Chapter 78: Xue Xing's Courage Was Given by Ning Fengzhi

Ning Fengzhi was very confident, because he believed in the intelligence obtained by his sect.

First, when his people left the academy, every important person in Lingxu's family was present, and Lingxu had also just arrived in Heaven Dou City an hour ago.

According to the layout inside, there were a total of ten boxes of Gold Soul Coins, placed in eight separate locations, and the concealment was also done very well.

If one searched carefully, perhaps two or three locations could be found within this hour, but it was absolutely impossible to find all eight locations within one hour.

In order for the scheme to succeed, he had started to invite Prince Xue Xing the moment Lingxu entered Heaven Dou City.

What he wanted was to catch them red-handed, to find the items right under the eyes of the Ling family.

"Qualifications? In my Heaven Dou City, I, Xue Xing, am the qualification!" Prince Xue Xing said.

As soon as the words fell, Dugu Bo, who was by his side, stepped forward, and a powerful aura surged over; subsequently, the Sword Douluo by Ning Fengzhi's side also cooperated by stepping forward.

They wanted to use their aura to suppress others right from the start, and the spirit rings on the two of them lit up one by one.

The Heaven Dou Empire took the lead, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect provided support.

The pressure from the aura released by the two was not great, but it was already at the level of a peak Soul Elder approaching a Soul Ancestor.

If it were anyone else, they would more or less be suppressed by this aura.

The reason why there was only such a small amount of pressure was mainly because Lingxu and Qian Renxue were truly too young.

And at this moment, Lingxu and Qian Renxue directly channeled their inner actors, putting on a pained expression.

"Just you lot, and you want to stop us?" Prince Xue Xing said with a look of disdain.

Just as his voice fell, three figures landed and arrived beside Lingxu and Qian Renxue.

The people who arrived were none other than Ling Bufan, the Pufferfish Douluo, and the Snake Lance Douluo.

The three released their martial souls and spirit rings, and their aura instantly surpassed those opposite them.

Sword Douluo was strong, but Dugu Bo was currently not yet at level ninety.

Although the Pufferfish Douluo and the Snake Lance Douluo were average, they were now practicing the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, which had also improved their comprehensive abilities quite a bit.

Added to Ling Bufan, who did not lose to an average Title Douluo to begin with, they were already able to crush them in terms of aura.

And Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo were also in a state of refusing to admit defeat.

Ling Bufan said: "Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, you two are also famous seniors in the Spirit Master world; bullying juniors like this doesn't seem very appropriate, does it?"

"If you have an issue, come at us!" Ling Bufan said.

Having executed missions for many years, often walking on the edge of life and death, once Ling Bufan became serious, his aura was much more powerful than Dugu Bo, who had four levels of soul power higher than him.

Dugu Bo was a ruthless person, but in reality, he had not experienced as much as Ling Bufan.

"You?" Prince Xue Xing saw that there were two more Title Douluo behind Ling Bufan, and he immediately had the intention of backing down.

Xue Xing glanced at Ning Fengzhi beside him and said: "Sect Master Ning, what do you think of this?"

After all, Ling Bufan was a Hall Master of a Spirit Hall branch, and his status was not inferior to his own, so if they were to act, he still needed Ning Fengzhi's support.

Moreover, there were two Title Douluo behind them; if things went wrong, it would be a great battle.

Ning Fengzhi said: "Prince, rest assured, they definitely have something fishy going on; you must continue the search, I support you one hundred percent."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi say this, Prince Xue Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Good, with you, Sect Master Ning, helping with all your might, then I have no more concerns. It's just a pity that we dispersed our forces, and the Bone Douluo did not come here."

"It's fine, with my support, are you afraid of them? Prince, just go ahead and perform your official duties. As long as we find the evidence, even if we take this to Wuhun City, they won't be able to do anything to us," Ning Fengzhi said calmly.

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had said as much, and that Great Emperor Xueye had also told him to investigate this Ling Bufan family, he had even less reason to hesitate.

At this moment, Prince Xue Xing was full of confidence.

"Ling Bufan, we are acting under the decree of His Majesty, suspecting that you are involved in the case of the lost national treasury from a year ago, and have come specifically to search. I ask that you do not obstruct us, otherwise..."

Ling Bufan sneered: "Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. You must know that this is Heaven Dou City, not Wuhun City," Prince Xue Xing said righteously.

"You search just because you suspect? If you don't find anything, what then?" Ling Bufan said.

A search was naturally going to happen, but it couldn't be for nothing. Lingxu had taken three million Gold Soul Coins for nothing; since they had plenty of money, then he would just ask for more.

Therefore, Ling Bufan was also proceeding according to Lingxu's wishes.

"Also, how do you intend to search, and how will you compensate us for the losses caused?"

"Let's set the terms first, then act. We are upright and fear no shadows; it's not that we won't let you search."

"But you come to search directly without any evidence like this; do you really think that I, this Red Bishop of the Spirit Hall and Hall Master of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall branch, do not exist?"

With this final shout, Ling Bufan's aura was sharp and fierce; the killing intent in that one glance scared Xue Xing into retreating two or three steps. It was only because a Soul Saint-level subordinate behind him pushed him that he didn't fall down from fright.

By this point, Prince Xue Xing had to bite the bullet and go through with it.

If it were an ordinary person, how could it be so troublesome?

It just so happened that this Ling Bufan was a Spirit Hall branch Hall Master and also a Soul Douluo of over level eighty.

"Fine, we will compensate for all damages!"

"But the premise is that you are clean!"

Ling Bufan shook his head and said: "General compensation is not enough. I will calculate the losses after it's over. Additionally, you must apologize—publicly apologize in the name of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"If you can't do that, then don't search. My hands are itching anyway; if you want to fight, we can do it now."

Prince Xue Xing was helpless, but Ning Fengzhi beside him took the initiative to transmit his voice to him, telling him to agree.

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi was so confident, he also chose to believe him.

"Fine, I agree, but you had better hope we don't find anything."

"Everyone, dig three feet into the ground for me, or even thirty feet, you must search carefully," Prince Xue Xing said directly.

Ling Bufan smiled and said: "Good, then search away. My time is limited; I'll give you one hour."

"That's enough!" Ning Fengzhi said confidently.

Ling Bufan did not stop them, and the next instant, at least a hundred people flooded in.

Lingxu said: "Dad, let's stand at the four corners separately and supervise."

"Good!" Ling Bufan nodded and said.

Lingxu and Qian Renxue were together, while Ling Bufan, Ci Xue, and the Serpent Spear Douluo were each in the other three directions.

The Mental Power of these few people was extremely strong, and everything inside was monitored clearly.

This move was also to guard against someone hiding that chest of Gold Soul Coins in a Soul Guidance Device, finding a random pit, digging it out, and throwing the chest inside; wouldn't that be evidence?

To avoid any accidents, this move by Lingxu completely blocked off another strategy of Ning Fengzhi.

Right in the front courtyard, several people directly found a place and started digging.

The people sent were also very clever; they would not go directly to the burial site, but instead start digging not far from it, then gradually expand to naturally dig it out.

Looking again at that confident appearance of Ning Fengzhi, it was truly asking for a beating; did he think Ling Bufan's position as a branch hall master of the Spirit Hall was for nothing?

When Ling Bufan was up on the high roof, he had already sent a message, and the Spirit Masters and knights of the Spirit Hall would arrive before long.

Now they only had to wait for them to finish searching, and then it would be the moment for Lingxu to counterattack.
