Scheming Against the Clear Sky Sect

Yang Xiong was only now beginning to understand Tang Chen's true status in the Soul Master world.

Tang Chen not only intimidated the entire Spirit Hall with his strength, but even the entire Soul Master world. He was the true leader of the Upper Three Sects against Spirit Hall.

If Spirit Hall truly confirmed that Tang Chen was dead, it would likely descend into chaos instantly, and Spirit Hall would immediately rule the world.

Yang Xiong thought for a long time before speaking, "Sect Leader, Tang Chen's life and death are unknown. Should we make other plans?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "All plans must be built upon strength. Originally, we placed our hopes on Tang Hao becoming the next Tang Chen, but based on Tang Hao's condition last time, his talent should have been wasted quite a bit. Of course, Little Xiong, you have shown me new hope. If you can be given fifty years, perhaps you can truly reach Tang Chen's realm."

A bitter smile appeared on Yang Xiong's lips. Let alone fifty years, Spirit Hall wouldn't even give him ten years. In fact, the most dangerous moment was less than a year away.

And Spirit Hall's strength was truly despairing. Even if Spirit Hall wanted to unify the world now, there was probably no one in the world who could stop them.

The scene was silent for a long time. Everyone looked at this information without a word, and even Ning Rongrong lacked her usual youthful innocence.

Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, "Sect Leader, we living people can't just be suffocated by urine. What are your plans, Sect Leader?"

Ning Fengzhi's face seemed a little calm, "Over the years, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been on good terms with the Heaven Dou Empire. Although the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master strength is average, it has a million strong army. The Star Luo Empire also has several million troops, which can barely deter Spirit Hall."

Yang Xiong shook his head, "Sect Leader, I think people can only rely on themselves. The actions of the army are ultimately a bit inconvenient. What can truly be relied on are Soul Masters, especially top-tier Soul Masters."

Ning Fengzhi said, "Little Xiong, why don't you tell me what we should do? After all, the strength gap between the two sides is too great."

Yang Xiong's expression became extremely serious, "Sect Leader, in the final analysis, we need to strengthen ourselves and increase our allies."

Ning Fengzhi immediately became interested, "How exactly should we do that? There is no one left on the entire Douluo Continent who can become our ally."

Yang Xiong said, "First, we need to concentrate our strength. We can't let the enemy seize an opportunity. We've found that many of our sect disciples are out handling affairs, as many as forty percent, as few as thirty percent. That's a full two thousand Soul Masters."

"I suggest it's best to control the number of sect disciples going out, so at least the sect won't be empty internally."

Ning Fengzhi was stunned when he heard this, and finally said, "Little Xiong, you should know that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the richest sect in the world. Only with enough disciples traveling outside can we ensure the continuation of the sect's business. If we reduce the number of disciples going out, I'm afraid the sect's control over business will decrease significantly."

"Furthermore, many disciples going out to handle affairs are related to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Abruptly withdrawing them would likely cause significant economic losses."

Yang Xiong suddenly realized. No wonder Spirit Hall could seize such a good opportunity. It turned out that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect itself had leaked the information.

Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking, "Sect Leader, have you ever thought that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is very deep? Not all imperial disciples are as they appear. Even Xue Qinghe's ability to inherit the position of Crown Prince was only after the Emperor Xue Ye lost two sons that he was put in that position."

Ning Fengzhi's expression froze when he heard this, "Little Xiong, do you have some misunderstanding about Qinghe? Although there are many rumors outside, I believe Qinghe is not the kind of person who would harm his brothers."

Yang Xiong was speechless when he heard this. The Sect Leader of a dignified Upper Three Sect, and also known as the world's number one businessman, was actually fooled by Qian Renxue, this imposter, for so long, and even meticulously taught her and invested a large amount of resources. How could people in this world become so naive?

However, Yang Xiong couldn't expose it, "Sect Leader, what I mean is that any internal struggle within an imperial family will be extremely brutal and bloody. They will stop at nothing for power. We cannot easily believe that the position of Crown Prince is so easily obtained."

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed, "Little Xiong, then what do you think we should do?"

It was clear that Ning Fengzhi was very unhappy at this moment. It seemed that he truly admired Xue Qinghe. After all, their personalities and ways of handling things were very similar. In this world, the relationship between master and disciple was like half a father and son.

Yang Xiong said helplessly, "The true decision-maker of the Heaven Dou Empire is the Emperor Xue Ye. Whether it's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Prince Xue Beng, or even Prince Xue Xing and Princess Xue Ke, inheriting the throne is just a word from the Emperor Xue Ye. We should pay more attention to cooperation with the Emperor Xue Ye. The position of Crown Prince is just an heir."

"At least before the Emperor Xue Ye breathes his last, he is the sole controller of the Heaven Dou Empire, even the Crown Prince is no exception."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "The Emperor Xue Ye is a man of deep foresight and profound scheming. Although his demeanor is gentle, only after long contact do you realize his ruthlessness. From a business perspective, he is not a good business partner, and I dare not put too much of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's stake on the Emperor Xue Ye."

Yang Xiong smiled, "Sect Leader, we are just a sect. Why get overly involved in the affairs of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? Instead of sending a large number of disciples to assist the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, it's better to fully support the Emperor Xue Ye and at the same time focus on our own development. How much impact does the Heaven Dou Empire's business have on our sect?"

"Even if we only send ten percent of our disciples out to handle affairs, with the prestige of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the actual loss of profit will definitely not be too much."

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a long time before speaking, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, Rong Rong, what do you three think? Especially Rong Rong, you've also started to get involved in our sect's business recently."

Sword Douluo remained silent when he heard this, clearly not caring about these worldly matters. However, Bone Douluo's face showed a hint of hesitation, and he finally spoke, "Fengzhi, you've been too concerned with the sect's business over the years. Perhaps it can allow our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to accumulate a massive amount of wealth, but we are ultimately developing in the Soul Master world. Wealth is only secondary. Only strength is the true foundation."

"You also know the recent situation of the Elephant Armor Sect, coupled with Spirit Hall's current covetous gaze. I think Little Xiong makes sense. We still need to consolidate our strength."

Bone Douluo had always handled all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's unknown affairs, having come into contact with a lot of darkness, and was even clearer about what the key to the sect was.

And Ning Rongrong thought for a while before speaking, "Dad, actually our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is already rich enough. I recently looked at the sect's situation, and even if there is no business for decades, it won't affect the sect's development."

"Furthermore, according to Little Xiongzi, as long as ten percent of the sect's disciples are active outside, it will definitely be the most profitable sect on the entire continent."

Ning Fengzhi finally nodded, "Alright, I will re-plan the sect's business situation recently and try to keep the disciples in the sect to cultivate, and I will ensure everyone has enough cultivation resources."

As Yang Xiong expected, Ning Fengzhi was an absolute businessman. He was clearer about how to choose between gain and loss.

And Ning Fengzhi continued, "Little Xiong, what about the foreign aid you mentioned just now?"

Yang Xiong looked extremely serious at this moment, "Sect Leader, do you still have contact with the Clear Sky Sect?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The Clear Sky Sect had been in seclusion for almost twenty years, and they didn't expect Yang Xiong to ask this question.

A bitter smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's lips, "Of course I do. If it weren't for our secret support, do you think the Clear Sky Sect's thousand-plus Soul Masters hiding in their ancestral land would have cultivation resources? They might not even have living resources. How could the little money earned by the Moon Pavilion be enough?"

Yang Xiong quickly said, "Then may I ask, Sect Leader, do you know what kind of strength the Clear Sky Sect has now? How many Titled Douluo are there?"

Ning Fengzhi said, "I'm not sure about the specifics, but they should have produced Titled Douluo over the years. Although they haven't said it explicitly, I know it from some clues."

Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking, "Sect Leader, we need allies now. No matter what, we must find a way to get the Clear Sky Sect to come out."

"I once read some records of the Soul Master world. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were known as the Haotian Twin Stars back then, with extremely outstanding talent and strength. Although Tang Hao is called Haotian Douluo, in terms of talent, Tang Xiao is probably not inferior to Tang Hao at all, especially since this person has a steady personality. His current strength is probably quite a bit stronger than Tang Hao's."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Little Xiong, you're thinking too simply. If the Clear Sky Sect doesn't come out, Spirit Hall will still have some reservations. At least Spirit Hall's Enshrinements won't easily appear. But once the Clear Sky Sect comes out, the alliance between the two sides will be void, and then Spirit Hall will probably truly show its fangs."

Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Sect Leader, we still need to know ourselves and our enemies. No matter what, we at least need to know the strength of our allies. Otherwise, if we rashly go to war with Spirit Hall, the result will likely be very tragic."

Even though Yang Xiong said this, Ning Fengzhi was still a little unmoved. It was clear that on one hand, he considered the Clear Sky Sect an ally, and on the other hand, he was equally wary of the Clear Sky Sect. If this number one sect in the world truly came out, it would likely affect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's position in the Soul Master world.

At this moment, Yang Xiong was also very helpless. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength, it was still too far behind Spirit Hall, while the Clear Sky Sect was completely slacking off, waiting until both sides were fighting to the death before coming out to clean up the battlefield.

As a result, when the Clear Sky Sect came out, there were a full 7 Titled Douluo, shocking the world, and it instantly became the number one sect in the world.

It could be said that the Clear Sky Sect both preserved its strength and obtained the final victory. This calculation was indeed very good, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family were either destroyed or severely damaged.

Finally, Yang Xiong said, "Sect Leader, even if the Clear Sky Sect doesn't come out, we still need to know the strength of our allies. Why not ask Bone Douluo to personally go to the Clear Sky Sect and communicate with their Sect Leader Tang Xiao about coming out? Otherwise, if Spirit Hall continues to develop like this, even if the Clear Sky Sect comes out, the situation in the Soul Master world will have already been decided."

"Of course, if possible, I would also like to personally go to the Clear Sky Sect and see the legendary number one Tool Martial Soul."

Ning Fengzhi did not object to Yang Xiong's suggestion. It was clear that he also wanted to understand the true strength of the Clear Sky Sect.

Yang Xiong believed that as long as Bone Douluo went to the Clear Sky Sect and roughly understood the Clear Sky Sect's strength, Ning Fengzhi would definitely re-examine the positions and actions of both sides.

Of course, Yang Xiong also proposed another suggestion, which was for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to try to communicate with Dugu Bo, even if it meant spending resources and treasures, they had to form an alliance with Dugu Bo.

Ning Fengzhi was very interested in this suggestion. Dugu Bo was known as invincible in group battles and could make up for some of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's shortcomings.

In fact, ever since resolving the past grievance of stealing the Immortal Herb with Dugu Bo, Yang Xiong had always wanted to pull Dugu Bo into the Body Sect.

Unfortunately, that old fellow Dugu Bo had always been very hostile towards Yang Xiong. Even though he was very close to Yang Wudi, every time he met Yang Xiong, he would puff out his beard and glare, finding fault everywhere, and Yang Xiong couldn't say anything.
