Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Heaven Dou Empire, Elemental Valley.
Eighteen heavy carriages, made entirely of dark iron, formed a long convoy, crushing the main road outside the valley and making it creak.
Around every carriage followed four fully armed Spirit King-level guards.
The lead carriage was the most spacious and luxurious.
The inside of the carriage was covered with soft, pure white tiger skin.
Ning Tian was lying sprawl-eagled on it, his head resting comfortably on the lap of the accompanying maid, opening his mouth from time to time to receive the peeled iced grapes fed by the maid.
“This damned road is too bumpy. It almost shook this Young Master’s breakfast out.”
Ning Tian chewed the grapes and complained vaguely.
“Young Master, bear with it. We have already reached the valley entrance.”
The maid quickly lightened her movements and carefully massaged his shoulders.
Outside the carriage, Ning Fengzhi wore a moon-white robe embroidered with dark golden threads, riding on a tall steed at the very front.
Slightly behind him on his left by half a body length was Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whose white clothes surpassed the snow.
Gu Rong stayed behind to hold down the fort at the Sect.
This time, the two of them led the team for the marriage proposal.
The sound of horse hooves stopped on the wide bluestone plaza at the valley entrance.
The grand main gate of the Elemental Valley was quiet at this moment.
Not to mention red carpets and welcoming stewards, even the two vermilion gates studded with copper nails were tightly closed.
Underneath the stone lions on both sides of the gate stood only two gate guards dressed in chores attire, leaning against the stone pillars and chatting idly.
Seeing this grand convoy stop, the two guards exchanged glances without even straightening their waists.
The tall and thin guard on the left lazily yawned and walked forward carrying a long spear in one hand.
“Halt! Elemental Valley is not receiving guests today. Go back from where you came.”
The tall and thin guard did not even look at Ning Fengzhi straightly, and his tone was extremely arrogant.
“Audacious!”
An accompanying Outer Sect Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School shouted coldly.
“Are your dog eyes blind? Didn’t you see this is the convoy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Go call the Clan Chiefs of your Four Great Families to come out and welcome us!”
“Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?”
The tall and thin guard dug his ears and sneered unceremoniously.
“What about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Do you still think you are in Tiandou City?”
He stretched out his finger and pointed at the luxury carriage behind.
“Forget about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even if the Supreme Sovereign came, as long as they brought that waste who cannot Cultivate, they will not be seen at all!”
“Our Elemental Valley will not take in a good-for-nothing who cannot even Breakthrough ten ranks of spirit power!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the whole place instantly froze.
Ning Tian, sitting in the carriage, raised his eyebrows, turned over, and continued lying down.
“The people of this Elemental Valley are truly stubborn.”
“Dad, these people won’t even let us through the door. Can we pack up and head back home?”
Ning Fengzhi did not look back.
He still sat upright on the horse’s back, and only a soft chuckle came out.
“Elder Zhao.”
Ning Fengzhi’s tone was very calm.
“Present!”
The Outer Sect Elder who had just shouted stepped forward in strides.
“The Eldest Young Master has a joyous occasion today, and I cannot bear to listen to this kind of non-speaking dog barking.”
Ning Fengzhi gently straightened his cuffs.
“This subordinate understands!”
Elder Zhao suddenly raised his head, and the seven spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—at his feet burst open instantly.
The berserk coercion of the Spirit Saint level was released without reservation, directly forcing the tall and thin guard’s knees to soften with a thump, kneeling on the ground.
“You… You dare to move in the Elemental Valley…”
Elder Zhao’s cattail-fan-sized palm, carrying thick spirit power, backhanded a slap across.
“Bang!”
That guard didn’t even have time to scream.
His whole body flew horizontally like a broken sack, heavily crashing into the vermilion gate, sliding down, and completely losing his breath.
The remaining guard was so frightened that his whole body shook like a sieve, unable to even hold the long spear in his hand, which dropped to the ground with a clatter.
“Go report.”
Elder Zhao withdrew his hand, pulled a handkerchief to wipe his palms, “Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, if the main gate is not opened, then don’t blame me.”
The living guard crawled and stumbled to push open the side door next to it, crawling and running inside.
The shrill alarm whistles echoed wildly inside the Elemental Valley.
In less than half the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, accompanied by a harsh sound of mechanisms, the two tightly closed vermilion main gates of the Elemental Valley were slowly pushed open from the inside.
Headed by Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, along with the Water, Fire, and Wind Family Patriarchs, leading more than a dozen masters at the Spirit Saint and Spirit Emperor levels, they hurried out from inside the main gate.
The expressions of the four of them were uglier than the other.
They had originally agreed to give Ning Fengzhi a cold shoulder.
Who would have thought that this Sect Master, who had always been known for his elegance, would actually start a massacre right at the door today!
“School Master Ning!”
The Fire Family Patriarch had the most explosive temper.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, he was about to throw a fit on the spot,
“What does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School mean by this? Do you take our Elemental Valley for something made of mud!”
Ning Fengzhi flipped off his horse and walked slowly to the front of the Fire Family Patriarch.
“Old Huo, food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately.”
Ning Fengzhi smiled and clapped his hands, “I brought a full eighteen carriages of heavy gifts, coming with utmost sincerity to forge a marital alliance.”
“Yet your people insulted the Young Lord of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School right to my face. I helped discipline a servant and clean up the house for you. Instead of thanking me, why are you getting angry?”
“You!”
The Fire Family Patriarch was choked with anger.
Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
Chen Xin, standing behind Ning Fengzhi, didn’t even draw his sword; he merely took half a step forward.
An ultimate, sharp killing Sword Intent soared into the sky, directly locking onto the Fire Family Patriarch and Yu Luomian.
Yu Luomian’s expression changed drastically, and he retreated three large steps, his blood and Qi churning.
He was an eighty-ninth-rank Spirit Douluo, only a step away from a Titled Douluo!
Just the locking of killing intent made him like this?
This Old Swordsman’s cultivation… was even more terrifying than before!
“Everyone, the betrothal gifts have already been brought. Do you intend to let us stand outside all the time?”
The smile on Ning Fengzhi’s face subsided a bit.
The Wind Family Patriarch hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of the Fire Family Patriarch.
People had already died at the entrance, and the other party brought the god of slaughter, Sword Douluo.
Trying to forcefully stop them definitely wouldn’t yield any good fruit.
“School Master Ning has come from afar. Please enter.”
In the end, Yu Luomian stepped out.
He forcefully suppressed the grievance in his heart, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation.
The Wind Family Patriarch followed behind.
With an expressionless face on the outside, he was gloating in his heart.
Anyway, this marriage proposal’s turn wouldn’t fall on the Wind Family or the Lightning Family anyway.
He was now purely in the mindset of watching a show.
Only then did Ning Tian slowly crawl down from the carriage, stretch lazily, and swagger behind his dad into the council hall.
Inside the hall. New chapters come out on g.com first.
They took their seats according to host and guest.
Ning Fengzhi sat in the premier seat on the left, and Chen Xin directly sat imposingly beside him, closing his eyes to rest his mind.
Ning Tian unceremoniously picked the softest chair to slump into, and even directed the maid beside him to pour him tea.
The eighteen carriages of betrothal gifts were also directly carried by the guards of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into the courtyard outside the main hall.
The Fire Family Patriarch sat on the right, staring fixedly at the flippant Ning Tian, his teeth grinding audibly.
This brat’s profligate appearance made him a complete good-for-nothing!
No matter how many betrothal gifts were smashed, if Huo Wu married over, her life would be ruined!
No, absolutely not agree!
Meanwhile, on the west side of the Elemental Valley, it was the exclusive Cultivation ground of the Huo Family.
On the huge open-air plaza, heat waves rolled.
Huo Wu had just finished a round of high-intensity Spirit Ability training.
She was wearing an extremely tight-fitting red combat leather outfit.
This specially made clothing was soaked with sweat, tightly fitting against her body.
Her slender and firm thighs, waist without an ounce of excess flesh, and the exaggerated curves wrapped by the leather outfit on her chest that seemed ready to burst out at any time displayed a wild and fatal attraction under the sunlight.
Huo Wu picked up a towel, wiped her sweat casually, grabbed the water cup on the table, and gulped down a large mouthful.
“Young Miss! Bad news, Young Miss!”
A maid ran in from outside in a panic, panting so hard that she even lost one of her shoes while running.
“What is the matter that has you so panicked? Has the sky fallen?”
Huo Wu put down the water cup and frowned her delicate eyebrows.
“People from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have come! They brought a dozen large carriages, pulling all betrothal gifts, filling the outer courtyard!”
The maid stamped her feet in anxiety.
Huo Wu’s action of wiping sweat paused in mid-air.
“They really came to propose marriage? Who are they looking for?”
Huo Wu’s voice raised by an octave.
“Who else could it be!”
The maid said with a crying tone, “In this generation of the Elemental Valley, you and the Eldest Young Miss of the Water Family are the most outstanding.”
“That Eldest Young Miss of the Water Family is simply an ice block, and she even proclaimed that she won’t talk about romance unless she becomes a Titled Douluo; whoever goes to propose marriage will be frozen to death.”
“The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School made such a big fuss. Who else could it be if not for you!”
“Bang!”
The porcelain cup in Huo Wu’s hand was instantly crushed into pieces.
Huo Wu’s chest heaved violently, and a scorching crimson flame directly rose around her body.
“What utter nonsense!”
Huo Wu directly cursed and kicked the solid wood table in front of her over with one kick.
“That son of Ning Fengzhi—who in the entire Douluo Continent doesn’t know he’s a waste who can’t even add a spirit ring? What kind of thing is he, daring to bring betrothal gifts to propose marriage to my Huo Family?”
Huo Wu became angrier the more she thought about it.
What kind of person was Huo Wu?
She was a proud daughter of heaven whose Innate Fire Shadow Spirit mutated, and she was determined to achieve a Titled Douluo in the future!
Now she was actually being targeted by a waste stuck at rank nine for a lifetime!
“Where is my dad?”
Huo Wu asked through gritted teeth.
“The Clan Chief and the lords are entertaining them in the main hall.”
The maid replied, shrinking her neck.
“Entertaining? I think they just took a fancy to that little bit of broken money!”
Huo Wu was furious.
She didn’t even bother to change her combat suit and strode directly towards the direction of the council hall.
“Young Miss! Where are you going!”
“Where am I going? Where else could I go, to flip their tables!”
