Showdown with Ning Fengzhi

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Yang Xiong and Ning Fengzhi sat together. There was no one else around, not even the Sword Bone Douluo who always protected him.

Both Yang Xiong and Ning Fengzhi wore extremely serious expressions at this moment, even somewhat reserved.

Yang Xiong had specifically requested to meet with Ning Fengzhi alone this time, primarily to discuss future matters.

Ning Fengzhi spoke calmly, "Little Xiong, just say what's on your mind. I've seen my share of storms."

Yang Xiong was silent for a moment before speaking, "Sect Leader, I have something I want to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for."

Ning Fengzhi countered, "Are you leaving for a period of time now, or do you plan to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect forever?"

A hint of conflict appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will always be my home. I am willing to give everything for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I also have my own ideals. I hope the Sect Leader will grant my wish."

A smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. "Is your ideal to establish a new sect with Yang Wudi and the others?"

Yang Xiong was immediately startled. "Sect Leader, how did you know?"

Ning Fengzhi's face showed a wry smile. "Everyone in Cloud Mist Mountain looks to you for guidance. How could there not be something going on? Moreover, your strength has grown stronger over the years, and your small group has become increasingly obvious. Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, and even Lin Gong, these people all follow you. Whether it's fighting against Spirit Hall or forming an alliance with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I wouldn't believe there aren't other connections."

"Besides, I am the Sect Leader after all, and I have seen more of the world than you. I can still guess a little of your thoughts."

Yang Xiong's expression was silent. "Sect Leader, I'm sorry."

Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Don't say you're sorry. Actually, I had already anticipated this. What do you plan to do next?"

Yang Xiong said, "Sect Leader, I have actually already established a new sect. Its name is the Body Sect."

"In the future, the Body Sect will continue to cooperate fully with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The two sides will always be allies. No matter what happens to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Body Sect will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Are you saying you'll stand together and face Spirit Hall like the current Upper Three Sects?"

Yang Xiong shook his head. "The so-called Upper Three Sects standing together is actually completely unreliable. There is no real connection between the two sides, nor are there any vested interests. It's more like a slogan."

"However, the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will support each other, each taking what they need, and the two sides will be as close as family."

Ning Fengzhi smiled. "You certainly think long-term. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the wealthiest sect in the world, and what it cares least about is money. And given the current situation of your Body Sect, you probably won't lack experts in the future, which can also make up for the deficiency of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as an auxiliary sect."

Yang Xiong nodded. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot be without Titled Douluo, and the Body Sect cannot lack financial support. This way, the two sides can make up for each other's shortcomings, and even influence the entire Soul Master world."

Ning Fengzhi's expression suddenly became serious. "How many people does your Body Sect have now, and what are your plans for the future?"

Yang Xiong's heart was startled again. Since Ning Fengzhi said this, he had basically recognized the status of the Body Sect, but there would also be an extra layer of distance between the two sides in the future. He would no longer be at the core of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking. "The Body Sect has five Grand Elders: Lin Gong, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and Dragon Duke. In addition, Zhao Wuji is an honored Elder of the Body Sect, and Oscar will be the Vice Sect Leader of the Body Sect in the future. Of course, this also includes all the members of their families, as well as all the personnel of the Body Academy."

"Furthermore, the Body Academy will be greatly expanded, and all the original Four Element Academies will join the Body Academy."

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he finally couldn't help but sigh. "It seems the establishment of your Body Sect has been going on for a long time, and you've even planned the sect thoroughly. Sect experts, potential personnel, finances, I'm afraid you've even considered the location of the new sect."

"However, have you thought about how to arrange your family? I don't think you can convince Yang Lin and Sun Yu to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Yang Xiong quickly said, "Sect Leader, my parents can follow their own wishes. They should continue to stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future, and I hope the Sect Leader will help take care of them."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. "It seems you really planned everything early. Where will the Body Sect be located next?"

Yang Xiong's expression was serious. "I plan to set up the sect in Thunder Valley. It's very suitable for cultivation, and the terrain is dangerous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly. "No wonder. So you want to set up the sect in Thunder Valley. It is indeed a good place, and its location is even better than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. No wonder after the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's destruction, the Agility Clan has been focusing on that area, and even the Defense Clan has started sending experts to Thunder Valley."

"Of course, you probably don't need to rely on my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect anymore. After all, you must have guessed long ago that Xue Qinghe would stage a palace coup. Not only did you prepare in advance, but you even took the opportunity to make a huge profit."

"It seems that whether it's judging people or planning for the sect, you already have the demeanor of a Sect Leader. You even think further ahead than I do."

Ning Fengzhi was indeed blindsided this time. His disciple, Xue Qinghe, whom he had painstakingly nurtured, turned out to be an imposter. Especially since Ning Fengzhi had been too closely tied to Xue Qinghe in the past, it had even made the Emperor Xue Ye wary.

If Ning Fengzhi had truly supported this imposter Xue Qinghe, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would likely have been completely ruined. Therefore, even after the Heaven Dou Palace Coup ended, Ning Fengzhi only symbolically bestowed a noble title. Instead of cooperating closely with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family as before, this was definitely the Emperor Xue Ye's apprehension towards Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi sighed, "This Heaven Dou Palace Coup caused heavy losses for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Not only did their subordinate Soul Master legions suffer heavy casualties, but they also lost their only heir. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, on the other hand, gained something, but the real beneficiary is you."

"Your Body Sect not only rendered meritorious service in protecting the emperor this time, but you also nominally gained Thunder Valley. Moreover, you secretly obtained immense benefits."

Yang Xiong remained silent upon hearing this. Yang Xiong had long anticipated this Heaven Dou Palace Coup and was even prepared for it, with the goal of maximizing profits.

When the Heaven Dou Palace Coup first erupted, Yang Xiong originally wanted to send Ning Rongrong away and act alone.

However, Ning Rongrong was very worried about Yang Xiong and insisted on staying with him the entire time, naturally knowing what he had done.

Ever since Heaven Dou City began to descend into chaos, especially when the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace started to riot, Yang Xiong and Ning Rongrong changed into Black Clothes and secretly infiltrated the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

During this time, Yang Xiong didn't pay attention to Xue Qinghe's situation. Instead, he directly ransacked the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Treasure Vault, taking possession of everything the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had stored for years.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Treasure Vault contained a vast amount of items and was extremely heavily guarded. Ordinary people simply couldn't break in.

But Yang Xiong, with just one person and one sword, violently broke open the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Treasure Vault and took everything inside for himself.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Treasure Vault not only had a huge amount of Gold Soul Coins, but also various treasures. The Gold Soul Coins alone were worth billions. Various rare Spirit Herbs and treasures were endless, and there were even quite a few Soul Bones. Unfortunately, most of them were Soul Bones with relatively low cultivation years, with only a few ten-thousand-year Soul Bones.

As for how to take the Treasure Vault away, that was the simplest thing. Yang Xiong had prepared many large storage Soul Tools, as well as the Vast Sea Universe Cover with its enormous capacity, directly sweeping the entire Treasure Vault clean.

This was also one of the reasons why Yang Xiong was late in the Heaven Dou Palace. Instead of struggling to fight Qian Renxue at the beginning, it was better to prepare for himself in advance. With the things from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Treasure Vault, the Body Sect would not lack any resources for decades or even centuries to come.

One must know that building a Sect requires a huge amount of resources, especially building a Sect of the Upper Three Sects level. The consumption is incredibly vast. Besides various ordinary buildings, there are also various Simulated Environments, and even the Sect's daily consumption is enormous. Yang Xiong didn't dare to place all his hopes on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After a long silence, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Little Xiong, you have planned for the future of the Body Sect, and even the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It can be said that in your plan, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Body Sect can develop better. But have you thought about Rong Rong? How will you and Rong Rong get along in the future?"

Yang Xiong fell silent upon hearing this. Ning Rongrong was someone he had always been afraid to face. As things stood, Ning Rongrong was definitely the next Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and he would be the Sect Leader of the Body Sect in the future. Would they still have more time to interact then? How should they balance the Sect and their personal feelings?

"Sect Leader, Rong Rong is the woman I love most in my life. I can give everything for Rong Rong, even my life."

Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Alright, how you talk to Rong Rong next is your own business. I hope you don't make Rong Rong sad."

Yang Xiong quickly said, "Thank you, Sect Leader, for your understanding. I will definitely not let Rong Rong down, nor will I let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect down."

At this moment, Yang Xiong truly breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Fengzhi had always been very good to him. The resources within the Sect could be said to be at his disposal. This kindness was truly impossible to repay.

Yang Xiong knew that establishing the Body Sect would definitely make Ning Fengzhi sad, and it was even possible for them to fall out. Now that he had Ning Fengzhi's approval, he finally felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

Ning Fengzhi seemed to think of something. "Oh, there's one more thing. Did you tell Tang Yuehua that you knew Tang Chen's whereabouts? What was your purpose in doing so? You should know Tang Chen's influence on the Soul Master world."

Yang Xiong shook his head. "Sect Leader, although I know Tang Chen's whereabouts, unfortunately, Tang Chen has now become half-human, half-ghost. Even the Clear Sky Sect cannot restore him. Therefore, Tang Chen will not have any impact on our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"As for the Clear Sky Sect, I don't know if they will choose to come out for a Tang Chen."
