Douluo: Return of the Killing Star, Starting with a Reckoning for Bibi Dong

Bibi Dong looked ahead with a pair of cold eyes, revealing an endless depth.

Qian Xun'an walked out and began to ponder everything that had happened. Although his father and Bibi Dong both claimed that the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, had killed his elder brother.

However, Qian Xun'an always felt something was wrong; there seemed to be an inexplicable sense of dissonance.

While that Clear Sky Douluo sounded like a Title Douluo, and a Title Douluo could indeed potentially kill his brother.

But at that time, his brother was the Pope. When he hunted the Blue Silver Emperor, he had brought many elders with him, and among those elders, there was no shortage of several Title Douluos.

Under such circumstances, could his brother really have been killed in a counter-attack?

Furthermore, when his father spoke of this matter, he was always hesitant, as if he wanted to hide something.

It seemed that this matter was not as simple as it appeared.

Next, it seemed he would have to find a way to investigate his brother's affair thoroughly.

Qian Xun'an was walking along the road when, suddenly, a powerful aura surged toward him.

An arrow, a terrifying arrow, arrived at Qian Xun'an's side in an instant with extreme speed. Qian Xun'an swayed slightly, shifted his feet, and easily dodged the strike. Immediately after, another arrow was shot, but this time, it was replaced by three arrows flying toward him simultaneously.

Qian Xun'an frowned. He had already judged that the person shooting the arrows was also a super powerhouse at the Title Douluo level, and one who specialized in long-range attacks at that.

Facing such a close-range sneak attack, Qian Xun'an dared not be careless. A pale golden halo suddenly rippled around his body, and with a flap of his wings, his figure vanished from where he stood.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

With three explosive sounds, the three arrows shattered one after another.

At this moment, Qian Xun'an immediately released his martial soul. A terrifying soul power instantly permeated the air, and a powerful aura erupted.

The next moment, six golden wings instantly spread out from behind Qian Xun'an, each feather possessing a metallic texture on its surface.

The six Angel wings flapped in unison, and a terrifying energy fluctuation rose abruptly, causing the air to distort violently.

Nine soul rings appeared on Qian Xun'an's body. If anyone were to see them, they would surely be shocked by these terrifying soul rings.

Because, on Qian Xun'an's body, nine crimson soul rings had emerged, each one containing an incomparably powerful fluctuation.

Red soul rings, what were those...

Those were 100,000-year soul rings!

For an ordinary Title Douluo, possessing a single 100,000-year soul ring was already terrifying enough, yet now, Qian Xun'an's body actually possessed nine 100,000-year soul rings.

If others were to know of such a scene, their jaws would surely drop!

"Swish!"

Qian Xun'an's body turned into a golden stream of light in the next instant, rushing toward the person who had launched the attack.

Qian Xun'an's speed was simply too fast. A golden streak of light flashed, and the next moment, his figure had already appeared before the Title Douluo who had launched the long-range attack.

At this moment, Qian Xun'an finally saw the appearance of the person who had attacked him. He saw that the man had long, pale golden hair and looked like a youth, with half of his face covered in ice that resembled feathers.

At this time, the Title Douluo's face was filled with shock. He held a bow and arrow, his gaze fixed on Qian Xun'an. As he looked at Qian Xun'an, his pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.

At this moment, Qian Xun'an saw the Title Douluo and immediately stopped his hand. Looking at the Title Douluo, he said, "Uncle Guangling, is this how you welcome me?"

That Title Douluo was none other than the fifth Elder of the Worship Hall, the old urchin Guangling Douluo!

Seeing Guangling Douluo, Qian Xun'an smiled knowingly. After all, he knew that Uncle Guangling attacking him must have been just to test his strength, not a genuine attempt to ambush him.

When he was young, although all six Elders were very good to him, the only one who could truly play with him and his brother was this old urchin, Guangling Douluo.

Although he looked young, he was now over ninety years old, yet he had always retained his childlike innocence and had been able to get along with him since he was a child.

Qian Xun'an vaguely remembered that when he was young, his favorite person was this Uncle Guangling.

At this time, Guangling Douluo finally woke up from his shock and looked at Qian Xun'an, saying, "Xiao An, it's been decades, you really are surprising!"

Qian Xun'an looked at the nine crimson soul rings on his body, and only then did he understand what Guangling Douluo was surprised about.

Immediately, Qian Xun'an retracted his soul rings and said calmly, "I've had some fortuitous encounters over the years, so my soul rings are all 100,000-year ones."

Hearing Qian Xun'an say this, Guangling Douluo clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Your fortuitous encounters are truly heaven-defying."

At this time, Guangling Douluo looked at Qian Xun'an, and there seemed to be a few tears in his eyes. He then spoke, "Little Xun'an, I didn't expect... that in this lifetime, I would actually have the chance to see you again!"

Qian Xun'an looked at Guangling Douluo and smiled, "Uncle Guangling, we aren't children anymore, don't be so mushy."

"Hahahaha..." Guangling Douluo immediately laughed.

Guangling Douluo then said, "Earlier today, I heard that someone had broken into our Martial Soul Hall, and later, I learned that it was you who had returned.

At that time, I was very excited, and I wanted to test your strength, so I ambushed you on the road.

I didn't expect that this test would lead me to see such a shocking scene."

"Little Xun'an, why don't you come to my place for a drink? I really want to hear about your exciting adventures over these years!" Guangling Douluo looked at Qian Xun'an and smiled.

Qian Xun'an nodded and said, "Alright, I also have many questions I would like to ask Uncle Guangling!"

"Then let's go!"

Immediately, Qian Xun'an followed Guangling Douluo to his residence.

The two began to drink and chat, and Qian Xun'an started to recount his experiences within that small world.

This included how he cultivated in that world, how he outwitted terrifying spirit beasts, and how he ultimately slew the evil dragon...

Of course, Qian Xun'an automatically omitted certain secret matters.

After he finished speaking, Guangling Douluo clicked his tongue in wonder, feeling utterly shocked.

"Xiao An, I never expected that you would have endured so much suffering in your life!" Guangling Douluo exclaimed with great emotion.

A ten-year-old boy, traveling alone to a small world and cultivating until he became a Limit Douluo.

How could that not be bitter?

Being able to survive and sit here now was a miracle in itself.

Qian Xun'an smiled indifferently and said, "It was merely a bit of wind and frost."

Although Qian Xun'an spoke lightly, Guangling Douluo knew that the suffering he had endured was beyond his imagination.

Qian Xun'an suddenly changed the subject, looked at Guangling Douluo, and asked, "Compared to that, Uncle Guangling, do you know how my eldest brother actually died?"

Qian Xun'an looked at Guangling Douluo earnestly and asked again, "Uncle Guangling, do you know how my eldest brother died?"

At this moment, Guangling Douluo looked at Qian Xun'an and then spoke solemnly, "Xun'an, I know what you want to ask, but I am not clear on the specific details either. I only know that back then, Xunji went to hunt down Tang Hao and his wife.

As a result, Tang Hao's wife sacrificed herself for Tang Hao and left Xunji severely wounded.

After he was heavily injured, I went to see Xunji once, and his wounds were very grave.

If it were an ordinary person, they certainly wouldn't have survived such severe injuries, but Xunji was a Title Douluo and the Pope of our Martial Soul Hall; we have so many heavenly treasures in our Martial Soul Hall.

To be honest, I never thought back then that Xunji would just die like that!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xun'an immediately looked at Guangling Douluo and asked, "Uncle Guangling, what do you mean...?"

"Your intuition is likely correct; there is a major problem with Xunji's death! However, no one knows exactly what happened. It is very difficult to investigate the truth of what occurred back then!"

Guangling Douluo continued, "Xun'an, tell me, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Qian Xun'an immediately replied, "Uncle Guangling, you know the bond between my eldest brother and me. My brother cannot die so unclearly, so I want to seek justice for him!"

Guangling Douluo looked at Qian Xun'an and continued to ask, "Even if this justice is likely to be accompanied by countless bloodshed and might even trigger chaos within our Martial Soul Hall, you still insist on it?"

Qian Xun'an nodded again and said, "That is correct. I do not care about anything else; no matter what price must be paid, I can bear it. Therefore, I must have this justice!"

Hearing this, Guangling Douluo nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Xun'an, I will not try to persuade you otherwise. Whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it!"

"With your current strength, I fear there is no one who could stop you regardless of what you do!"

Qian Xun'an nodded and said, "Whoever blocks me, I shall kill!"

"Then how exactly do you plan to proceed? If you want to uncover all of this, although you are very strong, it will be difficult to do it on your own!" Guangling Douluo looked at Qian Xun'an and continued.

"Then, Uncle Guangling, what suggestions do you have?" Qian Xun'an asked humbly.

Guangling Douluo spoke earnestly, "If you want to investigate information within the Martial Soul Hall, you must have certain privileges. Perhaps you could become an elder of our Martial Soul Hall; with the status of an elder, everything would be easier for you to investigate."

Qian Xun'an thought for a moment, but ultimately shook his head and said, "The restrictions on an elder are too great. I need a better status!"

"What status?" Guangling Douluo looked at Qian Xun'an in surprise and said, "Could it be that you want... the position of Pope?"

Guangling Douluo immediately denied it, saying, "Xun'an, I know your strength is immense, but Bibi Dong is currently managing the Martial Soul Hall very well. If you want the position of Pope, I fear that none of the seven elders of our Worship Hall would agree to it."

Qian Xun'an shook his head and continued, "I know that if I were to fight for the position of Pope now, I would be making an enemy of the entire Martial Soul Hall. Therefore, I will settle for the next best thing. The Martial Soul Hall has the Worship Hall and the Pope Hall; I want to establish a Judgment Hall!"

"A Judgment Hall?"

Guangling Douluo looked at Qian Xun'an with some shock and asked in confusion, "What is a Judgment Hall?"

"The Judgment Hall will be independent of the Worship Hall and the Pope Hall, possessing independent law-enforcement rights to judge anyone who violates the rules of our Martial Soul Hall.

In this Judgment Hall, everyone is equal; there is no distinction between Pope, Saintess, or Elder."
