Chapter 78 Blackmailing Ning Fengzhi again, blackmailing Xue Ye
Ning Fengzhi decided to continue with the previous strategy. "Brother Zhuang, the nobles have exposed the true face of the Spirit Hall and made great contributions to the peace and stability of the continent. Fengzhi admires them very much. But the Spirit Hall will not give up. If the nobles have any requests, our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is willing to help with all its strength."

"Thank you very much, Brother Ning. There are indeed places that need the nobles' help. The climate in Beiyuan is relatively cold, and the population is large. Our tribe is in urgent need of food. We also have few mineral resources and insufficient foundation. So I hope your clan can provide some free supplies."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened when he heard this, and his heart was racing. He felt that Zhuang Jingxing was showing off. Your Beiyuan has the fourth and sixth largest iron ore mines in the entire continent. Is this called a shortage of mineral resources? Although your Beiyuan is close to the Far North, the western coast is close to the warm current, and the climate is very suitable. It is one of the six famous grain fields on the continent. (Douluo does not have the concept of warm current, but the local environment is set like this)

But in order to let the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan stand in front of his own sect, Ning Fengzhi reluctantly agreed: "Okay! Our sect is willing to support the nobles with 1200 million gold soul coins again for free. However, our sect has already supported the nobles with materials worth tens of millions of gold soul coins. Now it is too difficult to come up with 1200 million gold soul coins again. It takes time to arrange."

"Besides, I think the nobles are not too short of resources nowadays. Why don't my sect provide some aid first? When the nobles have conflicts with the Spirit Hall again and they are short of materials, I will provide full aid. How do you think?" Ning Fengzhi was not a fool and had not forgotten his purpose.

"Master Ning's words chill my heart. Is our clan fighting against the Spirit Hall for ourselves? Isn't it for the peace of the entire continent? Your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has gained more benefits than anyone else."

"Could it be that Sect Master Ning is not really helping our clan, but wants our clan to confront the Spirit Hall, and then you, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, can reap the benefits? Do you really think that our Extreme Dao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan is easy to bully?" Zhuang Jingxing pretended to be angry. Murong Yunxue and Zhuang Shushen in the next yard also immediately locked onto Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo with their soul power, ready to attack at any time.

Jian Douluo's face turned red from being suppressed. He took several steps back before he could stabilize himself. He was horrified: "How is this possible? How is this possible? They are all level 96. Even if there are two of them, why is the gap so big? Is this the horror of a hundred thousand year spirit ring?"

Zhuang Jingxing continued, "You were the ones who took the initiative to request cooperation, and our clan also carried out a fierce confrontation with the Spirit Hall as agreed. If Sect Master Ning is dishonest and not sincere, then our clan does not recommend that you spread the news of your discord throughout the continent and declare that everything was caused by you! I have all the records of our previous exchanges, physical evidence, and certification, and I have recorded them with my soul guide."

"Now that the Spirit Hall has suffered huge losses and its prestige has been destroyed, they are now thinking about how to re-establish their prestige and how to divert internal conflicts through foreign wars! Guess who they will target to establish their prestige after hearing about this? Can your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect withstand the wrath of the Spirit Hall? Do you think that the Tiandou Royal Family, with the support of my clan, will fight against the Spirit Hall for you? Which force in the entire continent dares to help you?"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes became panicked when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his back. In the past, he always liked to use tricks, but he never expected today that the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan would not follow the routine and would take direct action. Even with the protection of Jian Douluo, he still felt that if he did not agree, the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan would kill him on the spot.

He also didn't expect that the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan would dare to completely overturn the table. Once the other party really did that, with the strength they had now shown and the unfathomable dark veins, the Spirit Hall would not dare to take action against the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan.

There will even be a brief friendship between the Spirit Hall and the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, and they will jointly attack his Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to establish their prestige and make up for their losses.

Unknowingly, Ning Fengzhi had been completely controlled by the extremely powerful Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. In fact, it all came down to their strength.

Ning Fengzhi begged for mercy quickly, "Brother Zhuang, you misunderstood, you misunderstood! I didn't express myself clearly before, that's not what I meant. Brother Zhuang, please rest assured, when I return, no matter which sect does not pay the salary, I will give these 1200 million gold soul coins to the nobles free of charge within three days."

The soul suppression of Murong Yunxue and Zhuang Shushen also dissipated.

Zhuang Jingxing put on a smile again, as if nothing had happened just now, "So it was a misunderstanding! That's good, that's good, Sect Master Ning, don't worry, in my heart you will always be my clan's most reliable partner and my clan's best friend."

"But you don't have to give me gold soul coins. Talking about money hurts our feelings. My clan has no interest in money at all. We are mainly afraid of disappointing your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so we are forced to accept it. You can just give my clan materials of equivalent value, such as food, precious medicine, fine steel, fine iron..."

Only the gold soul coins that can be exchanged for supplies are valuable. Once a war really breaks out in Douluo Continent, even if you have money, you can't spend it. Only supplies are hard currency.

Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay. In that case, I will go back to the sect to prepare the supplies."

Watching Ning Fengzhi's back as he walked away, Zhuang Jingxi also walked out from the next courtyard and asked, "If we do this, won't we be pushing too far? It will be bad if the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect becomes desperate and does something stupid."

Zhuang Jingxing laughed and said, "Does Ning Fengzhi have any choice? He can only provide resources to my clan honestly now, otherwise he will be suppressed by my clan and the Spirit Hall. Since he wants to use others, he must be prepared to be used."

"Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has accumulated tens of millions of gold soul coins over the years, and it won't even affect the normal operation of the sect. This hen that can lay eggs can't be stewed all at once."

Zhuang Xingyu also said: "Any conspiracy or trick is futile in the face of absolute power. Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the suppression of soul power."

More than two hours later, the guard came to report: "Headmaster, Emperor Xue Ye has returned again and said he has something important to discuss."

"Oh, please come in."

Soon, Xue Ye came in with Xue Beng, Xue Ke and others. It was another meaningless conversation, both sides flattered each other, and Zhuang Xingyu was praised again with the same words.

Only Xue Ke had a red face and kept scratching with her hands. She looked up at Zhuang Xingyu from time to time, and then quickly lowered her head.

Born in the imperial family, with low innate soul power, Xue Ke knew that her only way out was marriage. Since she was a child, she has learned various etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, shaping herself into a talented, gentle and lovely image, and creating a persona. After Xue Ke was six years old, her mother has been teaching her how to actively strive for a cost-effective marriage partner.

At the celebration, she saw Zhuang Xingyu. In terms of status, family background, appearance and talent, Zhuang Xingyu was the marriage partner she had always dreamed of.

After she came to the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, she had been secretly inquiring about Zhuang Xingyu's preferences and had approached him many times, but the other party was indifferent. She had already given up hope until just now on the road, when her father asked her if she was willing to be Zhuang Xingyu's concubine. She agreed without hesitation. Being a concubine is fine. Being the concubine of the one who is destined to be the helmsman of the world's number one clan (clan) in the future is much better than marrying those old men.

Xue Ye said to Zhuang Jingxing: "My daughter Xue Ke has a special liking for my nephew Xingyu. I heard that my nephew Xingyu is still unmarried. I want to betroth my daughter to Xingyu as a concubine. What do you think, King Qi?"

"Well, let the children solve their own problems! We, as elders, should not worry about it. As long as the children are in harmony with each other, I have no objection no matter what."

Xue Ye was immediately anxious when he heard this. Doesn't this mean rejection? Xue Ye was not too concerned about her children's marriage, but she was worried that the two largest forces in the empire would form an alliance, breaking the balance and being detrimental to the royal family.

Zhuang Jingxing naturally saw Xue Ye's concerns. There are more ways to deepen the relationship than just marriage. Giving money directly is the most effective way at any time. If it doesn't work, it means you haven't given enough.

Zhuang Jingxing planned to extort more money: "Brother Ye, don't worry, even if Sect Master Ning gave me supplies worth tens of millions of gold soul coins. But in my heart, you will always be my clan's most reliable partner and my clan's best friend."

"Back then, you helped my clan in times of need. I will always remember this kindness! We are a loving family, and Ning Fengzhi and others are outsiders."

Zhuang Jingxing added in his heart: My friends ≠ the friends of the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan. I, Zhuang Jingxing, cannot represent the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan.

Xue Ye then thought of the fact that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had previously transported supplies out in large numbers via carriages, but unexpectedly, they had given so many supplies to the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan.

Xue Ye immediately made a promise: "You have made such a great contribution to our Tiandou Empire. I feel that the previous thank you gift is not enough, so I decided to give you materials worth 1300 million gold soul coins for free, and give you 1000 sets of crossbows, shields, and armor used by the Imperial Guards!"

This has entered a vicious cycle. If Qibao is given, Xue Ye will naturally give it too, otherwise Xue Ye herself will feel uneasy. However, this is a good thing for the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Don't worry, my clan will immediately announce to the entire continent that we will always support the royal family of the Tiandou Empire. If any force wants to subvert the rule of the Xue family, my Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan will be the first to disagree!" Zhuang Jingxing also made a guarantee and painted a big picture!
There is no way. The Imperial Guards are the most elite troops in Tiandou. The crossbows, shields, and armor they wear are made with the craftsmanship passed down by the ancestors of Tiandou. They are expensive and there are not many in the whole Tiandou. When combined together, they can enhance the combat power of the Soul Sect and below by 10%. It is unique in the whole continent and is also one of the core heritage of the Xue family! Xue Ye's sincerity can be seen by taking these out.

Zhuang Jingxing and Xue Ye were both very happy.

Only Xue Ke had a gloomy face. They first met at the Chunyang Festival, and at first sight Xingyu was ruined for life.

　　I have deleted and modified a lot of content, and I can say that there is not a single sensitive word, but it just won’t pass the review, and I feel helpless.

　　The content of the next chapter is Tang San's reaction when he heard about Tang Hao. He refused to acknowledge that he was his father and was sarcastic about it.

　　Today (2.13) will be updated normally.

　　I will revise it again later. If it fails to pass the review, I will completely change the content of that chapter and change the plot tomorrow.
