Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 360 Tears of Joy, Grandfather and Grandson Talk

Inside the Yuanen family's ancestral home, a group of people paced back and forth in the spacious courtyard, their eyes occasionally glancing at the sky.

Everyone was praying for Qian Gu Qi Tian and the others; no one present wanted them to fail.

Qian Gu Die Ting did not leave. He sat quietly on a step in the courtyard, closing his eyes to rest.

Yali sat beside him, her arms wrapped around her knees, her gaze fixed on the patch of sky where the crack had appeared. Her clear eyes seemed to pierce through the curtain of time and space, reaching into another starry universe.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Not long after, the space in the sky distorted, and dense silver spatial elements constructed a stable spacetime gate in the sky.

When everything returned to normal, Qian Gu Qi Tian and his companions had returned to Douluo Continent from the Demon Dimension.

The moment they appeared, all the senior members of the Yuanen family breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions visibly relaxed.

Ya Li smiled; she could sense that none of the Qian Gu Qi Tian group were injured, which was undoubtedly the best outcome.

As she looked away, she inadvertently noticed that Qian Gu Die Ting, who had just appeared calm and collected, had actually let out a long sigh of relief.

The old man did not seem as calm as he appeared.

Of all those present, Yuan En Ye Hui undoubtedly had the strongest reaction.

She stood up abruptly from Yuan Entian's embrace, the moisture in her eyes turning into tears that slid down the girl's delicate face.

All the worries were released in tears at this moment.

Qian Gu Qi Tian glanced at the ground beneath him and was slightly surprised when he sensed Qian Gu Die Ting's aura.

He didn't know what had happened, but they had managed to bring his grandfather, who rarely went out anymore, here.

Of course, Qian Gu Qi Tian also noticed Yuan En Ye Hui, who was crying like a little kitten.

The next instant, the Eternal Qitian appeared in front of Yuanen Yehui. Without any hesitation, the girl threw herself into the Eternal Qitian's arms. She hugged him tightly with all her might, as if afraid that the Eternal Qitian would leave her.

"Brother Qitian, I... I'm so scared, so scared that I'll never see you again..."

The girl's voice trembled, and her body trembled as well.

Qian Gu Qi Tian gently patted the girl's back and chuckled:
"It's just a small demon plane, how could your brother Qi Tian not be able to defeat it?"

"Can……"

"There are no buts. I'm back, and everything is fine."

Qian Gu Qi Tian interrupted Yuan En Ye Hui's spellcasting directly. He cupped Yuan En Ye Hui's small face in his hands, and with a slight movement of his thumb, he wiped away the tear stains on the girl's cheeks.

"This trip to the Demon Realm wasn't just to avenge my little Yehui; your brother and your sisters also secured a significant opportunity for her."

Yuan Enhui shook his head:

"I... I can't accept this. It's all..."

But how could the Eternal Heaven give Yuanen Yehui time to refuse?

He transformed his palm into a finger and placed it directly on Yuanen Yehui's brow. The drop of primordial blood left by the Demon God flowed directly from Qian Gu Qitian's fingertip and into Yuanen Yehui's body.

On Yuanen Yehui's smooth forehead, a complex purple-gold rune immediately appeared. After emitting a dazzling light, it gradually faded and disappeared on Yuanen Yehui's forehead.

The Fallen Angel bloodline within Yuanen Yehui's body boiled upon contact with this drop of primordial blood. If it weren't for the suppression by the Titan Ape bloodline and the guidance of Qian Gu Qitian's soul power, Yuanen Yehui would probably have been directly dominated by the Fallen Angel bloodline.

A weak consciousness might even lose its way due to its inability to control this powerful force. At that point, the instincts of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul would completely dominate everything Yuanen Yehui does.

The primordial blood will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Yuan En Ye Hui's body, but all of this will be accomplished gradually and imperceptibly.

As for Yuan Enhui, after receiving this powerful force that did not belong to her, her body activated its self-protection mechanism, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing Yuanen Yehui fall into a deep sleep again, Qian Gu Qitian felt a little relieved.

With this opportunity, Yuan Enhui not only gained the qualifications to step into the god-level, but also had the capital to move towards a higher level.

Yuan Entian had already been standing silently beside Yuan Enyehui when she lunged at Qian Gu Qitian. Seeing that his daughter had fallen asleep again, he stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Qi...Qi Tian, ​​is Ye Hui...alright?"

"Father-in-law, don't worry. Xiao Yehui has actually turned misfortune into blessing this time, and his future is limitless."

Hearing Qian Gu Qi Tian's guarantee, Yuan En Tian Dang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then asked, "What about the demon dimension?"

After confirming that Yuan Enhui was unharmed, this was the thing he most wanted to know at this moment.

Not only him, but all the senior members of the Yuanen family were extremely concerned about this matter.

The Great Equal to Heaven didn't keep anyone in suspense. He glanced around and, seeing that all eyes were on him, solemnly announced:

"The Demon Dimension no longer exists. Whether it was the boil from over a decade ago or Alba we met not long ago, they have both turned into cosmic dust. The Yuanen family no longer needs to worry about the invasion of the demon race!"

After a moment of calm, everyone was overjoyed, and the gloom of the past was swept away in an instant!

Yuan Entian's second younger brother, Yuan Entianshang, wept with joy. He knelt on the ground, covered his head with his hands, and trembled all over.

He could never forget the image of his wife being pierced through the chest by a giant demon ten years ago.

He could do nothing then, only watch helplessly as his wife slowly lost her life, her warm blood gradually cooling, and her soft body becoming stiff...

Over the years, this image has become a nightmare for him.

Yuan Entianshang had no idea how many nights he had been awakened by the same scene.

He vented all his anger on his elder brother and sister-in-law, believing that his wife would not have died if it weren't for his sister-in-law's presence.

However, after watching his sister-in-law being forced to death by the clansmen and his elder brother becoming depressed, Yuan Entianshang did not gain any sense of satisfaction from revenge.

He then realized that his cowardice even prevented him from seeking revenge against the demon race...

So many years have passed, and he even thought that revenge was a pipe dream, but he never expected that things would take a turn for the better.

"Arou, you... can finally rest in peace..."

There were many people like Yuan Entianshang. During that catastrophe, almost every family wore mourning clothes, and the vast majority of people had relatives who perished in that catastrophe.

When Yuan Enzhentian, the clan leader, saw this scene, he felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

The crisis in the Demon Realm has been completely resolved, and he no longer needs to worry about such a thing happening.

Yuan Enzhentian looked at Qian Gu Qitian again. The more he looked at this grandson-in-law, the more he liked him!

"I wonder...when I'll be able to hold my great-grandson..."

Despite being the greatest victim of the demon realm, Yuan Entiandang displayed a completely different calm upon learning this news compared to everyone else. After a moment of stunned silence, a smile gradually appeared on his face:
"It's good that they've been eliminated, it's good that they've been eliminated..."

As he spoke, tears welled up in Yuan Entian's eyes, but the smile on his face did not disappear; instead, it became even brighter!
After a long while, Yuan Entian finally calmed himself down, and he said with a wry smile:
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure..."

“I understand.” Qian Gu Qi Tian smiled slightly. “Father-in-law, I won’t be leaving Xiao Ye Hui to you this time. It’s getting late, we should head back.”

Upon hearing that Qian Gu Qi Tian was going to take Yuan En Ye Hui away, Yuan En Tian Dang felt very reluctant, but still smiled and said:
“Take good care of Ye Hui. Over the years, I have been an incompetent father, causing her a lot of suffering. Even if there is a chance to make amends now, it will not be able to heal the wounds I have caused her.”

"Qi Tian, ​​I know Ye Hui isn't your only one, but you are hers. As her father, all I can do here is beg you not to let her down."

Qian Gu Qi Tian nodded solemnly:

"Father-in-law, rest assured, I will never let down any girl who is sincere to me. I swear by my martial spirit."

"Xiao Tian."

Following the sound, Qian Gu Qi Tian saw his maternal grandfather, Qian Gu Die Ting.

He bowed slightly:
Grandpa, what brings you here?

Qian Gu Die Ting gave a brief explanation, which finally made Qian Gu Qi Tian understand what had happened.

It turns out that a spatial rift caused the aura from the demon dimension to leak out; no wonder Koyo was so worried...

"I'm sorry to have worried Grandpa."

Qian Gu Die Ting waved his hand:
"As long as you're okay."

……

People's joys and sorrows are not shared. When Qian Gu Qi Tian rose to great heights, the Qian Gu Zhang Ting, which was once jokingly called "Young Tower Master" by the Qian Gu family, was no longer what it used to be.

Out of consideration for their blood ties, Qian Gu Die Ting did not implicate Qian Gu Dong Feng, his only grandson, in the foolish things he had done.

However, after Qian Gu Dongfeng stepped down, Qian Gu Zhangting's status in both the Spirit Transmission Tower and the Qian Gu family plummeted.

Having once been extravagant and disregarded money, he lost his financial support and could only receive a monthly living allowance from the clan's foundation, just like any other member of the ancient clan.

The subsidy is not small; if used only for living expenses, it is enough to live a relatively comfortable life.

But how could a young master like Qian Gu Zhang Ting possibly adapt to this?

The huge difference in quality of life is a minor issue; what Qian Guzhangting finds most unacceptable is the difference in social status.

He was once the center of attention, the focus of everyone's gaze wherever he went. His exceptional talent and status made him the dream of countless young women.

He enjoyed this feeling.

However, without the advantage of being the grandson of the tower master, he was just a young man with relatively outstanding talent.

Moreover, Qian Gu Zhangting never forgot the silver-haired little girl he met at the Spirit Pagoda...

But that girl was already taken, and that person... was his lifelong enemy!
If we were to name the few people in the world who hated the legendary Emperor Qitian the most, Emperor Zhangting would certainly be among them.

In his view, without Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​his grandfather Qian Gu Dong Feng would not have been forced to abdicate by his great-grandfather, and he would still be the most talented person among the younger generation of the Spirit Pagoda. Even that silver-haired girl would belong to him, Qian Gu Zhang Ting...

But reality doesn't offer "what ifs"!
In recent years, as Qian Gu Qi Tian has grown stronger, Qian Gu Zhang Ting's will has become increasingly weak.

The terrifying increase in the power of the Eternal Qitian left him with no hope.

Let alone chasing, at this moment, Qian Gu Zhang Ting didn't even have the courage to look up.

He had thought his life would be filled with failures, but one day, things suddenly took a turn for the better...

At this moment, within the territory of the Qian Gu Clan, Qian Gu Zhang Ting was dressed in casual clothes, walking along the path, looking quite inconspicuous.

The clansmen who were originally very enthusiastic towards him dared not greet him, the "former big shot" of the clan, in order to avoid suspicion, for fear of getting involved and displeasing Qian Gu Qitian.

But their idea was completely unnecessary, because Qian Gu Qi Tian rarely came to the clan's territory.

Seeing that his clansmen were avoiding him like the plague, Qian Gu Zhangting just snorted coldly and continued walking deeper into the clan's territory.

He arrived at the place where the ancient East Wind was imprisoned.

Qian Gu Die Ting did not take precautions against Qian Gu Zhang Ting, thus restricting the other party's freedom, but the will of Qian Gu Zhang Ting was worn down and he rarely went out, and had never even set foot here.

And at this moment, he arrived just as Qian Gu Die Ting was leaving.

There were no protective measures in place, and Qian Gu Zhang Ting entered very easily.

After passing through the passageway, Qian Gu Zhang Ting finally met his grandfather, Qian Gu Dong Feng.

Seeing his grandfather in this state, Qian Gu Zhangting was overcome with grief once again:
"grandfather!"

The sound was so mournful that it broke the hearts of listeners and brought tears to their eyes.

The ancient East Wind, who was sitting quietly, didn't even open his eyelids, but simply asked in a calm voice:

"Zhangting, what brings you here?"

Qian Gu Zhangting glanced outside somewhat guiltily, then hurriedly said:
"Grandpa, let's go!"

"Go? Where?"

The eternal east wind remains steadfast and unwavering.

He seemed to have absolutely no interest in escaping.

Recalling the cold shoulders he had endured over the years, Qian Gu Zhangting gritted his teeth:

"Go to the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"hehe."

Qian Gu Dong Feng seemed unsurprised to hear those three words, and he scoffed.
"What's the point of going there? To your great-grandfather, the two emperors of the underworld were nothing more than two big rats."

"They say they can make you...a god!"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, but soon, the ancient east wind coldly snorted:
"Such a good opportunity, how could the Ghost Emperor and the Underworld Emperor give it to someone like me who only has the strength of a demigod?"

It goes without saying that the "East Wind of a Thousand Years" carries immense risks.

"Grandpa! But we have nothing left to lose!" Qian Gu Zhangting's eyes were red, like a gambler in dire straits. "We can only have a chance to get back to the table if we use ourselves as chips! Don't you... want to take revenge on that damned outsider, Qian Gu Qitian?!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Dong Feng did not refute it, but instead fell into a long silence.
