Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 193 The Delusion of a Grandfather and Grandson Through the Ages, Wings of the Demon!

As Qian Gu Dongfeng hung up the communication device, a crisp knock came from outside the room shortly afterward, accompanied by a male voice.

"Grandpa, I'm coming!"

"Zhangting, come in."

Upon hearing the sounds outside, Qian Gu Dongfeng, who was sitting in his chair, had a sudden thought and spoke.

Immediately afterwards, the door was opened from the outside, and a young man dressed in white stepped in.

Upon seeing the young man, a hint of satisfaction imperceptibly appeared in Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes.

This is his grandson, Qian Gu Zhangting. His martial soul not only inherited the Panlong Staff of their Qian Gu family, but also had full innate soul power when he awakened his martial soul at the age of six.

Therefore, ever since Qian Gu Zhangting awakened his martial soul, he secretly regarded Qian Gu Zhangting as the next successor of the Qian Gu family, and also intended to cultivate Qian Gu Zhangting to become the next master of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

"Zhangting, please sit down." Qian Gu Dongfeng pointed to the seat in front of him and said with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation from a senior to a junior.

"Yes, Grandpa." Qian Gu Zhangting responded obediently and sat down across the table.

He was quite handsome, tall, and had a gentle smile on his face, but a hint of frivolity would occasionally flash in his eyes.

"I wonder why Grandpa summoned me here this time?" After sitting down, Qian Gu Zhangting took the initiative to ask.

Qian Gu Dongfeng asked meaningfully, "Grandpa is asking you, what are your feelings for Na'er?"

Qian Gu Zhangting paused for a moment, but upon hearing Na'er's name, a fiery glint appeared in his dark yellow eyes.

As Na'er has grown up over the past few years, her appearance and figure have begun to resemble those of a beautiful woman, and she has become increasingly beautiful, even carrying a hint of nobility that makes people want to conquer her.

“Grandpa, didn’t you tell me to get close to Na’er half a year ago? Of course, I followed your instructions.” Qian Gu Zhangting met Qian Gu Dongfeng’s gaze and continued, “Of course, I also like Na’er very much.”

Ever since he first met Na'er six months ago, he had wanted to conquer this stunningly beautiful girl who was aloof to others.

In his view, Na'er was not only beautiful, but also exceptionally talented. At a young age, she had the cultivation of a late-stage Soul Venerable, and she was also the disciple of Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of their Spirit Pagoda.

Therefore, in his view, their abilities, status, and appearance were all a perfect match for him.

"Hmm." Qian Gu Dongfeng nodded slightly, and said meaningfully, "So, how is your progress in getting closer to Na'er?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Zhangting's expression immediately turned somewhat awkward, and even a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

Although he had high hopes for Na'er, every time he tried to get close to her over the past six months, he failed, as Na'er remained indifferent to him.

You must know that he is the next successor of the Spirit Pagoda! He holds an unparalleled position within the entire Spirit Pagoda, and some even call him the designated crown prince of the Spirit Pagoda.

However, Na'er didn't care about his identity at all and ignored him completely.

"It seems there's no good progress," Qian Gu Dongfeng said knowingly, then a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes as he added, "Do you know why you can't get close to Na'er?"

"Grandpa, why is this?" Qian Gu Zhangting was slightly taken aback, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

"Because Na'er already has a childhood sweetheart, doesn't she?" Qian Gu Dongfeng calmly poured himself a cup of tea.

"Childhood sweetheart? Grandpa, are you referring to that fallen disciple of the Body Sect?" Qian Gu Zhangting narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

He never expected that he, the next successor of the Spirit Pagoda, would be inferior to a disciple of a fallen sect!

“That’s right.” Qian Gu Dong Feng picked up his teacup and said, “So if you really want to get into Na’er’s heart, the first thing you have to do is deal with this kid named Jiang Xiu.”

"Then what should I do, Grandpa?" Qian Gu Zhangting took a deep breath and said, "Find someone to take him out?"

Upon hearing the first sentence, Qian Gu Dongfeng was somewhat gratified, after all, Qian Gu Zhangting had finally learned to ask questions. However, upon hearing the second sentence, he couldn't help but reprimand him: "Reckless!"

If they really hire someone to assassinate Jiang Xiu, it would be fine if the assassination succeeds, as this would leave no evidence against him.

However, if they hadn't assassinated Jiang Xiu and the Body Sect had learned that they were responsible, their ancient family would probably have suffered the same fate as Shrek Academy last time.

Furthermore, he is currently working to move those two God-Slaying Class fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells out, and at this critical juncture, he absolutely cannot attract excessive attention from the outside world.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I was too hasty." Qian Gu Zhangting seemed to realize his mistake, and then obediently asked, "Then what do you mean, Grandpa?"

He knew that his grandfather had called him up because he must have already come up with a plan for him.

It's worth noting that before his grandfather became the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, he was a renowned strategist and arguably the top idea master of the tower.

"You, you." Qian Gu Dongfeng nodded slightly after seeing his grandson admit his mistake, but did not continue to scold him.

After all, this is his beloved grandson.

He had watched him grow up since he was a child and had been entrusted with important responsibilities. He believed that Qian Gu Zhangting would be able to lead their Qian Gu family to prosperity for three generations.

So we'll just have to spoil them a little.

Immediately, Qian Gu Dong Feng put down his teacup and said solemnly, word by word, "Jiang Xiu has now come to the Spirit Pagoda with Na'er. The best way for Soul Masters to compete for items is to see who is stronger. As long as you defeat Jiang Xiu in front of Na'er, regardless of what happens in the future, it will definitely wear down Na'er's good impression of Jiang Xiu and increase her good impression of you. In comparison, you will have a chance."

Listening to his grandfather's words, Qian Gu Zhangting's eyes brightened even more.

His grandfather truly possessed extraordinary wisdom.

"But Grandpa, what if Jiang Xiu doesn't agree to the duel with me? After all, I'm so many years older than him, even if he refuses, it won't matter, right?" But the next moment, Qian Gu Zhangting seemed to remember something and said with some distress.

He was nearly ten years older than Jiang Xiu. Although he believed he could definitely defeat Jiang Xiu, it would all be in vain if Jiang Xiu did not agree to fight.

"Hmph! He can't possibly disagree. When the time comes, you lower your cultivation to the same level as Jiang Xiu, and use guidance as an excuse, then take out this item as a temptation. He definitely won't be able to resist." Qian Gu Dong Feng snorted lightly, his tone full of unquestionable certainty.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a magnificent jade box appeared on the table, inside which lay a soul bone.

This soul bone has a very unique appearance, shaped like a pair of wings, covered with dense dark patterns, with faint blood-red light flowing around it. The overall color is black and red, and there is a lightning rune in the center of each side of the wings, making it look extremely mysterious.

"What is this?" Qian Gu Zhangting asked in surprise.

"This is a wing-shaped external soul bone, which came from the scorpion tiger that was turned into a soul spirit in our Spirit Pagoda. It is called the Wings of the Demon." Qian Gu Dongfeng said softly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Jiang Xiu has come here this time to absorb the soul of that scorpion tiger. When you take out this item, he will definitely not be able to resist the temptation. Then it will depend on your performance."

According to legend, apart from 100,000-year-old soul beasts that always produce soul bones upon death, other soul beasts are more likely to produce soul bones if they are more emotionally agitated before death.

As the third-ranked Unyielding Soul Spirit in their Spirit Pagoda, the Scorpion Tiger struggled and resisted greatly before being made into a Soul Spirit. Moreover, it possessed the bloodline of the God-level Soul Beast Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Although it was partly due to luck that it dropped such a precious Soul Bone, it was not surprising.

"Then I'll go right away!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Zhang Ting immediately understood and put away the jade box, preparing to go.

Of course, he was extremely confident in his own combat strength, and Qian Gu Dong Feng was also extremely confident in his grandson's combat strength.

"Wait!" Just as Qian Gu Zhang Ting was about to leave, Qian Gu Dong Feng suddenly called out to him.

"Zhang Ting, after this, you must also hurry up and cultivate the Battle Will, and cultivate the unique will of our Qian Gu family. Without this will, you will be at a great disadvantage when facing spirit attribute soul masters in the future."

"The ancient east wind solemnly instructed."

The Battle Will of the Eternal Family is a powerful intent that the ancestors of the Eternal Family comprehended from the Martial Soul Panlong Staff and through constant actual combat. It is somewhat similar to the intent of a spear or a sword.

But it is slightly stronger than these ordinary thoughts, more like the "Reign of the World" technique used by Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, ten thousand years ago.

And Hao Dong's Three Wonders, which were infused with the power of emotion.

Furthermore, as far as he knew, his father, Zhan Tian Douluo, had once fought against a divine artifact with the Panlong Staff imbued with battle intent and had not been defeated. On that occasion, he even joined forces with Tian Juan Douluo to annihilate the gray terror of Harosa.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm not that weak. I can't be trapped in an illusion by a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute, can I?" Qian Gu Zhangting said jokingly.

To create a mental illusion, one's mental strength must be at least at the Spirit Domain Realm. And when he faces such a powerful figure, he must have already broken through to the Title Douluo Realm.

At that time, who would dare to imprison him? And who could imprison him!

"It's good that you know what's going on," Qian Gu Dong Feng said with a smile.

Qian Gu Zhangting nodded slightly, then picked up the soul bone and walked confidently out of the office.

Today, he will prove himself to Na'er!
At the same time, an idea sprouted in his mind: if he could crush Jiang Xiu with his invincible power, he might be able to ruin Jiang Xiu's future cultivation path and cause him to never recover.

That way, he will never have a chance to compete with him again!

As the door closed, the room fell silent once more.

"Approaching the Soul Saint level at twenty, my grandson truly has the potential to become a Limit Douluo." Watching Qian Gu Zhangting's disappearing figure, Qian Gu Zhangting said with great emotion.

A hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes. How wonderful it would be if he married Leng Yaozhu and Zhang Ting married Na'er.

"However, Leng Yaozhu has been making a lot of moves lately, even starting to actively try to win over the tower masters of other branches. But this is destined to be in vain, and you will not escape my grasp."

As if he had just thought of something, Qian Gu Dongfeng smiled and said, "What Leng Yaozhu didn't know was that these tower masters had already joined his ranks and were absolutely loyal."

However, in his opinion, Leng Yaozhu's approach of besieging the enemy's stronghold and attacking reinforcements was indeed clever, just like his own.

"However, Jiang Xiu and the Body Sect do need to be dealt with properly." Qian Gu Dongfeng tapped the table, pondering silently.

He remembered that there was a powerful Underworld Emperor in the Holy Spirit Cult, and perhaps he could ask the Ghost Emperor to invite him out so that he could help him eliminate the Body Sect in the future.

As for Jiang Xiu, he vaguely remembered that Dark Bell, one of the four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Sect, was very skilled in assassination, so perhaps he could ask him for help when the time came.

"This vibrant, thriving feeling of everything is back."

With a single thought, Qian Gu Dong Feng suddenly felt that his Qian Gu family was thriving under his leadership!
Inside the Ancient East Wind Storage Soul Guidance Device, within a crystal-clear jade box, a purplish-blue bead quietly emitted a faint glow…
