"What exactly happened?" Chu Qing was shocked.
Mad Lion Douluo smiled faintly and said:
"Don't worry, no one's targeting the Spirit Rhinoceros Sect or the Soul Fighting Society."
"It's just that Dou Ling has a new emperor; the motherland remains your strong support."
"If you want to know, come with us and see."
Chu Qing walked out in silence, and no one stopped him.
Jin Suqiu and Tang Wutong stepped forward with concern.
How is Chu Qing?
"Return to Lingdou," Chu Qing said, frowning.
They rushed all the way, arriving in Lingdou City just in time for the funeral of the former emperor. Xue Li cried her heart out.
Jin Suqiu was utterly astonished.
What happened?
Chu Qing paid his respects at the grave and brought Xue Li back to the Soul Fighting Society. To his surprise, Long Xiaoyao was waiting for him inside.
Did you do this?
Long Xiaoyao shook his head:
"I haven't even made a move, Dou Ling has already lost."
"We're practically master and disciple, so now that you call me master, I'll help you reset your Dou Ling. How about it?"
Chu Qing snorted coldly and said:
Do you think I care about Dou Ling?
Long Xiaoyao sighed and said:
"Give me the Soul Spirit Secret Method, and the next time we meet, we'll be enemies."
What if I don't give it to them?
Chu Qing's aura surged, indicating he was ready to flee at any moment.
Long Xiaoyao immediately severed Xue Shiqi's arm and said:
"I didn't want to do such a dirty thing."
" Chu Qing, stop pushing me."
Xue Shiqi's screams echoed in the courtyard. Chu Qing watched with gritted teeth and said:
"If you kill Xue Leng and his rebel army, I will give you the Soul Spirit Secret Method."
Long Xiaoyao said:
" Chu Qing, you don't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation."
"You can leave alive because I'm here, not because you have leverage to negotiate."
"You have no choice. Although you are incredibly talented, you haven't truly matured yet. This is not your time."
"Hand over the Soul Spirit Secret Method, then leave."
Ice Empress said:
"This human is very strong. Chu Qing, you are no match for him. If I and Snow Empress were to fight, you might have to sleep for another six months. Do you need us to take action?"
Chu Qing refused, saying:
"Alright, here you go with the Soul Spirit Secret Method."
After passing on the Soul Spirit Secret Method, Chu Qing led Xue Shiqi and the others away in a sorry state.
Ye Xishui came out of the room, still looking dissatisfied despite having obtained the Soul Spirit Secret Method.
"This kid is a major threat; if we don't get rid of him soon, we'll surely suffer the consequences."
Long Xiaoyao stopped her, saying:
"Even if he can advance to the Limit Douluo within ten years and become stronger than one person, he still certainly won't be a match for the two of us combined."
Ye Xishui:
"It's best to eliminate the trouble as soon as possible."
Long Xiaoyao said:
" Xishui, if he dies, I will never take action again."
He was conflicted, and Chu Qing was the only hope he saw that could stop him and Ye Xishui.
He knew he had embarked on the wrong path, but he was already too deeply entrenched.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui became angry, but her expression quickly turned sorrowful as she said:
" Xiaoyao, do you know that Yan Shaozhe was killed by Di Tian?"
Long Xiaoyao nodded.
"Do you even know that's your own grandson?!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she threw herself into Long Xiaoyao's arms.
Long Xiaoyao was utterly shocked and asked incredulously:
"You mean back then?"
Ye Xishui nodded:
"We had a son, but I didn't want him to get involved in danger. He lived a simple and happy life. Yan Shaozhe is our grandson."
"But he was killed by that damned Di Tian!"
As she spoke, an incredibly terrifying killing intent erupted from her body.
"I won't let Di Tian have his way."
Then her aura changed rapidly, and a power of light emerged.
Long Xiaoyao was now certain that Yan Shaozhe was Bright Phoenix, and a wave of grief and indignation washed over him.
Why did you keep this from me for so long?
Ye Xishui sobbed repeatedly, saying:
Do you know what happened back then?
After listening, Long Xiaoyao was deeply moved and asked:
So you're still lying to me?
Ye Xishui also asked him in return:
"Are you still willing to love me as I am now?"
At this moment, Zhongli Wu walked in, his face full of anger, and questioned:
"Mother, is this why you've hated me since I was little?"
He glared at the two of them fiercely.
Ye Xishui didn't give him a friendly look, and said:
"If it weren't for my blood flowing through your veins, I would have killed you long ago!"
Now that Long Xiaoyao has learned that Zhongli Wu is the son of Old Ghost Zhongli who raped Ye Xishui, his killing intent immediately arises, and he sends Zhongli Wu flying with a single palm strike.
Zhongli Wu was struck by a palm strike; the enormous gap between level 99 and level 98 nearly cost him half his life.
Ye Xishui stopped Long Xiaoyao, who was about to continue his attack, and cursed at Zhongli Wu:
"Get out of here now!"
"The Grand Elder has discovered the Demon Empress. If you can't deal with her, then feed her to the Demon Empress and don't come back."
Zhongli Wu, filled with rage, withdrew first.
Meanwhile, Chu Qing returned to Star Dou with Xue Li, along with news of the Dou Ling coup.
The successive changes of power between the Star Luo Empire and Dou Ling shocked the world, but the most uneasy was Emperor Heavenly Soul, who put the country on high alert and invited the Body Sect to Heaven Dou City to take command.
Huo Yuhao was quite surprised to learn the news, but a different thought arose in his mind. He first went to Mu En and said:
"Teacher, I think that for now Inheritable Soul Spirit Plan only needs me."
Mu En instantly understood his meaning. He himself was naturally willing to see Shrek develop, and said:
I'll take the blame.
" Yuhao, I believe in you."
" The Sea God Pavilion Meeting has already confirmed that you are the successor for the next generation."
Mu En found Di Tian and said:
" Beast God, Shrek Inheritable Soul Spirit Plan, but with the current Dou Ling Incident, Chu Qing probably doesn't have much energy left to devote to this."
Di Tian smiled faintly:
"You humans always manage to surpass my understanding."
"However, Chu Qing is indeed of no use anymore."
He had been involved in the research all along, but compared to Chu Qing, it was Huo Yuhao who had truly put in the effort.
As long as the Inheritable Soul Spirit can still be researched, he's happy to see humans fighting like dogs.
Chu Qing wanted to enter the Lake of Life again, but was stopped by the Yao Ling, who said:
"Lord Chu Qing, you no longer have that permission. I'm sorry."
"We will not forget your contributions to the Inheritable Soul Spirit Plan."
Jin Suqiu was furious and said:
What are you doing?
The Yao Ling said helplessly:
"To ensure the successful completion of the Inheritable Soul Spirit Plan, we will cooperate unconditionally with Shrek."
Chu Qing chuckled coldly.
Those around them stared in disbelief and began to murmur amongst themselves.
Jin Suqiu was extremely puzzled and said to Chu Qing:
"Wait here for me, I'm going in to see Uncle Tian."
Jin Suqiu stormed up to Di Tian and questioned him:
"When did we become like humans, kicking someone when they're down?"
Di Tian looked at her in disbelief:
" Susu, have you forgotten your original purpose for going to the human world?"
"Now Chu Qing's research is almost useless to us. He can't contribute anything anymore, except that he'll still demand Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring from us?"
"His growing stronger isn't a good thing for us Soul Beast."
