Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen is Coming

Chapter 70: Saving a Little Wild Cat (Together)

Soon, Xue Qinghe was in the noble carriage.

Her gaze passed through the gap in the carriage curtains and fell on the blade in the distance. A hint of depth and inquiry flashed in her deep eyes.

Soon afterwards, she withdrew her gaze, gently lowered the carriage curtain, turned to look at Uncle She beside her, with a barely perceptible hint of inexplicable meaning in her tone.

"Uncle She, what did you think of that young man just now?" Xue Qinghe's voice echoed in the carriage, breaking the original tranquility.

Hearing this, She Long pondered for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was recalling the scene just now, and as if he was thinking about how to answer.

He adjusted his sitting posture and spoke carefully:
"Young Master, actually I wanted to say this since we came out of the store. I can't quite see through Blade."

Xue Qinghe raised his eyebrows slightly and motioned Uncle She to continue.

"Before, when I found him, I secretly used coercion on him alone, wanting to test whether he was really as talented as the young master thought."

There was a hint of disbelief in She Long's tone.
"Although I only used less than 20% of my pressure, he turned around and glanced at me, and my pressure was instantly shattered."

Uncle She's voice lowered, he seemed still shocked by what had just happened.

He shook his head and continued:

“Even if it was a Soul Sect expert who was about to enter the Soul King stage, it would be impossible for him to be so stress-free in the face of my pressure this time, or even to shatter it directly.”

"Moreover, according to intelligence, he only awakened his martial spirit six years ago. No matter how talented he is, it's impossible for him to level up so quickly, right? Although we don't know his exact level either."

Hearing this, a look of deep thought appeared on Xue Qinghe's face. She bit her lower lip lightly, as if savoring She Long's words.

"I can only say that he feels really special."

She Long concluded with a hint of awe in his eyes. He couldn't help but be shocked at the young man who could easily break his pressure.

The atmosphere in the carriage became a little heavy. Neither of them spoke anymore, each immersed in his own thoughts.

The mystery and strength of the young man undoubtedly added a touch of uncertainty to their plans, and also made them more interested in this young man.

Soon, on the other side, Blood-Spirit Douluo heard She Long's comments and recalled the breath of the blade just now. His brows frowned slightly, as if he remembered something. His eyes revealed deep thoughts, as if he was trying to dig out a fragment from the depths of his memory. He slowly said:

"Speaking of which, I wonder if the young master still knows about an incident that happened six years ago in that remote town, Notting."

The voice of Blood-Spirit Douluo echoed in the carriage. His speech was not fast, but every word was clear.

Qian Renxue raised her brows slightly, she turned around, her eyes like lightning, looking straight at Bloodthirsty Douluo, waiting for his next words.

"At that time, a battle broke out near Notting City. The spiritual power fluctuations that erupted in that battle were very shocking. I was ordered to investigate secretly before, but I didn't get any clues."

There was a hint of regret in Blood-Spirit Douluo's tone, and his fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the carriage, as if he was recalling the scene at that time.

"But, after feeling the breath of the blade today, I always have an indescribable familiar feeling." The eyes of Blood Douluo became deep. He seemed to be trying to grasp the source of that familiar feeling, but he was not quite clear.

Qian Renxue became interested instantly after hearing this. A glimmer of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She looked at Blood-Stabbing Douluo with a playful smile on her lips.

"Oh? I did learn about that from the Spirit Hall, but I was busy lurking six years ago and didn't have much time to pay attention to this matter." Qian Renxue's voice carried a hint of self-mockery, revealing her regret for not being able to conduct a deeper investigation in the past.

"There is such a coincidence?"

There was a hint of surprise in Qian Renxue's tone, and she began to realize that all this might not be accidental.

"You mean, you suspect he has something to do with this?"

After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly became sharp. She stared at Blood Douluo closely, as if looking for an answer.

Thornblood Douluo was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly:

"Yes, I do have that feeling. The soul power fluctuations of that battle and the aura of today's blade, although it has been six years, I always feel that there is some connection between the two."

The atmosphere in the carriage became more subtle. Everyone was thinking about this possibility. The mystery of the blade seemed to have added another layer, and they were filled with more expectations and vigilance for the upcoming encounter.

But soon, a hint of hesitation appeared on Blood Douluo's face again. His fingers gently stroked the back of his head, and a hint of uncertainty was revealed in his eyes.

The passage of six years has made the memory blurry, and the truth of that battle is like a treasure buried by time, difficult to find.

"But I just feel a little bit like it. After all, six years have passed, and there was a forest outside the city at that time. It was almost destroyed, and there is very little information left."

There was a hint of helplessness in Thornblood Douluo's tone, and his eyes looked into the distance, as if he was trying to recall the destroyed forest and everything that happened there.

"Also, it was at that time that Blade, who was supposed to study at Notting College, disappeared. If you hadn't noticed him again a year ago, I might have almost forgotten about him."

There was a hint of emotion in Blood-Spirit Douluo's words. The disappearance of that young man was like an unsolved mystery, but now it has unexpectedly surfaced.

She Long, who was standing by, narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard with his fingers, his expression full of disbelief. His brows were furrowed, as if he was trying to digest this shocking information.

"Impossible? I also know about this incident, but when I heard about that incident, I guessed it was a battle between two Titled Douluo. I just didn't find out who they were."

There was a hint of doubt in She Long's voice and he shook his head, as if he could not accept such speculation.

"There are only so many Title Douluo on the continent. Although we cannot rule out the possibility that there are hidden ones, you know that six years ago, Blade had just awakened his martial spirit. How could he have the strength of a Title Douluo?! This is simply something that will subvert the entire continent."

There was a hint of excitement in She Long's tone, and his eyes flashed with shock and confusion.

Blood-piercing Douluo smiled bitterly and waved his hand:

"Of course, I just said that I felt like it. How could I dare to think that he had the strength of a Titled Douluo just after awakening his martial spirit?"

There was self-mockery in his voice, but the hint of doubt could never be completely erased from his eyes.

now,

Qian Renxue sat in the middle of the carriage, her eyes slightly narrowed, as deep as an ancient well, revealing her inner turmoil imperceptibly.

Her cunning is unfathomable. Years of disguise and experience have allowed her to always remain calm, but at this moment, her heart is in turmoil.

But listening to the argument between the two people beside her, Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly. She was a very shrewd person. Because of this year's investigation and this incident, she felt more and more that what kind of capable subordinate she had missed six years ago!

"A blade with no background from a small village. Six years ago was the best time to recruit him."

Qian Renxue's voice was low, with a hint of regret that was hard to conceal. Her fingers unconsciously clenched, her jade fingers lightly sank into her palms, but she seemed to feel no pain.

Even Qian Renxue, who had developed an extremely calm personality after years of disguising herself as Xue Qinghe, felt a little angry and regretful at this moment!

She was feeling very unbalanced. The pain of missing the opportunity was like a sharp blade, cutting her patience and confidence bit by bit.

If such a genius was raised by her side since childhood, and all resources were allocated to him, she would not hesitate to do so!

Such a thought flashed through Qian Renxue's mind, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

She knew that if she could recruit such a genius, her plans and her ambitions would take a big step forward.

As long as it can bring her benefits and help her achieve her goal of stealing the Tiandou Empire, she is willing to pay even the price of becoming a Titled Douluo!

Qian Renxue's breathing was a little rapid, and her eyes were burning with the fire of ambition.

But she also knew that now was not the time to regret, but to reassess the situation and find new opportunities to include this potential capable subordinate in her chess game. The atmosphere in the carriage became tense because of Qian Renxue's mood changes. Both Blood-Sterling Douluo and She Long felt the young master's displeasure. They exchanged glances and knew in their hearts that the next action would be crucial.

At this moment, Qian Renxue couldn't help but recall a lot of things.

She hated the woman in the Spirit Hall, and now she just wanted to make her own achievements! First, she must live up to her grandfather's expectations, and second, she must be the master of this world!

And now, it starts from the Tiandou Empire!!

Therefore, she will do whatever it takes to deal with anyone who stands in her way!

She would also use any means to win over anyone who was beneficial to her, or make them submit!
Although Qian Renxue also understood that she had missed the best opportunity to win over the blade, it was not too late! A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and her mind turned quickly, looking for a new breakthrough.

It should be said that as long as Ren is not a peerless Douluo like her grandfather, her Spirit Hall has something, bargaining chips, that can make this seemingly cold and ruthless Ren move his heart!
A confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She didn't believe that there would be anyone in this world who would refuse the temptation she offered!

After all, in the original novel, she was willing to be on equal footing with Tang San even though she gave up two Title Douluo, Jue Gui!
This determination and means are enough to prove her ambition and wisdom. Qian Renxue has already outlined a blueprint for the future in her mind, and the blade will be an indispensable part of her plan.

Soon after,

the other side,
Near the city of Soto in the Kingdom of Barak, deep in the Star Forest, a fierce chase is taking place.

In the forest, the sunlight shines through the dense leaves and dapples on the ground, adding a bit of mystery and danger to this primeval forest.

There were more than a dozen swift figures, shuttling rapidly between the branches of the trees. Their movements were agile and skillful, as if they had merged into one with the forest.

In the front was a petite purple figure. She was so fast that she looked like a flash of lightning, streaking through the woods, leaving behind a trail of faint purple light and shadows.

Her long hair fluttered in the air, and every jump seemed light and powerful.

Behind her were a dozen black figures chasing her relentlessly, with fierce light flashing in their eyes, vowing to capture the prey in front of them.

The purple girl was petite but agile, like a cat! Every time she touched the ground with her toes, she could burst out with amazing speed.

There was a determined light in her eyes. Although the soul attacks from the pursuers behind her were like a storm, she remained unafraid.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Suddenly, dozens of fierce soul power attacks came from both sides of the purple-clothed man in front like a storm, and they mercilessly locked onto the purple figure in front.

These attacks were accompanied by a scream that tore through the air, giving people a chilling feeling.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, several vicious attacks accurately hit the purple figure in front.

Her body trembled, as if she was hit by a sledgehammer, and she almost stumbled to the ground. At the same time, she groaned, obviously having suffered a heavy blow.

"Stop running! You can't escape!!"

At the back, the leading man in black shouted playfully in a rough voice.

There was a cat-and-mouse playfulness in his voice, and he seemed to enjoy the game of chase.

The purple figure in front just clenched her teeth. There was no fear on her face, only determination and indomitable spirit.

Without any hesitation, she stretched out her long legs and continued to run. Her eyes flashed with an unyielding light, as if telling the pursuer that she would never give up easily.

On the other side, in the dark,
Deep in the dark forest,

A towering tree stood quietly, its lush branches and leaves like a huge green umbrella, covering everything below tightly.

At the top of the tree, a figure was hiding quietly. He was Blade.

Ren's blood-red eyes were like a cold blade. He quietly watched the several fast-moving figures below. Those figures shuttled between the trees at such a fast speed that only afterimages were left.

His brows wrinkled slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, seeing this scene, the other companion has now been found.

A bit surprised, I didn’t expect it to be Zhu Zhuqing?

In the original novel, the Xingluo Empire belongs to the Dai family. Because the Zhu family can perform martial arts fusion techniques with the Dai family, every member of the Zhu family must marry into the Dai family from the beginning and be bound together in order to consolidate their rule.

Moreover, their two families have a so-called elimination system. Only one person can inherit the throne. Others who are not qualified will either be killed in secret or deposed and imprisoned.

It's the survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak.

Soon,
In the dense tree canopy, the figure of Blue Silver Emperor almost blended into the surrounding environment. She soon appeared beside Blade.

The Blue Silver Emperor, who also saw this scene, naturally recognized who the person below was. Her gaze followed Zhu Zhuqing below closely, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

She knew that the current situation might be a rare opportunity for them.

Soon, she looked at Ren's profile with loyal and serious eyes, and spoke slowly with a tone of respect and admiration.

"Master, this little girl is not like the previous one. She should be easy to control."

The Blue Silver Emperor's voice was gentle but confident. Her eyes revealed her absolute loyalty to the Blade and her careful consideration of his plan.

"Besides, she just wants to become stronger and fight for the imperial power. Her goal is simple and easy to control."

Lan Yinhuang continued her analysis, and her tone revealed her accurate grasp of Zhu Zhuqing's character and motives.

She knew that a person with a clear goal was often easier to guide and exploit.

"I have an idea. How about trying to get her to voluntarily step into the path of abundance, make her stronger, and let her fight for it. Master, you can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor?"

Hearing this, Ren turned his head and glanced at the Blue Silver Emperor, and said slowly:

"If you have an idea, just say it."

The Blue Silver Queen raised her lips, she really liked the character of her master Blade. She also knew that Blade didn't like nonsense, so she continued to speak briefly and concisely:

"After the master rescued her, he let her know the great power of abundance, accepted her as his disciple, and then let her voluntarily embark on the journey of fate. From then on, her life and death will be in your hands."

"I believe that she, who possesses such great power, will not let you down. Not only can she change her family's cruel elimination rules, but she, Zhu Zhuqing, can dominate the Xingluo Empire easily."

After saying this, the Blue Silver Emperor looked at Blade with burning eyes, waiting for his instructions.

In this regard, Ren thought about it for a moment, then nodded. He also felt that this was a feasible method, and it coincided with the system's prompt.

Zhu Zhuqing's family already had weight in the Xingluo Empire! As a member of the Zhu family, it was much more appropriate for her to come forward to fight for the imperial power than for him as an outsider. It would also be easier to appease the people of the empire and make those complicated aristocratic interest groups surrender.

Otherwise, if Ren himself comes forward, what he might be able to do is to kill all those who oppose him, which would be no different from being an evil creature.

Blade held the sword in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he said calmly:
"Let's go."

Then he added,
“Save the cat.”

The Blue Silver Emperor responded:
"Ok!"

Her voice was full of determination and loyalty. She was ready to follow Blade, implement this plan together, and contribute her own strength to Blade's great cause.

In an instant, the two figures disappeared from the spot.
