Sunrise and sunset marked the beginning of another day.
With no idea where Qian Wuyou was at the moment, Golden Crocodile, Thousand Jun, Falling Devil, and the others left Spirit City and went straight to Heaven Dou City, the newly built capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Looking at the city built on the Heaven Dou Mountain Range, Golden Crocodile Douluo rubbed his chin and couldn't help marveling.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"I never expected the Heaven Dou Empire to rebuild its capital so quickly after that child, Qian Wuyou, destroyed the old Heaven Dou City..."
They had gone out of their way to see the old Heaven Dou City that Qian Wuyou had destroyed.
The terrifying destructive power of wiping out an entire city with one strike had sent chills down even their spines.
Even Golden Crocodile Douluo, a Peak Douluo at level 98, couldn't unleash an attack capable of destroying a city in one strike, even if he used his Hundred-Thousand-Year ninth Soul Skill with all his might.
All they could say was—he truly lived up to being the Grand Pontiff of the Angel God.
Until anyone knew Qian Wuyou's exact circumstances, Golden Crocodile and the others shared Qian Daoliu's belief: Qian Wuyou must have completed the Angel God's divine trials as Grand Pontiff.
Only the power of the gods, which stood above the Soul Power system, could possess such terrifying strength as to destroy an entire city with one strike. It was simply beyond the reach of Peak Douluo like them.
However, just then,
Thousand Jun and Falling Devil spoke up with a suggestion.
"Second Brother—since we still don't know where that child, Qian Wuyou, is, why don't we go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace first and see Xiao Xue?"
"And while we're at it, we can clean up the mess that child, Qian Wuyou, left behind."
"Oh!"
"Go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and see Xiao Xue..."
Golden Crocodile rubbed his chin, mulling it over.
It had indeed been years since they had seen Xiao Xue, not since Qian Renxue went undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire.
After thinking for a moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded.
"Fine! Let's go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace!"
"But remember, officially, we're there to clean up the mess that child, Qian Wuyou, left behind. In secret, we're going to visit Xiao Xue..."
They were already here, after all. It would be hard to justify not going to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
As Golden Crocodile Douluo, Thousand Jun Douluo, Falling Devil Douluo, and the others headed for Heaven Dou City, Qian Wuyou was also leaving the Star Dou Great Forest with Tianzhen and Wuxie.
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Empire,
on a highway in Fasinuo Province,
Qian Wuyou headed toward Holy Soul Village as he answered the questions Tianzhen and Wuxie had been wondering about.
"Tianzhen, Wuxie, do you remember Ah Yin, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who took human form?"
"Hm???"
Tianzhen and Wuxie paused mid-step.
"Ah Yin, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor?"
"Clan Leader, do you mean the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who caused Qian Xunji's death back then?"
"Mm! That's the one!"
Qian Wuyou nodded.
"The place we're heading to is the waterfall behind Holy Soul Village, where the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone is hidden."
Qian Wuyou planned to save the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone in Holy Soul Village for his younger sister.
Qian Wulu already had a Hundred-Thousand-Year leg Soul Bone.
He also had the left and right arm Soul Bones dropped by the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
If they added the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor leg Soul Bone in Holy Soul Village, that would make four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
With a little more effort, they could find two more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and then Qian Wulu would have a complete set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, just like him.
Unlike Qian Wuyou, who looked relaxed, Tianzhen and Wuxie were utterly shocked by the news.
"Th-the waterfall behind Holy Soul Village is hiding a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone???"
Well, well, well!
Were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones really that easy to stumble upon these days?
Yes! They had heard right!
In the eyes of Tianzhen and Wuxie, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone in Holy Soul Village was practically free for the taking.
As if he'd seen what the sisters were thinking, Qian Wuyou shook his head helplessly.
"Tianzhen, Wuxie, don't get cocky."
"It won't be that easy to get the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone in Holy Soul Village."
Seeing their confusion, Qian Wuyou laid out the whole story.
For example, Tang Hao had deliberately left the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone there.
If they were lucky, they could simply take it.
If they weren't, they would probably have to deal with Tang Hao before they could take the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.
After hearing Qian Wuyou out, Tianzhen and Wuxie nodded, mulling it over.
"Oh, right! Tang Hao, that butcher?"
"Clan Leader, understood!"
"If we run into Tang Hao in Holy Soul Village, please let us judge him..."
Tianzhen and Wuxie didn't take Tang Hao seriously.
Back when they were level 80 Soul Douluo, they could already overpower Tang Hao with their Angel Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Now that they had both reached level 93 and become Titled Douluo, dealing with Tang Hao would be even easier.
Once they used their Angel Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they could probably judge that butcher, who had slaughtered countless people, in mere moments.
Qian Wuyou didn't refuse Tianzhen and Wuxie's request.
"Mm! Sure, no problem!"
"If we run into Tang Hao in Holy Soul Village, I'll leave him to you to judge..."
Tang Hao was no match for them; Tianzhen and Wuxie would be more than enough.
As Qian Wuyou led Tianzhen and Wuxie toward Holy Soul Village, an odd coincidence occurred.
Ever since the battle in Heaven Dou City, Tang Hao had taken the unconscious Tang San straight back to Holy Soul Village.
At that moment, inside the waterfall behind Holy Soul Village,
Tang San, who had been unconscious for several days, slowly regained consciousness.
Just then, Tang San murmured to himself.
"N-no... don't..."
"Xiao Wu... don't sacrifice yourself..."
As if he'd had a nightmare, Tang San suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes. Cold sweat soaked him, and he gasped for breath.
Then a splitting headache swept over him, and the images of the earth-shattering battle in Heaven Dou City flooded his mind.
The terrifying attack from Qian Wuyou that had destroyed an entire city in one strike, and the sight of Xiao Wu being controlled and forced to sacrifice herself, made his heart ache so badly that his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
As Tang San's headache grew unbearable, his eyes reddening and his breathing turning ragged, the Blue Silver Grass beside him, marked with golden patterns, released a gentle flow of Soul Power.
The Soul Power was warm and unending. Bit by bit, it soothed the agony in Tang San's mind, eased the tension in his body, and calmed the emotions threatening to spiral out of control.
