"Yes, but where am I supposed to find a suitable Soul Ring?" Thinking of this, Qi Ling was immediately stumped. After all, it was the Eighth Soul Ring of the Divine Dragon Emperor, the best Soul Ring of the five millionth year. The difficulty for the Blood Devil Emperor to find a Soul Ring like that was unimaginable.
However, the Dragon Maiden could not answer this question, because it was not within her capabilities, and the Dragon God had not left any other instructions.
Left with no other choice, Qi Ling returned to her room and began to consider how to obtain the next Soul Ring. Without such a breakthrough, she would not be able to reach the fourth island, and it seemed that she was in a predicament.
"Hehehe, how about it, brat? At a time like this, isn't it me who has to help you!" Just then, a voice suddenly came from nowhere, startling Qi Ling, because he recognized the voice as that of the Blood Devil who had been missing for a long time!
With that voice, the Blood Devil appeared before Qi Ling, looking exactly the same as before, or even better.
"You, you disappeared, how come you've reappeared?" Qi Ling looked at the Blood Devil in front of her and couldn't help but say, "What are you up to this time?"
"What, you're not welcoming me?" the Blood Devil laughed. "Hehehe, sorry, I've come out. What can you do about it?"
Unlike the composed Dragon God, the Blood Devil Demon was clearly more reckless and unscrupulous, never considering the consequences of his actions and resorting to any means to achieve his goals.
When they first arrived at Dragon God Island, Blood Devil even attacked everyone in order to achieve his goals. Although it didn't cause any serious consequences, it still infuriated Qi Ling.
At that time, I was unable to move and had no strength to fight him, but now I am in good condition and have even greater strength, so naturally I want to seek justice from him.
Seeing Qi Ling's serious expression, the Blood Devil couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, hey kid, you don't actually want to fight me, do you? Don't kid me, how could you possibly be my match? You can't even beat that Dragon Maiden, don't try to be a hero."
Qi Ling suddenly realized that there was indeed such a thing. The Dragon Maiden seemed to have no power to fight back against this guy, and the two seemed to be on completely different levels.
He couldn't even compare to the Dragon Maiden now, so he had even less chance of winning against the Blood Devil. He would probably lose completely, just like the Dragon Maiden.
But as I said before, if you know you are no match and shrink back, then you will not make progress and will never reach the top. Only those who dare to climb can reach the summit.
Qi Ling was not intimidated by the Blood Devil. After making preparations, she waved her hand, and the Immortal-Binding Rope was thrown at the Blood Devil Demon. At the same time, she drew the Xuanyuan Sword with her other hand and thrust it directly at the Blood Devil.
But the idea was nice, but reality was cruel. Qi Ling's attack had just begun, and hadn't even fully unfolded, when everything changed. Not only did the Blood Devil vanish instantly, but his Immortal Immortal-Binding Rope was now binding him.
"I told you not to be impulsive, but you wouldn't listen. How embarrassing, aren't you?" The Blood Devil's figure came from the side. He had already sat down on the stool next to him and was drinking tea.
Qi Ling reluctantly untied the Immortal-Binding Rope and retrieved the Xuanyuan Sword. The brief exchange just now had made Qi Ling realize that the two of them were not even in the same realm, and there was absolutely no need for them to fight.
Even so, Qi Ling was not afraid of him at all, because the Dragon God had said that the Blood Devil was also himself, and the current Blood Demon was merely a remnant existence relying on the laws of the world. If he were gone, the Blood Demon would also be gone.
So Qi Ling sat down opposite the Blood Devil, snatched the cup from his hand, took a sip, and said, "Tell me, what exactly is the purpose of your trip out here?"
The Blood Devil watched Qi Ling curiously until he finished his tea, then smiled and said, "My tea is poisoned."
"Pfft!" Qi Ling turned her head and spat out the tea in her mouth. This guy said it was poisonous, so who knows what kind of terrifying poison it might be.
"Hahaha, just kidding! I drank the tea myself, how could it be poisoned?" But the Blood Devil laughed, "You really are paranoid, seeing threats everywhere. Don't worry, I'm more afraid of you dying than you are, after all, you are me."
"My purpose in coming out this time is very simple. I really am here to help you," the Blood Devil laughed. "Weren't you just worrying about where to find such a Soul Ring? Well, here I am!"
"No need, you bastard, would you really be so kind?" Qi Ling said defiantly, still upset after being tricked by the Blood Devil.
"Hehehe, you have no choice but to agree!" the Blood Devil laughed. "No matter what my purpose is, Qi Ling, you have to agree, because I'm your creditor!"
"You're talking nonsense! When did I ever owe you money? Don't you even know that I, Qi Ling, am someone who's short of money?!" Qi Ling retorted angrily.
"Hahaha, when did I say you owed me money? Besides, what use is money to me?" Blood Devil laughed. "What you owe me is your life!"
"Fate? That's even more impossible. When have I ever owed you my life..." Qi Ling was speaking when he suddenly stopped, because he remembered that he did seem to owe something.
Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, to save Xiao Wu, he actually Devil Loan and made a deal. And since the system was created by the Dragon God, and the Dragon God said that the Blood Devil also possesses the ability to manipulate the system, then could it be...?
Seeing Qi Ling's expression, the Blood Devil knew that Qi Ling had understood, and couldn't help but laugh smugly, "Hahaha, that's right, the so-called Devil Loan is of course a shop owned by me, the boss! The things you borrowed are all given to you by me!"
"Back then, it seems we made a deal to use your lifespan as a loan, right? And if you don't become Titled Douluo within five years, I'll take your life, isn't that right?"
Qi Ling broke out in a cold sweat. She never expected that this guy would have such a weakness over her! This was really terrible.
"Hehehe, five years have passed now, kid. Although your progress is indeed fast, it seems there's still a gap between your progress and our bet! What are you planning to do? You're not the kind of person to go back on your word, are you?" the Blood Devil Demon said smugly.
