Alliance

Qian Ningshuang did not react to the movements of Xiong Jun and Di Tian, simply manifesting the Abyss Flower.

Looking at the heavily injured Tian'e and Pullman, Qian Ningshuang pursed her lips.

She didn't act like a lunatic by blaming Di Tian and the others just to assert her presence; in this situation, being alive was already good enough, and trash-talking would only satisfy herself.

"Zero Rated Power — I am the black from the abyss, I am the white descending from the clouds; born before the creation of the world, existing after its annihilation; I shall freely bestow the water of the fountain of life upon those who thirst!"

As a Divine Key, the abilities of the Abyss Flower did not require a Spirit Ring to be granted and could be used directly, though limited by Qian Ningshuang's strength and the rules of the world, it required reciting a so-called spirit incantation to be released.

As Qian Ningshuang finished her recitation, a green energy of life enveloped the injured group.

Under this green light, the wounds on Tian'e and Pullman healed visibly to the naked eye, and their originally pale complexions gradually regained a healthy flush.

Pullman glanced in shock at his right arm, which he could now move freely, and opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately just let out a sigh.

What was the point of being shocked? Everyone was just fish on a chopping block now.

The group of Beasts led by Di Tian watched all this with satisfaction; the better Qian Ningshuang performed, the happier they were. After all, such a powerful ability would soon be coming with them.

"Let's go."

Taking one last look at Qian Renxue, who remained standing motionless, Qian Ningshuang walked in front of Di Tian.

"A very correct choice."

Di Tian transformed back into a massive black dragon, then grabbed Qian Ningshuang and soared into the sky.

As the group of humans and beasts departed, Qian Renxue remained standing where she was, making no move, while Pullman didn't know what to say.

A long silence followed, until.

"Where is Shuang'er? Where is Shuang'er!" The awakened Tian'e looked at his surroundings, seeing the team missing a person, and roared in a rage.

"The Second Young Miss was taken away by that black dragon," Pullman said cautiously.

"Taken away? Are you, a Spirit Douluo, just useless?"

"But..." Pullman opened his mouth, looking at Tian'e, who was clearly looking to vent his anger, but he still didn't manage to say the words, "I couldn't do anything about it either."

"Second Grandfather, it's too late to say anything now. You should return to Martial Soul City first."

Qian Renxue finally reacted, lifting her bloodshot eyes to look at Tian'e.

"Then, summon all the Title Douluo of Martial Soul Hall! Regardless of the Pope Hall or the Worship Hall, if that woman has anything to say, tell her to get out of the Pope's seat immediately!"

"You can do that, right, Second Grandfather?"

Looking at the gritting teeth of Qian Renxue, Tian'e didn't care about the information in her words that could shake Martial Soul Hall to its core; instead, he took to the air and flew toward Martial Soul City. At the same time, he left one sentence behind.

"Fine, no problem. Pullman, take care of them!"

...Separator...

Qian Ningshuang looked at the Lake of Life, which played an important role in the original story from Douluo I to Douluo IV.

How should she put it? It wasn't as refreshing as the Qinghai Lake from her previous life in the Zhonghua Family; it only gave off a feeling of deep, terrifying gloom, lacking the picturesque scenery of birds and flowers described in the original work.

With the dark green lake water, a surface without a single ripple, and these giant beasts standing around her, each easily ten meters tall, it was impossible to feel relaxed.

Birds and flowers? With so many Beasts standing here, would any bird dare to come near?

Oh, the Emerald Swan standing nearby counted as a bird, though its cry didn't necessarily match the imagined songs of birds.

There was no floral scent either; while these Beasts didn't have a particularly strong odor, it was still present.

"Follow me."

Just as Qian Ningshuang was using internal sarcasm to ease her nervousness, Di Tian's appearance interrupted her.

Qian Ningshuang didn't speak, obediently stepping onto Di Tian's claw.

As the light grew dimmer, Qian Ningshuang reached the bottom of the lake. Immediately after, a "door" enveloped her.

Looking around, Di Tian had disappeared. The surroundings were not the darkness she had imagined; on the contrary, bright purple crystals emitted a brilliant light, rendering the entire space quite magnificent.

Directly in front of Qian Ningshuang was a silver dragon at least a hundred zhang in size. It had two silver horns on its head, its entire body covered in fine, hexagonal silver scales, a long silver tail spanning dozens of zhang, and a pair of massive dragon wings spread out behind it.

It was currently lying on the ground, a giant dragon head watching Qian Ningshuang, its pair of purple pupils filled with an indescribable nobility.

"Human, release your Martial Soul."

Qian Ningshuang couldn't bring herself to perform the death-seeking acts of some transmigrator predecessors who insisted on never yielding, so she obediently released the Abyss Flower.

Watching the silver dragon close its eyes in comfort, Qian Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the Abyss Flower was of great use to her, and her life was saved.

"How is it? It feels quite good, doesn't it?"

A sudden male voice interrupted the silver dragon, which was currently enjoying the life energy.

"Who?!"

Qian Ningshuang looked in shock at the Blood-Colored Bracelet on her wrist.

The voice had come from her bracelet. When Qian Daoliu gave her this bracelet in the morning, he only said it was a spatial Soul Tool; he never mentioned that this thing could talk!

"I am Qian Chongling. Her Excellency the Silver Dragon King likely hasn't heard this name before."

Watching the figure floating out from Qian Ningshuang's wrist, the Silver Dragon King's purple dragon pupils were filled with gravity.

Putting aside the strength of this soul entity clad in blood-colored battle robes, the mere fact that he could bypass her detection and reach her side was enough to startle a dragon. Although she was currently in a state of severe injury, she had once been at the level of a First-Class God; she was not someone who could be deceived by just any stray cat or dog on this continent.

Thus, there was only one possibility: the cultivation of this soul was once no lower than her own. For anyone with a level exceeding one hundred, the God Realm would never allow them to remain in the lower realms, especially when he was merely a soul entity. The answer was obvious: this soul, just like her, the Silver Dragon King, had been severely wounded by the gods of the God Realm and had escaped!

"It seems you have already more or less guessed my origins."

The blood-red soul, namely Qian Chongling, stared at the Silver Dragon King, who seemed to have realized something. It appeared they were both intelligent people, so there was no need to explain much further.

"What is your purpose in using this little girl to find me, Your Excellency?"

The Silver Dragon King hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Facing Qian Chongling, who might have suffered the same fate as her, she was not inclined to use harsh words. As for why he used Qian Ningshuang to find her, such potent life energy was also vital to the similarly wounded Qian Chongling. Furthermore, bringing Qian Ningshuang to Star Dou—there was no other possibility than to attract her attention, was there?

"Talking to intelligent people is always easy. I have come this time to form an alliance!"
