"If you escape and return safely many years from now, I might consider, liking you."
"..."
The words of the rain before still seemed to echo in his ears. Ming Tian slumped to the ground. Rain fell, and looking at the scene before him, his heart felt dead.
"If you had surrendered obediently, so many people wouldn't have died because of you. You caused their deaths. If you still try to run, resisting stubbornly, even more people will die."
Qian Suoning stood silently in the rain, his hands behind his back, walking towards Ming Tian. The rain dispersed around him, not even wetting the edge of his clothes.
Everything seemed to be over. No one could stop their Spirit Hall. All obstacles had been cleared, and things were still under control. Qian Suoning also believed that the child before him couldn't escape. He might as well rub salt in his wounds and attack his spirit.
Ming Tian didn't speak, maintaining a deathly silence, his eyes vacant, only looking at all the dead.
It was him, he killed them...
"No, you're not allowed to hurt Ming Tian!"
Yan Qingwan stood in front of Ming Tian, spreading her arms, her eyes glaring at Qian Suoning, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She was also afraid. So many people had been killed by Qian Suoning with a single move. How could a mere Ring Spirit Master like her stop a Title Douluo?
But she still chose to stand in front of Ming Tian, her small figure protecting him, which made people ache for them.
"I didn't expect so many people to be willing to protect you. I really don't understand, what is there about an Evil Spirit Master that's worth protecting? I don't want to kill you. I also have a little daughter, about your age. Get out of the way, little girl!"
Qian Suoning said sternly, the Angel Holy Sword reappearing in his hand.
"No! If you want to kill us, kill us together!"
Yan Qingwan's eyes held only hatred. Her father and mother had been killed by Spirit Hall. In one day, she had suffered such a great change, that made her hate Spirit Hall to the extreme.
"In that case, I'll send you both to hell together!"
Qian Suoning said, raising the Angel Holy Sword, the tip of the sword extending a long ray, about to slash down at Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan.
"Second Spirit Skill, Dream Shatter!"
Just as the sword ray was about to fall, an attack instantly blocked it. Someone whose clothes were tattered, stood in front of them.
"Master?"
The one who blocked the attack was Meng Qianji. Seeing that Meng Qianji wasn't dead, protecting them, Ming Tian finally regained some consciousness, and he and Yan Qingwan showed surprised expressions.
"What a surprise, you're still alive after taking an attack from the Seven Heavens? But Meng Qianji, are you really going to sacrifice your life for this little fellow? If you catch him now and bring him to me, I can spare your life, how about that?"
"Hmph, wishful thinking. I think you're getting more and more muddled with age. Ming Tian is my disciple. A master, even if he dies, must protect his disciple, otherwise, wouldn't the world laugh at him?"
"In that case, you can leave your life here today. Seven Heavens!"
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Dimensional Summon!"
Facing Qian Suoning's Seven Heavens again, Meng Qianji released his Eighth Spirit Skill, which he hadn't used before. A black hole appeared in front of him, and it expanded instantly. A roar came from within, as if something was emerging from the black hole.
This was Meng Qianji's Eighth Spirit Skill, which could summon help from other dimensional spaces, but this Dimensional Black Hole only connected to another dimension. Whether the help could actually come out and assist depended on luck, so he hadn't dared to use it. Now, in this special situation, he had to use his Eighth Spirit Skill.
The Seven Heavens attacked the Dimensional Black Hole in front of Meng Qianji, and from within the black hole, another angry roar erupted. A head emerged from the black hole; it was a crimson beast head, its open mouth was purple, revealing a green tongue, and spewing out a huge energy ball, which blasted towards Qian Suoning.
"The Dimensional Black Hole's duration is very short, we must leave quickly!"
Seeing that it was effective, Meng Qianji immediately took Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan and sat on the back of his Spirit, the Dream Demon, and quickly fled into the distance.
"Don't even think about escaping!!!"
Seeing this, Qian Suoning was shocked. He understood very well what trouble would arise if he let Ming Tian escape today. If he couldn't eliminate the roots, and allowed Ming Tian to grow, Spirit Hall would face the most terrifying nightmare!
"Roar!!!"
However, his previous Seven Heavens had angered the monster in the Dimensional Black Hole. Although the Dimensional Black Hole's duration was limited, the monster still poked out most of its body. The crimson head was like a sharp cone, eyeless, with three heads, like a dog and a horse, and the aura it emitted was comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
It sensed that Qian Suoning was the one who had angered it, and with its three heads opening their mouths, it spewed out three energy balls, attacking Qian Suoning.
Qian Suoning was helpless and could only deal with this monster.
"Hoo—Hoo—"
Meng Qianji was weakly gasping, leaning on the back of the Dream Demon, who was running wildly.
"Master! Master, how are you?!"
Ming Tian looked at the weak Meng Qianji, and his heart grew anxious, asking with concern.
"I'm not dying for now, but we have to run quickly. The Dimensional Black Hole's duration is limited. If we get caught up by Qian Suoning, we're still dead."
"But where are we running?"
"North! To the ice plains, into the Extreme North! As long as we reach the Extreme North, Qian Suoning won't be able to find us in the blowing snow."
Meng Qianji made his decision at the critical moment. Heavenly Spirit City was very close to the Extreme North, only separated by a grassland. Running in other directions would likely allow them to be caught up by Qian Suoning, and it would not be conducive for them to hide their tracks.
"Bang!!!!"
A loud explosion came from within Heavenly Spirit City in the distance, followed by Qian Suoning's voice.
"You don't want to run!"
"Damn, my Eighth Spirit Skill is unreliable. The Dimensional Black Hole closed so quickly."
"What do we do now!"
Yan Qingwan was also anxious. Qian Suoning was extremely fast, and they could already feel the pressure he was emitting.
"Ming Tian, listen to me, you two run first. I still have some Spirit Power. I don't think this old man will actually kill me. I'll die, and when you escape, you avenge your master."
Meng Qianji struggled, urging the Dream Demon to turn around, and put down Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan.
He was going to turn back and fight Qian Suoning.
"No! I've already caused enough people to die, how can I cause Master to die? Qian Suoning is right, if I surrendered obediently, everyone wouldn't have died."
Ming Tian said, blaming himself.
"Silly disciple, don't let the old man's words affect your mind! He's deliberately saying that. Even without you, Heavenly Spirit City wouldn't have escaped this fate. It's not your fault!"
"You two run quickly!!"
Meng Qianji was already a little anxious, Qian Suoning's aura was getting closer and closer, and they would be caught up soon.
"No, Master, I..."
"What do we do, if only there was a place to hide."
Yan Qingwan also said anxiously.
"Hide?"
Ming Tian noticed this information, and thought of something.
They were in a coniferous forest north of Heavenly Spirit City, and naturally, there was no place to hide nearby, but...
"That's right! The Heart of the Sea God! Master, didn't you auction off the Heart of the Sea God? That thing can make us invisible! It can let us hide!"
Ming Tian, reminded by Yan Qingwan, remembered and said.
"That's right, Heart of the Sea God, how did I forget about this thing!"
Meng Qianji slapped his forehead, took out the Heart of the Sea God he had previously auctioned off, and the Heart of the Sea God emitted a sapphire-blue light, quite profound.
"How do we use this?"
"Try channeling your Spirit Power!"
With that, Ming Tian channeled his Spirit Power into the Heart of the Sea God, and the light emitted by the Heart of the Sea God became brighter. A layer of blue light shone on them, enveloping the three.
"Eh?"
Qian Suoning, who was pursuing, was stunned and stopped because he sensed that his lock on Meng Qianji had disappeared.
"What's going on?!"
The place where Qian Suoning stopped was actually very close to where the three were hiding, but the power of the Sea God emitted by the Heart of the Sea God isolated his mental perception. In his perception, Ming Tian and the other two had vanished into thin air.
The three, invisible, didn't dare to breathe, their hearts beating rapidly. They could still see the situation outside, and Qian Suoning was not far from them, searching back and forth.
"Boom boom!!"
Another sound echoed from Heavenly Spirit City. Qian Suoning turned his head and looked in the direction of Heavenly Spirit City. It turned out that Du Huns and Qian Xunji, who had been fighting, had already determined a victor. The winner was actually Du Huns!
"Hahahaha, what Title Douluo, what Holy Angel, still lost to my main body Spirit! Qian Xunji, take my life!"
Du Huns was extremely crazed at this moment, and there were multiple serious injuries on his body, but compared to him, Qian Xunji was even more miserable.
Qian Xunji's hair was already disheveled, and his clothes were even more tattered, his Spirit Power aura was weak.
A Title Douluo being defeated by a Spirit Douluo was simply a great humiliation!
"Qian Xunji, take my life!"
"Ring Fusion! Eight Hearts Fusion!"
Du Huns became more and more crazy, and all eight Spirit Skills were fused, turning himself into a freak, and he charged towards Qian Xunji.
"Don't hurt Xunji!"
Seeing that Qian Xunji was in trouble, Qian Suoning didn't bother to look for Ming Tian and the others anymore, and quickly turned back to Heavenly Spirit City to block this attack for Qian Xunji.
Qian Suoning was also running out of Spirit Power. Continuous use of the Ninth Spirit Skill had left him exhausted. He struggled to block Du Huns's attack, and his face showed a look of surprise. Du Huns's attack was already no less than a Title Douluo's.
Seeing that he hadn't taken down Qian Xunji, Du Huns took a step back, looking at where Meng Qianji and the others were, and seeing that they had run away, he knew that Meng Qianji had escaped danger, and there was no need to continue fighting.
"It seems that Spirit Hall is nothing more than that. Today, I didn't die, and in the future, my main body sect's name will surely spread across the continent, and in ten thousand years, it will surely become the number one sect in the world! Hahahaha, people of Spirit Hall, we'll meet again!"
Du Huns laughed loudly, and then fled into the distance. The two wanted to chase, but an army arrived outside Heavenly Spirit City.
"Not good, it's the people of Seven Luo City!"
"Sigh, what a pity, we couldn't take down that so-called main body sect guy. It seems that after ten thousand years, another powerful sect will appear! I'm getting old."
"Uncle, are we going to fail here?!"
"No, let's go back first, and issue a continent-wide wanted order. I don't believe they can escape to the ends of the earth!"
"Let's go!"
"Sir, wait for me, what about that little fellow?"
Lordiara didn't fight with He Chen anymore, pointing at Yan, who was on the side. From beginning to end, Yan had been there, watching all of this, and the whole person was in a daze.
"Take him with us! At least he has something to do with Ming Tian and the others. Take him back to Spirit Hall!"
With that, Lordiara grabbed Yan, and together with Qian Suoning, they left.
"Zhi Lin, the City Lord of Seven Luo City, arrived late! This, what's going on?"
Zhi Lin, leading the troops, arrived in Heavenly Spirit City, and was shocked at the destruction.
"Hoo, you're finally here..."
He Chen sat on the ground, exhausted, looking at the reinforcements, and fainted from exhaustion.
"He Chen!"
Old Jack and Little Jack ran over to He Chen, seeing him faint.
"What a disaster, what a disaster! Who turned Heavenly Spirit City into this! I'm going to report to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!!"
"Uh, sir, maybe we know the details."
Just as Zhi Lin was going crazy, two sneaky people came to Zhi Lin's side.
And they were carrying two children.
"You are..."
"In the lower Morri, and this is my brother Meng He, we luckily escaped the disaster, and may know what happened..."
The story of Heavenly Spirit City in the first volume is over, and the adventure in the Extreme North of the second volume is about to begin!
