Persuading the Great Enshrined to Attack the Clear Sky Sect; Azure Luan Returns with the Blue Silver Emperor

"Great-Grandfather, are you planning to stop us from looking for their address?" Shi Yueyi asked cautiously.

Back then, Qian Daoliu had sparred with Tang Chen and ultimately lost by a narrow margin. From then on, they had made an agreement: no member of Spirit Hall beneath him would ever set foot on the mountain where the Clear Sky Sect resided, unless Qian Daoliu could defeat Tang Chen.

Over all these years, Qian Daoliu had faithfully honored that promise. It could even be said that he held himself to strict standards.

Otherwise, he could have personally gone to the Clear Sky Sect's territory and forced them to hand over Tang Hao.

"Since you are someone Little Xue trusts, I won't keep anything from you." A faint smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face. "Although I do not know where you came from, I believe in you, and I believe in Little Xue's judgment."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue could not help feeling secretly pleased.

Naturally, Qian Daoliu could also see the talent within Little Shiyue.

"At the Clear Sky Sect, there is a Peerless Douluo whose strength has reached Rank Ninety-Nine. He may currently be advancing toward the legendary Heaven-Defying Hundred Levels." Qian Daoliu said, "He possesses extraordinary talent. If he were to make a move, he would likely bring you immeasurable danger."

"Great-Grandfather, what is your cultivation level?" Shi Yueyi asked curiously.

"I..." Qian Daoliu hesitated, then said helplessly, "The same as his. But for certain reasons, I may remain at this point for the rest of my life."

"So that is why you fear him?"

Qian Daoliu smiled at the little girl before him, not angered in the slightest.

"It is not fear. It is because when I sparred with him before, I lost by a slight margin. Thus, I promised him that unless I defeated him, none of my brothers or sisters besides myself would set foot on the Clear Sky Sect."

Shi Yueyi scratched her head. "I do not really understand this Heaven-Defying Hundred Levels you mentioned, but I have heard of godhood. That Peerless Douluo must be trying to break through to godhood, right?"

Qian Daoliu was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

Heaven-Defying Hundred Levels was generally how ordinary soul masters among the common people described Rank One Hundred.

Since gods had not appeared on the Douluo Continent for far, far too long, and the Angel Family was not particularly fond of "preaching," it was unlike later generations, when everyone knew of the Sea God.

"Say whatever you want to say." Qian Daoliu looked at Shi Yueyi kindly.

"I once heard Brother Xue say that in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, she had to run around dealing with all sorts of relationships. At the time, I was thinking, wasn't she tired?" Shi Yueyi secretly glanced at Qian Renxue.

"But later, she said that once one reached her position, some relationships became difficult to define. The most important thing was that the relationship between the Eastern Palace and the residences of other generals, commanders, and civil officials would inevitably outweigh personal relationships." Shi Yueyi said. "For example, if someone wanted to harm the Eastern Palace, then no matter how close their relationship had once been, it had to be abandoned."

Qian Daoliu smiled. "Those are trivial matters of mortal imperial families. They cannot be entirely equated with the world of soul masters."

"I am not saying they are exactly the same, only that it is an analogy." Shi Yueyi said seriously. "Great-Grandfather, what do you think a god is?"

A trace of reverence flickered in Qian Daoliu's eyes. "It is a goal that every soul master yearns for after reaching a certain realm. And to me, it is also a responsibility."

"When I was young, I heard stories about the Angel God during ancient times." Shi Yueyi said with a smile. "It was practically a magnificent epic!"

Hearing that someone still knew the history of the Angel Family, Qian Daoliu could not help revealing a proud smile.

"An organization without unity is like a council. Those advocating war speak with impassioned fervor, while those advocating peace sneer coldly. For the Angel God Ancestor to unite humanity and launch a battle against the oppression of soul beasts and the mischief of the Fallen Ones, the God Ancestor must have been an iron-fisted leader!" Shi Yueyi said.

"Strong, yet compassionate toward her fellow humans."

"All right, stop praising her. I already know most of what you are saying." Qian Daoliu said.

Yet his eyes clearly said, Praise her more. Keep praising her.

"The peace on the Douluo Continent today can be considered a gift from the Angel God Ancestor. As descendants sheltered by her legacy, can we truly stand by and do nothing when we see someone slaughtering innocent people across the continent?" Shi Yueyi gazed at him with sparkling eyes.

Qian Daoliu: "..."

Qian Renxue thought, That was wonderfully said.

"I understand." Qian Daoliu murmured.

"As a senior who keeps his promises and values martial virtue, you understood my reckless words so quickly." Shi Yueyi raised a thumbs-up. "You truly are a highly respected old man!"

For a moment, Qian Daoliu could not tell whether this little girl was praising him or stabbing him with her words.

"I need to consider this." Qian Daoliu said solemnly.

"Our continent, and the relatively peaceful life we have now, were brought about by the Angel God Ancestor." Shi Yueyi said. "Perhaps she still has descendants somewhere on this continent. If so, then her descendants are her face."

She sighed inwardly. It seemed she had no choice but to use her trump card.

"What do you mean?" Qian Daoliu indeed frowned.

"Gods have the duty to establish the order of the world. They cannot be constrained by human nature, much less allow certain principles to waver. If one is bound by such things, abandoning what ought to be done for the sake of what one thinks should be done..."

Shi Yueyi paused, then continued.

"Therefore, following effective truth is what is right, rather than allowing imagined morality or one-sided claims to hinder your steps."

Shi Yueyi still wore a smile, but her words stirred waves within Qian Daoliu's heart.

That was right. He had been too reasonable.

But he had forgotten his other identity now—

Spirit Hall's Adjudication Elder.

It was a cruel position.

Anyone who posed a threat to Spirit Hall was on the Adjudication Elder's kill list.

Yet Qian Daoliu had been wavering over this matter.

It could only be said that, in Shi Yueyi's view, aside from certain uncontrollable factors she had guessed at, every person in Spirit Hall perhaps bore some degree of responsibility for its eventual failure.

Just then, a voice came from nearby.

"Big... Brother?"

Everyone turned to look and discovered that it was the Third Worship Elder, Qing Luan Douluo.

"Big Brother, why have you come out of seclusion too?" A trace of delighted surprise appeared on Qing Luan Douluo's face.

Wonderful. He had still been agonizing over whether to send the captured Blue Silver Emperor seed and the confiscated Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to the Worship Hall!

Now the Great Enshrined had come himself!

"This old man came to see Little Xue!" Qian Daoliu said irritably. "You lot left behind a note and ran off. You truly do not take my words to heart."

Radiant Feather Douluo spoke up at the right moment. "Big Brother, prolonged seclusion may not necessarily bring a breakthrough. We merely came out to relax, and perhaps find more opportunities."

"Really?" Qian Daoliu glanced sideways at Radiant Feather Douluo.

"I can prove it." Qing Luan Douluo stopped beside the round table, then took out the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone and seed and placed them before everyone.

"This, this is??" Qian Daoliu's eyes immediately lit up.

Well, this was perfect. While he had not known, these people had already dug up Tang Hao's wife...

What else was there to say? They could only fight.
