Chapter 264: The Tiandou Empire Is Blind and Has No Vision, so It’s Better Not to Wait!
Such a big thing happened in Gengxin City, and the news had already spread across the entire continent in a short period of time.
Xue Qinghe was able to recognize Lou Gao at a glance because of the portraits of the missing Lou Gao and several others. From the moment he got the news that the Wuhun Branch Hall was destroyed, he felt that this matter was inseparable from the previous disappearances in the Tiandou Empire.
He had already called several Titled Douluo from the Wuhun Hall to ambush in various villages, but the murderer seemed to have anticipated it in advance and disappeared directly. If he had not only written a letter to his grandfather, he would have thought there was an insider.
After waiting for more than a year without any results, just when he was about to give up, news came from Gengxin City. Now he saw the missing Lou Gao with his own eyes, and the other party's words undoubtedly once again confirmed his guess.
He had investigated Tang Yuehua before, and found out that the address of the Haotian Sect was not too far away from Tiandou City. Thinking of the disappearances that occurred in the towns radiating from the Haotian Sect, Xue Qinghe was sure that the murderer was Tang San mentioned by Lou Gao.
After investigating the address, he once wrote a letter back to the Spirit Hall, asking his grandfather to send a few Title Douluo to raze the sect where the murderer of his father was located to the ground, but the other party always refused on the grounds of an agreement.
Now that the other party has slaughtered a branch of his Spirit Hall and has been caught, he will raze the Haotian Sect to the ground no matter what.
Thinking of this, his face remained calm, and an angry expression appeared when he looked at Lou Gao, and he nodded in agreement.
"I didn't expect the Haotian Sect to act so viciously, Senior Lou Gao, if there is anything I can help you with, I will do my best."
"Thank you, Your Highness, if you need me, I will definitely speak up."
Lou Gao looked grateful, but still did not speak out his request. It was not that he did not trust Ning Fengzhi's disciple, but that they were not clear about Emperor Xue Ye's attitude towards this matter. As the prince, the other party would probably cause dissatisfaction from Emperor Xue Ye if he acted rashly at this time.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Xue Qinghe naturally knew what the other party was thinking and nodded.
"I still have some things to deal with, teacher, Master Lou Gao, I'll take my leave first."
After parting with the other party, Ning Fengzhi led the three people into the gate of the largest palace in the palace without any obstacles. During the process, the two Titled Douluo were taken to the reception room, leaving Ning Fengzhi and Lou Gao to see Emperor Xue Ye.
"Master Ning, we are here, His Majesty is inside."
The guard pushed open the door and bowed sideways.
"Thank you."
Ning Fengzhi said casually, and then walked in with Lou Gao.
As soon as they entered the door, the two saw Emperor Xue Ye sitting at the table reviewing documents.
"See your majesty."
The other party looked up when he heard the movement, first looking at the somewhat unfamiliar Lou Gao, and soon fell on Ning Fengzhi, with a smile on his face, and spoke.
"Please take a seat, both of you. Master Ning is here to see me so late. It seems that you have something important to tell me. I am really sorry. I am very busy recently and can only meet you here."
"Your Majesty is very busy. It is an honor to meet me so soon. The thing is, has your Majesty heard about what happened in Gengxin City of Xingluo Empire?"
"Of course, the Wuhun Branch Hall was destroyed. This has never happened on the continent."
Xue Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and then suddenly thought of something, looking at Lou Gao with surprise.
"Could this be..."
No wonder I always felt that I had seen this person somewhere when I saw him just now. Wasn't it in the previous portrait?
A trace of bitterness appeared on Lou Gao's face. It was not a good thing to be passed through this way.
"Your Majesty, I am Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmith Association."
Seeing that the other party admitted it, Xue Ye nodded repeatedly, and a trace of curiosity appeared on his face.
"Master Lou Gao, can you tell me what happened?"
He was quite concerned about this matter. After all, it happened in the territory of Xingluo Empire. If something went wrong, Xingluo Empire and Wuhun Hall would fight. He would wake up laughing in his dreams.
"We came here to inform His Majesty about this matter."
After saying that, Lou Gao began to tell what happened. During this process, although Emperor Xue Ye's face did not change at all, Ning Fengzhi still caught a hint of gloom in his eyes.
He pursed his lips, and guessed the attitude of the Tiandou Emperor towards Haotian Sect in his heart, and couldn't help but sighed secretly.
".I have heard the whole story."
There was no emotion in Xue Ye's voice. His fingers on the table tapped unconsciously, but he was still a little hesitant in his heart.
He knew that this matter was very likely true. Ning Fengzhi brought Lou Gao here for the obvious purpose of making him break off the relationship with Haotian Sect.
Regardless of the other party's purpose, he didn't need to think about which one to choose between a blacksmith and the first sect on the continent that could provide hidden weapons for the empire. Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect was added to the blacksmith's side, it would only make the scales tend to balance.
What's more, Tang San, who killed people, was the one who made hidden weapons for him. If something happened to the other party, what would happen to his hidden weapons?
Right and wrong are always so ridiculous in front of interests.
He finally got in touch with the Haotian Sect, and he would not give up no matter what.
The only problem is that if this matter is exposed, he will continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with the Haotian Sect and may face accusations from the Spirit Hall and Xingluo.
How to reduce the impact of this situation is something worth thinking about.
At this moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of fingers hitting the table. Ning Fengzhi and Lou Gao, who were sitting there, did not speak, but quietly waited for Emperor Xue Ye to give his answer.
"And the situation of this matter is extremely complicated. I'm sorry that I can't just listen to the one-sided words of Master Lou Gao."
"As an emperor, I must deal with this matter impartially. If I can't even guarantee fairness and justice, how will the people of the world view me?"
"It just so happens that I am also sending people to pay attention to this matter. Why not wait until the investigation results are found out? If the situation is true, "
"I will help Master Lou Gao negotiate with the Haotian Sect and ask them to apologize for this matter. How about it?"
Every time Xue Ye said a word, Ning Fengzhi's face would become gloomier, until the last word appeared, and you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Compared to Ning Fengzhi's face, which was just a little ugly, Lou Gao's eyes turned red.
If the situation is true, let the Haotian Sect apologize?
All four of his apprentices died, and in exchange, they only got an apology?
And all this has to wait for your people to find out the results of the investigation!
Even the official personnel of the Spirit Hall and the Xingluo Empire have not found any clues. What can you find out by sending a person from the Tiandou Empire to the blacksmith of Xingluo?
This is completely an excuse to delay time for negotiations with the Haotian Sect. If the other party agrees to apologize, they will say that the investigation has come out. If they don't agree, they will keep dragging it out.
Seeing that the two were silent, Emperor Xue Ye looked at Lou Gao and added.
"Please rest assured, Master Lou Gao, I will let the Haotian Sect give you satisfactory compensation, and I will also order you to be compensated accordingly."
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and bowed to Emperor Xue Ye.
"I came here only to inform His Majesty of this matter. Since His Majesty has made a decision, we will take our leave. As for compensation, there is no need."
Hearing the other party's cold tone, Emperor Xue Ye was stunned, and a trace of regret inexplicably emerged in his heart. Before he could speak, Ning Fengzhi continued.
"From now on, my Seven Treasures Glazed Sect officially withdraws from the Heaven Dou Empire. Xue Ye, I hope you will not regret your choice."
Emperor Xue Ye trembled, looking at the determination in the other's eyes, but he could not speak. Before he became the emperor, he had a very good relationship with Ning Fengzhi at that time.
At that time, the other party just called him by his name. Later, when he became the emperor, Ning Fengzhi began to call him Your Majesty, but even if the name changed, the relationship between the two of them was still very good.
Now the name has changed back, but the relationship between the two has completely broken.
After saying that, he saw Ning Fengzhi and Lou Gao walk out of the room without looking back.
As the door gradually closed, the two of them completely embarked on two different paths at this moment.
"Master Ning"
Lou Gao looked guilty and didn't know what to say for a while. Of course, he heard that the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was the only sect among the three sects that openly supported the empire. Now it has broken with the Heaven Dou Empire for this matter. Even if he was moved in his heart, from the perspective of the other party, he felt that this matter was really a bit impulsive.
"Don't mind, Master Lou Gao. This is my own choice."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand. After saying that in the room, he felt much more relaxed.
Xue Ye's estrangement from him in the past few years made him want to leave long before. Now he has just made up his mind. After such a thing, the other party still stubbornly chose the Haotian Sect. He doesn't want to cause trouble for the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect because of his relationship with the Tiandou Royal Family.
First, he is not like the other party, who is eager for hidden weapons. Second, from this posture, Emperor Xue Ye obviously wants the Tiandou Royal Family and the Haotian Sect to wear pants. If he doesn't withdraw at this time, who knows what Huo Yuhao will think?
Soon, they saw the two Titled Douluo in the reception room.
"We haven't even finished a cup of tea, and you're done?"
Looking at Ning Fengzhi's face, the two also guessed the result and asked softly.
"Leaving?"
"Yes, all the shops in the city are sold, the business is cancelled, and we are going to Chuanling City. By the way, send someone to investigate the movements of the Haotian Sect. If Tang San appears, report immediately."
Although he didn't think Tang San would run around just after something like this happened, there is always a chance. They can't stay in Tiandou City for long. After the business is over, a large number of people can be used to find Tang San. It would be best if they can catch him before they leave.
After parting with Ning Fengzhi and others, Xue Qinghe returned to his palace and came to the dining table. The servants had already prepared dinner for him.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, he spoke softly.
"I have something to do tonight, you all go out."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Until all the servants left and the room was empty, Xue Qinghe spoke slowly.
"Seventh Priest."
As soon as the voice fell, a strong wind blew, and a slightly tall figure appeared in the room. It was the Seventh Priest of Douluo Palace who had shown his face in the Soul Master Competition before.
At this moment, he bowed slightly to Xue Qinghe who was eating at the table, with a respectful look.
"Excuse me, young master, what instructions do you have for me?"
A year ago, Xue Qinghe wrote back, saying that he needed to investigate the murderer of the missing case. Qian Daoliu directly asked this level 96 Titled Douluo to lead several elders of the Elder Hall to Tiandou City.
Naturally, the strongest Demon-Conquering Douluo followed Xue Qinghe secretly to protect his safety.
The remaining elders followed the order and dispersed to several towns to lie in wait, waiting for the murderer to commit another crime.
Xue Qinghe nodded and spoke directly without hesitation.
"Gather several elders back and prepare to attack Haotian Sect."
"!?"
Demon-Conquering Douluo looked stunned, almost thinking that he had heard wrongly. He was not afraid of the Haotian Sect.
After Tang Hao's incident happened, Tang Hao's father, the previous sect leader, was angered to death. It can be said that the strength of Haotian Sect has plummeted. There is no one above level ninety-five, and anyone who comes to worship him can kill them all.
It's a pity that the great minister stopped them because of his agreement with Tang Chen.
At that time, Tang Chen, the leader of the Haotian Sect, had a duel with the great worshiper. Tang Chen was slightly better. In the end, the two made an agreement that Wuhun Palace was forbidden to approach the Haotian Sect until the worshiper could not defeat Tang Chen.
And this agreement, even after Tang Chen disappeared for so many years, Qian Daoliu never allowed anyone to violate it.
Otherwise, with his violent temper, he would have rushed to the Haotian Sect and killed them randomly.
He looked at the calm-looking man, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded him loudly.
"Young Master, would you like to ask for permission to make a big offering..."
Xue Qinghe's hand paused.
"No need, the other party has already taken action against our martial arts branch and broke the agreement. Do we still want to abide by it like a fool?"
Demon-Conquering Douluo's pupils shrank, he had also heard about the martial soul branching into different halls.
"Haotian Sect did it?"
"He was the son of Tang Hao who escaped from the Soul Master Competition."
"The four apprentices in Lou Gao were all killed by each other. After he escaped, he took the initiative to find my teacher for help. I just bumped into him."
"Okay, okay!"
A ferocious look suddenly appeared on Demon-Conquering Douluo's face, and his tone was solemn.
"Last time, the big sacrifice spared the other party's life and asked Tang Xiao to take him back and take good care of him. This time he dared to attack my Wuhun Palace. It seems that he hasn't learned his lesson yet!"
The other party wants to lead the Haotian Sect to seek death. This time, even if they make a big sacrifice, they won't say anything.
As for
"Well, we'll set off as soon as everyone arrives."
"yes!"
Demon-Conquering Douluo flashed, and the restaurant suddenly fell into silence again.
While eating the delicacies on the table, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but recall the scene of eating with the white-haired boy, and the delicious food in his mouth tasted like nothing.
Although he didn't take a few bites when he ate with the other party, he couldn't resist how delicious it was!
