Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 268 Let Xuanzi thank Tang Qixuan

Hyotei narrowed his eyes: "What, judging from the murderous intent in your eyes, do you intend to kill me to silence me?"

"Xuanzi, calm down," Mu En whispered to Xuanzi.

As the head of the Sea God Pavilion, Moon cannot appear on the scene directly. If he were to show up rashly, it would undoubtedly be telling the world that Shrek City is now deserted and that everyone should go and attack.

"Don't push your luck!" Xuanzi said angrily.

"Going too far? Who's going too far?" Qian Renxue's cold voice rang out. "You set the rule that killing is allowed on the field, so it was fine for you to just walk away after you killed people a few days ago. Now that I killed your so-called subordinate of the Sea God in self-defense, you say you want to take me down? You have no shame, having lived for hundreds of years."

"But, by acting like a dog to the sea god, does the sea god even know who you are?"

Tang San certainly knew who Xuanzi was, but he didn't care. So it was the same as not knowing.

"You bastard!" Xu Jiawei shouted angrily, protected by the Grand Masters and Xuanzi.

"Heh, just another lackey who relies on his master's power." Qian Renxue looked at Xu Jiawei with sarcasm. "I clearly remember that your ancestors were members of the Spirit Hall. How come you're so happy to be Shrek's dog now?"

"You...!" Xu Jiawei was shocked.

How could she know that my ancestors were loyal to the Spirit Hall? To cover up this past, he ordered the burning of all historical records about the Star Crown Sect and the Xu family within the empire decades ago, just to prevent the black mark of his family's loyalty to the Spirit Hall from being exposed to the public.

"How dare you!" Cheng Gang, who had finally managed to pry himself out of the wall, heard Qian Renxue say this and immediately ran to the side of the viewing area, pointing at her and shouting.

"You should get your fingers straightened," Qian Renxue said coldly.

"Click—"

In an instant, a delicate surge of soul power arrived, forcefully snapping Cheng Gang's fingers off.

"Ah—!" A scream rang out as all five fingers on Cheng Gang's right hand were severed and shattered.

"Hiss—" Everyone who saw this scene was horrified.

"Just who is this little girl?"

"How could such terrifying combat power stand behind her?"

Suddenly, someone shouted, "I know her! She's the Sun Goddess!"

"The Sun Goddess?"

"A year ago, a two-ring Grand Soul Master appeared in the Soul Arena of Mingdu in the Sun Moon Empire. She defeated a Soul King in just over ten rounds, but this Grand Soul Master disappeared without a trace, and no one has seen her since!"

"You're wrong!" The Shadow Palace's informant spoke up at the opportune moment. "This Sun Goddess eventually went to Jingyang City of the Sun Moon Empire, established the Sun Temple, and became its young master!"

"The Temple of the Sun..." Everyone pondered.

Someone seemed to remember something: "You mean the Sun Temple, the one that awakens martial souls for free for soul masters and even gives away cultivation techniques?!"

"No wonder she could take on seven people at once when she was a Soul Master! It turns out she defeated a Soul King when she was a Great Soul Master!"

"Her Sun Temple actually offers free martial soul awakening to Soul Masters?! How could such a kind person become the target of everyone's criticism? She must have been wronged!"

"What injustice? What did the Sun Goddess do wrong in today's match?"

"But I've never heard of the Temple of the Sun before," a spectator who had almost spent all his money to buy a ticket to watch the game asked, looking rather clueless.

"You're so ignorant, listen to me..."

Xu Jiawei's expression changed completely. He had never met Qian Renxue, but he had heard of the Sun Temple and had even gone to great lengths to purge many people in order to cover up its existence.

Hearing the murmurs from the audience, Qian Renxue smiled subtly. Then, she slowly stepped forward: "Xu Jiawei, I only speak to you out of respect for your status as an emperor. Otherwise, what right do you have to act like a monkey in front of me?"

"Let me tell you, I haven't broken any rules today. On the contrary, it's you who are being so aggressive because the dead man was a subordinate of the sea god."

"Do you think you have the right to swagger around in front of me just because of your status?"

"Whoa—" The crowd erupted in an uproar. In the Star Luo Empire, who would dare speak to the emperor like that? Those who had secretly spoken ill of the emperor... were all dead!

"I have a question for you today, and for all of you in the audience," Qian Renxue said, holding up one finger. "Have any of my actions today violated any rules?!"

Xu Jiawei lowered his head with a gloomy look in his eyes. How was he supposed to answer that?

"No!" The members of the Shadow Palace began to shout.

"No!" shouted the audience from the Heavenly Soul, Sun Moon, and Fighting Spirit Empire.

Even the captain of the Douling Royal Academy, who was about to leave, shouted out along with his teammates who were still able to move.

Qian Renxue then coldly looked at Taotie Xuanzi: "So, what does Shrek Academy think?"

Xuanzi narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about? I only showed up because I didn't want to see the Star Luo Empire's royal family being bullied. What objection could I possibly have to this competition?"

What else can we do in this situation? We can only suffer for the Star Luo Empire.

"So Shrek finally remembered to protect their loyal dog, huh?" Qian Renxue suddenly realized. "So many people have defended Shrek in this competition, and you've finally decided to speak up for them."

"Oh, by the way, do you know someone named Tang Qixuan? He's become quite famous in Star Luo City lately." Qian Renxue said thoughtfully, "You should be most grateful to him!"

Xuanzi's face twitched: "Of course I know, I'll go and thank him."

"Alright, then let's do it today. Please, Your Majesty Taotie Douluo, thank that person now," Qian Renxue said with a smile. "I think everyone knows this Tang Qixuan, so let's invite him over."

Xuanzi: "..."

"Come here! Come here!" The audience started chanting.

Xu Jiawei had naturally heard of this old man named Tang Qixuan, but he also knew...

Isn't Tang Qixuan the same person as Elder Xuan?! How are they supposed to invite him?!

Pressed down step by step by the audience's voices, Xu Jiawei was forced to give the order to search for Tang Qixuan throughout the city.

Where can I find this?

So, the Xingluo royal family found a court official who, using his disguise skills, transformed himself into Tang Qixuan and was brought to the arena.

"Tang Qixuan, on behalf of Shrek Academy, I thank you." Xuanzi solemnly cupped his hands in thanks.

The fake Tang Qixuan's lips twitched: "You're welcome, it's what I should do."

However, it was this very "old man" that caused trouble.

Hyotei coldly stared at the fake Tang Qixuan: "Oh, it seems Mr. Tang Qixuan is of quite a status. He even refers to himself as 'this old man,' so he must be a big shot, right?"

"Ice Emperor Sister has learned a lot of the essence now," Qian Renxue thought to herself.

Faced with the oppressive aura of Hyotei, the fake Tang Qixuan trembled, "What are you saying? I'm just an ordinary person who admires Shrek Academy."

Suddenly, the Ice Emperor laughed: "To be able to stand and speak under my oppressive aura, your cultivation level is definitely higher than that Cheng Gang's! Tell me the truth! Where is the real Tang Qixuan?!"

After taking control of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Crown Sect once again kept a low profile. Over thousands of years, many people have forgotten that the current Star Luo Empire's royal family was once a powerful Soul Master sect. The Star Crown Martial Soul has not appeared in the world for countless years.

The above is from Chapter 108 of Douluo Continent II.
