Chapter 27: The Heavily Injured Qian Xunji, a Peerless Expert of the Mortal World Sets Out
Seeing Yun Yuan's previous state, she had thought the human boy was going to fight her to the death. She hadn't expected that he did all that just to escape; she had been completely fooled by him.
"Cunning human, don't let me run into you again, or this Auspicious Beast definitely won't let you off."
After the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke through gritted teeth, she began searching for her bodyguard, the Scarlet King, to see if he had killed the human who wanted to capture her.
On the other side.
Relying on his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Qian Xunji fought while retreating, finally escaping the Scarlet King's clutches.
However, he had also sustained very heavy injuries and was separated from his disciple, Yun Yuan, whose whereabouts were unknown.
To Qian Xunji, this was the most unacceptable part. If anything happened to Yun Yuan, his plans for the future of Spirit Hall would come to an abrupt end.
Moreover, Yun Yuan was not just the future of Spirit Hall, but also his, Qian Xunji's, disciple.
What right did a Soul Master have to be a teacher if he couldn't even protect his own disciple?
Now, he had to rush back to Spirit Hall. Yun Yuan had the Wind Thunder Wings, so he still had a chance to survive in the Star Dou Great Forest.
But as more time passed, accidents could happen. Furthermore, the direction Yun Yuan had been blown by the collision of Soul Power seemed to be the area where that golden Soul Beast was located.
He had to hurry back and notify his father to head to the Star Dou Great Forest; that way, there was still a chance to salvage everything.
After Qian Xunji escaped, the Scarlet King felt a slight sense of regret. If it weren't for the fact that the Light Spirit Master's Martial Soul had a very high speed attribute, he might have been left behind in the Star Dou Great Forest forever.
However, he did gain something. Although the Light Spirit Master escaped, the Scarlet King had inflicted heavy injuries on him, enough to leave a lasting shadow.
Then, he hurried back to report to the Auspicious Beast.
Returning to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's side, the Scarlet King lowered his body slightly, showing the highest respect to the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
"Auspicious Beast, that human has been heavily injured by me, but unfortunately, he managed to escape."
Immediately after, the Scarlet King continued to advise the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, "Auspicious Beast, perhaps you should return to the depths of the Lake of Life. Your safety is of paramount importance to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head with a look of reluctance and explained to the Scarlet King.
"No, I want to wander around the Star Dou Great Forest for a while longer. Staying in that place all the time is boring me to death."
"Besides, Scarlet King, don't I have you to protect me? I'll play for a few more days and then go back to Di Tian with you."
Since birth, she hadn't come out many times. This time she had snuck out, and she didn't want to go back until she was tired of playing in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still so stubborn, the Scarlet King had no choice. In the entire Core Circle, aside from Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji, no one could make this little ancestor change her mind.
Helpless, the Scarlet King could only follow the Auspicious Beast, protecting her at all times to prevent such an incident from happening again.
A few hours later, in Spirit City, at the Hall of Worship.
Dragging his heavily injured body, Qian Xunji finally made it back to the front of the palace. At this moment, his internal organs were all displaced, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The moment Qian Xunji returned to the gates of the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu, who was praying inside, sensed him.
In just an instant, Qian Daoliu's figure vanished from within the Hall of Worship and appeared at the main entrance.
Seeing Qian Xunji in such a state, he was instantly filled with worry and immediately wanted to take him into the palace for treatment.
But seeing Qian Daoliu's movement, Qian Xunji shook his head and began to explain to him.
"Father, hurry to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Yuan. I lost him. My injuries can be treated, but if you go too late, Xiao Yuan might really be gone."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu frowned deeply, filled with confusion, and began to question Qian Xunji.
"Jier, what exactly is going on? What on earth happened during your trip to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Facing his father's inquiry, Qian Xunji kept it brief and told Qian Daoliu everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It started with him trying to capture a golden super Soul Beast, but he encountered its guardian, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast that was capable of human speech.
Then he and Yun Yuan were separated by the impact. Yun Yuan was washed away, while he endured the terrifying Soul Beast's attacks to escape the Star Dou Great Forest.
After roughly explaining the events, Qian Xunji gave the approximate location where he and Yun Yuan were separated. If Qian Daoliu wanted to find Yun Yuan, that would be the best place to start.
After listening to Qian Xunji's account, Qian Daoliu's heart grew heavy. He worried that by the time he found Yun Yuan, he would already be a corpse.
"Jier, I'll have your uncles help treat you first. Then, your Uncle Golden Crocodile and I will head to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Yuan."
"Don't worry, as long as Xiao Yuan is still alive, I will definitely bring him back. If Xiao Yuan has unfortunately perished, then I will scour the entire Star Dou Great Forest and slay those two Soul Beasts to be buried with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu sent Qian Xunji into the Hall of Worship, letting the other five priests help treat him.
Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu took Gold Crocodile Douluo and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest to search for Yun Yuan.
Not long after, two streaks of golden light streaked across the sky above Spirit Hall, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest next to Spirit City.
"High Priest, what happened?"
Golden Crocodile flew through the air alongside Qian Daoliu, his heart full of confusion, and couldn't help but ask.
"Golden Crocodile, this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest is to find Xiao Yuan. He has gone missing there."
...
"If we can't find Xiao Yuan, then I will take you to scour the entire Star Dou Great Forest and slay those two Soul Beasts."
While flying, Qian Daoliu described what had happened to Qian Xunji. By the end, a bone-chilling killing intent appeared in his indifferent eyes.
If anything really happened to Yun Yuan, even if he had to scour the entire Star Dou Great Forest, he, Qian Daoliu, would avenge him.
One hour later.
Since Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile's cultivation was far superior to Qian Xunji's, it took them only an hour to reach the Star Dou Great Forest adjacent to Spirit City.
Arriving at the specific location described by Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu looked down.
Traces of the battle between Qian Xunji and the Scarlet King remained here; Qian Daoliu could even sense the lingering angelic Soul Power in the air.
"This is the place."
"Golden Crocodile, we'll split up now to find Xiao Yuan. But if you encounter those two Soul Beasts, capture them first."
Based on Qian Xunji's description, Qian Daoliu could roughly guess the Three-headed Mastiff's cultivation, which was equivalent to a Rank 96 to Rank 97 human Soul Master.
Golden Crocodile was a Rank 98 Peak Douluo, while he was a Rank 99 super Douluo; capturing that Three-headed Mastiff and the three-eyed Soul Beast would not be difficult.
