Chapter 9: Spirit Hall, You've Chosen the Path of Death!

Chapter 9: Spirit Hall, You've Chosen the Path of Death!

If these two major factions truly unite, regardless of which side, facing the Spirit Hall alone would be a huge disaster!

Just one of the Eighth Worships has already made Chen Xin so embarrassed, and there are seven others not weaker than the Eighth Worship. It's conceivable that this is not something our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can handle.

Even if the top three sects unite, they would only have the strength to face one enemy.

The top three sects, to put it nicely, are called the top three sects, the most powerful sects on the continent. To put it bluntly, they are just three relatively powerful sects, far inferior to the transcendent strength of the Spirit Hall!

And at this moment, Tang San walked over and bowed to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, saying, "Thank you, Lord Ning, and Senior Sword Douluo, for saving me. Without you, Tang San would be dead by now! Lord Ning and Senior Sword Douluo's great kindness to Tang San will never be forgotten!"

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin both smiled. Ning Fengzhi particularly admired Tang San's character, repaying kindness and knowing who treats him well.

"It's nothing, just a small effort. There's no need to worry about it. You are not only a friend of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect but also owe a great debt to Ning Rongrong. If you are in danger, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not stand idly by," Ning Fengzhi smiled.

Tang San bowed again, saying, "Lord Ning, there's something Tang San would like to ask, and I hope Lord Ning will agree!"

Both Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin became curious. Ning Fengzhi asked, "Please, speak. As long as it's something our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can do, it's alright."

Tang San smiled, "Lord Ning, it's not a big deal. Tang San just wants to know who wants to kill me, why they want to ambush us, and the other contestants."

At these words, Ning Fengzhi was momentarily stunned, and even Chen Xin, who was drinking water nearby, was taken aback. They hadn't expected Tang San to ask this question. Naturally, once Tang San's strength reached a certain level, he would naturally understand, and it wouldn't be a secret anymore.

Tang San looked at Ning Fengzhi somewhat hesitantly and asked, "Lord Ning, is there something you find hard to say? If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand with a smile, "There's nothing difficult to say. I just didn't expect you to ask about this. It's something you would naturally understand once your strength reaches a certain level, and it's no longer a secret."

Tang San listened attentively. After all, the other party was after his life, and they already had a plan to kill him. If his strength grew in the future, he would have to avenge this grudge, otherwise, he wouldn't be human!

"Do you want to know who is ambushing you, or who wants to kill you?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

Tang San looked at Ning Fengzhi in confusion, "Lord Ning, what's the difference?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled, "There's no difference. Since you want to know, I'll tell you. First, those ambushing you are acting on orders from the Spirit Hall and the Hall of Worship. The two Titled Douluos are Bibi Dong's henchmen, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Ghost Douluo. Both of them are at the ninety-fifth level, and they possess extremely powerful Martial Souls fusion skills." Here, Ning Fengzhi paused and looked at Tang San.

Tang San was greatly shocked after hearing this. It turned out to be the work of the Spirit Hall. How could he have imagined that the Spirit Hall would act at this time? Weren't they afraid of becoming the target of the entire continent?

"Lord Ning, does the Spirit Hall not fear becoming the target of the entire continent by doing this? And are they not afraid of retaliation from other factions?" Tang San looked at Ning Fengzhi, his eyes filled with doubt.

Ning Fengzhi smiled, finding this the most ridiculous joke he had ever heard. Who would dare to retaliate against the Spirit Hall? Except for your father, who has nothing to lose, and besides, your identity should be exposed by now.

Looking at Ning Fengzhi's wry smile, Tang San asked, "What's wrong, Lord Ning?"

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, saying, "Is the Spirit Hall afraid of retaliation? As the most transcendent power on the continent, the Spirit Hall isn't afraid. And the notion that the Spirit Hall's actions would make it a target of everyone is even more improbable. How many such deeds has the Spirit Hall committed? Are the actions of other powers clean? I can't even guarantee whether our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has done what the Spirit Hall has done. It's tacitly accepted but not openly discussed!"

As long as they don't tear their faces apart, no matter how fierce the competition is behind the scenes, they'll maintain a smiling face in public!

After hearing this, Tang San gained some understanding. The Spirit Hall was definitely not a benevolent force but an evil one. Countless lives had been lost at the hands of the Spirit Hall. Moreover, he harbored deep hatred towards the Spirit Hall. He swore that he would destroy the Spirit Hall and prevent it from further poisoning the continent!

At this point, Tang San asked, "Lord Ning, there's another matter. Which faction is the one wanting to kill me?"

This was what he was particularly concerned about. He hadn't offended anyone, so who had the audacity to dispatch a Titled Douluo even more powerful than Senior Sword Douluo to kill him, an obscure individual?

Ning Fengzhi replied, "That's what I wanted to tell you. What you think of as the Spirit Hall is just the Spirit Hall. But what you don't know is that the Spirit Hall is divided into three halls: the Douluo Hall, where dead Titled Douluos can be buried, the Pope Hall, as I mentioned earlier, and the third hall is the one wanting to kill you, the Hall of Worship!"

Tang San quickly grasped the most crucial part from Ning Fengzhi's words and asked, "Lord Ning, are you saying that this ambush wasn't ordered by one person but by two?"

"You can think of it that way. Although on the surface, there's just the Spirit Hall, in reality, it has two administrative units, namely the Pope Hall led by Bibi Dong and the other is the Hall of Worship. These two halls don't get along. If they were to unite, the entire continent would be turned upside down."

Ning Fengzhi's words weren't exaggerations but facts. If it weren't for the discord between the two halls, the continent would likely be even more chaotic now. The Spirit Hall would definitely become a force stronger than the two great empires combined.

Tang San understood. The ones ambushing them were acting on orders from the Pope Hall of the Spirit Hall, under the command of Pope Bibi Dong. And the ones wanting to kill him were from the Hall of Worship of the Spirit Hall. Just thinking about it made Tang San shudder.

"But, I don't understand something. Members of the Hall of Worship have hardly been seen on the continent for decades. Why would they want to kill you, Tang San? What have you done in the past?" This was the most puzzling aspect for Ning Fengzhi.

Despite being a Soul Master with a powerful innate twin martial soul, as well as being Tang Hao's son, the Hall of Worship had not made any moves against Tang San before. So why did they want to kill Tang San now?

No matter how he thought about it, Ning Fengzhi couldn't figure it out. With Tang San's talent, at most, he could reach the level of a ninety-ninth level limit Douluo. Even so, he wouldn't be able to shake the Spirit Hall's position. Yet, the Hall of Worship seemed to feel threatened by him.

If Ji Wudao were here, he might say that indeed, a limit Douluo couldn't shake the Spirit Hall's position, but a god could! And even more so, a powerful God-King with dual divine positions!
