Douluo Continent: Qian Renxue's sacrifice at the beginning helped me become a god.

"We have found my brother. In addition, we have also discovered traces of what appears to be the Serpent Spear Douluo."

Piecing together the highlighted words reveals the precise message you want to convey.

These were naturally taught to Hu Liena by Qian Yu.

It's always better to be cautious in whatever you do.

"Have you found the Serpent Spear Douluo?"

Upon seeing the contents of the secret letter, Qianyu fell into deep thought once again.

If only he and Green Bamboo were hiding in this Heavenly Dou City, they wouldn't be easily exposed as long as they didn't act rashly.

Even with the addition of Hu Liena, with the angel's head and soul bone, she can still hide and disguise herself.

But if there's another Title Douluo, then things might change.

In this era, titled Douluo are extremely rare.

No matter how well disguised, once the aura of a Title Douluo is revealed, he will surely be found.

"It seems we need to prepare another safe hiding place."

After much deliberation, Qianyu still couldn't think of a suitable place.

Indeed, the Douluo Continent today is filled with Tang San's people.

He had considered going to the Sun Moon Empire to develop his career, but the key issue was that he had no idea where the Sun Moon Empire was located.

They wanted to get there, but they had to cross the sea, which was still Tang San's territory.

"Then let's make them suffer a bit and settle them in the Starry Sky Forest."

After some deliberation, Qianyu decided to have them hide in the Star Dou Great Forest.

I just don't know where those ferocious beasts are hiding now.

"Green Bamboo, go and buy a large amount of daily necessities. Remember, don't be afraid of trouble. Have people go to several shops and make several trips."

Qianyu gave instructions to Lvzhu.

Although there is still no clear news about Serpent Spear Douluo and his group, we should still make thorough preparations in advance.

Then Green Bamboo got busy.

The next day, Hu Liena delivered the secret letter on time.

As mentioned before, we found the Serpent Spear Douluo, and we also found the Porcupine Douluo.

But now there is a very critical problem: they have damaged the very foundation.

Besides that, there are some other problems.

Hu Liena hopes that Qianyu will go there.

To go or not to go is a big question.

Although we've known each other for so long and Hu Liena is trustworthy, what if something goes wrong?

What if he himself encounters a problem?

"Green Bamboo, for the next period of time, you stay in Heaven Dou City and cultivate diligently. Carry out the previous plan as long as possible, and cut ties immediately if you discover any bad signs."

"You must prioritize your own safety. Once this busy period is over, I'll try to get you a top-quality ten-thousand-year-old soul bone."

In the end, Chiba decided to go.

There was no other way; he needed a soul ring that was of the highest quality in both age and appearance.

I have to gamble.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to draw a picture of a cake for Green Bamboo.

Although Green Bamboo is trustworthy, the promises still need to be made.

"Young Master, are you going alone?"

Green Bamboo looked at Qianyu, her eyes still filled with worry.

"It's alright, I'm actually safer on my own."

Qianyu still had some confidence.

With his current strength, he could still kill even a five-ring Soul King.

Chapter 14 The Insatiable Nobles

Qianyu rented a carriage and headed to her destination.

More than half a year has passed since the Spirit Hall was defeated.

The two great empires have now seized most of the Spirit Hall's legacy, making them incredibly wealthy.

Logically speaking, with the fall of the behemoth that is the Spirit Hall, many other forces should have emerged from the ashes.

Even without the emergence of other forces, with so many deaths and so many additional resources, the lives of ordinary people in the middle and lower classes should be somewhat better.

But Chiyu discovered that things did not go as she had expected.

"Brother, as a esteemed Soul Master, why are you doing work that only ordinary people can do?"

Qianyu looked at the middle-aged man who was driving the carriage and asked.

He could sense that the other party was also a second-ring Soul Master.

On the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters are extremely prestigious. Not to mention a two-ring Soul Master, even a one-ring Soul Master is considered an honored guest in many places.

"why?"

"Naturally, it's all about survival."

"The Empire won, which is something to be happy about, but for us, life has not only not improved, it has become worse."

"In addition to no longer being able to collect gold soul coins from the Spirit Hall, five or six new taxes have been added."

"Most importantly, it seems that we first and second-ring Soul Masters are useless. When the Spirit Hall was still around, there were special positions provided for us to maintain the Soul Hunting Forest and awaken our Martial Souls. These were jobs that ordinary people couldn't do and that powerful Soul Masters were unwilling to do. But now, all of that is gone..."

"The most ridiculous thing is that ordinary people used to be able to pull carts, but now they can't do it anymore because the roads are unsafe, because we've taken their jobs..."

When this matter was mentioned, the Soul Master driving the carriage talked on and on, as if he was reminiscing about the good old days, or as if he was complaining about the state of the world.

"More greedy than imagined?"

"Having swallowed up such a large territory as the Spirit Hall, are you still not satisfied?"

Qianyu murmured to himself that the greed of these nobles was even greater than he had imagined.

However, he did think it was a great era.

Without experiencing hardship and loss, one will never know how precious it is to have something again.

If a few hundred years pass, and this generation dies, their descendants will have been completely domesticated, making it very difficult to do anything at that time.

If I succeed at this point in time, I will truly be able to command a large following.

Of course, this does not include the nobles.

For the rest of the journey, besides the necessary training, Qianyu spent most of her time enjoying the scenery along the way.

The Soul Master driving the car probably sensed the fluctuations in his leaked Soul Power and didn't make any overstepping moves from beginning to end.

It took him more than ten days to finally reach his destination.

Blackstone Village is a very ordinary little village.

He hadn't been there long when three figures appeared in front of him.

One of them was Hu Liena.

As for the other two, one is flamboyant and the other is gloomy and deep.

Clearly, it was Yan and Xie Yue.

Although I haven't seen their former glory, I can tell from their out-of-place attire and depressed mood that they haven't been doing well lately.

"Why must I come here?"

Qianyu did not immediately interact with the other two, but instead looked at Hu Liena.

"My predecessors, Serpent Spear and Porcupine Pufferfish, don't trust me!"

Hu Liena was also quite helpless about this. She knew that even without what she had done, she would not be liked by these two.

After all, they were closer to Qian Renxue.

"Let's go, I'll go and meet these two seniors!"

After hesitating for a moment, Qianyu still decided to take the risk of contacting the two.

The current situation requires the protection of a Title Douluo.

"Brother, take Qianyu to see the two seniors. I have something to say to Yan."

Hu Liena did not lead the way, but instead glared at Yan with a fierce look.

Qianyu naturally knew why Hu Liena was like this. From the moment he appeared and spoke, Yan was very dissatisfied with him, and hesitated to speak several times. If Hu Liena hadn't given him some instructions beforehand, he might have already turned on him.

Then, accompanied by Xie Yue, they headed into the village.

Along the way, Xie Yue greeted passersby with great familiarity.

"Aunt Guihua, are you going up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables again?"

"So early in the morning!"

“This is my distant cousin. He’s never been to the countryside before, so we invited him to stay for a couple of days.”

"........."

Clearly, Xie Yue has fused better than Yan, and his mindset is also better.

Among the golden generation of the Spirit Hall in the past, Xie Yue's spirit quality was the worst, and his talent was also the worst, but Qian Yu valued him more.

The most fundamental reason, of course, is his temperament.

"It seems you're adapting quite well, but I wonder if this kind of life has helped you forget your deepest obsessions."
