Chapter 3888

Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!

Just as Ning Fengzhi and others were discussing, they were interrupted by a Sect Disciple who suddenly burst in...

"Sect Master, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, I have an important matter to report!"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a look but said nothing...

Instead, Ning Fengzhi spoke in a calm tone, "Don't rush, speak slowly, what happened?"

The former gradually calmed down and said, "Sect Master, it's like this, according to the news from our disciples stationed in Martial Soul City, Xu Sheng has safely returned to Pope Hall!!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was slightly surprised and said, "Xu Sheng has already returned to Pope Hall? That means the assassination attempt by the other two great sects failed!"

At that time, he had advised the people from the other two great sects to abandon their plan to assassinate Xu Sheng, but he failed!

Looking at the situation now, it seems like their plans didn't work at all!

Gu Rong frowned and interjected, "That shouldn't be, the other two great sects intending to assassinate Xu Sheng would at least dispatch two or three Hyper Douluos. How could they possibly fail!"

Chen Xin also nodded in agreement, "Mmm, I also feel something isn't quite right, there might be more to this than meets the eye!"

Facing the attack of two or three Hyper Douluos, even if Xu Sheng had Gui Mei personally protecting him, he wouldn't be able to survive!

The expression on Ning Fengzhi's face also became serious as he speculated, "Could it be... that the other sects didn't carry out the assassination at all?"

That is to say, they might have listened to his advice...

Chen Xin and the other fell silent, unable to provide an answer...

At that moment, the disciple swallowed hard and mustered the courage to interrupt, "Um... Sect Master, I mean no offense, but I haven't finished speaking!"

Ning Fengzhi snapped back to reality and nodded, "I understand, continue!"

Only then did the former continue, "Although Xu Sheng safely returned to Pope Hall, he was almost attacked daily by unknown Soul Masters, all attempts ending in failure!"

"It's unknown whether it's because of this reason, Pope Bibi Dong ordered the entire Martial Soul City to be locked down, not allowing anyone to enter or leave!"

Ning Fengzhi stroked his chin, thoughtfully saying, "Didn't expect such a thing to happen?"

The answer was self-evident!

The other two great sects that had planned an ambush might have hit nothing but air!

And upon hearing of Xu Sheng's return to Martial Soul City, they dispatched disciples to infiltrate the Pope Hall in an attempt to assassinate him, but they all failed!

Gu Rong covered his forehead and muttered to himself, "I just thought that the people from the other two great sects had given up, only to find that not only has Xu Sheng returned to Pope Hall, they still refused to give up!"

Chen Xin held another view, "I guess they never expected these disciples to succeed in assassinating Xu Sheng, it's more about intimidation, after all, he is a Titled Douluo!"

Ordinary Soul Masters trying to assassinate Xu Sheng, even without protection, wouldn't likely stand a chance against him!

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

The disciple shook his head, "Back to the Sect Master, no more!"

Ning Fengzhi gestured slightly, "If there's nothing else, you may leave. This information is very important to us, well done!"

The former's face lit up, "Yes, Sect Master!"

Having said that, he left the hall...

Only then did Ning Fengzhi look towards Gu Rong and Chen Xin, "Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, you must have heard everything just now?"

Gu Rong coldly said, "Hmm, heard it clearly, these two great sects' people seem to have gone mad!"

Chen Xin was even more ruthless, "Since they didn't assassinate him on the way, they should have stopped, yet they sent people to chase him up to the Pope Hall, I think they really believe the upper three families can compete with Martial Soul Hall!"

"If it were only Pope Bibi Dong and her two confidants, there wouldn't be much of a problem!"

"But let's not forget, the real trouble is that guest elder hall that has always stayed in the shadows, yet holds absolute power!"

"Those guest elders inside are the truly fearsome ones!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement, "Hmm, the other two great sects doing this is tantamount to breaking face with Martial Soul Hall!"

"Assassinating Xu Sheng secretly and taking action openly, those are two different things!"

"That means, our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect has been dragged into this by the other two great sects!"

Among the upper three families, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect had the most substantial funds, but the strength of its sect disciples was relatively weak, almost only playing a supportive role!

Once the Soul Masters from Martial Soul Hall attacked, resisting was basically impossible!

Chen Xin took a deep breath, "Then what should we do, Feng Zhi? If we really go to war with Martial Soul Hall, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect might become the first target!"

"Although Gu Rong and my strength are strong, it's simply impossible to protect so many disciples in battle!"

Gu Rong naturally thought the same, "Yes, so many disciples of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, we can't let them suffer unprovoked disasters because of issues caused by the other two great sects!"

Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "Then... should I personally make a trip to Martial Soul City to resolve this crisis...?"

Since the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect hadn't meddled in the matter regarding Xu Sheng, Martial Soul Hall should have no reason to start a war with them!

As soon as these words fell, they were immediately stopped by both Gu Rong and Chen Xin...

"No way!"

"Feng Zhi, this idea of yours is too dangerous, Martial Soul Hall surely thinks that the assassination of Xu Sheng was a joint effort by the upper three sects, going now to Martial Soul City would be like seeking your own death!"

"Exactly, even if you tell the truth, it's unlikely that Bibi Dong would easily believe it, and she might even imprison you temporarily in Martial Soul City!"

They absolutely did not allow him to go to Martial Soul City, if anything happened to him, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect would be finished!

Seeing such intense reactions, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I... I was just making a suggestion, Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, don't get worked up!"

He knew his identity was special, going to Martial Soul City, Bibi Dong wouldn't likely treat him well...

After pausing for a moment, he again said, "Then how about, first send someone to negotiate with Martial Soul Hall?"

Gu Rong and Chen Xin looked at each other and then expressed their approval...

This proposal was much better than the previous one!

"I have no objections to that, but it definitely can't be an ordinary disciple of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"

"Secondly, it can't be you, Feng Zhi!"

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and gave a sensible reply...

"Then how about...sending an elder of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, what do you think?"

As it appeared, that was the most appropriate solution!

As for him, he feared he'd have to personally visit the other two great sects to compel them to immediately cease the assassination attempts on Xu Sheng, to avoid triggering a major war!!

This suggestion was also unanimously agreed upon by Chen Xin and the others!!
