[Cursing in his heart and under his breath was one thing, but the matter still had to be resolved.]
[After realizing that simply sending messengers wouldn't work, Ning Qianxing decided to personally travel to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to stop the conflict.]
[Traveling alongside him, besides Ning Fengzhi and some Sect members, the most important figure was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's current Guardian Douluo, the Rank 94 Zhenshan Douluo.]
[This Zhenshan Douluo was a close brother Ning Qianxing had befriended in his youth; because he had always been alone, Ning Qianxing had recruited him into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.]
[Thus, the group from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School rushed toward Blue Lightning City, intending to arrive before the Clear Sky Sect to persuade the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Compared to those arrogant and conceited fools of the Clear Sky Sect, Ning Qianxing felt the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would be easier to talk to.]
[Ning Qianxing didn't expect the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to back down completely and comply with the Clear Sky Sect's unreasonable demands.]
[But regarding retaliation, you can certainly take it slow.]
[As for Yu Xiaogang, Ning Qianxing felt that if the boy apologized to the Clear Sky Sect and then stayed within the Sect to Cultivate, disappearing from public view for a few years, wouldn't the matter be settled?]
[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would have done what was necessary, and the Clear Sky Sect would have saved Face.]
[What? You're talking about Yu Xiaogang's dignity and Face?]
[He's just a child; what need does he have for dignity and Face?]
[The reason you, Yu Xiaogang, achieved what you have today is because the Sect behind you put in great effort; therefore, for the sake of your Sect, you should contribute your everything!]
[Having not yet received intelligence regarding the battle between Zui Qiansha and Yu Xiaogang, Ning Qianxing was still viewing Yu Xiaogang through his previous perspective.]
[Finally, the Strength Clan.]
[Who cares if they live or die!]
[Regarding the fact that the Strength Clan was to be completely exterminated, Ning Qianxing had never once thought of stopping it.]
[The larger a power was, the more they would feel the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was doing the right thing.]
[After all, whose family wouldn't produce some talented youngsters in the future?]
[In this manner, Ning Qianxing arrived at Blue Lightning City with his group.]
[In Blue Lightning City, Ning Qianxing's group successfully met with Yu Yuanzhen and the other high-ranking members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Upon seeing Yu Yuanzhen, the hair on the back of Zhenshan Douluo's neck, who was walking alongside Ning Qianxing, stood on end.]
[It was the subconscious instinct of a weak prey encountering a powerful hunter.]
[But how was that possible?]
[He was a Rank 94 Titled Douluo; how could Yu Yuanzhen make him feel this way?]
[Unless the opponent's strength already surpassed his own, or the opponent's Spirit had undergone a massive evolution!]
[Regardless of which it was, it proved that Yu Yuanzhen's current strength was extraordinary.]
[Thus, Zhenshan Douluo informed Ning Qianxing of his perception in a voice only he could hear.]
[Hearing Zhenshan Douluo's words, Ning Qianxing's pupils constricted; his expression remained unchanged, but a storm raged in his heart.]
[He understood; he understood everything now.]
[The question he couldn't figure out before—why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was being so unyielding in this conflict—finally had an answer.]
[It turned out Yu Yuanzhen's strength had significantly improved.]
[Coupled with the addition of a new Titled Douluo to the Sect, they finally had the confidence to contend with the Clear Sky Sect.]
[Thinking this way, could it be that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect actually wanted to use this opportunity to announce their power to the entire Douluo Continent and take the title of the worlds number one sect for themselves?]
[The more Ning Qianxing thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed; he remained calm on the surface, but internally he began cursing again.]
[Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was prepared to seize the title of worlds number one sect, their mediation this time would be difficult to succeed.]
[After all, this was a grand plan for a Sect; how could they be swayed by a few words from others?]
[Of course, since things hadn't actually happened yet, Ning Qianxing couldn't be certain that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had truly decided on this.]
[So he resolved to test them thoroughly.]
[If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect didn't have such intentions, he would continue to persuade them.]
[If they did have such intentions, he would have to carefully consider which side to take in this conflict.]
[Would he stand by the Clear Sky Sect's side, helping them suppress the rise of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?]
[Or would he stand by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, witnessing their rise and reaping massive benefits in the process?]
[Or perhaps he would help neither, simply standing aside to watch the show?]
["School Master Ning, Zhenshan Douluo, it has truly been a long time."]
[Yu Yuanzhen smilingly invited Ning Qianxing's group into the reception hall.]
[The Grand Elder and the other Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect all followed at Yu Yuanzhen's side.]
[Among the Elders, only the Grand Elder did not restrain his Soul Power, so Zhenshan Douluo could easily feel the Titled Douluo-level Soul Power emanating from him.]
[The other Elders all tightly restrained their Soul Power within their bodies; thus, in Zhenshan Douluo's perception, they seemed like low-level Spirit Masters who had just stepped onto the path of cultivation.]
[Not understanding why these Elders were doing this, Zhenshan Douluo didn't pay much attention to such a small matter, thinking it might be some special secret technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Thinking this, Zhenshan Douluo did not inform Ning Qianxing of this anomaly, causing Ning Qianxing to miss a most vital piece of intelligence.]
[Once the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were seated, Ning Qianxing picked up a teacup and tasted the tea.]
["Fine tea. I presume these leaves must have been harvested from your Sect's own thunder tea tree?"]
["Hahaha, School Master Ning truly has a Wisdom Eye; it is indeed tea from the thunder tea tree. If you like it, I shall gift you some later,"]
[Yu Yuanzhen said with a laugh.]
["Sect Master Yu is too kind. I truly do like this stuff. If possible, I would be willing to purchase some from your Sect every year. I wonder if your Sect's production of this tea can satisfy the hobby of a tea lover like me?"]
[Ning Qianxing also maintained a smiling Face, as if he truly just wanted to buy tea.]
["Rest assured on that point, School Master Ning. Drinking this thunder tea can slightly stimulate the meridians, which is beneficial for Spirit Masters who have awakened lightning-attribute Spirits. Therefore, we have specifically established a plantation to grow this tea."]
["Oh? This is the first I've heard of that. Stimulating the meridians—that is a fine thing for assisting the younger generation in their Cultivation."]
[Ning Qianxing put on a look of 'surprise,' and then suddenly shifted the topic.]
["Speaking of the younger generation, I cannot help but think of your son, Yu Xiaogang. A Thousand-Year First Soul Ring and a Ten-Thousand-Year Third Soul Ring—such achievements are shocking to both ancient and modern times."]
["If our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School produced such a Genius, I'm afraid I would wake up laughing from my dreams."]
[This sentence was Ning Qianxing's genuine sentiment.]
["Hahaha, that brat is just lucky."]
[Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, but the smile on his Face was impossible to suppress.]
[With a son like Yu Xiaogang, it was truly hard for Yu Yuanzhen not to feel proud.]
["However, although your son's achievements are already remarkable, he has ultimately not yet fully grown up."]
["I feel that at this time, providing him with a more peaceful environment to grow is what we Elders should do. I imagine Sect Master Yu must think so as well?"]
