Divine Realm, Angel Residence!
Inside, Bi Bidong and Hulena gazed at Qian Renxue sitting aside, her delicate cheeks covered in tear stains, indicating she had been crying for a long time…
With a helpless sigh, Hulena turned to Bi Bidong, "Teacher, Renxue she..."
Bi Bidong shook her head and whispered softly, "Let her be alone for a few days."
Ever since they sent Qian Yu to the Lower Realm, Qian Renxue always secretly grieved, and the two of them could understand that kind of pain…
The person she loved most sacrificed himself to protect the Divine Realm, and her own child was sent to the Lower Realm, even though she had become a God, she still had emotions!
Hulena slowly sat down, pursing her thin lips, "If Xu Sheng hadn't been protecting the Divine Realm, I doubt even the storms of the Different World could have killed him!"
A Creator God with the Power of Creation wasn't so easy to kill, was he?
Bi Bidong's eyes narrowed slightly, "Indeed, the strength of Xu Sheng's Power of Creation can be discerned by the mere fact that it expanded the Divine Realm by two thirds!"
Hulena spoke again, "However, I do remember Xu Sheng once told me that after becoming the Creator God, he could not be killed! It seems now that he was joking!"
Qian Renxue, with her head bowed on the other side, heard this and her eyes flickered with hope, looking eagerly at Hulena. "Lena, what you just said, did Xu Sheng really tell you that?"
Hulena was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Hmm! He did say that, but I always took it as a joke!"
Qian Renxue quickly stood up, "Quick, take me to the place where Xu Sheng sacrificed himself!"
Seeing Qian Renxue's hopeful demeanor, Bi Bidong and Hulena exchanged glances, and, somewhat resigned, nodded their heads…
Only by letting her see for herself might she be able to accept reality…
…
Accompanied by Bi Bidong and Hulena, the trio arrived at the site of the Different World storm outbreak…
Hulena's gaze was fixed on the space that was forever frozen by Xu Sheng's Power of Creation…
She turned to Qian Renxue, "Renxue, this is the place where Xu Sheng made his sacrifice."
Qian Renxue's amber eyes stared at the empty space before her, shaking her head frantically, "No... it can't be! Xu Sheng would never say that phrase for no reason!"
The next moment, she unwillingly released her Divine Power, sensing around her…
After a long while, Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly constricted; she felt it!
A faint yet familiar whiff of Life Force!
If Xu Sheng were truly gone, then this whisper of Life Force wouldn't still be lingering here!
Qian Renxue, her face bright with joy, turned to Bi Bidong, "Xu Sheng isn't dead, sense this space carefully! His Life Force is still present."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words caused a shock to Hulena and Bi Bidong…
They quickly closed their eyes, fully releasing their divine consciousness to spread out…
Bi Bidong gasped in astonishment, "Indeed, there is a trace of Life Force here, and... it is still growing stronger!"
Hulena, with her weaker Divine Power, after a few minutes, finally opened her eyes, joyfully proclaiming, "I feel it too, this is indeed the breath of Xu Sheng's Life Force, he must not be dead!"
Qian Renxue looked at the frozen space and started to laugh softly, with tears inadvertently spilling from the corner of her eyes, "Xu Sheng..."
She just knew, Xu Sheng couldn't possibly be gone like this…
…
Zhou Yi looked at the time and said with an indifferent voice, "That's enough for today's class, you're dismissed."
With that, she turned and left…
The students who were present, upon seeing Zhou Yi leave and Qian Yu still in the classroom, hurriedly left with a fearful mindset…
Qian Yu stretched lazily, "Finally, class is over!"
Wang Dong asked with a puzzled tone, "Qian Yu, why do I feel like you're taking it so seriously when most of what's being taught is stuff we've already known?"
Qian Yu smiled, "Due to certain reasons, I know very little about this Continent! Naturally, I need to understand it well."
For instance, the Continent, the empires, the sects, and so on, he was completely unaware of them until now!
Huo Yuhao spoke out, "Let's go, class is over! Back to the dorm."
Qian Yu and Wang Dong nodded, "Mm!"
Afterward, the three of them hurried towards the dormitory...
Suddenly, Wang Dong, relying on a sixth sense, said, "Hmm? Why do I feel like there's a presence spying on us?"
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, "Wang Dong, it's almost evening, that's not likely, it could just be your imagination."
Wang Dong pursed his thin lips, "Is that so? Never mind, let's go."
Qian Yu's expression grew solemn, "No, something's not right. Wang Dong's intuition isn't wrong; I'm afraid someone really is watching us! Yuhao, apply your Spirit Sharing to me!"
Trusting him, Huo Yuhao didn't ask why, and the white soul ring at his feet lit up...
In an instant, blue light shone from his eyes, and Qian Yu's eyes did likewise...
With Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sharing, when Qian Yu caught sight of a shadow in a certain place, his pupils suddenly constricted...
He immediately released his Martial Soul, the Netherworld Angel!
A silhouette of an angel, flickering with gray-white flames, appeared behind Qian Yu; its black pupils abruptly opened wide, then began to emit a chilling and evil aura all around...
Two golden million-year Soul Rings suddenly rose…
When Qian Yu's gaze focused on the frantically dodging figure, he said in a cold voice, "Got you!"
The next moment, the first soul ring at his feet shone brightly...
First Soul Skill, Nether Curse!
A black ray shot out from the pupils of the Netherworld Angel, directed at the shadow. In an instant, an invisible ray burst forth...
Once struck by this ray, the victim would lose Soul Power at a terrifying rate and all attributes would be weakened by forty percent! The effect would last for a full thirty minutes!
The shadow seemed to sense that Qian Yu had released a soul skill and quickly dodged away...
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong naturally witnessed what had happened and wondered, "He dodged it?"
Qian Yu's lips curved up slightly, "Dodged?"
Sure enough, a few seconds later, an old man dressed in a grey-brown robe crashed down from the sky...
It was Xuan Zi, who had been tasked with monitoring Qian Yu!
Xuan Zi slowly got up from the ground, rubbing his back, and looked up with a resentful expression, "Ouch, you youngsters have no respect for your elders, do you?"
Huo Yuhao scolded, "Who are you? Why are you following us?"
Upon seeing Xuan Zi's rugged appearance after getting up, Wang Dong quietly stepped back a pace or two, thinking to himself, "This man's appearance... it's a bit too sleazy, isn't it?"
Qian Yu's gaze remained fixedly on Xuan Zi, who was exuding a purple-black aura...
Xuan Zi glanced at the chicken leg that had fallen to the ground and said with a pained face, "You've knocked my chicken leg down, and you still expect me to tell you who I am? Impossible!"
Upon hearing Xuan Zi's words, the expressions on the faces of Qian Yu and the others darkened abruptly...
Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth and then said, "What do you want for you to tell us who you are?"
Hearing this, Xuan Zi pondered for a while before replying, "Well... if you treat me to a chicken leg... no, make that three... five, yeah, five and I'll tell you!"
Qian Yu narrowed his eyes, "Let's go, we don't need to bother with him!"
This old man had just been hit by my Nether Curse and is acting as if nothing happened. He's probably not so simple!
Having said that, they decisively turned around and walked towards the direction of the dormitory...
Xuan Zi, seeing the three of them about to leave, quickly reached out and said, "Eh, eh! Don't go! Three! Then two! Two will do, one! Just compensate me for one chicken leg, okay?"
Only then did Qian Yu slowly turn back around.
With a faint smile on his lips, he said, "It's a deal!"
