Qian Renxue's Intelligence Report for Today

Late at night, in a secret chamber of the Crown Prince's Residence.

[Today's intelligence update:]

[Red Intelligence · Past: Several decades ago, Tang Chen, the old sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, was tragically possessed by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and lost control of his body.]

[Red Intelligence · Future: Ten years from now, the "moon" will rise from the Star Dou Forest.]

The moment the words formed on the light screen, the corners of Qian Renxue's lips rose.

After two and a half years of bad luck, she had finally gotten red intelligence!

And it was double red intelligence!

She had never encountered such a situation before!

"The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King... possessed Tang Chen!"

Qian Renxue's face was filled with astonishment. She clearly had not expected such a thing.

Tang Chen stood alongside her grandfather and was hailed as one of the twin peaks of the Soul Master world, invincible on land!

Yet he had actually been parasitized by a spirit beast!

A cold look appeared on Qian Renxue's face as she sneered. "That counts as worse than death, doesn't it?"

"A dignified Peerless Douluo, reduced to such a state."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly lit up.

They could now be certain that Tang Chen was no longer a threat.

In other words, Spirit Hall no longer had any reservations about destroying the Clear Sky Sect!

As far as Qian Renxue knew, her grandfather had not destroyed the Clear Sky Sect's legacy back then because he was wary of Tang Chen.

Now, there was nothing left to worry about!

The only question was, how should she tell her grandfather the source of this information?

As her thoughts turned, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up again, and she immediately thought of Su Yu.

"Looks like Elder Pufferfish will have to suffer again..."

Qian Renxue chuckled, then began considering the other piece of intelligence.

The "moon" rising...

The last time information related to the "moon" had been refreshed at red rank was the matter of Aornia being contaminated by the "moon."

The question was, what did the "moon" rising represent?

Had someone broken through to the Hundredth Level, giving birth to a god who held dominion over the "moon"?

And why would it rise from the Star Dou Forest?

Qian Renxue had learned from Su Yu that a group of Beast Kings lived in seclusion within the Core Area of the Star Dou Forest.

Their leader, the Beast God Di Tian, was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King with eight hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Black Dragon King...

Moon...

Night?

Qian Renxue frowned tightly, completely unable to figure out how to make use of the second piece of intelligence.

"Forget it. There are still ten years. At worst, after I become a god, I'll personally go to the Core Area of the Star Dou Forest and take a look."

Having made up her mind, Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on her bed and began her meditation for the day.

Facts proved that when someone devoted themselves wholeheartedly to something, time always passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the Jade Toad sank in the west and the Golden Crow rose in the east.

Soft morning light spilled down, illuminating Qian Renxue's study.

At that moment, Pufferfish stood in the middle of the study, his face full of grief and indignation.

"Brother Xue, you wanted to see me?"

Su Yu pushed the door open and walked in, immediately feeling a gaze filled with resentment.

"Uh, Brother Xue, what's going on?"

Seeing Su Yu's bewildered expression, Qian Renxue explained, "It's about the Clear Sky Sect."

"Huh?" Su Yu looked puzzled. "Didn't those hammer-wielding people already retire into seclusion? Are there still people daring to come down the mountain and cause trouble?"

Qian Renxue shook her head. "It's their old sect master, Tang Chen, the one whose whereabouts are unknown."

"Just like when we were searching for the Shapeshifting Spirit Beast..."

Only then did Su Yu understand.

No wonder Porcupinefish Douluo had that expression, as though the entire world had abandoned him.

Thinking that, Su Yu first laughed rather unkindly, then controlled his expression and summoned his Martial Soul.

"Rest assured, Senior. After obtaining my Second Soul Ring, Punishment is no longer limited to simply harming others."

"You won't need to expend Soul Power to maintain a shield anymore."

With that, Su Yu directly opened his Martial Soul.

Amid the rustling sound of turning pages, the Brass Book flipped directly to a blank page.

As the Soul Ring beneath Su Yu's feet lit up, a mercury-colored glow appeared on the Brass Book.

The mercury light continuously twisted before finally forming words—

[Those who violate the following rules shall suffer Punishment.]

[1. Those who violate a contract shall be punished with Exile.]

"Exile?" Qian Renxue grew interested. "Right, there was an accident during the last spirit beast hunt, so I never got the chance to ask about the changes to your soul skill."

"What exactly is this Exile?"

"Banished to the frontier?"

Su Yu thought for a moment before explaining, "Simply put, it's forced Spatial Teleportation, except the one being teleported is the enemy."

Pufferfish looked wary as he cautiously asked, "How far does it teleport someone? How long will it take me to get back?"

Seeing Pufferfish's face full of distrust, Su Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I can control it. If I teleport you outside the study, it's only a few steps away..."

Only then did Pufferfish nod in relief.

If he really got teleported to the border of the empire, he would rather be whipped!

Then, Su Yu picked up a pen and wrote—

[1. Party A must pay Party B one Gold Soul Coin.]

[2. Party B must tell Party A the location of Tang Chen, the old sect master of the Clear Sky Sect.]

[Party A: Su Yu] [Party B:]

After finishing the contract, Su Yu directly handed it to Porcupinefish Douluo.

After signing his name, Pufferfish ignored the upward curl of Su Yu's lips and took an utterly ordinary Gold Soul Coin from his hand.

Just as Pufferfish was about to speak, Qian Renxue reminded him, "Try the Star Dou Forest first."

"Tang Chen has been gone for many years. Either he is already dead, or he is trapped somewhere and unable to act freely."

"Based on what happened last time, the Star Dou Forest clearly still hides many unknown things."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Pufferfish nodded and said to Su Yu, "Star Dou Forest."

As soon as he spoke, Pufferfish's figure blurred and then vanished from the spot.

Immediately afterward, Pufferfish pushed open the study door and walked in from outside.

After repeating this two more times, Pufferfish looked puzzled. "Young Master, based on the current situation, Tang Chen is neither in the Heaven Dou Empire nor the Star Luo Empire, much less the Star Dou Forest."

"I suppose he must have fallen."

"He couldn't possibly be hiding in Spirit City, could he?"

Su Yu reminded him, "Senior Pufferfish, have you forgotten? Beyond the continent lies the vast sea. There might even be other continents in the sea."

"Xiao Yu is right..."

At that, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she muttered to herself, "There is one more place. It belongs neither to the two great empires and Spirit City nor to the Star Dou Forest..."

"Try the Capital of Slaughter!"

As a reborn person on his second run, he obviously knew everything, yet he still had to pretend he had just discovered it. Elder Pufferfish really had it rough.

However, Qian Renxue's acting was indeed excellent. She could even act out the faint glimmer in her eyes.

How did she do that? Could it be some special use of the Angel Martial Soul?

While grumbling inwardly, Su Yu took out another Gold Soul Coin.

Pufferfish accepted the Gold Soul Coin, then gave the answer: the Capital of Slaughter.

This time, Pufferfish was not subjected to Exile.

"So it really is the Capital of Slaughter..."

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
