Chapter 172: Returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qiu'er's Emotional Change
"Grandfather!"
Qian Renxue was incredibly surprised to see Qian Daoliu; why would he take the initiative to come to the Clear Sky Sect?
"High Priest." Subduing Demon Douluo hurriedly bowed.
Qian Daoliu nodded, then merely glanced at the dilapidated Clear Sky Sect below, though his emotions didn't change much.
However, a hint of nostalgia for the past still welled up in his eyes.
Back then, he and Tang Chen represented Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect respectively, competing countless times both openly and secretly. Now... Tang Chen had become neither human nor ghost, and the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed.
"Tang Chen, between us... in the end, I won."
Qian Daoliu felt a sense of relief, yet he wasn't happy in his heart.
Although now he only wanted to protect the Angel God's Legacy, regarding High Priestess Poseidon, whom he loved but could never have...
His heart still couldn't remain calm.
"From this day forth, the two of you are members of the Elder Hall. For now, you are Reserve Priests of my Elder Hall. Once your strength is sufficient, you will become true priests."
Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice to Snake Lance and Porcupinefish.
Excitement immediately surged on their faces. They both knew that the Elder Hall was the symbol of the highest honor in Spirit Hall. Unlike the Elder Palace, the Elder Hall might...
...be the true Authority of Spirit Hall!
Even though the two of them were only Reserve Priests...
...it was still much better than being an Elder under Bibi Dong!!
"Thank you, High Priest." The two of them cupped their fists in a salute.
Then, he turned his gaze to Dugu Bo beside Chu Chen and asked, "I wonder if the Poison Douluo is willing to join my Elder Hall? With your strength, becoming a priest directly would be no problem at all."
Dugu Bo didn't expect this to involve him.
He shook his head and replied, "Thank you for the kind offer, High Priest, but this old man has already decided to stay by this kid's side."
"So it's not convenient for me to join the Elder Hall."
Chu Chen: "..."
You just had to drag me into it, didn't you, you old geezer?
Qian Daoliu didn't get angry either. With a wave of his hand, a surge of golden light swept Chu Chen away, leaving everyone else behind in a daze.
...
"Xiao Xue handed over the management of the Heaven Dou Empire to you, didn't she?" Qian Daoliu said calmly with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, she wants to embark on the path of Legacy."
Chu Chen spoke calmly. Qian Daoliu had no killing intent toward him, but even if he did, Chu Chen was confident he could retreat safely. Now, behind him...
...stood not only the Gu Yuena and Di Tian.
...but also the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life.
Try killing me and see what happens?
"You are also on the path of divine Legacy. What do you think of this path?"
Regarding Qian Daoliu's question.
Chu Chen hesitated for a moment before saying seriously, "It's difficult, but... there are thousands of Great Daos, yet they are essentially the same. Every Divinity should fulfill their duties, including the Agents of those divinities."
"..."
Qian Daoliu opened his mouth.
"Are you saying that as the Agent of the Angel God, I have ignored the suffering of this world and failed to save the people of the Douluo Continent?"
Chu Chen didn't speak, his meaning self-evident.
Qian Daoliu's smile was somewhat bitter.
"In this regard, perhaps I am sinful. However... I have no other path to take. All I can do is my best to help Xiao Xue complete the Angel God's Legacy."
He resumed his majestic appearance, turned around to look at Chu Chen, and asked, "Then... what do you think of the current Douluo Continent?"
"It needs a unification, one that even Spirit Hall cannot stop."
Chu Chen said indifferently.
"To unify the continent, war must break out. But the Legacy of Spirit Hall cannot be lost, which creates a paradox with true unification," Qian Daoliu said with a frowning, questioning tone.
Chu Chen looked directly into his eyes.
"In the future, even if Spirit Hall tries to stop me from unifying this continent, I will not hesitate to act. This is the torrent of the times, something that Spirit Hall's thousands of years of Foundation cannot shake."
To be able to say such words in front of Qian Daoliu.
Chu Chen's courage was evident.
But Qian Daoliu did not strike a killing blow. He knew he couldn't kill Chu Chen, and doing so would likely draw out the gods behind him!
Those were existences even more terrifying than the Angel God.
"Even if it's Xiao Xue?" Qian Daoliu asked again.
"Still the same. But I don't want it to come to that. No one can stop me, but I promised Xiao Xue."
"Even if Douluo is unified."
"Spirit Hall can exist in the form of a Sect. But before that, Spirit Hall must pay the price for the evil deeds it has committed over the years."
Chu Chen cupped his fists to Qian Daoliu and smiled. "Senior, this junior has things to attend to. If there's a chance..."
"I will visit Senior in Spirit City."
Qian Daoliu nodded and did not stop Chu Chen.
However, after Chu Chen turned away, he said softly, "The Clear Sky Sect is destroyed, and Tang Chen has become like that. This makes me realize our era has passed."
"This continent, in the end, belongs to your generation."
"I only hope the Angel God's Legacy is not severed and that you can... take good care of Xiao Xue."
...
The two reappeared. Seeing that both Chu Chen and Qian Daoliu were fine, both Qiu'er and Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed, there was no need to stay here any longer.
"Xiao Xue, come back to the Elder Hall with me."
Qian Daoliu took the initiative to speak.
Qian Renxue nodded. After bidding farewell to Chu Chen's group of three, she left with Qian Daoliu. Chu Chen then said to Dugu Bo, "Old Poison, let's head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Alright, let's go."
Dugu Bo didn't ask much and led the way.
"Chu Chen, what did Qian Daoliu say to you?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Just some things regarding Spirit Hall."
Chu Chen briefly explained the content of their previous conversation. Dugu Bo couldn't help but click his tongue. "You kid certainly have guts. If anyone else spoke to Qian Daoliu like that, they'd probably have been slapped to death long ago."
"He couldn't slap me to death," Chu Chen laughed.
The three of them traveled quickly, but because the distance between the Clear Sky Sect and the Sunset Forest was quite long, it still took a full day to reach the Sunset Forest.
"Here..."
"Why is there the aura of the Dragon Clan Bloodline?"
Qiu'er's expression changed. She sensed the aura fluctuations of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings who had fallen here.
"..."
Chu Chen told her that the two great Dragon Kings had fallen here. Qiu'er's mood seemed to change, and she quickened her pace, wanting Chu Chen to take her to the place where the two Dragon Kings had perished.
Possessing the Golden Dragon Bloodline, she was extremely sensitive to this unique Dragon Clan Bloodline resonance...
The familiar Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well appeared before their eyes.
"It's been a long time since I was back here. Why does it feel like there are more weeds?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but grumble.
