Douluo: This soul master is a big eater

Soon, three days passed in a flash.

At night, Yun Yi couldn't help but frowned slightly as he watched Zhu Zhuqing who had entered a state of cultivation. Ning Fengzhi's efficiency was lower than he had imagined. Tomorrow was the day when the Royal Knights would set out. If Ning Fengzhi still made a decision, Tiandou City would obviously not be a good place to go.

Yun Yi paced back and forth in the room, looking at the moonlight outside the window and muttering in his heart, "I have even contacted my sister. This old fox won't even have the courage to try it out."

Just as Yun Yi was thinking, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation of soul power. Yun Yi's eyes condensed slightly, and he saw Gu Rong and three people walking out from the void. The people who came were Jiangu and Ning Fengzhi, father and daughter.

"Are you ready, Sect Master Ning?" Yun Yi chuckled.

"Your idea still needs to be improved in many aspects, but it's always good to give it a try. If it can show results later, the resistance within the sect will be much smaller." Ning Fengzhi looked at Yun Yi and said softly.

"Of course, otherwise what would we need you for? As for resistance, with the two of you behind you, is there anyone who dares to resist?" Yun Yi said bluntly.

Jian Gu and the other man frowned slightly when they saw Yun Yi like this, but thinking of the instructions Ning Fengzhi had given them before they came, they patiently endured it.

“Once the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower flows into other forces, their own business will inevitably be affected. People die for money and birds die for food. Even with Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, they will not take action unless it is absolutely necessary. They are direct disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.” Ning Fengzhi said softly.

"There is no end to making money. According to the current situation on the continent, you are a piece of fat meat. Even if the sword bones are strong, there are only two of you. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. Instead of starting over, why don't you take the initiative to make concessions? In the face of death, no one will choose those useless goods. Well, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get to the Pope's Palace." Yun Yi said softly.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and whispered to Gu Rong beside him, "Uncle Gu, you have worked hard."

Gu Rong nodded slightly and waved his hand, and a twisted void passage appeared in front of the four people.

According to Ning Fengzhi's own working style, Yun Yi now represents the Spirit Hall, and Ning Fengzhi should invite Yun Yi in himself, but Yun Yi is not just a representative of the Spirit Hall, and the same goes for Yun Yi. He is waiting for Ning Fengzhi to go in first. On the one hand, it is to step on his own landmine, and on the other hand, no matter how bad their relationship is, at least it should be acceptable in front of Ning Rongrong, so it is reasonable to let Lao Deng go in front.

"Xiaoyi, let's go."

At this time, Ning Rongrong seemed to see what the two were thinking. She took Yun Yi's hand and pulled Yun Yi towards the space channel.

Yun Yi nodded. He still trusted Ning Rongrong 100%. Then Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin followed them and slowly entered the space passage.

When Yun Yi entered the space channel, he looked at the slightly distorted scene around him with great interest.

"Is this the ability of space? A magical ability." Yun Yi said secretly in his heart. Being in space, he could see the surrounding scenery changing rapidly at an extremely fast speed, but he did not feel the rapid flow of air due to the rapid movement.

“No wonder the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was almost wiped out in the original novel. But when it came to the battle of Jialing Pass, they were able to bring out an auxiliary army composed of disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Isn’t Gu Rong’s ability like a professional large transport aircraft?” Yun Yi said secretly.

While Yun Yi was thinking, several people had already arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Pope's Palace was located. Gu Rong also opened a space channel for everyone. Several people slowly walked out of the space in Gu Rong. In order to show respect to Ning Fengzhi, they chose to climb the mountain themselves.

They didn't encounter any palace guards along the way and had a smooth journey. It was obvious that Bibi Dong had prepared everything.

Not long after, the group arrived in front of the Pope's Palace. The main door of the Pope's Palace, which was never opened on weekdays, was now wide open at night, as if to welcome Ning Fengzhi and his group.

Seeing the wide-open palace door, Ning Fengzhi did not hesitate to lead everyone slowly into the palace through the main entrance.

The hall was empty, but it was not dark at night. The surroundings were quite bright, just like daytime. Yun Yi looked at the light sources and guessed that they should be precious metals that could glow at night.

Bibi Dong was also wearing a formal dress at this time, sitting solemnly on her Pope's throne.

"Greetings to His Holiness the Pope." Ning Fengzhi and his group bowed and saluted in unison.

Yun Yi stood quietly not far from Bibi Dong's throne, stating his position, and bowed slightly to Bibi Dong, saying, "Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

Bibi Dong looked at Yun Yi and nodded with satisfaction. She never expected that Yun Yi could give her a new surprise before leaving.

Then Bibi Dong waved her hand slightly and said softly to everyone, "No need to be so polite." Ning Fengzhi and others slowly sat down after hearing that.

"Master Ning, what brings you here so late at night?" Bibi Dong looked at Ning Fengzhi and said softly.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I have discussed with the elders of your palace and plan to make an investment in your palace." Ning Fengzhi looked at Bibi Dong and said softly.

"I remember that a few days ago, before the competition started, Sect Master Ning had already made his choice. I don't know why your sect suddenly changed its mind."

Yun Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this. The ambush that day was indeed a test by Bibi Dong.

Yun Yi said something unpleasant. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was just meddling in other people's business and offended the Spirit Hall. Wouldn't Tang Hao take action himself? His father didn't show up, but Chen Xin jumped out first, and as a result, he gained Tang San's illusory favor.

Which is more important, the hostility of the Spirit Hall or the favor of Tang San? Anyone with a normal brain would know how to choose.

“Your palace is very powerful, and I am worried… Now I think that I did make a foolish decision, pushing our sect to the opposite side of your palace. Fortunately, the elders of your palace helped me to resolve my doubts. I feel like I have been enlightened, and I am very grateful.” Ning Fengzhi said softly.

"Well... I was just testing the waters that day. Since Sect Master Ning is here today, let's forget about those things. I wonder what kind of investment Sect Master Ning wants to make in this palace." Bibi Dong looked at Ning Fengzhi and said softly.

"Ning doesn't know what His Holiness the Pope lacks. If His Holiness the Pope speaks, Ning will do his best." Ning Fengzhi played Tai Chi and pushed the question back to Bibi Dong. "Master Ning, to be honest, your investment makes me feel very embarrassed. In fact, I hope you can continue to fight against us. Our Spirit Hall has 70% of the spirit masters in the entire continent and dozens of titled elders. Although Xiaoyi said that accepting your investment is very beneficial in the long run, it is much more efficient to take action directly. This can also maximize the pace of the unification of the Spirit Hall. It's nothing more than investing some people. To be honest, in my eyes, the only four of you who are valuable to the Spirit Hall are you." Bibi Dong said, pointing to the people around Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi was silent. Indeed, to the Spirit Hall, only people like them were valuable. After hearing about the apparent strength of the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi's heart was already in turmoil. The strength of the Spirit Hall was much stronger than he thought. This was what Bibi Dong could tell him. What about those hidden cards?
Yun Yi was right. If such a force did not take the things out themselves, there would obviously be only one outcome. That was that the people from the Spirit Hall would take the things themselves, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would become the primary target of attack.

"Master Ning, are you unwilling?" Bibi Dong asked with a smile.

Ning Fengzhi's face was grim at this moment. He originally wanted to bargain with Bibi Dong, but he didn't expect Bibi Dong to go beyond her bottom line. "Your Holiness, you are joking. The two elders have followed me for many years and are old. If it is Rongrong, we can discuss it."

"Oh? Sect Master Ning just handed over his heir like that?" Bibi Dong asked in surprise.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Bibi Dong, his expression gradually calmed down, and he said softly, "Your Holiness, investment is also a form of cooperation. I can accept your conditions, but what can the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect gain from it?"

“Sect Master Ning, I have not considered too much about the details for now. If it is just this child, I can guarantee that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will have the opportunity to remain neutral, but the premise is that you can no longer invest in other sects.” Bibi Dong said softly.

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed. He wanted to say something, but Bibi Dong continued, "Sect Master Ning, please be patient. I want to talk to you first."

"Your Holiness, please speak." Ning Fengzhi looked at Bibi Dong and said calmly.

"Adding icing on the cake is not as good as helping someone in need. It is more precious. It is better to go all out than to bet on many sides. You can win more." Bibi Dong chuckled.

"What does your Holiness mean?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Bibi Dong with hesitation.

"I also know what Xiaoyi is thinking. It's a very good idea. But I have a better suggestion. That is that the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect should start an exclusive cooperation. I will provide the top combat spirit masters, and you, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, only need to provide people. Then the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will become a relationship in which you have me and I have you. In the future, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will obtain one-third of the elder seats in my Spirit Hall and help the hall to achieve unification. In the land ruled by the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will be given the right to exist independently. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can be the number one sect in the future empire." Bibi Dong looked at Ning Fengzhi and said softly.

Ning Fengzhi's pupils trembled when he heard this. Compared to what Yun Yi said, this would be more beneficial, but it would also lock the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect on the chariot of the Spirit Hall.

As time goes by, the direct disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will gradually be integrated into the Spirit Hall. After several years, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect may become a symbolic symbol.

"Master Ning, to be honest, rather than giving me an insignificant investment, I hope that we can carry out in-depth cooperation. If you really don't want to cooperate, I won't force you. We can give up the child, and I am not the kind of person who uses children to threaten others. If you want to preserve the sect, you must remain neutral and give us material compensation. This is the most basic requirement." Bibi Dong said lightly.

Listening to Bibi Dong's domineering words, Ning Fengzhi showed a wry smile. Given the power of the Spirit Hall, it did have the confidence to say this. However, when it came to investing in the huge Spirit Hall, the only people Bibi Dong could consider were her own daughter and the two pillars of the sect. However, these were not urgent needs for the Spirit Hall.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Yun Yi who was standing not far away. Yun Yi also spread his hands helplessly and said, "Sect Master Ning, I think the Pope's proposal is not bad. If the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect unite, then it will be a very easy task to sweep across the continent. By then, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will really become the number one sect in the world."

Yun Yi thought that Bibi Dong would ask for a huge sum of money, but he did not expect that Bibi Dong planned to turn the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect into her subordinate sect, a sect specializing in producing auxiliary supplies.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Bibi Dong with a complicated expression. He had thought about a lot of things in the past three days. If the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect remained neutral, it would be impossible to stop the Spirit Hall with just the two empires and Blue Lightning Haotian. If they wanted to save the sect from the Spirit Hall, they had to satisfy the Spirit Hall.

"Feng Zhi." Gu Rong and Chen Xin looked at Ning Fengzhi and reminded him softly. They had already sensed the gazes of the five people hiding in the hall, and they were all Titled Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi sighed slightly, glanced at Yun Yi who was standing there, and said with a complicated expression, "Your Holiness, I wonder if you can give me some time to think about it."

Bibi Dong nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course, Sect Master Ning, the sect's overall plan should naturally be carefully considered. Sect Master Ning can also think of other plans, and we will discuss them again."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Holiness." Then the four of them stood up. Bibi Dong looked at Yun Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, you can see them off."

"Yes, Your Holiness." Yun Yi nodded slightly. Then, the group slowly walked out of the Pope's Palace.

Not long after leaving the Pope's Palace, Ning Fengzhi whispered to Yun Yi, "It seems that your idea won't work."

"It's normal that the Spirit Hall, with its huge wealth and power, doesn't look down on you, a mere handful of people. Even if we remain neutral, you still need to come up with conditions in exchange. This is the gap in strength." Yun Yi said lightly.

"I thought you would let Rongrong stay." Ning Fengzhi said lightly.

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Master Ning, you are joking. Just because I like Rongrong doesn't mean His Holiness the Pope likes her. According to my estimation, the time for His Holiness the Pope to take action should be not far away. We are just children and cannot affect the situation on the mainland. You might as well let Jian Douluo work for the Spirit Hall. This way it will be more direct."

"Then what do you think I should choose?" Ning Fengzhi asked softly.

"Master Ning, the essence of war is to redistribute benefits. From the perspective of Spirit Hall, I certainly think you should agree to cooperate with His Holiness the Pope. His Holiness the Pope can give you one-third of the entire continent, which is enough for your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to reach a higher level. Of course, over time, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will gradually merge with the Spirit Hall. Whether this is good or bad is up to you to consider."

"Which is more important, people or sect? This is the question you should consider. If you merge with the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda will naturally have more and more spirit masters, and will always have a great say in the hall, but the sect will disappear. If you do not merge and remain neutral, you still have to take out the accumulated wealth and allow the Spirit Hall to unify. But in a unified state, will the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect still have a chance to expand?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Yun Yi deeply and said, "Everything you said is based on the premise that the Spirit Hall can be unified."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "So what if we don't unify? If we resist, can we get one-third of the right to speak on the entire continent? Two major empires, three major sects, and you are the priority target. You should understand this account better than me."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi sighed and said nothing. He just ordered Gu Rong to open the space tunnel and left.

Yun Yi looked at the people who were leaving, smiled, and slowly turned around.
