March on Clear Sky, the Little Angel's Dependence

The day Spirit Hall had declared war on Clear Sky Sect was fast approaching.

Within Spirit Hall, at Angel Square.

Spirit Hall members clad in combat uniforms had already gathered here. As far as the eye could see, there was a vast sea of people.

Every one of them was a Soul Master.

Each of them possessed cultivation above the level of a Three Rings Soul Elder.

On the current continent, aside from Spirit Hall, no other force could mobilize so many Soul Masters at once.

Several figures stood at the very front of the ranks.

Foremost among them was Pei An, dressed in white robes.

Beside him stood Bibi Dong, while the others were the Title Douluo participating in this operation.

Including Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, Bibi Dong's two right-hand men from the Original Work.

Demon Bear Douluo from the Elder Hall.

Azure Luan Douluo, the Third Worship of the Worship Hall, whose Soul Power had reached level ninety-seven.

Including Pei An, who could defeat Sword Douluo, a Super Douluo, despite only possessing the cultivation of a Soul Douluo, they had a total of six Title Douluo-level combatants.

In the eyes of others, such a lineup was practically Spirit Hall's entire foundation.

After all, six Title Douluo were enough to crush head-on any force on the continent apart from the Two Great Empires.

Little did they know, this was not Spirit Hall's true foundation.

Spirit Hall's true foundation was even more terrifying than they imagined.

Pei An stepped before the army of Soul Masters and slowly spoke.

With the aid of Soul Power, his calm voice rang clearly in every person's ears.

"Today is the day we demand justice from Clear Sky Sect. I hope all of you will raise the swords in your hands and fight for Spirit Hall's glory!"

"Clear Sky Sect must pay for their actions!"

Pei An raised the Sword of the Living Judgement in his hand. A dazzling radiance burst from its blade and shot toward the heavens!

As his voice fell, the impassioned cries of Spirit Hall's people followed.

"Make Clear Sky Sect pay!"

"Defend Angel's Glory!"

Pei An looked at the scene before him with satisfaction.

He swung his longsword and shouted, "Move out!"

Following Pei An's command, Spirit Hall's army headed toward Clear Sky Sect in orderly formation.

Once the main force had mostly departed, Pei An was about to follow when a young girl's voice suddenly rang out.

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes. Without even looking, she could guess who had arrived.

However, she said nothing more. After quietly saying something to Pei An, she left first, giving them space.

At times, Bibi Dong found it rather irritating when Qian Renxue interrupted her private time with A'an.

But toward Qian Renxue, she felt more fondness than annoyance.

Bibi Dong was not an unreasonable person and was willing to give Qian Renxue some space.

In her view, Qian Renxue's feelings for Pei An were merely a younger sister's dependence on her older brother and posed no threat to her.

Though that dependence seemed to have become a little excessive lately, it was understandable.

After all, Qian Renxue's mother had died of illness shortly after giving birth to her, and now her father, Qian Xunji, had also fallen.

After suffering such losses one after another, it was only natural that she would be extremely dependent on Pei An, the older brother who had always stayed by her side and cared for her.

"Brother Pei!"

A petite figure suddenly threw herself into Pei An's arms.

Qian Renxue wrapped her arms around Pei An's neck, pouting her rosy little lips. "Brother Pei, I want to go too!"

Pei An hesitated.

There would be no problem with taking Qian Renxue along.

Though they claimed to be going to war with Clear Sky Sect, Pei An knew perfectly well that this would merely be a one-sided crushing battle.

Nothing unexpected would happen even if he brought her along.

Still, he had to consider Qian Daoliu's thoughts.

This girl was Qian Daoliu's precious treasure. He had to take the old man's opinion into account, or who knew whether he would go mad.

"That's fine with me, but as for the Great Worship..."

"If Xue'er wants to go, then let her come along."

Before Pei An could finish speaking, Qian Daoliu's voice came from nearby.

Qian Daoliu, dressed in the robes of the Worship Hall, slowly approached.

He had not participated in this operation to suppress Clear Sky Sect.

Qian Daoliu's stated reason was that he had an agreement with Tang Chen and would not make a move at Clear Sky Sect Mountain Gate.

But Pei An understood very well that the agreement was only one reason. The more important reason was that the old man was scared.

Before receiving confirmation that Tang Chen had completely fallen, Qian Daoliu would never take the initiative to attack Clear Sky Sect.

Otherwise, if Tang Chen came looking for trouble later, he might not be able to handle him.

Pei An did not particularly care about that.

Given Clear Sky Sect's current state, with only a few insignificant stragglers left, the outcome would be the same whether or not an Extreme Douluo like Qian Daoliu made a move.

"Since the Great Worship has said so, then Xue'er can come along." Pei An smiled as he held the petite girl in his arms.

"Brother Pei is the best!" Little Qian Renxue happily planted a kiss on Pei An's cheek, hugging him tightly without letting go or showing any intention of getting down.

Brother Pei smells the nicest. Xue'er likes Brother Pei the most!

Qian Daoliu's expression darkened at the sight.

Even he, her grandfather, had never received this much affection from Qian Renxue.

Qian Daoliu suddenly realized something was wrong.

His original intention had been for Pei An to become the sharp sword in Qian Renxue's hand in the future, clearing away all obstacles for her.

But things might now be developing in the wrong direction.

It seemed his Little Cabbage was about to give herself away for free.

Though Qian Renxue's current age could not prove anything, Qian Daoliu had to admit that if this continued, Qian Renxue would most likely give herself away in the future.

He had to admit that Pei An was almost flawless in every respect. It was only natural that he would attract girls' affection.

Forget it.

Though he was unhappy, Qian Daoliu had no intention of stopping them.

After thinking it over, Pei An truly seemed to be Xue'er's best possible choice of partner.

A Soul Douluo at nineteen—Pei An absolutely had the potential to become a god!

Qian Daoliu even suspected that Pei An had already come into contact with a Divine Inheritance.

After all, he had seen Pei An's previous soul ring configuration.

Though it had not matched the optimal soul ring ratio either, it had not been nearly as outrageous as it was now.

Other than a Divine Inheritance, Qian Daoliu could not think of any other reason why soul rings could change.

If Xue'er could truly end up together with Pei An, that would be excellent.

By then, he could even accept it if Pei An did not return the position of Pope to Qian Renxue. After all, they would be family.

The next Pope would certainly be their child.

As for age, that was even less of an issue.

In the Soul Master World, couples with age gaps of ten or twenty years were commonplace.

Moreover, both Pei An and Qian Renxue possessed the potential to become gods, so age was even less of a problem.

Noticing Qian Daoliu's strange gaze, Pei An felt his scalp tingle.

After offering a brief farewell, he brought Qian Renxue with him and caught up to the main force.

Qian Daoliu's figure vanished as he followed after them.

In the end, he still could not put his mind at ease.

If Tang Chen returned, he could at least restrain him for a while.

As for the agreement...

As long as he did not make a move, it would not count as violating the agreement.
