Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 431 431. Departure
According to the map, the nearest entrance to the Killing City is...

Qian Renxue opened the map, memorized the information in her mind, then crushed it with soul power, and then walked all the way south, which was the direction of the Star Luo Empire, but that was not the point. What she wanted to go was to affiliate with the Star Luo Empire. One of the five principalities.

"Well, with the current situation, being able to bring the ten principalities over as much as possible means a better chance of winning. However, my mother thinks that the ten principalities are afraid to gamble or participate in the situation. The Haotian Alliance is not a fool, and the Star Luo Empire has fallen into In the hands of Wuhun Palace, they will definitely try to win over the five principalities that originally belonged to Xingluo."

Qian Renxue set out with this idea in mind. One of her trips was to test the attitudes of the five principalities. The other was that if they could win their support, it would be of great help to Bibi Dong's plan to unify the continent. After all, from the map It seems that these ten principalities have cut off nearly 60% of the border between Tiandou and Xingluo. They are very important strategic buffer zones. Whether Tiandou attacks Xingluo or Xingluo attacks Tiandou, they cannot bypass the opponent's five Grand Duchy.

The two empires have always regarded their respective five principalities as their most important lines of defense. However, the five principalities suffered huge losses in countless wars, and they hate these two countries very much. This is why when Wuhundian had the idea of ​​founding a nation, These ten major principalities chose to join with almost no hesitation.

But now the situation is different. The war between gods has spread throughout the continent among the people participating in the Soul Master Competition. This has made the ten principalities who originally supported Wuhun Palace become hesitant, because once they stand on the wrong team, the gods' revenge will be on them. Unaffordable.

Of course, they did not turn their backs, but their attitude became ambiguous. In other words, they would never take sides easily when one side did not show a complete victory.

Along the way, Qian Renxue soon came to the Kingdom of Hadrian. In the Kingdom of Hadrian, in addition to their capital Hadrian City, there was also an extremely famous city called Coconut Grove City.

Coconut Grove City is also holding its annual Harvest Festival at this time. The Harvest Festival is held every four years and a small one every year. Yes, they follow the Soul Master Competition and choose it every time. The Soul Master Competition starts after the end. Since this is the shortest way back to the Star Luo Empire, the soul masters passing by often choose to stay here for a while, thus creating a lot of economy for the city. But last year can be said to be the worst one. session…

This year, the streets were still a little deserted, and some merchants even began to sit in their stores and yawn.

Qian Renxue pouted. She only knew that there was a very lively Lantern Festival in Coconut Grove City. At that time, many people from Wuhun City would come here to enjoy the lanterns. Therefore, this kingdom can be said to have the closest relationship with Wuhun Palace. One is also the best one to strive for.

"Pretty lady, would you like to buy a flower?"

A thin girl walked up to Qian Renxue with a basket of flowers. Looking at her sallow face, Qian Renxue felt a little distressed. For such a young child, she should have been playing in the fields and acting coquettishly in her parents' arms. She shouldn't have been there. Making a living on the streets.

Even though the flower basket contained only wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, Qian Renxue still bought the entire flower basket, which made the girl very happy.

"Thank you, kind sister!"

"Little sister, why are you selling flowers on the street? Where are your parents? Don't they care about you?"

When Qian Renxue saw the girl, she seemed to remember her past. Could it be that this girl is not liked by her parents?
"... "

After hearing this, the girl's originally excited face suddenly dimmed.

"My father was drafted into the army because of the war and never came back. My mother was sick. The doctor uncle in the village said that my mother's illness could only be cured by a healing soul master, but the charge of a soul master was too high, and I didn't have that much money. I can only sell some flowers to make more money to treat my mother’s illness.”

The little girl said the most heart-wrenching words in the most tender voice. Qian Renxue's nose felt sore after hearing this, and tears almost came to her eyes.

"Little sister, don't worry, I can also see a doctor. How about you take me to your home and I will see a doctor for your mother?"

After hearing this, the little sister ran away quickly because her mother had warned her that if someone said they wanted to go home with you or something, you must get rid of her. The little girl was able to tell Qian Renxue so much because Qian Renxue bought all her flowers and felt that she was a good person. "Hey, little sister, where are you going?"

Seeing the little girl running away gradually, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and followed quietly. After all, with the strength of a little girl's feet, how could she escape the follower of a Soul Saint.

But after Qian Renxue left, two figures quietly followed her.

"Old man, have you seen clearly? It's really..."

"I read that right, it's really her. Let's go, follow..."

As the little girl ran around, the surrounding buildings became lower and lower, more and more shabby, and farther and farther away from the city center.

The little girl didn't stop until she came to a shabby place. The environment here could not help but make Qian Renxue frown. There was a faint rancid smell in the air. The houses here were also very simple and shabby. Most of them don't even have much furniture, and the people here are all dull-eyed. Some are sleeping in the sun, or taking a nap against a tree. They look lifeless. If you look closely, you will find that they are more or less dead. Some disabilities.

After arriving here, the little girl felt relieved and walked forward step by step. Under a big tree, a little boy seemed to have discovered her and jumped towards her.

"elder sister…"

"Xiaowen, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to take care of your mother at home?"

The boy named Xiaowen was scolded by the little girl. After being stunned, he lowered his head sadly.

"Mom said she was worried about you meeting bad people outside and asked me to go out to look for you. However, you said you wanted me to take care of mom. I can only stay close to home and don't dare to go out...I..."

As he spoke, the little boy cried, and the little girl apologized repeatedly and hugged the little boy into her arms, and she couldn't help crying.

After crying for a while, the two wiped away their tears and walked forward side by side.

"Xiao Wen, my sister sold a lot of flowers today and made a lot of money. I will buy some delicious food later and get some medicine from my husband. You put the leftover rice in the pot first. I have seen We’ll set off after mother, do you understand?”

"Well, I understand, don't worry!"

The two walked to a clean house. The little boy took out the key, opened the door, and walked in. Qian Renxue, who had been following silently along the way, also came to the door.

"Mom, how are you today? I sold out all the flowers today. I will go to my husband to get some medicine later. You will feel better soon after taking it..."

"Ahem..." A woman's heavy coughing sound came from the room.
