Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 73 The Tomb of Qian Renxue, A Strange Fate

For some reason, hearing these two words from Bibi Dong's mouth left Shu Yan with a lingering sense of unease. Almost subconsciously, he felt that these two words described him perfectly.

It was a natural feeling, and Shu Yan didn't know how to describe it, but that was his intuition.

However, Bibi Dong lost interest in continuing the conversation after that. She casually gave Shu Yan a few perfunctory replies and then urged him to take Qian Renxue's coffin into the world of the dead.

Shu Yan left helplessly, and after opening the spatial portal, he went straight back to the Jialing Pass ruins.

Sensing the disturbance, Xue Di led the two of them quickly toward this place. They both noticed the listless aura emanating from Shu Yan, and their expressions immediately turned somewhat gloomy.

Xue Di grabbed Shu Yan's arm, and an irresistible surge of spiritual energy entered Shu Yan's body. Shu Yan looked helpless, but he didn't refuse Xue Di's probing. He allowed her spiritual energy to thoroughly examine him before half-jokingly saying:

"Don't worry about me. With the Life Gold inside me, even if I'm just a head, the Life Gold can restore me to my original form. This time it's just that Elder Yi's power was too strong, and my body was a bit overloaded. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Xue Di slowly released Shu Yan's arm, her complexion improving considerably, but she still couldn't help but whisper:

"Be more careful in the future. Don't forget that you're only a Soul King now. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."

The Snow Empress's beautiful face held a hint of reproach, while the Ice Empress beside her rolled her eyes at Shu Yan and said:

"Playing such high-stakes games every day, be careful you don't run out of games to play with one day..."

Xu Jiujiu nodded in agreement, and then said:

"Ayan, I'm so worried about you..."

With the two Ice and Snow Emperors present, Shu Yan simply rubbed his head for a long time before saying:

"Alright, we still have Elder Yi, don't worry about me. We have more important things to do now."

As he spoke, Shu Yan walked towards the back of Bibi Dong's tomb, where the four of them found another large tomb.

Looking at the almost rampant weeds and moss above, Shu Yan sighed and said with some emotion:

"The angels who were once high above, as radiant and beautiful as fairies, have now left their graves unattended after their deaths. Alas, it is truly lamentable..."

The three women, Xue Di and Xue Di, changed their expressions slightly, but then they understood what Shu Yan meant.

...

A quarter of an hour later, as Qian Renxue's grave was dug up, a magnificent crystal coffin with flowing gold and white colors came into view. Surprisingly, this coffin had the effect of blocking spiritual power detection. Even Xue Di's spiritual power, which was as strong as a Limit Douluo, could not penetrate the golden clouds above the coffin, nor could it know the true scene inside the coffin.

After exchanging glances, the group decided not to investigate further.

After all, this coffin contains the remains of a once powerful deity. Even though ten thousand years have passed, it is not something that mortals can comprehend. There is an insurmountable chasm between gods and humans, a fact that cannot be changed under normal circumstances.

Shu Yan didn't say anything more. He opened the spatial portal, and Xue Di circulated her soul power, quickly sending the giant coffin inside. At the same time, Shu Yan's spiritual sea also received a response from Bibi Dong.

"That's good. You don't need to worry about anything else. Leave now. Also, I must remind you, there are other people coming from outside Jialing Pass..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong's voice slowly faded away...

Shu Yan looked at the huge pit in front of him and finally had no choice but to restore it to its original state. As for the so-called angelic divine armor and even the divine artifact Angelic Holy Sword, he did not detect a trace of its aura from beginning to end.

After everything was settled, before Shu Yan could even catch his breath, Xue Di immediately spoke up:

"Someone has arrived outside. Some of them have a familiar aura; they seem to be the same group we encountered in the Heavenly Soul Empire last time."

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Shu Yan's expression was somewhat strange, as if he hadn't expected to encounter someone from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School here by such a coincidence.

"Among the newcomers are two Title Douluos. One of them has the same aura as the fire-attribute Title Douluo we encountered last time. If there are no surprises, it's them."

Hyotei's expression was also a bit strange. If she remembered correctly, last time she almost used her hands to beat the other party as her first punching bag after coming to the human world, but she was stopped by Yuki-tei and Shu-yan. Now that they met again, it could be considered a preordained fate.

While the four were talking, on the ancient road outside the Jialing Pass ruins, in a group of more than ten people, an old man with red hair and wearing a red robe inexplicably shivered. A piercing chill spread from his bones. The old man's strange appearance quickly attracted the attention of the others in the group. Wu Feng, who was walking beside him, curled his lip and then said:

"Grandpa, are you too old to walk? You seem a bit strange."

Ning Tian, ​​who was a couple of steps ahead of the two, turned around upon hearing the sound. Noticing that Elder Wu's expression seemed a bit off, she frowned slightly and then said:

"Elder Wu, is there something you need?"

Elder Wu quickly regained his senses. He first glared fiercely at Wu Feng, then looked at Ning Tian, ​​who was walking at the front, and the elegant and graceful woman beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:

"Young Master, I don't know why, but just now for a moment I felt as if I was being watched by some terrifying being. The feeling was somewhat similar to the pressure from the two powerful figures we encountered during our last Soul Hunt..."

Ning Tian frowned and said in a low voice:

"Have your entourage remain vigilant. Also, please keep a close eye on things, and if anything unexpected happens, immediately summon the powerful figures waiting at Jialing Pass for support."

"Yes, Miss, rest assured, I understand."

Elder Wu nodded and agreed in a deep voice.

Ning Tian turned around, lost in thought. The beautiful woman walking beside him sighed softly. She glanced at Ning Tian's furrowed brows, then gently smoothed them away, and whispered:

"Xiao Tian, ​​don't put so much pressure on yourself. You're still young, and Mom doesn't want your childhood to be all about sect affairs. You should have your own interests. Mom and the elders are still relatively young, so you don't need to worry about these things too much in the short term. These are things that we elders need to pay attention to."

Ning Tian looked at the care and love in his mother's eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke:

"Mom, I know the道理 (principles/reasoning), but sometimes fate is predetermined. Didn't you go through the same thing when you were young? For the sake of the sect's inheritance and prosperity, this is nothing..."
