"Xiaoxue, can Grandpa come in?"
Qian Daoliu was worried about Qian Renxue's condition and asked directly.
"grandfather?"
Qian Renxue was confused as to why Qian Daoliu had suddenly arrived. The next moment, the palace doors opened.
"Grandpa, what brings you here?"
When Qian Daoliu saw Qian Renxue, he kept a close eye on her and found nothing amiss, nor any signs of injury. In fact, Qian Renxue exuded a more sacred aura, which relieved Qian Daoliu.
The Angelic Sword has now vanished without a trace. If Qian Renxue were to encounter further trouble, Qian Daoliu truly wouldn't know what to do.
"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Qian Renxue asked again.
Qian Daoliu then explained why he had come here.
"The Holy Sword of Angels has flown away?"
Not to mention Qian Renxue, even the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo found it unbelievable. The Angelic Holy Sword had been in the Spirit Hall for countless years, yet it could fly away on its own?
Qian Renxue, however, had a feeling that the flight of the Angelic Holy Sword might be related to the unusual movement of her martial soul.
Qian Renxue couldn't think of any other force besides the Soul Palace that could pull off something like this.
Despite having some suspicions, Qian Renxue still looked shocked.
After all, the Soul Hall's strength is no longer something the Spirit Hall can contend with. If Qian Daoliu were to confront the Soul Hall, she would lose her "only" family member.
"Grandpa, do you have any clues about where the Angelic Holy Sword went?" Qian Renxue asked in return.
Qian Daoliu naturally trusted Qian Renxue without reservation and immediately expressed his guess.
"Grandpa, are you hurt?"
Upon hearing that Qian Daoliu had been injured by a mysterious person, Qian Renxue asked with concern.
Qian Renxue began to doubt whether the so-called mysterious person was a member of the Soul Hall. However, after thinking about it, apart from Xiao Mu, the hall master, the Soul Hall didn't seem to have any other fire-attribute soul masters with such strength.
"Grandpa, don't you know who that person is?"
"I have never seen that person before, but his strength is beyond imagination. What he possesses is not soul power but divine power. If I hadn't had the Angelic Holy Sword, I wouldn't have been able to force him back."
After briefly describing the battle that day, Qian Daoliu guessed:
"That person is so powerful, do you think he might be from the Soul Hall?"
Qian Renxue's eyelids twitched, and she immediately replied, "It should be impossible. The Soul Hall and the Spirit Hall have no past grudges or recent feuds, so why would they suddenly attack Spirit City? Moreover, if it was the Soul Hall that did it, there would probably be more than one person there."
Both the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo knew that their young master was trying to clear the Soul Hall of suspicion. Regardless of whether the Soul Hall had done it or not, he certainly had the power to do so, so it was impossible for him to clear his name.
However, neither of them spoke, and they seemed to agree with what Qian Renxue said.
After their trip to the Abyss Plane, they gained a general understanding of the Soul Palace's strength.
If even the mighty Abyss Saint King could be blocked by Xiao Mu's Myriad Soul Banner, then Qian Daoliu is definitely no match for the Soul Palace. Not to mention that Qian Daoliu has even lost the Angelic Holy Sword, making him even less capable of fighting.
Even if it's just to avoid being implicated, they have to agree with Qian Renxue's opinion.
Qian Daoliu frowned.
"Even if it wasn't done by the Soul Hall, that mysterious person is very likely near Heaven Dou City. I must find the Angelic Holy Sword as soon as possible, or things will change."
Having lost the Angelic Sword, Qian Daoliu felt very insecure.
If the time drags on, and the Angelic Sword is destroyed or taken elsewhere, it will be even more difficult to retrieve it.
Although the possibility of the Angelic Holy Sword being damaged or recognized by another person is very low, for Qian Daoliu at this moment, he cannot afford to take any risks whatsoever.
"Grandpa, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and you've flown this far at full speed. You should rest here with me. Leave the search for the Angelic Holy Sword to me. I'm more familiar with the area around Heaven Dou City and will find the Angelic Holy Sword more easily than you do."
"this..."
It wasn't that Qian Daoliu didn't trust Qian Renxue, but rather that he genuinely didn't want to delay.
However, after some hesitation, Qian Daoliu chose to believe his granddaughter's good intentions.
After all, Qian Renxue was right. After losing his connection with the Angelic Holy Sword, Qian Daoliu's advantage in finding it was indeed minimal, and it was basically like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He really needs to get himself in good shape, otherwise even if he finds that mysterious person and takes away the Angelic Holy Sword, he won't be able to take it back from them.
After Qian Renxue left, she headed straight towards the Soul Palace.
She went to the Soul Palace not to retrieve the Angelic Holy Sword, but to check the situation and, at the very least, to prevent a conflict between Qian Daoliu and the Soul Palace.
If the Angelic Holy Sword is taken by the Soul Palace... then let them take it. Can she take it back?
...
The Soul Palace Small World.
Having reclaimed the Angelic Holy Sword, the Angel God has returned to his peak condition and become the strongest force in the Soul Palace.
"What was your name before you became a god?" Xiao Mu asked.
Angel God is, after all, just a title of a deity; she was human before she became a god.
"Lord, my real name is Qian Miyue."
When she replied, Qian Miyue glanced at Qian Qiusui.
Qian Qiusui shrank his neck, a rare occurrence for him. In front of this angel god, who was considered the patriarch of the Qian family, he really had no confidence.
"Qian Qiusui, what are you doing hiding in the back? Come and meet your ancestors."
Qian Qiusui wanted to avoid Qian Miyue's attention, but Xiao Mu pointed him out anyway.
Amidst the amused expressions of Zhan Kaishan and the others, Qian Qiusui reluctantly stepped forward.
"Descendants pay homage to their ancestors."
When Qian Qiusui first met Qian Renxue, he acted as if an ancestor had arrived. Even after hearing that the Spirit Hall had a level 99 Angel God Guardian, he still treated her like a junior.
Who knew that fortune would turn so quickly, and the true ancestor would descend upon us?
"Are you the only one covered in black aura, or has the entire Qian family become like this?"
Qian Miyue gets angry as soon as she sees Qian Qiusui.
Qian Qiu Sui said helplessly, "Ancestor, I am actually the same as you. I was summoned by the Hall Master. I have been dead for many years and don't know much about the current Spirit Hall. But there shouldn't be anyone like me."
"You were summoned as well?"
Qian Miyue hadn't expected this, but the fact that only this one unworthy descendant had changed allegiances brought her some comfort.
Although times have changed and the Qian family of later generations are not her direct descendants, so there is basically no affection between them, there is still a connection to the family line.
Among the Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were in a state of shock and numbness.
Their former employer, the Spirit Hall, worshipped the Angel God, but now that the Angel God has become a subordinate of the Spirit Hall, their change of allegiance is perfectly justified.
The Angelic Legacy of the Soul Palace is now definitely more authentic than that of the Soul Palace itself.
"Palace Master, Qian Renxue has arrived."
