Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Upon hearing Yang Ping'an's words, Qian Renxue's expression seemed to change slightly, as if she were deep in thought.

Yang Ping'an continued, "I wonder if you, Miss, are aware that Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng have always had a very close relationship. It's likely that Prince Xuexing has been guiding and supporting Xuebeng's actions behind the scenes. So what advantage do you have left?"

Qian Renxue thought for a long time before speaking calmly: "This sincerity is enough. Tell me what you want to trade. You can't possibly have no requirements at all."

Yang Ping'an nodded and said, "I have two things I need you to handle. First, I need information about Tang Hao and Tang San, no matter where they are or what they are planning. Also, it would be best if you could tell me the address of the Clear Sky Sect as well."

Qian Renxue shook her head: "I don't know anything about Tang Hao yet. I've been looking for him for many years. As for Tang San, I hope you won't lay a hand on him. I want to recruit Tang San to my side."

Yang Ping'an stared intently at Qian Renxue, then couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss, you're really funny. If I remember correctly, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, died at Tang Hao's hands. And you actually want Tang San to become your subordinate?"

Qian Renxue was inexplicably furious at this moment: "Both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Three Upper Sects have high hopes for Tang San. If Tang San joins my ranks, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Yang Ping'an shouted, "Enough! I thought you were a smart person, but it turns out you're as stupid as a pig."

Qian Renxue instantly flew into a rage: "What do you mean by that? Am I wrong to want to recruit talent for the Spirit Hall?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "Recruiting talent might not be wrong, but the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect have been fighting for thousands of years, with all sorts of grudges between them. Do you think the people of the Clear Sky Sect are so easily conquered?"

Qian Renxue coldly said, "You don't need to worry about that. Although my Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect have been fighting for a long time, we became friends after our fight. In particular, my grandfather and Tang Chen are known as the two great figures of the Spirit Master world, and their relationship is very close."

Yang Ping'an felt like vomiting blood when he heard this. What kind of brain idiots are these? What kind of brain circuits are these? No wonder the Spirit Hall suffered such a crushing defeat in the original story. It turns out that all so-called rulers are like this.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but think of Bibi Dong and Hu Liena from the Spirit Hall. Although Bibi Dong seemed to be a man of great talent and ambition, he wondered if she would become as brainless as she was in the original story. As for Hu Liena, even though she avoided the Slaughter City and her relationship with Tang San, she still fell into the same trap as in the original story and almost became a criminal.

Yang Ping'an thought for a while before speaking: "Qian Renxue, I don't care what you think. Whether it's Tang Hao or Tang San, anyone who tries to stop me from taking revenge on them is my enemy. Since you are unwilling to cooperate with me to deal with Tang Hao, then I will handle it myself."

"But I also warn you, if you protect them, my cooperation with the Spirit Hall can also come to an end."

Qian Renxue's face was icy cold: "How dare you! Do you think you can provoke me too?"

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but chuckle: "What's this about provocation? Qian Renxue, you're quite interesting. I just wonder if you've improved at all over the years?"

Seeing Qian Renxue's somewhat puzzled look, Yang Ping'an continued, "If I remember correctly, five years ago I was level 45 and you were level 62. But five years later, my soul power has reached level 76, while you seem to be only level 75 now. It seems you don't have the right to be proud in front of me."

Qian Renxue's face darkened: "What do you mean by that? Do you think you're better than me?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "It's not a matter of whether you're strong or not. It's a waste of your talent that a peerless genius like you would go and stir up trouble in the Heaven Dou Empire. I still feel unsatisfied with that battle back then. Let's find some time to have another fight and see who wins."

Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with arrogance: "Fine, I want to see just how far you, my former defeated opponent, have gone. But no matter what, I'm afraid you'll never be able to beat me."

Yang Ping hasn't discussed this issue anymore. Talking too much to these brainless little princesses is a waste of breath. It's better to let them experience the harsh realities of society, or to beat them into submission with his fists.

"The second thing is that I want the Vast Ocean Universe Cover of the Heavenly Dou Empire."

Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "The Vast Ocean Universe Cover? How do you know about the Vast Ocean Universe Cover?"

Yang Ping'an casually said, "There's no need for Miss Qian Renxue to worry about that. Just take out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, and I'll give you a generous gift in return."

Qian Renxue shook her head: "That's impossible. The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire. It was personally put away by Emperor Xueye. Even I might not be able to get my hands on it."

Yang Ping'an took out a jade box from his person. Inside the jade box was an extremely large Ganoderma lucidum, which was entirely purple. The surrounding purple mist indicated that it was extraordinary.

"This is a Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma, the finest among Ganoderma lucidum, with the effects of strengthening the foundation, nourishing the vital energy, and enhancing power. Legend has it that the Heaven Dou royal family's Martial Soul, the Swan, is a degeneration of the Emerald Swan. If the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma is used, it can make up for some of the deficiencies in the Martial Soul, and there may be hope of evolving it into the Emerald Swan. Even Emperor Xue Ye may be able to break through to the Title Douluo level."

Qian Renxue stared intently at the ninth-grade purple fungus in Yang Ping'an's hand, a ruthless glint in her eyes: "Yang Ping'an, you're playing with fire. If Emperor Xueye really reaches the Title Douluo level, all my plans will be ruined."

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "I only have one Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma, and it is quite valuable. It will also be of great use to you. Whether to give it to Emperor Xueye or to you is up to you. I only want the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. However, if you are not willing, I can go to Emperor Xueye. I believe he would be very willing."

Yang Ping'an originally planned to take the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma himself, but since his martial soul evolved, the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma seems to have lost much of its effectiveness.

According to the effects of the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma, it can indeed awaken one's bloodline, evolving from the initial Purple Gold Hero into the Golden Sacred Dragon. However, Yang Ping'an has always deliberately absorbed metal-attribute soul rings, so his martial soul is slightly different from the Golden Sacred Dragon, leaning more towards the gold attribute and losing the light attribute.

Emperor Xueye's situation is somewhat similar to Yu Xiaogang's, but because his aptitude is better, his martial soul has only degenerated rather than mutated, so he was able to cultivate to the level of 88 Soul Douluo. However, he is still limited by the Swan Martial Soul and has not been able to make any progress over the years.

Originally, Yang Ping'an thought that if he took out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower or the Qiluo Tulip Immortal, he could definitely greatly improve Qian Renxue's strength.

However, Qian Renxue's words just now dispelled Yang Ping'an's plan. There was no need for him to help such a brainless person. He could treat it as an ordinary transaction. That's why he finally took out the ninth-grade purple fungus, which was not a fairy herb.

Qian Renxue stared intently at the ninth-grade purple lingzhi in Yang Ping'an's hand. The ninth grade was already the best among lingzhi, and the misty purple aura further demonstrated its extraordinary nature. In addition, its effects of strengthening the foundation, nourishing the vital energy, and enhancing skills could definitely make up for the time wasted in the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.

"Qian Renxue, if you have any questions, you can go to the Spirit Hall to ask my master, or even your grandfather, whether this Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma is really effective for you. I think they will give you the answer you want."

Qian Renxue nodded: "I can find a way to help you get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but remember this: you'd better not let me know that you went to help Emperor Xueye, otherwise even your master won't be able to protect you."

Yang Ping'an just gave a wry smile and didn't say anything more. This little angel's IQ was really too low; she didn't even understand a simple provocation.

Qian Renxue continued, "Now that you've revealed my predicament in the Heavenly Dou Empire, what methods do you have to deal with Prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing?"

Yang Ping'an smiled and said, "This is too easy. If we create the image that Prince Xue Beng is colluding with the Spirit Hall or the Star Luo Empire, even Emperor Xue Ye might not be able to protect him. Of course, Xue Beng is a bit of a playboy, so it's possible that he might actually die in some brothel."

……

After the two continued to communicate for a while, the former Xue still transformed into Xue Qinghe and left the room, while Ghost Leopard Douluo disappeared as a black shadow.

After the two left, Yang Ping'an's smiling face instantly turned ashen. He couldn't believe that Qian Renxue, the last inheritor of the Angel Clan, especially after experiencing so many years of struggle in the palace, was still so naive, actually wanting to bring her enemy under her command.

Judging from Qian Renxue's way of handling things, she might be sowing the seeds of disaster for the Spirit Hall. It was definitely the right decision not to join the Spirit Hall. Also, I probably need to make plans for my master and uncle as soon as possible.

After returning to the Crown Prince's residence, Qian Renxue's face also turned extremely gloomy: "Elder Ghost Leopard, this Yang Ping'an is too audacious. He actually dared to threaten me. I would like to ask Chrysanthemum Douluo how he teaches his disciples."

At this moment, Ghost Leopard Douluo looked somewhat apprehensive, while Porcupine Douluo remained silent throughout. Neither side seemed to be someone to be trifled with.

Finally, Ghost Leopard Douluo spoke hesitantly: "Your Highness, Yang Ping'an is clearly using a provocation tactic. Given his current situation, it is impossible for him to assist Emperor Xue Ye, let alone the Heaven Dou Royal Family."

Qian Renxue's face darkened: "Of course I know he deliberately provoked me. I don't want to be threatened, and I don't want to be insulted, especially by someone who is my defeated opponent."

Ghost Leopard Douluo quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, I think the ninth-grade purple fungus that Yang Ping'an took out is definitely top-grade and will be of great benefit to Your Highness's cultivation. We must find a way to obtain it, but since it concerns the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, should we reconsider, or simply send Chrysanthemum Douluo to Heaven Dou City?"

Finally, Qian Renxue nodded: "Alright, go and inform Chrysanthemum Douluo. I also need to find the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. I'm a little curious, given Yang Ping'an's personality, why would he be interested in the Vast Ocean Universe Cover?"

"Elder Ghost Leopard, do you think I can easily defeat Yang Ping'an with my current strength?"

Ghost Leopard Douluo's face looked extremely ugly, and he didn't know what to say. Now Yang Ping'an has a 100,000-year soul ring, and his soul power level is higher than Qian Renxue's. If they really fought, Qian Renxue would probably lose. Her only advantage was probably the strength of her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Yang Ping'an was a bit bored and wanted to wander around Tiandou City, but before he even left the house, he unexpectedly encountered Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing coming to visit.

On the way from Heaven Dou City to the Spirit Hall, Yang Ping'an had some interaction with the two girls, but they were not close. However, he couldn't very well refuse the two girls who came to visit him.

Compared to five years ago, the two seem to have grown a lot. Ning Rongrong has lost her former liveliness and seems to have gained a bit more composure and shrewdness, probably because she has been through the harsh realities of life.

Zhu Zhuqing still had that cold and aloof look, but she was not as hesitant and thin as before; instead, she seemed more confused.
