Spirit City, Elder Palace.
Inside the magnificent Elder Palace, Qian Renxue stood in the center, while figures stood on both sides of the main hall.
Each figure was as deep as the abyss, with a majestic Aura.
Merely standing there caused the air in the entire hall to stagnate completely, like a pool of stagnant water.
Every figure here was a Titled Douluo, a Peak powerhouse standing at the very pinnacle of the continent.
The middle-aged man standing at the very front had golden hair and a handsome face. His Aura was peaceful and calm, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Although his attire was simple, just by standing there, he gave off a sense of holiness that made one want to prostrate and worship.
He was Qian Daoliu, a ninety-nine-level Limit Douluo, the strongest person in the Douluo Continent today.
"I am sorry, Grandfather!"
Qian Renxue knelt on one knee, lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Elder She Long has fallen in battle!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand slightly, and the body of Elder Yu Long appeared beside her. His hollow, lifeless eyes still held traces of unwillingness.
The Auras of the other Elders around them suddenly fluctuated violently.
In particular, Titled Douluo Ci Xue, who had the best relationship with Elder Yu Long, looked completely incredulous.
Immediately after, the Aura around his body erupted like a volcano, and his voice was filled with anger, "Who did this?"
Qian Renxue's face turned pale. Even though she was Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, she was currently only a six-ring Soul Emperor.
Facing the pressure of a Titled Douluo, she found it somewhat difficult to resist.
"Ci Xue!"
The figure in the first position to the lower left of Qian Daoliu opened his eyes slightly, like a crocodile opening its eyes—cold and merciless.
His voice was flat but filled with unquestionable authority.
"Mind your attitude."
"Yes."
Ci Xue took a step back, slowly withdrawing his Aura, and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. He then said in a deep voice, "Young Lord, it was my lack of manners. How did... She Long die?"
The corners of Qian Renxue's mouth moved slightly: "We encountered a Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger."
Qian Daoliu's gaze shifted over, his voice carrying a hint of comfort, "Child, take your time. Tell me exactly what happened during this trip."
Subsequently, Qian Renxue recounted the entire sequence of events regarding their trip to the Hu Nu Mountain Range.
This included the death of Elder Yu Long, as well as the entire process of how she and Lin Yang worked together to defeat the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
Everyone fell silent for a moment after hearing this.
Even Ci Xue looked bewildered.
He did not expect a Titled Douluo to die so casually, and at the hands of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast, no less.
Most importantly, this Soul Beast was already dead.
His heart was undoubtedly filled with frustration, yet he could not even find an object for his venting.
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly: "A Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, so that's it!"
This type of Soul Beast was extremely rare, so rare that it was difficult to see one even in several centuries. Therefore, even Spirit Hall only had the most superficial understanding of this Soul Beast.
They had not expected it to possess the ability to pull people into an alternate dimension.
Reversing time and turning back to youth.
Let alone Elder Yu Long, if it were anyone else here, it would have been impossible to escape.
The most likely method would be the same as that kid named Lin Yang—to break through the opponent's defensive skill while being dragged into the alternate dimension.
However, for that kid to be able to kill a Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger at the age of six, he was clearly extraordinary.
He did not suspect that Qian Renxue was fabricating the story.
It is often said that the elderly become shrewd, and those standing here were all Titled Douluo who had been famous for at least a century; even the slightest guilty conscience would be detected by them.
But Qian Renxue did not; every sentence she spoke was extremely calm and straightforward.
If she had not experienced it personally, the lingering fear and relief in her words could not be faked.
"It is good that you are safe. The world is unpredictable, and our understanding of Soul Beasts is still too limited."
After a pause, Qian Daoliu continued, "However, Elder Yu Long died protecting Xiao Xue. His Bloodline relatives will be supported by the Elder Palace from now on, and if there are descendants with good talent, they can also be fully cultivated by Spirit Hall."
"Thank you, High Priest!"
Now, even Ci Xue had nothing to say.
When a person dies, the light goes out; Spirit Hall had already shown great sincerity by doing this much.
After the other Elders left, Qian Daoliu came to Qian Renxue's side and patted her shoulder, "Do not overthink it. It is good that you returned safely. Do not go out on adventures in the future."
At this moment, Qian Renxue looked up at her grandfather and could not help but ask, "Grandfather, I have wasted my most precious golden time playing another person. Was my choice all these years really correct?"
She was nearly ten years older than Lin Yang, and at the age of just over twenty, she had already reached the sixty-fifth level as a Soul Emperor.
Among her peers, she was undoubtedly an outstanding talent.
But compared to Lin Yang, this talent appeared incomparably dim.
Lin Yang's Innate Soul Power was only level five, yet he had reached the rank of Soul King by the age of twelve, and his combat power was such that even she felt inferior after witnessing it.
He could face the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger head-on, while she could only hide in the distance and follow his commands.
And this was with the premise that her cultivation was far superior to Lin Yang's.
Such a disparity directly shattered the pride and self-righteousness she had held in her heart all along.
She discovered that the assets she had always been proud of were actually nothing more than this.
Not to mention his skill with potions.
Even her current cultivation owed much to his contribution.
She could not help but doubt whether her choices over these many years had been correct.
Spending such a huge price, wasting her golden time for Cultivate, just to play another person.
Being trapped at the desk day after day by trivial matters, all for that woman's grand plan of unification, for an empty imperial position that was destined to disappear.
With her talent, if it had not been delayed by this long period of lurking, she would probably have already crossed the threshold of a Soul Saint by now.
Seeing his granddaughter who had begun to doubt herself, Qian Daoliu could not help but sigh inwardly.
How could he not know that this was a waste of Qian Renxue's talent?
But ultimately, it was the Qian family who had failed Bibi Dong, so all these years, he had turned a blind eye to her little schemes.
He only hoped that one day in the future, the mother and daughter could reconcile.
Now it seemed that day was far off.
"Xiao Xue, if you feel tired, just come back."
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, then said: "Grandfather, let me consider it."
She had invested too much in the identity of Xue Qinghe; if she chose to leave, it would mean giving up the investment of the past dozen years.
Such a price... was too high!
Qian Daoliu did not say much more, simply handing a token slowly to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was slightly stunned: "Grandfather, is this an Elder Token?"
"That is correct," Qian Daoliu's face revealed a faint smile, "That child named Lin Yang saved you after all. Since he is unwilling to join Spirit Hall, then give this to him; it should be useful to him."
"By the way, prepare a gift for me as well, as a token of my gratitude as a grandfather for him saving my granddaughter."
"Yes!"
Qian Renxue nodded. She had been worrying about how to continue contacting Lin Yang.
Now, wasn't this a perfect excuse?
