Chapter 238: All Sold Out
The three women expressed their concerns, but Liu Erlong shook her head dismissively.
"You're all worrying too much. My father isn't even at the Soul Douluo level—he's only level 77. If it comes to a fight, I'm confident I could handle him myself. Besides, we've all benefited from the immortal herbs and Eight Immortal Pills that our husband gave us. The speed at which our strength increases isn't something ordinary people can match."
"But what about your uncle?" Ah Yin asked cautiously, still uneasy. She feared that if Liu Erlong's uncle showed up at her home, things could get complicated.
"My uncle?" Liu Erlong scoffed. "He probably knows I exist, but he's never even met me. He's the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Do you think he'd lower himself to visit my house? And even if he did, don't worry—he can't beat us."
Ah Yin, Arou, and Xiao Wu exchanged skeptical glances but didn't argue further. Liu Erlong's confidence in her abilities seemed unwavering.
After discussing it further, the four women decided to leave quietly without alerting the maids assigned to take care of them.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ling had already made his way to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
This time, he brought hundreds of hidden weapons, including sleeve arrows, Zhuge magic crossbows, innuendos, and Flying God Claws. These practical and versatile hidden weapons were in high demand, even though the sect had already acquired nearly a thousand of them.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Zhao Ling was greeted with exceptional respect. The captain of the guard bowed deeply, treating him with more reverence than he showed to his own family elders.
A newly recruited middle-aged guard, who had joined the sect from a small family, watched in confusion. Turning to his companion, he asked, "Brother, who is this young man? He looks like he's in his twenties. Why does the captain treat him like a revered elder? Is he from the Haotian Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"
His companion immediately clamped a hand over his mouth, glaring at him.
"Are you insane? Watch your words! That's the Demon Suppression Douluo! Even our Sect Master, the Young Sect Master, and the two Guardian Douluo treat him with the utmost respect. Calling him a 'young man' could cost you your life!"
The middle-aged guard's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Even the Sect Master and the two Guardian Douluo respect him? How is that possible? He looks so young—how could he command such respect?"
"You fool," his companion sneered. "If you don't even know about the Demon Suppression Douluo, you'd better find a piece of tofu and end yourself. He's a legend!"
Realizing his mistake, the middle-aged guard suddenly shouted excitedly, "He's the Demon Suppression Douluo? I can't believe it! I've finally met my idol!"
His companion quickly stepped away from him, muttering, "Stay away from me. I don't want to catch your foolishness."
Upon hearing of Zhao Ling's arrival, Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi, the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, along with the two Guardian Douluo, promptly invited him to the reception hall.
Zhao Ling greeted them with a slight bow and a warm smile. "Gentlemen, I trust you've been well. I believe you know the purpose of my visit today."
He then displayed the latest batch of hidden weapons: 52 sleeve arrows, 124 Zhuge magic crossbows, 147 innuendos, and 46 Flying God Claws—nearly 370 in total.
Seeing the weapons, Ning Fengzhi's eyes gleamed with excitement. For a sect like theirs, hidden weapons were invaluable, and even the simplest ones, like sleeve arrows, could become deadly with poison.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhao, you never fail to amaze us. It's always a pleasure doing business with you," Ning Fengzhi said, his laughter hearty and genuine.
As Ning Fengzhi inspected one of the weapons, he turned to Zhao Ling and asked, "Demon Suppression Douluo, what is this one called? It looks particularly formidable."
Zhao Ling picked up the weapon and explained, "This is called the Hanshasheying. It's a mechanical hidden weapon with 36 steel needles, capable of firing three times—12 needles per shot.
The needles are powerful enough to pierce steel plates, and each shot releases a poisonous mist with a paralyzing effect. A single hit can easily kill a Soul Master, and even a Soul Sect-level warrior would be seriously injured."
To demonstrate, Zhao Ling fired the Hanshasheying at a stone pillar in the hall. The needles sank deep into the pillar, leaving everyone in awe of its power.
"This is perfect for self-defense," Ning Fengzhi remarked. "Especially for those who appear weak and harmless. Even a Soul King could fall victim to it."
Zhao Ling retrieved the steel needles, reloaded the Hanshasheying, and set it aside before picking up the Flying God Claw.
"This," he said, "is the Flying God Claw. It's designed to shoot out a claw attached to a 30-meter steel cable. The claw can penetrate gold and stone, and the cable can support up to 300 kilograms. This makes it invaluable for scaling heights or escaping danger."
Ning Fengzhi and the others nodded solemnly. The potential applications of the Flying God Claw were immense, especially for hunting soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"With tools like this, we could avoid many risks," one of the Guardian Douluo noted.
"Exactly," Ning Fengzhi agreed. "Brother Zhao, we'll take everything you've brought today. These hidden weapons are indispensable to our sect."
With that, the transaction was finalized. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect once again secured a treasure trove of weapons while Zhao Ling earned their continued respect and gratitude.
