Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"It's absolutely true. This was done by Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San. Because of the murder of his master, and because Tang San lured Yu Xiaogang into the battle for Soul Emperors and above, he was indirectly killed by his nephew, Yu Tianheng. This matter has caused quite a stir, there's no doubt about it."

What you have in your hand are photos of Yu Xiaogang's body, along with a detailed report. It seems that he was later killed in a fight... and his remains were never recovered..."

The photo that Yue Guan gave to Bibi Dong was actually taken by Qian Shui. It was originally handled by Qian Renxue, but no photo was kept, which caused Yu Xiaogang and Shi Nian to explode.

However, under Qian Shui's formidable mental strength, Qian Renxue contributed her memories of the battlefield, and Qian Shui used 'Thousand Illusions' to simulate the scene, making it incredibly realistic!

"Impossible! This is impossible! Xiao Gang! Xiao Gang! How could you!" Soon, Bibi Dong, who was flipping through the photos, began her mental journey of refusing to admit the truth.

"Ah!! Tang San! Yu Tianheng! Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! You will all die!!!"

Tears streamed down Bibi Dong's cheeks, accompanied by her mournful and desperate howl as she unleashed her raging, dark purple soul power, which was restricted by the Rakshasa God's Trial at level 98!

Just then, the doors of the Papal Palace opened, and a familiar figure collapsed in front of it. "Teacher! It's too late! Please! Please go and save Xiaoxue and Qingyu!"

Chapter 263 Qian Shui Dies? Qian Renxue Is in Imminent Danger? Bibi Dong Is in Deep Despair [8000 words]

"Teacher, Xiaoxue and Qingyu are on the verge of death! Please, save them!"

Bibi Dong lost all sense of propriety. She rushed forward and immediately hugged Qian Shui, checking on her. "What happened?! Yue Guan, quickly summon a healing soul master!"

“No need…it’s no use…” Qian Shui’s voice was extremely hoarse.

Yue Guan, who was originally about to leave, also stopped in her tracks.

Yu Xiaogang's death was a huge shock to Bibi Dong, and what was even harder for her to accept was that Liu Erlong was able to stay by Yu Xiaogang's side, while she had only just found out.

She knew about the image-capturing soul tool; what she photographed was genuine and could not be faked.

The sight of Yu Xiaogang's body, reduced to ashes and with his flesh and blood splattered and stuck to the walls and floor, caused Bibi Dong to nearly faint from the pain.

At that very moment, her disciple pushed open the door and entered, saying something like, "My daughter and grandson are on the verge of death?"

Qian Shui looked utterly miserable; she was almost completely naked, and her disheveled hair was a tangled mess, cut off by something. Anxious and worried, Bibi Dong quickly helped Qian Shui up. "Tell me quickly! What happened! How is Qing Yu?!"

"Teacher, this is the first time you've shown me such concern... cough cough..."

"I've always cared about you..."

"It's too late, teacher... This body is an avatar of the original body. The original body is on the verge of death. If the original body dies, this body will also disappear." Qian Shui, who was in Bibi Dong's arms, was extremely pale and weak.

Then he revealed an even more chilling piece of news: "The King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter is none other than Tang Chen of the Haotian Sect! That City of Slaughter is the place where the Asura God's position is inherited! He has completed the eighth trial of the Asura God and is now a demigod! Tang Chen, who wields a divine weapon, has the same Slaughter Domain as the City of Slaughter. Those without the Slaughter God Domain cannot use soul skills!"

At this moment, all six of the Grand Masters below him have perished in battle! My grandfather and I were no match for him!

If it were daytime, the grand offering under the sunlight might have been able to hold off Tang Chen, but alas!

"Why would Tang Chen kill you all!" Bibi Dong's expression was extremely terrified. She had heard about Qian Shui's current strength, and that he, along with Qian Daoliu and the other six elders, were no match for him.

"It was my fault, it was my fault... Ah, my true form is dead..." Qian Shui's body, nestled in Bibi Dong's arms, suddenly began to dissipate. "Teacher, you must blame me... It's all my fault for crippling Tang San and Tang Hao... I never imagined they were descendants of Tang Chen..."

Bibi Dong shook her head in pain, unable to believe that Qian Shui, who had been flirting with Qian Renxue in front of her just a moment ago, was really going to die.

"Teacher, I know you despise Xiaoxue's background..." Qianshui's breath grew weaker but she still called out in a hoarse voice, "She...she is still your daughter...and Qingyu...you must...save her..."

The Qian Shui in her arms turned into specks of energy and dissipated. Bibi Dong reached out to grab it, but couldn't grasp anything.

Sadness and despair were stuck in her throat; she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a sound.

What did Qian Shui say before she died? Was this calamity because she crippled Tang San and Tang Hao? She knew who Tang Hao was, but who was Tang San?

He frantically flipped through the information Yue Guan had given him about Yu Xiaogang, and then, as if realizing something, the words stuck in his throat, causing him unbearable pain, finally burst out, "Ah!!"

Bibi Dong went completely mad. She unfurled her six purple wings and charged toward the southwest horizon like a madwoman.

"Summon all members of the Spirit Hall and launch a full-scale attack to annihilate the Clear Sky Sect!"

Bibi Dong left in a flash, leaving behind only this one sentence, which shook the heavens and the earth and resounded throughout the entire Wuhun City.

"Uh...aren't you going a bit too far?"

The trembling Yue Guan turned around and saw Qian Shui, who had turned into stardust, reappear in front of the Papal Palace. Her face was illuminated by the lights coming from the foot of Wuhun Mountain, and she looked towards the southwest with a deep smile.

"This is not excessive at all. This is a disciple's care for his teacher; I am trying to save her!"

"Isn't this going too far? One of the Yu family's idiots died, and then you died. Not only did she suffer a double blow at the same time, but you also told her that her daughter and grandson were also on the verge of death."

The crux of the matter is that the trigger for all this was you crippling Tang Hao and Tang San? One was the one who murdered the former Pope, and the other was the one who killed that idiot from the Yu family. You could even consider doing this as acting as her teacher.

But ultimately, the one who started this whole mess is Her Holiness the Pope herself. If she hadn't sown that seed back then, how could she have reaped what she has today?

In this way, all the tragedies that happened, whether it was the death of the Yu family's idiot, your death, or the impending death of your daughter and grandson, were ultimately caused by her own actions.

"Sigh, so many blows, who could bear it?!"

As Yue Guan recounted the events, he increasingly felt how terrifying Qian Shui was, starting with the Soul Guidance Device, no, even long before that.

From the moment he appeared, to Qian Renxue's pregnancy, marriage, and childbirth, and from the moment she refused to return to Wuhun City, Qian Shui began to scheme!

The farce in the Elite Tournament finals was just one part of the story. The most important thing was to use this opportunity to let Bibi Dong embrace Qian Qingyu. They might not have even gone to the Elders' Hall first.

A grand event turned into a farce, with Bibi Dong even participating in the performance herself. After such a major event, it was a time for relaxation, and Qian Shui chose this moment to act, completely breaking down Bibi Dong's psychological defenses and causing her to lose her mind completely!

Upon closer reflection, this seemingly cynical and lazy young man is nothing short of a devil who manipulates people's hearts!

"What are you looking at, Uncle Ju?" Seeing Yue Guan staring at her, Qian Shui was also puzzled.

Yue Guan hurriedly waved his hand, but his signature effeminate voice came out again, "No, no! But, are we really going to attack the Clear Sky Sect? Why didn't His Holiness the Pope summon all the Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall to help?"

Speaking of this, Qian Shui was somewhat embarrassed, as it was the biggest variable in his plan. If Bibi Dong really did summon all the high-end combat power of the Spirit Hall to participate in the battle, as Yue Guan said, then things would be difficult.

The plan was secretive and involved privacy. There were already enough people involved in the performance besides the six other disciples of Qian Daoliu; adding more risked premature leaks. What if a few more came? To ensure authenticity, could he really kill a few?

"Don't be silly. Seventh Elder, I and the teacher are not here. The highest combat power in the Spirit Hall is only you and Uncle Ghost, and you are only level 95."

"Only..." This was the first time Yue Guan, a level 95 Super Douluo, had been disliked.

"Tang Xiao is level 96. There's another piece of news you might not know: all six elders of the Haotian Sect have broken through to the Title Douluo level. In addition, the so-called Upper Three Sects are all in cahoots. If Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen go to help, you should prepare to be wiped out in the Haotian Sect."

Changing the subject, regarding why Bibi Dong didn't take anyone else with her, Qian Shui only guessed, "As for why she didn't take you with her, my guess is that even if Teacher went herself, she would just be going to her death. Sending you to attack Haotian Sect is out of revenge."

Qian Shui's analysis made sense, and Yue Guan understood everything after he explained it. "So what should we do now?"

"Reassure all the Soul Masters under the Spirit Hall that they should go to sleep or cultivate as if nothing happened."

"Yes!" Yue Guan bowed solemnly and then went to relay the order.

The clone of Qian Shui, who remained in place, was even more confused. He had no idea what was going on at Chrysanthemum Pass. Had he become handsome again? As he thought this, the clone's disheveled long hair automatically returned to its place, and he disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

……

"Qian Shui, didn't you want to spar first to make the battle more realistic? How do you suggest we fight?" Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location and seeing Qian Shui in person, the impatient Guang Ling Douluo hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, easy!" Qian Shui pulled a blood-red patterned greatsword from a nearby haystack. "Let's fight without using soul skills!"

At this moment, Qian Shui, wielding the Asura Demon Sword, no longer suppressed the murderous aura in his heart. The seemingly lazy young man in front of everyone suddenly became extremely dangerous.

The chilling Killing God Domain automatically unfolded and swept across the heavens and earth. The Asura Demon Sword left behind by Tang Chen was formed from the Asura power he had accumulated over many years. It seemed that he had poured almost all his energy into it before his death, and it had reached the level of a divine artifact.

With the Trident of Poseidon as a comparison, Qian Shui was certain that this sword had reached the same level as the Trident of Poseidon. This Asura Demon Sword represented the first eight trials that Tang Chen had completed. As long as he accepted this Asura Demon Sword, he could then inherit the Asura Godhood from the Poseidon God Trial.

However, Qian Shui didn't want either side; he only wanted to borrow the power of the Asura. This is why, even though he knew that the Killing God Domain could evolve, he didn't further refine it.

Qian Renxue, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "Xiao Shui, is this still just an ordinary Killing God Domain?"

"Yes."

"But how can I fool her like this?"

"I told her about the Killing Domain beforehand, and given her state of mind, she simply couldn't control herself from activating the Killing God Domain. In her grief and rage, she completely lost her reason and wouldn't notice." Qian Shui, whose eyes had turned blood red, spoke extremely coldly, completely devoid of her usual amiable and lazy tone.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu was also unusually serious, but his expression was somewhat forlorn. He had only recently learned of Tang Chen's death.

When Qian Shui and Qian Renxue returned from the far north after their wedding, Qian Shui discussed this matter with Qian Daoliu. The plan was daring; if successful, the Spirit Hall would be united once more, and internal strife would cease. They wouldn't need to do what he did—merely restraining Bibi Dong and protecting Qian Renxue until the Divine Trial, which would then allow Qian Renxue to restrain her own mother.

So Qian Daoliu agreed, but this involved his old friend Tang Chen.

"Xiaoxue, I've never mentioned your mother's matter before, but since Qianshui has already guessed it, then you know as well. She wasn't wrong about what happened back then; she treated you badly because of your father."

"It was because of your existence that I didn't kill her. Your father didn't die at the hands of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao; Tang Hao only severely injured him. The one who truly killed your father was your mother, Bibi Dong."

"Grandpa, I do know." Qian Renxue remained calm, holding her sleeping son, and was unmoved by Qian Shui beside her.

The six elders were utterly astonished, but Qian Daoliu turned to them and said, “The reason I’m revealing this matter is that once it’s over, this conflict will no longer exist. You should not make any unfounded speculations or criticisms.”

"yes, Sir!"

Then Qian Daoliu sighed again and said to Qian Renxue, "Everything that happened has already happened. I know the whole story. Bibi Dong is a genius, but your father's methods to keep her were indeed a bit underhanded. Back then, you lost your father, so naturally I won't let you lose your mother as well."

She was currently enduring hardship, for she had already passed the divine test of the Rakshasa God. If there was anyone on the Douluo Continent besides you and Qian Shui who had the potential to become a god, it was him. However, her true nature had been devoured by evil, and she had become the Rakshasa God, a true embodiment of wickedness.

Judging from the Heavenly Battle Plan back then, she loved you, but she couldn't accept you. So when Qian Shui proposed this plan, I agreed.

Looking westward, towards Poseidon Island, Qian Daoliu felt a pang of melancholy. "What a pity! Tang Chen! I never imagined you would die in her arms. In the end, I lost to you!"

But in the end, you've fallen into my grandson-in-law's hands, and even this divine artifact for the inheritance of the divine position will be used by us!

As Qian Daoliu's expression froze, he turned to look at Qian Shui, who was holding the Asura Demon Sword, and said, "Qian Shui, let's begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely pure killing intent surged again with the full recovery of Qian Shui's level 99 cultivation. His eyes lit up, turning into a pure, incomparably deep black. His face resembled that of a middle-aged man, but he had become much more handsome, and his overall temperament seemed to have gained a sense of righteousness. His black hair moved without wind, and he stood there, as solemn and dignified as a mountain.

"okay!"

With a gentle smile, Qian Daoliu finally saw his old friend from many years ago again, Tang Chen, the peerless Douluo who was invincible on the ground and transformed from Qian Shui, reappeared in the world.
