hapter 160: The Turtle Shell Artifact, the Heritage of the Qiangu Family.
"Hello! Hello!"
"Qiangu Tower Master, are you listening?!"
Qiangu Dongfeng remained silent, listening to the voice coming from the communication soul guide.
He hadn't expected Leng Yaozhu to have arranged all this long ago, or perhaps after returning from Shrek Academy, Leng Yaozhu had realized his intention to drive a wedge between her and Muye, and so arranged all this.
And he had indirectly facilitated all this, and remained in the dark.
"Beep!" Qiangu Dongfeng hung up the communication soul guide, took a deep breath, and leaned back in the chair.
The next moment, the solemnity on Qiangu Dongfeng's face melted into a smile. "As expected, she's the woman this Tower Master has set his sights on. She's truly brave and resourceful, just like me."
"Once Shrek Academy and Yunming are destroyed in the future, I believe there will be a place in your heart. Then, you and the Leng family will belong to this Tower Master."
Qiangu Dongfeng chuckled softly as he thought.
He believed that day wasn't far off.
"By the way, Leng Yaozhu's disciple isn't bad either. Perhaps I should ask Zhang Ting to let him get to know her. After all, they're a perfect match, hahaha..."
In the large office, Qiangu Dongfeng enjoyed the future, laughter echoing.
As for Jiang Xiu beside Na'er, he paid no attention. In his opinion, those who belonged to the Spirit Pagoda belonged to it.
...
In an elegant, quaint room on the upper floor of the Spirit Transmission Tower.
The last remaining rays of light from the setting sun shone crookedly into the room. Cold, awe-inspiring weapons hung on the walls, a still and icy silence.
Before the floor-to-ceiling window, an elderly man in a gray robe sat in a wheelchair. He betrayed no trace of presence, yet an invincible aura of dominance enveloped him, seemingly merging with the entire space.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, a powerful, invincible aura filling them, but it quickly faded, and all returned to calm.
"Why was I so uneasy just now?" the old man murmured, his tone cautious.
And he was the greatest asset of the Qiangu Family—Qiangu Dieting.
A Limit Douluo Quasi-God-level powerhouse, a Four-Character Battle Armor Master!
"Could it be that the Qiangu Family is in danger?" Qiangu Dieting's brows furrowed slightly. At his level, any danger would be forewarned.
Qiangu Dieting then shook his head again. "I guess I'm overthinking it."
The Qiangu Family was now thriving under Qiangu Dongfeng's leadership, its future bright. How could danger possibly arise?
"Buzz!" A faint tremor rang out in the air, and a mystical, golden tortoise shell appeared within Qiangu Dieting's powerful palm. Mysterious lines covered this shell, and it even undulated, as if breathing with life.
"Would you like to predict the future?" Qiangu Dieting stroked the tortoise shell with his palm, his gaze deep.
This tortoise shell was no ordinary tortoise shell; it was a divine artifact passed down through the Qiangu family. While it possessed no offensive power, it possessed an extremely powerful ability: the ability to predict the future.
The Qiangu family's current prosperity was inextricably linked to this artifact.
After a moment's deliberation, Qiangu Dieting slowly put the tortoise shell away and sighed softly, "I'd rather keep the remaining life of this old man to protect the family, or wait until my death is near to venture into the Abyssal Plane."
While this tortoise shell possessed powerful abilities, its use came at a heavy price.
It consumed the user's lifespan to predict the future, and this deduction wasn't just vitality, but actual lifespan, deducting from the user's maximum health points, a level that could not be replenished unless the user reached a higher level of cultivation.
Furthermore, this artifact could only be wielded by those at the level of Extreme Douluo.
"Dongfeng, I believe you will lead our family to glory,"
Qiangu Dieting whispered, then slowly closed his eyes again.
Although a bad premonition had just flashed through his mind...
...
outside the Spirit Transmission Tower.
"Thank you, Tower Master Leng, for this. Otherwise, Xiaoxiu wouldn't have been able to obtain such a top-tier soul as his second soul." Muye bowed to Leng Yaozhu in thanks.
"Don't be polite, it's just a matter of sharing what you have." Leng Yaozhu chuckled, waving her jade hand, hinting, "Besides, wouldn't the Qiangu Pagoda Master be willing too?
" "Hahaha, he has to be willing," Muye laughed heartily. Thinking of Qiangu Dongfeng's expression when he learned all this, he felt like laughing.
Qiangu Dongfeng, this is what it means to steal a chicken and end up losing the rice.
Leng Yaozhu's red lips curled up into a cold and charming smile, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a brilliant glint.
Retrieving a soul of this level would be practically impossible for an outsider. Even she could only mobilize it, hence the need for Qiangu Dongfeng's help.
"Leave this soul with me for now. I have comprehensive facilities here. When Xiaoxiu breaks through to the Soul Sect, Sect Master Mu, you can bring it here," Leng Yaozhu said softly.
"No problem," Muye waved. He naturally trusted Leng Yaozhu. After all, the retrieval of this soul was Leng Yaozhu's credit.
"I'll tell Xiao Xiu the news tonight. I'm sure he'll be very happy to hear it." "
However, I'll soon attempt to construct a second soul core, so the Body Sect needs you, Tower Master Leng, to look after me." Muye said solemnly.
He still had some residual power from the immortal herbs within him, so he had to seize this opportunity to break through to the Limit Realm as quickly as possible.
As for his Limit Challenge with Yun Ming, he wasn't worried. After breaking through to the Limit Douluo Realm, coupled with the second awakening of his Gold-level Body Martial Soul and his Impervious Golden Body, he wasn't necessarily going to lose.
"Yeah, okay." Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly.
Muye then returned to the Benti Sect, while Leng Yaozhu returned to the Spirit Pagoda, preparing to retrieve the scorpion tiger spirit whose bloodline had returned to its ancestral lineage, to avoid any further trouble.
...
Night.
Under the shimmering stars, wisps of silver light scattered from the sky, like a blanket of white snow covering the ground, a dreamlike scene.
A luxurious soul-guided car pulled up in front of the Benti Sect.
"Boss, do you want me to take you to school tomorrow?" Na'er asked cheerfully from the driver's seat.
Judging by her satisfied face and slightly swollen belly, she had clearly feasted tonight.
"Alright, let's go home now. Eat less seafood from now on," Jiang Xiu said softly, closing the car door.
After returning from Shrek Academy, his master informed him that he had something to do at the Spirit Pagoda, and that he and Na'er should return after dinner.
"Hehehe, I get it." Na'er chuckled. It was because the food at that restaurant today was so delicious.
Watching Jiang Xiu walk towards the main gate of the Benti Sect, Na'er waved her jade arm and called out, "Boss, I'll come and practice with you tomorrow night."
"Okay." Jiang Xiu waved slightly and pushed open the crimson door.
Na'er's beautiful eyes sparkled at the response, and her cherry lips curled up slightly.
Practice together.
The point may not be practice, but being together.
Then, watching Jiang Xiu's figure disappear, Na'er hummed a little tune, stepped on the accelerator, and the soul-guided car was like a wild horse, sweeping away the moonlight and driving into the night.
"Tomorrow is when we enter the Golden Ancient Tree. What should I say when I meet Mr. Jin for the first time..." Jiang Xiu closed the door and whispered silently in his heart.
What's more, he didn't know whether Ah Yin had already started to invade the Golden Ancient Tree.
After entering the Body Sect, Jiang Xiu just stepped into the main hall, and two pairs of eyes looked straight at him.
Muye and A Ruheng, one on the left and one on the right, looked at Jiang Xiu meaningfully as he walked in, with smiles on their lips.
Oops, why do I feel like I'm sweating all over.
