Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

The question that Qian Shui blurted out sounded extremely strange, and the huge tremors in the arena caused by the movement of the Ice Bear King and the Titan Snow Demon King's enormous bodies also trembled.

The tense atmosphere seemed to ease as a result, and Qian Shui's tense heart relaxed. At this moment, he held Xue Di's waist with one hand and put the other hand on her neck. Being so close, he could feel Xue Di's cool yet beautiful figure.

I glanced over subconsciously and saw Xue Di with a blank stare and her arms hanging down.

...

'Ouch~ This is asking me to make a mistake!'

'I can agree!'

'No, no, no!'

'snort! ’

...

"Ahem, let me introduce myself. I am Qian Shui, born in the Spirit Hall, a Spirit Soul Primordial Spirit, a level 90 eight-ring Soul Douluo."

We don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, so let's not fight!

"The commotion is already big enough. You know exactly what would happen if you brought all seven of those from the main hall here!"

But the little Hyotei didn't buy it at all, "Nonsense! It wasn't your family member who died! Of course you don't have any deep-seated hatred!"

"Tsk... You soul beasts must have killed quite a few people too. According to your logic and the law of the jungle among soul beasts, can I also wage war against you?"

As he spoke, he moved his paw further toward Xue Di's neck.

"No, no! I can give up anything as long as you release Xue'er!"

The captured Yuki-tei was like the back of the neck of a cat named Hyotei, preventing her from making any rash moves.

"Don't hurt my mother!"

"Bear? Mom?"

After glancing again at something she shouldn't have seen, Qian Shui straightened her expression and said, "How can you guarantee that the forces in the far north will immediately withdraw from the Frozen Forest?!"

Upon hearing this, Hyotei also emitted a mental fluctuation and ordered his clansmen to withdraw.

Seeing this, Qian Shui also put away the Dark Gold Terror Claw External Soul Bone that was held against Xue Di's neck.

"You've all seen how fast I can go! If another beast tide breaks out after I leave, I won't be the only one coming to the far north!"

Humanity is not afraid of war, but war is a complete drain on resources; regardless of who wins or loses, everyone pays a price!

After making those harsh words, he tossed the Snow Emperor toward the Ice Emperor and prepared to retreat.

Meanwhile, Hyo-tei, who had caught Yuki-tei, shouted to Chisui, "Wait! What about Yuki-tei?!"

"Oh, trouble!"

Flying to the Snow Emperor's soul, his primordial spirit possessed her body, grabbed her soul, and flew towards her physical form. The Emperor's Sword, now powerless, still aimed at Qian Shui, but this time, it couldn't even break through the soul power shield.

Stopping before the Snow Empress's physical form, Qian Shui emphasized again to the Snow Empress's soul form, "I'll say it again! Stop fighting!"

With that, he pushed her into her body, and then used his escape technique to flee the scene.

Of course, words were useless. The moment the Snow Emperor recovered, her 69 years of cultivation exploded.

"Damn! Luckily I ran fast! Not only was my soul power depleted, but my injuries haven't even fully healed yet!"

While his Yang Shen teleportation and clone techniques are powerful, their drawback is that his current cultivation level is too low, limiting their use to a few dozen seconds. If he uses one of them simultaneously, it can only last for a fleeting moment.

The people in the far north are numerous and powerful; if he doesn't run now, he really won't be able to escape!

"Why don't you spend a little more time with Xue'er over there?"

"Pfft~ Xiaoxue, is it really that serious! I had no choice but to do that!"

"Hmph! Men's words are deceitful!"

"Ugh! If only I had as much eloquence as Uncle Ghost!"

"What!"

"Isn't Uncle Ghost just a ghost?"

Qian Shui was never alone as he talked to himself. Although Qian Renxue couldn't participate in the battle because her current strength wasn't enough, let alone because she didn't have a martial spirit, she couldn't help Qian Shui break the ice seal when he used his Yang God.

However, she sees everything else very clearly!

"Xiao Shui! Seriously, if things really get out of hand again in the far north, it will be a bloodbath!"

"No problem. When we get married, the Grand Master will definitely come. We'll take a trip to the far north to set an example."

If they dare to make another move, then we'll really do it!

"Ah."

The deterrence theory posits that strength is always the foundation of peace.

At this time, the Douluo Continent and the far north could not guarantee mutual destruction; there was only one-sided overwhelming power!

Chapter 202 Turmoil

It was not the dead of winter, yet a heavy snowfall was falling in Tiandou City, which seemed extremely strange to those unaware of the situation.

But for the city's leadership, the situation was extremely critical, except that their leader had disappeared without a trace.

When Qian Shui, using the Thousand Illusions and Netherworld Possession abilities, stealthily entered the Crown Prince's residence, Ning Fengzhi was already waiting for him in his reception hall.

The only problem is that Sword Douluo Chen Xin didn't run as fast as Qian Shui, and Ning Fengzhi didn't arrive for long.

"Teacher, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The moment Ning Fengzhi saw Xue Qinghe, he jumped to his feet and said urgently, "Qinghe, the situation is critical, there's no time to hesitate! The ferocious beasts in the far north are rampaging, and a beast tide is about to rise!"

An immediate order must be issued to put the entire country on high alert and impose martial law at the borders!

This is a critical moment for the survival of humankind!

This is no longer a problem that the Heaven Dou Empire or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a single nation or sect, can solve. We must immediately seek assistance from other sects and the Spirit Hall!

Qian Shui smiled wryly. It was fortunate that Ning Fengzhi was so clear-headed; if it were someone short-sighted, things might have turned out differently.

"Teacher, Qinghe is confused. Please explain! Is it because of this sudden heavy snowfall?"

Although he knew perfectly well how things had unfolded, he still had to pretend and put on a show.

He managed to intimidate the Three Kings of the Far North today. Martial law should still be enforced, just in case.

"Previously, the abnormal fluctuations in soul power in the far north were sensed by Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu. At the same time, Qian Shui appeared! The explosion above Tian Dou City was caused by him!"

Just as Uncle Jian went to investigate, he saw a soul beast far exceeding the level of 100,000 years slashing at him with its sword. Uncle Jian didn't even have a chance to resist!

Perhaps we have some grudges against the Spirit Hall, but I'm afraid Qian Shui also understands that this concerns the survival of humanity, and actually blocked a sword for Uncle Jian.

Although I hadn't expected him to be so noble, I have to admit his boundless potential and formidable strength, but now he's probably dead and gone!

The loud bang was from him breaking the sound barrier; as for whether he died or not, he made no comment.

Although it's a bit frightening to think about, even a defensive soul skill with 100,000 years of experience couldn't block the Snow Emperor's single strike with the Emperor Sword. At the first encounter in the far north, with many ferocious beasts watching, Duan Lan would have been certain to die and had no room to maneuver.

But things are different after he comes back. With the harpoon artifact and the resistance reduction from the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the Snow Emperor will be greatly weakened after leaving the far north. He has nothing to fear anymore!

"Teacher, Qinghe understands and will do as you say immediately!"

"Qinghe, it's good that you understand. The teacher also needs to make preparations."

"Teacher! Please!"

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and left without further formalities, quickly departing with Sword Douluo.

...

"Ouch! I've been out of practice for so long, I almost ruined myself!"

"Didn't you die and vanish without a trace? Even your enemies praised you as a great hero of all mankind!"

"Oh! Do you think I'd die? Chen Xin's arrival is really unfortunate. I can run away!"

"Hmph! You're just relying on that! You've never thought about what would happen to the child if something happened to you?! What would happen to me?! Who would I marry then?!"

"..."

……

As the saying goes, every man who gets married will likely encounter this kind of unanswerable question, and often it's a problem that even his abilities can't solve.

Afterwards, the two discussed it and concluded that vigilance was necessary, but they couldn't let Ning Fengzhi make wild assumptions.

First, he used the excuse of visiting Ning Huahua. After all, he was nominally a teacher, so he went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to show his divine power in front of others, proving that he was not dead, so that Ning Fengzhi would not do anything unnecessary, lest he really provoke the Ice and Snow Maiden of the Far North.

In the middle of the night, he could no longer hold back and went to the Minister of Education, who was completely unaware of the situation.

"Wow! Brother Shui? It's you!"

Unlike usual, Yin Jin didn't walk home under the moonlight today; instead, he was accompanied by heavy snowfall, which made him more alert during his daily overtime work.

But he never expected to meet the person he wanted to see but dared not.

"Where is Ling Yunzhi?!"

At this moment, Qian Shui sat in the shadows, still looking like a Taoist priest, but with a serious expression. In the pitch-black environment, he was particularly terrifying in Yin Jin's eyes.

The direct question left Yin Jin momentarily speechless. After composing himself, he said, "Haha, Brother Shui, why did you suddenly bring him up?"

"I'll ask you one more time! Where is Ling Yunzhi?!"

For Qian Shui, who was not usually serious, these words made Yin Jin panic. She frantically flipped through the files at home, seemingly looking for some important information.

"Back then, we went our separate ways, and I don't really know the specifics. I can't really explain it. Brother Shui, take a look at this!"

As he spoke, he shakily handed Qian Shui a document.

"I don't know if you remember, Brother Shui, back then when Boss You and he had an accident in the far north, Boss You was seriously injured, and he went missing!"

Although I don't know where he went, after becoming the Minister of Education and participating in education reforms, I have a relatively good understanding of the Soul Master Academies throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.

Looking at the document in his hand, Qian Shui fell into deep thought. "Tianshui Academy... Shui Zhen'er's husband? The captain of Tianshui Academy back then with the Ice Sword Martial Soul? An Ice-type Soul Master who has never been recorded before?"

"Yes, I know him well enough. I hung up this document after seeing it, and I also investigated it privately."

The records show that his first appearance was when Shui Zhen'er brought him back to Tianshui Academy, which coincided with her soul-hunting expedition in the Frozen Forest! The timing almost overlaps!
