Chapter 256: Ning Rongrong, One Is Enough

"You're the ones who shouldn't exist!"

"It's precisely because of you that this continent has stagnated, even regressed for many years!"

"Your existence is the real reason progress has been held back!"

"Besides, I'm taking revenge—what is there that I shouldn't do?"

In the face of Oscar and Ning Rongrong's accusations, Qian Renxue sneered and fired back coldly.

Whether she stood on moral high ground or not, why should she restrain herself when it came to vengeance?

"You…"

Oscar and the others were enraged by her words.

Of course, they would never acknowledge what Qian Renxue said.

But deep down, some part of them was indeed stung by her accusations.

They had heard Qian Renxue's bold declaration about rebuilding the Spirit Empire. Setting aside their differences, what she said did make some sense.

Even if they forced themselves to deny it, they couldn't help but admit it.

But admitting was one thing—they would never confess to being in the wrong.

Besides, it wasn't like they had done nothing. Tang San had been the one who failed to act. Back then, they fought against the Spirit Empire for the sake of their sects—just like Qian Renxue was seeking vengeance now. They weren't in the wrong at all.

"I'd like to see how long you can protect your sect!"

Qian Renxue no longer bothered with arguments. With a sneer, she struck again.

Buzz—

In the void, countless black sword blades condensed and, under Qian Renxue's control, rained down like a storm.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Seeing her attack, the remaining members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan all turned pale once more.

But against a god, there was nothing they could do. They knew their soul skills were useless.

All they could do was look to Oscar and Ning Rongrong with hope.

The two had blocked Qian Renxue's last attack—perhaps they could do it again.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong didn't disappoint. The moment their eyes met, they reached out and held hands, unleashing a powerful fusion technique together.

"Martial Soul Fusion Technique: Divine Shelter!"

A dazzling blend of nine colors and golden light burst forth, forming a massive barrier that rose up and shielded everyone inside.

This wasn't just a fusion of Oscar and Ning Rongrong's martial souls—it was a technique derived from the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food.

And since Oscar and Ning Rongrong had borrowed the gods' power, they could now use it.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Qian Renxue's attacks struck the shield, but they were all blocked.

And the barrier showed no signs of dissipating—it looked like it could last for quite a while.

"They blocked it!"

"That's great!"

"…!"

Seeing this, the surviving disciples all breathed a collective sigh of relief. They were safe for now.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. Oscar and Ning Rongrong's defense technique was extremely powerful. Breaking through it would be no easy feat.

Still, it would only cost her time.

As long as the two gods didn't continue supplying them with divine power, she was confident she could take Oscar and Ning Rongrong down.

What she feared was the gods continuing to support them.

And that was entirely possible—they were, after all, their chosen successors.

If Oscar and Ning Rongrong were beaten or killed by someone else, the gods might not interfere.

But if their opponent was another god—Qian Renxue—then things were different.

"Qian Renxue, Oscar and Ning Rongrong are the successors chosen by me and my wife."

As expected, the God of Food's divine sense reached out to Qian Renxue and began communicating directly with her.

He didn't say much, but the meaning was clear—they would protect Oscar and Ning Rongrong no matter what.

Facing the God of Food's projection in the spiritual realm, Qian Renxue's gaze turned even colder.

These gods were just as shameless as the Sea God had once been.

If not for the Sea God's interference, Tang San would've died by her hand long ago.

"Qian Renxue, leave this to me."

Just as Qian Renxue prepared to retort and refuse to back down, Su Mo's voice rang in her mind.

Her eyes flickered slightly, but her expression remained cold as she stared down the God of Food.

The God of Food thought Qian Renxue was about to reject him.

But instead, she withdrew her divine sense.

And without hesitation, her true body turned and left.

Her retreating figure remained icy cold.

It was clear—she didn't want to leave, but she had no choice.

"Sigh~

If not for Oscar and Ning Rongrong, I really wouldn't want to make things difficult for her."

After Qian Renxue left, the Nine-Colored Goddess appeared behind the God of Food. She looked in the direction where Qian Renxue had vanished and let out a quiet sigh.

She felt like they were bullying her.

Back when Tang San was resurrected, she had already felt it was unfair.

Without the secret assistance of her and the God of Food, Oscar and Ning Rongrong wouldn't have been able to bring Tang San back to life.

If that hadn't happened, then the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong wouldn't have died, and the Angel God Qian Renxue wouldn't have been crippled, her godhood shattered.

And now that Qian Renxue had finally recovered her divine power… they were doing this again…

In short, the Nine-Colored Goddess felt a bit ashamed.

"…"

Hearing his wife's words, the God of Food fell silent for a moment as well.

He too admitted—it was, indeed, a bit like bullying.

"No matter what, Oscar and Ning Rongrong are still outstanding."

In the end, that was all the God of Food could say.

They had chosen Oscar and Ning Rongrong as successors, so all they could do was apologize to Qian Renxue.

"…Mn."

The Nine-Colored Goddess responded softly.

Only after they confirmed that Qian Renxue had truly departed did they finally withdraw their divine senses from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

"She's gone!"

"Qian Renxue left!"

"We're finally safe…"

"Our Sect Master is amazing!"

"Sect Master is unstoppable!"

"…"

Seeing Qian Renxue leave, the people of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan erupted in cheers. The crisis was finally over.

The "Sect Master" they cheered for was naturally Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi had already passed the position of Sect Master to her. Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan wouldn't have been renamed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.

"It was Lord God of Food who persuaded Qian Renxue to leave!"

Oscar let out a sigh of relief.

Then, together with Ning Rongrong, he withdrew the Divine Shelter.

Before leaving, the God of Food had told them that it was he and the Nine-Colored Goddess who had persuaded Qian Renxue to retreat—but he also warned Oscar and Ning Rongrong that Qian Renxue might come back.

Because she had not left willingly.

If Qian Renxue returned with the imperial army, then he and the Nine-Colored Goddess would no longer be able to interfere.

Fighting Qian Renxue and fighting mortal troops were two entirely different matters.

So before departing, the God of Food urged Oscar and Ning Rongrong to hide as quickly as possible and focus on completing the divine inheritance. That was the safest route.

However, since the inheritance had been interrupted, they would now need some time before they could resume it.

"Alright, let's leave here immediately!"

Ning Fengzhi naturally had no objections after hearing Oscar's explanation.

His only concern now was for his daughter and son-in-law to complete the divine inheritance.

"Don't worry, Father. Xiao Ao and I will definitely protect everyone!"

"Yes, Father-in-law, rest assured—we're here."

Ning Rongrong and Oscar reassured him one after the other.

Such a harmonious scene only made the hidden Su Mo's gaze grow colder.

It was precisely because of this loving image between Oscar and Ning Rongrong that Su Mo decided to act again.

One Ning Rongrong was enough.

This Ning Rongrong, the one who wholeheartedly loved Oscar—there was no need for her to exist.

Getting Qian Renxue to leave was also part of his plan—to force the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess to withdraw their divine senses.

Now… it was time for him to make his move.
