Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 57: Meeting Meng Yiran Again

When they were fighting just now, he noticed the scars on the abdomen of the crested cockroach caused by a blunt object.

But now, the abdomen of the Phoenix-tailed Cockapoo was pierced by him, and the original wound had long disappeared.

Putting away his thoughts, he did not forget to urge: "Oscar, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and do it."

Oscar thanked everyone, took out a dagger from his back, and easily killed the phoenix-tailed cockatrice.

The purple soul ring floated in the air. When Oscar was about to absorb the soul ring, a sudden voice interrupted his action.

"This is my cockatiel. Why did you kill it?"

Looking for the source of the voice, I saw that the two people coming were an old man and a young girl, and the one who was talking was the girl.

"Who are you?" Zhao Wuji looked at the newcomers warily.

Being able to approach here quietly without him noticing, the other party must be an old hand who has been in the forest for many years. If it weren't for the girl's voice, I'm afraid they would have been in great trouble.

"My name is Chao Tianxiang. I have been given the title of 'Snake Lady' by my friends in the spirit master world. The Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake you hunted is the spirit ring I prepared for my granddaughter."

"Dragon Man and Snake Woman!" Zhao Wuji's brows tightened, and he quickly bowed and saluted, "I am Zhao Wuji, and I am honored to meet Senior Snake Woman. This Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake was hunted by us. It is not proper for you to jump out now, is it?"

Zhao Wuji was afraid of the strength of both Dragon Man and Snake Woman, but he didn't know that there was only Snake Woman but no Dragon Man at the moment.

Chao Tianxiang is also afraid of Zhao Wuji.

She only has the power of a Soul Emperor, so she doesn't dare to offend Zhao Wuji, a Soul Sage, easily.

Seeing Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong in the team, Meng Yiran pointed at them angrily, "It's you!"

"Yi Ran, do you know them?" Chao Tianxiang turned around and asked.

This matter would be easier to handle if there were acquaintances involved.

Zhao Wuji also looked at the two of them with a puzzled look.

Ning Tianchen walked forward, smiled faintly and greeted her: "Ms. Meng Yiran, I didn't expect that we would meet again."

Chao Tianxiang carefully looked at the two of them. Ning Tianchen's soul power fluctuations had clearly reached the Soul Master level.
"This is the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul!" Looking at the Martial Soul in the other party's hand, Chao Tianxiang was shocked.

"Grandma, they are the people who humiliated me in the city that day." Meng Yiran said angrily.

Chao Tianxiang didn't dare to offend the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. She gently stroked Meng Yiran's forehead and advised: "Yiran, you were indeed in the wrong about what happened that day. Now that it's over, let it go. Don't mention it again in the future."

As she said that, she turned and looked at Ning Rongrong, "My dear friend, may I know who your father is?"

"My father is Ning Fengzhi." Ning Rongrong said proudly.

Chao Tianxiang showed an expression of "as expected", and then said: "I didn't expect that you are the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I am honored to meet you. Please say hello to Sect Master Ning for me."

After a pause, she continued:
"The abdomen of this Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake has wounds caused by my snake husband. Since it has been hunted by you, I have nothing to say. However, let's form a team and write off this matter once we obtain the spirit ring. How about that?"

Zhao Wuji didn't dare to agree easily, and turned around to check the Phoenix-tailed Cockatrice.

Turning the body of the Phoenix-tailed Cockatiel over, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but smile, "Senior Snake Lady, I'm afraid what you said is not true. Please see, the abdomen of this Phoenix-tailed Cockatiel does not have the injuries you said."

Chao Tianxiang was a little surprised at first, but soon stopped worrying and said, "Acalanatha is very clever. I think I was wrong. Yi Ran, let's go."

The Shrek team included Ning Fengzhi's daughter and Acalanatha. It would be no good for the two of them to continue to fight. After sending the two snake ladies away, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but ask, "Tianchen, have you seen the wound on the abdomen?"

The snake lady doesn't seem like the type to lie, so there is only one possibility, Ning Tianchen did it on purpose.

Ning Tianchen explained: "During the fight, I saw three blunt wounds on the abdomen. I guess someone might use this as an excuse to cover up the old wounds with new ones."

"My good brother, I'm grateful for your kindness." Oscar was touched.

Zhao Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, "You are really smart, you saved us from getting into trouble."

"Oscar goes to absorb the spirit ring, and the others rest here."

……

After walking a distance, Meng Yiran said angrily, "Grandma, you were the one who injured that Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake. How could it be such a coincidence that another one exactly like it appeared?"

Chao Tianxiang looked at her lovingly and explained in a gentle tone: "Yi Ran, Ning Fengzhi's daughter is here, how could the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect not send strong men to protect her in secret? Besides, grandma is only a Soul Emperor, while Acala is a Soul Sage. If we really fight, we will be the ones who suffer."

Meng Yiran muttered, "Then let's wait for Grandpa to come and then seek revenge on them."

Chao Tianxiang chuckled, "Where did the hatred come from? Yiran, you and the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect only had a verbal dispute, and the matter has already been exposed, so don't mention it again in the future."

"Well, since we missed the Phoenix-tailed Cockatiel, we might be able to find something better. Grandma will go with you to look for it."

……

While Oscar was absorbing the spirit ring, Ning Tianchen walked to Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, come with me. I have something to tell you."

"What do you want?" It was Dai Mubai who spoke. He looked at Ning Tianchen with an unhappy expression.

"Don't meddle in my business." With a light snort, Zhu Zhuqing followed Ning Tianchen and walked to the side.

Dai Mubai was panting heavily, anger burning in his chest.

After feeling Zhao Wuji's gaze, he didn't dare to get angry and just sat there sulking.

After glancing around and seeing that no one was eavesdropping, Ning Tianchen got straight to the point and said, "Zhu Qing, Rongrong must have already told you last night about inviting you to join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said calmly, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Ning Tianchen smiled softly and pointed out, "You probably still have fantasies about the position of Queen Xingluo in your heart, right? Earlier, you told Rongrong and the others that you wanted to cancel your engagement with Dai Mubai, hoping to use this to provoke Dai Mubai."

"Your calculations were wrong. Dai Mubai not only failed to restrain himself, but also became even more aggressive in hanging out with outsiders."

"Don't say anything more." Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, panic flashing in her eyes.

Ning Tianchen smiled faintly and changed the subject, "Don't you think that the Xingluo Empire's system of succession to the throne is ridiculous?"

"I admit that this method can indeed select a number of powerful rulers for the Xingluo Empire. But have you ever thought that if the two princes have the same innate spirit power, then in the competition after adulthood, the older prince will definitely have the advantage."

"Because of his age, many ministers in the court will invest in him, and latecomers will have almost no chance of turning defeat into victory."

Dai Mubai chose to give up on himself, largely because of the above reasons.
