บท 3693: Chapter 3939
Ning Fengzhi also knew it was hard for them to believe, but that was the fact...
He immediately looked at Xue Qinghe, "I am not joking, right, Qinghe?"
Xue Qinghe also understood the former's meaning and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, everything the teacher said is true. Xu Sheng joined the Martial Soul Hall and visited the royal household, becoming... quite a good friend with me."
"I can assure you, he has no hostility towards the royal household, and even towards the upper three families, provided, of course, that you do not provoke him!"
Having received an affirmative reply, the thoughts of these Hao Tian Sect Elders also wavered a bit...
"If that's the case, canceling the assassination plan is not out of the question!"
With the relationship between Crown Prince and Xu Sheng, perhaps the latter indeed would not become an obstacle for the upper three families!
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi knew he had achieved his goal...
"It appears that the Elders also know it's better to have one more friend in the future than an enemy!"
"Then when Tang Sect Master returns, I hope you can advise him!"
...
The next day!!
Tang Xiao returned to the Hao Tian Sect...
Seeing the Hao Tian Sect Elders looking as if facing a great enemy, he couldn't help but ask, "Elders, what's happened? Why do you all look so troubled?"
Had something major happened just during the few days he had been away from the sect?
Yet, when he had entered the Hao Tian Sect, he hadn't sensed anything unusual from the disciples!
One of the Elders, having come to his senses, explained, "Sect Master, during the days you were away, Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Sect Master Yu of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, and even the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire came in person!"
Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes and muttered, "It seems something major has indeed happened, otherwise, why would the leaders of the upper three families and the royals suddenly visit our Hao Tian Sect!"
"Elders, are Sect Master Ning and the others still in the Hao Tian Sect?"
The former shook his head, rejecting, "Originally, Sect Master Ning and others intended to wait until your return, but for some reason, they suddenly decided to leave this morning!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao felt somewhat headache and, covering his forehead, said, "Elders, I am a bit confused now, please explain the ins and outs of what happened again in detail."
The Elders didn't waste words and quickly elaborated on the incidents of the previous day...
After listening, Tang Xiao propped up his chin, pondering, "I didn't expect even Sect Master Yu to agree to cancel the assassination plan against Xu Sheng, even the Crown Prince is friends with him!"
Although he had never met Xue Qinghe personally, he knew that not only was he the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, but he was also Ning Fengzhi's disciple!
His words should be reliable!
Another Elder, interjecting, asked, "Sect Master, what should we do next, should we continue with the assassination plan?"
Tang Xiao gave a bitter smile, "The assassination plan? We and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect have already sent so many disciples to assassinate Xu Sheng, and what was the result?"
The former lowered his head, "Almost a total annihilation, not a single one managed to come out of Martial Soul City alive!"
They underestimated the protection Martial Soul Hall provided for Xu Sheng, otherwise, they wouldn't have sent those disciples!
Tang Xiao nodded, "Exactly, but even if those disciples really had approached Xu Sheng and attempted to strike him, what do you think the chances were?"
The former hesitated, and after about ten seconds, replied somewhat unconfidently, "Well... he could be careless at times, right?"
Tang Xiao sighed, "You and I both know... there was no chance at all!"
"That Xu Sheng, possessing Innate Soul Power level ninety, even if he can't fully control the power he possesses, would find it effortless to crush the disciples of the Hao Tian Sect!"
"Rather than sending these disciples to their deaths, it's better to follow the intentions of Sect Master Ning and the others and cancel the assassination plan on Xu Sheng."
"Perhaps this could even help ease relations with the Martial Soul Hall!"
He was certain, if it were not for the fact that under Pope Bibi Dong, Ghost Charm and Yue Guan were the only two Title Douluo available!
Otherwise, based on this assassination attempt, they would have already taken action against the upper three families!
The elders, hearing this, felt there was some truth to it...
As long as Xu Sheng was still unharmed, there was still a chance to mend things with the Martial Soul Hall!
"Sect Master, let's do it this way. Cancel the plan to assassinate Xu Sheng!"
"Um, for Xu Sheng to grow, he would need at least a few years. That's enough time for us to figure out whether he bears any hostility towards the upper three families!"
"At worst, there's still the relationship with the Crown Prince to consider. When the time comes, let him mediate, and the problem should be minimized!"
Tang Xiao glanced at them, "It seems the elders and I are of one mind. None of us wants to completely fall out with the Martial Soul Hall!"
"Then, let's immediately have all the disciples involved in the assassination return to the Hao Tian Clan!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Tang Xiao seemed to remember something else and quickly added, "Additionally… the mental resilience of our disciples definitely needs some improvement."
"During this trip to the heart of the Aquipeia Forest, hardly a few dared to fight alone, truly a disgrace to our Hao Tian Clan!"
As he spoke, the faces of the elders darkened…
That was the core area of the Aquipeia Forest, where even a Title Douluo might perish!
Did he really expect disciples, who hadn't even reached the level of a Soul Emperor or Soul Sage, to hunt alone?
That's not a question of mental resilience, that's insanity!
"Sect Master, I think the mental strength of these disciples is fine, it's you who has a problem!"
After retorting, the elders didn't linger and promptly turned to leave…
Confused, Tang Xiao began to doubt himself…
"Did I say something wrong? Why do I feel like the elders don't quite agree with my suggestion?"
"And what could possibly be wrong with me??"
…
Martial Soul City!
Watching the endless stream of Civilian Soul Masters below…
Yue Guan frowned and said, "Ghost Charm, did you notice?"
Beside him, Ghost Charm nodded slightly, "Hmm!"
"The disciples from the upper three families who have been lurking among these civilians all seemed to have left at the same time!"
Yue Guan took a deep breath, "Could it be that the upper three families realized they couldn't provoke the Martial Soul Hall and thus gave up on the plan to assassinate Xu Sheng?"
"If that's the case, they're quite tactful."
However, Ghost Charm shook his head, "I think it's because they sent so many disciples who not only failed but were also compromised, they must have realized that the assassination was doomed to fail."
"That's why they called all the disciples back."
Yue Guan didn't dwell further, "Whatever the reason, it's good that the people from the upper three families have withdrawn their disciples, especially since Martial Soul City has been locked down for so long!"
"If it were to continue, it could damage their prestige, and that's not what Your Holiness wanted to see!"
