Qian Xunji looked at Qian Daoliu and said calmly, "Father, go back to the Worship Hall. Don't interfere in my affairs from now on."
Golden Crocodile and the other enshrined elders sighed. Qian Daoliu, who was famed as invincible in the sky, had actually been defeated—and by the son he'd always thought was useless.
It was hard to tell whether that was fortunate or unfortunate!
"You rebellious son, you!"
Qian Daoliu had clearly been enraged by Qian Xunji. He tried to get up and continue arguing with him, but Golden Crocodile and the others held him back.
"You rebellious son! One day, Spirit Hall will be destroyed by your hands!"
Qian Xunji couldn't be bothered to argue with Qian Daoliu. Time would prove everything. He turned and left for Pope Palace.
Leng Lingyuan had given birth not long ago and needed him to spend more time with her.
"You rebellious son, stop right there! Stop right there!" Qian Daoliu pointed at Qian Xunji's retreating figure, suddenly feeling an indescribable desolation in his heart.
Golden Crocodile and the other enshrined elders held Qian Daoliu back and tried to reason with him. "Great Enshrined, let it go. Let it go. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Qian Xunji is already a Limit Douluo. The only ones in this world who can defeat him are Deities. Let him do as he pleases."
"It's only Bibi Dong."
"Besides, Bibi Dong was the one in the wrong to begin with."
"Even if Bibi Dong was in the wrong, Qian Xunji shouldn't treat her like this!"
"How could he do something so vile, so utterly devoid of conscience?"
"Great Enshrined, let it go. Let him be."
Spirit City, Pope Palace.
As Qian Xunji entered Pope Palace, the system's voice sounded.
"Host has successfully received five levels of Soul Power, as well as knowledge of arrays."
"Host's Soul Power has exceeded level 99, and 0.05% divine power has been generated within the body."
"From now on, the Soul Power host obtains will be converted into divine power according to a certain ratio."
"Host has successfully received knowledge of arrays."
"In view of the host's new ability, an array category has been added for the host."
"Details are as follows. Please check them yourself."
[Family Prosperity System] [Host: Qian Xunji] [Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel] [Divine Position: None] [Body: 99] [Soul: 94] [Soul Power: 99.05 (partially converted into divine power)] [Soul Rings: Full set of hundred-thousand-year rings (so-so)] [Soul Bones: Full set of hundred-thousand-year bones (so-so)] [Arrays: Fortification Array, Soul-Sealing Array] [Relatives/Talent: 1 Qian Renxue (Gold), 2 Qian Renshuang (Red)] [Bloodline Continuation Rewards] [Overall Evaluation: A little better than that trash.]
After reading through everything, Qian Xunji couldn't help marveling inwardly. The system really gets me!
The Fortification Array and the Soul-Sealing Array were practically tailor-made for building a Secret Chamber.
Applying the Fortification Array to a building could greatly increase its durability.
A building that a Soul Emperor would find difficult to damage would take even a Titled Douluo considerable time and effort to break through if protected by the Fortification Array.
As its name suggested, the Soul-Sealing Array could restrain Martial Souls and Soul Power. Anyone caught in it would be unable to use either.
Only the array's creator and those granted permission could use their Martial Souls and Soul Power within it.
Both arrays could be set up throughout Spirit City, making it as secure as an iron fortress. Even if every Soul Master on the continent became his enemy, he wouldn't be afraid.
With him personally setting the arrays, unless a Deity descended, no one in Douluo Continent would be able to use their Martial Soul or Soul Power inside Spirit City—as long as he wanted it so.
Aside from a few special materials for the arrays that needed to be prepared, everything else would be simple enough to gather. Qian Xunji was confident he could successfully set up both arrays in Spirit City within three years.
Both arrays drew on the five elements of the world, so they didn't need a special energy supply. The city's Soul Power wouldn't decrease as a result; on the contrary, it would increase accordingly.
Before that, though, Qian Xunji planned to build a Secret Chamber inside Pope Palace.
Pope Palace, birthing room.
"Husband, how did things go with Father? Is he all right?" Leng Lingyuan asked, though she already knew the answer.
"Ling Yuan, don't worry. Father isn't seriously hurt; he only suffered some minor injuries. He won't interfere in our affairs anymore."
"These two little ones are making a fuss again." Qian Xunji took Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang from Leng Lingyuan and played with them, changing the subject.
"Xiao Xue and Xiao Shuang are very well-behaved," Leng Lingyuan protested on Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang's behalf.
One month later.
Leng Lingyuan had fully recovered. Most of her time was now spent with Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang.
Construction on the Secret Chamber in Pope Palace had begun some time ago.
Leng Lingyuan was in charge.
With no need to worry about Qian Daoliu anymore, Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan could finally act without restraint.
The elders of Spirit Hall and the other clans were glad to see things turn out this way. After all, Qian Xunji hadn't taken any of their existing benefits, and he was genuinely powerful.
Besides, they preferred the Qian Xunji of now to Qian Daoliu.
That was simply because Qian Daoliu was too pure—so pure you could see the patterns on the stones at the bottom of a river.
Having a leader like that was exhausting. Wasn't the Qian Xunji they had now much better?
Once the Secret Chamber was complete, Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan went to inspect it. Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang stayed in Saintess Hall, where attendants looked after them.
The Secret Chamber now resembled an Underground Palace, covering more than ten thousand square meters and studded with all kinds of glowing crystals.
So the Underground Palace wasn't dark at all.
It was divided into a hundred suites, each with a bedroom, bath, and toilet.
Aside from the hundred suites, it also had a kitchen and various entertainment facilities.
Qian Xunji didn't rush to move Bibi Dong in. He planned to set up the two arrays in the Underground Palace first.
Five months later.
Qian Xunji finished setting up the arrays.
He had done everything himself and had no intention of teaching the arrays to anyone—not even Leng Lingyuan.
Once the arrays were in place, Qian Xunji moved Bibi Dong from the Secret Chamber to his Underground Palace.
Spirit City, Pope Palace.
Underground Palace.
Qian Xunji opened the door and entered Suite One, where Bibi Dong was staying.
"Teacher." Bibi Dong was utterly respectful. She knew her life was still in Qian Xunji's hands.
If she wanted revenge, the first thing she had to do was put Qian Xunji's suspicions to rest.
"Bibi Dong, half a year has passed. I assume you've fully recovered."
"Do you still remember what you promised me?" There was a hint of mockery in Qian Xunji's eyes.
Damn Qian Xunji. He already has Xiao Xue, and he still won't leave me alone!
Why did I have to call the little bastard Xiao Xue?
As she cursed him inwardly and wondered, Bibi Dong replied, "Teacher, of course I remember."
"As long as you spare my life, I'm willing to bear your children."
As Bibi Dong said this, she was practically gritting her teeth.
Qian Xunji frowned and demanded, "Bibi Dong, if you remember, why are you still standing there?"
"Hurry over here and serve me."
"Do you need me to make you?"
"N-no need, Teacher. I'll come right over." Bibi Dong hurried to Qian Xunji and began helping him out of his clothes.
Damn Qian Xunji. Just you wait. One day, I'll make you wish you were dead!
Before you continue
