When the Fallen Angel Moved, the Continent Was Shocked

Qian Xunjie had not yet put away the intelligence when a shout came from outside the hall—

"Your Eminence the Pope, a message has arrived from the Great Enshrined!"

Hmm?

A puzzled look appeared in Qian Xunjie's eyes.

Hadn't his father taken Xue'er to obtain a Spirit Ring?

Why was he sending him another message?

"Come in!"

The Spirit Douluo hurried into the hall.

Seeing how anxious he was, Qian Xunjie felt a sense of foreboding rise within him.

The Spirit Douluo truthfully reported what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qian Xunjie's expression grew uglier the more he heard.

His old father had been looking after his child, only to lose the child!

Of course, he did not dare blame his old father.

He did not even dare speak too harshly to the Spirit Douluo before him!

He was afraid his old father would find out and think he was deeply dissatisfied and held a grudge.

But Your Eminence the Pope's anger had to be vented somewhere.

So—

"What an innately wicked Fallen Angel!"

"Damn Lucifer!"

Lord Lucifer received another sincere greeting!

Next, the Spirit Douluo relayed Qian Daoliu's request for support.

Qian Xunjie agreed without hesitation.

Even though such a move would cause a huge stir, huge enough to alarm the Two Great Empires and the Seven Great Sects!

Before long, the Papal Decree was issued.

When Porcupine Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and the other Spirit Hall elders received it, every one of them was utterly shocked!

"What? The Young Master was actually lost in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"How could this happen?"

"Wasn't the Great Enshrined the one who took the Young Master there?"

"Could it be because of that Second Spirit?"

"..."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, then headed together to Bibi Dong's residence without a word.

"What?" Bibi Dong, who had been cultivating, raised her head in surprise upon hearing the news.

Though she had always been cold and distant toward Qian Renxue, her heart still clenched at the news!

That was the Star Dou Great Forest!

She herself had nearly died there in her younger days!

Even so, she took the chance to sneer, "The Qian Family really is full of unreliable people!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei hurriedly lowered their heads. They did not dare show the slightest hint of agreement.

"Then... is the Holy Maiden going too?" Yue Guan asked tentatively.

Bibi Dong fell silent for a while before hardening her heart. "No!"

Aside from it being her usual manner, she also felt that with so many people from Spirit Hall going, one more person would make no difference.

What she did not know was that Qian Renxue was sleeping soundly in Ah Rou's embrace and had yet to wake up!

Yue Guan and Gui Mei could only take their leave.

They could not treat the Papal Decree as meaningless nonsense the way Bibi Dong did.

The Spirit Douluo who had returned to deliver the message did not dare rest. Without stopping, he hurried to the Elder Hall.

The Papal Decree held no authority over the Elder Hall; only the Great Enshrined's order would do!

"Second Worship, Third Enshrined..."

"Something terrible has happened!"

"..."

After Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and the others learned of it, they lost their usual composure as well.

Every one of them became deeply anxious!

The group of Titled Douluo in the Elder Hall had all watched Qian Renxue grow up.

Most of them were lonely old men, and in their hearts, they treated Qian Renxue as their own granddaughter!

Thus, Lord Lucifer once again received heartfelt greetings—

"Damn Lucifer!"

Just like that, the entire Spirit Hall sprang into action!

One powerful Soul Master after another left Spirit City and rushed toward the Star Dou Great Forest!

The Titled Douluo of the Elder Hall did not wait for anyone else. The moment they heard the news, they flew off at once!

Afterward, Qian Xunjie also hurriedly set out in person with a group of Titled Douluo, Spirit Douluo, and Spirit Saints.

Soul Masters at the Spirit Saint level and above were more efficient when operating alone in the Star Dou Great Forest, and they could search deeper within it.

That was why Qian Daoliu had specifically requested their support.

Some people had not yet arrived, but Qian Xunjie did not wait for them. He only left an order for those behind to hurry and catch up.

Though Qian Daoliu had not mentioned it, Qian Xunjie still mobilized a group of Spirit Emperors and Spirit Kings to search the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for weaker Soul Masters, he did not summon a single one.

They would need to move in groups in the Star Dou Great Forest, making them terribly inefficient. They would be nothing but deadweight.

Every Soul Master carried a portrait of Qian Renxue.

Quite a few of them had resolved to seize this opportunity to render great merit!

Such a huge commotion naturally could not be hidden from outsiders.

The spies left in Spirit City by the Two Great Empires, the Seven Great Sects, and other forces learned the news immediately.

One after another, they released swift messenger birds to notify the forces behind them.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunjie knew that word getting out would be somewhat embarrassing.

But how could face compare to the only heir of three generations?

Thus, Lucifer's abduction of Qian Renxue set off a chain reaction, gradually affecting all the top powers across Douluo Continent!

Yet the center of this storm was peaceful at the moment!

In the Star Dou Great Forest, sunlight fell across Qian Renxue's face and woke her.

She opened her eyes, saw that the person beside her was still there, and smiled happily.

"You're awake!" Ah Rou said with a smile. "After breakfast, we'll continue on our way!"

"Mm!"

It was another unforgettable breakfast!

A day and a half later, Ah Rou finally led Qian Renxue out of the Star Dou Great Forest!

"We're finally out!" Ah Rou said brightly.

"To the east of the Star Dou Great Forest is the Starflare Duchy!"

"Starflare City, the largest city in the Starflare Duchy, is nearby!"

"There's a Spirit Hall Main Hall there. We can reach it this afternoon!"

"Then you'll be able to go home!"

But Qian Renxue was not nearly as happy.

Ah Rou did not want to expose herself, so she would not return to Spirit Hall with her!

That meant she would have to part with Ah Rou!

Qian Renxue lowered her head and murmured, "Will we ever meet again?"

"This..." Ah Rou was not very willing to become too entangled with Spirit Hall's Young Master.

"If fate wills it, we'll meet again someday!"

Qian Renxue's expression darkened.

She understood that it was a very tactful way of saying no.

On the road to Starflare City, neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere was no longer as warm as before!

Ah Rou could not bear it, but she could only harden her heart!

After all, this concerned her safety and life!

Seeing this, Lucifer thought a little more highly of Ah Rou.

"Though she's overly kind, at least she has some sense!"

However, Lucifer did not think Ah Rou would get her wish.

Because Qian Renxue would definitely not forget her!

Soon, Ah Rou brought Qian Renxue to Starflare City.

Before entering the city, Ah Rou carefully disguised herself and hid her true face.

Yet her temperament still remained exceptional!

The two arrived at a street corner near the Spirit Hall Main Hall in Starflare City.

"Go on! Once you get there, you'll be able to contact your family!" Ah Rou gestured for Qian Renxue to go over.

But Qian Renxue did not move.

Only after Ah Rou urged her again did she slowly begin walking over.

Watching her figure gradually approach the Spirit Hall Main Hall, Ah Rou turned away with relief.

"Mom!" Qian Renxue suddenly turned back and called out.

"Mm?" Ah Rou turned around to look.

Although she had previously promised Xiao Wu to correct Qian Renxue's form of address, Qian Renxue had not called her Mom again afterward.

So Ah Rou had felt too embarrassed to bring it up.

Now, at the moment of parting, Qian Renxue called her that again, and Ah Rou did not intend to say anything.

After all, she believed this would be the last time!

"Will you remember me?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I will!" Ah Rou answered without hesitation.

Qian Renxue gave a radiant smile and turned to walk into the Spirit Hall Main Hall.

Ah Rou, too, soon vanished into the crowd.
