The majestic, profound golden gates of the Worship Hall were slowly pushed open by a vast, immense force.
Qian Renxue stepped gracefully and steadily into the hall, the highest forbidden ground of Spirit Hall.
Along both sides of the resplendent golden hall stood several towering figures emanating overwhelming pressure.
Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, a peak level ninety-eight powerhouse, stood surrounded by the faint, ferocious phantom of a Golden Crocodile Dragon.
Third Worship, Azure Luan Douluo, had azure wind-force howling and spinning around his body.
Fourth Worship, Mighty Lion Douluo, had fiery red hair and emitted violent, unmatched waves of blazing heat.
Sixth Worship Qian Jun Douluo and Seventh Worship Jiang Mo Douluo stood on either side, their Coiling Dragon Staff intent astonishing.
Aside from Light Feather Douluo, who remained in Heaven Dou City to closely monitor the situation,
Spirit Hall's true core forces standing at the pinnacle of the continent had all gathered here.
Beneath the Six-Winged Angel statue at the top of the towering hall stood the most imposing figure of all: Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder and one of the three Peerless Douluo of the current era.
Qian Renxue had barely taken half a step into the Worship Hall.
Five terrifyingly immense spiritual powers immediately swept across her delicate body like a net covering heaven and earth.
The expressions of these Super Douluo standing at the very peak of the continent all turned exceedingly strange.
Soul Sage level!
Pure, flawless sacred angel Soul Power!
There was no trace of disguise through any sinister secret technique.
Nor were there any bizarre side effects from overdrawing her life potential in exchange for an outburst of power.
"Strange. Something is definitely wrong here."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's thick brows twisted into a tight knot as his fan-sized fingers forcefully scratched at his steel-needle beard.
The secret report sent back by the Heaven Dou City spies had clearly stated that the young mistress had transformed into a blood-red killing god and slain Gui Mei on the spot.
How could a mere Soul Sage possibly cross two entire major realms to kill a Titled Douluo?
Who would believe something so absurd if it were told aloud?
Deep within Qian Renxue's spiritual sea of blood.
Qian Sha Yu was also sizing up these worshippers.
Looking at that row of imposing old men with their soaring auras, Qian Sha Yu's mouth could not stop twitching.
So many peak Douluo and Super Douluo. And on top of that, there was Qian Daoliu, a ceiling-level existence.
With such a suffocatingly terrifying lineup, who in all Douluo Continent could resist them?
"Spirit Hall began the original story with such an overpowered, fully maxed-out hand. How the hell did they lose to that brat Tang San?"
Qian Sha Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.
Then inspiration flashed through his mind, and he instantly cracked the case.
"Damn it!"
"It was all because of this little holy mother right in front of me!"
In the original story, this girl's love-struck brain had acted up time and again. She repeatedly showed Tang San mercy and held back.
She gave him equipment, gave him experience, and even gave him chances to strike back.
Only after escaping death multiple times did Tang San develop wildly like an unkillable cockroach.
And it was not just Qian Renxue. Hu Liena and the others had contributed as well.
Spirit Hall had forcibly thrown away an excellent position.
Qian Sha Yu slapped the table and rose to his feet.
His gaze turned cold as he silently made up his mind.
"The wise do not fall into love. Building a beautiful Spirit Hall is the proper path!"
"As long as I am here in this life, if Qian Renxue dares become love-struck, I'll break her legs!"
Upon the pure-gold throne at the very top of the hall.
Qian Daoliu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
Two dazzling golden beams shot forth like sharp swords.
The eyes of this unrivaled powerhouse of the current age were filled with deep affection and concern.
"Xue'er, you have suffered these years while infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent."
Qian Renxue gave a slight bow. "For Spirit Hall's great cause, Xue'er has not suffered."
"Grandfather already knows about the palace coup in Heaven Dou City."
"Grandfather only wishes to ask you one thing in person."
"Elder Gui Mei... was he truly killed by your own hand?"
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, but his tone abruptly became extremely solemn.
The temperature throughout the entire hall dropped to freezing.
The worshippers all held their breath and pricked up their ears.
They too wanted an answer.
Qian Renxue stood in the center of the hall, her slender and well-proportioned body stiffening slightly.
After a moment of silence.
Qian Renxue first nodded heavily, then shook her head with great conflict.
This action left everyone confused and astonished.
Golden Crocodile Douluo had the most impatient temperament, and he immediately grew so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
"Young Mistress, why are you nodding and shaking your head? Did you kill him or not? Just give us a straight answer!"
Qian Renxue clenched her pearly teeth.
She knew perfectly well that something so shocking could never be concealed from her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.
Moreover, the Second Personality within her that could seize control of her body at any moment—and even use her body to do strange things—was ultimately an enormous and unpredictable hidden danger.
Since it could not be explained through Martial Soul theory that normal people could understand, she might as well lay everything bare.
Qian Renxue steeled herself and instantly became a self-destructing truck with no reservations.
"Grandfather, esteemed worshipper grandfathers."
"Elder Gui Mei did indeed die by my hand."
"But to be precise, he was killed by my body."
"And the will that controlled the murder at the time was not mine."
The temperature in the hall dropped to freezing.
Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered.
"Not you? Then who was it?"
Qian Renxue gathered her courage and confessed loudly.
"It was the 'Second Personality' born within me!"
"It is a Second Personality that possesses the power of ultimate slaughter!"
Those few sentences echoed beneath the hall's vaulted ceiling,
yet the shock they caused was like violent thunder crashing down from the ninth heaven.
"What the fuck!!!"
Deep within the spiritual sea of blood.
Qian Sha Yu, who had been sitting with one leg crossed over the other and preparing to watch the show, was instantly dumbfounded.
"This little bitch actually exposed me?"
"I fought and killed up front, taking bullets for you, and then you turned around and sold me out completely?"
Wasn't the plan to lie low, develop quietly, and observe from the shadows?
Qian Renxue had actually taken the initiative to label him mentally split before the strongest group in the entire continent?
Qian Sha Yu raged and stomped about within her sea of consciousness.
He wanted nothing more than to rush out, press Qian Renxue over his lap, and give her a hard spanking.
Inside the hall, it was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others were all utterly dumbfounded, wondering whether they had hallucinated the words.
Even Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu, who stood high above all others and possessed incomparably rich experience, showed a clear fluctuation and pause in his aura.
A Second Personality?
Split personality?
A murderous Second Personality capable of killing a Titled Douluo?
This completely overturned the fundamental understanding of Martial Souls passed down across Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years.
Qian Daoliu's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed dozens of meters to arrive directly before Qian Renxue.
He extended a slightly trembling finger.
Sacred light flickered at his fingertip as it gently touched Qian Renxue's brow.
Boundless, incomparably pure sacred angel Soul Power surged into Qian Renxue's body like a rushing river.
He intended to personally drag out this so-called "Second Personality" lurking in the shadows.
Within the spiritual sea of blood, Qian Sha Yu sneered. "You want to investigate my background?"
"Old man, even if you cultivated for another ten thousand years, you would still be nowhere close!"
The supreme concealment power belonging to the transmigrator's system activated at once, cutting off all heavenly-secret detection.
Qian Daoliu's vast divine consciousness carefully inspected Qian Renxue's body three full times.
Yet apart from incomparably pure angel Soul Power, he found absolutely nothing.
Qian Daoliu withdrew his finger somewhat blankly, his brows furrowing into a deep crease.
"Xue'er, there is clearly not the slightest abnormality within your body."
"What?"
Qian Renxue was stunned at first.
But she quickly understood, and a bitter expression appeared on her face.
Even Grandfather could not detect Qian Sha Yu's existence!
