Qian Daoliu's Shock
"Um... Grandpa Qian... I've actually already found Tang Chen for you."
"What?"
Qian Daoliu could hardly believe his ears. "Xiao Ye, where did you find him?"
"This story begins a thousand years ago."
"What do you mean?" Qian Daoliu was confused. Tang Chen was only a year or two older than him, so why was he bringing up a thousand years ago?
Qian Ye heard Qian Daoliu's thoughts and simply smiled, "You should have heard the story from a thousand years ago. It's about the ruins of the City of Slaughter, the underground city left behind by the Asura God who ascended to godhood Thousand-Year ago."
"You mean Tang Chen has been living in the City of Slaughter for the past seventy years?"
Qian Ye: "Yes, he's always been in the City of Slaughter..."
So, Qian Ye told Qian Daoliu how Tang Chen entered the City of Slaughter, how he discovered the inheritance of the Asura God, and how he failed the Asura Nine Trials, only passing the eighth trial before being possessed by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
However, the fact that the Rakshasa God's consciousness interfered and that he had already killed it was preserved.
After all, the Rakshasa God was related to Bibi Dong.
As for keeping the news of Tang Chen's death a secret from Qian Daoliu, Qian Ye intended to give him a surprise.
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, then returned to the question from before, "You said you brought back an old friend for me, could it be Tang Chen?"
"Grandpa Qian is indeed Grandpa Qian, he's a true visionary!" Qian Ye laughed.
"Where is he?" Qian Daoliu the main gate, feeling a pang of longing for his old friend, whom he hadn't seen in years. 🌷🍫 😝💗
I was just itching to fight him.
Seventy years have passed, Qian Daoliu wants to settle the score with him again.
"Here it is." Qian Ye suddenly took out a green jade box and held it out in front of him.
"Where is it?" Qian Daoliu looked at the green jade box, still not understanding its meaning.
Sigh~
Qian Ye was so worried. "I said Tang Chen is inside this jade box."
Haha~
Qian Daoliu suddenly burst into laughter. "You little rascal, you're joking with Grandpa Qian again! Tang Chen is such a big guy, and this jade box is only a little bigger than his head. You're telling me he's in here?"
"You little rascal, are you playing hide-and-seek with me?"
Qian Ye: "Never mind, you'll know once you open it!"
Instead of saying so much to him, let him open it himself and see for himself.
What could it be?
Qian Daoliu examined the jade box, muttering to himself, "Could it be that old ghost Tang Chen, who hasn't seen me for many years, brought me this gift?"
If you weigh it in your hand, it's quite heavy.
I just don't know what kind of good stuff it is?
Finally, with a single effort, Qian Daoliu pried open the jade box...
"This... this... this... is... Tang Chen's... head?!"
Upon seeing what was inside, Qian Daoliu lost all composure. His hands trembled, his pupils dilated, and his face paled drastically. ♠🐳 👻👤
Bang~
Finally, he lost his grip on the jade box, and it fell to the ground with a thud. The head with long hair rolled out of it.
Fortunately, the jade box was sturdy and showed no signs of damage.
Qian Ye casually took it back.
After calming down for a moment, Qian Daoliu reached out and picked up the head again, examining it carefully. It was indeed Tang Chen.
"Xiao Ye, from what I've observed, the blood on Tang Chen's wound hasn't clotted long yet. Judging from the location of the wound, it must have been slashed with a single, incredibly fast and powerful blow; otherwise, such a uniform cut wouldn't have been made. He must have only recently died, right?"
Qian Ye: "This jade box of mine has a preservation function. In reality, he was killed with a single blow a month ago; it should be said, an instant kill."
"Instant kill? How is that possible?" Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Ye in complete disbelief upon hearing the news. "Tang Chen... was invincible on land back then, he should have been even more powerful in the City of Slaughter! He also possesses the Asura Demon Sword, who could kill him instantly?"
Qian Ye: "..."
There are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people; if a person can't kill him, a god can.
Poison is acceptable.
The corrosive toxicity of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King is also effective.
The Rakshasa God's interference caused him to fall and descend into evil.
"Me," Qian Ye said truthfully.
"You?" Qian Daoliu turned his gaze back to Qian Ye: "Xiao Ye, your Grandpa Qian is known as the Invincible in the Sky. Even he was slightly defeated by him back then. I fought him for three days and three nights, giving it my all, and I was still slightly defeated by him. You think you can defeat him in one move?"
"Even though I heard you're already Titled Douluo, level ninety-nine Limit Douluo, it's impossible for you to kill Tang Chen in one move, right?"
"Indeed," Qian Ye laughed, "But I'm not just an ordinary Level 99, nor am I just an ordinary Peerless Douluo. I'm already Level 100 God with ten rings."
"Little... Xiao Ye, have you become a god?" Qian Daoliu's eyes lit up with fervor. He couldn't believe it at all, but he had no choice but to believe it, after all, he was the one who brought back Tang Chen's head.
"Yes," Qian Ye said earnestly.
His body was already fluctuating with Soul Power, and golden wings sprouted from his back.
Until twelve pairs, twenty-four golden wings grew on his back.
Buzz buzz buzz~
One by one, Golden Soul Ring rose from beneath him...
Gold gold gold gold gold gold gold gold gold.
Qian Daoliu looked closely and saw that he was already wearing ten Golden Soul Ring.
Xiao Ye... Xiao Ye has truly become a god!
Ten Golden Soul Ring, one Million Years, ten lasting ten million years—that's True God.
Then, a golden Angel, hundreds of feet tall, with twelve pairs of twenty-four golden wings on its back, emerged from behind Qian Ye, its female form exuding an imposing aura.
Upon seeing Qian Daoliu unconsciously knelt down and kowtowed.
Qian Ye smiled slightly and helped Qian Daoliu up from the ground.
Qian Daoliu grasped his hands, which trembled with excitement. He never expected that his momentary lapse of judgment back then, which led him to pick up and adopt the boy, would result in him being adopted by mistake. He had not held any hope for him, but unexpectedly, he had brought back a supreme genius.
He's only in his thirties, yet he's already a god.
Moreover, he didn't become a god through inheritance, nor through faith, but through self-cultivation using his Martial Soul and Soul Power!
Indeed, he was a prodigy, an extraordinary being.
It seems that arranging Xiao Xue for him back then was the right decision.
"Xiao Ye, now that you've become a god, I can rest assured that I'm entrusting the Spirit Hall and Xiao Xue to you."
Qian Ye nodded. "Don't worry, Grandpa Chiba, as long as I'm here, Xiao Xue and the Spirit Hall will not fall."
"Alright! Alright!" A long-lost smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face. He then lifted Tang Chen's head and said, "Xiao Ye, Xiao Xue is in the back mountain. Go and check on her. I'll take Tang Chen's head to the Douluo Hall."
"OK."
Without saying a word, Qian Daoliu vanished from his spot in a flash.
Qian Ye smiled and turned to walk towards the Small Forest Elder Hall.
They also guessed why Qian Daoliu was taking Tang Chen's head to the Douluo Hall.
According to the rules previously established by the Spirit Hall, a monument would be erected in the Douluo Hall to commemorate each deceased Titled Douluo. That is why the Spirit Hall specifically set up the Douluo Hall.
Needless to say, Qian Daoliu took Tang Chen's head to the Douluo Hall to set up a memorial tablet for him.
