Background / History
Qian Daoliu serves as Martial Soul Hall's Great Worship and becomes its formal highest authority after the death of Pope Qian Xunji. He presides over the Elder Palace during the resulting succession crisis and broader conflict with the Clear Sky Sect. 87
Before Nan Feng's true identity is revealed, Qian Daoliu first learns of him through Qian Renxue's complaints. He is astonished that a seemingly level-twelve child could bind her with spider silk that absorbs Sacred Soul Power and cannot be burned by Sacred Fire. 23
He is Qian Renxue's grandfather and takes an active role in watching over her. Before Qian Xunji's death, he secretly observes her growing attachment to Nan Feng and offers to house Nan Feng at the Elder Palace for her sake. 48
After Qian Xunji is gravely injured by Tang Hao, Qian Daoliu personally brings his son to the Angel God Temple for treatment. There, he recognizes that Nan Feng's mental power surpasses his own and suspects Nan Feng possesses a divine inheritance. 77
Qian Xunji later fails a divine trial and is executed by Qian Daoliu with Angelic divine power. Qian Daoliu accepts that his son's arrogance contributed to his fate, using the loss to warn Qian Renxue against following the same path. 80 82 86
Following the Clear Sky Sect crisis, Nan Feng forces Qian Daoliu and the Worship Hall to acknowledge that Qian Xunji's greed caused the conflict. With the Angel God's divine power unavailable to him and Martial Soul Hall's other experts unable to resist Nan Feng, Qian Daoliu accepts Nan Feng's terms. 125 126
Appearance
Qian Daoliu is described as tall and imposing. His presence is associated with solemnity, golden sacred light, and the authority of the Angel God Temple. 23 48
- Commands level 99 Sacred Soul Power. 25 75
- Manifests a Six-Winged Angel phantom when using his power. 75
- Uses golden sacred light and a Golden Sacred Light Shield in battle. 75
- Wields the Angel Holy Sword and can manifest his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Avatar. 108 109
Personality
Qian Daoliu is protective toward Qian Renxue, addressing her affectionately and offering measured guidance rather than simply indulging her wishes. He is perceptive enough to recognize her attachment to Nan Feng, though he initially underestimates how lasting her grief over Nan Feng's apparent death will be. 23 48 77
He is observant and analytical when faced with unfamiliar abilities. Although he cannot initially perceive how Nan Feng deploys his spider silk, he identifies that its absorption of Qian Renxue's Sacred Soul Power has assimilated it to the sacred attribute. 25 26
As Martial Soul Hall's leader, he is pragmatic and politically conscious. He recognizes that Qian Xunji's death threatens the Hall's prestige, delegates military planning when emotionally exhausted, and later compromises with Nan Feng to prevent further bloodshed at the Clear Sky Sect. 87 110
His devotion to family conflicts sharply with his duty. He initially cannot bear to kill Qian Xunji himself and asks Golden Crocodile Douluo to do so, but ultimately ends his son's suffering after the Angel God's will makes clear that the failed trial cannot be stopped. 80
Nan Feng's strength and schemes make Qian Daoliu deeply wary. He repeatedly cautions Qian Renxue not to mistake Nan Feng's easygoing manner for harmlessness, and he acts cautiously when confronting him. 77 87
Though angered by Nan Feng's public reckoning for Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu ultimately concedes that his son acted from selfish desire rather than righteousness when confronted with the consequences of the war. 125

- Qian Xunji — Son and former Pope of Martial Soul Hall. Qian Daoliu attempts to save him after Tang Hao's attack, but later kills him after his failed divine trial. He is later compelled to acknowledge that Qian Xunji's selfish greed caused the war with the Clear Sky Sect. 75 80 82 125
- Golden Crocodile Douluo — Fellow Worship and trusted political-military counterpart. Qian Daoliu protects him from Nan Feng's attacks and discusses strategy with him. 75 77 108
- Nan Feng — A level 99 peerless powerhouse whom Qian Daoliu considers dangerous, unfathomable, and possibly the holder of a god's inheritance.

- Tang Chen — A peerless rival whose possible return heavily influences Qian Daoliu's caution toward the Clear Sky Sect. Qian Daoliu had previously promised not to move against the sect unless he could defeat Tang Chen. 77
- Snow Empress — Nan Feng's powerful soul beast companion. Her intervention during the Clear Sky Sect battle forces Qian Daoliu to reconsider continuing the fight against Nan Feng. 109 110
Story Role / Major Arcs
Qian Renxue and Nan Feng
Qian Daoliu learns that Nan Feng, despite apparently being only level twelve, has trapped Qian Renxue with spider silk. He later observes their friendship from the shadows and offers Nan Feng a place in the Elder Palace so Qian Renxue will not lose his companionship. 23 48
When Qian Renxue is bound again, Qian Daoliu examines the spider silk, determines that it has assimilated her sacred attribute, and destroys it with his own superior Sacred Soul Power. Unable to detect how Nan Feng silently deploys the silk, he becomes increasingly wary of the child's hidden methods. 25 26
Qian Xunji's Injury and Death
Following Tang Hao's attack on Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu transports his severely injured son to the Angel God Temple. He investigates Nan Feng's threat, then later uses Angelic divine power to kill Qian Xunji after the failed divine trial. 77 80 82
Qian Daoliu's decision comes only after he unsuccessfully seeks the Angel God's intervention and learns that Qian Xunji's divine trial can end only in success or death. 80
Martial Soul Hall Succession
As the Hall's supreme authority after Qian Xunji's death, Qian Daoliu oversees the leadership transition. He supports Bibi Dong's rise but must contend with concerns over her youth, limited prestige, and Nan Feng's support. 87 89
Although Bibi Dong's succession proceeds, Qian Daoliu later refuses to personally preside over the public ceremony and remains in the Angel God Temple, leaving Golden Crocodile Douluo to represent the old leadership. 130
Clear Sky Sect Crisis
Qian Daoliu initially leads Martial Soul Hall's response to the Clear Sky Sect. When Nan Feng intervenes, he saves the Hall's forces from a devastating attack and battles Nan Feng with the Angel Domain. The conflict ends when the two reach an understanding and Martial Soul Hall withdraws. 108 109 110
During the battle, Qian Daoliu realizes that Nan Feng's unpredictable abilities and the Snow Empress's intervention place him at a decisive disadvantage. He therefore chooses to stand down rather than risk a fatal one-against-two confrontation. 109 110
Martial Soul Hall Reckoning
Nan Feng later confronts Qian Daoliu and the Elder Palace over Qian Xunji's responsibility for the war. Qian Daoliu initially resists exposing the truth, but Nan Feng's overwhelming pressure and the loss of his Angelic divine-power support force him to admit that the conflict arose from Qian Xunji's selfish desires. 123 125
Qian Daoliu accepts Nan Feng's terms to prevent further destruction within Spirit City. The resulting public reckoning strips Qian Xunji of his former honors and presents his actions as the cause of the conflict that devastated both Martial Soul Hall and the Clear Sky Sect. 126 131 132
