When Light Feather Douluo brought this news back to Qian Daoliu,
Qian Daoliu's fury nearly blew the roof off the Worship Hall.
With things having reached this point, how could he fail to see that someone had stolen his granddaughter's heart?
Her relationship with that Jiang Li was absolutely not as simple as she usually claimed when she came back.
"Damn it, that damned brat! Don't let me get a chance to meet you."
"Otherwise..."
"Tell the people below to hurry up and decipher the Elf Clan's writing!"
Qian Daoliu could hardly wait to head to the Holy Demon Continent now.
He was not the only one. In the Papal Hall in Spirit City, Bibi Dong had also learned of Qian Renxue's return.
She had even wanted to take this opportunity to meet Qian Renxue.
Some time ago, she had successfully passed the Rakshasa God's eighth trial.
She could now control her emotions for short periods.
Although she still harbored misgivings toward Qian Renxue, she was no longer being eroded by the Rakshasa God's evil thoughts.
Thus, she wanted to use this opportunity to have some contact with Qian Renxue.
While she was at it, she wanted to find out where Qian Renxue had been going during her frequent disappearances lately.
Of course, what she actually wanted was to learn about that entirely new continent.
She had never expected Qian Renxue to deny her even a chance to meet.
Anger and disappointment lingered in her heart at the same time.
Bibi Dong's emotions, already complicated, grew even more tangled.
"That damned old bastard..."
Soon, Bibi Dong redirected those feelings elsewhere.
In her view, all of this was because those old bastards in the Worship Hall were meddling, keeping Qian Renxue from coming to see her.
If she could have beaten Qian Daoliu now, she would already have charged straight to the Worship Hall.
Meanwhile, on the Holy Demon Continent, Jiang Li was watching the preliminary matches below from the spectator stands.
As a Fifth Order Earth Knight, he had byes for the first two rounds and did not need to compete at all.
Even in the later matches, the temple would arrange other Fifth Order opponents for him whenever possible.
He was happy to enjoy the leisure.
Not only he, but his junior brother Long Haochen also had byes for his first two rounds.
It had to be said that the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Tournament moved very quickly. To select talented contenders, over sixty matches would be fought on the first day alone. At this rate, the first round would be over in three days.
Only then would the true battle for the rankings begin.
"Junior brother, did you give the pills to Li Xin?"
Watching Li Xin sweep all before her in the arena, Jiang Li caught on to what had happened.
Barring any surprises, Li Xin's mount would soon advance, putting it on par with a human at the Fifth Order.
Moreover, Long Haochen had given Li Xin the pills he had obtained from Lin Xin.
Those pills were enough to raise her cultivation another level.
With that, Li Xin might really achieve a good result.
Besides, her results in the original story had not been bad either.
"Many of those pills don't do anything for me anymore."
Long Haochen smiled and scratched his head.
Jiang Li merely nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Since those things had been given to Long Haochen, however he handled them was rightfully his decision.
"I'll head back to our lodgings first."
Sensing the fluctuations of Qian Renxue's power, Jiang Li knew she was coming back, so he did not linger there.
These people's combat experience was truly rather lacking.
It would be difficult for him to improve just by watching their matches.
He might as well go back and see what Qian Renxue had brought.
"Then I'll go back and cultivate too!"
After seeing Li Xin win, Long Haochen had no intention of staying long either.
The two fellow disciples then returned to their lodgings together.
As soon as they arrived, Qian Renxue appeared before Jiang Li.
"Jiang Li, I brought you the Soul Beast you wanted."
"But I couldn't find a dragon-type Soul Beast. Given their size, there simply wasn't a Storage Soul Tool large enough that could also store living creatures."
The moment they met, Qian Renxue began sharing the good news.
However, when she mentioned that she had failed to bring back a dragon-type Soul Beast, her spirits sank somewhat.
"I just personally prefer dragon-type Soul Beasts. I never insisted you had to bring one back."
"Besides, from your description, most of the dragon-type Soul Beasts found on the Douluo Continent are lesser dragons, not pureblood true dragons..."
"A Holy Light White Tiger is very good too. It's very suitable."
Seeing Qian Renxue looking somewhat downcast, Jiang Li spoke with a smile.
Only after hearing Jiang Li say this did Qian Renxue's slight disappointment fade.
"Should I let it out here?"
Qian Renxue then lightly patted her Storage Soul Tool, indicating that the ten-thousand-year Holy Light White Tiger was inside.
She was also very curious whether the ten-thousand-year Holy Light White Tiger was still alive and what Jiang Li wanted to use it for.
"Yes!"
Glancing at the relatively open surroundings, Jiang Li nodded.
Qian Renxue then released it from the Storage Soul Tool.
It was a fierce tiger over three meters long, its entire body radiating an aura of sacred light. Its white fur and golden markings complemented each other, lending it an auspicious air.
"Perhaps it really could serve as a mount."
Jiang Li took a liking to the still-unconscious Holy Light White Tiger at first glance.
It really was very good.
By comparison, those lesser dragon Soul Beasts seemed rather ordinary.
"Wake up!"
Without another word, Jiang Li slapped the Holy Light White Tiger on the head.
At the same time, he began circulating his internal spiritual power, and Qian Renxue immediately activated Martial Soul Possession beside him.
Ultimately, this was a wild beast, not one of the Magical Beast mounts on Knight Sacred Mountain.
Struck with such tremendous force, the ten-thousand-year Holy Light White Tiger gradually regained some awareness.
In its daze, it seemed to remember being attacked. The moment it realized this, it gave a sudden start, and its Soul Beast instincts drove it to guard against its surroundings.
Before it could do anything, Jiang Li clamped a hand down on its head, pinning it firmly in place.
"Shut up!"
Jiang Li's physique was already comparable to that of a Fourth Order Knight. With internal spiritual power driving it as well, he also brought the suppression of his Sword Intent to bear as he spoke in a low voice.
Under these circumstances, he actually managed to cow the ten-thousand-year Holy Light White Tiger.
At that moment, Qian Renxue also released her Angel Domain, enhancing Jiang Li's strength while suppressing the Holy Light White Tiger.
"I know you can understand what I'm saying."
"Cooperate, and I can give you a way to live. Dare to resist, and death will be your only end."
Jiang Li pinned the Holy Light White Tiger firmly to the ground, his words laden with menace.
