Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 19: Escape from Tiandou and encounter "Xueqinghe"

Two and a half years later.

Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City.

The sun was scorching hot, and two young people, a man and a woman, walked in from the east city gate.

At this time, Ling Qianyao was about 1.7 meters tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome face, and his hair was tied up on his head. His black hair fell naturally, and some hair fluttered in the wind.

He was wearing a light black suit, with a slender figure and faintly visible muscle lines.

The woman next to him was none other than Zhu Zhuqing, who had a hot body and exquisite curves. A fitted dress tightly wrapped around her graceful figure, outlining her amazing curves.

Her hair was as black as ink, gently draped over her shoulders. Her eyes and brows revealed a hint of heroism, yet she retained the gentleness of a woman.

She walked lightly, hand in hand with Ling Qianyao, side by side. There was an indescribable tacit understanding and intimacy between the two.

"Qian Yao, this Tiandou City is quite prosperous." The girl's voice had lost its youthfulness and had gained a bit of maturity and steadiness, but it was still crisp and pleasant, as moving as a clear mountain spring.

Ling Qianyao nodded. "After all, it's the imperial capital of an empire. The number of nobles here is far greater than in Xingluo City. Many industries are directly run by the nobles, so the prosperity is on a higher level."

"Extravagant." Zhu Zhuqing curled her lips.

"But the prosperity here is more inclined towards business. If we talk about the holy places in the hearts of soul masters, the most prosperous one is still Wuhun City, the city composed entirely of soul masters. That is the place that soul masters truly yearn for, and it is filled with the aura of soul masters."

The two stopped at a gorgeously decorated hairpin shop. The shop was filled with a dazzling array of hairpins, all kinds of which were neatly displayed on the counter.

Ling Qianyao personally picked out a purple butterfly-shaped hairpin from the top and put it on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Like it?"

"Of course." Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand and gently touched the hairpin, then smiled as she stood in front of the mirror.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper came up to them with a big smile on his face and said, "You two are a perfect match. This purple butterfly hairpin looks even more ethereal on this young lady."

Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing smiled at each other, expressing their gratitude for the shopkeeper's compliments. After paying, they were about to leave.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels could be heard on the street. A gorgeous carriage slowly drove in from the city gate, followed by several horse-riding guards, all with solemn expressions.

The carriage was beautifully decorated, with gold trim and tassels swaying in the wind, exuding an air of nobility. The curtains lifted gently in the breeze, revealing a handsome face: none other than Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire.

The noise on the street suddenly died down, people began to make way, and Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing also stopped temporarily.

"That's the royal car, and it looks like it belongs to His Highness Xue Qinghe." The shopkeeper whispered to the two people beside him, with a hint of envy and awe in his eyes.

Ling Qianyao became interested. He really wanted to see what "Xue Qinghe" looked like.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire was actually killed early on by the Spirit Hall's Young Master Qian Renxue and replaced by him, thus implementing the Spirit Hall's so-called plan to usurp the country.

This peerless genius who had received divine soul power and had an innate soul power of level 20, took on the task of being an undercover agent in the Tiandou Empire because he was angry with Bibi Dong, wasting his precious talent for cultivation.

Before becoming a Soul Master or Soul King, and before the age of 20, one's cultivation speed is naturally enhanced.

Even though Qian Renxue had an innate soul power of level 20, she was only nine years old when she went undercover in the Tiandou Empire, and her cultivation level was at most Soul Master or just reached Soul Sect.

The talent was not utilized at all.

Ling Qianyao had some theories about why Qian Daoliu agreed to let Qian Renxue go to Tiandou. One possibility was that Bibi Dong was hostile to her, perhaps even trying to kill her. She felt unsafe staying in the Spirit Hall, so the old man arranged for her to go undercover in the Tiandou Empire, away from Bibi Dong's threat.

Secondly, Qian Renxue wanted to prove herself and, hoping for maternal love, she attempted to gain Bibi Dong's approval by completing the key step of the Spirit Hall's unification of the continent - controlling the Tiandou Empire.

Of course, he had other random ideas, such as testing Qian Renxue's character and leadership ability after the Angel God Test. Well, the possibility was very slim.

With Qian Renxue's talent, it was a foregone conclusion that she would reach the Soul Saint realm before the age of 20.

After that, he will undergo the divine test and can directly reach the position of god within ten years, becoming another legend on the Douluo Continent.

By then, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Xingluo Empire would be completely insignificant. Even if Tang San obtained the Immortal Grass and other opportunities, he probably wouldn't even reach the Soul Sage stage. By then, he would be able to sweep across the land without anyone being able to stop him.

Unfortunately, she is now hiding her identity and playing another role in Tiandou City. Ling Qianyao can't help but feel a little regretful.

"Ok?"

Qian Renxue in the car suddenly frowned and couldn't help but cover her chest with her right hand.

Her heart moved slightly, and an indescribable feeling spread in her heart.

This feeling was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if it resonated with some powerful martial spirit power, coming from deep within the blood.

"This..." Qian Renxue was shocked. "The induction of a martial soul fusion technique? How is this possible?"

Her martial soul is that of a six-winged angel, a martial soul passed down from the first generation of angel gods who ascended to the divine realm ten thousand years ago.

As the purest and most powerful martial soul among the angels, it has always been a solitary being and has never had a precedent of fusion techniques with other martial souls.

Moreover, based on her talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that her martial soul is a god-level martial soul.

An important factor in the martial soul fusion technique is that the strength of the two martial souls is similar. Doesn't this mean that in Tiandou City, there is a martial soul that is as powerful as her six-winged angel martial soul, and can even resonate with it?
"Car, slow down."

A gleam of light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, and her mind calmed down as she carefully sensed the source of that resonance.

At the same time, Ling Qianyao frowned. The fluctuations coming from the Star-Breaking Sword in his body made him almost subconsciously cast his eyes towards the carriage where Qian Renxue was in the distance.

"Astrology."

The result was harmless, but the stars kept jumping back and forth between good and bad luck.

Without any hesitation, Ling Qianyao fully activated the Star Concealment skill, hiding all fluctuations of the Star-Breaking Sword.

"Huh?" Qian Renxue frowned, the feeling of martial soul resonance completely dissipated.

"Could it be that I sensed it wrongly?" Qian Renxue muttered in her heart, but she quickly denied this idea.

As the owner of an angel martial soul, her perception of martial souls is extremely sharp, and this perception will definitely not be wrong.

"Interesting, really interesting." Qian Renxue's lips curled up into a playful smile.

"I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected gain. Haha, I guess you can even conceal your own martial spirit aura. Want to hide? Humph, wait and see how I pull you out."
