The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 370 A Debt That Can Never Be Repaid

Li Xun stood high in the sky, quietly looking down at the city below.

I discovered that this place seems to be different from my past memories.

The city diagonally below, one of the continent's most prosperous cities, is now completely unrecognizable from its former glory.

The original 60-meter-high granite wall, consisting of six diamond-shaped sections, has collapsed on four sides.

Those once magnificent buildings have lost their splendor overnight, and ruins are everywhere.

With the naked eye alone, one can see the densely packed soul beasts in the city.

Perhaps because it's right next to the Star Dou Great Forest, this place has completely become a place for soul beasts to bathe in sunlight.

Li Xun did not rush down, but instead focused his mental energy on his left eye.

With a flash of blue light in his pupils, every detail of the entire Spirit City came into his view.

"Just like Grandpa Jian said, there's only one Xiong Jun here."

Li Xun formed a hand seal, and a wooden clone slowly split off from his body.

"Should I lead Mr. Xiong away a bit?"

The clone stretched its body, clapped its hands, and used a transformation technique to transform into Bibi Dong's appearance.

"It doesn't need to be too far. As long as Xiong Jun isn't stupid, it will know that this is a diversionary tactic once you disappear," Li Xun shook his head.

"Alright." The clone smiled and swooped down towards Wuhun City.

Instead of going to the entrance of the Papal Palace, they arrived in Wuhun City in a few flashes.

At this time, the city was filled with soul beasts. Although some soul beasts had poor eyesight, their hearing and sense of smell were extremely keen.

The moment the clone appeared, it attracted the attention of the soul beasts, who all turned their heads as if some signal had been triggered.

Seeing this, the clone did not linger and rushed towards the Papal Palace.

roar-

With a series of roars, countless soul beasts emerged from the streets and alleys, chasing after the clone with fierce eyes.

The clones were extremely fast, and in just a few flashes, they left many soul beasts behind.

Arriving at the city wall outside the Papal Palace: "You know how to enjoy yourself."

By this time, Xiong Jun had heard the noise and woken up, but he had not yet gotten up.

With her round belly exposed, she looked up at Bibi Dong standing on the city wall: "It's you?"

The bear was clearly stunned; it hadn't expected that the human woman would dare to show up here again.

However, this state vanished in an instant with a surge of anger: "Damn humans!"

Xiong Jun quickly stood up, and his 15-meter-tall frame, under the influence of anger, revealed an agility that was inconsistent with his stature.

But by this time, Bibi Dong had already turned and left, leaving Xiong Jun with only her graceful back view.

Xiong Jun roared, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

The wall outside the Papal Palace was smashed like a block of tofu by him, and he chased after Bibi Dong in the direction she disappeared.

At the same time, he roared continuously, summoning the soul beasts in the city to block his way.

"Big Bear is still easier to deal with."

Seeing Xiong Jun leave, Li Xun slowly descended from the sky and arrived directly in front of the Hall of Offerings.

This place is now dilapidated.

The entire shrine collapsed, but perhaps due to divine protection, the statues, though buried under some debris, were not greatly damaged.

Walking behind the angel statue, and following Sword Douluo's description, I pressed down a wall tile engraved with an image of an angel.

Accompanied by the sound of stone slabs scraping against the ground, a downward-sloping staircase appeared before Li Xun's eyes.

Without hesitation, I continued downhill, and the thick stone slabs above slowly closed in.

This downward transition is very long and feels claustrophobic.

As a result, Li Xun didn't know whether he had walked down dozens or hundreds of meters.

Until a portal gleaming with blinding light appeared before them.

Stepping into the light, Li Xun's eyes lit up, and the discomfort he had felt from the dimly lit passageway immediately dissipated.

A vast, empty underground world appeared before him, like a murderous city buried underground.

But unlike the dark and oppressive atmosphere of the Killing City, this place is filled with soft light and magnificent architecture.

Perhaps it's because I've been lonely for too long.

Qian Renxue, who was sitting at the foot of a huge angel statue, raised her head alertly when she heard the noise.

The moment she saw Li Xun, her eyes lit up, filled with disbelief: "...Is it really you?"

"It's me," Li Xun said softly.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue helped the statue to her feet, her eyes unconsciously becoming misty with tears.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Li Xun slowly walked up to Qian Renxue: "It's been four months, how come you've lost weight?"

"There are too many soul beasts outside, I can't go out to replenish supplies." Qian Renxue said shyly, wiping away the tears on her cheeks.

"Looks like I arrived just in time. If I had been any later, I might have found a emaciated corpse."

Li Xun smiled, took a towel from his soul tool, and handed it over.

He then took out some pastries and snacks: "Eat something first to regain your strength."

Qian Renxue chuckled, took the towel and wiped her face properly: "Why would I wait until I starve to death? If you hadn't come, I would have tried to break out in the next couple of days."

Thinking of the hordes of soul beasts outside and the bear king at the entrance of the Papal Palace, Li Xun smiled:

"Luckily you didn't rush out, otherwise I probably wouldn't have even seen the dried corpse."

"So, you're saying I'd die either way if you didn't come?"

Qian Renxue put away the towel, glared at Li Xun, and knelt down on the ground to open the pastry box.

I took out my favorite flavor and started eating it in small bites.

"Of course, you have no idea what it was like when I came in."

Li Xun also sat down on the ground, took out a sealed bottle of juice from his soul tool, and poured a glass for Qian Renxue:

"You owe me another life this time. People should remember to be grateful."

"Didn't you say I owe you a lot? Well, one more time won't make a difference, I can't pay you back anyway."

Qian Renxue seemed to feel no guilt whatsoever about owing anyone a favor, and naturally accepted the juice, drinking it all in one gulp.

"No? I was just being polite, you actually took it seriously?" Li Xun was surprised.

"Don't you always keep your word? What's wrong with me doing it?"

Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, as if all the worries and torments of the past few days had vanished in this moment.

"No, I have to charge some interest first, so you don't owe more and more and then default on your debt."

Li Xun, unable to tolerate such arrogance, slapped Qian Renxue on the forehead.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Interest? What do you want?"

Qian Renxue winced in pain, rubbing her forehead with the back of her hand holding the pastry, a sly glint in her eyes:

"Isn't the Heaven Dou Empire currently controlled by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Spirit City is right up there. Take whatever you want, and see if there's anything else valuable you want, take that too."

"Fine, fine, so you're just going to cheat, huh?" Li Xun sighed.

"However, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't repay favors."

Qian Renxue drawled, "It's just that I really don't have the ability to repay right now. Once I do, I'll definitely repay you double."

"You're getting all worked up over me. With your current skinny frame, don't try to make empty promises to me."

Li Xun shook his head and tapped Qian Renxue's forehead with his index finger: "Eat more, get fatter, pork isn't cheap these days."

"."

Qian Renxue was taken aback, her cheeks instantly turning red. After a long while, she whispered, "I am the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and you are still my subject. This is insubordination."

"Insubordination?"

"I forgot to tell you, in less than four months since I left, I've already unified another continent."

Li Xun collapsed to the ground, lying on his side with his chin up, looking at Qian Renxue:

"Keep me in check. If I ever get upset, I'll just send troops to annex the Heavenly Dou Empire and capture you, this so-called emperor."

"You really found another continent? And you even unified it?" Qian Renxue asked, somewhat curious and skeptical.

"I'll take you there to see it sometime. Actually, the Sun Moon Continent is larger than the Douluo Continent, but its soul beast resources are not as abundant."

Qian Renxue quickly finished the pastry in her hand: "Tell me about it."

Seeing Qian Renxue's thirst for knowledge, Li Xun immediately told her about the events that had occurred in the past four months.

"You said you absorbed another 700,000-year-old spirit ring!"

After hearing so much, Qian Renxue's mind was filled with nothing but the Evil Emperor, and her eyes showed disbelief.

She thought she had made great progress in the past four months, but she didn't expect that Li Xun's trip would make her improve even faster.

"It's genuine, no doubt about it. Would you like me to show it to you? But there will be a small fee." Li Xun grinned mischievously.

"."

Seeing Li Xun's smug look, Qian Renxue was both amused and exasperated: "I don't want to see it."

"Fine, don't bother looking. I'm telling you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Seeing that Qian Renxue had finished eating, Li Xun got up, packed up the food, and held out his hand to her: "Let's go, I'll take you back to Tiandou City."

Qian Renxue subconsciously reached out her hand, but paused just before touching the large hand.

He took it back: "Just leave me some supplies, I don't want to go back yet."

She had thought that through nearly four months of training, she could catch up with Li Xun, but reality told her that her efforts were not enough.

Her current soul power is level 89. If she passes the six trials of the angels, it will be another huge boost.

"Go back and rest for two days to relax your tense mind, and then come back. It's the same thing."

Without waiting for a reply, Li Xun grabbed Qian Renxue's small hand: "I happen to have some things to take care of next, so I'll bring you over then."

"it is good"

Feeling the warmth of the large hand on the back of her hand, Qian Renxue stiffened and nodded mechanically.

Then I felt the scenery in front of me change.

The two had already appeared at the gate of the Heaven Dou Empire's palace.

"Is this... spatial ability?"

"Go take a bath and rest for the night. I'll take you back in a few days."

Li Xun nodded, and Chong Qianrenxue waved before disappearing from the spot.

Only Qian Renxue remained standing there, staring at the empty space where Li Xun had disappeared.

Wuhun City.

Bear Jun was seething with anger as he walked down the relatively wide street, which was still quite spacious for humans.

"Damn humans."

The mere thought of that human woman named Bibi Dong filled it with a destructive urge.

It lashed out with its claws in a fit of rage, destroying a large area of ​​houses.

With heavy steps, Xiong Jun walked to the front of the Papal Palace and sat down.

It believes that no human would dare to return here unless they find what the other party wants.

Since that's the case, it will stay here and see if she dares to come back.
