Chapter 344: Son Possession Activated: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Admits Defeat

Lan Xue was suddenly bewildered, her mind full of question marks.

That Sword Douluo admitted to the assassination attempt so readily made her feel a bit strange, but she only understood after hearing later that Bone Douluo had been killed; after she had come knocking on their door, this matter could not be hidden, because Bone Douluo's soul bone was still in their hands, which was the best evidence.

Wait, Bone Douluo is dead? A flash of inspiration struck Lan Xue, and she grasped the key point.

Who did it? Could it be my son? That can't be right; I know my son has completely inherited my strengths, such as his handsome appearance, his cleverness and intelligence, his powerful strength... (one million words omitted here).

But to say he could kill a Super Douluo right now, wouldn't that be a bit too exaggerated?

However, it doesn't seem absolutely impossible; her son has at least three Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings on him, and when they parted ways before, it was to obtain his seventh spirit ring to activate his martial soul avatar, so if this one is also a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring...

Then her son would have four Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and five Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bones.

His martial soul is also a god-level martial soul, and he possesses peerless halberd techniques; being able to leap two realms to kill an enemy is indeed hopeful.

Lan Xue's brain was flooded at this moment, and her original aggressive momentum instantly turned into confusion.

She realized she might have caused trouble; she shouldn't have come here. If Bone Douluo really died, it could only have been done by her son.

Originally, her purpose was to seek justice for her son. The Crown Prince of the Gu Lei Kingdom had suffered an interception by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for no reason, was severely injured, and had escaped back to his country on the verge of death. No matter how you look at it, this matter was the fault of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As a Title Douluo, there was no problem with her standing up for her son.

But once Bone Douluo was dead, the situation was completely different. It wasn't that the one in the wrong became Nan Feihuang—after all, it was still the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that struck first, and Feihuang only counterattacked—the problem was the focus of attention.

With such a major event happening, who would still care about who was right or wrong? Everyone would only pay attention to one thing: that Nan Feihuang could actually kill Bone Douluo!

Feihuang being a Spirit Saint at sixteen was already exaggerated enough; if he could also kill a Super Douluo while being a Spirit Saint, no faction would ever let him grow again, especially the Spirit Hall.

The tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Originally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would definitely have kept the funeral secret and hidden the news of Gu Rong's death. They could not let the outside world know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength had been greatly reduced, as it would affect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's status in the world of Spirit Masters. But now, with Lan Xue making such a scene, this secret had to be announced even if they didn't want to.

For instance, the Three Education Committee Members of Heaven Dou who had just arrived, the Heaven Dou Marshal, and the Snake Spear Douluo and others observing from the shadows were all shocked upon hearing this news.

Their thoughts were exactly the same as Lan Xue's.

Bone Douluo is actually dead! Who did it? Could it be Nan Feihuang?

Everyone's gaze turned in unison toward Lan Xue in the sky.

Lan Xue immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "What to do, what to do? It's over, I'm going to get my son killed. I have to think of a way. Should I kill everyone here? Hide the truth? No, no, the three committee members are good people; they took good care of my son in the past. I cannot be ungrateful, otherwise Feihuang will blame me for killing his teachers. Since that's the case, watch my ultimate move: Son Possession!"

Lan Xue knew her brain had to be turned on today. The best method was to project herself into Nan Feihuang. The so-called "Son Possession" meant considering what her son would have her do if he were here right now. "Right, I'll just take the blame, won't I? Anyway, no one should have seen how Bone Douluo died at the time, and the only eyewitness is still my family's Heaven Spirit Horse!" Lan Xue had a flash of inspiration and said proudly to Sword Douluo, "Hmph, Bone Douluo deserved to die. He dared to ambush my son. If I hadn't been secretly protecting Feihuang, he would have been harmed by that old bone. Gu Rong dying at my hands is heaven-sent retribution, but do you think this matter can just end like this?"

"So it really was you who killed the old bone," Sword Douluo said angrily. He had been wondering who the culprit was and had indeed thought of Nan Feihuang, but Nan Feihuang's level was too low, which made him unable to be certain. Now that Lan Xue admitted it herself, everything made sense. "No wonder I felt powerful Ice and Fire Power on the old bone's corpse, exactly the same as the burning Ice Phoenix you used against me back then."

Son, you're amazing! Lan Xue was overjoyed. She hadn't expected her son to be so smart, leaving behind such good evidence that could help clear his name while also letting her take the blame for him.

The "burning Ice Phoenix" technique was known to the world as Lan Xue's unique skill, first used during the battle with Sword Douluo in the valley. It wasn't that others couldn't possibly learn it, but that even if an ordinary person learned it, it would be difficult to kill Bone Douluo with this move. Only Lan Xue herself could do it. She carried this black pot with joy.

"So it was Lan Xue who did it." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That's what I thought; no matter how much of a genius Nan Feihuang is, it's impossible for him to kill a Super Douluo right now.

"Then what else do you want?" Chen Xin was already furious.

This woman had crippled him, killed the old bone, and butchered four of their sect's Spirit Douluos. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already suffered all the losses; how could she still be so relentless?

"Uncle Sword, please calm your anger first." Ning Fengzhi hurriedly spoke up. He didn't know why, but this Profound Ice Douluo seemed to have suddenly grown ears again and was willing to listen to people. This was a good opportunity to calm the conflict; they absolutely could not keep fighting, otherwise the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might be gone today.

"Your Excellency Profound Ice, this incident was the fault of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Fengzhi apologizes to you here, but at the time we only wanted to invite your son to be a guest at our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to resolve the rift from your battle with Uncle Sword in the valley that day; we had absolutely no intention of harming him. Perhaps Uncle Bone acted too aggressively, and his death at your hands was not your fault. Therefore, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to swallow this bitter fruit. Fengzhi swears that from now on, we will never trouble the Gu Lei Kingdom because of this matter, and we will never lay a hand on your country's Crown Prince again!"

Ning Fengzhi spoke very timidly, but he had no choice. With two Title Douluos in the family, one dead and one crippled, if Sword Douluo kept fighting, his secrets would also be exposed.

At that time, even if Lan Xue were willing to let them go, other factions would surely kick them while they were down once they found out.

Especially the Lower Four Sects; they had been coveting the throne of the Upper Three Sects all along.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with its two Douluos, was the true Upper Three Sects. If it were an auxiliary sect without a single Title Douluo, it would be a piece of cake.

For example, the Nine Heart Begonia; without protection, it would be coveted wherever it went.

"If apologies were useful, what would we need Title Douluos for?" Lan Xue said coldly. Now that she had the upper hand, how could she easily retreat?

In the "Son Possession" state, her wisdom had also risen significantly. Sword Douluo's secret—others might not know it, but as the culprit, how could she not be clear? She understood very well that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect dared not fight her now, and even more so, could not afford to.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi's bottom line was pitifully low right now. He only hoped Lan Xue would leave quickly; he hadn't even considered the matter of revenge.

After all, as a sect master, the survival of the sect was Ning Fengzhi's top priority, far above personal vendettas.

Now that she had the advantage in both power and reason, if she didn't take advantage of the situation to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect bleed heavily, would it be worth her son's injuries? (End of chapter)
