But since it’s not Dugu Bo, who else could it be?
Everyone racked their brains but couldn’t think of a suitable candidate.

At this time, Ning Fengzhi’s voice came out slowly.

He pushed up his glasses and speculated, “It could be the work of the Xing Luo Empire itself.”

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and their subconscious reaction was how could it be possible.

Niu Gao, who was the most straightforward, was the first to express his thoughts:
“How is this possible? Is there something wrong with the Xing Luo Empire? Why would they persecute their own people?”

But Bai He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.

At this time, Ning Fengzhi glanced around at everyone present and said calmly:
“Do you remember why the Palace Master asked us to kill as little as possible in this war?”

“Of course it’s because Tang San obtained some kind of Rakshasa God inheritance, and we can’t let him progress too fast.” Niu Gao replied.

As soon as these words were spoken, several people present realized something.

The Spirit Hall’s Snake Spear Douluo guessed: “Master Ningmai, what you mean is…”

“That’s right.” Ning Fengzhi nodded, “I think this is a decision Tang San made in order to advance his Divine Exam progress.”

“Because of the recent surrender of many cities in the Xingluo Empire without a fight, the number of casualties has been greatly reduced. I’m afraid it can no longer meet Tang San’s requirements. Therefore, he will use this method to increase the death toll.”

“This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of.”

Everyone was silent.

Indeed, Ning Fengzhi’s speculation is well-founded and is the most likely explanation.

“This Tang San, doing such a heinous thing, is worse than a beast!”

The seventh elder of Haotian Sect stood up angrily and slammed the table with one hand, his old face full of rage.

He said, how could Tang Hao’s son be a good thing?

as predicted.

If we had known earlier, we should have strangled that beast in Haotian Sect, and there would not have been such a scene of devastation today.

The rest of the people also looked angry.

Although everyone present was not a soft-hearted person, Tang San’s behavior still made them angry.

“Then what should we do?” Yang Wudi’s face was solemn.

“If Tang San really succeeds to the Rakshasa God throne, we will be in trouble.”

“Why don’t we ask Elder Dugu to help detoxify?” Niu Gao suggested.

“I’m afraid this method won’t work.” Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

“Perhaps Elder Dugu can really solve the danger of this poison, but the problem is that those people in the Xingluo Empire will not cooperate.”

“If my guess is correct, the Xingluo royal family should have already explained the large-scale outbreak of the strange disease, and they have put all the blame on Elder Dugu.”

As soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, the members of the Min clan who were responsible for gathering intelligence also returned at this moment.

“How?” Bai He asked.

The disciple of the Min clan swallowed his saliva, as if he had seen something terrible.

After calming down a little, he continued, “Reporting to all the lords, the situation in Tona City is already horrible.”

“That strange disease has infected almost all the civilians and soldiers in the city. Now the city is full of miserable corpses.”

“And the people in the city are surprisingly hostile to us.”

“The reason is that the Xingluo royal family issued an announcement saying that the reason why this horrible disease occurred in the Xingluo cities this time was all caused by Elder Dugu!”

After saying all this, the disciple from the Min clan couldn’t help but dry heave.

Even though he had seen a lot of death in this war, everything in Tona City was still too much of a shock to him.

Ning Fengzhi’s guess was verified at this moment. This was Tang San’s style without any bottom line.

He did all this, but shamelessly pushed the blame onto Dugu Bo.

As a result, the people of Xingluo, who already had little desire to resist, would once again develop strong hostility towards the coalition forces.

“Can’t we explain it?” Niu Gao’s words immediately earned him a lot of looks like an idiot.

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his brows, not understanding how he could be so stupid after all he was the clan leader before and was now one of the high-ranking officials of the Ice Spirit Palace.

He patiently explained, “Elder Niu, you think too simply.”

“Even if we explain it, do you think the people of Xingluo Empire will believe that this is the work of Elder Dugu or their national teacher?”

Niu Gao was silent.

Although he was stupid, he knew the answer.

The people of the Xingluo Empire will definitely think that this was the work of Dugu Bo.

After all, no one would think that their national teacher would attack them.

As the hostile party, Dugu Bo also has sufficient reasons.

Even they, when they heard the news, thought of Dugu Bo first.

If they are like this, what about the people of the Star Luo Empire?
“So we have no other choice?” Niu Gao said unwillingly.

The thought of how Tang San’s plan went so smoothly made him feel even more unhappy.

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, looked at the sky by the window, and said gloomily: “This is a dead end.”

“Even if we force our way into the city and help them detoxify, we will encounter strong resistance and suffer casualties.”

“Even if Senior Dugu developed an antidote to this disease and had people take it in public, there would still be many people who wouldn’t believe it.”

“And we don’t know whether the disease is contagious. If we rush into the city, we will be playing with the lives of ordinary soldiers.”

“In case of any accidents, it would be in line with Tang San’s wishes.”

“The only thing we can do now is to pray.”

“pray?”

“That’s right.” Ning Fengzhi said in a heavy tone, “Pray that these negative energies and deaths will not be enough for Tang San to complete the Divine Test.”

“Or pray that the Palace Master and his wife can become gods in time.”

“The only ones who can fight against gods are gods.”

“If one of these two things happens, we will win the battle.”

“If not, then it is a failure.”

Ning Fengzhi’s words made the atmosphere in the entire tent extremely heavy.

Everyone present is a top figure on the continent, but when it comes to something like this, they have no right to decide the outcome.

This made them quite sad.

Even if you are a Titled Douluo at the pinnacle of the human world, you are still nothing in front of the gods.

No matter whether it was Sword Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo or other Titled Douluo, they had never thought that one day they would be so powerless that the only way out was to pray.

The coalition forces of the Tiandou Empire and the Wuhun Empire had no intention of attacking again, but the death toll in the Xingluo Empire was increasing day by day.

There was no movement from Xingluo City either.

Both sides seemed to be waiting for a result that would determine the final outcome.
