Murderous Intent Arose! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"Qianhai, do you think Uncle and Auntie like tea?"

In a luxury shop in the large city closest to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhu Zhuqing picked up a tin of tea that looked very expensive and looked at Jiang Qianhai.

"I think this brand of tea is pretty good."

Jiang Qianhai took the tea tin, turned it over and examined it. Looking at the intact leaves and their lustrous color, he nodded.

"Let's buy it."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled and handed the tin of tea to the attendant waiting at the side.

"Oh, right. Is it Uncle who likes tea, or Auntie?"

Jiang Qianhai rubbed the tip of his nose. "I do."

The corner of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes at him.

"You really are something. We agreed we were buying gifts for Uncle and Auntie, and then there's you."

Jiang Qianhai chuckled, then picked up a knife shaped a bit like a small claw blade. "Let's choose this. My old man loves meat. He can use this to pick at bones while gnawing on them. It's pretty practical."

Hearing this, the attendant at the side had a twitch at the corner of her mouth. They were a luxury store; they sold luxury goods. Who came to a luxury store looking for practicality?

Although this knife was indeed better quality than an ordinary knife, the gemstones embedded in it would cry if they got smeared with grease!

Zhu Zhuqing came over and looked at it too. Feeling that Jiang Qianhai made sense, she took it without hesitation.

The attendant could not help but glance regretfully at the knife priced at one hundred Gold Soul Coins.

How pitiful. It was going to be used like that.

"Let's buy this too."

Zhu Zhuqing picked up a Mithril Hairpin. After looking it over and feeling it was nice, she handed it to the attendant.

"This, this, and that one too. Pack them together."

After that, Zhu Zhuqing chose a few more small items. After all, it had been so long since they last met, and this was her first time giving gifts, so of course she had to prepare plenty.

Once everything was packed, Zhu Zhuqing put the pile of exquisite gift boxes straight into her Storage Ring.

After leaving the luxury shop, Zhu Zhuqing looked at all kinds of delicious food along the street, and the urge to buy, buy, buy rose in her again.

She thought that gourmet food was an indispensable part of a gift too, right?

So she was about to pull Jiang Qianhai over for a look.

"Not good!"

Just then, Jiang Qianhai's expression changed sharply. After hurriedly saying, "Wait for me," his hands began forming seals. Purple light flashed, and in the next moment, he vanished from Zhu Zhuqing's side.

Now Zhu Zhuqing no longer felt like continuing to shop. If something could make Jiang Qianhai so anxious that he did not even have time to explain, it could only be something extremely important.

"How worrying."

What on earth had happened?

But there was nothing she could do. Helpless, she could only find a hotel at random and stay there for the time being.

The only thing she could do now was pray for Jiang Qianhai.

Harvest Village.

The white flames burned the Soul Emperor to ash, then disappeared.

But the remaining people all stared in horror at Old Jiang, who also looked utterly bewildered.

One had to know, that had been a Soul Emperor!

Strength like that counted as upper-middle-level combat power even in the empire, yet he had died just like that!

He had died so suddenly, without the slightest ability to resist!

This completely incomprehensible way of dying made the remaining people extremely wary.

Old Jiang came back to his senses and touched his unharmed body, still finding it hard to believe.

That white fire came out of me?

Since when was I this powerful?

No, that definitely wasn't my strength. But what exactly was it?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind. He remembered the protective charms his son had given him and his wife.

At the time, his son had repeatedly warned them over and over that they had to carry them at all times!

After remembering, he quickly felt for the protective charm at his chest. Sure enough, one was missing!

Good thing... there were still more than twenty left. He had never expected his son to have this kind of ability!

No, he had this kind of ability and actually hid it from his old man!

He really was an unfilial son!

Once he understood the reason, Old Jiang was no longer so nervous. He looked calmly at those so-called men of the First Prince.

In truth, the moment Jiang Qianhai gained strength, he had arranged sub-flames of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire for his parents to use in self-defense. It could be said that the Soul Emperor had not simply been burned to ash.

He had been frozen first, and only then reduced to ashes.

As for triggering the sub-flames, there were two ways: passive and active. The criteria were, first, hostility and Soul Power, and second, Old Jiang's own will to resist.

On top of that, after Jiang Qianhai's many later enhancements, each sub-flame could easily kill a Soul Saint. If several were activated together, even a Soul Douluo would die.

Although the leader feared Old Jiang's mysterious methods, he felt that things could not go on like this. His gaze instantly hardened, and he said coldly, "Attack together! I refuse to believe that someone who isn't even a Soul Master can use that kind of attack again!"

The four Soul Emperors hesitated briefly, but after the leader glared at them, they charged at Old Jiang from four directions.

After all, they could not guarantee Old Jiang no longer had that method. By splitting up in four directions, even if he still had it, surely he would not have four of them, right?

It was at least a little safer that way.

At that moment, surrounded by four Soul Emperors, Old Jiang could not help swallowing. He muttered inwardly.

You brat! Your old man's life depends on you now! You'd better be reliable!

Just as the four Soul Emperors' attacks were about to land on Old Jiang—

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

A visible barrier wrapped around Old Jiang. The four Soul Emperors' attacks struck it without raising the slightest ripple.

"What!"

While the Soul Emperors felt relieved, they were also extremely shocked. They had not expected him to have yet another method!

Was he really just a Soul Scholar?

"What is this now?"

"I refuse to believe this nonsense!"

Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul Avatar!

Sixth Spirit Ability, Shattering Thousand Rocks!

The leader was furious. He directly unleashed his spirit abilities, erupting with Soul Saint-level power as he attacked the barrier.

"How can this be!"

But his attack did not shake the barrier in the slightest.

The leader stared at his right hand in disbelief.

"What kind of method is this, exactly?"

Then a trace of fervor appeared in his eyes. If this kind of method belonged to him...

Before his fantasy could end, a vast pressure forced him and the four Soul Emperors down to the ground.

Before he could see clearly what had happened, a scorching heat had already swallowed him.

A breeze blew past, scattering five piles of ash.

Old Jiang, meanwhile, saw the son who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and for a moment he could not react. But in the next instant, his mouth fell open.

He saw his son wave a hand, and those Soul Masters he had found terrifying turned into ash.

"Son? Is that you?"

He almost did not dare recognize his own son.

Hearing his father call out, Jiang Qianhai restrained his anger, turned around, and smiled. "Dad, what, you don't dare recognize your son?"

That familiar feeling returned. Old Jiang immediately let out a breath of relief, then slapped Jiang Qianhai on the head.

"You brat, when did you get this strong!"

"I've been strong for ages. But let's not talk about that first. What's going on here?"

Jiang Qianhai smiled and glossed over the matter, then asked who these people were.

Old Jiang then explained the whole story from beginning to end.

"Star Luo's First Prince?"

Jiang Qianhai's eyes narrowed slightly, fury surging in his heart. Did they really think he was easy to bully?

Before, he had been afraid of being unable to hide his identity.

But now, killing intent stirred within him.
