axue spoke up as well.

Aqian was held in Lan Ji's arms, blinking her cute big eyes, and said pitifully, "Daddy, she's a bad woman, don't marry her. Marry Leng Leng's mother or Nana's mother."

"Yes, yes, and Dong'er's mother is fine too. Just don't marry that bad woman." Ah Xue had somehow climbed into Bibi Dong's arms and added, as if she wanted to stir up trouble.

Upon hearing this, the scene instantly fell silent. Everyone stared at each other, their expressions varied.

Ye Lengleng and Bibi Dong's pretty faces flushed red;

Zhu Zhuqing was used to it and simply took it as innocent childish talk.

Lan Ji nearly coughed up blood, inwardly cursing, "What on earth did that vixen teach these two little ones? I absolutely can't let Hu Liena raise them again, or they'll go astray. When Qian Renxue comes out of seclusion, she'll definitely tear me apart!"

Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, was completely bewildered. They could understand if "Leng Leng's mother" referred to Ye Leng Leng, given that she had been with Lan Ji for nearly ten years. As for "Nana's mother," only Hu Liena met the criteria, which they could barely accept, since they were both in the Spirit Hall and would inevitably have some contact.

But who is this "Dong'er's mother"? If they're not mistaken, Dong'er's mother is Pope Bibi Dong, right?
