Chapter 10 Ning Fengzhi Chenxin Makes His Move, I, Ye Tianchen, Voluntarily Withdraw from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
"Connection?"
Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes, clearly unable to understand what connection Ye Tianchen, a notorious good-for-nothing in his clan, had with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the three upper sects.
"Tianchen has been kind to Rongrong."
Ning Fengzhi smiled.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and always repays kindness."
Ye Tianchen's heart skipped a beat, but he knew that Ning Fengzhi was lying, because strictly speaking, today was the first time he and Ning Rongrong had met.
Unless the system rewards are two-way, Ning Rongrong will receive rewards from the system while feeding him.
That's right. In the original novel, Ning Rongrong's soul power level was only level 26. The sudden increase of three levels must be thanks to the system!
With a sudden realization, Ye Tianchen completely relaxed. It seemed that this time, he wouldn't need to use his trump card to save his life.
"So, what does Sect Master Ning mean?"
Yu Yuanzhen's voice turned somber, his face began to turn pale, and his address was no longer as intimate as before.
"Since Tianchen wants to break away from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, why doesn't Brother Yuanzhen grant his wish?"
Ning Fengzhi's tone was gentle, yet carried an air of unquestionable authority.
"Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to compensate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan for the resources they consumed in raising Tianchen by doubling the amount."
Lightning surged in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, and even his breathing became heavy.
"Ning Fengzhi, this is an internal matter of my clan!"
Fine lightning bolts shot out from Yu Yuanzhen's body, revealing the aura of a level 95 Super Douluo, which pressed down on Ning Fengzhi, a Soul Saint, like a tidal wave.
"That was originally the case."
Chen Xin suddenly spoke, his voice like the ringing of a sword.
"But now, this child has done a favor for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and repaying kindness is a principle of our sect."
As they spoke, an invisible sword aura spread out, easily slicing through the overwhelming pressure.
A level 96 Title Douluo versus a level 95 Title Douluo—a difference of just one level, yet worlds apart.
Feeling his soul power pressure being easily broken by Chen Xin, Yu Yuanzhen's face turned ashen.
He couldn't believe that Ye Tianchen had any connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he couldn't understand why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be so forceful for the sake of this good-for-nothing Ye Tianchen, and he couldn't understand why Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin would personally step forward.
"Sect Master Ning."
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and spoke in a low voice.
"With the alliance between the two sects imminent, isn't it a bit too much to risk damaging our relationship over such a junior?"
The implication is that if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect insists on interfering, the alliance will fall through.
Despite Yu Yuanzhen's threat, Ning Fengzhi's smile remained unchanged.
"The alliance is a major event and will naturally not be affected by it, but repaying kindness is also a principle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"How about this: Tianchen will leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, and my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to compensate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan five times the amount of resources they consumed in raising him..."
After a slight pause, Ning Fengzhi continued to add.
"At the same time, in the terms of the two alliances, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to make concessions and give up 10% of the resources to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan."
Yu Yuanzhen's pupils contracted slightly, and a burning desire rose in his heart. He could disregard the five times compensation, but that ten percent share had already tempted him.
But looking at Ye Tianchen's calm face, he felt a sense of resentment.
"What if I disagree?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked in a deep voice.
In response to him was Chen Xin, who stepped forward.
Although the Seven Kill Sword was not drawn, its sword energy was already substantial.
"Then I'll have to experience the skills of you, old dragon."
The atmosphere was tense, and the blue bricks underfoot cracked inch by inch under the impact of the sword energy. Even the dragon-shaped stone carving on the dome began to shake, and gravel fell like rain.
After a full ten breaths of stalemate, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly smiled.
"Since Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo value this boy so much, it would seem unreasonable for me to insist further."
He turned to look at Ye Tianchen.
"From this day forward, you, Ye Tianchen, are stripped of all your rights and expelled from the clan. From now on, you are forbidden from acting in the name of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, from identifying yourself as a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, and from revealing clan secrets. If you disobey, I swear to kill you."
Yu Yuanzhen rarely called Ye Tianchen by his real name. His voice was filled with undisguised killing intent, which was also a message to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin that if Ye Tianchen violated any of the rules, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan would definitely take his life.
Ye Tianchen will remember this.
"Let's go."
Yu Yuanzhen turned his back, his voice devoid of emotion.
"From this day forward, you will have no further connection with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan."
He paused briefly before continuing.
"Sect Master Ning, today is not a good day to discuss matters. Let's wait for another auspicious time to discuss the alliance between our two sects."
As Ye Tianchen walked out of the Thunder Palace with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, he took a deep breath, feeling as if a thousand-pound shackle had been lifted from his body.
A cold autumn wind blew, and a chill ran down his back. He then realized that his clothes were already soaked with sweat.
"Many thanks to Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo for saving me."
On his way out, Ye Tianchen didn't forget to bow and thank the two of them.
"You're welcome, but the person you should thank the most isn't us, but Rongrong."
Following Ning Fengzhi's gaze, Ye Tianchen immediately spotted Ning Rongrong standing gracefully at the foot of the mountain.
"Let's go, let's talk outside."
As if sensing Ye Tianchen's gaze, Ning Rongrong parted her pink lips slightly.
On the main peak, Yu Yuanzhen watched the four figures disappear into the distance.
"Clan leader, should we send someone to keep an eye on him?"
A dark figure appeared behind Yu Yuanzhen at some unknown time.
"No rush. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can protect him for a while, but not forever."
"Clan leader, what about the alliance..."
"Let's continue the discussion."
Yu Yuanzhen sneered.
"But the conditions need to be changed. Since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to pay the price for a piece of trash, then they should pay even more. Anyway, they are not short of money."
He watched Ye Tianchen's receding figure, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Ye Tianchen, do you think you're safe just because you have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protecting you? I'll uncover all the secrets you're hiding sooner or later.
You thought Ning Fengzhi was a good person, but you didn't know that when the stakes are high enough, even a saint can turn into a vicious wolf.
Then you will understand what it means to be innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure!
In the distance, Ye Tianchen and Ning Rongrong walked side by side behind Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, sunlight shining through their bodies onto Ye Tianchen's resolute face.
The crisis was temporarily averted, but a greater crisis was already brewing. Given Yu Yuanzhen's personality, he would certainly not let this matter go so easily, unless he stayed in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for the rest of his life.
But Ye Tianchen obviously wouldn't do that, so this matter will only end when one side comes to a conclusion.
No matter how long and thorny the road ahead may be, at least for now the sun is shining on him, and he is a free man.
As they boarded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's carriage, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan gradually receded into the distance behind them, accompanied by the rapid yet steady hoofbeats of the Dragon Scale Horses.
"Are you really not going to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
At the crossroads between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Star Dou Forest, Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Tianchen in front of her and parted her pink lips slightly.
