First Meeting with Qian Renxue: A God Descends?

Hearing the commotion behind her, Qian Renxue knew something was wrong.

Although she had used the Transforming Soul Bone from the Angel God Armor, the Soul Bone had not reached a hundred thousand years of age. Its disguise still had flaws.

And the Sky Screen's reward was about to be distributed.

Once the Golden Light enveloped her, she would have nowhere to hide.

"Young Mistress, we'll create a diversion. Take the chance to run toward Spirit Hall."

Spirit Hall's guards had thought of the same thing. They immediately turned and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Masters.

There was no better option. Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, spread the wings on her back, and seized the chance to fly out.

"Who's attacking? Is it the Star Luo Empire?"

"Idiot, it has to be Spirit Hall. Didn't you hear the envoy just now? Qian Renxue has already come here!"

Chaos broke out among the Heaven Dou Empire's forces. Someone was about to strike.

But a friend beside him quickly stopped him:

"Are you insane? She's Spirit Hall's young mistress! If Qian Renxue dies at our hands, we'll all be buried with her!"

But far too many Soul Masters had gathered at the border.

Although plenty realized that killing Qian Renxue would provoke Spirit Hall's fury, many others still hoped to fish in troubled waters.

"Look! Someone's flying out! Attack!"

At the shouts, countless Soul Skills came crashing toward Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue's Angel Martial Soul was exceptionally fast, but there were simply too many Soul Masters around her.

And her cultivation was not high enough to bring out the full power of a God Level Martial Soul.

Seeing the Soul Skills behind her, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, pushed her speed to its limit, and charged toward Zi Tian Palace.

"Oh no! The Heaven Dou Empire's people are trying to kill Xiao Wu in the confusion!"

The Star Luo Empire's people had been happily watching the spectacle. When they saw Qian Renxue fly toward Zi Tian Palace, their expressions changed.

Soul Skills from both sides collided, setting off a massive explosion.

When the blast cleared, Qian Renxue had vanished.

And the gates of Zi Tian Palace were just slowly closing.

"Qian Renxue got inside too. What do we do?"

Someone voiced the question.

He promptly received a smack on the head.

"Idiot. You really dare attack her? She's Spirit Hall's young mistress! Now that she's hiding in Zi Tian Palace, you should be secretly celebrating."

Caught between the two empires, Zi Tian Palace remained utterly silent within. An eerie calm settled over the scene once more.

Although Qian Renxue was safe, Qian Daoliu was deeply anxious.

The moment the Sky Screen's rankings exposed Qian Renxue's identity, Qian Daoliu flew toward the Heaven Dou Empire's palace.

But he did not find her there.

"Xue Ye, where is Qian Renxue?"

After sweeping his gaze below, Qian Daoliu landed inside the palace. The aura of a Peerless Douluo rolled outward in waves.

"Qian Daoliu, Great Enshrined of Spirit Hall. You actually came in person."

Seeing Qian Daoliu act with such impunity, a flicker of fear crossed Xue Ye's eyes.

"This is the palace of my Heaven Dou Empire. Do you intend to break our agreement?"

"Enough nonsense. Release Qian Renxue at once. Otherwise, Heaven Dou will be wiped out."

Qian Daoliu's tone was calm, but no one in the court dared think he was joking.

As one of the three surviving Peerless Douluo, he truly had the power to do it.

Not to mention the vast Spirit Hall behind him.

"...Qian Renxue fled long ago. According to our latest intelligence, she's already reached the empire's border."

Qian Daoliu had traveled too fast, and he had not expected Qian Renxue to leave so early. Somehow, the two had passed each other on the road.

"Hmph. You'd better not be lying to me."

Qian Daoliu glanced at the palace guards his aura had pressed to the ground. With a cold snort, he flew back toward the border between the two empires.

"Spirit Hall has gone too far."

Watching Qian Daoliu disappear into the distance, Xue Ye wiped the sweat from his brow. He felt as though he had just walked along the edge of life and death.

"Summon Xue Beng to the hall at once. And send word to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Have them send people to guard the palace!"

Flying into Zi Tian Palace, Qian Renxue folded her wings and froze.

Wasn't Ning Rongrong at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? When had she come here?

All the better. That saved Qian Renxue a great deal of trouble.

Just as she was about to strike, the aura of a Titled Douluo surged from beside her.

Qian Renxue looked back. Bone Douluo was staring at her with murder in his eyes.

"Qian Renxue, you've deceived us thoroughly."

As a disciple of Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Qian Renxue had naturally met Bone Douluo before.

Seeing him there, she paused and abandoned the thought of attacking.

"Bone Douluo, you've seen the state of the Heaven Dou Empire too.

Rather than let them keep dragging you down, why not have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect join Spirit Hall? The sect would surely grow stronger."

If she could bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under Spirit Hall's banner, she would not need to kill Ning Rongrong.

And the sect's support abilities could be a great help to Spirit Hall.

The abacus in Qian Renxue's mind clattered away.

Oh? She's come right in front of me to recruit people?

Zi Tian's interest was immediately piqued by Qian Renxue's words.

He did not care about the old man Bone Douluo, but Ning Rongrong had already joined Zi Tian Palace. Why would she join Spirit Hall too?

"Instead of asking them to join Spirit Hall, why don't you join Zi Tian Palace?"

Hearing Zi Tian speak, Qian Renxue turned toward him and raised an eyebrow.

Until then, her attention had been on Ning Rongrong and Bone Douluo.

But on closer inspection, she realized that the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master could only sit beside Zi Tian and attend to him.

"Who are you?"

"Zi Tian, palace master of Zi Tian Palace."

Qian Renxue thought for a moment but could recall no information about Zi Tian Palace.

"How many people are in Zi Tian Palace?"

To be safe, Qian Renxue asked anyway.

"Including you, five."

Zi Tian pointed to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong beside him, then to Xiao Wu and Qian Renxue by the gate.

"..."

Qian Renxue was speechless.

She had thought some great hidden power stood behind Zi Tian. But this was it?

Glancing at Bone Douluo, Qian Renxue decided to wait for Spirit Hall's reinforcements.

When they arrived, she would capture everyone here and take them back to Spirit Hall in one sweep.

A beam of Golden Light descended. The Sky Screen began distributing its reward.

Bathed in the Golden Light, the Six-Winged Angel behind Qian Renxue unfurled its wings, its aura growing ever stronger.

Soon, a holy radiance poured down and enveloped Qian Renxue completely.

When the radiance faded, a divine voice rang through Zi Tian Palace and continued spreading outward.

"That's divine power. Has some god descended to the mortal world?"

Outside Zi Tian Palace, the expressions of the many gods changed.
