The next moment, two figures suddenly appeared by her side, respectfully saying, "Holy Daughter!"
They were none other than Citun and Snake Spear, two Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls.
Upon seeing the two of them, Qian Renxue's cold expression softened slightly, puzzlingly she asked, "Elders, what brings you here in the middle of the night? Has something happened?"
Citun shook his head, "Holy Daughter, it's the Grand Elder who sent us..."
Qian Renxue frowned. "Grandfather?"
Snake Spear nodded and explained, "Yes, the Grand Elder asked us to notify you, it's time to return. He has important matters to discuss with you."
Qian Renxue murmured, "But I've just secured my position on the throne of the Tiandou Empire. I'm afraid leaving now would weaken the Martial Soul Hall's control over the Tiandou Empire!"
This would not bode well for the development of the Martial Soul Hall...
Snake Spear smiled, "Holy Daughter needn't worry, isn't there still that person?"
Citun also chimed in, "That's right! After escorting you back, Snake Spear and I will stay by his side, letting him manage the Tiandou Empire. That way, your identity won't be exposed or be a cause for concern."
Pope Bibi Dong had originally planned to have Emperor Xue Ye's son, Xue Qinghe, killed, allowing Qian Renxue to fully take his place...
However, Qian Dao Liu intervened and thus spared the real Xue Qinghe's life, who is now imprisoned in the Elder Hall...
On the other hand, with the two of them here, should Xue Qinghe dare to have any ulterior motives, they could easily deal with him...
Qian Renxue contemplated, "Is that so, Grandfather kept him alive knowing that such a day would come?"
Then, what could be so critical that Grandfather would consider such a long-term issue?
Citun and Snake Spear exchanged a glance and proposed, "Holy Daughter, delays may bring troubles, why don't we embark on our journey now?"
Qian Renxue nodded and then a faint purple glow appeared on her forehead, as her appearance once again transformed into Qian Renxue's...
She said softly, "I understand."
Thereafter, Qian Renxue and the two Douluo, Citun and Snake Spear, quickly headed for the Elder Hall...
In just half a day, Qian Renxue and Elder Citun had already arrived outside the Elder Hall...
The next moment, in front of the three of them appeared a handsome man who bore a resemblance to Xue Qinghe, escorted by the Gold Crocodile Douluo...
Upon seeing Qian Renxue, a flicker of surprise crossed Jin E's eyes, and he spoke with great respect, "Holy Daughter, you've arrived."
Qian Renxue absentmindedly replied to Jin E, "Hmm!"
Her gaze, however, was fixed on the cheek of the man who was the real Xue Qinghe...
With his head buried in silence, Xue Qinghe looked up abruptly upon hearing Qian Renxue's voice, his gaze intently fixed on the familiar face of Qian Renxue, and he said in shock, "Xiao Xue..."
The old him had thought Xue Qinghe was a close confidant in the Tiandou Empire, but unexpectedly...
The harsh truth had still come to pass...
Qian Renxue turned out to be the daughter of Pope Bibi Dong of Martial Soul Hall!
Faced with Xue Qinghe's intense gaze, Qian Renxue pursed her crimson lips and remained silent...
Jin E turned his attention to the two Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls, Snake Spear and Citun, and ordered coldly, "Snake Spear, Citun, you two must guard him well. This young man is very useful to the current Martial Soul Hall."
Snake Spear and Citun walked up to Xue Qinghe, responding, "Yes!"
Then they signaled to Qian Renxue, "Holy Daughter, we will now take him back to the Tiandou Empire."
"Hmm!"
Only after she watched Xue Qinghe being taken out of sight did Qian Renxue slowly come back to her senses...
Gold Crocodile Douluo slowly extended his hand, speaking respectfully, "Holy Daughter, let's go. The Grand Elder is awaiting you at this very moment!"
Qian Renxue didn't speak; she followed Gold Crocodile Douluo into the Elder Hall…
She had just stopped walking when a familiar figure appeared before Qian Renxue's eyes…
Her grandfather, Qian Dao Liu.
Sitting in his place, Qian Dao Liu's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, a sharp gleam flashing by…
Then, he spoke kindly to Qian Renxue, "Xiao Xue, you've arrived."
Qian Renxue walked unhurriedly towards Qian Dao Liu, nodded, and asked with some confusion, "Hmm! Grandfather, is there something important you called me here for?"
It wasn't often that Qian Dao Liu would specifically ask her to return to the Elder Hall from the Tiandou Empire unless it was for matters of utmost importance…
Qian Dao Liu slowly stood up, his tone serious, "Indeed, and it's…the most important matter for you at the moment!!"
"Xiao Xue, follow me," he said.
With those words, Qian Dao Liu slowly turned and walked deeper inside…
Unsure of what was taking place, Qian Renxue followed Qian Dao Liu's steps, then stopped within one of the towers of the Martial Soul Hall…
Qian Renxue didn't rush to inquire, silently observing Qian Dao Liu's actions…
She saw him approach a wall and perform some actions. Slowly, a very dark secret chamber opened up from the ground…
The stairs leading to the secret chamber were extremely narrow, accommodating at most only a couple of individuals to enter…
Qian Renxue drew near the staircase, feeling as if something below was calling out to her…
Qian Dao Liu turned to glance at Qian Renxue, then explained lightly, "Xiao Xue, the matter I have to discuss with you is inside here. This place is also where we Seraphs might ascend to divinity!"
Qian Renxue's pupils contracted as she thought to herself with a hint of awe, "A place…to become a god?"
...…
Xu Sheng raised his gaze to look at the Martial Soul Academy built especially for them, smiled with a hint of emotion, and then walked in…
He saw the empty Martial Soul Academy with not a single instructor or other person in sight…
Only three familiar figures were sitting cross-legged in the center of the academy…
Suddenly, he felt a surge of Soul Power from one of the red-haired men, who slowly opened his eyes and exclaimed joyfully, "I've broken through to Soul Emperor!!"
The speaker was Flame, who had never expected that just a day of serious training would lead to such a seamless breakthrough to become a Soul Emperor!
Before he could revel in his joy, Evil Moon, who was sitting beside him, also experienced fluctuations in his soul power…
Evil Moon glanced at Flame and said coolly, "I have broken through as well, and keep your voice down, don't disturb Nana's cultivation!"
Evil Moon thought to himself, "It seems that visiting Slaughter City made the breakthrough to Soul Emperor almost without any obstacles; it could be said to be very smooth."
Only then, coming back to their senses did Evil Moon and Flame notice an additional figure before them…
Evil Moon's eyes brightened, "Xu Sheng?"
Seeing Xu Sheng, Flame's eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior, his voice thick with pleading, "Xu Sheng, please beg for us, just one day of training here and I already feel like I can't hold on much longer."
Xu Sheng, seeing that Hulena was also about to break through, interrupted Flame, "Hold your tongue for now, Lena seems to be breaking through to level 58."
After a while, as ripples emerged around Hulena, she too broke through to the 58th level!
Hulena's beautiful eyes slowly opened, and the charming aura around her grew even more intense…
