Qian Renxue! Spirit Hall!
Zeng Yi fell into silence.
Zeng Yi had only watched Douluo Continent once, and even then, he skipped some parts. Moreover, with over ten years gone by, he only had a vague impression of the plot in his mind.
Among them, the most memorable was the protagonist Tang San, but he didn't remember much about the other events.
However, he still had some impression of Qian Renxue.
This character seemed to be the final boss in the plot, achieving godhood at the end. Moreover, she could even chase after Tang San, making her talent undoubtedly extraordinary.
Zeng Yi had this impression because she could chase after Tang San, the notorious protagonist. That was the reason why he remembered her.
But in the end, she couldn't surpass Tang San, and was pierced through the chest by his hidden weapon.
And why was the hidden weapon so powerful? It could even kill a god. Zeng Yi also found it strange.
After all, Zeng Yi had seen so many martial arts stories, and Tang Sect was just considered a middle-ranking sect within the martial arts world. If hidden weapons were so powerful, why couldn't they unify the martial arts world?
Zeng Yi couldn't understand.
Moreover, an item that could kill a god should no longer be called a hidden weapon.
It should be called a treasure or artifact.
Regardless, someone who could become a god would naturally not be simple, and Zeng Yi could feel a dangerous aura from this woman.
"Are you from the Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but be shocked, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Zeng Yi. "Why do you say that?"
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "The soul power pressure that this senior exerted on me just now, if I'm not mistaken, should come from a Titled Douluo."
Titled Douluo!
Ning Rongrong and Flender's eyes widened in astonishment. No wonder Zeng Yi didn't need them to take action just now. In front of a Titled Douluo, even Flender, a Soul Saint, wouldn't be able to stir up any waves, let alone him being just a Soul Saint.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She hadn't expected that every time they came to the Star Dou Forest, they would encounter one disaster after another.
Last time, they encountered a soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape, that was comparable to a Titled Douluo. And this time, instead of encountering the Forest King, they encountered a high-level expert on the level of a Titled Douluo.
Both incidents carried an ominous meaning.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but pray in her heart. She promised herself that if they could safely leave this time, she would bring Sword Grandpa or Bone Grandpa with her next time she came to the Star Dou Forest to obtain soul rings.
Without the protection of a Titled Douluo, she felt absolutely no sense of security.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but be surprised. How did this person figure out their identities? Looking at Zeng Yi's eyes, a trace of coldness flickered in her eyes.
Her identity was a secret within the Spirit Hall. Hardly anyone inside the Hall knew about her, let alone other forces who had no knowledge of her existence.
She definitely couldn't let her identity be exposed.
But...
Qian Renxue looked at these people.
She was currently in a cooperative state with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It was impossible to kill these people.
If it were just the others from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she wouldn't mind. However, among them was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong. Also, this Zeng Yi was an extremely important figure to the Spirit Hall, someone whom the Pope desperately wanted to win over.
He was the link between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The Hall had been searching for this person, but she never expected to encounter him herself.
Seeing a hint of an inexplicable meaning in Qian Renxue's eyes, Zeng Yi couldn't help but shudder. He had a feeling that this person had some ill intentions.
"Why do you say that?" Qian Renxue curiously asked.
Zeng Yi said, "In my sect, I have encountered Spirit Saints and Titled Douluo-ranked experts. Only a Titled Douluo would be able to exert this kind of pressure on me in an instant. Moreover, as for whether the two imperial royal families have a Titled Douluo, I don't know, but besides our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Clear Sky Sect, and the Spirit Hall possess one. Clear Sky Sect has already closed its gates. Judging by your appearance, you don't seem to be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Therefore, your identity is obvious, you are from the Spirit Hall. It's not surprising for a Titled Douluo-ranked soul master to be an escort. I assume you hold a significant position within the Hall, perhaps even at the level of a Saintess?"
After listening to Zeng Yi's explanation, Qian Renxue couldn't help but be amazed.
Zeng Yi's reasoning was very logical, and indeed, she was a Saintess of the Spirit Hall. However, there were two Saintesses in the Hall, one prominent and one shadowed.
She was the shadowed Saintess who was hardly known to anyone except a few core figures within the Hall.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but clap her hands and looked at Zeng Yi with some admiration in her eyes.
"I didn't expect that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would produce such an extraordinary person. You are right, we are indeed from the Spirit Hall."
"I wonder, what do you and your companions plan to do?" Qian Renxue asked, looking at Zeng Yi with a teasing gaze.
In this situation, the Spirit Hall wouldn't necessarily fall out with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Since he had already revealed his identity, she shouldn't make things too difficult for him.
After all, his master, Sword Douluo, was not an easy person to provoke. As a Titled Douluo, there were only a few people in the Spirit Hall who could match him.
Zeng Yi couldn't help but worry. If it were just him, it wouldn't matter if he died. He was just one life after all. However, now it wasn't just him. There were also Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Flender, and Xiao Ju. He had to worry about them.
"What should we do?" Zeng Yi asked Qian Renxue.
Looking at Zeng Yi, Qian Renxue's eyes carried a playful look. Among the others, she could disregard them, but this man in front of her who was still composed, heh.
According to the information she had obtained, he was only fifteen years old with a cultivation of Rank 35. But based on the power of his previous soul skill, it seemed more like the power of a Spirit Ancestor or even a Spirit King. The records that claimed he had killed a Spirit King were indeed credible.
Such a character actually belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but he was a thorn in the Spirit Hall' side. How could the Hall tolerate it?
There were only two options left for him now: surrender or die.
However, since the Pope had chosen to establish a marriage alliance and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had agreed, there was no need to kill him.
She would bring him back to the Hall first. After all, they would eventually go there, so it was better to go now. Staying outside for too long would make her uneasy, in case something uncontrollable happened.
Qian Renxue looked at Zeng Yi and said, "Come with us. Otherwise, all of you will become food inside the bodies of soul beasts in this Star Dou Forest."
A killing intent filled the space, causing the minds of the few to tremble uncontrollably.
They could feel that this woman was not joking.
Tears filled Zeng Yi's eyes.
Why does the spear always point at me? Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Spirit Hall.
Have I done something wrong?
Just because of a few words I said?
