Uproot the weeds, but don't kill the roots, and they'll grow back with the spring breeze~

As the Grand Offering of the Six-Winged Angel, Qian Daoliu's path had long been set in stone.

That is, to die for the inheritance of the deity.

Once he was gone, he would no longer be able to shield Xiao Xue from the wind and rain.

And her relationship with Bibi Dong was, well...

After a long silence, Qian Daoliu finally sighed, intending to give Cen Yu a meeting gift.

But just as he was about to act, his thoughts shifted, and he swapped the item in his hand for a token.

Cen Yu took the token and saw the Six-Winged Angel emblem on it; his mouth twitched.

Why does this feel wrong? Shouldn't I be the one holding the initiative?

Qian Daoliu smiled kindly and said, "This is an Offering Token. With it, you can mobilize all the Title Douluo in Martial Soul Hall, and you may take whatever resources you require."

"The future belongs to you young people after all. Remember what you said just now."

With those words, as if afraid Cen Yu might go back on his word, Qian Daoliu flashed away and vaulted over the wall.

???????

Wait, what? Why would he vault over the wall when he was already inside the gate?

"Ugh... what a loss. I should have asked for a spirit bone."

Cen Yu's mouth twitched as he looked at the token in his hand.

Forget it. At least with this, his status in Martial Soul Hall was even higher.

However... the most urgent matter now should be to nip any future trouble in the bud, right? Hehe~

Thinking of this, Cen Yu also vaulted over the wall and quietly headed toward Yue Guan's residence.

"What? Where those two live? No! You're going to kill two Spirit Douluo? Are you insane?" Yue Guan stared at the relaxed Cen Yu on his sofa, completely bewildered.

A Soul Grand Master dealing with a Soul Ancestor was one thing, but those were two Spirit Douluo.

Yet Cen Yu said dismissively, "So what? As the saying goes, if you don't pull out the weeds by the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze~"

"To ensure I'm not constantly being plotted against, I have no choice but to send them on their way~"

Hearing this, Yue Guan frowned and tried to dissuade him: "What if they have no such intentions? They are two Spirit Douluo, not some roadside cabbage."

"Besides, never mind whether you can beat them—even if you could, two Spirit Douluo dying in Martial Soul City? Do you think you can cover up something that big?"

What is wrong with this kid? Why is this personality so bloodthirsty? He wants to send people to the afterlife at the slightest disagreement.

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Cen Yu chuckled: "Even the Grand Offering came to see me. Does Uncle Yue Guan really think they have no such intentions?"

"What?" Yue Guan asked hurriedly: "The Grand Offering came to see you? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

The youth waved his hand.

"Relax~ The Grand Offering is a gentleman; he wouldn't lay a hand on a junior like me~"

"But Li Wuming and his wife might not be the same. If the Grand Offering can't uphold justice for them, they will definitely plot against me in the shadows~"

That wouldn't do. How could anyone covet him? Even if they only coveted his life, it was unacceptable~

"Hehe~ Uncle Yue Guan, if you're worried, you can come with me and give me a hand~"

"Although the death of two Spirit Douluo can't be hidden, who says we have to be the ones who killed them? Couldn't it be that thieves from the Clear Sky Sect snuck into Martial Soul City?"

In the end, Yue Guan could not withstand Cen Yu's brainwashing, and fearing that something might happen to him, he simply went along.

"Do you think the Grand Offering will uphold justice for us... It's been so long and there's been no movement."

"Hmph..." Wang Xiao sneered: "Are you really counting on the Grand Offering to make decisions for us?"

"Not to mention that the little beast is the Pope's disciple, just based on his talent alone, the Grand Offering would never touch him."

Li Wuming sighed: "Then what should we do? Assassinate him? The Pope won't let us off."

"So what? That is our only son! Are you just going to let the murderer go like this?"

"I don't care! He will eventually leave Martial Soul Hall, and that will be the day he dies!"

Cen Yu crouched on the roof and pointed at the two people below: "Look, they are thinking about killing me too~"

"If I don't strike first, am I supposed to wait for them to strike at me?"

Yue Guan was speechless. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine spirit rings appeared at his feet.

The next second, he jumped straight down.

Seeing this, Cen Yu leaped lightly and followed him down.

Before Li Wuming and his wife could react, they were taken down by the two who had descended from the sky.

Cen Yu gripped his long spear, tapping the tip gently against Wang Xiao's face.

"I heard you were quite arrogant, hm? You even went as far as to set a death date for me?"

Hearing this, Li Wuming and Wang Xiao snapped their heads up, their eyes instantly brimming with hatred.

"It's you! You little beast! So it was you! It was you all along!!! How dare you show your face here!!!"

Wang Xiao shouted at Yue Guan, "Let me go! You lackey, aiding and abetting a villain! Do you even deserve to be a Title Douluo?!"

Cen Yu chuckled softly, "Naturally, I've come to reunite your family. I'm always happy to help."

"Hehe~ everyone of this generation has been knocked unconscious by me; your resistance is futile~"

As he spoke, under the horrified gazes of Li Wuming and his companion, Cen Yu slowly raised his hand, the spear tip turning toward them inch by inch.

Eerie, purplish-red energy surged and swirled, flowing directly from the spear tip into their bodies.

"Hehe~ enjoy it~ this is my gift to you~"

This was the power of the World-Ending Heavenly Mother; once it seeped into the body, it would contaminate and corrode their soul power and physical forms if not purified in time.

Held fast by Yue Guan, the two were naturally unable to resist, forced to watch helplessly as they felt the agony, ultimately meeting their end within that pain...

As the energy flooded into their bodies, a bone-chilling, excruciating pain instantly swept through them.

The next second, Li Wuming and Wang Xiao began to convulse violently, unable to stop themselves from letting out shrill, agonizing screams.

"I am not reconciled!!! Ah! You beast! Beast! You will surely face retribution!"

"Martial Soul Hall will... they will definitely regret protecting you! Beast! You beast!!!"

Under the influence of this energy, the soul power within the two began to burn rapidly, as if wood meeting a raging fire.

Finally, with a loud bang, the two figures completely vanished from between heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Yue Guan raised a hand to wipe the blood from his face and asked speechlessly, "What are you doing?"

Cen Yu did not answer, instead gathering his power to leave several marks near the scene that resembled the imprint of a hammer.

Afterward, having cleared away his and Yue Guan's auras, he began to saturate the area with an overbearing and murderous presence.

"Naturally, I'm erasing our tracks. If I left behind a physical form, wouldn't it be easy to figure out that this wasn't the work of the Clear Sky Sect?"

"Now that there are hammer prints here, along with the signature aura of the Clear Sky Hammer, how could it be anything but the work of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Hearing this, Yue Guan came to his senses and nodded in admiration.

"As expected of you..."

Was this kid really not a professional murderer and looter in the past? His methods were more practiced and systematic than those of a Title Douluo like himself.
