Chapter 9: An unexpected encounter with the Tang brothers; a giant bear attacks the villagers.
The ghost said helplessly, "Yue Guan, calm down and cultivate! Your tossing and turning is disturbing my rest!"
"What's the point of cultivating!" Yue Guan said, "You know the flaws in my martial soul. My current soul power level is already at its limit!"
Ghost shook his head. "I can't imagine what you would do if someone else snatched that rare, heavenly chrysanthemum."
"Who robbed you? Who dares to rob you?" Yue Guan glared and said, "I'd like to see who dares!"
Ghost sighed, turned around and went to sleep. He wasn't going to go crazy with Yue Guan!
Standing by the window, Yue Guan murmured, "Time flies so fast. A day has passed in the blink of an eye! More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye! Yes! So fast!"
Until the next morning.
The ghost woke up from his sleep and saw Yue Guan standing by the window, muttering something to himself.
"Yue Guan, you didn't get any rest all night, did you?"
Yue Guan turned her head away. "Yeah, I can't sleep!"
"What are you muttering about?" Ghost asked, puzzled.
Yue Guan said, "I'm counting the time on my fingers. Almost eight hours have passed today. In sixteen more hours, today will be over, and we'll be one day closer to the ripening of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!"
Ghost looked at Yue Guan in surprise, and after a long while, he managed to utter a single sentence.
"Are you crazy?!"
"Are you just going to live like this, counting down the days on your fingers?"
Yue Guan ignored the ghost and continued muttering to himself, calculating the time.
[Sign-in complete today. Soul Power level +1. Current Soul Power level: 103.]
Qian Xunji had just woken up when the ghost rushed to knock on the door.
"Your Holiness, something terrible has happened! Yue Guan has gone mad!"
"Huh?" Qian Xunji was a little confused. How could a titled Douluo be possessed?
Just for that rare and precious chrysanthemum?
When Qian Xunji appeared, Yue Guan immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Yue Guan greets His Holiness the Pope!"
Before Qian Xunji could say anything, Yue Guan turned around again and muttered to himself.
"Yue Guan is too obsessed with the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju. Now that he has finally found it, he is temporarily lost."
As Qian Xunji spoke, he walked behind Yue Guan and suddenly chopped Yue Guan on the neck with a hand chop, knocking Yue Guan unconscious.
"Let him rest well; he should recover when he wakes up."
"yes!"
Ghost quickly stepped forward and helped Yue Guan to bed.
"You keep an eye on him! I'm going out for a stroll!" Qianxunji said casually.
The ghostly figure looked troubled. "Your Holiness, perhaps I should go with you!"
"Yue Guan needs someone to take care of him," Qian Xunji said. "Besides, with my current strength, no one can do anything to me!"
That's all.
Qian Xunji then left.
He wandered around the city.
At this moment, he saw the brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao appear, accompanied by several disciples of the Haotian Sect.
The most eye-catching of them all was the young woman who was constantly playing around behind the Tang brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, and her every move exuded elegance.
"Yuehua, I didn't expect you to be leading the team down the mountain this time," Tang Hao said.
Tang Xiao asked, "Yuehua, how has Father been lately?"
Tang Yuehua said, "That's great! I'm so happy to hear about you two."
"Yes! Brother Hao and Brother Xiao are famous throughout the mainland. Some people call them the Twin Stars of Haotian!"
"Yes, yes! I heard that too. When we came down the mountain this time, everyone who saw that we were from the Haotian Sect praised Brother Hao and Brother Xiao!"
...
The disciples of the Haotian Sect behind them kept echoing their sentiments, which made Tang Hao and Tang Xiao smile continuously.
"Brother, where are you planning to go next?" Tang Yuehua asked.
Tang Xiao said, "Of course, we should continue to train!"
Tang Hao said, "Brother, I plan to challenge the younger generation of the major powers on the continent!"
"Brother Hao is awesome! Brother Xiao is awesome!"
"Brother Hao is awesome! Brother Xiao is awesome!"
"Brother Hao is awesome! Brother Xiao is awesome!"
...
Surrounded by a group of Haotian Sect disciples, the two continued walking forward, completely unaware of Qian Xunji observing them from the side.
"It's so good to be young!"
Qianxunji said calmly.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao are both still young and vigorous. Tang Xiao doesn't have to worry about the survival of the sect, and Tang Hao hasn't suffered setbacks and become a slovenly old man.
night.
When Qian Xunji returned, Yue Guan had just woken up.
How long did I sleep?
Yue Guan covered his head and asked in confusion.
The ghostly voice said, "One day!"
"It's been so long!" Yue Guan said slowly.
Qianxun exclaimed, "You're awake? It seems you've returned to normal!"
"Thank you, Your Holiness, for your trouble!" Yue Guan said respectfully.
Qianxun laughed and said, "I understand. Anyone would feel the same way if something you've been searching for for decades suddenly appeared."
"Yue Guan, you've waited for decades, what's another ten years?" the ghostly figure comforted him.
Yue Guan nodded, returning to her usual self.
A few days later.
Qian Xunji and the others then slowly walked towards the Spirit Hall.
"The Spirit Hall is really something, why are they rushing us? Can't the Holy Maiden handle affairs while I'm not here?"
Qianxunji expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Your Holiness, it must be something urgent!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei didn't dare to say anything more, and could only say this.
Not long after.
The group appeared in an unnamed village outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
"roar!!"
Suddenly a roar came from the direction where the sound came from. Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
"A soul beast?!"
"Oh no! Soul beasts have attacked the village!"
"Run!"
The villagers panicked and immediately ran away into the distance.
The next moment.
A giant bear came charging in, and wherever it passed, houses collapsed and buildings crumbled.
"With bloodshot eyes, this giant bear has gone mad."
Yue Guan spoke up.
"roar!!!"
The giant bear roared again.
A woman carrying a child who was trying to escape was knocked to the ground by the roar, and the giant bear was about to attack the two of them.
Qian Xunji suddenly stepped in front of the two of them, blocking the giant bear's claws with a single palm strike.
"You beast! Instead of staying in the Star Dou Forest, you dare to come out and harm the villagers?!"
"roar!"
The giant bear, which had been in a frenzied state, instantly regained its senses, and the blood red in its eyes quickly dissipated.
It could clearly sense the terror of the person in front of it. Although Qian Xunji did not release his martial spirit, he suppressed the giant bear with his aura alone!
The giant bear's body trembled uncontrollably, its mouth slightly open, emitting a low growl.
"roar..."
Qian Xunji suddenly looked towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest, where a figure quickly hid, seemingly afraid of being discovered.
Qian Xunji then remembered that Tang Hao and A Yin had met here!
The giant bear and the child are now missing the two brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
Are you alright?
Tang Hao's voice rang out from behind them.
All done!
Suddenly, Qian Xunji kicked out, and the giant bear let out a miserable cry. It flew through the air and crashed heavily into the Star Dou Forest.
