Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 740 Descendants of an Old Friend; Qian Renxue's Determination

Qian Renxue stared in shock at the young man before her, clad in golden armor, but it was clearly not a soul-guided artifact; even with her eyes, she could tell it was something else entirely.

It's a martial spirit possession!

Those are fine, dense scales!

"What, young master, don't you recognize me?" The young man's eyes held an undisguised pride, but his gaze toward Qian Renxue still carried a hint of respect.

"What's your name?" Qian Renxue and her three companions landed together.

Shen Yuanyi and the Ice and Snow Emperors looked at the young man at the same time. Their current cultivation levels were at least Soul Douluo, or even Soul Douluo with god-level aura, so they could tell his background at a glance.

At seventeen years old, with a soul power of nearly level sixty, he was already considered outstanding in this era.

"Miss, who is he?" Shen Yuanyi noticed a hint of excitement in Qian Renxue's eyes and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Young Master, my name is Tianhuang." The young man bowed slightly, then looked at the three people beside Qian Renxue, "These three should be the Ice and Snow Emperors and Miss Shen, right?"

"Hello there."

The two Ice and Snow Emperors nodded to him, then exchanged a puzzled look.

Looking at Qian Renxue, he wondered when Xiaoxue had such a friend? And why was she so excited to see him? Could he be a descendant of some old friend?

"Tianhuang, majestic and awe-inspiring, what a beautiful name." Qian Renxue sighed. "I never imagined... Actually, I mobilized many people to search for you..."

"Young Master, with a wave of your arm, we will naturally obey your orders." Tianhuang still maintained his smile. "However, you have moved too fast. I have only been training in the deep mountains for three years, and you have already successfully developed the influence of our Spirit Hall to spread throughout various provinces and counties."

"At first, my elders said that the Spirit Hall's influence had appeared in the Sun Moon Empire, and they thought it was someone impersonating someone else. But later, when the news of your finding the descendants of the Holy Dragon Sect in Dragon City reached my elders, they ordered me, who had just finished my training, to come to this newly built Spirit City without stopping," Tianhuang said. "Afterwards, I signed up for the city's Imperial Guard and have now obtained a minor official position. I never expected to be here today to welcome you back to Spirit City."

"He is the descendant of the Golden Crocodile I worshipped ten thousand years ago." Qian Renxue touched her face and introduced him to her three friends, "Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Golden Crocodile King, whose martial soul can turn the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon into an insect. He almost forged a divine body at level ninety-eight and withstood a blow from the god-level Netherworld White Tiger."

The other three suddenly realized.

Shen Yuanyi knew that Qian Renxue had asked the Bone Dragon Elder and the Shadow Hall to search all over the continent for the descendants of those who had once belonged to the Spirit Hall. This task had been underway ever since the descendants of the Holy Dragon Sect were discovered.

After discovering the Holy Dragon Sect, they expressed their unwillingness to immediately return to the battlefield and participate in the war. Qian Renxue understood and allocated some resources to help them recover and develop.

After that, the search for the descendants of the Spirit Hall was carried out in secret. After the war ended, many reclusive families emerged from seclusion, but there was still no news of them, which made Qian Renxue somewhat sad.

In fact, before Qian Renxue went to the New World, the Shadow Hall had reported some of the results of their search to her. They had indeed found some families, but they hadn't directly visited them. Since the Spirit Hall had failed, it was normal that they might not want to return to the fold, and Qian Renxue didn't insist.

But deep down, she always wanted to find them.

Now, the descendants of the former Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, have voluntarily appeared in Wuhun City, which is undoubtedly a great thing.

"The Imperial Guard Captain? Miss, isn't that too unfair to this young master Tianhuang?" Shen Yuanyi raised an eyebrow. "You should transfer him away immediately and offer him a high-ranking position and generous salary."

Qian Renxue snapped out of her reverie and prepared to nod.

"No need," Tianhuang shook his head. Qian Renxue was taken aback: "No need for what?

Back then, in order to catch Qian Renxue who was falling from the sky, Golden Crocodile Douluo took the lead in self-destructing his body, using his peak cultivation of level 98 to buy her a chance!

Tianhuang paused for a moment, then said, "I'm a straightforward person. It's true that what happened to our ancestor Tian'e is regrettable. But you don't need to blame yourself too much. That's how war is. Anyone can be sacrificed, but it doesn't matter how many people die, because as long as you're here, the Hall of Worship will still exist, the Spirit Hall won't have lost, and our banner will still stand tall."

Qian Renxue felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her heart.

Because the Golden Crocodile Douluo once said something similar.

"As long as our young master is still alive, our flag has not fallen, and we still have hope. If our young master sacrifices himself, then we warriors are nothing but walking corpses." Before self-destructing, Golden Crocodile Douluo said this to the other elders, and then transformed into the most dazzling golden light in the sky, catching Qian Renxue who was falling from the sky.

This was the code of conduct of the Hall of Offerings: anyone could be sacrificed, anyone could be abandoned, except for the young master who represented hope.

Golden Crocodile Douluo included himself in the category of "anyone" and put it into action.

Qian Renxue felt a little dizzy, and Shen Yuanyi gently pinched her to bring her back to her senses. Shen Yuanyi was probably the person who knew the most about Qian Renxue, as Qian Renxue had told her these things before.

"Young Master." Tianhuang stepped forward. "After learning that the Spirit Hall had appeared in the Sun Moon Empire, my family's idea was to observe first. Then, more than three years ago, they ordered me to go and train. If it really was... then let me come out and charge into battle with them. But by the time I came out, you had already finished."

"It's good that you're all rinsed off." Qian Renxue grasped his wrist. "Now that you're rinsed off, you don't have to risk yourselves anymore."

"So, I can't afford the high-ranking positions and generous salaries you just mentioned," Tianhuang said solemnly. "That should be the treatment of those who accompanied you on this campaign."

"So you mean you want to do things yourself slowly?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Although there is no more war, we still need to maintain order in times of peace." Tianhuang looked at the hands holding his wrist. "I will gradually achieve great things and eventually reach the position that our ancestors once reached."

"To avoid gossip," he whispered at the end.

"Okay, I believe you." Qian Renxue released her hand. "I also respect your choice."

"Then, young master, you should go ahead and attend to your business. Tianhuang still has patrol duties to perform here."

Qian Renxue nodded gently: "Be careful."

Afterwards, she and the other three went into the city.

"I wonder if the others have returned yet." Qian Renxue was slightly lost in thought.

In her heart, the importance of those who had worshipped her grandfathers was not insignificant. However, as a former loser, she had no reason to disturb their descendants before this success.

However, now that the descendants of Golden Crocodile Douluo have voluntarily appeared in Wuhun City, then the children of the other enshrined ones should also return, right?

Her gaze hardened a little more, as if she had made up her mind, but she didn't say it aloud.
