Lin Chen snorted, saying, "They all say a merchant without deceit is not a merchant. Today, Lin Chen truly saw it. I'm afraid you two had already planned how to play your double act in front of Lin Chen before you even came. If Lin Chen's strength was lacking, you would have succeeded by now, wouldn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's face became a bit awkward, as their tactics had clearly been seen through!
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and teased, "Ning Fengzhi, you are truly laughable... Do you really think your schemes are unrivaled? Do you really think everyone in the World is an idiot? Using any means to achieve your goals, when did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School become so despicable???"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's already awkward face turned extremely ugly. Lin Chen's words seemed to stomp him and the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School underfoot, constantly rubbing them in. Ning Fengzhi had never experienced such a predicament, even when facing the current Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi had never been as unsightly and disheveled as he was today!!!!!
However, Ning Fengzhi did not regret his actions today. If the heavens gave him another chance, he would still make the same choice.
This World is inherently a World where the weak are prey to the strong. Ultimately, it was simply that he was not as skilled as the other.
But Ning Fengzhi knew that he and Chen Xin probably wouldn't get off lightly today. After a moment of thought, Ning Fengzhi bowed with both hands and said, "Master Lin, I was indeed disrespectful today. This was all Ning Chen's idea. For the sake of His Majesty, please spare Sword Douluo Chenxin. Ning Chen is willing to bear everything!"
"Fengzhi... no!" Sword Douluo Chenxin cried out anxiously upon hearing this. As soon as his voice fell, powerful sword qi emanated from Chen Xin's body, and the renowned Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand!!!!!
"Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!" Nine spirit rings suddenly rose, and a powerful killing intent instantly surged forth!
"Hmph!" Lin Chen snorted, and his void power erupted from his body, striking directly at Chen Xin.
Instantly, Chen Xin's body floated in the air. He looked at Lin Chen in horror. Chen Xin only felt a powerful force binding his body, making him completely unable to move!
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly, revealing a bitter smile!
Two confrontations had given him a full understanding of Lin Chen's strength. A Level 96 Super Douluo couldn't even last a single move against Lin Chen!
The Seven Kill Sword was already a top-tier Spirit on the Douluo Continent. Even against the Qian family's divine Spirit, the Seven Kill Sword was not inferior. Chen Xin's strength might not be extraordinarily strong, but at least he was among the top individuals on the Douluo Continent. Yet, such a top-tier expert was completely crushed by Lin Chen!
As Sword Douluo Chenxin lost his ability to act, Ning Fengzhi also knew that the two of them had completely lost their bargaining chips today!
As for the name Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi didn't utter it. With Lin Chen's strength, it was clear that Xue Qinghe needed Lin Chen, not the other way around!
Looking at Lin Chen, who was smirking, Ning Fengzhi said helplessly, "Master Lin, Fengzhi is willing to exchange his life for the Master's forgiveness. I hope the Master can spare Sword Douluo Chenxin. I guarantee that from now on, Sword Douluo Chenxin will not trouble the Master, and my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will also not trouble the Master!"
As he spoke, a dagger appeared in Ning Fengzhi's right hand. He slowly raised his right hand, his eyes flickering!
"No... Fengzhi, no!!!" Chen Xin, suspended in mid-air, struggled frantically, shouting with all his might!
Seeing the dagger in Ning Fengzhi's hand already pressed against his neck, Chen Xin's shouts grew louder and louder!
"Clang..."
A sound of something piercing the air rang out, and a flash of sword light instantly streaked across Ning Fengzhi's right hand.
Ning Fengzhi's right hand stiffened, and a hint of pain appeared on his face. He involuntarily loosened his grip on the dagger, and the sharp dagger fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Lin Chen with surprise. He had prepared himself for death, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, it was Lin Chen who stopped him!
"What use do I have for your life?" Lin Chen said indifferently, no emotion visible on his face!
Seeing this, Chen Xin, who was not far away, finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Ning Fengzhi looked at Lin Chen, bewildered, and asked, "Then what does Master Lin mean?"
Lin Chen said indifferently, "Surrender to me!"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was stunned, but in just one second, Ning Fengzhi understood the pros and cons. Facing Lin Chen's dominance, Ning Fengzhi not only showed no displeasure but instead revealed a hint of joyful surprise on his face.
"Ning Fengzhi represents the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in surrendering to Master Lin. From now on, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be at Master Lin's disposal!" Ning Fengzhi said respectfully.
Within a few short seconds, Ning Fengzhi made his choice. Although this outcome was completely unexpected before they arrived, after witnessing Lin Chen's strength, Ning Fengzhi decisively chose to surrender to Lin Chen. This was not only to save his life but also, more importantly, for the better development of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He believed that with Lin Chen's formidable strength, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would surely reach a higher level.
More importantly, Lin Chen possessed the Immortal Herb he had always dreamed of, an Immortal Herb that could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
Chen Xin, suspended in mid-air, slowly landed. He looked at Ning Fengzhi with surprise, finding it hard to believe that Ning Fengzhi would make such a choice.
In his heart, although Ning Fengzhi's actions had some flaws, he always considered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and it could be said that Ning Fengzhi valued the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School more than his own life.
However, Ning Fengzhi had not thought twice before choosing to surrender to Lin Chen, which made it difficult for him to accept at once. But even so, Chen Xin did not express any opinions. Having been with Ning Fengzhi for a long time, he believed that Ning Fengzhi's choice had his own reasons.
And the current situation was urgent; if Ning Fengzhi chose to refuse, both of them would likely die at Lin Chen's hands today!
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Very good, Ning Fengzhi, you are indeed a smart person!"
As he spoke, a jade box appeared in Lin Chen's hand. The jade box in Lin Chen's hand slowly floated towards Ning Fengzhi and finally landed in Ning Fengzhi's hand.
"Inside the jade box is the qiluo tulip you need! Consuming it can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the brilliance of the sun and moon. This flower cannot be swallowed; you must gently inhale its pistil, slowly absorbing its essence, and then cultivate your spirit power gradually, allowing the medicinal effects to spread throughout your limbs and bones!" Lin Chen said softly.
Lin Chen originally didn't have much ill will towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was related to his previous life's experiences. If it weren't for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's patronage in his previous life, Lin Chen wouldn't have become a powerhouse in the World so quickly!!!!!
