Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Jing Hongchen exuded an aura of majesty, his gaze sharp as a knife, sending chills down Ning Tian's spine, as if he were in a frozen wasteland, with snowstorms surging from all directions.

"Sometimes when I chat with Yuhao, I hear him say something like this: 'Loyalty that is not absolute is absolutely disloyal.'"

Therefore, if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School wants to cooperate with the Sun Moon Empire, it must maintain absolute loyalty to the Sun Moon Empire. I don't want the Sun Moon army to be betrayed by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Upon hearing this, the sect-protecting Douluo beside Ning Tian remained seated in his chair, motionless, as if he were a stone.

However, the three elders of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School stood up at this moment because of Jing Hongchen's words, and stared at Jing Hongchen with unfriendly eyes.

"Jing Hongchen, don't make false accusations! The whole 'double-betting' thing is completely unfounded. We came here with sincerity, hoping to conduct deeper cooperation, but your current actions are completely undermining our cooperation!"

"Hmph, ungrateful wretch!"

"Jing Hongchen, don't make a mistake. If you jeopardize the cooperation, you will definitely regret it later!"

Hearing these passionate words, Jing Hongchen knew she had done the right thing.

In fact, he didn't expect the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to maintain absolute loyalty to the Sun Moon Empire.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy have a close relationship. Even though Shrek Academy is now in decline, the inertia of following Shrek Academy is not so easy to change.

However, no matter what, he should try his best to put pressure on the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in this matter. This would help him take the initiative, leave himself enough room for concessions, and thus achieve his true goal.

After all, human nature is always about compromise.

Ning Tian narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she tended to support the Sun Moon Empire, from the sect's perspective, what Jing Hongchen had just said was simply impossible to realize.

It should be understood that if the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were to join the Sun Moon Empire, and if the Sun Moon Empire were to ultimately achieve a great victory, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would undoubtedly reap substantial benefits.

But if the Sun Moon Empire were to lose to Shrek Academy's millennia-old heritage, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would surely meet a tragic end.

What does the concept of eternal friendship mean in this kind of situation?

After all, Shrek Academy's ruthlessness was evident in the Tang Sect incident.

Shrek Academy and Tang Sect used to have an excellent relationship, but later Tang Sect became complacent and gradually declined. Shrek Academy did not lend a helping hand based on their past friendship. When Tang Sect was wiped out and only Tang Ya was left, and the sect's headquarters were seized, Mu En appeared like a divine soldier and helped Tang Ya.

However, after the Tang Sect incident, Ning Tian felt something was off and became somewhat wary of Shrek Academy.

Chapter 654 Divine Sense Pressure

“If you are unwilling to agree to my demands, then there is no need for us to continue discussing deeper cooperation,” Jing Hongchen continued.

Upon hearing this, the three elders of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School were startled.

If it weren't for the need for deeper cooperation, why would they have traveled all the way from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate to get here?

In any case, deeper cooperation must continue.

They simply didn't have the courage to turn around and leave.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, the allied forces suffered a defeat some time ago, and these elders, who already supported cooperation with the Sun Moon Empire, naturally felt that the Sun Moon Empire was thriving.

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy and other empires behind the coalition are now seen as declining in their eyes.

Ning Tian said, "Master Jing, I think we can continue talking. Actually, there's nothing we can't talk about."

“Then I need to see your sincerity,” Jing Hongchen said with a cold face.

“We are certainly sincere.” Ning Tian nodded with a smile. “However, I hope Huo Yuhao will also participate in our discussions. Perhaps this will be of great help in our negotiations.”

She had worked with Huo Yuhao before and felt that he might be easier to talk to than Jing Hongchen.

If Huo Yuhao could also be involved in the discussion, the cooperation might be more successful.

Moreover, even now, she still believes that Huo Yuhao is a good match.

This opportunity might also help to enhance the relationship between the two and deepen their bond.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's gaze towards Ning Tian changed slightly.

Alarm bells immediately went off in his mind. He felt that Ning Tian might have some problems. Could it be that Ning Tian was interested in Yu Hao?

Otherwise, why specifically name Yuhao to participate in the discussion?

Upon closer examination, it makes sense.

Without special opportunities, Ning Tian could only ever reach the level of a level 79 Soul Saint. Naturally, she needed to find a powerful husband to ensure her own safety and bring sufficient benefits to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Clearly, the exceptionally talented Huo Yuhao is an excellent choice.

Should we ask Yuhao to come over?

Jing Hongchen is caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he didn't want to create more competition for his granddaughter or make things more difficult.

On the other hand, he hopes to successfully achieve a deeper level of cooperation with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Just then, a series of pattering footsteps sounded outside the door.

Huo Yuhao carried the "sleeping" Meng Hongchen in. On his way back to the academy, he encountered several researchers who told him that someone from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had arrived at the reception hall, so he came over along the way.

On the way back to the academy, Meng Hongchen had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Of course, the so-called "deep sleep" was just an act, something Huo Yuhao was perfectly aware of.

"Yuhao, what brings you here? And you're even carrying Xiaomeng on your back?" Jing Hongchen looked surprised.

He was indeed surprised, after all, he never expected Huo Yuhao to appear here.

At first, he thought he should let the other party spend more time with Xiaomeng. Of course, his surprise was also an act. After all, according to the premise of his previous visit to his "old friend", he shouldn't know that Huo Yuhao was carrying his granddaughter Meng Hongchen on his back.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao briefly explained to Jing Hongchen why he had come here and why he was carrying Meng Hongchen on his back.

Although he felt that Jing Hongchen was acting, he didn't expose her in front of so many people. After all, he still had to save face for the dean.

Then he carefully placed Meng Hongchen on a chair and activated a soundproof soul-guided shield for her.

Well, since Meng Hongchen was acting, he didn't need to expose her directly, so he just played along.

It would be pointless to expose this now.

Huo Yuhao had already decided that this could be considered one of Meng Hongchen's "dark histories," accumulated over time, and then revealed to Meng Hongchen when the opportunity arose. He estimated that Meng Hongchen's reaction at that time would be quite interesting.

Ning Tian stared at the "sleeping" Meng Hongchen, his emotions fluctuating. A look of dissatisfaction gradually accumulated in his bright, watery blue eyes.

In fact, she had seen Meng Hongchen make a move during the competition, so she naturally recognized him now in the reception room.

If I remember correctly, Meng Hongchen is two years older than Huo Yuhao, making her Huo Yuhao's senior, while I am the same age as Huo Yuhao.

In retrospect, Meng Hongchen is undoubtedly a scheming old woman!

After all, she had just heard Huo Yuhao's explanation for why he carried Meng Hongchen here, and she felt that Meng Hongchen's reason for having Huo Yuhao carry her was too far-fetched. It was just a fabricated reason to get closer to Huo Yuhao.

However, this also shows that Meng Hongchen is not with Huo Yuhao at all, otherwise why would she make up such a lame excuse?

In an instant, a competitive spirit ignited in her heart. As the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she had grown up in an inclusive environment and had always been a relatively confident person. Now, she was full of confidence in defeating Meng Hongchen.

She looked at Huo Yuhao and said with a smile, "Huo Yuhao, we meet again. I hope you can join our discussion with Master Jing, so as to deepen the cooperation between the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Sun Moon Empire."

After all, our last collaboration was very pleasant and beneficial to both parties, and I believe this time will be no exception.

"Cooperation?" Huo Yuhao looked puzzled.

Jing Hongchen, who was standing to the side, offered a brief explanation.

Huo Yuhao then said, "Just as the Dean said, if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School wants to have a deeper cooperation with the Sun Moon Empire, it must show sincerity."

Our demand for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is simple: that it completely aligns itself with the Sun Moon Empire.

“Under the current circumstances, that’s impossible!” Ning Tian sighed.

She doesn't have the final say in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School; she has no way of making decisions for the sect.

The three elders of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School standing to the side watched with cold eyes, quite dissatisfied.

Huo Yuhao remained silent, briefly communicating with the consciousness of the plane to ask it to conceal itself. Then, he released a portion of his divine sense, and a mental pressure as powerful as a tsunami swept over them.

Of course, it was merely releasing pressure, not an attack, so it couldn't be as devastating and unstoppable as when he killed Dai Hao. In fact, he deliberately held back a bit, but it was still quite intimidating to these people from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Tian's face turned deathly pale, and he was covered in cold sweat.

The three elders trembled with fear.

Even the usually composed and composed Guardian Douluo felt a suffocating sensation, as if all the air around him had been sucked away.

He exclaimed, "How is this possible? This powerful mental pressure is something even a Super Douluo of the Mental Realm can't compare to! Huo Yuhao, with your cultivation level, how can you possess such powerful mental strength?"

He had never experienced divine sense before, so he naturally didn't know what it was. However, he had experienced the mental pressure released by a super Douluo of the mental type.

Huo Yuhao silently withdrew his divine sense, not directly answering the question, but instead asked, "Now? Do you agree to completely side with the Sun Moon Empire?"

Before Ning Tian could speak, the Guardian Douluo couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of fervor in his eyes: "Of course! Your talent is even better than I imagined."

"Once I return, I will definitely have the sect leader convene a sect meeting. I believe everyone will choose to support the Sun Moon Empire because of you. After all, with your talent, you might be the next Tang San! However, before I return, I have a request."

Chapter 655 My house is quite big, you're welcome to come over and play.

"A request?" Huo Yuhao looked puzzled.

He felt uneasy after hearing the other person say that he might become the next Tang San.

After all, this is tantamount to swearing, but he is not an unreasonable person.

This sect protector Douluo's original intention was good, but after long-term brainwashing, he failed to see Tang San's true colors. It is estimated that in his mind, Tang San is still a righteous and great god.

Therefore, when the other party said that they might become the next Tang San, it was probably a compliment, not an insult.

"Yes, I request." The Guardian Douluo said with some helplessness, "I hope that if you ever become a great god, you can help our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School truly possess the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. This is very important for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and in a sense, it concerns the future survival of the sect."

According to his thinking, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was renamed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School because of Ning Rongrong's ancestors, no Soul Master with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has appeared in the sect since then.

With the development of soul tools, the disciples of the sect have also gained considerable combat power. However, the further the soul tools develop, the more the sect will fall behind the times and even perish.

After all, limited by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, even the sect leader is only a level 79 Soul Saint, which is already the limit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

Moreover, the vast majority of Soul Masters who possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul actually cannot reach the level of a 79th-level Soul Saint, and even Soul Saints are extremely rare.

The root cause is that their martial spirit not only locks their upper limit, but also affects the speed of their cultivation progress. Even with the use of pills, the effect is not good. Ning Tian's cultivation progress speed is already at the genius level.

For ordinary Soul Masters, becoming a Title Douluo is a very difficult hurdle, but for the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, becoming a Soul Saint is an even more difficult hurdle!
