Traveling Together

"I truly thank you both for this. If not for your protection and for driving away the spirit beasts, I would have been in grave danger today. This debt of gratitude, Qin Chuan will remember."

Before the two could ponder further, Qin Chuan's gaze suddenly turned icy. Recalling the strike that nearly ended his life, he was still burning with rage.

"Tang San, and that Title Douluo, I, Qin Chuan, am not so easily killed. Just you wait."

Although this was a blessing in disguise.

If not for the World Seed, even if he had managed to survive, such injuries would have required a long period of quiet recuperation. He could afford to be injured, but his cultivation progress could never be delayed.

Wasting another person's time is akin to murder...

This blood feud, he, Qin Chuan, would remember!

"If I am not mistaken, the one who injured you must be Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect!" A hint of gravity hung upon Qian Renxue's exquisite face.

Her figure was as slender as a willow, barely a handful, and as she stepped before Qin Chuan, she asked with concern, "The Clear Sky Douluo is a top-tier powerhouse who has shaken the entire continent. How did you offend him?"

"Clear Sky Douluo?" Qin Chuan's brows locked tight.

"What? You didn't know?" When the Clear Sky Douluo was mentioned, Qian Renxue's emotions turned somewhat sorrowful. Her phoenix eyes dimmed slightly, and she fell silent.

Just then, the sound of air being torn apart rang out!

"The Clear Sky Douluo is the guardian of the Clear Sky Sect and a top-tier powerhouse who has shaken the entire continent; his glory is boundless.

However, in private, he is hypocritical and tyrannical. He even used despicable means to severely wound the Young Lady's father, leading to his passing due to the severity of his injuries."

Snake Lance Douluo flew in from the distance, introducing him to Qin Chuan while simultaneously explaining the reason for Qian Renxue's low spirits.

"This... I apologize. I did not intend to bring these matters up." Qin Chuan said apologetically. There were perhaps many secrets hidden within.

But clearly, the death of a father was a heavy burden for anyone.

Qian Renxue shook her head. "I am fine. So many years have passed; I have long since grown accustomed to it. However, I have never forgotten my father's vengeance. One day, I will personally collect all the blood debts from Tang Hao!"

The topic was slightly heavy, and Qin Chuan wanted to shift to other matters, but Puffer Douluo steered the conversation back.

"The Clear Sky Douluo went into hiding over a decade ago and vanished from the continent, never appearing again. I wonder what his purpose was for suddenly appearing this time?"

"Young friend, you were involved in the entire conflict with him. Do you know his objective for appearing in the world this time?"

As he spoke, Puffer Douluo suddenly shifted his gaze to Qin Chuan, his meaning self-evident.

Qin Chuan's mouth twitched. He was truly speechless; to have inexplicably provoked a Title Douluo, only to find the source was a mere lad.

"My feud with him was purely accidental. The conflict erupted suddenly; before that, I didn't even know his identity... Today I nearly perished, and this grudge, I, Qin Chuan, will keep firmly in my heart. There is no need for my clan to intervene. In time, I will personally seek him out to settle the score!"

Qin Chuan stated his position firmly, though he did not reveal everything, choosing to conceal certain details.

That fellow named Tang San belonged to Shrek Academy; knowing that was enough. His own vengeance had to be exacted by his own hands.

As for borrowing a knife to kill, that was not necessary for now.

It was just a Title Douluo. Give him time, and he would slaughter him like a chicken or a dog.

"I see!"

Hearing these words, a flash of obvious disappointment crossed Puffer Douluo's eyes, though he said nothing more.

However, the fact that Qin Chuan spoke so casually of seeking revenge against a Title Douluo—a man who had shaken the continent and even possessed a record of killing other Title Douluos—still sent a jolt through the hearts of the three.

But Qian Renxue noticed a key point... his clan? Her eyes lowered slightly. This person truly did have a terrifying force backing him.

She glanced at Snake Lance Douluo, who also seemed to realize this, his body trembling unnaturally for a moment.

The youth was already this terrifying; they could not imagine what his backing force, or the elders of his clan, would be like.

Could it be that there were peerless figures like the Grand Pontiff among them?

After a few moments of idle chatter, Qin Chuan prepared to take his leave.

Qian Renxue warmly urged him to stay. The Star Dou Great Forest was fraught with danger, and she hoped they could act together, providing mutual support.

However, with two Title Douluos following her, she could walk sideways even in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Very well." Qin Chuan nodded, accepting her goodwill. He was not in good condition, and he did not know Tang Hao's whereabouts. If he were lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, Qin Chuan might not even be able to run.

However, he had already invisibly draped a layer of insurance over himself—the unfathomable clan power behind a heaven-defying genius.

This should be enough to prevent a situation like the one with Snake Lance Douluo from happening again.

Moreover, following Qian Renxue's group meant having two Title Douluos as personal bodyguards, which was equivalent to borrowing top-tier combat power for free. Not only could he avoid all risks, but there might even be other benefits.

He had not forgotten that he had yet to collect all five poisons.

After a moment of weighing the options, Qin Chuan nodded readily.

"Then, please take care of me from here on out." Qian Renxue smiled, extending a fair, slender jade hand, embodying a stunning and heroic beauty.

It was breathtakingly beautiful, and it also shocked the two accompanying Title Douluos, a trace of astonishment flashing deep in their eyes.

The Young Lady was being too polite to this fellow; when in her female guise, she rarely had physical contact with men.

It was clear just how much their Young Lady valued this mysterious youth, and how special he was to her!

"You are too kind. It is I who must accept your favor." Qin Chuan grasped her soft hand and said solemnly.

After resting in place for a while, the group of four set off.

Although Qian Renxue had not stated it explicitly, the fact that she had two Title Douluos as guards showed the nobility of her status.

Perhaps it was the rumored Martial Soul Hall; after all, in the legends of this continent, only Martial Soul Hall possessed more than one Title Douluo.

Her trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was for her sixth spirit ring, for which she had already chosen a 53,000-year-old Golden Flame Holy Lion, a light-attribute beast.

"I hope I can find the remaining three poisons during this time, so I can refine that medicinal pill sooner." Qin Chuan mused to himself. He had already gathered the spider and the toad; now only the remaining three poisonous creatures were left.
