Chapter 219: 238. Capture Her for Breeding
To ensure the martial soul inheritance only passes within their own surname, the Clear Sky Sect has a strict iron law: any sect female disciple who marries out or elopes is regarded as betraying the sect. To maintain bloodline purity, the Clear Sky Sect will pursue and kill this woman, her elopement partner, and their bloodline descendants until they are completely eradicated.
Through repeated honor killings, the Tang family achieved their plan of binding the Clear Sky Hammer to the Tang family.
The Tang family is typical; the Seven Treasure Ning family and Blue Electric Jade family are largely the same.
Now, you tell Ning Fengzhi that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda he has bitterly pursued has appeared in an outsider's hands. What would Ning Fengzhi do?
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi's heart is complex, excited yet unwilling.
Excited that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has emerged, giving their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect hope to upgrade to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Unwilling that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has appeared in an outsider's hands.
And on someone who has a grudge with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Luo Xingqi, from an emerging family. Because their family's development touched the interests of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi hoped to annex them but was refused. Thus, Ning Fengzhi used some small tricks to make their family disintegrate, with parents committing suicide due to massive debts, and even their daughter sold into slavery.
Originally, this matter would have ended, but you tell Ning Fengzhi this girl actually possesses the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? This truly puts me, Ning Fengzhi, in quite a difficult spot!
"Sect master, what do you plan to do?" A Ning family elder asked.
"Do I even need to say? Since it's a girl, that's easy to handle." Ning Fengzhi said: "Capture her, breed her, let her bloodline continue in our Ning family."
As the head of the family, how could Ning Fengzhi allow another Nine Treasure Luo family to appear outside his Seven Treasure Ning family? Moreover, this woman harbors hatred toward their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If left to develop, she would inevitably become a major threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Sect master, leave this matter to me." Gu Rong volunteered: "By the way, let me capture that kid too."
The kid Gu Rong mentioned was named Zhao Hengning, who possessed the same martial soul as Bone Douluo Gu Rong. This was hard for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not to notice. Therefore, while investigating Luo Xingqi's identity, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also investigated Zhao Hengning's identity.
This investigation was shocking.
Gu Rong's martial soul had the space attribute allowing free movement, so he had always handled the dirty work for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, assassinating enemy forces' promising seedlings. Such things Gu Rong had done plenty.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence network spanned the world. To curb Spirit Hall's development, before Ning Fengzhi became sect master, he began implementing a plan. This plan involved investigating Spirit Hall's martial soul awakenings. Whenever they discovered Spirit Hall awakening a genius in some countryside, they would secretly recruit them. For those insistent on joining Spirit Hall, they could only send them to meet God.
Zhao Hengning's brother was sent to meet God by Gu Rong this way. With this intelligence in Ning Fengzhi's hands, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
What kind of academy is this Spark Academy? Gathering two enemies of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in one academy—what are they planning? Planning to revolt?
These two must either be controlled or eliminated; otherwise, he couldn't eat or sleep in peace.
"You go. Handle the matter cleanly. Don't let the others from the Spark Team go either." Ning Fengzhi said.
"Rest assured. Don't you trust me to handle things?" Gu Rong then left the hall.
The Spark Team's seven members had never hidden their origins.
Thus, the major powers on the continent could easily investigate their backgrounds.
It could be said that those with grudges against the two empires' royals or the old upper three sects.
With this information in the hands of the continent's rulers, it was undisguised killing intent.
Dai Tianfeng, upon learning that a descendant of one of the materials from a village he used to cultivate his fallen soul master legion actually possessed both White Tiger and spirit cat martial souls, immediately revealed killing intent.
The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect also investigated Lin Chen's identity as Yu Xiaogang's former disciple. Since it was a grudge Yu Xiaogang had created, they didn't care much about that. What truly concerned them was that Lin Chen possessed the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect's martial soul. Thus, they also sent people to carry out honor killing.
Of course, there were also those who still didn't know what was going on, like the Heaven Dou Xue family, who had no influence in Shrek and thus knew nothing. Furthermore, the Emerald Swan and the Xue family's inherited swan martial soul were another matter; they found it hard to connect it to themselves.
On the Clear Sky Sect side, since they had secluded themselves, and the only wandering Tang Hao didn't know where he was, they didn't know first that another suspected Clear Sky Hammer martial soul soul master had appeared in the world.
Thus, along this road, the Spark Team continuously encountered assassinations from the Star Luo Empire and Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect.
These forces' assassinations were ultimately all resolved by Snow Woman.
Under the cover of night, the Spark Team left the city and walked on a rural path.
"They're here." Snow Woman stopped and said to the seven Spark members behind her. They all stopped.
Suddenly, the space in front of them became pitch black and deep like white paper splashed with ink.
A pair of bone claws protruded from the inky tunnel, tearing open the space. Immediately after, a bone dragon dozens of meters long flew out from inside the space, until it bared its teeth and claws, letting out a deafening roar toward the Spark Team.
Atop the dragon head stood a man high up. This man had robust bones, skin tightly clinging to the bones, looking extremely eerie. He looked down condescendingly at the eight from the Spark Team.
"Everyone, your journey ends here. Sect master specially ordered me to invite you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a chat."
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine soul rings encircled the huge bone dragon's edges, full of oppressive force.
However, what surprised Gu Rong was that he didn't sense fear from the Spark Team members.
Do they have something to rely on? The bone dragon thought.
"To take away my students, you need to see if you have the ability. First, take my palm."
Emperor Palm, Great Cold Without Snow!
Snow Woman appeared in the sky above Gu Rong. She struck out with one palm, turning into a huge ice-blue palm print. The palm print descended from the sky toward the bone dragon, making the bone dragon seem as tiny as a fly before the ice crystal giant palm.
At this moment, Gu Rong realized what kind of enemy he faced.
An enemy with unfathomable soul power.
He sensed crisis and instinctively urged soul power to tear space and escape, but he despaired to find that even space was frozen by this bone-chilling cold.
In the end, one palm fell!
