Di Tian's Departure

Di Tian's Departure

Just as Qian Gu Die Ting and Leng Yang Jun were each lost in their own thoughts, Di Tian returned with Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue.

The two sides stared at each other, and the atmosphere instantly froze.

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue were unharmed, Qian Gu Die Ting immediately summoned his Coiled Dragon Staff. His aura surged to its peak as he prepared to strike at any moment, roaring, "Di Tian, release them."

Di Tian immediately understood the situation. With a cold sneer, he placed his hands atop Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue's heads and said icily, "Since that brat Huo Yuhao ascended, your Spirit Pagoda has pushed our soul beasts far too hard. If you do not give me an explanation today, these two children will spill their blood here!"

Qian Gu Die Ting's expression immediately darkened. Though he stood close to Di Tian, he was not confident he could save Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue before Di Tian made his move.

Leng Yang Jun froze the moment he saw Qian Ren Xue. With his cultivation, he could naturally tell that her bone age was only six, yet her Soul Power had already reached Level 22. Naturally, he did not believe anyone could rise more than ten levels in less than a year. That left only one possibility...

Innate Level 20 Full Soul Power!

Qian Gu Die Ting understood what that meant. How could Leng Yang Jun not?

What has that old bastard been doing behind my back?

Even so, Leng Yang Jun would not drop the ball at a time like this. He immediately entered Martial Soul Possession.

His long black hair turned a bizarre dark blue, while ghostly blue flames seemed to rise within his blue eyes. His already fair skin became even paler.

A pair of wings seemingly formed from ghostly blue flames appeared behind Leng Yang Jun. Soul Power imbued with Extreme Ice instantly spread through the air, lowering the room's temperature by several degrees.

Qian Gu Die Ting narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Di Tian, release them at once, or this old man will surely wipe out your Star Dou Great Forest!"

Di Tian paid no heed to Qian Gu Die Ting's threat. He sneered, "Are you truly not afraid that I will kill them? If the God Realm had not vanished, they both would have possessed the potential to become gods. One of them has even awakened the bloodline of the Angel God through atavism."

After hearing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu silently gave Di Tian a thumbs-up in her heart.

Though Di Tian's words sounded like a threat, he was actually emphasizing Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue's talents in another way. Even after ten thousand years, Di Tian remained one of the beings standing at the pinnacle of the continent. His words carried great credibility.

With Di Tian's endorsement, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue would also find it easier to obtain better resources.

On one hand, Qian Gu Die Ting was thrilled that his daughter and disciple's talents were so exceptional that even Di Tian acknowledged them. On the other, he was annoyed that Di Tian had revealed it before Leng Yang Jun. His plan to keep Qian Ren Xue hidden for the time being had now gone up in smoke.

Naturally, Leng Yang Jun was the most shocked of all. What Angel God bloodline? How had I not known about this?

A dangerous glint flashed through Leng Yang Jun's eyes. For the family's lasting prosperity, he had to make plans early.

Qian Gu Die Ting naturally did not dare gamble on whether Di Tian's claw was the Dragon God Claw. He put away his Coiled Dragon Staff, sighed, and said, "Speak. What do you want this old man to do?"

Di Tian removed his hands from Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue's heads and said, "I want you to swear that the Spirit Pagoda will not advance another step into the Star Dou Great Forest, nor kill any more soul beasts."

Qian Gu Die Ting did not bargain after hearing this. Instead, he immediately swore, "This old man swears upon his Martial Soul that for the rest of his life, he will never again enter the Star Dou Great Forest, nor will he ever again proactively kill any soul beast. Should I break this oath, may my Martial Soul shatter!"

Qian Gu Huang Yu felt nothing as she watched her father make such a vicious oath of Martial Soul shattering. There was no helping it. Me not entering did not mean others could not enter. Me not killing did not mean others could not kill. Besides, not acting proactively did not mean he could not defend himself legitimately! The inequality had been solved instantly.

Seeing Qian Gu Die Ting yield, Di Tian did not linger any longer. Leaving behind only the words, "Remember the oath you made today," he immediately departed.

After Di Tian left, the atmosphere immediately eased. Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue pretended to be frightened, prompting Qian Gu Die Ting to fuss over them with concern once more.

Shrek City, Leng Family residence.

Leng Yang Jun sat solemnly on a sofa made from the feathers of a ten-thousand-year Emerald Demon Bird, speaking with a woman.

The woman was very beautiful. However, unlike Gu Yuena's cold nobility or Qian Ren Xue's holiness, she possessed a more refined, graceful, and dignified temperament.

The woman was named An Huiling, a Level 96 Super Douluo. She was Leng Yang Jun's wife and the mother of Leng Yao Zhu and Leng Yulai.

Unlike the promiscuous Qian Gu Die Ting, Leng Yang Jun and An Huiling had a very loving relationship, and she was his only woman.

Unlike Qian Gu Die Ting, who was stubborn and handled every matter on his own, Leng Yang Jun would discuss problems with An Huiling, especially matters concerning the family's future.

"The Beast God Di Tian captured Xiao Yu and the Tower Master's disciple just to force the Tower Master into making such a loophole-ridden oath?" After hearing Leng Yang Jun recount what had happened, An Huiling was deeply surprised and confused.

Leng Yang Jun shook his head. "Di Tian did this to assert his presence. He knows that the era of soul beasts has already passed, so he neither would nor could push us too far. All he wants is for soul beasts to retain their final Core Flame."

An Huiling immediately understood after hearing her husband's explanation. "The Qian Gu Family has killed who knows how many soul beasts to sustain that token housing the Remnant Soul of Medusa, God of Sin. No wonder it provoked Di Tian's dissatisfaction."

"To put it bluntly, Di Tian is merely telling us that he is still alive and that we should not go too far."

If Qian Gu Huang Yu had heard Leng Yang Jun's words, she would definitely have been surprised. It had clearly only been an accident, yet they had filled in the entire story themselves.

"Enough about Di Tian. The key question now is, what should we do?" Leng Yang Jun did not wish to discuss the matter further and directly changed the subject.

The moment this topic came up, Leng Yang Jun became troubled. If Leng Yao Zhu and Leng Yulai still had a chance against Qian Gu Dong Feng and Qian Gu Qing Feng, then against Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Ren Xue, they did not even qualify to compete.

"Let it not come to a day when Xiao Yu is the Tower Master and Le Qian Xue is the Deputy Tower Master!" An Huiling voiced her concern.

"That is precisely what worries me most. I no longer expect Yao Zhu and Yulai to replace the Qian Gu Family as Tower Master of Spirit Transmission Tower. I only fear that after I retire, they will not even be able to fight for my position." Leng Yang Jun sighed.

"Perhaps you could try taking in a disciple with good talent. Hasn't the old lady also recently taken in a disciple to serve as Xiao Yu's foundation?" The old lady An Huiling referred to was naturally Bei Gong Li.
