Chapter 26 A Thought Like Cutting Off Flesh
Ning Huan's early warning made people a little uneasy.
But with the arrow already on the bowstring, Ning Hao had no time to hesitate.
Moreover, he had already paid a large deposit, so it was unrealistic for him to stop there.
Therefore, as long as it doesn't involve the survival of the sect or the lives of those close to him, there's basically nothing he can't give up.
Thinking of this, Ning Hao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, there was no hesitation in his eyes, and his words were full of determination.
"If we can preserve our heritage, what is there to be attached to in material possessions?"
"And most importantly, I believe in you."
"..."
Hiss~
How disgusting!
But you know what, most people really can't handle this.
Any normal teenager would become a die-hard fan on the spot upon hearing such a moving statement.
"Since you're already mentally prepared, then I'll tell you~"
"Let's make this clear beforehand, no arguments!"
Ning Hao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but he replied resolutely:
"certainly!"
"Then let's team up and blow up the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Peak."
"Fine! I agree... my ass!!"
At this moment, Ning Hao, who had been trying his best to remain calm, suddenly lost his temper and swore, which was rare for him.
"I'm asking you to devise a plan to ensure that the disciples can safely reach their secluded place without arousing suspicion!"
"How come it's turned into 'blowing up the sect' here?!"
"Look, you said it yourself, 'It won't arouse suspicion'~"
Seeing his sect leader's furious and irritable demeanor as he suppressed his anger, Ning Huan shrugged, appearing quite indifferent.
"Think about it, who are external forces least wary of?"
"Of course, it's definitely... a dead person?"
Ning Hao, who was in a bad mood, suddenly frowned and hesitated slightly.
"right."
The latter snapped his fingers and immediately expressed his thoughts.
"Suppose that Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Peak is deliberately destroyed by 'some enemy' in full view of everyone."
"Most of the sect's elite disciples died in the disaster, the sect lost countless sums of money, and its foundation was largely destroyed."
"But the sect leader, the three elders, and the senior monks used the excuse of 'cultivating character' and 'building the academy' to..."
"He took most of the disciples, who were unruly and had slightly lower aptitude, to the [Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Academy] to oversee its construction, thus escaping the disaster."
"That..."
At this point, Ning Huan suddenly stopped, his smile growing even wider.
However, in the eyes of the two people opposite him, he looked no different from a demon at this moment.
It's all because they've already gone this far.
Even a Sword Douluo who is not good at scheming can figure out the key point.
Not to mention Ning Hao, whose thoughts were even quicker, his muttered whispers had already echoed in every corner of the side hall.
"If the plan goes smoothly..."
"The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will transform from a sect that is confined to a corner of the world into an academy filled with hatred and no longer has any scruples, and possesses extremely strong high-level combat power."
"While attracting attention, buying time, and dispelling doubts for the inner circle, it can also greatly reduce external pressure."
"After all... no one on the mainland wants to provoke a group of 'madmen' who are ready to explode at any moment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head, his usually calm and gentle eyes now filled with complex emotions.
"Xiao Huan, you have such a vicious mind..."
"Hey! Uncle Ning, that's going too far! Why are you swearing at people!"
"I was just complimenting you!"
"Ha, do you think I believe that?"
After exchanging a few jokes with each other to ease the atmosphere, Ning Hao finally showed a pained expression.
"The idea is great, but the potential losses are too great..."
"Isn't there any other way? Like bombing it in a different location?"
Unfortunately, no.
As he spoke, Ning Huan shook his head, spread his hands like a bear, and gave a helpless expression that looked quite irritating.
"Regardless of the reason, sending out a large number of disciples will inevitably attract attention from the outside world."
"Furthermore, it would be too deliberate for all the disciples to die outside. Anyone with eyes could see that it was a fake death to escape."
"Not only will we fail to achieve our initial goals, but there is also a high chance that we will cause more trouble."
"Uncle Ning, the more you do and say, the more mistakes you make. The right way is to be simple and direct."
"The biggest gain is retaining the right to final interpretation, since nobody believes we would be willing to blow up our own house anyway."
The series of explanations and persuasions left Ning Hao in a state of inner turmoil.
He understood the reasons and comprehended them.
However, revealing one's family background and completely abandoning one's ancestral heritage is an act of utter rebellion, tantamount to destroying ancestral graves.
I really can't make up my mind right now.
'Wow, we really did bring back a real ancestor...'
Just as his thoughts were in disarray, the words that suddenly came from behind him shattered all his hesitation like a heavy hammer.
"Those who wield the sword should have an indomitable spirit!"
"Hesitation and indecisiveness are the actions of mediocre people."
"Sect Master, do not let the divine weapon cut you because of a moment's hesitation."
Looking back, the old man's face was unusually serious.
His body was surrounded by sword intent, seemingly possessing the power to cut through all things.
This caused the Seven Killing Sword Seal in Ning Huan's sea of consciousness to flash frequently.
"Phew... I understand, Uncle Jian."
Upon seeing this, Ning Hao's hesitation vanished instantly.
He regained his usual composure and shrewdness.
"Xiao Huan, I agree to your plan!"
"Tell me, how are we going to blow this up?"
Alright!
If I had known that Sword Douluo's words carried weight, I wouldn't have wasted my breath.
Why not just call Chen Xin out?
Waste of time!
Unfortunately, he couldn't bring himself to complain openly, so he had no choice but to keep quiet and bear it.
"Simple. Arrange for skilled members of the sect to conceal their identities and purchase a dozen or twenty level-six fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in batches from the Sun Moon Empire's black market, and also prepare a large amount of gunpowder."
"During this time, we will secretly transfer the inner disciples in batches, and at the same time send the unselected disciples to the academy's residence."
"Finally, when the time is right, set it on fire, and with a bang, send them all flying into the sky, while also eliminating a wave of spies."
"Oh, remember to prepare some corpses, otherwise it will be easy to find out something."
"How to send the disciples out and other specific details are up to you, Uncle Ning."
Hearing that he was going to shift the blame again, Ning Hao was furious.
However, he was really worried about letting Ning Huan take charge of this matter.
Of course, it wasn't due to a lack of competence.
Rather, it's because this brat's way of thinking is truly too unconventional.
If he suddenly gets the urge and does something strange or bizarre, that would be truly disastrous.
"Sigh, please let me know, and I'll take care of the problem!"
"I really don't know what sins I committed in my past life that God would send such a... precious thing as you to torment me."
After muttering a few grumbling words, Ning Hao waved his hand impatiently, signaling for people to leave.
"Don't just stand around doing nothing!"
"I don't expect you to be interested in teaching other sect disciples, but at least you should take care of Xiaotian and Wufeng's cultivation!"
"This is a perfect opportunity for you to learn [Distraction Control] and combat techniques!"
"So as not to embarrass the sect... oh, I mean the academy, in the next Soul Battle Tournament!"
"By the way, what about your fifth spirit ring? Are you focusing on the quality of the spirit beast or its age?"
"Um, either way is fine, it doesn't matter to me~"
Hearing Ning Huan blurt out those words, Ning Hao felt even more envious, jealous, and resentful.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Who's as capable as you!"
"A perfectly good spirit ring without any spirit skills can be temporarily attached to a spirit body, increasing its lifespan without limit or loss!"
"Look how powerful I am~ Well, not that powerful, at least for now I can't withstand the drain on my soul power~"
"Get out!"
"I'm off then~ Bye-bye~"
