"Who are you two? What's your relationship with the Clear Sky Sect?"
Looking at the two delicate young women imprisoned in the dungeon, Shinoa didn't rush to take action. Instead, she asked about their identities.
Although her mission was to exterminate the entire Clear Sky Clan, she didn't want to kill innocent people.
These two were imprisoned here. They were either disciples who'd committed some grave offense, or captured outsiders.
"My name is Zhu Zhuqing, and she is Ning Rongrong. We are enemies of the Clear Sky Sect."
One of the women spoke up. She wore a black leather jacket, her long dark hair draped over her shoulders. Her skin was fair, and she possessed an exceptionally developed figure inconsistent with her apparent age. Her face remained cold, nearly expressionless.
But when she mentioned the Clear Sky Sect, undisguised hatred flashed in her eyes.
Though Zhuqing had no idea who the three women before her were, she was certain they couldn't be from the Clear Sky Sect. On the contrary, they were most likely enemies of the sect. After all, even from the dungeon, she'd heard the fierce battle raging outside.
"How do you prove what you said is true?" Shinoa continued.
Though she didn't want to kill anyone by mistake, she also wouldn't let any enemy escape.
"They're indeed not from the Clear Sky Sect."
Without waiting for Zhuqing to respond, Qian Renxue, standing behind Shinoa and Mahiru, spoke up to defend them.
"Zhu Zhuqing, daughter of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, and Ning Rongrong, daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
After speaking, Qian Renxue couldn't help but look at Rongrong, who was huddled in the corner.
She looked haggard, tear marks streaking her face. Anyone could tell she'd been crying bitterly not long ago.
"I'm curious," Qian Renxue said. "Why are two people with such different backgrounds together? And how did you end up imprisoned in the Clear Sky Sect's dungeon?"
"It began a few months ago..." Zhuqing sat down and began recounting their experiences.
After Victor killed Tang San and the others, Zhuqing had followed Rongrong back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and joined them. In the early days, life had been peaceful. With the protection of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, neither the Zhu family nor the Star Luo Empire dared to trouble her.
But just days ago, a group of Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect, along with numerous Soul Douluo and Soul Saints, had attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They'd nearly slaughtered everyone. Even Sect Master Ning Fengzhi and the two guardian elders had died under the Titled Douluo's siege.
Though the two of them had survived without being killed, they were captured and brought back to the Clear Sky Sect. The sect planned to use them as breeding tools so they could obtain the top beast spirit, the Hell Civet, and the top auxiliary spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tower.
Unfortunately for the Clear Sky Sect, before they could act on their plans, they themselves were slaughtered. The wheel of fate truly turned.
"Why would the Clear Sky Sect attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect without reason? Didn't they close their gates?" Qian Renxue was confused.
"It's because of Tang San," Zhuqing explained. "Tang San's father is Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao. After Tang San was killed, Tang Hao believed it was related to us. After tracking us to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he led a group of Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect to attack."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but sneer.
It was just as Master had expected. This Clear Sky Douluo seemed to have been expelled from the sect, but the two sides were still connected. The Clear Sky Sect hadn't been wrongfully slaughtered at all.
"You just mentioned Xiao Wu's name. Do you know her?"
Qian Renxue changed the subject.
Zhuqing was surprised but nodded. "Xiao Wu was once our classmate and also our best friend."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue said to Shinoa and Mahiru, "Since these two are Xiao Wu's best friends, I think it's necessary to take them to meet Victor."
Naturally, Shinoa and Mahiru had no objection.
Qian Renxue then swung her sword, shattering the heavy black iron door into pieces.
"You two come with us first. Don't worry, we won't hurt you."
Zhuqing nodded and walked out gracefully. Rongrong followed, and the group left the Clear Sky Sect's dungeon together.
As soon as they emerged outside, they saw the corpses of Clear Sky Sect disciples scattered across the ground.
Though she'd expected this, Zhuqing was still shocked when she witnessed the scene with her own eyes.
Who would've thought that such a massive sect like the Clear Sky Sect could actually be conquered and massacred by just three women?
Rongrong beside her burst into tears.
"Thank you. Thank you for killing these bastards!"
After losing all her loved ones, her greatest wish had been to kill all her enemies, or at least watch as the Clear Sky Sect members were slaughtered. Originally, this had been an impossible dream, but now it was actually happening before her eyes. She couldn't help but feel relieved.
Zhuqing gently patted Rongrong's shoulders to comfort her.
After leaving the Clear Sky Sect, Shinoa said to Qian Renxue, "Take them both back to the medicine garden. My sister and I will go to Holy Spirit Village to find that Clear Sky Douluo."
"Do you know the way?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.
"If we don't know, we can ask around or just buy a map."
That made sense. After all, Holy Spirit Village wasn't some hidden sect like the Clear Sky Sect. They could find out where it was by asking anyone.
"Alright, I'll head out first."
After speaking, Qian Renxue took Zhuqing and Rongrong and flew toward the Sunset Forest.
Soon, Qian Renxue brought the two women back to the medicine garden in Sunset Forest. The one who greeted them was Di Tian.
Whenever Gu Yuena was away, he was usually the one in charge of guarding the place.
"Has Master not returned yet?"
"Miss Qian Renxue, Lord Victor and Lord Silver Dragon King have not returned yet," Di Tian replied respectfully.
Though Qian Renxue wasn't as strong as himself and was merely a maid, Di Tian didn't dare neglect her. After all, she served that master, and her status was far more noble than his own.
According to Lord Silver Dragon King, his maid even had the chance to advance and become his master's partner. He absolutely couldn't afford to offend her.
Qian Renxue nodded. "Then please arrange rooms for us to rest."
"Of course. Please follow me."
After Di Tian arranged accommodations for the three women, he departed.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Noticing Zhuqing's undisguised curiosity, Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.
Zhuqing was silent for a moment before voicing the question on her mind. "How did you manage to fly without using soul power just now? And at such incredible speed?"
For a soul master to fly for extended periods, they either needed to reach the Titled Douluo realm or possess a flying soul bone. She didn't know how strong Qian Renxue was, but regardless of which method of flight one used, it required soul power.
Yet she hadn't sensed any soul power fluctuations from Qian Renxue just now, which clearly violated common sense.
More importantly, even if a Titled Douluo were to fly, they couldn't possibly be that fast, right? In less than an hour, they'd crossed thousands of kilometers, traveling directly from the Clear Sky Sect to the Sunset Forest!
Qian Renxue smiled mysteriously. "You'll learn about it later. If you're fortunate, perhaps you'll experience it yourself."
