Chapter 67: Ning Fengzhi, the Treasure Boy
After resolving the issue with the affiliated forces, three Soul Douluo guest officials from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect came to visit.
These guests were originally independent cultivators who had received favors from Zhuang Ziliang when they were young. Later, they joined the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect as guests. During the period of decline of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, they helped the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan in their personal capacity, both financially and physically.
The purpose of this visit is, firstly, to celebrate the birth of three titles in the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, and secondly, to conduct in-depth communication on behalf of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Facing the visit of an old friend, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan naturally entertained him well. After a banquet, Qibao Guest also told Ning Fengzhi's instructions and presented two 2-year-old soul bones, expressing his support for the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to become the new top three sects and the leader of the top three sects! He wanted to secretly form an alliance with the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to jointly resist the Spirit Hall.
If there is a conflict between the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and the Spirit Hall in the future and a war is going to take place, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will send another 1-year soul bone and one 3-year soul bone as a token of support.
Zhuang Xingyu and others naturally saw through Ning Fengzhi's purpose: they wanted the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to take the lead in fighting against the Spirit Hall, while Ning Fengzhi would take advantage of the situation behind the scenes.
Ning Fengzhi still wants to fish in troubled waters, but he wants nothing. The Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan will never give him that opportunity.
However, if a soul bone is delivered to your door, you should take it first.
Eliminating the forces of the Spirit Hall in Beiyuan Village is what the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan must do. If a force is full of spies planted by others, how can it be independent and autonomous? How can it be revived?
Therefore, whether Ning Fengzhi sends people or not, it will not affect the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan's plan to pretend to be bandits and deal with the Spirit Hall.
The Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan was very happy. I was originally planning to spend my own money and do my own business, but I didn’t expect a boy with treasures to jump out halfway.
The Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan immediately said: "We, the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan, agree to this matter and will soon attack the Spirit Hall. Let Sect Master Ning just wait for the victory report!" However, a large number of military shields, bows and crossbows and other weapons are urgently needed, and a lot of gold soul coins and food are still lacking.
As for forming an alliance, Zhuang Xingyu and others disagreed, because the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan only accepts completely subservient subordinate forces, and only cooperates, and does not form an alliance with any force.
On the other side, the Qibao Glazed Sect.
Ning Fengzhi was a little confused: "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, do you think the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan agreed too readily? Is there a trick?"
Ning Fengzhi didn't even dare to think about the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan clearing out the Spirit Hall's forces on a large scale.
Bone Douluo bowed his hands: "I think they just want the title of the world's number one sect! According to intelligence and history, the successive rulers of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan have always been obsessed with expanding their territory. All the generations of clansmen have regarded the expansion of the clan as their highest belief. Now that they have the opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step, it must be difficult to refuse."
"They have now released three titles, and they are very arrogant. They feel that they can go head-to-head with the Spirit Hall. This must be their mentality!"
"When I first became a Titled Douluo, I was also very arrogant and looked down on everyone. It was only as I got older that I gradually learned to be low-key."
Sword Douluo bickers with Bone Douluo: "Is that because you're getting older? You were clearly defeated by me."
Bone Douluo immediately retorted: "No, you are talking nonsense! It's just because of my age."
Jian Douluo curled his lips and continued to analyze: "Feng Zhi, we can look at the problem from the root. According to our intelligence and analysis of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, they don't have many common interests with the Spirit Hall. On the contrary, it is more in line with their core interests to join forces with us to deal with the Spirit Hall." Ning Fengzhi also said: "That's right! I think so too. No matter what the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan does, they will not violate their core interests."
"Since the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan has been fooled and wants to confront the Spirit Hall, then we should support him! Our sect has nothing but a lot of money."
"As long as they attack the Spirit Hall, we will send people to give them a 1-year spirit bone, a 3-year spirit bone, 1 tons of fine steel and fine iron, 1 million gold spirit coins, and a large amount of food and fodder."
In fact, it just happens to be in line with the core interests of both parties and is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
……
The next day, Zhuang Jingxing led the chief core elder and Zhuang Xingyu to convene the leaders of the affiliated forces and announced their plan to pretend to be bandits and eliminate the Spirit Hall's forces in Beiyuan.
Including abolishing slavery afterwards (with Beiyuan's current productivity, slavery should be abolished, which is also in the interests of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and its affiliated forces);
Completely ban human trafficking; let the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and its affiliated forces help the common people, the poor, and the former slaves of Beiyuan awaken their martial spirits; instead of using the Heaven Dou Empire to pay soul masters subsidies, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan will use it to double the subsidies for the common soul masters of Beiyuan (there are not many common soul masters in Beiyuan, most of them have power, so the financial pressure is not great)...
The Pegasus Clan, Tianshui College, the Jun Family and all other affiliated forces chose to support without hesitation, and requested to send troops to coordinate the battle with the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan!
First, they understand that this is a token of friendship. After doing this with the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, they are completely tied to the chariot of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, and only then can others truly trust you.
The second reason is that the Spirit Hall has oppressed them too much over the years, and they themselves have deep resentment towards the Spirit Hall.
The Angel God established the Spirit Hall for the benefit of the continent, and did many good things that were conducive to the development of the continent. Until the Qian Daoliu period, it did a very good job and was much stronger than the two empires and the three major sects.
But there are all kinds of birds in the forest. The current Spirit Hall, apart from awakening the soul power of civilians, is no different from the two empires. The two empires are also stupid. They receive so many soul master subsidies every year, but they don't pay them themselves, but let the Spirit Hall pay them and let the Spirit Hall win the hearts of the people. However, it is also possible that other agreements have been reached behind the scenes.
Especially in recent years, Bibi Dong has been busy fighting for power. She doesn't care whether her subordinates are loyal to the Spirit Hall, whether they are capable, or whether they have the bottom line as human beings. As long as they support Bibi Dong and oppose the Worship Hall, you will be reused!
As long as you are loyal to the Temple of Worship and believe in the Qian Family, you will not be reused and you will be suppressed. Gradually, those who originally had ideals and beliefs, after not getting a response from the Temple of Worship, gradually became corrupt with Bibi Dong, and after tasting the sweetness, they were even more reluctant to let go.
Just when Zhuang Jingxing was leading the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and its affiliated forces to secretly mobilize soldiers and spirit masters, someone sent an urgent report, "Patriarch, the Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop Salas led the Spirit Hall delegation to come and want to see you and the two supreme elders and the chief core elder. They said they have important matters to discuss. Judging from their attitude, they have bad intentions!"
Zhuang Jingxing ordered, "Let them wait in the front hall and keep a close watch on them. I will meet them after I have dealt with the matter."
Zhuang Xingyu was secretly delighted. "You have bad intentions? Great! I was just worried about not finding a reason! You, Sarath, came at the right time. No matter what you want to do next, you must be given a reason to lead the forces of the various branch halls, sub-hall and main halls in Beiyuanli to rebel, betray the Spirit Hall, seize a large amount of property of the Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire, provoke the relationship between the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan and the Spirit Hall, assassinate the pride of our clan, and attack our clan innocently."
"It seems that we have to change the plan. We will not pretend to be bandits. When the time comes, we will control Sarath to lead the killing, and our people will put on masks and claim to be Sarath's men. Let Sarath take the blame."
"It is clear that Sarath killed those who were unwilling to follow him in the various branch halls, and those who were willing to follow him were also killed by those who were unwilling to follow him. They died together. Then my clan came out to clean up the murderer Sarath."
"Your Spirit Hall should thank us for helping you get rid of the pests!"
