Chapter 149: Don't Lose the Big Picture for the Small

Sect Master Ning was not overly concerned about whether Zhao Ling would eventually turn against the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect once his fiancée became the Pope. In his eyes, the Demon Suppression Douluo seemed like a reasonable and upright person.

"As long as we treat him sincerely, I trust he won't act treacherously," Ning thought.

However, Yu Yuanzhen was stunned by the cold and resolute tone of his old friend's words. Was this still the same friend he had known for years?

"What do you mean by 'doing something wrong'? Are you implying that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would never do the same? What exactly did I do wrong?" Yu Yuanzhen fumed internally.

To him, the issue was clear: Zhao Ling had colluded with the Spirit Hall to persecute his two sons, and he was only seeking justice. If his children had not belonged to one of the Upper Three Sects, would the Spirit Hall and Zhao Ling have targeted them so ruthlessly?

He believed the Zhao Ling's actions were a deliberate move against the Upper Three Sects, and his sons were just the beginning. Yu Yuanzhen envisioned a grim future where any member of the Upper Three Sects could be beaten or crippled at the whim of Zhao Ling or the Spirit Hall.

Thus, his visit to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was about consolidating alliances to resist this perceived threat. Why couldn't his old friend see that? Did he need to wait until Zhao Ling personally targeted the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to understand the gravity of the situation?

Ironically, Yu Yuanzhen seemed to have conveniently forgotten that the people who truly punished Yu Xiaogang were members of the Spirit Hall. Zhao Ling, at most, had indirectly disciplined Yu Xiaogang on two occasions.

In reality, Zhao Ling had little to do with the events Yu Yuanzhen attributed to him. If Zhao Ling had truly intended to kill Yu Xiaogang, there wouldn't be enough Xiaogangs in existence to survive his wrath.

What Yu Yuanzhen refused to admit was that his sons had initiated the confrontation with Zhao Ling. When they tried to teach him a lesson, Zhao Ling simply defended himself, incapacitating the brothers.

Despite this, Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family insisted on painting Zhao Ling as the villain.

Deep down, Yu Yuanzhen probably understood that Zhao Ling wasn't the real culprit. But that didn't matter. The Spirit Hall was too powerful, boasting an army of Titled Douluo, far beyond the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

To protect the fragile pride of his family and avenge his sons, Yu Yuanzhen found it convenient to place all the blame on Zhao Ling. After all, engaged to the Spirit Hall's Saint, Zhao Ling was already seen as a half-member of the Spirit Hall and lacked substantial backing of his own.

To Yu Yuanzhen, Zhao Ling was the perfect scapegoat. But now, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's refusal to join his cause felt like betrayal. How could his old friend refuse to hold Zhao Ling accountable?

Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened, anger flaring in his eyes.

"Old friend, that Zhao Ling has already trampled on us. How can you not help me deal with him? Do you intend to wait until he harms someone from your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to act?"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged glances, amusement evident in their expressions.

To them, Yu Yuanzhen's attempt to sow discord was laughable.

They had met Demon Suppression Douluo before. He was an approachable, even-tempered individual who bore no hostility toward the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo vividly remembered their encounter with Zhao Ling. When Bone Douluo had challenged him to a contest, Zhao Ling didn't even use his martial soul or soul power; he opted to fight barehanded. Although Bone Douluo had been injured during the sparring match—being thrown into a wall due to Zhao Ling's overwhelming strength—Zhao Ling had apologized sincerely.

If Zhao Ling truly bore ill will toward the Upper Three Sects, would he have bothered with apologies? Certainly not.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's accusations of Zhao Ling being a ruthless tyrant were baseless, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo struggled to suppress their disdain.

After a brief silence, Bone Douluo spoke up.

"Patriarch Yu, let me offer you some advice. It would be wise for your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family not to provoke the Demon Suppression Douluo. He may not have a vast background, but he is his own greatest strength."

Bone Douluo refrained from elaborating, as the royal court had issued a gag order concerning Zhao Ling's recent sparring match in the exclusive royal martial arts arena. Emperor Xue Ye had forbidden any public discussion of the event, and Zhao Ling himself had warned against spreading the details.

While Bone Douluo had little regard for Emperor Xue Ye's authority, he respected Zhao Ling's warning and chose not to elaborate further.

Still, his vague statement left Yu Yuanzhen and the elders fuming.

What did Bone Douluo mean by saying they shouldn't offend Zhao Ling? Wasn't their dignity as a family already trampled by that man? Did Bone Douluo truly expect them to back down now?

Yu Yuanzhen's anger reached its boiling point. He stood abruptly, glaring at Sect Master Ning.

"Master Ning, is there truly no room for discussion? Does the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect intend to abandon its alliance with my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"

Sect Master Ning met his gaze, calm and unyielding.

"Patriarch Yu, I urge you to heed Bone Douluo's advice. Don't let impulsiveness drag your family into ruin."

Sword Douluo solemnly nodded. "Patriarch Yu, it is better to resolve disputes than to create them. I suggest reconciling with Demon Suppression Douluo. Don't sacrifice the bigger picture over personal grievances."

Yu Yuanzhen's face hardened, his anger evident.

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible! The Zhao family has pushed my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family too far. If I yield now, how will we maintain our dignity on the Douluo Continent?"

He snorted coldly, eyes blazing. If not for the presence of two Titled Douluo in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, making a direct confrontation unwise, Yu Yuanzhen would have already caused a scene.
