Qian Renxue's Tangled Love and Hate; Blazing Sun Douluo!

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's answer, the Golden Haired Holy Son's expression suddenly stiffened! The Xuanyuan Sword, the Sword of Holy Dao, Mountains and Rivers Shatter with a single strike and Sky Shattering with a single strike. It is indeed a super Martial Soul that is far more powerful than the Clear Sky Hammer.

Even Qian Renxue's God-Bestowed Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, is far inferior to the Xuanyuan Sword. Calling it the number one weapon Martial Soul in the world is indeed not an exaggeration.

But the problem is, the Xuanyuan Sword is Zhou Chen's Martial Soul!

Why is Qian Renxue, that psychologically twisted and ruthless girl, bringing up Zhou Chen again?

These days, whenever Qian Renxue negotiates with members of the Holy Spirit Church, she inevitably brings up Zhou Chen in the process.

Although she referred to Zhou Chen as an enemy in her words, even if he is an enemy, it's not appropriate to keep bringing him up all the time!

This made the Golden Haired Holy Son very wary.

To be honest, the main reason he decided to form an alliance with Qian Renxue that he wanted to become a true friend with her through continuous contact, and eventually win her heart over time.

Simply put, he coveted Qian Renxue's strength, background, and looks.

However, Qian Renxue's constant mention of Zhou Chen made the Golden Haired Holy Son very uneasy, as if it were a thorn in his side.

When a woman keeps mentioning a man, it often indicates that she has special feelings for him, or even that she has developed feelings for him.

Even if the woman spoke with a tone full of hatred and disgust. As the saying goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child!" Therefore, the Golden Haired Holy Son had always suspected that Qian Renxue's feelings for Zhou Chen were not pure and that she harbored other kinds of affection.

Otherwise, why would Qian Renxue specifically mention the Xuanyuan Sword today, instead of any other Martial Soul?

Thinking of this, a flash of annoyance appeared in the Golden Haired Holy Son's eyes.

This Zhou Chen not only repeatedly thwarted his plans, but also tried to compete with him for women, becoming his rival in love! No, perhaps he can't even be considered a rival in love.

Because Zhou Chen never actively pursued Qian Renxue, it was Qian Renxue who kept looking for opportunities to get close to Zhou Chen, which could be considered Qian Renxue's unrequited love.

And he, the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, has spent so many days racking his brains to please Qian Renxue, even going so far as to mobilize the seven remaining elders of the Holy Spirit Cult to besiege Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, all in order to avenge Qian Renxue's father's death and make her have a better impression of him.

And what happened? This damned woman remained Bingbing to him, showing no gratitude whatsoever for killing Tang Hao. Instead, she kept bringing up Zhou Chen, as if Zhou Chen were the one who avenged her father's death! All of this fueled the Golden Haired Holy Son's rage. His jealousy and resentment towards Zhou Chen, and his dissatisfaction and malice towards Qian Renxue, reached their peak! Finally managing to suppress his jealousy and hatred, the Golden Haired Holy Son took a deep breath, looked directly at Qian Renxue, and reminded her, "Your Highness, Zhou Chen is our common enemy. Your constant mention of an enemy makes my Holy Spirit Church uneasy."

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue glanced coldly at the Golden Haired Holy Son with her phoenix eyes and said in an even colder tone, "The enemy deserves more respect. Zhou Chen is as wise as the sea, astonishingly strong, and a master strategist who can win battles from afar. Of course, I must always keep him in mind so that I may have a chance to defeat him!"

After a pause, Qian Renxue suddenly sneered and said disdainfully, "What, are you scared?"

"You think I'm afraid of Zhou Chen? What a joke!"

The Golden Haired Holy Son's expression changed, and he said with bluster, "I dared to kill even Clear Sky Douluo, would I be afraid of a mere Zhou Chen?"

"Oh, really?"

Qian Renxue's lips curled into a mocking smile as she said, "Your Holy Spirit Church has fought several battles against Zhou Chen's Purple Micro Palace, and each time you have suffered a crushing defeat with heavy casualties. More than half of your Holy Spirit Elders, who are at the Title Douluo level, have been killed or wounded. Do you dare to say you are not afraid of Zhou Chen?"

"You..."

After being relentlessly mocked by Qian Renxue, the Golden Haired Holy Son finally couldn't contain his anger. He abruptly stood up, his face flushed, and said, "Qian Renxue, we're allies now. Show me some respect!"

"Respect must be built on strength, and at the very least, one must have some brains."

Looking at the furious Golden Haired Holy Son before her, Qian Renxue sneered, "Whether in strength or intelligence, you are far inferior to Zhou Chen. Look at the actions of your Holy Spirit Church; you are like rats in a gutter. To ally with your Holy Spirit Church Sect is a disgrace to my Spirit Hall!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Haired Holy Son felt a surge of anger rush to his head, and his entire head began to go numb.

To be insulted like this by the woman he liked, and to be compared to Zhou Chen, rendering him utterly worthless—how could he, with his proud and arrogant nature, possibly tolerate this?

In an instant, a cluster of dark, blackish-green flames flashed in the eyes of the Golden Haired Holy Son! This was his Natal Heart Fire, which even a super strong expert at the titled Douluo level could not get rid of if they were accidentally touched by it. They could only cut off their hands if their hands were touched, and their feet if their feet were touched, otherwise they would surely be reduced to ashes!

"You want to fight?"

Seeing the Golden Haired Holy Son's killing intent emanating from him, Qian Renxue remained completely calm, still sitting there, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Have you thought it through? If you attack me, you are declaring war on my Spirit Hall!"

Before she finished speaking, nine dazzling Soul Ring immediately rose from the feet Douluo the two Spirit Hall Title Snake Lance behind Qian Renxue, Pufferfish, and a vast amount of Soul Power condensed in their bodies.

The intimidation of the two Title Douluo was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, instantly extinguishing the burning anger of the Golden Haired Holy Son, and calming him down once more.

Although with his current strength, he is capable of fighting against two Title Douluo at the same time, plus Qian Renxue, who possesses the Angel Spirit.

But turning against the Spirit Hall now would only benefit Zhou Chen, which is not in his best interest.

"Call..."

Letting out a long sigh of relief, the Golden Haired Holy Son sat down again, looking at the composed Qian Renxue, and coldly said, "Your Highness, you may disrespect our Holy Spirit Church, but you'd better not provoke me further. We can expose your impersonation of Xue Qinghe and your poisoning of three Imperial Son of the Heaven Dou Empire to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family at any time."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly. The reason she had previously allied with the Holy Spirit Church was because she feared that the Holy Spirit Church would expose the matter, causing the Spirit Hall's ten-year plan to fail.

"Alright, let's put aside the argument for now and talk about how to deal with the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect."

Qian Renxue's tone softened on her own, and she spoke slowly.

Seeing that Qian Renxue had compromised, the Golden Haired Holy Son breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "As I just said, only if your Spirit Hall sends more than ten Title Douluo will we have a chance to annihilate the Clear Sky Sect."

"And what about your Holy Spirit Church? How many people do you plan to send?"

Qian Renxue asked tentatively.

According to the Spirit Hall's intelligence, after the battle of Heaven Dou City, the Holy Spirit Church only had seven Title Douluo left. A few days ago, the Holy Spirit Church besieged Tang Hao again, and there should have been considerable casualties as well, otherwise they wouldn't have failed to take Tang Hao's body away.

She wanted to use the remaining strength of the Blood Soul Master so that she could destroy them at the right time.

"Although our Holy Spirit Church is large and powerful, most of our elders are needed to guard the main altar and branch altars in various places, making it inconvenient for them to act together. Therefore, we can only send three Title Douluo."

The Golden Haired Holy Son spoke ambiguously.

Currently, the Holy Spirit Church only has five Title Douluo left, one of whom is the Holy Spirit Church leader, so its manpower is extremely limited.

Sending three Title Douluo to fight now is just putting on a brave face, and also to avoid Qian Renxue discovering the truth.

"Three people?" Qian Renxue murmured, then nodded, her tone enigmatic. "Three it is then. We'll discuss the timing of our attack on the Clear Sky Sect tomorrow. You may leave now."

Upon hearing such a rude order to leave, the Golden Haired Holy Son remained silent for a moment, his heart filled with resentment and hatred, yet he dared not retaliate. He could only transform into a green flame and disappear from the hall.

This is the Fire Escape Technique he has mastered.

Seeing that the Golden Haired Holy Son had left, Qian Renxue stood up from the wicker chair and said disdainfully, "A toad Swan meat? He should take a piss and look in the mirror."

She knew perfectly well what this Holy Spirit Church's Holy Son's purpose was in approaching her, and she had long been annoyed with this delusional fool.

I'm not even Swan, I'm an angel! You toad, you think you're worthy to eat me?

Zhou Chen is more like it!

Thinking of Zhou Chen, Qian Renxue suddenly felt a strange pang of sadness. She muttered to herself, "I wonder what that guy Zhou Chen is doing now? Hmm, probably entangled with Xue Ke."

After a pause, Qian Renxue suddenly remembered something, her expression changing as she said, "Pah, why bring him up? That scoundrel! With so many women, he still dared to seduce Tang Yuehua! And today he even dared to curse me!"

Qian Renxue's mutterings caused the two Spirit Hall elders behind her, Snake Lance and Pufferfish, to exchange a glance and look at each other in bewilderment.

They weren't fools; on the contrary, the two men, both over eighty years old, were extremely astute. They could naturally see that Qian Renxue's feelings for Zhou Chen seemed to... be a little special! This was not a good sign.

"Young Master, do we really need to mobilize more than ten Title Douluo to besiege the Clear Sky Sect?"

The Snake Spear Douluo, whose forehead was marked with golden patterns, frowned and asked.

He asked the question at this moment mainly to prevent Qian Renxue from thinking about Zhou Chen.

"Uh... of course not."

Coming to her senses, Qian Renxue shook her head and said, "If we wipe out the Clear Sky Sect now, wouldn't that be alerting them? If we're going to deal with them, we should deal with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School first."

"Young Master, you just promised the Holy Son the Holy Spirit Church..." asked the Porcupinefish Douluo, who was standing to the side, with a puzzled look.

"Saying one thing and doing another, are they the same thing?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and said in a sinister tone, "If I don't agree to this idiot's request, how can I possibly fool the Holy Spirit Church into leading the charge for us?"

Pufferfish: "..."

Snake Lance: "..."

At the same time.

Hanhai Grand Hotel.

The living room of a hotel room was packed with more than twenty people, almost all of whom were young and middle-aged men dressed in gray clothes, except for two elderly men with white hair and beards.

These twenty-odd people were the Clear Sky Sect members that Tang Yuehua had mentioned, who had come to collect Tang Hao's body.

"Tang Long, you said you saw Zhou Chen today?"

A thin, elderly man spoke in a calm tone.

"Yes, Elder, this evening, Tang Hu and I saw Zhou Chen at the entrance of the Moon Pavilion. He was invited by Aunt Moonlight to attend Moon Pavilion's graduation ceremony."

A young man with broad shoulders, a straight nose, and a square mouth, who looked to be around thirty years old, said respectfully.

If Zhou Chen were to see this person, he would definitely recognize him as one of the two Clear Sky School Disciples he met at the entrance of the Moon Pavilion tonight.

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing Tang Long's answer, the other kind-faced old man pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know if Moonlight negotiated with Zhou Chen to have Tang Hao's remains handed over to our Clear Sky Sect?"

"This... we should have discussed it by now."

Tang Hu, standing to the side, scratched his head and said somewhat sheepishly, "After the graduation ceremony, Aunt Moonlight took Zhou Chen to the fifth floor. The two of them closed the door, and I don't know what they said inside. I only know that they were alone together..."

"Smack!"

Before Tang Hu could finish speaking, Tang Long slapped his foolish younger brother on the head, interrupting him.

Are you kidding me? Can you just say things like that? What do you mean by "actively bringing Zhou Chen along, closing the door, and being alone together"? Isn't that implying that their aunt, Tang Yuehua, deliberately seduced Zhou Chen, a man and woman alone together? And to take it a step further, have the people of the Clear Sky Sect stooped so low that they have to resort to seduction to get things done? Then aren't all the men of the Clear Sky Sect cowards, pimps in brothels?

Sure enough, upon hearing Tang Hu's words, everyone present frowned, and the faces of the two Clear Sky Sect elders darkened considerably.

For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent, the atmosphere incredibly awkward.

"Cough cough..."

After a long silence, the gaunt old man known as the Seventh Elder cleared his throat, looked at Tang Hu, who seemed a bit slow-witted, and scolded, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

"But, Seventh Elder, I'm telling the truth."

Tang Hu remained oblivious, clearly unaware of his own problem.

"Shut up!"

The Seventh Elder roared, startling Tang Hu into immediately shutting up, and everyone around him shrank back.

There was no way around it. As one of the titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, the Seventh Elder's Soul Power attribute was fire. He also lost his son in his old age and had an exceptionally volatile temper. His temperament could be seen from the words "Blazing Sun" in his title.

Throughout the entire Clear Sky Sect, from top to bottom, apart from the sect leader and a few other elders, there was no one who was not afraid of him.

Seeing that his words had silenced the juniors, the Seventh Elder nodded in satisfaction and continued, "We'll go to the Moon Pavilion tomorrow and ask Moonlight how things went. If Zhou Chen has already given Tang Hao's body to her, we'll take the body back to the sect."

"What if Zhou Chen didn't give Tang Hao's body to Auntie?"

Tang Long frowned and asked.

"Then let's go directly to Zhou Chen and tell him that if Tang Hao's remains are not returned, our Clear Sky Sect will never let this go!"
