Chapter 618 The Spirit Hall, We Can't Afford to Offend It
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, intending to subtly suggest that Tang San remain calm and not act impulsively, but Tang San interpreted it as the other party being unwilling to speak up for him.
This immediately caused Tang San's goodwill towards Ning Fengzhi to drop significantly, and his face visibly darkened.
After Salas finished speaking, he ignored Tang San.
Ye Qifeng glanced at Tang San, whose face was gloomy and depressed, and simply smiled. Then he cupped his hands in greeting to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who were flying in mid-air without touching the ground.
"Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo, now that the matter is settled, we will take our leave."
After saying that, Ye Qifeng turned and left the grove with Salas. The four Holy Emperor Warriors carrying Shi Nian immediately followed, while the other six Holy Emperor Warriors followed behind.
Watching Ye Qifeng and his group leave, Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but feel a little restless, but in the end, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and did not choose to make a move.
Seeing that Tang Hao had no intention of attacking Ye Qifeng and the others, Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, and She Long, the Serpent Spear Douluo, who were hiding in the woods on both sides, also quietly withdrew and left.
Apart from Ye Qifeng, no one knew that they had ever been here.
After leaving the grove and reuniting with the Holy Emperor Warriors and Templar Knights who had surrounded the area, Ye Qifeng and the others quickly returned to the official road, preparing to retrace their steps back to Tiandou City.
"Your Highness, there is something I do not understand."
At this moment, Salas came to Night Seven Wind and asked a question hesitantly, but stopped halfway through, as if he didn't know whether he should ask the question.
Ye Qifeng didn't mind Salas's confusing behavior of only saying half of what he meant and then not saying anything more. He smiled and glanced at him.
"What is unclear?"
Salas hesitated for a moment, then, after carefully considering his words, finally asked the question that had been troubling him since earlier:
"Your Highness, I don't quite understand why we rescued Shi Nian from Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo?"
"You should know that this man is the mastermind behind the secret killing of elite contestants in this Soul Master Elite Competition. We all witnessed it just now, and he himself has admitted it."
"This man deserves to die. Wouldn't it be better if he were stabbed to death by Sword Douluo? Why should we go through the trouble of saving him?"
In fact, Salas was not the only one with this question in mind; the ten Holy Emperor warriors responsible for escorting Shi Nian also had it.
Especially now, carrying the four Holy Emperor Warriors of that year.
Although their faces showed no expression, merely appearing to obey orders, the disdain and contempt in their eyes when they looked at Shi Nianshi were impossible to hide.
After hearing Salas's words, Ye Qifeng paused slightly, turned to look at the other's confused face, and smiled faintly:
"Bishop Salas, you're mistaken."
"I saved Shi Nian, not to save his life, but for something he had."
"For something?" Saraston was taken aback for a moment.
The ten Holy Emperor warriors who were following behind the two and holding Shi Nian captive were also stunned for a moment.
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly, and then, without hiding anything, told them his purpose truthfully in front of them:
"Because Shi Nian has a soul bone in his body, and I don't want this soul bone to fall into the hands of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or that thing called Tang San."
"What? A soul bone?"
Salas and the ten Holy Emperor Warriors were instantly dumbfounded, completely stunned.
Ye Qifeng smiled gently and said:
"The soul bone on Shi Nian's body is a ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone, called the Ten-Thousand-Year Illusionary Wisdom Skull."
Afterwards, Ye Qifeng gave Salas and the others a detailed account of the information about the head soul bone that Shi Nian possessed.
The Ten Thousand Year Illusionary Wisdom Skull is a gem-type head soul bone that is most suitable for support-type soul masters and illusion-type soul masters.
The additional soul skill is Illusionary Space, which can increase the mental power of allies by 20% and establish a mental network, allowing them to communicate with each other and not get lost in the illusion.
As for enemies, it will have a hallucinogenic effect, causing them to lose their sense of direction and weakening their mental strength through continuous hallucinations.
According to the original course of fate, this skull, which originally belonged to Shi Nian and was the brains of the Ten Thousand Year Illusionary Realm, fell into Tang San's hands after Shi Nian was killed by Tang San, and was eventually given to Ning Rongrong.
With the powerful support abilities of this soul bone, Ning Rongrong assisted the Shrek Seven Devils, killing countless people from the Spirit Hall.
Now that the Timeless Ones have fallen into Ye Qifeng's hands, this Ten-Thousand-Year Illusionary Skull of Wisdom can no longer be handed over to Ning Rongrong through Tang San.
As a result, the Shrek Seven Devils naturally lost a powerful ally.
After hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Salas and the ten Holy Emperor Warriors were completely stunned.
Especially the four Holy Emperor warriors who were holding Shi Nian's limbs, their gazes towards Shi Nian suddenly changed from disdain and contempt to intense eagerness. Even their grip on Shi Nian's limbs became more cautious, as if they were afraid that if they accidentally used too much force, he would die.
Seeing the stunned Salas and the others, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but find it amusing. Look at how surprised you are. It's just a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
"Remember, the matter of the soul bones I told you about must be kept secret for now. Do not divulge it to anyone, understand?"
Slowly shaking his head, Ye Qifeng composed himself slightly, then his expression turned serious. He gave Salas and the others a gag order, stating that it was not advisable to publicize the fact that Shi Nian possessed a soul bone for the time being.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Salas and the Holy Emperor's warriors, having regained their senses, immediately accepted the order.
Then, Ye Qifeng looked at Salas:
"Shi Nian dared to harm the elite students participating in the Soul Master Elite Competition. Our Spirit Hall must hold the people accountable for this. After we have investigated the truth of the matter, we will drag him out for public trial and then execute him."
"After the head is handed down, remember to retrieve that skull fragment."
Saraston immediately accepted the order:
"Yes, Your Highness!"
…………
In the grove.
After Ye Qifeng and the others left, Ning Fengzhi summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and threw a healing soul light and a support soul light at Tang San.
Tang San's body shuddered instantly, and his injuries were almost completely healed. His soul power also recovered to some extent, but the mental depletion could not be filled. At this moment, Tang San still appeared extremely weak.
"How are you feeling?"
Carried by Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi landed lightly and arrived in front of Tang San.
"Thank you, Uncle Ning. I feel much better."
After checking his internal condition, Tang San thanked him, but his voice sounded somewhat cold and stiff.
Sensing the distance in Tang San's words, Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment and couldn't help but give Tang San a deep look.
Sword Douluo beside him narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little displeased. He had once thought highly of Tang San, but at this moment, his heart couldn't help but waver.
"Hey mistress, are you upset because I didn't speak up for you earlier?"
Ning Fengzhi is a shrewd person; if he couldn't see why Tang San was behaving this way...
"Uncle Ning, you've misunderstood. You and Senior Sword Douluo saved my life. I'm so grateful to you, how could I possibly be dissatisfied with you?"
Tang San's eyes flickered slightly, but of course he couldn't admit that he had any dissatisfaction with Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi neither agreed nor disagreed with Tang San's words. Instead, he shook his head like an elder and earnestly instructed him:
"It's not that I don't want to help you, mistress, it's just that it's unnecessary."
"You should know that Shi Nian is just a nobody, while the Spirit Hall is a behemoth. At least for now, neither you, nor I, nor even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can afford to offend the Spirit Hall."
Do you understand what I mean?
"Isn't it just cowardice in the end?" Tang San frowned slightly, somewhat unconvinced, but outwardly he still feigned sudden realization.
"Been taught a lesson."
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, stepped forward, and patted Tang San on the shoulder, his words seemingly full of encouragement and expectation:
"Cultivate diligently. When you have achieved mastery, it won't be too late to seek revenge against the Spirit Hall."
"At that time, I might need your help again, Uncle Ning."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words of high regard made Tang San feel a surge of relief, and his dissatisfaction lessened slightly.
"Uncle Ning, don't worry, I will cultivate diligently."
Ning Fengzhi smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly seemed to remember something and continued:
"Oh, right, you don't need to worry about that year. He can't go on living. His hunting of the elite Soul Master competition participants has been exposed, and the entire Soul Master world will not tolerate him."
"I dare say he's dead."
"At that time, Shi Nian will inevitably be tried and executed in public."
"If you feel unhappy, you are welcome to go to the scene on the day of the trial and see him off with your own eyes."
Tang San's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
Not being able to kill Shi Nian with his own hands was a huge regret for him. However, being able to witness Shi Nian's execution would be a consolation and alleviate the hatred in his heart.
Just then, Sword Douluo seemed to sense something. With a slight movement of his lips, a soul power transmission had already passed through the air and entered Ning Fengzhi's ears.
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and pointed to the grove of trees facing the direction of Tiandou City:
"Alright, that's enough. Little San, your teammates are here to see you."
Tang San looked slightly surprised and turned his head to look in the direction Ning Fengzhi pointed.
Suddenly, a delicate pink figure appeared on the side of the grove closest to the official road, and Tang San's eyes widened instantly:
"Little...Little Dance?"
Yes, Tang San wasn't mistaken. That delicate pink figure was none other than Xiao Wu, who had rushed over after being reminded by Tang Hao.
"The mistress—"
The moment Xiao Wu saw Tang San, she immediately pounced over like lightning.
Xiao Wu's momentum was extremely fast. If he were in a normal state, Tang San would naturally be able to catch her. However, Tang San was in a weak state of mental exhaustion at this moment, and even raising his hand was a little difficult. How could he catch her?
The fragrant, delicate body was in his arms, but before Tang San could even savor its softness and comfort, he was suddenly struck by a dizzying sensation.
However, Xiao Wu's momentum was too strong to stop in time. When she crashed into Tang San's arms, she and Tang San fell to the ground at the same time, rolling several times on the grassy ground.
When the rolling finally stopped, the two people had already rolled several meters away.
Tang San was a little dizzy from being turned around, but when he saw Xiao Wu's pretty face clearly, he suddenly froze.
In a daze, he seemed to see again the scenes he had witnessed in the illusion of that year—the fair-skinned and beautiful Xiao Wu, the seductive music that stirred the imagination, and all sorts of incredible poses.
However, this time the protagonist is not the lewd and strange uncle Bu Le, but Tang San himself.
Instinctively, Tang San pulled Xiao Wu, who had fallen on top of him, into his arms tightly.
"What's wrong, mistress?"
Xiao Wu finally managed to get up from Tang San's arms and straddled him in a duck-sitting position. For some reason, she felt that Tang San was looking at her strangely.
"Ah, no, nothing," Tang San's eyes darted around, not daring to look Xiao Wu in the eye, clearly feeling guilty. "I just suddenly thought, Xiao Wu, you look especially beautiful today."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with some suspicion.
The scenes he saw in the illusion of that year kept replaying in his mind, and Tang San's expression became strange.
However, he imagined himself as the other protagonist.
Suddenly, with a strength he didn't know he had, he pulled Xiao Wu into his arms again, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body and cherish her.
Tang San's sudden action startled Xiao Wu, who instinctively tried to struggle. However, after feeling the heat emanating from Tang San, her heart raced, so she gave up struggling and hugged him instead.
The two of them lay on the ground, embracing each other as if no one else was around.
When Xiao Wu thought Tang San was about to do something to her, she discovered that Tang San had already lost consciousness and fallen into a coma.
"Hey, what's wrong? Wake up!"
Xiao Wu panicked and frantically tried to wake him up.
That is indeed the case.
Tang San was already mentally exhausted from being trapped in the illusion of the past, and his body was weak. It would be strange if he didn't faint after being stimulated by Xiao Wu like this.
At this moment, Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai, and other members of Shrek Academy arrived here.
Yu Xiaogang, whose cultivation level was the lowest, was the last to arrive. He saw Tang San with a strange, blissful smile on his face, but Tang San had fainted. Exhausted from running all the way, Yu Xiaogang didn't even have time to catch his breath before rushing forward.
"What's wrong with being a mistress?"
Subsequently, the Shrek Seven Devils learned the whole story from Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
