Chapter 190 Negotiation
Sword Douluo's actions were naturally seen by everyone present.
Seeing Sword Douluo retreat two steps under Qin Mu's attack, the expressions on most people's faces became quite interesting, their gazes towards Qin Mu filled with complexity and fear.
A young man in his early twenties was able to force the Sword Douluo, who was known for his offensive power, to retreat. Such a terrifying achievement would shock anyone.
Ling Yuan appeared at the right moment beside Qin Mu, her gaze fixed on the Sword Douluo whose face was slightly pale, her soul power already circulating within her body.
If Sword Douluo dares to disregard his status and attack Qin Mu with all his might, she will definitely stand in front of him immediately.
Although Qin Mu's combat power is now comparable to that of ordinary titled Douluo, and even top experts like Sword Douluo would have to temporarily avoid his sharp edge if he went all out.
But the opponent, after all, has two high-ranking titled Douluo, plus Ning Fengzhi's assistance.
If it really comes down to a fight, they will definitely be at a disadvantage.
However, Qin Mu did not have such worries.
He knew that as long as the higher-ups of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect weren't all idiots, the two sides couldn't really go to war.
After all, if it really escalates into a war between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the price would definitely be something Ning Fengzhi would not be willing to bear.
After a slightly awkward moment, Qin Mu's hearty laughter rang out.
"That was exhilarating! As expected of the Sword Douluo, his mastery of the unity of man and sword is truly remarkable!"
Qin Mu put away the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and then bowed to Sword Douluo as a junior.
Seeing this, Sword Douluo smiled wryly and put away his martial soul.
"Young friend Qin Mu is truly one of a kind among the younger generation I have ever seen! In such a short time, he has grasped the essence of my unity of man and sword. He is truly gifted!"
"Sword Douluo, you flatter me. My advantage over you was merely by chance. If you were to go all out, I'm afraid I wouldn't last ten rounds."
Hearing Qin Mu's words, Sword Douluo gave him a deep look.
Although his soul power level was superior, he had a vague feeling that he would not be a match for this young man.
This idea seemed absurd to Sword Douluo, yet he didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
The conflicted feelings prevented Sword Douluo from saying anything more.
"Haha, young friend Qin Mu, I was very rude just now. Uncle Jian saw that you had an extraordinary aura, so he took action to test you. I hope you won't take offense."
Ning Fengzhi walked over and quickly tried to smooth things over.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan snorted coldly, and was about to reprimand Ning Fengzhi without giving him any face, but was stopped by Qin Mu who was standing to the side.
"It's alright."
When Qin Mu saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's attitude, his first reaction was indeed some anger.
It's understandable that Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi were afraid that Ning Rongrong would be harmed, which is why they went to great lengths to snatch her away.
Even if it turns out to be a misunderstanding, the cost of an apology is far better than Ning Rongrong getting into trouble.
Secondly, they also wanted to give Qin Mu and his companion a taste of their own medicine.
After all, not just anyone can say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is about to encounter trouble or even be destroyed.
Ultimately, Qin Mu's purpose in coming here was to help their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Such an approach is certainly not the way to treat guests.
Fortunately, Sword Douluo's mastery of the unity of man and sword gave Qin Mu some new insights into the use of the Clear Sky Hammer.
The unity of man and hammer further enhanced Qin Mu's strength. However, reaching a state of complete mastery would require a long period of practice.
Although Qin Mu had forced Sword Douluo back two steps with his attack, the main reason was that Sword Douluo's own condition was disrupted, and he was unwilling to use his soul skills against a junior like Qin Mu, which put him at a disadvantage.
If Qin Mu can get Sword Douluo to fully utilize the unity of man and sword, then it will definitely not be an easy task for Qin Mu to gain an advantage over Sword Douluo.
"It is indeed my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that was wrong in this matter. I would like to invite the two of you to the sect for a chat so that I, Ning, can express my apologies!"
Seeing Qin Mu's indifferent attitude, Ning Fengzhi showed no displeasure whatsoever. Instead, he smiled and invited Qin Mu and his companion into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
As the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi still demonstrated his magnanimity.
Nodding to Ning Fengzhi, Qin Mu led Ling Yuan into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's castle.
When Ling Yuan passed by Ning Fengzhi, she gave him a cold snort without giving him any face, which made Ning Fengzhi's face look a little embarrassed.
However, Ning Fengzhi had no time to argue with Ling Yuan about these things; he hadn't forgotten Qin Mu's true purpose in coming here.
As the wealthiest of the three upper sects, and even among all sects on the continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's castle is extremely luxurious.
At least in Qin Mu's understanding, the castle was even more luxurious than the Spirit Main Hall in Spirit Hall City.
However, despite the imposing presence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qin Mu did not show any surprise.
If you think you can intimidate Qin Mu with just these external things, then you are underestimating Qin Mu.
Ning Fengzhi seemed to be aware of all this as well, and led Qin Mu and the other person into the reception hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Fengzhi then led Qin Mu to a seat.
However, to Ning Fengzhi's surprise, not only did Qin Mu sit down at the table, but Ling Yuan also sat down next to Qin Mu.
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, then his expression immediately returned to normal, and he sat down opposite Qin Mu with a smile.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo did not sit down next to Ning Fengzhi like Ling Yuan did, but stood behind Ning Fengzhi.
The difference in status is obvious to the naked eye.
Before long, a maid from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gracefully approached and poured fragrant tea for Qin Mu and the others.
As the wealthiest sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect naturally has the best maids.
She was beautiful and gentle, with a well-proportioned figure, and her eyes often held alluring glances.
Faced with such temptation, Qin Mu naturally couldn't fall for it.
When it comes to allure, who can compare to Hu Liena?
Unaffected in the slightest, Qin Mu picked up the fragrant tea in front of him, took a sip, and then looked calmly at Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master Ning, I have come for the future of your sect. If you still intend to test me, then I shall take my leave."
As he spoke, Qin Mu made a gesture as if he was about to get up.
Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly persuaded Qin Mu to stop.
"Hehe, if young friend Qin Mu doesn't like it, I'll have them leave."
After saying that, Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, and the maids immediately left the reception room.
Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze back to Qin Mu, his expression finally becoming unusually serious.
"Young friend Qin Mu, what exactly is the meaning of the message you had Elder Liu deliver? Please tell me"
