Return to Spirit Hall, and the Onlookers Enjoying the Show
Qian Xunling strode into the Sea God Hall and saw Bo Saixi's still dignified and beautiful back. She smiled and said, "It's been a year, Great Enshrined, you are still as charming as ever."
"Smooth-talking." Bo Saixi slowly turned around, and Qian Xunling's eyes widened. She nodded and exclaimed, "You really are still so beautiful!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out." This woman, a long-time resident of the manor, couldn't stand such teasing. She glared at Qian Xunling with a hint of anger in her eyes. Qian Xunling chuckled, clutching his head, and said, "Alright, alright, since the Great Enshrined doesn't like it, then I won't praise it anymore. It's just that I feel it's a little regrettable."
"It's such a stunning beauty as the Great Enshrined, yet she's been confined to this dark and gloomy Sea God Hall. It's like a rose fallen into a stinking ditch—a true loss to the world!" Qian Xunling said, waving her hand. But then Bo Saixi unleashed her Level 99 Soul Power and said, "Stop talking."
Her tone became calm, which made Qian Xunling feel it was time to stop, so he smiled and asked, "Great Enshrined, my Soul Power has now reached Level 90. What is your answer?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Bo Saixi's face as she truly sensed Qian Xunling's current Soul Power Level. This was truly unbelievable; she had actually increased her level by seven within a year. Even she couldn't have done that.
However, she concealed her surprise well and replied, "I can make a move, but I still cannot guarantee that even if I join forces with Qian Daoliu, we can kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Therefore, I will do my best once, and whether we succeed or not is entirely up to fate."
Qian Xunling smiled. Her answer was expected. After all, it was impossible to sacrifice one's life for a Soul Beast, a scene Qian Xunling didn't want to see. So, Qian Xunling nodded and said, "I didn't expect that you, Great Enshrined, believe in fate. I'm quite interested too. How about we chat for three days and three nights?"
"Get lost!" Bo Saxi shouted angrily, sending Qian Xunling flying out of the Sea God Hall with a single palm strike. However, he then heard Qian Xunling call out, "Great Enshrined, don't forget that you owe me a three-day, three-night talk."
Hearing this, Bo Saixi gritted her teeth, furious but also feeling a pang of shame. She hadn't expected their three-day, three-night conversation to sound so humiliating now.
As for whether or not to accept Qian Xunling's offer, Bo Saixi rejected it outright. She wasn't interested in Qian Xunling at all; the age gap was too big, and they definitely wouldn't have anything to talk about.
Qian Xunling, who had been blasted away to the foot of Sea God Mountain, landed slowly. Just then, a beautiful figure leaped out of a river beside her. The Sea Witch strode over and exclaimed excitedly, "You've leveled up seven times in a year?"
"Hehe, why are you so agitated?" Qian Xunling looked at her, puzzled, and asked again, "Sea Girl Sacred Pillar, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Of course, have you forgotten your promise that you'd show me the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud if I helped you beat up Xiao Bai?" The Sea Witch pouted, staring intently at Qian Xunling.
Qian Xunling then remembered, but waved her hand and said, "Next time, I'm in a hurry now."
"Next time, when is next time?" the Sea Witch pressed, and Qian Xunling replied, "Next time? It'll be next time, it won't be too long or too soon."
"It feels like what you said is as good as nothing at all." The Sea Witch didn't understand, but Qian Xunling didn't intend to explain, so she flew towards the place of seclusion in her eyes.
Upon landing, Qian Xunling smiled upon seeing Bibi Dong and the others still waiting in the same spot. However, looking at Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin, she said, "Old man, you can stay here for now. We'll be back soon, so don't worry too much."
"Young Master Xunling, how are you going to get back? Why don't you let me and Xin'er escort you back?" Chen Jianjun advised.
However, eight Soul Ring slowly emerged from beneath Qian Xunling's feet, and at the same time, Qian Xunling spoke, "Seventh Soul Skill, Wormhole Jump."
A wormhole opened beside Qian Xunling.
"Uncle-Master, can you teleport directly back to the Spirit Hall?" Bibi Dong's eyes lit up as she looked at Qian Xunling.
Qian Xunling chuckled, "It wasn't possible before, but it becomes possible after reaching Level 90. Hurry up and stop talking nonsense, come here."
"Okay, Uncle-Master." Little Spider was somewhat excited to hear that she was going back to the Spirit Hall, after all, it was her home, and also her Uncle-Master's home.
Upon hearing Qian Xunling's words, Chen Jianjun was surprised. He hadn't expected Qian Xunling to be able to teleport so far; this could practically be considered a divine skill.
However, now that I think about it, every one of Qian Xunling's Soul Skill seems incredibly powerful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them divine skills.
"Then we wish Young Master Xunling a speedy return. We'll be waiting for you here." Chen Jianjun smiled at Qian Xunling.
Qian Xunling nodded, waved her hand, and led Bibi Dong into the wormhole.
At the anchor point where Qian Xunling the wormhole, in the square in front of the Pope's Hall.
It was still morning, and the guards on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain were startled when they saw two people suddenly appear in the square!
Their first instinct was that it was an enemy attack, but some sharp-eyed guards rubbed their eyes and immediately recognized Qian Xunling, that troublemaker, and shouted to their colleagues, "Don't make a move! Stand still and don't make a sound!"
At the same time, they stood extremely straight. The newcomers were still wondering, but the old people had already begun to imitate them.
Qian Xunling spread her arms wide, sensing the familiar aura within the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall, then looked at the river channel she had modified, and smiled, "The Spirit Hall is still more familiar to me."
Bibi Dong was also overjoyed and smiled, "Uncle-Master, we're back."
However, she quickly asked with some doubt, "Master, didn't you hate coming back? You said you'd be imprisoned by the Master if you came back?"
At that moment, a beam of golden light suddenly shot out from the Worship Hall, the tallest and most magnificent palace of the Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu instantly arrived above the plaza and saw Qian Xunling and Bibi Dong there. A wave of nostalgia washed over him. Upon seeing him, Bibi Dong immediately waved and said, "Master!"
"You unfilial son! You dare to come back!" Qian Daoliu suddenly roared, his Soul Power pressing heavily on Qian Xunling. Qian Xunling chuckled, feeling shrunk by the pressure, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he poured out his Level 90 Soul Power to resist Qian Daoliu's Soul Power.
Qian Xunling knew exactly why he was so angry.
When he passed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan earlier, he had asked Yu Yuanzhen to tell his adoptive father that there was something buried under his yard.
There is a doll buried there, made based on the image of Qian Daoliu.
However, inside the doll is a small Soul Tool made by Qian Xunling and a large amount of ash stone. If Qian Daoliu holds it in his hand for more than a minute, the Soul Power stored in the Soul Tool's memory will completely dissipate, causing the doll to fall apart and all the ash inside to burst out.
"Level 90?" Qian Daoliu was shocked. In just a year and a half, Qian Xunling had risen from Level 76 to Level 90. This was unbelievable.
Qian Xunling, seemingly unfazed by the potential for trouble, looked at Qian Daoliu, ignoring his suppression of Soul Power, and smiled, "So, old man, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"
"Hehe... Satisfied, I'm extremely satisfied. You actually dared to return it, which makes me even more satisfied." Seemingly having learned Qian Xunling's true teachings, Qian Daoliu's face, that of the leader of the righteous path, revealed a wicked smile, somewhat chilling.
At this moment, even more people rushed over and made offerings to all of them, including Qian Xunji.
They were very surprised to see Qian Xunling. No matter how unpleasant things had been before, blood ties could not be changed, and they all smiled.
However, Qian Xunling didn't give them a friendly look, saying speechlessly, "You all seem to be enjoying watching me get beaten up."
"It's quite pleasant indeed." Qian Xunji stepped forward, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips. His gaze then fell upon Bibi Dong, who had grown a year and a half older, and he said, "Disciple, welcome back."
"Teacher." Bibi Dong smiled, but that was all.
