Chapter 617 Remnants of the Haotian Sect are Unworthy
Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi, who nodded. Then, Sword Douluo concealed his Title Douluo aura.
However, before he could suppress his aura, Sword Douluo, still seething with anger, couldn't help but let out a cold snort. The soul power pressure surrounding Shi Nian surged and crashed violently into Shi Nian, who was already prostrate on the ground.
With a thud, Shi Nian, who was powerless to resist, immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted, clearly having suffered a severe injury.
Seeing this, Salas simply shook his head and didn't say anything more.
In any case, as long as Shi Nian is still alive, the goal has been achieved. There is no need to provoke Sword Douluo, who is obviously still angry.
Grandpas who dote on their granddaughters have such volatile tempers; they're not to be trifled with.
Slightly gathering his thoughts, Salas remained calm, completely ignoring Sword Douluo's angry attack on Shi Nian. He then turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi before answering the other's question:
"Sect Leader Ning, don't accuse me of anything. When did I ever say I would protect Shi Nian? On the contrary, I am here on orders to capture Shi Nian."
Ning Fengzhi frowned, seemingly somewhat surprised:
"On orders? On whose orders?"
"Of course, it's on my orders." Salas straightened his expression, about to reveal the name of the person he was ordered to do so, when a gentle voice suddenly rang out beside him, interrupting him:
"Of course, it's on my orders."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo turned to look to the side.
From the woods to the right of the group, a handsome young man dressed in black, with a tall and straight figure and a gentle and peaceful demeanor, stepped out.
Behind him followed a handful of Soul Master guards, each dressed in knightly attire.
It was Ye Qifeng, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and ten Holy Emperor Warriors as guards.
"Sect Leader Ning, it's been a long time. How have you been? Greetings, Senior Sword Douluo."
Ye Qifeng quickly arrived at Salas's side, greeted Ning Fengzhi with a smile as he met Ning Fengzhi's slightly surprised gaze, and also bowed to Sword Douluo.
"So it was Ye Qifeng, the Holy Son of the Night."
Ning Fengzhi seemed to just realize what was happening, and responded with a smile.
Sword Douluo nodded slightly and gave a soft "hmm".
This titled Douluo, who was devoted to the sword path, had no feelings of liking or disliking Ye Qifeng. Apart from being a little curious about how the other party was able to block his mental perception, he had no other feelings.
However, he wasn't the type to pry into other people's secrets out of curiosity, so he simply nodded in response and didn't say anything more.
"Why is Your Highness here, Holy Son?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly and asked.
He and Sword Douluo followed closely behind Salas and his group to this place. Along the way, they did not sense any presence of Ye Qifeng, but they never expected that the other party was among them.
This made Ning Fengzhi think a bit more, believing that Ye Qifeng's sudden appearance here was definitely not without purpose.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi frown as if he had misunderstood something, Ye Qifeng smiled and then casually waved his hand, saying:
"Oh, it's nothing, I just came out for a stroll because I had nothing else to do."
"Just out for a stroll because I'm bored? Who would believe that nonsense?" Ning Fengzhi was speechless. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Ye Qifeng continue:
"Unexpectedly, I witnessed a very interesting scene."
"The team leader from Canghui Academy was secretly ambushing the participants of the Elite Soul Master Competition. We wanted to intervene, but Sect Master Ning and Senior Sword Douluo beat us to it."
As Ye Qifeng spoke, he glanced down at Shi Nian, who had already fainted, and then casually looked at Tang San, who was leaning weakly against a tree beside him.
However, Tang San saw this gaze as full of sarcasm and gloating, which he found utterly repulsive.
What's more, the other party is also my enemy.
The thought of the unbearable scenes he witnessed in his dream, the agonizing torment he suffered, and the fact that his shameful state had been witnessed by the other party was unbearable.
Tang San was instantly enraged and couldn't help but step forward, pointing at Ye Qifeng and Salas's faces, and began to question them loudly:
"So, you've actually been around this all along, right?"
"Since you were all there, witnessing Shi Nian's attempt to ambush me, why didn't you act sooner?"
Ye Qifeng looked at Tang San with a puzzled expression, his eyes narrowed as he stared at him, and said expressionlessly:
"What? Judging from your angry little eyes, are you blaming us?"
"Why should we intervene? What's our relationship with you? We're complete strangers, why should we intervene? Why should we save you?"
"If someone helps you, it's a favor; if they don't, it's their right. How come in your eyes, Tang San, it's like others are obligated to help you? What a joke! There's no such rule in the world of Soul Masters."
These words made Tang San's face turn ugly, and his expression changed unpredictably.
"Helping is a favor, not helping is one's right? What a brilliant statement."
Ning Fengzhi silently pondered Ye Qifeng's words and felt a deep sense of agreement.
Tang San didn't have Ning Fengzhi's leisure to appreciate the meaning behind Ye Qifeng's words. At this moment, he only felt that he had been mocked by the other party, and his heart was full of anger.
After a moment, Tang San seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly gave a cold laugh:
"Heh, doesn't your Spirit Hall pride itself on being the enforcers of the Spirit Master world, responsible for maintaining order? And this is all you've got?"
"Seeing a weak Soul Master being ambushed and killed by a powerful Soul Master for no reason, why didn't you offer any help?"
"Then what qualifications does your Spirit Hall have to act as the enforcers of the Spirit Master world?"
Upon hearing this, almost everyone—Salas, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, and the ten Holy Emperor Warriors brought by Ye Qifeng—turned their eyes on Tang San at the same time, their gazes filled with strange expressions.
Ye Qifeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing this, Tang San's face grew even more gloomy:
"What are you laughing at?"
"Ah, it's nothing," Ye Qifeng's smile faded slightly, his gaze lowered as he looked down at Tang San, "I just want to say that you are ignorant and shallow."
Tang San immediately flew into a rage: "You..."
Ignoring Tang San's impotent rage, Ye Qifeng slowly shook his head and said:
"The Spirit Hall is indeed the law enforcer of the Spirit Master world, responsible for managing and maintaining order in the Spirit Master world. However, it mainly targets the evil spirits of the entire Douluo Continent, namely evil Spirit Masters, as well as those Spirit Masters who are wanted for committing crimes without cause and affecting ordinary people."
"Although the matter of intercepting you halfway through the journey also falls under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall, the problem is that you are a remnant of the Clear Sky Sect, and the disciples of the spirit master forces that oppose the Spirit Hall, including the direct descendants who have been exiled, are not under the protection of the Spirit Hall."
"Tang San, you don't actually think that the people of the Spirit Hall don't recognize the Clear Sky Hammer spirit in your hand, do you?"
Tang San looked surprised, as if he was hearing about the Spirit Hall's law enforcement powers for the first time, and then his face darkened at the words "remnants of the Clear Sky Sect".
Ye Qifeng smiled calmly and continued:
"Furthermore, the Spirit Hall's status as the enforcer of the Spirit Master world is not something to boast about, but rather the result of historical origins, as well as the result of the joint recommendation and recognition of countless people on the Douluo Continent who are grateful for the Spirit Hall's achievements."
"If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense here and make a fool of yourself."
Hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Tang San's eyes widened, but he scoffed inwardly, full of disbelief. These so-called historical origins were never taught by the master; they were fake, definitely fake.
However, when he turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, hoping to verify with them that their statements were blatant lies, he saw that although their expressions were slightly strange, they did not show any signs of doubt or rebuttal.
Tang San was completely stunned.
Could it be that what Ye Qifeng said was actually true?
The Spirit Hall's status as the enforcer of the Spirit Master world was truly the result of the collective decision of all Spirit Masters across the continent.
At that moment, Tang San felt as if he had eaten excrement, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Qifeng ignored Tang San's face, which had instantly become quite interesting, and turned to look at Ning Fengzhi, while pointing at Shi Nian lying on the ground like a dead dog:
"Sect Leader Ning, is it alright to leave the matter of the Spirit Hall handling the brutal treatment of the participants in the Elite Soul Master Competition?"
"This All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is a grand event for the soul master world, hosted by the Spirit Hall. However, such a case of harming participating students has occurred. Our Spirit Hall must investigate this matter thoroughly."
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, but quickly nodded in agreement:
"no problem."
To be honest, if he weren't a member of the organizing committee of the Elite Soul Master Tournament, he really wouldn't want to get involved in this mess. Since the Spirit Hall wanted to take it over, why not? He could just leave it to them.
The Spirit Hall is, after all, the enforcer of the spirit master world, and also the organizer of the continent-wide advanced spirit master academy elite competition. Therefore, it is most appropriate to hand over the case of the persecution of the participants in the spirit master elite competition to the Spirit Hall.
They are professionals when it comes to investigating cases and apprehending criminal Soul Masters.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi nod, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but smile faintly, his heart already bursting with joy.
Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi, do you think that by handing Shi Nian over to the Spirit Hall you've gotten rid of a troublesome person?
Little did you know, you were missing out on something.
If you knew that Shi Nian possessed a soul bone, and that it was a gem-type head soul bone that was highly compatible with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, I wonder how you would express your gratitude.
Noticing Ye Qifeng looking at him with a smile, Ning Fengzhi felt something was off, but he didn't think much of it.
…………
"Take him away."
After reaching an agreement with Ning Fengzhi, Ye Qifeng, with a smile on his face, waved to the ten Holy Emperor Warriors behind him.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The Holy Emperor's warriors, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately sent four of them to Shi Nian's side.
Just to be on the safe side, one of them raised his hand and gathered his soul power, randomly tapping on Shi Nian's body, breaking several important bones and joints, and sealing his cultivation at the same time.
Then, the four men each lifted one of Shi Nian's legs off the ground and turned to leave.
At this moment, Tang San once again stepped forward to cause trouble.
"Wait a minute."
Seeing that the Spirit Hall people were about to take Shi Nian away, Tang San could not agree. After calming down from his fluctuating emotions, he immediately stepped forward to stop the four Holy Emperor Warriors.
"Kid, what do you mean?"
It was Salas who asked the question. When he saw that Tang San dared to stop the Holy Emperor Warrior from taking Shi Nian away, Salas's old face immediately darkened, and he stared sharply at Tang San.
As the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall and a Soul Douluo powerhouse with a Soul Power of Level 87, Salas's aura was something that Tang San, a mere Level 42 Soul Master, could not withstand.
The overwhelming pressure made it almost impossible for Tang San to breathe, but he still held his neck straight, staring intently at Salas, his eyes filled with ferocity.
"As the saying goes, grievances should be repaid with grievances, and hatred with hatred. Since he wanted to kill me, I will take revenge and kill him. This is a matter of course."
"Bishop Salas, I wish you would let me kill Shi Nian with my own hands."
Tang San hated Shi Nian to the core. Whenever he thought of the terrifying and unbearable scenes he had seen in the illusion space, his eyes would involuntarily reveal murderous intent.
If he didn't kill Shi Nian with his own hands, he wouldn't be able to quell his hatred. How could he let Shi Nian be taken away by the Spirit Hall like this?
Moreover, the Spirit Hall is completely untrustworthy.
In Tang San's view, the Spirit Hall was essentially an evil organization. Everyone who belonged to the Spirit Hall was destined to die, and there was no credibility whatsoever.
He said he took Shi Nian away for a case investigation, haha, what a load of rubbish! He certainly doesn't believe it.
They might arrest him today, release him tomorrow, and then let that scoundrel Shi Nian continue to harm him and the Shrek Seven Devils.
Tang San felt as if he had figured everything out and believed that it was all a conspiracy orchestrated by the Spirit Hall.
The extreme hatred and distrust in his heart affected even the way he looked at Salas and Ye Qifeng, his eyes filled with a gloomy and malevolent aura.
Salas had no idea what Tang San was imagining; he simply glanced at him coldly, his aged voice carrying an undeniable tone:
"No, Shi Nian can't die yet."
"You are not the only victim. Before you, several other contestants were murdered and went missing, but due to the lack of clues and evidence, the case remains unsolved."
"Now that the murderer has been caught, these cases must be investigated thoroughly as well. This is to give justice to the other victims and to provide an explanation to the public."
"Therefore, Shi Nian must be put on trial!"
Upon hearing Salas's words, Tang San opened his mouth, wanting to refute them, but he couldn't utter a word, because Salas's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he had no way to refute them.
He opened his mouth for a long time but still couldn't say a word. Seeing that the Holy Emperor Warriors ignored him and turned to leave, Tang San immediately became anxious.
In desperation, he instinctively turned his pleading gaze to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who were still flying in mid-air on the Seven Killings Greatsword.
However.
Faced with Tang San's pleading gaze, Ning Fengzhi gently shook his head.
