Chapter 206 The Path to Death
Tang San followed Ning Fengzhi, a fiery glint in his eyes as he looked at the meticulously arranged herb layout within the Nine Heart Begonia Sect.
With his discerning eye, he could naturally see the value of these things.
If he could get his hands on these herbs, his cultivation would definitely improve by several levels.
"To be able to squander so many herbs like this, the Nine Heart Begonia Sect is probably a place that exploits the people."
Tang San looked at the herbs and said with a hint of bitterness.
"That's not quite right. It's just that I've heard that after the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul evolved, it possesses an extremely terrifying vitality that can nourish herbs and promote their growth."
"This must be how these herbs were obtained, right?"
Ning Fengzhi spoke gently, making it impossible for anyone to detect the slight bitterness in his heart.
Ye Lengleng's Nine Heart Begonia evolved into the Nine Heart Begonia Queen, directly becoming a martial soul with the ultimate life attribute.
It can not only treat but also nourish herbs, and it resonates with herbs like the golden ancient tree.
Every now and then, Ye Lengleng would come and nourish these herbs.
At the same time, these herbs will also contribute some soul power to Ye Lingleng.
Over time, the news that the Nine-Heart Begonia Emperor Martial Soul could accelerate the growth of herbs spread.
Although not entirely accurate, it is indeed one of the characteristics of the Nine-Heart Begonia Emperor.
"This... there really is such a wondrous martial spirit in the world?"
Tang San was shocked.
If there were such a person in his Tang Sect, wouldn't they be able to take off?
"Hmph, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is no less capable than them. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has a natural treasure-hunting function. Many of the metals you selected before were found by us using this treasure-hunting function."
Ning Rongrong was quite dissatisfied with Tang San's praise of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, and she hugged his arm and said coquettishly.
"Yes, yes, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support martial soul in the world, okay?!"
Tang San was also helpless.
Although he didn't object to getting engaged to Ning Rongrong, and Ning Rongrong was quite cute, her temper was indeed a bit of a problem.
However, it suits his taste.
Or rather, it suits the tastes of the Tang Clan.
Moreover, Ning Rongrong was quite careful in her interactions with Tang San, her only fiancé who could prevent her from being punished further.
Ning Fengzhi had already told her that if Tang San also gave up on her, then she would have no choice but to choose Feng Xiaotian, who was ten years older than her.
"That's more like it. But Third Brother, do you like these herbs? I'll ask Dad to buy them all for you when we get back."
Ning Rongrong said arrogantly, as if money wasn't money.
As she spoke, she pulled Tang San to a herb placed in a flowerpot and raised her hand to pull it out.
"Rongrong!"
Suddenly, just as Ning Rongrong's fingers were about to touch the herbs, Chen Xin's figure flashed and appeared beside Ning Rongrong, pulling the two of them back.
At that very moment, a blade of light shot out from the shadows beneath the flowerpot, slicing straight across the spot where Tang San and Ning Rongrong had been standing.
The moment Tang San's body was pulled, he activated his Purple Demon Eyes and clearly saw what was happening.
Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes opened in the shadows, and then a person burst out of the shadows and slashed at the spot where the two had been standing without any hesitation.
If Chen Xin hadn't reacted quickly, he and Ning Rongrong might have been injured.
"Wasn't your action a bit too ruthless?"
After bringing the two back to Ning Fengzhi's side, Chen Xin turned to the shadowy soldier and said with some annoyance.
After all, they are just two children.
However, the shadowy soldier had no intelligence; his task was to guard these herbs and prevent anyone from getting close.
It can also automatically match sufficiently powerful Shadow Soldiers based on the threat level.
The shadowy soldiers who attacked Tang San and the others were only at the Soul Venerable level; otherwise, Chen Xin wouldn't have been able to react in time.
"No response!?"
Chen Xin frowned slightly as he looked at the dazed, shadowy soldier.
However, he was unwilling to act rashly, since it was Gu Rong's territory and it would be disrespectful to Gu Rong if he made a move.
"It looks like a puppet."
Tang San couldn't help but speak up when he saw this scene.
At the same time, he continuously activated the Purple Demon Eye in an attempt to see through the shadowy soldiers.
He could only sense darkness and fear emanating from the shadowy soldier; it was clear at a glance that he was an extremely evil being.
The Nine Hearts Begonia Sect actually used such an evil being as a puppet guard; they're probably not good people either.
Once he establishes the Tang Clan, he will definitely go and wipe out the entire Nine Hearts Begonia Sect.
They were not after the herbs; rather, they were already courting death.
"puppet----?"
Just as the group was studying the shadowy soldiers, a squad walked over from the side.
The visitors were none other than Feng Xiaotian, one of Ning Rongrong's previous betrothal candidates, along with Huo Wu and her brother, and elites from various elemental academies.
However, this time they did not come with the academy, but with their elders.
The elders at home are chatting together, and since they have nothing else to do, they've come out to stroll around and see this sect that dares to go to war with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"You guys be careful. This thing is called the Shadow Legion. It's a kind of soul skill puppet. Not only can it not be killed, but it also increases in strength along with the opponent's strength. I heard that there are already Soul Douluo-level beings among them."
You'd better stay away from him, otherwise he'll automatically summon a stronger being when he determines that he's not strong enough to deal with you.
Huo Wu was a little unhappy because Feng Xiaotian was following her around. After all, Feng Xiaotian was too obsequious, which made her feel itchy all over.
But being kind-hearted, she couldn't help but speak up to explain when she saw Tang San and the others.
After all, Ning Fengzhi's condition was indeed not good; he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness.
Chen Xin also had white hair and was raising two children.
What if something goes wrong?
This shadowy legion has no conscience whatsoever; quite a few have had their limbs severed and been captured these past few days for their unclean hands and feet.
"Oh, there are such amazing soul skills?"
Ning Fengzhi turned to look at the group, a knowing glint in his eyes. He clearly already knew which families these people belonged to.
A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
It has to be said that Tang San's year in the Elite Tournament was filled with a group of exceptionally talented elites.
Whether it's Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, or Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er, these individuals are all capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities in any faction.
Unfortunately, it seems that his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been plagued by bad luck. Over the years, he hasn't produced a single outstanding genius. The only one he did produce was driven away by Ning Rongrong. Now that Tang San has finally arrived, he is not going to let go of him.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Ning!"
Although Huo Wu didn't know Ning Fengzhi, some of the others did. After Feng Xiaotian's introduction, the group of friends quickly greeted Ning Fengzhi.
"It's alright, I should thank you. If you hadn't reminded us, we might have embarrassed ourselves."
Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
"It's alright, Sect Leader Ning, please continue your tour. There are quite a few people visiting the Nine Heart Begonia Sect this time, so they simply didn't set up any reception area. You can find the main hall by following the signs."
Feng Xiaotian looked at Ning Fengzhi as if he were looking at some kind of monstrous beast, and hurriedly pulled Huo Wu to the side.
As time passed, the entire Nine Hearts Begonia Sect became brightly lit.
The leaders of various forces gathered in the huge square of the Nine Hearts Begonia Sect.
Various delicacies and rare dishes were laid out one by one.
To pull off this stunt, the Nine Heart Begonia Sect had used almost one-tenth of the money it had earned from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect last time.
