Chrysanthemum Douluo, kneeling on the ground, instinctively raised his head and looked upward.
Dugu Bo, floating in midair, also looked down at Chrysanthemum Douluo with arrogant eyes.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.
"Ju Huaguan, how did you end up here?"
"I wondered who it was. So it was you, you old venomous snake!"
Both their expressions changed drastically at the same time.
Moon Guan tilted his head slightly, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint, ambiguous smile.
Dugu Bo's already somewhat green face became even more colorful at that moment.
Amid a riot of colors, there was one patch of green!
"Old poison, why aren't you laughing anymore? I was rather looking forward to hearing you laugh!"
Ghost Douluo also walked over to Chrysanthemum Douluo's side, looking at Dugu Bo with a teasing expression. His tone was full of mockery.
"Why have you all come here?"
Dugu Bo's expression was incomparably ugly, and even his voice became especially cautious.
Though he had only recently become a Titled Douluo, his perception was still quite sharp.
There were six people who had entered his herb garden!
That young girl's Soul Power had reached level 30.
As for the other five...
Other than Moon Guan and Gui Mei, he could not sense the remaining three at all!
That meant that, as a Titled Douluo, he seemingly could only defeat that blonde girl!
"I have come here for only one purpose."
Looking at Dugu Bo floating in midair, Qian Cheng slowly raised his hand and gently pressed it down.
In an instant, an incomparably tyrannical force descended like a mountain!
Dugu Bo immediately felt as though a huge mountain had been placed upon him. His entire body fell straight from the air, completely beyond his control.
"Y-Your Excellency?"
Dugu Bo dropped to one knee, his face filled with shock.
This young man, who looked barely over twenty, was far too terrifyingly powerful!
With nothing more than the movement of a finger, he could render Dugu Bo unable to move.
If he wanted to kill him, it would likely take only an instant.
"This place was my territory long ago."
"You have occupied it for so long. It is time to return it to its rightful owner!"
Qian Cheng spoke with an indifferent expression.
Qian Cheng did not particularly like Dugu Bo. He even found him somewhat distasteful.
However, Dugu Bo had contributed at least a little.
If not for the poisonous miasma he had released, some of the soul beasts from Sunset Forest would surely have entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and ruined some of the Immortal Herbs.
To use a more common comparison...
Dugu Bo was like a gatekeeper watching over an enormous treasure, yet he held no greed for that treasure whatsoever.
Therefore, Qian Cheng gave Dugu Bo a choice.
If he was willing to get lost, he could live!
If not, he would die!
"Since Your Excellency says this is your territory, then it is your territory. I will return it to you at once!"
Dugu Bo clasped his fists and spoke without hesitation.
Though he knew this was an excellent place and could suppress the poison within his body, his life was more important!
Heavenly treasures belonged to the virtuous!
And this so-called virtue meant seeing whose fist was bigger!
The person before him could crush him to death with one hand!
That definitely made him a morally noble, good person!
"Take care. I will not see you out!"
Qian Cheng waved his hand and spoke calmly.
Dugu Bo got lost.
He left with extreme decisiveness, without the slightest hesitation.
Because he knew that if he said even one more word, he might die on the spot!
What Dugu Bo did not know was that Qian Cheng had secretly left something inside his body.
If Dugu Bo never appeared before Qian Cheng again—or rather, if he did not intend to develop biochemical weapons—then that thing would have no side effects whatsoever.
But once he had such thoughts, he would immediately spin and explode where he stood!
"Not long ago, I said that your soul ring configuration was not good enough. Now, I will help you reshape your soul rings."
Qian Cheng turned to look at Qian Renxue, a warm smile on his face. "Release your martial soul and soul rings!"
"Alright!"
Qian Renxue nodded and released her martial soul.
Dazzling golden light lit up from her forehead and instantly spread across her entire body.
Bathed in that intense golden radiance, her eyes turned completely gold, like two brilliant stars.
A pair of golden wings of light extended from her back, gently fluttering in midair and stirring a faint current of air.
Two yellow soul rings slowly revolved around her body, giving off a faint glow.
"For ordinary soul masters, there is only one chance to configure their soul rings."
"Once they make the wrong choice, their talent may be damaged at best, or their entire life may be ruined at worst!"
"But to me, soul rings are merely toys that can be kneaded however I please!"
The corners of Qian Cheng's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.
"Ancestor, how are you going to do it?"
Not only was Qian Renxue extremely curious, but Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were also eagerly anticipating it.
Once a soul ring was absorbed, either the absorption failed and one died on the spot—
Or it succeeded, and the soul ring followed the soul master for life!
Changing soul rings?
They had never heard of such a thing!
"This is very simple!"
Qian Cheng lightly snapped his fingers.
In an instant, the blood-red Chaos Guixu appeared before everyone once more.
Its icy killing intent and terrifying baleful aura made everyone present instinctively shrink their necks.
"Everyone has their own time. I only need to rewind your time, and the soul rings on your body will disappear!"
Qian Cheng stared intently at Qian Renxue and murmured solemnly, "Time Reversal!"
The blood-red aura instantly enveloped Qian Renxue, concealing her figure completely like a massive red cocoon.
Strands of blood-red aura drifted slowly through the air, carrying a trace of something eerie.
Crack!
At that moment, a faint cracking sound came from within the massive red cocoon.
Immediately afterward, dense cracks rapidly spread across the red cocoon before it exploded with a bang!
Qian Renxue reappeared before Qian Cheng.
However, this Qian Renxue was a little different!
"Ancestor, why did I become smaller?"
Looking at her tiny arms and legs, Qian Renxue's face was full of shock.
"You are six years old now, not nine. Of course you have become smaller."
Qian Cheng withdrew Chaos Guixu and looked at Qian Renxue kindly.
"Huh? This is too amazing, isn't it?"
Qian Renxue's eyes widened, filled with astonishment.
"My first Time Reversal was only barely acceptable."
Qian Cheng's tone was extremely casual, as though he had merely done something ordinary.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and both saw fear in the other's eyes!
Amazing?
Only barely acceptable?
This was a lethal killing move!
If you, Ancestor, made even the slightest mistake and rewound her time by nine years!
What would she become?
She would disappear completely!
Erased from this world!
