Chapter 63 Douluo Palace, Daoist Flow, Standoff
Chapter 63 Douluo Palace, Daoist Flow, Standoff
She Long and Ci Xue looked at each other again, and this time they both nodded without saying anything more.
They bowed respectfully, then rose up and disappeared into the sky as two streaks of light.
For a moment, only Qian Renxue and Jiang Ci'an remained in mid-air.
The cold and indifferent expression on Qian Renxue's face naturally disappeared. She turned her head and casually glanced at Jiang Ci'an.
"Now that you've told me, what's our next move?"
Her so-called special method given by her grandfather was a lie, nothing more than an excuse to reassure She Long and Ci Xue to leave.
After signing the contract, this guy said he'd do whatever he said, but she wanted to see what his arrangements were.
Jiang Ci'an snapped out of his daze and temporarily shifted his attention away from the power belonging to Miss Angel that he had shared through the contract.
The enhanced "contract" in the virtual world brought even stronger sharing capabilities than he had imagined, including the ability to share martial souls, which was truly surprising.
But there's no rush to investigate that; let's take care of Miss Angel's matter first.
He turned around and, under the angel's gaze, took her hand in his.
Qian Renxue was taken aback, her eyes momentarily pausing, but she did not struggle.
Palms pressed together, their temperatures mingling.
She felt the slightly cool fingers intertwined with her own, and a glint flashed in her blue eyes.
Something's... weird.
The next moment, Jiang Ci'an's voice rang in my ears.
"Hurry up."
After saying that,
Her consciousness paused for a brief moment.
It wasn't fainting, nor was it a loss of consciousness; rather, it was a wondrous experience that defies description.
She only saw the scene before her recede like the tide, and then unfold again like a canvas.
The distant Tiandou City, the forest beneath my feet, the azure sky—everything was replaced in the blink of an eye.
In its place stood a magnificent palace.
The palace is made of stone and looks ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that the surface of the stone faintly flows with a pale golden light, exuding a pure sacred aura.
The palace towers high, and golden light shines down from its top, enveloping the entire building in a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
Qian Renxue stood on the stone steps in front of the hall, looking at the building she knew all too well, her gaze slightly fixed.
"Douluo Palace?!"
She was stunned for a moment.
The Douluo Hall is located behind the Divine Mountain in Wuhun City. The hall enshrines the titles of the Title Douluo from all generations and is also the place where each newly promoted Title Douluo undergoes the investiture ceremony.
She was very familiar with this place. When she was a child, her grandfather often brought her here to pray to the huge statue of the angel inside. It could be said that she spent a considerable part of her childhood here.
But what's going on here?
Just a second ago she was outside Heaven Dou City, wondering where this guy would take her, but in the blink of an eye she was back in Spirit City, and even in front of the Douluo Palace.
Qian Renxue turned to look at the protagonist, her blue eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Jiang Ci'an looked into her eyes and smiled:
"I sped up the travel time a little, which made the journey much faster."
Qian Renxue choked for a moment.
Who asked you that!
She took a deep breath, her expression becoming more serious, her blue eyes fixed on him: "Why are you taking me back to the Douluo Palace?"
"Naturally, it's so that you can become the God of Angels," Jiang Ci'an said earnestly.
Qian Renxue paused for a moment when she saw his serious expression.
When she signed the contract, she actually wondered if this guy was just making up some excuse to take her away from Tiandou City.
But judging from his current appearance, he seems to be serious?
Qian Renxue didn't have time to discern how much of this guy was genuine and how much was fake, and spoke somewhat anxiously:
"You can't just come here! Don't you know this place..."
Before he could finish speaking...
A vast and sacred aura suddenly rose from the direction of the Douluo Palace.
That aura didn't deliberately release its pressure; in fact, it could be said to be very restrained. But its very existence was impossible to ignore.
Qian Renxue's words caught in her throat.
At the entrance of the Douluo Palace, a tall figure appeared out of nowhere.
The man had white hair and beard, yet he stood tall and straight, showing no signs of aging. His aura was vast and lofty, and his demeanor was incomparably majestic.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his blue eyes, identical to Qian Renxue's, looking over indifferently. Even his gaze alone brought an almost tangible pressure.
A thousand streams.
The Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, a level 99 Limit Douluo, one of the three Limit Douluos of this era, and one of the most powerful beings in the world.
Qian Renxue's posture unconsciously tensed up a little, and her voice carried a somewhat unnatural stiffness.
"grandfather..."
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue, a hint of doubt flashing in his blue eyes.
"Xiaoxue?" His voice was deep and steady, without reproach, only a hint of confusion.
"Weren't you in the Heaven Dou Empire? Why have you suddenly returned?"
"Grandpa, I..."
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
What should she say?
She was brought back by a boy who appeared out of nowhere? And she even signed a contract with that boy of dubious origin? She was even planning to leave the Heaven Dou Empire with that guy, abandoning everything?
This doesn't look right at all!
Qian Renxue pursed her lips, her blue eyes flickered slightly, and her peripheral vision unconsciously drifted to her side.
The man stood beside her, his golden eyes fixed on her grandfather. His expression showed no tension, but rather a hint of curiosity, without a trace of reverence.
This girl is really not afraid of being chopped up by her grandfather!
Qian Renxue was a little anxious, while Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed involuntarily.
What did he notice?
From his perspective, his granddaughter's posture was indeed a bit off.
Her gaze shifted to her side, and she leaned forward slightly, as if there was something beside her that she wanted to protect...
wrong...
It's not a thing, it's a person.
Who is beside his granddaughter?
Qian Daoliu looked toward Qian Renxue's side, but there was nothing there except the flat stone slab ground in front of the Douluo Hall.
But his intuition told him that there was definitely something there.
Without the slightest hesitation, a dazzling golden light exploded from the thousands of streams of water, and countless pure white feathers appeared out of thin air and slowly drifted down. Each feather emitted a soft golden light, enveloping the entire plaza in front of the Douluo Palace in a sacred and blazing radiance.
"Angel's Realm".
At the same time, the entire Douluo Palace seemed to resonate with each other, and golden light seeped out from every brick and stone of the palace, intertwining with Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain and pushing the power of the domain to a higher level.
Qian Daoliu hovered high in the sky, three pairs of pure white wings unfurling behind him. His blue eyes no longer looked at Qian Renxue, but stared intently at the blank space beside her.
At that moment, there, he could barely make out a very blurry figure.
