Background / History

Qian Xunji served as Pope of Martial Soul Hall and possessed a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Before his death, he fought against the rising Clear Sky Sect prodigy Tang Hao, who was then only an 84th-level Soul Douluo. Qian Xunji entered the battle as a 95th-level Titled Douluo, supported by Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the Angel Legion. 2 3

He pursued Tang Hao and Ah Yin after discovering that Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Qian Xunji demanded that Tang Hao surrender her, framing Tang Hao’s relationship with a soul beast as an unforgivable crime. 2 3

Ah Yin ultimately sacrificed herself to save Tang Hao and their infant son. Tang Hao subsequently broke through to the Titled Douluo realm and fought back with devastating force, seriously injuring Qian Xunji and the Martial Soul Hall contingent. 3 4

After returning to Martial Soul Hall, Qian Xunji secluded himself in a secret chamber to recover. Bibi Dong, then the Hall’s Saintess and his student, entered under the pretense of delivering medicine and pierced him with her external Soul Bone. She killed him in revenge for his abuse of her, including forcing her to bear a child of the Qian family. 4 5

His death was publicly attributed to Tang Hao, triggering conflict between Martial Soul Hall and the Clear Sky Sect and forcing the sect into seclusion. The Heavenly Curtain later exposed that Tang Hao had not killed him, severely damaging Martial Soul Hall’s authority. 2 5 6

• Wielded the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. 2
• Possessed nine Soul Rings as a Titled Douluo. 2
• Was later shown weakened and wounded while recuperating in a secret chamber. 4

Personality

Qian Xunji acted with authority and ruthlessness, using Martial Soul Hall’s power to pursue Ah Yin for her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone. He dismissed Tang Hao’s objections and treated the capture of Ah Yin as a matter of punishment for “colluding with Soul Beasts.” 2 3

His actions toward Bibi Dong reveal a deeply abusive abuse of power. Though Bibi Dong had regarded him as both teacher and father figure, he prevented her relationship with Yu Xiaogang and subjected her to sexual violence, creating the hatred that led to his assassination. 5
