Heavily Wounded Qian Xunji, Earthly Peerless Mobilizes

Just now, she had thought Yun Yuan was about to fight her to the death. She had never expected that everything he did had merely been to escape. That human brat had completely fooled her.

"Cunning human! Don't let me run into you again, or this Rui Beast will never let you off!"

After gritting out those words, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion began searching for her bodyguard, Scarlet King, to see whether he had killed the human who had tried to capture her.

Meanwhile, Relying on his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Qian Xunji fought as he retreated, ultimately escaping Scarlet King's clutches.

However, he had sustained severe injuries, and he had been separated from his disciple, Yun Yuan, with no idea where Yun Yuan had gone.

For Qian Xunji, this was the one thing he could not accept. If anything happened to Yun Yuan, all his plans for Spirit Hall's future would come to a complete end.

Moreover, Yun Yuan was not only Spirit Hall's future—he was also Qian Xunji's disciple.

What right did a Soul Master who could not even protect his own disciple have to call himself a teacher?

He had to return to Spirit Hall now. Yun Yuan possessed the Wind and Thunder Wings, so he still had a chance of surviving in the Star Dou Great Forest.

But if too much time passed, something unforeseen might happen. Besides, the direction Yun Yuan had been blasted away by the collision of Soul Power seemed to be the very area where that golden soul beast was located.

He had to hurry back and notify his father to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Only then would there still be a chance to salvage the situation.

After Qian Xunji escaped, Scarlet King felt somewhat regretful. If that Bright Soul Master's Martial Soul had not possessed such formidable speed attributes, he might have been left behind in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Still, Scarlet King had gained something. Although the Bright Soul Master had escaped, Scarlet King had inflicted grievous wounds on him—enough to leave a lasting shadow over him.

Then, he hurried back to report to the Rui Beast.

Upon returning to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's side, Scarlet King lowered his body slightly, showing the Emperor Rui Beast the utmost respect.

"Rui Beast, I severely wounded that human, but unfortunately, he escaped."

Immediately afterward, Scarlet King continued to advise the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. "Rui Beast, why don't you return to the depths of the Lake of Life? Your safety is of utmost importance to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her head, looking utterly unwilling, before explaining to Scarlet King.

"No. I still want to wander around the Star Dou Great Forest for a while longer. If I keep staying in that place, I'll be bored to death."

"Besides, Scarlet King, aren't you here to protect me? I'll play for a few more days, then return to Di Tian with you."

From the time she was born until now, she had barely come out at all. This time, she had snuck out, and unless she had her fill of fun in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had no desire to return.

Seeing that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained so stubborn, Scarlet King had no solution. In the entire core region, aside from Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji, no one could make this little ancestor change her mind.

Left with no choice, Scarlet King could only follow the Rui Beast and protect her at all times, preventing something like this from happening again.

Several hours later, Spirit City, Worship Hall.

Dragging his heavily injured body, Qian Xunji finally returned to the front of the palace. At this moment, his internal organs had shifted out of place, and thin streams of blood ran from the corner of his mouth.

The instant Qian Xunji arrived at the entrance of the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu, who was praying inside, sensed him.

In a single instant, Qian Daoliu vanished from within the Worship Hall and appeared before its main doors.

Seeing Qian Xunji in such a state, worry immediately filled his heart, and he was about to bring him into the palace for proper treatment.

But seeing Qian Daoliu move, Qian Xunji shook his head and began explaining.

"Father, hurry to the Star Dou Great Forest and find Xiao Yuan. I lost him. My injuries can still be treated, but if you arrive too late, Xiao Yuan may truly be gone."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu furrowed his brows deeply, confusion filling his heart as he questioned Qian Xunji.

"Jier, what exactly is going on? What happened when you went to the Star Dou Great Forest this time?"

Faced with his father Qian Daoliu's questioning, Qian Xunji kept it brief and directly recounted what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.

It began when he tried to capture a golden Super Soul Beast, only to encounter its guardian—a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast capable of speaking human language.

Then, he and Yun Yuan were scattered by the attack. Yun Yuan was blasted away, while he endured that terrifying soul beast's attacks and escaped the Star Dou Great Forest.

After roughly explaining what had happened, Qian Xunji told him the approximate location where he and Yun Yuan had been separated. If Qian Daoliu wanted to search for Yun Yuan, that was the best place to begin.

After hearing everything Qian Xunji had said, Qian Daoliu's expression gradually turned grave. He feared that by the time he found Yun Yuan, Yun Yuan would already be a corpse.

"Jier, I'll have your uncles treat you first. Then Golden Crocodile and I will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for Xiao Yuan."

"Don't worry. As long as Xiao Yuan is still alive, I will bring him back. But if Xiao Yuan has truly suffered the misfortune of dying, then even if I must turn the entire Star Dou Great Forest upside down, I will exterminate those two soul beasts and use them as burial offerings for Xiao Yuan."

The moment he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu sent Qian Xunji into the Worship Hall and had the other five offerings help treat him.

As for Qian Daoliu, he brought Golden Crocodile Douluo with him and headed to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for Yun Yuan.

Not long afterward, two streaks of Golden Light shot through the skies above Spirit Hall, racing toward the Star Dou Great Forest beside Spirit City.

"Great Offering, what happened?"

Golden Crocodile flew through the air alongside Qian Daoliu, his heart filled with confusion as he could not help asking.

"Golden Crocodile, we are going to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to find Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan has gone missing in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"If we cannot find Xiao Yuan, then I will take you and turn the entire Star Dou Great Forest upside down to exterminate those two soul beasts."

As he flew, Qian Daoliu described what had just happened to Qian Xunji. By the end, bone-chilling Killing Intent surfaced in Qian Daoliu's indifferent eyes.

If something had truly happened to Yun Yuan, then even if he had to search every corner of the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Daoliu would avenge him.

An hour later.

Because Qian Daoliu and Jin'e were far more powerful than Qian Xunji, they reached the Star Dou Great Forest bordering Spirit City in just one hour.

Arriving at the exact location Qian Xunji had described, Qian Daoliu lowered his gaze.

The traces of Qian Xunji's recent battle with the Scarlet King still remained here. Qian Daoliu could even sense the Angel Soul Power lingering in the air.

"This is the place."

"Jin'e, we'll split up and search for Xiao Yuan. But if we encounter those two soul beasts, capture them first."

Based on Qian Xunji's description, Qian Daoliu could roughly estimate the Three-Headed Mastiff's cultivation. It was equivalent to a Level 96 or Level 97 human Soul Master.

Jin'e was a Level 98 Peak Douluo, while he himself was a Level 99 Peerless Douluo. Capturing the Three-Headed Mastiff and the Three-Eyed Soul Beast would not be difficult.
