Ning Liu awakens with the most useless Glazed Pagoda, only to be kicked out by the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect to a remote small town, where he inherits a Grade D auction house in Suo Tuo City!
<...Ning paused for a moment.
"Your Holiness, Elder Ghost, are you aware that beyond this familiar continent, there exists... another continent?"
Another continent?
Compared to Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo, these five words were like a thunderbolt.
"Another...continent?"
Bibi Dong's voice trembled slightly.
Having lived for so long, and as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she considered herself to know the secrets of the continent very well, yet she had never heard of such an absurd claim.
"Sect Leader Ning, what do you mean by that?"
Her voice regained some composure, but her fists remained clenched.
Ghost Douluo's voice followed immediately.
"Another continent? How is that possible!"
"This continent is everything we know! How can there be another continent?"
"If it really exists, where is that world?"
Faced with their shock and questions, Ning Liu did not answer directly, but simply shook his head slightly.
"Your Holiness, Ghost Douluo, there is no need to rush."
"Some things, you will know when the time comes."
"Hmph, just trying to be mysterious!"
Upon seeing this, Ghost Douluo snorted coldly.
"Even if the Xuan Shui Sect really comes from another continent, so what?"
"Just because the people of the Xuan Shui Sect have different origins, does Sect Master Ning intend to exterminate them all?"
"Our Spirit Hall has suppressed them for thousands of years, and we have never even entertained such thoughts!"
In his view, the Spirit Hall's "suppression" was merely a means of maintaining order.
It's about gaining control over unknown forces, not simply destroying them.
Ning Liu's resolute decision was truly illogical.
Upon hearing this, Ning Liu's smile vanished, replaced by a chilling expression.
"Elder Ghost, you are mistaken."
"What if they are not simply different in origin?"
"What if that so-called Xuan Shui Sect is just... a tentacle that the continent is extending towards us?"
"If, on that day, that continent wants to invade this continent, could they be... its guides?"
A series of rhetorical questions struck Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo's hearts once again.
Ghost Douluo suddenly looked up, and a terrifying killing intent spread out uncontrollably.
"What?!"
"Invading the mainland?!"
"How dare they! They have such wolfish ambitions!"
If what Ning Liu said is true, then the existence of the Xuan Shui Sect is no longer just about acting mysteriously, but a naked threat to the entire continent!
The Spirit Hall will never tolerate such a threat!
Bibi Dong's expression turned ugly again.
However, a look of surprise and uncertainty still flickered in her beautiful eyes.
After all, this news was far too shocking.
It's also far too... important.
She understood better than Ghost Douluo what it would mean if this were true!
"Sect Leader Ning."
Bibi Dong's voice turned serious.
"This matter is of great importance and is not a trivial matter."
"How did you find out about these things?"
"Is there any conclusive evidence?"
She needed to verify the authenticity of this news.
Ning Liu met Bibi Dong's probing gaze with composure.
Then, he chuckled.
"Your Holiness, do I need to explain much?"
"Elder Gui mentioned earlier that the records of the Spirit Hall show that the Xuan Shui Sect has an unknown origin, acts mysteriously, and is ambitious."
"Isn't this enough to raise alarm?"
He paused, then changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat mocking.
"As for Xuan Yi, the sect leader of Xuan Shui Sect, his actions at the auction were witnessed by His Holiness the Pope and Elder Gui."
"A sect that has been hidden for a thousand years has a sect leader who is so high-profile and flamboyant, even going so far as to confront my Liuli Heaven for the sake of some face or other purposes."
"Isn't it obvious enough that they are so eager to assert their presence and make no attempt to conceal their domineering intentions?"
"Would a sect that truly embraces seclusion and low-key development behave like this?"
Ning Liu's words caused Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo to fall into deep thought once again.
Indeed, the Xuan Shui Sect's behavior today is abnormal in many ways.
Combining the records of the Spirit Hall over the past thousand years with Ning Liu's claim of "another world," the answer seems to be found.
Ghost Douluo stopped speaking.
He had to admit that Ning Liu's analysis was not unfounded.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Bibi Dong's gaze lingered on Ning Liu, as if she were weighing her options and making a judgment.
After a moment, her furrowed brows relaxed.
"Sect Leader Ning."
Bibi Dong's voice regained its former majesty.
"I will believe what you say for now."
"If the Xuan Shui Sect is truly as you say, a vanguard of villains from another continent who covet our continent, then my Martial Soul Hall will never sit idly by."
She took a step forward, her voice firm and resolute.
"Since Sect Leader Ning has decided to destroy this fiend, our Spirit Hall will naturally provide our full support!"
"All intelligence from the Spirit Hall regarding the Xuan Shui Sect will be made fully available to Liuli Tian immediately."
"If necessary, our Spirit Hall can also send powerful experts to assist Sect Master Ning in annihilating this fiend!"
"In fact, if Sect Master Ning deems it necessary, it is not impossible for me to take action personally!"
Upon hearing this, even Ghost Douluo turned his head to look again.
His Holiness the Pope is actually willing to pay such a high price, even going so far as to personally intervene?!
This is not merely support for Ning Liu, but also an extreme concern for that potential threat.
Ning Liu's face showed satisfaction upon hearing this.
That's the attitude he wants.
"Your Holiness the Pope is wise and righteous, and I admire him greatly."
"In that case, thank you for your kindness, Your Holiness the Pope."
"I, Liuli Tian, will handle the annihilation of the Xuan Shui Sect."
"If there is any need for the Spirit Hall's assistance, I, Ning, will certainly not hesitate to lend a hand."
He didn't take on too much, nor was he overly modest; everything seemed just right.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong nodded.
"good."
She stood up.
"Sect Leader Ning, what you said today is of utmost importance."
"Now that Liuli Tian and my Spirit Hall are friends, I hope to hear more of Sect Master Ning's voice in the future."
"Perhaps there is room for more collaboration between us."
After saying that, she turned around and walked outside.
Ghost Douluo nodded slightly to Ning Liu as a sign of greeting, and followed closely behind Bibi Dong.
"That's natural."
Ning Liu smiled and replied.
