If Qian Renxue had truly died, the Worship Hall would have received the news immediately and gone mad!
They might even have done something that shook the entire continent!
Yet the Worship Hall was so calm at this moment.
"Something's wrong!"
"It must be the Worship Hall and Qian Renxue's doing. What exactly are they trying to do?" Bibi Dong's face darkened as she quickly realized that the Worship Hall had acted deliberately.
Before long, Ghost Douluo and Ju Douluo appeared. Clearly, they had also learned of Xue Qinghe's death.
"Your Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong's expression remained grim.
The Heaven Dou Infiltration Plan was extremely important to Bibi Dong. She wanted to lead Spirit Hall in unifying the continent and firmly establish her position.
Then, she would finally achieve her ultimate goal of revenge and retribution.
As long as the Heaven Dou Infiltration Plan succeeded, Spirit Hall's unification of the continent would be within easy reach.
That was why she had deliberately provoked and agitated the still-young Qian Renxue into infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire.
And Qian Renxue was the only one capable of carrying out this plan.
Because only Qian Renxue could use one of the Six-winged Angel's Inherited Spirit Bones to disguise herself perfectly.
But now, Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince Qian Renxue had been impersonating, was dead!
Didn't that plainly mean the infiltration plan had failed?!
It even seemed that the Worship Hall and Qian Renxue had done it deliberately, taking the initiative to abandon the plan.
The Worship Hall had decided on such a major plan without saying a word, without even informing her, the Pope.
This was a blatant refusal to treat Bibi Dong with any respect at all!
"How outrageous!!"
Bibi Dong smashed the scepter in her hand in fury.
Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, standing before her, were sweating under Bibi Dong's rage. "Y-Your Holiness the Pope, what exactly happened with Young Master Qian Renxue?"
Bibi Dong's face was icy as she ignored the question and immediately ordered, "Elder Moonlight! Elder Ghostly!"
"Notify every elder in Spirit City at the Titled Douluo level, as well as all the powerful senior officials! Gather them all and follow me to the Worship Hall!"
"We'll demand an explanation from the Worship Elders!!"
Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, then immediately went to carry out her orders. "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"
Meanwhile.
The returning Qian Renxue had arrived before the gates of the Worship Hall.
The massive doors slowly opened.
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, the two Worship Elders, walked out and bowed slightly. "Welcome back, Young Master."
"Please come in. The Great Enshrined is already waiting for you inside."
"Mm~"
Qian Renxue nodded and stepped into the Worship Hall where she had once lived for nine whole years, her heart filled with excitement and unease.
Then, before the stone statue radiating the sacred aura of the Divine Angel God, she saw the figure she had longed for.
"Grandfather~!"
Qian Renxue ran toward Qian Daoliu without hesitation and threw herself into his warm embrace.
A long-lost kindly smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face. He gently patted Qian Renxue's shoulder and said softly, "Little Xue, you must have suffered a great deal and endured many grievances during these two and a half years in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace."
How could he not know that life in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace had been difficult for Qian Renxue?
"Suffering wasn't a big deal. It's just that I... I really missed home. I really missed you, Grandfather." Nestled in Qian Daoliu's arms, Qian Renxue felt a warmth she had not felt in a long time.
"Then from now on, you can see Grandfather every day. Little Xue, you won't have to leave Spirit City again."
Qian Renxue finally could not help asking, "Grandfather, what exactly did that brat Guang Yu do? Why did you suddenly call me back?"
Qian Daoliu told Qian Renxue everything that had happened.
He told her that she could become the Angel God's inheritor.
He also told her what Guang Yu had done over the past half year to bring Qian Renxue back, as well as how he had risked his life fighting the Blazing Shadow Leopard.
After learning everything, Qian Renxue was shocked twice over.
First, she was shocked that she could actually become the Angel God's inheritor!
Second, she was shocked that Guang Yu, not even seven years old, had been able to kill a five-thousand-year Blazing Shadow Leopard?
Qian Renxue finally understood everything.
She understood why Guang Yu had said that bringing her back was for Spirit Hall's sake!
She also understood why Qian Daoliu had told Snake Lance to explain to her that her value after returning would surpass that of infiltrating the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
If she truly could become the Angel God, then that was indeed true.
But Qian Renxue could not help doubting herself. "Can I really become the Angel God?"
Qian Daoliu said solemnly, "Little Xue, there is no need to doubt yourself. Now that you have returned, there is only one thing you need to do: cultivate diligently and grow stronger until you meet the requirements to undergo the Divine Exam after opening the Angel God's Trial."
The conditions for undergoing the Angel God's Trial were reaching the age of eighteen and attaining the Soul Sage level in Soul Power.
As long as they met these two requirements, members of the Six-winged Angel clan could begin God's Trial.
Qian Renxue was now eleven and a half years old, leaving her six and a half years until she turned eighteen.
Her current Soul Power was at the peak of Rank 39 in the three-ring Soul Elder Realm.
In fact, she had entered the Soul Elder Realm before she was even nine. But infiltrating the imperial palace had delayed her cultivation for the past two and a half years, and her Soul Power had only risen by a few ranks.
Otherwise, she would already have become a Soul Ancestor powerhouse.
"Become the Angel God..."
Hearing this, an inexplicable pressure suddenly rose within Qian Renxue's heart, because she knew very well what kind of public pressure Spirit Hall would face if she failed to inherit the Angel God Position and begin the Nine Trials.
She took a deep breath. "I understand, Grandfather."
"Now that I'm back, no matter what happens, Little Xue will cultivate with all her strength and strive to become the Angel God's inheritor!"
She then asked, "Um, Grandfather, where is Guang Yu?"
Guang Yu had done so much for her. She was deeply grateful, and somewhat moved as well.
If not for Guang Yu, she likely would have spent her youth in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"He's in Guang Ling's mimetic cultivation grounds. Go find him. You should thank him properly in person."
"Mm-hm, then I'm going, Grandfather."
At this moment, in Guang Ling's mimetic cultivation grounds.
Guang Yu was intensifying his training in several archery techniques, including Penetrating Arrow and Explosive Arrow.
Suddenly, a clear female voice came from behind him.
"Hey~!"
Guang Yu stopped shooting and turned to look at Qian Renxue behind him.
When he saw that it was Qian Renxue, the corners of Guang Yu's lips lifted into a faint smile. "Heh heh, you're back! Young Master."
"Mm, I'm back."
The two spoke as though they were casually chatting about everyday matters, their conversation seeming relaxed.
But in truth, Qian Renxue had already begun taking this boy seriously. She slowly walked up to Guang Yu.
"Thank you, Guang Yu." Qian Renxue sincerely thanked him from the bottom of her heart.
Then she bent down and gently kissed Guang Yu's little face. Pulling her lips away, a long-lost smile appeared on her face. "From now on, call me Sister Xue'er!"
