Seeing Qian Renxue Again

As soon as Prince Xue Xing spoke, another group of ministers stepped forward to refute Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue glared viciously at Xue Xing.

She knew that within the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Xing was perhaps the person who hated Spirit Hall the most, and he was also her political rival.

Whenever she defended Spirit Hall, Xue Xing deliberately made things difficult for her.

It seemed that Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire were truly about to tear off all pretense.

"Prince Xue Xing is right."

"Qinghe, your concerns are valid."

"But how could the dignity of the Heaven Dou Empire be trampled upon by others?" Xue Ye said coldly, his eyes icy. "Guards, convey my decree. Summon Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Yu Yuanzhen, Clan Leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, to discuss this matter at once!"

Prince Xue Xing immediately revealed a smug expression and looked toward Xue Qinghe. "Xue Qinghe, you want to protect Spirit Hall? I refuse to let you have your way!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is terrible!"

Just then, an imperial knight rushed inside in a panic.

"Why are you so flustered?" Xue Ye asked calmly.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... has... has been destroyed!!" the imperial knight said in terror and anguish.

The court instantly fell silent. Prince Xue Xing's expression changed drastically!

"What?" Xue Ye sprang to his feet. "Say that again."

"This morning, the guards responsible for patrols reported that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been reduced to ruins. Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Sword Bone Douluo have both disappeared. Corpses cover the entire sect!!" the imperial knight said through gritted teeth.

Xue Ye collapsed onto the dragon throne, nearly fainting.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been his right-hand support.

And now, it was simply gone?!

Prince Xue Xing and the others swallowed involuntarily.

They had just claimed they did not fear Spirit Hall, yet even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been wiped out.

All of them felt a chill run down their necks.

Not long afterward.

The court session ended.

Qian Renxue hurried back to the Crown Prince's residence.

Before long, Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo hurried over.

"Uncle She, what happened? How could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have been destroyed?" Qian Renxue asked anxiously.

"I don't know, Young Mistress!" Snake Lance Douluo shook his head. "Even Spirit Hall is shocked. Young Mistress, you should know that aside from Sword Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, the greatest support-type soul master in the world, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also had five thousand disciples. Spirit Hall could not possibly destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in such a short time!"

"If it wasn't Spirit Hall, then who could it have been?" Qian Renxue frowned.

Across the entire continent, besides Spirit Hall, what other force possessed the ability to destroy a super sect?

"Oh, Young Mistress, there is something else." Snake Lance Douluo continued.

"What is it?"

"Word has come from Spirit Hall that His Holiness the new Pope, Qian Renchu, is no longer in Spirit City. His whereabouts are unknown," Snake Lance Douluo added.

"Brother isn't in Spirit City! Could it have been Brother?" Qian Renxue was slightly startled.

"But, Young Mistress, His Holiness the Pope was alone. It doesn't seem very likely." Snake Lance Douluo shook his head.

To annihilate a sect of five thousand people, and to erase it so completely, Snake Lance Douluo believed that even if the entire Spirit Hall Elder Hall mobilized, they might not have been able to do it so cleanly.

"Who says one person can't destroy a mere Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" At that moment, a tall, jade-like, devastatingly handsome man swaggered through the gates of the Crown Prince's residence.

"Who goes there... Ah... Greetings, Young Master!" Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo first flew into a rage, then were simultaneously shocked and respectfully dropped to their knees.

"Brother!" Qian Renxue immediately changed back to her true appearance and threw herself into the newcomer's arms.

This person was none other than Qian Renchu.

"You little Xue, you ran out of Spirit City without even saying goodbye. Do you still have any regard for your brother?" Qian Renchu reproached her lightly, but his voice was incomparably gentle.

"I'm sorry, Brother. My current identity is the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. I couldn't help it," Qian Renxue said with slight guilt.

"You know you couldn't help it, do you?" Qian Renchu flicked Qian Renxue's smooth forehead. "A dignified young mistress of Spirit Hall, a genius with Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty, yet you willingly chose to live behind a mask?"

There was one part reproach, five parts self-blame, and four parts heartache in Qian Renchu's words.

He pitied her. He blamed Qian Renxue for not thinking of herself, for being willing to sacrifice her best years just to prove herself before that vicious woman Bibi Dong. She had worn a mask all this time, living in this deep palace compound, treading on thin ice in a den of dragons and tigers.

He blamed himself even more for remaining on Destruction Island, powerless to prevent all this from happening.

Qian Renxue saw through Qian Renqin's thoughts and fell silent for a moment. Before long, she changed the subject. "Wait, Brother, weren't you also not in Spirit City?"

"Wait, Brother, what did you just say? Did you really destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?!"

"Mm." Qian Renchu nodded.

"Brother, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had Sword Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and five thousand soul masters. You destroyed it alone?!" Qian Renxue asked in utter shock.

"To me, it was effortless," Qian Renchu said calmly.

Indeed, destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been far easier than Qian Renqin had imagined. It had taken only ten short minutes.

Hearing Qian Renchu's confirmation, Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo were left utterly dumbfounded.

If it had been anyone else, the two of them would have scoffed. With the Clear Sky Sect living in seclusion, it was considered the number one sect in the world!

But the one speaking was Qian Renchu—a twenty-three-year-old Ultimate Douluo who had slain Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao and personally judged Bibi Dong.

They could not help but believe him.

With their doubts gone, all that remained was shock and admiration.

At twenty-three, he had single-handedly destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He was undoubtedly the first person of his kind in all of history!

"Brother, just how strong are you?" Qian Renxue was equally full of admiration and disbelief.

"Only level ninety-seven, I suppose." Qian Renchu did not hide it from Qian Renxue. "But even against Grandfather, I should still be able to defeat him within three moves!"

Qian Renxue, Snake Lance Douluo, and Pufferfish Douluo all froze at once, feeling as though their minds could no longer process this.

Compared to Qian Renchu, their cultivation had simply gone to the dogs.

"Little Xue, don't change the subject!" Qian Renchu looked seriously at Qian Renxue. "Tell Brother, why did you give up your precious youth and come alone to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent?"

"I..." Qian Renxue paused before continuing, "Brother, I won't hide it from you either. You know that Mother... Bibi Dong has always hated us, hated Father, and hated the Qian Clan. She called me worthless in front of me. I just wanted to prove myself to her, so I accepted this infiltration plan."

"Besides, Brother, after you left, I missed you so much. I wanted to use the dangers of this plan to stop myself from missing you."
