Luo Can wanted to confirm one thing: whether his Self-Detonation during the previous battle had left anything on that God Official.
Yue Guan glanced subconsciously at Qian Renxue beside him, and seeing her nod in agreement, he replied, " Old Ghost and I were ordered by Bibi Dong to investigate the battle traces. We found a very strange Blood-Colored Sword Tip in the deep pit. That thing was completely blood-red and could directly corrupt a person's mind. Two of our Soul Douluo were immediately controlled by it. Although we managed to retrieve the sword tip, those two Soul Douluo instantly turned into two dried-up corpses."
He paused, a hint of lingering fear on his face. "Even Old Ghost almost had his mind controlled by that thing."
" Blood-Colored Sword Tip?" Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then immediately sent a telepathic message to Luo Can, "Could it be left behind by that God Official from before?"
Luo Can nodded slightly and replied to her telepathically, "Most likely. That thing contains a faint trace of Asura Divine Power. Even if it's just a trace, it's not something these mortals can withstand."
He then looked at Yue Guan and solemnly instructed, " Yue Guan, after you go back, you must keep a close eye on that Blood-Colored Sword Tip. Absolutely do not let anyone touch it!"
"Yes, I understand!" Yue Guan immediately bowed and replied.
"Furthermore, we cannot tell anyone about our existence or anything that happened today, including the Gui Mei," Luo Can added.
"Understood!" Yue Guan nodded emphatically, then looked at Qian Renxue and said respectfully, " Young Master, I still need to go back and keep an eye on Nuoding City. If I leave for too long, it might arouse Bibi Dong's suspicion."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue lowered her head and pondered for a moment before saying, "When you go back, tell them that you didn't find any useful clues in Yaowang Town. The ginseng thief was just an ordinary Soul Ancestor who was framed. Also, tell them that you found some rare spiritual herbs in the herbal medicine shops here and plan to buy them for Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan to use in their cultivation."
Yue Guan's eyes lit up instantly. "That's a good reason!"
Hu Liena is Bibi Dong's personal disciple, and Xie Yue and Yan are also core members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation. Using the excuse of finding cultivation resources for them, Bibi Dong would not have a shred of suspicion.
"Alright, Xue'er, remove the domain now," Luo Can said.
Qian Renxue nodded, snapped her fingers, and the surrounding darkness instantly dissipated. The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the valley, and Yue Guan finally saw that the Stone Forest where he had been trapped for half a day was actually not very big at all; he could see the end of it at a glance.
"This... this is all the Young Master's ability?" Yue Guan was filled with astonishment, and felt a wave of fear wash over him.
"Hmm." Qian Renxue nodded lightly, looking at him with a half-smile. "If you hadn't agreed to surrender just now, you would have been a dead chrysanthemum rotting in the ground by now."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan broke out in a cold sweat. He could tell that Qian Renxue wasn't joking, so he could only give her an awkward smile and dared not reply.
"But don't rush off yet, I have something else to give you," Luo Can said.
"Okay!" Yue Guan nodded quickly, not daring to have the slightest objection.
A moment later, Ju Zi descended from the sky on a pair of mechanical wings, landing steadily in front of everyone. She folded her wings, quickly walked to Luo Can's side, and handed him a metal Chrysanthemum Badge.
"This is the Soul Guidance Monitor you wanted. Normally, you only need to input a little bit of soul power into it, and it will continuously transmit the images you see to our receiver," Ju Zi explained simply.
"Hmm." Luo Can took the badge and casually tossed it to Yue Guan. "Take this with you and keep it close to your body at all times. You can't let it out of your sight for even a moment."
Yue Guan quickly caught the badge, looked down and saw that the pattern on it was exquisite, and its appearance was exactly the same as his martial soul Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. He immediately liked it and quickly pinned it to his chest.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Renxue tossed him the 30,000-year-old Leg Spirit Bone from before, saying, "Consider this Spirit Bone your greeting gift to me. I'm not as stingy as that woman. As long as you behave well in the future, you'll have plenty of Spirit Bone and cultivation resources."
With trembling hands, Yue Guan accepted the Spirit Bone, stroking it excitedly back and forth.
He spent his entire life in the Spirit Hall and finally obtained a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! With this Spirit Bone, he won't have to wait long to break through to level ninety-five!
"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master!" Yue Guan Qian Renxue with great emotion.
Qian Renxue waved her hand and instructed, "Alright, it's getting late, you should go back now. When you get back, remember to buy those spiritual herbs from the pharmacy, don't let anything slip by."
"Yes! I understand!" Yue Guan nodded repeatedly, then his figure flashed and transformed into a golden streak of light, flying towards Yaowang Town.
Watching Yue Guan's figure disappear into the horizon, Dugu Bo walked to Luo Can's side, clicked his tongue, and said, "I really didn't expect that this sissy would actually be so loyal. He actually surrendered to the Gui Mei for her sake."
"Humans aren't plants or trees, how can they be without feelings?" Luo Can smiled. " Yue Guan and Gui Mei have been partners for decades, climbing up from the bottom together, facing countless life-and-death situations, and they even have a unique Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The bond between them can no longer be described as ordinary brotherhood."
Dugu Bo nodded thoughtfully, then, as if remembering something, turned to look at Qian Renxue and asked with a face full of curiosity, "You're actually from the future? And the others, are they from the future too?"
"More or less!" Qian Renxue nodded.
Dugu Bo patted Luo Can on the shoulder again and asked, "And you? You're from the future too?"
"No, I'm a person of this era." Luo Can replied with a smile.
"How did they get from the future to this era? And what will my future be like?" After watching this show today, Dugu Bo's eyes were opened, and his curiosity was completely piqued.
"Didn't I tell you long ago that I am the inheritor of the gods? Of course I have the ability to pull them from the future into this era." Luo Can casually explained, then changed the subject, "As for your future... well, you ended up on the opposite side of Xue'er because you sided with Tang San during the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, which caused Xue'er's identity to be exposed prematurely."
"Hiss--" Dugu Bo gasped instantly, finally realizing what was going on. No wonder Qian Renxue insisted on sparring with him the first two times they met; it turned out she was just settling a personal score!
Seeing his look of sudden realization, Qian Renxue revealed an innocent smile and said, " Senior Dugu, now that you've remembered, would you like to spar with me again?"
Dugu Bo shivered instantly, shaking his head vigorously like a rattle-drum. "No, no! I have to take Ji Juechen back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well tonight. There's a lot of stuff waiting for me in Heaven Dou City. I'll be going now, goodbye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Ji Juechen beside him and took off into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye, afraid that if he was too slow, he would be caught by Qian Renxue for a sparring match.
Seeing him flee in disarray, Luo Can couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, then turned to Cheng Gang: " Cheng Gang, you should go back to the Fate Defying Pavilion too."
"Yes." Cheng Gang bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Soon, only Luo Can, Qian Renxue, and Ju Zi remained in the valley. As the sun completely set behind the mountains and night slowly descended, the three exchanged a smile and transformed into three streaks of light, flying off towards the Fate Defying Valley.
