Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 385 A Quasi-God! The Changes at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!
"The next successor of the Spirit Pagoda?"

Jiang Xiu muttered to himself, and couldn't help but glance meaningfully at Qian Gu Zhang Ting.

The truly powerful never play the inheritance game; whoever survives is the heir!
However, seeing that Qian Gu Zhang Ting had no intention of acting as the "treasure-delivering boy" again, Jiang Xiu was unwilling to argue with him any further, so he set off to leave.

It's not the right time for him to start destroying the Qian Gu family yet, and there's nothing to talk about with Qian Gu Zhangting. After all, Qian Gu Zhangting is far inferior to his grandfather Qian Gu Dongfeng in both personality and strength, and the same goes for his temperament. It can be said that he didn't inherit any of his grandfather's qualities.

"You! You!" Qian Gu Zhangting felt like a clown when Jiang Xiu ignored him, and then he tried to follow Jiang Xiu.

But just then, a powerful voice came from the cultivation room.

"Zhangting, come back!"

Upon hearing this voice, Qian Gu Zhangting paused for a moment, a hint of respect appearing in his eyes. After giving Jiang Xiu a fierce look, he turned and returned to the cultivation room.

Jiang Xiu's eyes narrowed as he took a deep look at the cultivation room.

With his Ant King's extraordinary perception, he could clearly sense that although the voice was somewhat old, it contained a unique intent, which was obviously a manifestation of comprehending one's own laws and infusing them into one's entire body.

Every word and action has rhythm!
The intent contained in that voice was to fight against heaven and earth!
“Qian Gu Die Ting…” Jiang Xiu instantly recognized the person in the cultivation room. In the entire Qian Gu family, only this person had broken through to the Limit Douluo Quasi-God realm.

"He was quite imposing, wasn't he?" Jiang Xiu couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the old man's experiences.

One of the main reasons why Qian Gu Dong Feng is now able to control the Spirit Pagoda is that Qian Gu Die Ting has left him a solid foundation.

This old man once bent the Golden Dragon Spear, a divine weapon, with the Panlong Staff. Even when the Qian Gu family was doomed, he sacrificed his own life to leave a glimmer of hope for the Qian Gu family.

He wanted to destroy the Qian Gu family, and Qian Gu Die Ting was arguably the most troublesome obstacle.

Even with Qian Gu Dongfeng, Qian Gu Zhangting, and the Purgatory Douluo Qian Gu Qingfeng, Jiang Xiu felt that none of them were as difficult to deal with as Qian Gu Die Ting alone.

"No rush, take your time. After all, Qian Gu Dong Feng hasn't completed its mission yet." Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and then he casually walked away from the corridor.

Inside the meditation room.

"Zhangting, your mind is in turmoil."

A sprightly old man looked at the ancient Zhangting Pavilion before him and spoke earnestly.

"Great-grandfather, it's Jiang Xiu who's so infuriating. His expression clearly shows he's questioning my status as heir," Qian Gu Zhangting said indignantly.

"What do external affairs and material possessions matter to you? When you are strong enough and your mind is stable enough, you will not care about these things. Moreover, when you are strong enough, no one will dare to question you."

Ultimately, it's because you're too weak right now.

"Qian Gu Die Ting said slowly."

“But great-grandfather, I’ve already surpassed so many of my peers. Aren’t I strong enough?” Qian Gu Zhangting was still somewhat indignant.

Qian Gu Die Ting frowned slightly. Qian Gu Zhang Ting possessed top-tier talent and was born with the best resources, yet he was now being compared to ordinary soul masters from the outside world...

"Alas, each generation is worse than the last," Qian Gu Die Ting sighed inwardly.

Although Qian Gu Dongfeng did not break through to the Quasi-God level like him, he was able to manage the Spirit Pagoda well. However, Qian Gu Zhangting's shrewdness and cultivation were far inferior to Qian Gu Dongfeng's.

……

Inside Leng Yaozhu's office.

"Aunt Leng." Jiang Xiu pushed open the office door and thanked Leng Yaozhu.

Whether it was arranging for him to meet the Titan Snow Demon King Atai, or putting restrictions on the Ender Dragon in advance, everything was done with his best interests at heart.

He will have to repay such help tenfold in the future.

"Oh?" Seeing Jiang Xiu walk in, Leng Yaozhu raised her eyebrows slightly, her dark red eyes showing a hint of surprise as she said, "Little Xiu, you actually succeeded!"

You should know that although she had restricted the Ender Dragon, it was still not so easy to absorb. She thought that Jiang Xiu would give up and save it for the next time, but she did not expect that Jiang Xiu would actually succeed.

"I have fulfilled my mission, but this is also thanks to your help, Aunt Leng." Jiang Xiu slowly sat down opposite Leng Yaozhu and said earnestly.

"A fifteen-year-old Soul Saint is even stronger than that person back then..." Leng Yaozhu stared at Jiang Xiu with her beautiful eyes, feeling the powerful aura emanating from him and his spirited appearance, and her heart couldn't help but flutter slightly.

"Aunt Leng, what are you looking at? Do you want me to get closer?" Jiang Xiu waved his hand, looking at Leng Yaozhu who was slightly stunned.

"You're asking for it." Leng Yaozhu gave Jiang Xiu a beautiful glare, slapping away his waving hand with her delicate hand, though the tips of her ears, hidden under her hair, turned slightly red.

"Xiao Xiu, absorbing the Ender Dragon isn't that easy, is it? With your current cultivation level, you can relax a little after breaking through to Soul Saint. Cultivation should be balanced; don't push yourself too hard."

Immediately, Leng Yaozhu coughed twice and said softly, "That won't do." Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly in refusal.

"Hmm? Why?" Seeing Jiang Xiu reject her suggestion, Leng Yaozhu frowned slightly, puzzled.

"I still want to help Aunt Leng get rid of Zhang Geyang as soon as possible, how can I relax?" Jiang Xiu said, blinking.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu was stunned for a moment. Her slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a hint of playful reproach appeared between her brows.

"You're such a little devil, always trying to make Aunt Leng happy."

Although it was a playful scolding, Leng Yaozhu's red lips curved into a beautiful arc, making her cold and beautiful face even more captivating.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiu shook his head and said, "No, I'm just genuinely thinking of you, Aunt Leng."

Then, Jiang Xiu pretended to understand something and asked probingly, "Could it be that Aunt Leng wants to go back on the terms she agreed to, which is why she made me..."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu immediately raised her delicate hand to interrupt:
"This tower master always keeps her word. Xiao Xiu, as long as you can help Aunt Leng deal with Zhang Geyang, Aunt Leng will grant you one request, any request."

"That's good," Jiang Xiu said with a smile.

Seeing Jiang Xiu's expression, Leng Yaozhu became interested. "Judging from this, Xiao Xiu, you seem quite confident?"

"I wouldn't say it's 100%, but it's at least 98%," Jiang Xiu said humbly with a smile.

"Oh?" Leng Yaozhu's red lips parted, as if she had thought of something, and her beautiful eyes sparkled as she said, "So, if you really succeed, what request do you want to make?"

"We'll talk about that later, we'll talk about it later," Jiang Xiu said, waving his hand.

Seeing that Jiang Xiu wouldn't say anything, Leng Yaozhu had no choice but to give up.

But for some reason, she also felt a strange sense of anticipation.

After another intense struggle, Jiang Xiu got up to leave. Just as he reached the door, he heard Leng Yaozhu say softly.

"Xiao Xiu, is this potted plant really mine alone?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu froze.

As if suddenly remembering something, I suddenly felt a cold sweat.

He finally realized what he had forgotten: Ya Li had been to Leng Yaozhu's office and must have seen the potted plant.

Who knows what might happen...

Jiang Xiu forced himself to remain calm and slowly turned around, but when he saw that Leng Yao and Zhu Qiao's faces did not show any anger, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems he was overthinking it...

Then, Jiang Xiu said seriously, "Of course, this butterfly crown flower is only for you, Aunt Leng."

"Alright, then go ahead." Leng Yaozhu smiled gently upon hearing this, and then waved her hand lightly.

Ever since Yali left, she had been pondering why Yali's attitude had changed.

One thought came to mind that Jiang Xiu might have also given Ya Li a potted plant, claiming it was unique to her, which might explain Ya Li's initial feeling of loss.

However, after hearing Jiang Xiu's confirmation, she has given up on the idea.

Sure enough, this was something unique to her, and Yali felt lost because of her envy.

Upon hearing that Leng Yaozhu had let him leave, Jiang Xiu immediately opened the door and ran away.

"Phew, that was close. Luckily, I learned some social skills and the ability to read people back then, otherwise I would have been exposed today."

Jiang Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Spirit Pagoda.

Just then, Jiang Xiu's communication soul tool suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was his senior brother Aruheng calling, Jiang Xiu casually answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, Aruheng's voice came from the other end.
"Junior Brother, bad news has come from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!"
