Sore Loser

At the highest point of Martial Soul City stood the Angel God Temple, which was also the location of the Worship Hall.

Having left the Saintess Hall, Qian Renxue ran here immediately to find Qian Daoliu.

"Slaughter God's Domain?" Qian Renxue's face showed confusion.

"Is it more powerful than the Angel Domain?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "That depends on the individual."

The Angel Domain was a special domain inherent to the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, almost allowing any soul master who possessed it to remain invincible among those of the same rank.

The reason the Angel Clan had been able to stand firm on the continent for ten thousand years without declining was precisely because of their powerful martial soul inheritance.

As for the Slaughter God's Domain, according to historical records, it was a unique domain specific to Slaughter City. The entire Slaughter City was shrouded under a massive Slaughter God's Domain. However, the one in Slaughter City had been set up by a god; even a Peerless Douluo would be suppressed upon entering that place.

Tang Chen had disappeared for so many years in search of the path to godhood without a single shred of news. He speculated that the guy was most likely staying in Slaughter City.

"Then can I possess the Slaughter God's Domain?" Qian Renxue asked.

"You can, but there is no need," Qian Daoliu said.

"Your Six-Winged Angel martial soul is the highest quality one in ten thousand years. The Angel Domain you unleash in the future will also be the closest to a God's Domain; there is no need to get involved with that kind of thing."

The origin of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul was the First Generation Angel God, and its image was also that of the First Generation Angel God. However, after being passed down, the quality of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul varied from person to person.

Those who inherited the Six-Winged Angel martial soul were all born with Innate Full Soul Power, without exception.

Of course, even with the same Innate Full Soul Power, there were gaps in talent.

For some, being born at level 10 was because the rules dictated that level 10 was the maximum, while for others, being born at level 10 was because that was the limit of their potential.

Most of the Title Douluo in the Elder Hall possessed Innate Full Soul Power, but the majority were stuck at level 93 or 94, and many had struggled to advance even a fraction in over a decade, or even several decades.

"Then what about my mother's Slaughter God's Domain?" Qian Renxue asked.

Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment. "Mastering the Slaughter God's Domain takes a very long time. Do not make contact with her for the time being."

"Can I help her?" Qian Renxue asked.

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "You cannot help. She must master it through her own peace of mind."

"Oh..." Qian Renxue felt a bit disappointed.

"Goodbye, Grandfather."

Having failed to get the answer she wanted, Qian Renxue left in low spirits.

Just after Qian Renxue left, Qian Xunji appeared inside the Worship Hall.

"Father, there are some things you shouldn't have explained to her so clearly," Qian Xunji said.

Qian Daoliu frowned. "Was this your arrangement?"

"I was right behind her," Qian Xunji replied.

"This is the best opportunity. Xiaoxue still holds expectations for Bibi Dong. As long as we provide a little more stimulation, we can completely erase those expectations."

"I know what you're worried about—it's nothing more than the fear that this matter will become a knot in her heart, or even an obstacle to her becoming a god."

"As long as we diminish the importance of Bibi Dong in her heart, even if she discovers the truth in the future, she won't care too much."

At this point, Qian Xunji sounded somewhat helpless. "But I didn't expect her to hold back today. You have to realize, the moment she saw me yesterday, her killing intent erupted instantly."

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes.

You little brat, are you actually proud of that?

"Then what do you plan to do next?" Qian Daoliu took a deep breath.

"Xiaoxue now knows about the trouble with the Slaughter God's Domain on Bibi Dong. Even if she encounters something like this again, she won't blame Bibi Dong. On the contrary, she will only feel heartache for her mother."

Qian Xunji took a gilded file from his Soul Tool and handed it to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu took it skeptically and began to flip through it. "An undercover mission in Heaven Dou?"

"You want to send Xiaoxue?"

This was a plan the Elder Hall had drafted many years ago, but they had never been able to find a suitable candidate.

After all, there were Title Douluos present in Heaven Dou City. To deceive the eyes of a Title Douluo, only that special spirit bone of the Angel Clan would suffice.

Moreover, this matter was of great importance. The person sent to go undercover must be absolutely loyal to Martial Soul Hall; otherwise, if they were exposed, it would be a massive blow to the reputation of Martial Soul Hall.

"Father, Xiaoxue is too naive right now. Furthermore, staying by your side, she won't gain any psychological growth. You spoil her too much. If she just focuses on cultivation like this, she will end up like Bibi Dong back then—understanding nothing. What will happen if an accident occurs when she grows up?" Qian Xunji said.

Qian Daoliu's face darkened.

You certainly know how to pick examples!

"Father, without experience, there is no growth," Qian Xunji said.

"Bibi Dong is a failed case. I never taught her anything other than cultivation. The result was that she had zero ability to distinguish right from wrong. An unprecedented twenty-year-old Soul Saint with absolutely no brains, getting completely played by a discarded pawn of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, to the point where she even wanted to leave Martial Soul Hall to wander the world with that piece of trash."

"You wouldn't want to see something similar happen to Xiaoxue, would you?"

"Stop!!" Qian Daoliu almost couldn't resist slapping Qian Xunji away.

Is this kind of terrifying thing something you can just talk about casually!?

"Father, actions speak louder than words," Qian Xunji said.

"Within the royal family, there is so much scheming, deceit, and even fratricide. It is common practice. Only by letting Xiaoxue witness these things can she achieve true growth. Didn't our ancestor, the Angel God, also travel the continent for a thousand years before finally ascending to godhood?"

"A true powerhouse possesses not only immense strength but also a resilient heart, rather than being a giant infant with nothing but power and no brain."

Qian Daoliu hesitated. Seeing this, Qian Xunji continued, "Father, do you know where you fall short compared to Tang Chen?"

Qian Daoliu's face darkened. "I have tolerated you enough today. Do not push your luck."

Qian Xunji's expression remained unchanged. "Father, the reason you lost to Tang Chen was not because of your strength, but because you were too timid."

"Tang Chen dares to fight and risk it all. What about you?"

"Tang Chen can stake everything on a battle. What about you? Have you ever truly staked everything even once?"

"You always worry too much. You want everything."

"For things you are certain about, you have never hesitated, just like when you served as the Adjudicator Douluo and wiped out the enemies of the Martial Soul Hall completely."

"But when it comes to Tang Chen, you are uncertain. That is why you can never make up your mind regarding him, always thinking 'what if, what if.' How many 'what ifs' can there be in this world?"

"That is because I cannot afford to lose!" Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice.

"And I dare not lose! I cannot lose!"

Stake everything?

How could it be that easy?

That heartless bastard Tang Chen could abandon the Clear Sky Sect at any moment to pursue his own affairs.

What about him? Could he abandon the Martial Soul Hall?

Or did he dare to gamble the ten-thousand-year foundation of the Martial Soul Hall?

Was he timid? Was he cowardly?

It was the responsibility of being the High Priest of the Angel God on his shoulders that made him afraid to face even the slightest risk!
