Less than half an hour ago, the Angel God herself—Qian Renxue's direct ancestor—had just proposed an even more earth-shattering suggestion to Ye Qing.

That was, she wanted to marry Ye Qing herself!

In other words, if they followed Qian Xunji's plan, it would mean having Qian Renxue compete for a husband against her own ancestor, the Angel God!

This relationship...

Just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle!

Ye Qing was fine.

He mainly felt that the whole thing was bizarre, though the Angel God was indeed stunningly beautiful.

Furthermore, she was a main deity of the God Realm.

So, her marrying him was not something he couldn't accept.

To put it bluntly, he didn't care about age gaps at all; he only cared about whether the other party was good-looking.

But Qian Daoliu was different!

On one side was his own beloved granddaughter, Qian Renxue, in whom he had placed all his hopes.

On the other side was the Angel God, the ancestor his family had served for countless generations and revered above all else!

How was he supposed to choose?

Considering emotions and practical interests, he naturally preferred for Qian Renxue to marry Ye Qing.

After all, the two were of similar age and equal status.

The benefits brought by such an alliance would be more intuitive and stable.

Moreover, it would avoid the shocking nature and endless subsequent troubles of an ancestor "marrying down" to a descendant's generation.

But the problem was...

What exactly was this brat Ye Qing thinking?

Who could guarantee that this kid wouldn't be bewitched by the Angel God's peerless beauty, her status as a deity, and those earth-shattering promises she made?

What if he really had a unique taste and preferred the "big sister" type like the Angel God...

Or even the "ancestor-sister" type?

Wouldn't Martial Soul Hall become the laughingstock of the continent?

Although, looking at the result, Ye Qing would still be marrying someone from Martial Soul Hall.

But the problem was, the nature of the situation would change entirely!

It would shift from a powerful alliance between two major forces to the Angel God robbing the cradle, acting inappropriately by snatching the betrothed of her own descendant!

If this got out, would Martial Soul Hall have any face left?

Furthermore, how would he explain this to Sea God Island and Bo Saixi?

Could he say: "Sorry, the successor your Sea God favored is not only switching to the Angel God's sect, but he also happened to marry our family's ancestor on the way?"

If Bo Saixi heard that, she would surely fly into a rage and carry the Sea God Hall to storm Martial Soul Hall!

Therefore, upon hearing Qian Xunji propose this suggestion again and seeing him look at him for a decision, Qian Daoliu struggled, tangled, and remained speechless for several long seconds.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and, with a tone of decision that bordered on "breaking the pot to save the pieces," spoke quickly and clearly:

"Regarding this matter... I naturally have no objections!"

After speaking, he looked at Ye Qing, then at Sea Dragon Douluo: "As long as Little Qing is willing and Bo Saixi agrees, I, Qian Daoliu, can personally take Little Xue to Sea God Island to propose marriage tomorrow! All etiquette and procedures can be handled according to the highest standards!"

He had to lock in the relatively normal, secular alliance first!

No matter what, he had to at least bind the relationship between Ye Qing, Martial Soul Hall, and the Angel lineage through a betrothal!

As for the ancestor...

He would deal with that later!

When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road; when the boat reaches the pier, it will go straight!

If all else failed...

Could he really stop the ancestor?

He could only take it one step at a time!

Hearing this, Qian Xunji's face immediately revealed irrepressible excitement: "Father is wise! Then there is no time to lose. Do you think... we should send a letter to Bo Saixi first to test her stance? If she has the same intention, we can begin preparations immediately!"

Qian Daoliu nodded, not refusing: "That is fine. I will write the letter shortly."

After making the arrangements, he looked at Ye Qing again, his gaze complex, though his tone remained as gentle as possible: "Little Qing, you are tired today, so go back to your room and get some rest. If you need anything or have any matters, feel free to come to the Worship Hall to find me."

With that, he did not linger.

He gave Qian Xunji a look, then turned and walked away quickly with his still-excited son, leaving the courtyard with its subtle, heavy atmosphere.

This matter was truly becoming more and more complex, and the waters were growing deeper by the moment.

Oh, Lady Angel God, you must hold yourself steady.

This grandson-in-law and this ancestor...

To us, these are truly not the same thing at all!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In Martial Soul City, a chilling aura of slaughter quietly permeated the plaza before the Pope Palace.

Sunlight shone upon the polished stone slabs, reflecting a cold and hard luster.

Qian Xunji stood upon the high steps, dressed in his magnificent papal robes, wearing a purple-gold crown, and holding the gem-encrusted scepter that symbolized the authority of the Pope.

Behind him, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei stood in silent attendance, like two ghostly shadows.

Although the two did not deliberately release their auras, the faint pressure belonging to Title Douluo still made the surrounding air seem to stagnate.

Further back were more than a dozen soul masters dressed in the elite uniforms of Martial Soul Hall, their auras as deep and heavy as an abyss.

They were all, without exception, powerhouses at the Soul Douluo level.

This force was enough to easily annihilate an ordinary kingdom.

Or make any top-tier sect feel a deep sense of dread.

Standing slightly to the side of Qian Xunji, Sea Dragon Douluo stood quietly.

His expression was calm, and his gaze was cast toward the distant direction of the Clear Sky Sect, yet deep within his eyes, a cold tide of the sea was surging.

If not for the Clear Sky Sect, he and Ye Qing would never have come to Martial Soul Hall.

Thinking of this, the anger in his eyes grew even more intense.

Qian Xunji's gaze slowly swept over the team below, finally meeting the eyes of Sea Dragon Douluo, and he nodded slightly.

"Depart."

Regarding this expedition to question the crime, Qian Xunji felt no great waves in his heart, carrying instead a trace of condescending indifference.

The Clear Sky Sect?

In the eyes of him and Martial Soul Hall, the Clear Sky Sect had never been an opponent that needed to be treated as an equal.

If not for that peerless talent Tang Chen, who had emerged from nowhere, using his status as a level 99 Peerless Douluo to forcibly elevate the Clear Sky Sect to the height of the number one sect in the world.

With only the Clear Sky Sect's original foundation and heritage, would they even be worthy of sitting at the same table as Martial Soul Hall?

What were they thinking!

Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, famous for its wealth and support-type soul masters, was in Qian Xunji's view more worthy of attention for its potential influence and resilience than the Clear Sky Sect, which was top-heavy and unbalanced without Tang Chen.

What's more, in this matter, the Clear Sky Sect was at fault first.

And they were wrong to an outrageous degree, having directly collided with the sharpest of blades.

Attacking the God Child of Sea God Island and stealing the belongings of the Sea God's heir?

This was no longer a simple provocation; it was a desecration of the dignity of a deity.

It was a flagrant infringement upon the core interests of Sea God Island.

Sea God Island lived in seclusion overseas and appeared to be free from worldly disputes, but everyone knew that involving the inheritance of a deity meant touching a reverse scale.

Therefore, even if Bo Saixi did not know about this yet, he was clear that Sea God Island would not let this matter rest.

And now, Sea God Island had chosen to join forces with Martial Soul Hall.

The significance of this was entirely different.

It meant that this trip to the Clear Sky Sect was not merely the business of Martial Soul Hall alone.

It represented the joint will of the two great divine inheritance forces: the Sea God and the Angel God!

At least, on the surface, that was the case.

Tang Chen, you are a Peerless Douluo, rarely meeting an opponent across the continent, that is true.

But...

So what?

No matter how strong you are, could you possibly deal with two Peerless Douluo of the same level at the same time?

What are you thinking!

This time, the Clear Sky Sect had delivered the handle of the blade into the hands of the two sharpest knives themselves.

Publicly or privately, reasonably or logically, Martial Soul Hall and Sea God Island held the absolute initiative and advantage.

This time, he would let the whole world see clearly who was the true master of this continent.

He would also make the Clear Sky Sect pay the price they deserved for their arrogance and stupidity.
