Seizing the Eight Spider Lances! Kill Our Way to Holy Soul Village!

Qian Xunye truly could not withstand little Qian Renxue's spoiled pleas. He looked at her fondly and said, "All right, all right. Uncle will cook for you."

"Hehe, Uncle is the best~"

Before long, Qian Renxue was stuffed full. She lay on the comfortable grass, burping with a blissful expression. "So comfy... Xiaoxue hasn't eaten this much in a long time~"

"Hehe, silly girl. A few instant noodles got you this full? Next time, Uncle will make hot pot for you."

"Hot pot!?" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. Though she had never heard of it, it had to be delicious. "Okay! Okay!~"

After eating and drinking their fill, uncle and niece leaned against a tree and gazed at the night sky.

Beneath the beautiful starry sky, with the breeze blowing as they watched the sea of stars, chatted, and shared their thoughts, everything felt wonderfully peaceful.

The two seemed to have endless things to say, and before they knew it, they had talked until eleven at night.

Their relationship had instantly grown much closer.

"All right, it's getting late. Get some rest early. Uncle will keep watch tonight."

"Okay. If Uncle gets sleepy, wake Xiaoxue up so I can take over for you~"

Qian Xunye shook his head with a smile. "Silly girl, Uncle is a Titled Douluo. It doesn't matter if I go days and nights without sleep. Just sleep soundly."

But at that moment, Qian Xunye's expression suddenly changed.

He sensed a sinister creature lurking in the shadows and quietly drawing near.

It was not far away.

He did not even need Dark Night Power; Qian Xunye's spiritual power could scan it.

"Oh? It's actually a Man-Faced Demon Spider. Daring to attack us is simply courting death." A cold glint flashed through Qian Xunye's eyes.

He examined it carefully, and his expression shifted slightly. "Its cultivation is around eighteen hundred years. It will have no trouble reaching two thousand years in eleven years."

"Wait, could this be the one that drops the Eight Spider Lances?"

Man-Faced Demon Spiders cultivated quickly. They could speed up breakthroughs in their cultivation by hunting and absorbing the energy of other soul beasts.

It was now over eighteen hundred years old. By the point in time when Tang San obtained the Eight Spider Lances, reaching two thousand years of cultivation would indeed not be a problem.

But whether or not it was that Man-Faced Demon Spider, such evil soul beasts were pests of the soul beast world. If he encountered one, he would kill it if he could.

At that moment, a vicious smile appeared on the Man-Faced Demon Spider's face, as if it were saying, "It's been a long time since I ate a human. Hehehe~"

It had already entered hunting range. In the next second, it burst forth at incredible speed and crawled out.

Its eight spider legs scuttled rapidly, moving with astonishing speed.

"Riiip~"

It sprang into the air, about to tear Qian Xunye's head apart.

"It's a Man-Faced Demon Spider! Uncle, be careful!!"

"Courting death!"

Qian Xunye casually threw a punch.

Boom!

Splat!

In an instant, the Man-Faced Demon Spider's head exploded on the spot!

One punch, an instant kill!

"Could it be that one?"

Qian Xunye silently watched the Man-Faced Demon Spider's corpse. A few seconds later, its body suddenly began to emit energy, which gradually condensed into an external soul bone—the Eight Spider Lances.

"Oh my god, an external soul bone!"

"Uncle, what kind of luck is this! An external soul bone has a drop rate far lower than a soul bone, yet we got two in a single day!!~" Qian Renxue was utterly stunned.

"Hahaha! It really is that Man-Faced Demon Spider!"

"It practically fell into my lap. When luck comes, nothing can stop it!" Qian Xunye laughed, in an excellent mood.

External soul bones were treasures that could only be encountered by chance. Though this one was only around eighteen hundred years old, it was still a treasure among treasures.

That was because external soul bones could continuously grow stronger alongside a soul master's cultivation, and their age would increase accordingly.

In other words, its current thousand-plus years of age would not be a problem even when advancing to godhood in the future!

"Though Tang San cannot be killed yet, weakening his future strength is still possible." Qian Xunye was immensely pleased. "Eight Spider Lances! In this life, you are mine!"

Qian Xunye immediately rushed over and absorbed the Eight Spider Lances.

A moment later.

Eight dark-purple spider legs resembling spears, with a metallic texture, grew from Qian Xunye's back.

Qian Xunye already had something of a dark aura about him, but with the Eight Spider Lances, he looked even more like a villain.

"Not bad! The compatibility is extremely high!" Qian Xunye moved the Eight Spider Lances. They responded freely, as though they were part of his own body.

He could also clearly feel that the Eight Spider Lances were exceptionally compatible with his Dark Angel Martial Soul.

The Eight Spider Lances came with three abilities.

First: they granted powerful leaping ability.

Second: devouring ability, allowing him to devour the opponent's soul power to replenish his own expended soul power.

And the basic enhancement ability possessed by every external soul bone. The Eight Spider Lances' effect was: a fifty percent increase to all attributes and a fifty percent increase in movement speed.

"Very good. With these Eight Spider Lances, my strength has risen to another level."

"This trip has truly been a massive harvest." Qian Xunye smiled and withdrew his power. "All right, Xiaoxue, go rest."

After that, the night passed without incident.

The next morning.

Qian Xunye took Qian Renxue and left Star Dou Forest.

Some time later, the two returned to Spirit City.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had received word in advance. They immediately left Pope's Palace, preparing to meet Qian Xunye in the city.

Before long, the two arrived near Qian Xunye.

Seeing them, Qian Xunye stopped and said to Qian Renxue, "Xiaoxue, head back to Pope's Palace by yourself. Uncle has to go out for a while."

"Uncle, why are you leaving again! Didn't you say you would teach Xiaoxue how to cultivate?" Qian Renxue pouted, somewhat unhappy.

"Don't worry. Uncle will be back in a few days."

"Okay~! Then Xiaoxue will wait for Uncle to come back!"

"Mm, be good. Go on."

Watching Qian Renxue's lone figure leave, Qian Xunye murmured, "Not only Tang Hao, Uncle will clear away every obstacle for you. When you become strong, this world will be yours for the taking!"

"Elders! Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo instantly appeared beside Qian Xunye.

The three left Spirit City.

"By the way, Young Master Xunye, Tang Hao vanished without a trace after escaping from us when he seriously injured us back then. Where are we going to find him?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.

"Holy Soul Village."

Ghost Douluo asked, "Holy Soul Village? Near which remote border city is that?"

Qian Xunye said, "Near Notting City."

"What! That bastard is actually hiding near Notting City! Tang Hao sure has some nerve!"

Notting City was located at the border between the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo.

Spirit City was also situated between the two empires, so it was not far from Notting City. It could even be said to be quite close.

At most, it was a two-day journey.

"The most dangerous place is often the safest. Besides, other than low-level soul masters going there to awaken, no one would visit such a rural place."

"Let's pick up the pace and head straight for Holy Soul Village!"

"Great, Young Master Xunye! The two of us have long been impatient to wash away our humiliation!!" Both of them were excited.

And so, the three made their way toward Holy Soul Village.
