Chapter 264: Chu Qin! Great Priest of Martial Soul Hall!_1
"For me what?" Qian Renxue asked with confusion.
"Nothing!" Chu Qin shook his head.
Then, he turned to Zi Ji and the others and said, "Zi Ji, I need to go to the Elder Hall. You all divide the clothes among yourselves!"
"Okay!" Zi Ji nodded lightly.
Soon after, inside the Chief Elder’s Palace within the Elder Hall!
At this moment, Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged on the bed. His complexion was very pale. His once entirely golden hair now had many white strands, and he was rhythmically using his Soul Power to heal himself!
However, it had little effect!
Not only had he been severely injured by Tang Chen’s Asura Divine Power, but the crux of the matter was that the Asura Divine Power had infiltrated his body, clashing with his original Angelic Divine Force, thereby making Qian Daoliu’s injuries exceptional!
"Grandfather!" Just then, Qian Renxue’s voice sounded from outside the Elder Hall!
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu immediately opened his eyes and stopped channeling his Soul Power!
"Xue’er, you’ve come!" Qian Daoliu said with a smile toward Qian Renxue.
"Grandfather, I’m here, and I’ve brought Chu Qin with me!" Qian Renxue glanced at Chu Qin beside her and returned the smile.
"Great Priest!" Chu Qin called out. Originally, Chu Qin should have addressed Qian Daoliu as grandfather, but he did not want to!
After thinking it over, the term Great Priest was a respectful address for him!
"Chu Qin, you’ve come!" Qian Daoliu said with a slight smile, nodding gently.
"Great Priest, you seem to have been seriously injured!" Chu Qin said, his pupils tightening slightly.
"Alas, one must eventually yield to old age!" Qian Daoliu sighed softly, "Who would have thought Tang Chen would become so powerful!"
"However, Xue’er tells me that you defeated Tang Chen? And even twisted off one of his arms?" Qian Daoliu asked with a hint of astonishment.
"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded. He wasn’t deliberately lying; after all, it was together with Flame Spirit Princess and Azure Dragon that he had defeated Tang Chen. Yet, these details would be superfluous if mentioned!
"To think that the archenemy I’ve sought to defeat my entire life was bested by you! Indeed, heroes emerge from the young!" Qian Daoliu said with a slight smile upon receiving Chu Qin’s confirmation.
"Xue’er, you have good judgment!" Qian Daoliu said, turning to Qian Renxue.
"Of course!" Qian Renxue said with a confident smile.
"Xue’er, could you step out for a moment and allow me to speak with Chu Qin in private?" Qian Daoliu paused before continuing.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue’s expression changed slightly, and she looked at Chu Qin.
"Xue’er, why don’t you go out for a bit!" Chu Qin returned the smile.
"Alright!" Qian Renxue said. Following that, she left with a slightly downcast expression!
"Great Priest, Xue’er has left, you can speak now!" Chu Qin said calmly, looking at Qian Daoliu.
"Chu Qin, first of all, I owe you an apology!" Qian Daoliu said with remorse.
"Are you talking about the matter with Yundi?" Chu Qin said, still as calm as water.
"Yes!" Qian Daoliu nodded, "Yundi is your woman, yet I laid my hands on her. For this, I must apologize to you!"
"Truthfully speaking, if you weren’t Xue’er’s grandfather, I might have taken action against you! But first, you are, and second, you ordered Yu Yuanzhen not to harm Yundi! The third point, I understand your intentions; you’ve devoted your life to the Spirit Hall, and if Xingluo and Tiandou form an alliance, you’re afraid the Spirit Hall will face annihilation!" Chu Qin said earnestly.
Qian Daoliu was silent, as Chu Qin’s words were indeed what he was thinking!
"I want to tell you, you’re wrong!" Chu Qin replied, "Qian Daoliu, at this point, I won’t hide it from you anymore! Bi Bidong is also my woman!"
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu’s face suddenly changed, becoming somewhat complex, with both joy and worry!
The joy was that Bi Bidong was the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, and thus, given Chu Qin’s character, Martial Soul Hall would never perish! The worry was that Bi Bidong still harbored deep hatred towards him, wholly intent on eradicating the foundation of the Angelic Sect!
"I know what you’re thinking," Chu Qin continued, "But rest assured, Xue’er is also my woman, and I won’t lay a hand on you. Moreover, I will help the Angelic Sect’s legacy to carry on!"
"Is that true?" Qian Daoliu finally said with a glint in his pupil.
"I never lie!" Chu Qin stated seriously.
Qian Daoliu sighed, "Ah, I should not have overestimated myself and chosen to challenge you!"
Qian Daoliu’s regret was immense; had he not offended Chu Qin, he would not have fallen to this predicament today!
"What’s done is done, there’s nothing much to say!" Chu Qin replied calmly.
"Chu Qin, there’s another matter I need to tell you," Qian Daoliu said after a moment of silence.
"Hmm, go ahead!"
"My life is not long for this world!" Qian Daoliu responded.
"What!" Chu Qin said, slightly startled. He could see that Qian Daoliu was gravely injured, but it shouldn’t have come to this extent!
"Yes! Tang Chen’s Asura Divine Power has invaded my body and is conflicting with the Angelic Divine Force originally within me. They are gradually eating away at my body and Soul Power! In at least two years, or at most five, I will be completely consumed!" Qian Daoliu replied.
"Do you want me to heal you?" asked Chu Qin, raising an eyebrow.
Qian Daoliu shook his head, "I’ve lived more than 150 years; I’ve lived enough! The only thing that concerns me is Xue’er; she carries an important mission, and to fulfill it, she needs my help!"
Chu Qin immediately understood, realizing that what Qian Daoliu was likely referring to was the Angel God’s Test!
"Therefore, I will persist and live for another two years!" Qian Daoliu said, "During this time, Xue’er’s Soul Power must reach level seventy-five or higher, and I hope you can assist her with that!"
"Don’t worry, I will!" Chu Qin assured.
"Hmm, I believe you! Then there’s nothing left to say!" Qian Daoliu remarked.
"Oh, and about my injuries, do not tell Xiao Xue!" Qian Daoliu emphasized.
"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded.
Qian Daoliu smiled with relief and called out to the door, "Xiao Xue, come in!"
"Grandfather, Chu Qin, what are you talking about? You’re so secretive; can’t even I listen?" Qian Renxue said with a rosy smile.
"It’s nothing!" Qian Daoliu replied with a smile, "Xue’er, you’ll be returning to Tiandou Imperial Capital with Chu Qin, right?"
"Hmm! Grandfather, you’re almost healed, and Chu Qin and I have already agreed that wherever he goes, I will go!" Qian Renxue replied with a smile.
"Hmm!" Qian Daoliu nodded, "Grandfather won’t blame you! However, you must return to Martial Soul Hall once a year, and within that year, you must reach level seventy-five!"
"Grandfather, is that necessary?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly.
"Hmm!" Qian Daoliu affirmed.
Then he took out two black-golden tokens from the Soul Guidance Container, "Xiao Xue, haven’t you always wanted to be the Adjudication Elder of Martial Soul Hall?"
"Hmm..." Qian Renxue nodded.
"These two tokens are the Adjudication Elder’s Token and the Chief Offering Order of Martial Soul Hall!" Qian Daoliu said, "Possessing them, you can command all forces of Martial Soul Hall except for the Pope, and you can also dismiss the Pope!"
"Now, I’m giving them to both of you!" Qian Daoliu added.
