Chapter 214

The entire continent, the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sunset Forest also don't know whether there are new hundred‑thousand‑year soul rings; it is said that recently many strange monster towers have appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Each monster tower is guarded by a powerful clan, and the leading soul beast of each clan is incredibly strong, with rapid growth.

Perhaps it could satisfy their need for advancement.

Bibi Dong's mind flashed with this information, and the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo beside him had already returned after gathering intel.

Inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Beside Bibi Dong stood Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and the loyal lackeys, the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo brothers.

"Report to Your Holiness, we have discovered that at the center of each monster tower there is a previously emperor‑level soul beast of the Star Dou Great Forest standing guard; with only the force we have deployed this time, we fear."

The Chrysanthemum Douluo said, and then he didn't dare to continue.

"Your Holiness, we have discovered that the distances between these several monster towers are roughly the same; if we make a move on one of the towers, the members of the other tower will immediately come to its aid; especially the top‑tier soul beast clans are constantly exchanging information."

"Teacher, why don't we first see how many monster towers there are in the Star Dou Great Forest before deciding whether to hunt them? Who knows, there might even be a hundred‑thousand‑year soul beast from a non‑top‑tier soul beast clan." Hu Liena put forward a feasible suggestion.

After Bibi Dong carefully inquired about these clans, he couldn't help but fall silent.

Around the Darkgold Fearclaw Bear and the Jade Swan are all top‑tier soul beasts with dragon bloodline of over eighty thousand years; five Thousand‑ton Ant Emperors are stationed there.

Titan Giant Ape, Azure‑blue Ox‑Python, Nine‑colored Devouring Heaven Sparrow, and Phoenix‑tail Devouring Heaven Python.

The six towers are all notorious fierce figures renowned in the soul beast rankings, and they also keep an eye on each other; Bibi Dong really does not want to confront so many top‑tier soul beasts head‑on.

The Spirit Empire had just ended a war and was still in a period of recuperation; it could not allow a large number of top‑tier soul masters to go and die for it, otherwise it would easily be taken advantage of.

"Then, as Hu Liena said, let's go look for other monster towers; we must find a clan suitable for action; we don't have much time to waste here, and once we determine we cannot act, we will go to the inner circle to find other solitary soul beasts of over eighty thousand years."

Bibi Dong hammered out the decision and confirmed the action.

Not long after.

Qian Renxue had already returned to Spirit City and arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Worship.

"Xue'er, come in now that you're back; Grandfather has already prepared the soul bones you wanted—absorb them before the Angel God." Qian Daoliu's voice hid a faint delight.

Qian Renxue felt a slight soreness at the tip of her nose.

She finally pushed the door open, walked in, came before the Angel God, and knelt on one knee, while several soul bones emitting holy light floated on Qian Daoliu's palm.

As Qian Renxue approached and drew near, the soul bones seemed to want to break free from Qian Daoliu's control and fly toward her.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu also understood that his granddaughter was indeed the successor chosen by the Angel God, without a doubt.

He immediately released the bonds on the soul bones in his hand, allowing those several soul bones to merge into Qian Renxue's body.

The Qian Renxue kneeling on one knee changed from a kneeling posture to sitting cross‑legged, floating before the Angel God's statue and radiating the Angel God's light.

The power of the Fallen Angel flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, and at the moment those several soul bones entered her body, they detected the presence of the Fallen Angel.

But by then it was already too late; the Fallen Angel had firmly attached those soul bones, making escape impossible.

"I need a little time to rise; don't let your grandfather come and disturb you." The Fallen Angel's voice entered Qian Renxue's ears. Soon the Angel Domain moved at will, and Qian Daoliu was pushed out of the Hall of Worship by the Angel Domain's gentle power.

Qian Daoliu felt a bit strange; as the Angel God‑appointed high priest, how could he not even be granted permission to guard at his side? But thinking that this might be the Angel God's will, he had no choice but to go along with that force and be pushed out to stand guard at the door.

After finishing his affairs, the Golden Crocodile Douluo also rushed over, seeing Qian Daoliu at the door looking somewhat startled: "Big Brother? Why are you at the door? Didn't you say Little Xue had come back?"

"Isn't Little Xue still needing to inherit the position?"

Qian Daoliu smiled helplessly and said: "Little Xue is currently absorbing the remaining soul bones of the Angel set; perhaps it is the Angel God's will that I was pushed out; now that Little Xue has returned, I am no longer afraid to tell you all about this."

"Originally, these matters were absolute secrets before Little Xue absorbed them."

The Golden Crocodile Douluo twitched the corner of his mouth: "You're telling me this absolute secret? You old fool, you're really bad."

"Big Brother, you want me to stay here and keep watch with you at the door, right? If that's really what you want, you can just say it straight; there's no need to dig a pit for me."

Qian Daoliu gave a light smile: "Second Brother, you're overthinking it; I don't mean that. However, the matter of Little Xue must not be leaked; you stay here, then—perfect for us to have a chat."

At that moment, the Thousand‑ton Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo, who were beneath the long stairs of the Hall of Worship, suddenly shuddered.

How come I suddenly feel as if something bad has its eyes on me? How bizarre!

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo royal family.

Davis returned full of vigor from the far north; after previously becoming a disciple, he used his points to exchange for a Child Fire in the Breaking Heaven Sect.

Who would have thought that cultivating would bring so many benefits; in such a short time he had already broken through to the sixth realm and obtained a soul ring far exceeding the ordinary age limit.

But even so, he was still far from the average age limit for the sixth soul ring of the Breaking Heaven Sect.

This made him involuntarily feel a deep apprehension toward the Breaking Heaven Sect; the sect surely still has something it's not saying.

But a single Child Fire had already benefited him greatly; during this period Davis had no other thoughts; he first proceeded step by step to increase his strength.

Recently the Star Luo army has had multiple frictions on the border with the Spirit Empire; the more this happens, the less he can afford to be impatient.

Davis has already prepared for a protracted war.

It would be best to drag it out a few more years to let his cultivation level become stronger; by then his soul power level might even surpass his father's.

In this Star Luo Empire that venerates martial prowess, as long as his soul power level exceeds that of the White Tiger Douluo, he can wrest that title from his father's hands.

By then the throne of the Star Luo imperial family will automatically pass to him.

Thus obtaining the throne legitimately, even his own father would have nothing to say; indeed he would be delighted to pass the throne down.

Only Davis doesn't realize that, during the time he was away, the majority of officials in the court have already been secretly won over by Zhu Zhuqing and brought under her command.

Moreover, the Zhu family had long been under Zhu Zhuqing's control.

In a short time, the power balance between the Zhu family and the Star Luo Empire has already undergone a complete overturn.
