Looking at the Hao Tian Sect Elders before him, Ning Fengzhi spoke with a stern face, "First, I propose that Hao Tian Sect cancels the assassination of Martial Soul Hall's Saint Heir, Xu Sheng!"

As soon as these words came out, their faces turned unsightly and they immediately began to refute...

"Sect Master Ning, what do you mean by this? You actually want us to give up the plan to assassinate Xu Sheng!"

"That's right, Xu Sheng's talent is incredibly monstrous; it will have a tremendous impact on the structure of the upper three families, which is something you, Sect Master Ning, have said yourself!!"

"Since the deed has already been done, we must be thorough. If Xu Sheng were to grow up, it wouldn't be so simple to eliminate him anymore. Sect Master Ning, please don't show the mercy of a woman!"

"Sect Master Ning, it has only been a few days, and your attitude has changed so drastically. Could it be that you've colluded with Martial Soul Hall??"

Xue Qinghe, who had always remained silent, also rarely showed a look of astonishment...

"The people of the upper three families are actually assassinating Xu Sheng?"

He himself did not even know about this!

Could it be that woman hid the matter from him??

In that case, he would probably have to express his stance later on, doing his best to persuade Hao Tian Sect to abandon their plan...

Ning Fengzhi pursed his lips but didn't show anger; instead, he patiently explained, "Elders, there is no need to provoke me with this matter. Last time I came here, I indeed said that Xu Sheng's talent was monstrous and that it would affect the structure of the upper three families."

"But at the same time, I didn't say that he was definitely our enemy. Moreover, when it comes to the assassination of Xu Sheng by Hao Tian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, my Seven Treasures Glaze Sect has never been involved from beginning to end!!"

Upon these words, the Hao Tian Sect Elders all swallowed...

Indeed, Sect Master Ning had never said anything about wanting Xu Sheng dead...

Even when Hao Tian Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect joined forces, he had tried to persuade them...

Yu Yuanzhen, who couldn't bear it, felt offended...

He couldn't help but cough behind his hand, "Ahem... Sect Master Ning, your words are somewhat incorrect. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect has already given up on the assassination of Xu Sheng."

Ning Fengzhi slightly smiled, "Right, I nearly forgot that point. I apologize to Sect Master Yu for my previous words!"

This statement caused even greater shock among the Hao Tian Sect Elders...

Yu Yuanzhen, who had been adamantly in favor of killing Xu Sheng, had actually changed his stance!!

Didn't that mean that now only Hao Tian Sect was still planning to take action against Xu Sheng??

Ning Fengzhi naturally noticed the change in their emotions, "Elders, you should have all heard that Sect Master Yu has already given up on taking action against Xu Sheng."

"That means, both my Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect will not intervene in later matters. Is Hao Tian Sect certain that it wants to persist rashly?"

The leading Hao Tian Sect Elder clenched his fists, grinding his teeth as he said, "Sect Master Ning, are you forcing our Hao Tian Sect into a corner?"

In a flash, a terrifying oppressive aura burst from his entire body...

Gu Rong, seeing this, did not show the slightest weakness; he too emitted a frightening presence, forming a standoff...

Ning Fengzhi remained unflinching as he said, "I have never forced anyone. I merely gave my advice with the relationship of the three sects in mind."

The talk had reached this point; if they still intended to go on with the assassination of Xu Sheng, he would not stop them!

However, the consequences of such an action might prove too much for Hao Tian Sect to bear!

Eventually, this leading Hao Tian Sect Elder sighed and reined in his aura...

"We cannot make a decision about this matter by ourselves; we need to wait for the Sect Master to return and decide!!"

What exactly had happened to cause such a great change in the attitudes of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect!

Could it be that they have all been bought by Martial Soul Hall??

Such a thought is too frightening to entertain!!

Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen exchanged glances, clearly aware that without Tang Xiao present, these Hao Tian Sect Elders would be unable to make a decision...

Immediately afterwards, the former deftly changed the subject, "In that case, let's set this matter aside for now. We will discuss it again when Tang Sect Master returns!"

"Next, allow me to introduce everyone to His Highness, the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe!"

After finishing, he turned his attention to Xue Qinghe...

Xue Qinghe quickly reacted, replying with neither arrogance nor servility, "Elders, I have come here following my teacher, with no ulterior motives. Please excuse any presumption!"

In a blink, the gaze of every Hao Tian Sect Elder focused on his demeanor...

The Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire had actually come in person!

Not only that, but he had also heard their recent conversation. If the information leaked, wouldn't it affect the upper three families??

For a moment, no one knew how to react...

Seeming to see through their intentions, Ning Fengzhi confidently assured, "Elders, rest assured, Qing He will not divulge a single word of our previous discussion!"

"I can personally guarantee this!"

The Hao Tian Sect Elders, originally doubtful, changed their attitude the moment they heard this...

Although they did not trust Xue Qinghe, they had immense trust in Ning Fengzhi!

"Since Sect Master Ning has said so, naturally we believe that the Crown Prince would not do such a thing!"

"However, the Hao Tian Sect's remote location means we can't provide treatment comparable to the royal household. Please forgive us for any shortcomings, Your Highness!"

The Hao Tian Sect, unlike the royal household and the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, was situated in a more remote location, so all its facilities were relatively inferior!

It was bound to be uncomfortable for him!!

Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered, "It's fine, this is actually my first visit to the Hao Tian Sect. Honestly, it's quite majestic!"

It seems that the Hao Tian Sect isn't all that close to the Tian Dou Imperial Family!

Otherwise, they should have recognized my identity upon meeting me!

The Elder nodded, then turned to Ning Fengzhi, "So... Sect Master Ning, what brings you to our sect with His Highness?"

He didn't quite understand, the people from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect coming was one thing!

But why bring someone from the royal household!

Ning Fengzhi revealed a mysterious smile, "Actually... this also concerns Xu Sheng!"

This move made everyone even more perplexed, but they still waited patiently for an explanation...

Only then did Ning Fengzhi continue, "Actually, Xu Sheng and Qing He are very closely connected!"

This short statement caused everyone present to instinctively stand up...

"Sect Master Ning, you must be joking, right? Closely connected between the Martial Soul Hall Saint Heir and the Crown Prince? That doesn't seem likely."

"Yes, the feud between the royal household and Martial Soul Hall is enormous, how could such a situation arise!"

"Sect Master Ning, if you just want to persuade us to give up on our assassination plan for Xu Sheng, there is no need to concoct such a lie, and even bring His Highness here with you!!"
