Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 44 Reunion with Qian Renxue, A Showdown
"My lord, are you going to abandon me and Zhuqing? We are your most capable assistants, the kind who serve you closely."

Ning Qiuyang is leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School again.

However, this time he will be away for a short time and the distance is short.

The remaining two locations for the Third Divine Trial are Tiandou City and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, which are not far away and not difficult to find. Ning Qiuyang can complete the Third Divine Trial in just a few days.

Moreover, Ning Qiuyang plans to act alone this time.

Faced with Zhu Zhuyun's pitiful expression, Ning Qiuyang remained unmoved and said:

"You and Zhuqing have been with me for so long, it's time for you to take a break. Besides, your soul power is almost at level 30, you should break through as soon as possible."

"Oh, I understand. Zhu Yun will stay home and wait for you to return, my lord."

After confirming that Ning Qiuyang wouldn't take her and Zhu Zhuqing with her, Zhu Zhuyun changed her expression, looking just like a virtuous young wife instructing her husband who was about to leave home.

In front of Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing was practically a greenhorn; he opened his mouth several times but couldn't find a chance to interject.

Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong regarded Zhu Zhuyun as their primary enemy, deeply feeling that her strength was terrifying.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Ning Qiuyang felt that if she didn't leave soon, their mental battle would affect her.

"Brother Qiuyang, you must come back soon."

Ning Rongrong was a little disappointed that she couldn't go out with Ning Qiuyang again. Ning Qiuyang said that he would be back in a few days, and she was looking forward to going out with Ning Qiuyang next time, so she wasn't too down.

Ning Qiuyang waved his hand and strode away.

After he left, the four women exchanged glances.

"Humph!"

They both snorted in unison and then immediately went their separate ways.

No, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing are going to the same place.

After leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Qiuyang's first destination was Heaven Dou City, which was closer to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

In the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, Qian Renxue, upon learning that Ning Qiuyang had returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, had thought more than once about taking the opportunity of visiting Ning Fengzhi to see Ning Qiuyang.

However, due to various concerns, she eventually gave up the idea.

But today, Qian Renxue couldn't calm down no matter what she did. The dark energy on her Angelic Martial Soul was fluctuating faintly, as if it were responding to something.

"Is it you coming?" Qian Renxue guessed.

"Little Lord."

Just as Qian Renxue was about to leave the palace, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo followed her.

"You don't need to follow me, I'll just wander around Tiandou City."

"This……"

The Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo exchanged glances, communicating with each other through their eyes.

"Should we still follow the young master?"

"Young Master said we don't need to follow her."

"But what if the young master encounters danger?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

After hesitating for a long time, the two finally obeyed Qian Renxue's order.

Young Master is currently posing as Xue Qinghe, and is in Tiandou City, so he is unlikely to encounter any danger.

What they didn't know was that Qian Renxue regained her original appearance shortly after leaving the palace.

Based on the faint senses transmitted by her martial spirit, she headed east.

As soon as Ning Qiuyang stepped into the east gate of Tiandou City, he saw a blonde woman walking towards him from afar.

Ning Qiuyang was not surprised.

When Ning Qiuyang left Qian Renxue last time, he sensed a dark and gloomy aura emanating from her.

Moreover, this aura is from the same source as him, as if it was absorbed by him.

On his way to Tiandou City, he sensed the dark aura within Qian Renxue. "What a coincidence, Sister Qianqian," Ning Qiuyang greeted her.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Finally seeing the person she had been longing for, Qian Renxue felt a little flustered.

She knew that her appearances were always so coincidental that Ning Qiuyang would definitely suspect her identity and purpose, but she still didn't use lies to cover it up.

"Little brother Qiuyang, you just got back, right? How about I show you around Tiandou City?"

"it is good."

Ning Qiuyang had long been prepared to encounter Qian Renxue in Tiandou City.

The two initially walked side by side, but at some point, Qian Renxue took Ning Qiuyang's hand, and they never separated again.

As she felt her angelic martial soul being gradually tainted by dark energy, a hint of black appeared in Qian Renxue's golden pupils.

Inside the palace, the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo were getting anxious.

"Young Master has been gone for so long and hasn't returned yet. Could something have happened to him?"

"Probably not. I'm just worried that the young master will leave Tiandou City alone again, and it will be difficult for us to find him."

"Hey!"

They both sighed.

Qian Renxue has always prioritized completing her missions, and their job of protecting her is quite easy.

But I don't know when it started, the young master gradually seemed to stop prioritizing the mission and would leave on his own at the drop of a hat.

This job is tough!

Unbeknownst to them, Ning Qiuyang and Qian Renxue arrived at the western mountain of Tiandou City.

This is the most remote place in Tiandou City. As the sun sets, there are hardly any other people around except for the two of them.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Qian Renxue's sacred face took on a slightly sinister air.

"Sister Qianqian, tell me, is it better for a Light Martial Soul to always devote itself to the light, or to actively embrace the darkness?"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"I don't know what others choose, but I am willing to accept darkness and am actively pursuing its power."

Qian Renxue understood that Ning Qiuyang's martial soul was of such high quality that it could influence and corrupt her Angel martial soul, and Ning Qiuyang certainly wouldn't be unaware of her changes.

She just didn't expect Ning Qiuyang to ask the question at this moment.

She was conflicted; should she answer if Ning Qiuyang asked about her true identity?

"Sister Qianqian, you still don't know what my martial soul is, do you?"

"you……"

Just as Qian Renxue was about to say something, the Ten Kings of Hell Tower, shrouded in black mist, appeared in Ning Qiuyang's hands.

After the Ten Kings of Hell Tower appeared, Qian Renxue felt that her martial soul was being corrupted much faster.

Moreover, her angelic martial spirit was restless, as if it wanted to directly throw itself into this strange black tower.

"What kind of martial spirit are you doing?"

Qian Renxue believed that her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was extremely special in the entire Douluo Continent, far surpassing those so-called top-tier weapon Martial Souls and top-tier beast Martial Souls.

However, when the Ten Kings of Hell Tower appeared, she discovered that her angelic martial soul was actually on the side of the inferior.

But how is this possible?
What kind of martial spirit mutation could raise its quality to this level?

"Sister Qianqian, my martial soul is called the Ten Kings of Hell Tower. Shouldn't you also release your Angel martial soul so I can see it?"

Ning Qiuyang decided to confront Qian Renxue directly, no longer hiding anything.

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted slightly.

"You know what my martial spirit is? Then do you know my true identity?"

Qian Renxue hasn't lost her mind yet. Ning Qiuyang is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If he knew her true identity, what about Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Given the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire, she was quite certain that if Ning Fengzhi knew her true identity, he would definitely tell Xue Ye.
