People are writing diaries in Douluo, Bibi Dong is crazy about it

Chapter 148: You Won't Betray Your Allies, Right?

In the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, inside a small pavilion, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were engrossed in a game of chess. The current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, along with the recently recovered Bone Douluo, observed from the sidelines.

The chess they played differed from Chinese chess, which Zhao Ling and others were familiar with; it resembled international chess played on the Blue Planet.

As the game reached an intense point, a servant rushed into the courtyard, speaking solemnly to the leader of the sect:

"Master, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and three elders are requesting an audience."

The leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He promptly left the courtyard.

Curious about the purpose of the visit, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo exchanged glances before following him. They welcomed Yu Yuanzhen and the three elders into the reception room and instructed the servants to prepare the finest Maojian tea.

After pouring tea for everyone, the sect leader addressed Yu Yuanzhen with a tentative smile.

"Old friend, it's been a long time. What brings you to my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect today? Is it out of fondness for me?"

Though the leader of the sect feigned confusion, he had already guessed the reason. News had long since reached him about the conflict between the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and Zhao Ling.

Such disputes were expected. After all, any event involving a powerful force like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family—ranked among the top in both the Tiandou Empire and the Douluo Continent—was bound to attract attention.

Moreover, rumors about the severe punishments of the family's eldest and second young masters in Soto City had spread far and wide, thanks to individuals with ulterior motives. The younger master's repeated missteps had even forced the Great Fighting Spirit Arena to pay a steep price to ensure his safety.

Rather than showing gratitude, the family had retaliated. Three elders, accompanied by dozens of clansmen, caused a ruckus at the Great Fighting Soul Arena.

Thankfully, the arena's management handled the situation effectively, preventing further chaos. However, tens of thousands of witnesses saw the debacle, solidifying the rumors' credibility.

In the past month, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's reputation had plummeted across the Tiandou Empire and beyond. Many viewed the family as bullies who preyed on the weak.

Now, one young master was rumored to have lost his mind, while the other was imprisoned in the family dungeon for ten years—consequences that some deemed deserved.

Despite the widespread gossip, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family struggled to suppress it. Silencing a few voices wouldn't stop people from whispering behind their backs.

Even small families were aware of the scandal. Naturally, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, with its advanced information network, had been informed as well. However, they chose to feign ignorance.

Hearing the sect leader's questioning tone, Yu Yuanzhen cut to the chase.

"I've come to your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect regarding the royal worshiper Zhao Ling. Sect Master Ning, I assume your intelligence network is aware of the deep animosity between my family and Zhao Ling?"

As expected, the leader of the sect had already deduced this. However, he maintained a neutral expression and asked with a frown, feigning surprise:

"If it's about Zhao Ling, what does this matter have to do with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? While we are aligned with the royal family, their decision to appoint a Titled Douluo as a royal worshiper is beyond our influence."

Yu Yuanzhen hesitated, then softened his tone.

"I understand the royal family's decision, but Zhao Ling is now half-aligned with the Spirit Hall. As you know, our three great sects have always clashed with the Spirit Hall..."

Before Yu Yuanzhen could finish, Ning Fengzhi interrupted:

"Patriarch Yu, are you suggesting that my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect should distance itself from Demon Suppression Douluo? Or do you expect us to align with your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family instead?"

Yu Yuanzhen frowned at the interruption but chose not to respond, tacitly agreeing with Ning Fengzhi's assessment.

The chief elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family stepped forward and spoke gravely:

"Sect Master Ning, Young Master Ning, our two sects have always shared a bond as part of the top three sects. I trust you won't break this unity now, correct? That Demon Suppression Douluo is engaged to the Saint of the Spirit Hall, the future Pope. This means he will eventually align with the Spirit Hall, distancing himself from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

The third elder chimed in: "Sect Master Ning, given the long-standing alliance between our sects, I trust you won't betray us now."

The sect leader's frown deepened as he listened. His tone turned firm.

"Patriarch Yu, remember this: while our sects share history and blood, that does not mean my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect must repeat your mistakes.

Demon Suppression Douluo, despite his engagement to the Saint, is not a member of the Spirit Hall. He's approachable and has earned my respect. Why can't I befriend him?"

He found the demand absurd. His sect had no enmity with Demon Suppression Douluo. Why should they make an enemy of such a formidable figure?

The sect leader silently mocked Yu Yuanzhen's short-sightedness. Demon Suppression Douluo had incapacitated Bone Douluo with a single punch—without even utilizing his martial soul or soul power. Had he been serious, even the combined strength of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Yu Yuanzhen would have been inadequate to confront him.

Given this overwhelming strength, wouldn't it make more sense to avoid unnecessary conflict? Why rush toward certain defeat?
