At this moment, the Golden Lion King strode step by step toward the slumped Qian Gu Zhang Ting in the corner.

His golden pupils held an undisguised murderous intent.

This person once used all sorts of cruel methods to force it to submit.

Now, it's time to pay the price.

"You...you stay away!"

Qian Gu Zhangting struggled to get up, but the excruciating pain in his chest rendered him immobile, and the fear of death enveloped him for the first time in a truly real way.

"I am the sole heir of the ancient family! If you dare kill me, my grandfather will skin you alive!"

The lion-mastiff grinned menacingly and raised its sharp claws.

Do not!

Despair filled Qian Gu Zhang Ting's eyes.

He hasn't inherited the Spirit Pagoda yet, hasn't stood at the pinnacle of the continent, how could he die here?!

Just as the claw was about to strike—

"stop!!!"

A loud shout exploded like a thunderclap!

A terrifying shockwave suddenly appeared, and the Golden Lion King was blasted away, tumbling several times in the air before barely managing to regain its footing.

A figure had appeared at the entrance of the testing room at some point.

He was an elderly man with white hair and beard, and a dignified face.

Just by standing there, the aura emanating from him made the air in the entire room thick and heavy—the kind of imposing presence only a true powerhouse at the pinnacle of the continent possesses.

The East Wind Through the Ages.

The current master of the Spirit Pagoda, a level 98 Super Douluo, and the head of the Qian Gu Clan.

"Who dares to hurt my grandson?!" His voice was deep, yet carried a chilling power.

"Grandpa!" Qian Gu Zhangting cried out as if grasping at a straw, scrambling over to him. "It was them! They tried to kill me! Grandpa, you must do me justice!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng's gaze swept over the three people in Luoyang like a cold blade.

Leng Yaozhu and Xue Ba stepped forward simultaneously, blocking Luo Yang and releasing their soul power to resist the terrifying pressure.

"Master of the Ancient Tower, you need to understand the whole story first," Leng Yaozhu said coldly. "It was your grandson who struck first, threatening to kill someone."

"So what?" Qian Gu Dongfeng said expressionlessly. "Is my grandson's life something these outsiders can't compare to?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Zhang Ting revealed a smug sneer.

With Grandpa backing us up, let's see how arrogant you can be now! That silver-haired woman and that damned little bastard must die!

But his smile froze the next second.

Because Blood Eight has opened its mouth.

"The East Wind Through the Ages".

Her voice was calm.

"If Luoyang loses even a single hair here today, the Blood God Legion will settle a score with the Spirit Pagoda."

The Blood God Legion?!

Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression suddenly changed.

Qian Gu Zhangting, who had never heard of the Blood God Legion, scoffed after a brief moment of stunned silence: "The Blood God Legion? What kind of wretched force is that? Even the Federation's Grand Speaker wouldn't stand a chance against our Spirit Pagoda—"

"Snapped!"

A crisp, resounding slap interrupted him.

Qian Gu Zhangting covered his face, looking at his grandfather in disbelief.

His grandfather never hit him from childhood to adulthood!

"You insolent brat!" Qian Gu Dongfeng roared, "These past years have spoiled you rotten! You dare to say anything out loud?!"

He really wanted to slap that stupid grandson a few more times right now!

It's one thing to be arrogant and domineering normally, but to be so ignorant and fearless on such a fundamental issue involving power!

Qian Gu Zhangting was dumbfounded.

Didn't you tell me these things?

The Qian Gu family is the most powerful force on the continent; even the Federation has to defer to them…

"I apologize." Qian Gu Dongfeng turned to Luo Yang and Xue Ba, his anger instantly subsiding, and solemnly said, "It is my fault for failing to discipline them properly. On behalf of the Spirit Pagoda, I extend my highest respect to the members of the Blood God Legion."

He was able to maintain his position as the master of the Spirit Pagoda because he was domineering and protective of his own, but he was never confused when it came to matters of principle.

The Blood God Legion is the front line of resistance against the Abyss Plane. Without them, not only would the entire Spirit Pagoda suffer disaster, but the entire continent would also perish.

Leng Yaozhu remained expressionless.

Xue Ba sneered but remained silent.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in Luoyang.

This plot is somewhat similar to the novel "Sword Comes" that I watched in my previous life. The Blood God Legion is equivalent to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and he seems to have become Ning Yao.

Qian Gu Dong Feng Jian Xue Ba's expression remained unfriendly. He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that without drawing blood today, things would likely not end well.

"Since this is a conflict between juniors, I think we should leave it at that."

Qian Gu Dongfeng abruptly changed the subject, taking out a silver bracelet from his pocket.

"This is a storage soul tool with an internal space of one thousand cubic meters. It was originally a gift I prepared for Zhang Ting, but now I'm giving it to this young friend as an apology."

"Grandpa!" Qian Gu Zhangting cried out anxiously, "How could you give away the 'Empty Silver Bracelet'—"

"Shut up!" Qian Gu Dong Feng glared at him and then pushed the bracelet forward.

Luo Yang didn't take it, but only glanced at the exquisitely crafted bracelet and said indifferently, "I don't like second-hand goods."

This kid... he really knows how to say something that's really offensive!

The Eternal East Wind: "..."

Leng Yaozhu's lips twitched slightly.

Xue Ba almost burst out laughing.

The silence lasted for a few seconds.

Qian Gu Dongfeng took a deep breath, suppressing the pent-up frustration in his heart.

He knew that if he didn't come up with something truly captivating today, he wouldn't be able to turn the page.

When she reached out again, there was something in her palm.

It was a pendant.

The main body of the pendant is a gemstone about the size of a thumbnail, displaying the deepest turquoise green color.

The gemstone is not cut; rather, it is like a naturally formed crystal of life. Just by being exposed to the air, an indescribable life force quietly spreads out, making even the surrounding air seem much fresher.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell on the pendant, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly.

Xue Ba's eyes narrowed slightly. She could sense the pure and vast life energy contained within the gem.

"Child," Qian Gu Dongfeng said with a hint of heartache, "this item was obtained through a fortuitous encounter many years ago, and it is called... the Gold of Life."

Gold of life!

Luo Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.

"This item is extremely rare and contains a vast yet gentle life force. Wearing it for a long time can nourish the body, strengthen one's foundation, and even nourish the spirit."

Qian Gu Dong Feng explained, his tone tinged with reluctance.

"It is of no use to me now. Please accept it, young friend, as an apology from the Spirit Pagoda."

This time, Leng Yaozhu spoke first: "Since it is the sincerity of the Ancient Tower Master, Luoyang, you should accept it."

Luo Yang then accepted the pendant.

The moment he touched it, a warm and vibrant energy flowed into his body through his palm, invigorating him.

"Then... thank you very much for your generous gift, Tower Master Qian Gu." Luo Yang revealed an innocent smile: "I didn't expect to be so lucky today. The young Tower Master Qian Gu gave me a golden-haired lion-dog soul, and the Tower Master Qian Gu also gave me a piece of Living Gold. It's truly a double blessing."

"puff……"

Xue Ba couldn't help but almost burst out laughing, and quickly coughed lightly to cover it up.

Leng Yaozhu's lips also curved upwards almost imperceptibly.

Qian Gu Dongfeng felt a throbbing vein on his forehead, as if he were choking on his own blood.

This kid, he definitely did it on purpose! He's killing him by breaking his spirit!

But he still had to force a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Oh, no, no... as long as you're happy, child."

He didn't want to stay here a moment longer; if he stayed any longer, he was afraid he would get internal injuries from anger.

"Lord of the Heavenly Phoenix Tower, please give the Blood God Legion a proper welcome. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he picked up the still bewildered Qian Gu Zhangting and turned to leave.
