The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, once the second most powerful sect in the world, is known for its...

Luxury!

Inhumane luxury!

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's Mingde Hall, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's Heavenly Granary, is one of the two super-rich treasures of the Tang Sect Continent, rich enough to rival a nation!

The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower is located within the Tianhun Empire. The sect rebuilt a city on the site of the old Seven Treasures City, which was destroyed by the Soul Temple ten thousand years ago, naming it Nine Treasures City. It is adjacent to the capital, Tiantou City.

The surroundings of Nine Treasures City are like a lustrous paradise, with exotic flowers and rare herbs spread everywhere. In the bright morning sunlight, they reflect a rainbow of colors, exuding a soothing fragrance that intoxicates the senses.

From a distance, Nine Treasures City appears as a collection of white jade palaces, elegant and exquisite, standing amidst the city, swallowing and emitting misty light, resembling a fairyland.

In the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's conference hall, The jade floor shone with a warm glow, and the walls were adorned with dragons reaching for the clouds and phoenixes spreading their wings. In this majestic and beautiful hall, a graceful figure sat on the throne symbolizing the sect leader's authority, her cold voice echoing through the hall.

"Well... you really are doing great! This is the how many batches of rare metals lost this year? I repeatedly told you to send people to guard them strictly, and then what? Now, I want an explanation!"

The people below shivered. They were the high-ranking officials of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, with cultivation levels at least reaching Soul Saint, yet they still trembled in fear before the sect leader, who was an auxiliary soul master.

A red-haired Soul Douluo, exuding a scorching aura, mustered the courage to step forward and bowed. "Sect... Sect Leader, it's not that we are incompetent. The bandits are simply too powerful. I suspect they might come from... the Main Body Sect!"

"The Main Body Sect again."

The woman frowned, her jade hand tapping the armrest of the throne. The hall echoed with the crisp sound.

The Main Body Sect and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, both major sects within the Tianhun Empire, have always been competitors. A century ago, when the Main Body Sect's two leaders wreaked havoc on the continent, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's Protector Douluo Jianmu Douluo Zhou Jiren stepped forward to confront one of them, Poison Unkillable. This indirectly led to the Dragon God Douluo Muen severely injuring and killing the Main Body Sect's leader, Poison Must Die.

Since then, the Main Body Sect has been at odds with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, causing numerous conflicts, with the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower losing more often than winning.

After a moment of contemplation, the sect leader slowly spoke.

"The Sun Moon Empire is ambitious and will certainly restart the continental war within twenty years. Those rare metals were brought back by Feng Yu and the sect's direct disciples from the Sun Moon Empire, using the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower's soul power to sift through the sand and smuggle them at a low price. They are crucial for our future development.

Wu Yan, I will have Xie Qin assign you half of the Shadow Guard. You must protect every batch of rare metals!"

"I will not fail you, Sect Leader!"

The red-haired Soul Douluo Wu Yan bowed in acceptance.

"Next matter." The sect leader rubbed her temples, which were aching. "The Tianhun Empire's royal family has recently canceled some of its long-standing collaborations with the sect and turned to the Main Body Sect..."

"Creak-"

The jade doors were suddenly pushed open from the outside. The sect leader, who was in a particularly foul mood, instinctively scolded, "I am discussing important matters with the elders. Who is so disrespectful to..."

At the sight of the newcomers, the sect leader's words abruptly stopped, her gaze fixed on the approaching man and two women.

The woman on the left had a slender and graceful figure, with long silver-gold hair cascading to her waist. Her eyes were a deep blue like a lake, and her features were exquisitely delicate, as if carved from jade, with no flaws, perfectly balanced in beauty, devoid of any coquettishness or allure.

The woman on the right had red hair and red eyes, dressed in a tight red outfit. Her striking appearance and curvaceous figure complemented each other, giving her a unique aura, like a wild horse on the grassland, with a touch of feminine charm. Men couldn't help but be captivated by her.

Both women were outstanding, but the man in the middle was even more remarkable, handsome and graceful, radiating confidence and poise. He looked gentle and refined, yet every move he made exuded a sense of calm and ease, as if the world was in his grasp.

All three were exceptional individuals!

"Mother/Sect Leader, we're back."

Sunlight filtered through the door and fell on their clothes, and they spoke the first words of a wanderer returning home, gazing at the beautiful and noble figure before them.

A gentle smile, rare in recent years, appeared on the sect leader's lips, but she couldn't resist teasing them, "A three-day journey took you seven days. Did you have fun out there and finally decide to come home?"

The three of them smiled without a word, for they had indeed taken a detour to enjoy themselves. Looking at the beautiful and long-missed face on the throne, the two women's eyes gradually turned red.

The sect leader of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Ning Fengya.

She was beautiful, beautiful to the bone.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng, already teenage beauties admired by boys at Shrek Academy's Outer Court, still lacked the elegance and poise that came with age compared to Ning Fengya. Her beauty was a blend of appearance, experience, confidence, and knowledge, refined over time. Time does not diminish beauty, and Ling Bai admitted that when she agreed to return to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower with Ning Fengya, apart from finding a protector in her early days after crossing over, it was partly because Ning Fengya was incredibly beautiful. Seeing this, the high-ranking officials of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower exchanged glances and quickly understood the situation. The seasoned ones quietly moved towards the door, pulling Wu Yan, who was tearing up over his daughter Wu Feng, along with them, leaving the conference hall to Ning Fengya and the sect's three future stars.

Step by step, they moved...

Finally!

The high-ranking officials left the hall!

Hehe, the sect leader didn't scold me today!

What a relief!

After staring at the three for a while, Ning Fengya nodded lightly, half with satisfaction and

half with tenderness, "Not bad, you've grown up."

Hearing this, Ning Tian and Wu Feng felt an urge to burst into tears. As pampered daughters, they left home and came to Shrek Academy, a place teeming with talented individuals. Initially, they were full of confidence and ready to make a name for themselves, but they gradually realized how vast the world was and how many formidable opponents there were. After experiencing the pain of failure and rising again, their faces now bore a touch of determination and composure, no longer those of innocent girls.

"Shrek Academy's teaching methods may be old-fashioned, but there is a reason the sect has sent students there for centuries: the abundance of geniuses. Pressure can give you motivation, wash away the arrogance of a major sect, and help you seek progress with your

feet on the ground.

The Shadow Guard reported that Xiao Bai skipped the Outer Court and directly entered the Inner Academy, breaking the record for the youngest Inner Academy student at Shrek Academy. She then passed the Seven Monsters Challenge and was selected as one of the Seven Monsters, representing the academy in the next Continental High-Level Soul Master

Academy Duels.

You have brought glory to the sect, and the sect will not let you down. Before the start of the semester, the World Treasury's Secret Techniques Area will be open to you again, and you can

choose a secret technique you like."

"Thank you, Sect Leader."

"Call me Aunt Ya." Ning Fengya's displeasure showed, and she feigned anger, "I watched you grow up from a

young age. You should even call me mother."

"... Aunt Ya."

Ling Bai pretended not to hear the last part.

"Little Master Ling doesn't want to call me Mom?"

This small trick couldn't escape the sect leader's notice. Ning Fengya glanced at Ning Tian and Ling Bai, huffed lightly, and smiled, "Never mind, it will happen eventually."

A bead of sweat seemed to trickle down Ling Bai's forehead. Despite her young age, Ning Fengya's skills and determination far surpassed those of the Soul Master Department Head Yan Shaozhe. She knew how to remain calm and composed, and how to use various methods to highlight her advantages, such as showing weakness and arousing protective instincts in

men.

Ling Bai had once secretly complained that even if Ning Fengya married three times, it wouldn't be Du Weilun's turn, not out of disdain for him. Ning Fengya's casual words years ago had made Du Weilun think of her for twenty years and even took extra care of Ning Tian

when she entered the academy. The gap between them was too wide. If Ning Fengya were the head of the Soul Power Department, Zhou Yi and his ilk would likely have been disgraced and reduced to begging on the streets long ago.

Suddenly, Ling Bai felt the temperature beside her rise sharply. Yes, Ning Fengya's hint was

very successful, and the simple-minded Wu Feng had broken down.

She glared at Ling Bai, communicating fiercely with her eyes.

Feng: You dare to respond! I'll scratch you to death!

Bai: You only know how to be tough with me? Show some backbone and confront the sect

leader directly.

Feng: No way, do you think I'm stupid?

Bai: 6.

Ling Bai and Wu Feng stared at each other for only three seconds, but it felt like they had been

insulting each other for half a century.

"You..."

As Ning Fengya began to speak, the jade doors were gently knocked, and she asked, "What is

it?"

"Sect Leader, the Main Body Sect's Chief Elder and his disciples are here to visit."

The voice of Wu Feng's father, the Red Dragon Soul Douluo Wu Yan, came from outside the

door.

"The Main Body Sect's Chief Elder..."

The peaceful atmosphere instantly turned tense. Ning Fengya's face showed no emotion, but everyone knew the Main Body Sect's intentions were not good.

An enemy sect that had been causing trouble for years sending its Chief Elder, second only to

the sect leader and two deputy leaders, to visit-what good could come of it?

Ning Fengya didn't believe it, Ling Bai and Ning Tian didn't believe it, and Wu Feng... didn't

believe it either!

"Bring them to the conference hall."

After all, the two sects were still on the surface peaceful, far from a full-scale war. Ning

Fengya should treat them with courtesy.

The high-ranking officials of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, who had slipped out earlier, filed back in and stood on either side, quietly waiting for the Main Body Sect's arrival. "Ha ha ha, Sect Leader Ning, how have you been?"

Laughter preceded the arrival of the visitors. The barbell-like laughter was filled with surging

soul power, causing Ning Tian and Wu Feng to wince in pain, and Wu Yan to shield them from

the hidden malice in the laughter.

"I am well, Tiger Arm Douluo. Your cultivation seems to have advanced further."

"Just a little progress, not worth mentioning!"

A towering figure entered the hall, tall and with a rugged, ugly face. His short hair stood up

like steel needles, his arms were exceptionally thick, even more so than his thighs, embodying the phrase 'able to ride a horse on his arms.' Black and white tiger stripes tattooed on his arms moved constantly, exuding a fierce aura like a prehistoric beast.

The Chief Elder of the Main Body Sect, a 96th-level Sealed Douluo, Tiger Arm Douluo Chen

Hu!

Behind Chen Hu were three people. One was small and had an abnormally large head, like a big-headed baby. The second had a disproportionately large right arm, making him look unbalanced when walking.

The third was the youngest, around twenty years old, with a relatively normal appearance

among the Main Body Sect's disciples, but with prominent knuckles on his hands. He stood silently behind Tiger Arm Douluo, chin raised high, eyes filled with pride.

Ling Bai observed them. The Main Body Sect's disciples were easy to identify-soul masters with deformed bodies, their soul powers couldn't be hidden. Tiger Arm Douluo had deformed

arms, the two middle-aged men had deformed heads and right arms, and the young man had deformed hands.

"There's no such thing as a free visit, Tiger Arm Douluo. Why are you here at the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?" Ning Fengya asked coolly.

"Sect Leader Ning is straightforward, and I don't like beating around the bush either."

Chen Hu's rough black face twisted into an ugly smile, pointing to the young man behind him, he said, "My direct disciple, Chen Yu, a 61st-level Spirit Emperor, has completed the second awakening of his Bronze-Level Main Body Soul Power. I've heard that Sect Leader Ning has a daughter. I represent the Main Body Sect's leader and wish to form a marital alliance with the

Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, turning our enmity into friendship and making us one family!" "What!"

Ning Tian's face turned deathly pale, realizing the Main Body Sect's visit was aimed at her. "This must be Ning Miss, right?"

Chen Yu, seeing Ning Tian, who resembled Ning Fengya by about seventy percent, sized her up from head to toe like a commodity and nodded, "A beauty, barely worthy of me." Wu Feng, who had been reciting a calming mantra, finally snapped. Two streams of thick

white energy burst from her breath, and red dragon scales appeared on her neck, her eyes blazing with fury.

In her eyes, no one was worthy of Ning Tian. Ling Bai had a few redeeming qualities, but what was Chen Yu?

"I'll kill you... let me go!"

Wu Feng, disregarding the vast gap in cultivation, wanted to rush at Chen Yu and fight to the

death. However, she suddenly found her body as heavy as a thousand pounds, with two hands

pressing down on her shoulders, and the red dragon flames subsided.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

It was Ling Bai and Wu Yan.

"What are you doing?"

Wu Feng gritted her teeth, "You always call me stupid, but can't you see the Main Body Sect is

mocking us? Ning Tian, the esteemed daughter of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, is being matched with a Bronze-Level Main Body Soul Power and a conceited nobody!"

"Shut up!"

Wu Yan scolded, knowing that Wu Feng's rash actions would embarrass the Nine Treasures

Crystal Tower. He quickly sealed her soul power and mouth.

The high-ranking officials of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower began to stir, soul power surging, but Chen Hu remained unperturbed, crossing his arms with a smug expression. The Main Body Sect had always been arrogant, or they wouldn't have challenged all the sects on

the Tang Sect Continent with their single sect's strength!

Ning Fengya's eyes narrowed, her tone neutral, "My daughter is still young, and I allow her to

choose her own beloved. Tiger Arm Douluo, please leave."

"That won't do."

Chen Hu shook his head, grinning at the beautiful figure on the throne, "The sect leader gave

a direct order. Today, the Main Body Sect and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower must form a marital alliance. She's young, but you, Sect Leader Ning, are not so young... Sect Leader Ning lost her husband in her prime and still retains her charm. I have never married. Why don't you remarry me, and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower can be your dowry?

We can merge the two sects into one!"
