Its branches slowly changed from purple to black-purple, its body surged nearly five meters taller, and its tree eyes seemed to become even more eerie.
Ning Bei looked at Dugu Bo beside him upon seeing this.
"Grandpa Dugu, you are a master of poison, please try it out for me."
Dugu Bo nodded, letting Yao Yao use its branches to trap his hand, and then began to release his poison.
As soon as the poison entered his body, Dugu Bo's expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly shook off Yao Yao's branches, immediately entering a meditative state.
Dugu Yan and Ning Bei anxiously stared at Dugu Bo from the side.
His face began to turn purple, then blue, quite terrifying.
After a long while, Dugu Bo finally recovered, opened his eyes, and looked at Yao Yao with lingering fear.
"Good heavens, the Demon Eye Magic Tree's toxicity is already no less than a poison-attribute Soul Douluo. I almost fell for it just now. Kid, anyone below a Titled Douluo has to think twice before touching you."
Ning Bei and Dugu Yan laughed happily upon hearing the old man's evaluation, this trip was indeed not in vain.
Having achieved the purpose of this trip, Ning Bei and Dugu Yan spent some time together affectionately, and then planned to return to the sect.
After saying goodbye to his reluctant woman, instructing her to cultivate diligently and break through to Soul King as soon as possible, he embarked on the road back.
At the same time, Qian Renxue, after absorbing her fifth Spirit Ring, also returned to Spirit City, she had questions to ask her grandfather Qian Daoliu for confirmation.
Without alarming anyone from Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue stepped into the solemn and dignified Angel Temple, and that kind face came into view.
"Grandfather, I'm back."
Qian Daoliu opened his eyes and looked at his granddaughter in confusion.
"Xue'er, why are you back? Did something happen in the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Qian Renxue didn't speak, but threw herself into the old man's arms, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly.
"Did someone bully you? Tell me who it is?"
Qian Renxue then left his embrace, wiping her moist eyes, she just missed her family after not seeing them for so long.
She shook her head at Qian Daoliu.
"Grandfather, no one bullied me, I came back this time because I have something to ask you."
"Oh? What is it?"
Qian Renxue organized her words, thinking about how to tell her grandfather about the meeting with Ning Bei.
"Grandfather, haven't you received the Angel God's decree for a long time?"
Hearing his granddaughter's words, Qian Daoliu's expression changed drastically.
"Xue'er, how do you know?"
"As expected, that little scoundrel didn't lie to me!"
Qian Renxue had already received confirmation from Qian Daoliu's expression, it seemed that the Angel God had indeed fallen.
"Grandfather, don't worry about how I know, I'm telling you something very serious now, the Angel God may no longer be."
"What? That's impossible? Xue'er, who did you hear this nonsense from? Tell me, I'll kill him."
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue thought it was a good thing she didn't directly mention Ning Bei, otherwise, in his rage, her grandfather might have gone directly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to kill that little rascal!
After all, being told that the faith he had held all his life no longer existed was too much for the old man who had dedicated his life to the Angel God.
"Grandfather, stop deceiving yourself. If the Angel God still existed, how could he ignore you?"
"I've already heard that the God King Asura God in the God Realm has cultivated a hidden pawn in Douluo Continent as his successor, and that person is our Qian family's mortal enemy."
Qian Daoliu, hearing his granddaughter's words, barely managed to stabilize his almost shattered Dao heart.
"Mortal enemy? Are you talking about the Clear Sky Hammer?"
"More precisely, it's Tang Hao, and his descendants."
A hint of disdain flashed through Qian Daoliu's heart; he had thought his granddaughter was talking about Tang Chen.
"What ability does Tang Hao have? And his descendants, even if they are geniuses with full innate Soul Power, my Spirit Hall can destroy them with a wave of our hand."
Qian Renxue shook her head, disagreeing with her grandfather's view.
"Tang Hao and his son alone are not to be feared, but the Asura God behind them must be guarded against. Isn't father's death the best proof?"
"Even if we send out a lineup far surpassing Tang Hao, we still can't kill him. In other words, the entire continent's fortune is on that father and son."
Thinking that the other party might be a person of the Asura God, a solemn expression appeared on Qian Daoliu's face.
"What you said does make sense. Then, according to Xue'er, what should we do now?"
Qian Renxue's mind recalled Ning Bei's face, and she looked at Qian Daoliu.
"Grandfather, we still have a companion. He has already started planning. Let's not make a move rashly. That bad guy seems to be able to predict the future trajectory of Tang Hao and his son."
"Hmm? Bad guy? Why is our companion a bad guy?"
Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed red at the question. She couldn't possibly say that your granddaughter was subjected to a round of bondage play by him in the Star Dou Great Forest, could she?
"Oh, Grandfather, just don't worry about it. We have our own ways. I came back this time just to verify the truth of the matter with you. When the time comes that we need you to take action, I will notify you."
Qian Daoliu nodded, agreeing with his granddaughter's idea, but his heart sank slightly. He suspected that someone with ulterior motives had approached Qian Renxue and instilled these strange ideas in her.
He still couldn't believe the fact that the Angel God had fallen, and planned to secretly send someone to investigate who his granddaughter had been in contact with in the Heaven Dou Empire.
If it really was a person with ulterior motives, Qian Daoliu would not hesitate to crush them. As for Tang Hao and his son, he had never taken them seriously.
Even if the Angel God had really fallen, then cultivating his granddaughter to ascend to the Godhood could eliminate all evil.
Due to her ties to the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue left Spirit City that very night and rushed towards the Heaven Dou Empire, not stopping her cultivation along the way. Ning Bei's cultivation deeply stung her proud heart.
...
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect once again reached its biannual Spirit Awakening ceremony. In the previous three years, with the help of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, it had steadily outputted hundreds of children with innate Soul Power of level 5 for the sect.
Sometimes, they could even draw an S card, with a few individuals appearing with innate Soul Power above level 7. It had to be said that having a guaranteed minimum was a good thing.
They were still divided into two groups to awaken their Spirits. The group that had taken the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid had Ning Fengyuan personally awaken their Spirits, while those who had not taken it did so outside the main hall.
However, this time the luck wasn't very good, and no one appeared with more than innate Soul Power level 5.
Ning Fengzhi was not disappointed to see this situation, as this was the norm for Spirit Awakening. If these children had not consistently used the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for two years, they would most likely have zero innate Soul Power and useless Spirits.
Ning Bei visited the Crown Prince Residence almost every month to provide Qian Renxue with some Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and Mind Awakening Pills.
Since he had decided to cooperate with her, Ning Bei still intended to wholeheartedly support the little angel.
Perhaps she was stimulated by him, Qian Renxue had improved her Soul Power by another level in just one month, reaching level 53.
The little angel felt like she could do it again, and even had the idea of sparring with that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear again.
Ning Bei couldn't help but wonder where her confidence came from, and refused her challenge under the pretext of being busy with sect matters.
