Chapter 17 Qian Renxue's Identity Exposed, No One Dares to Stop Her Through the Main Gate!
"Twelfth place..."
Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes, a faint trace of resentment flashing across her exquisite face.
But it was quickly replaced by her unwavering belief, and she murmured softly, "Grandpa was right, the glory of the angels will eventually shine upon the continent!"
She quickly concealed her aura, reverting to the gentle and refined Crown Prince of Tiandou.
But deep in her eyes, the pride and sharpness of an angel's heir burned even brighter.
However, just as the golden light shone and the rewards descended, the all-encompassing camera in the sky seemed to capture a discordant, feigned fluctuation beneath the sacred pillar of light!
In the sky's image, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's figure, illuminated by the golden light, momentarily blurred and distorted.
Although she tried her best to conceal it, the stunning beauty revealed in that fleeting glance, and the faint phantom of a six-winged angel behind her, were still visible.
This was enough to prove that Xue Qinghe at this moment was actually a disguise by Qian Renxue, the inheritor of the Six-Winged Angel!
In the Imperial Palace of the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye and his high-ranking officials gathered together.
"Could the one on the sky be... His Highness the Crown Prince?!" A minister who had approached exclaimed in shock.
"That spirit... is the Six-Winged Angel! She's from the Spirit Hall! She's Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, Qian Renxue!" another Soul Master general exclaimed in horror.
The entire Heaven Dou Imperial Palace fell into a deathly silence, followed by an uncontrollable commotion and panic!
An inside agent from the Spirit Hall had been brazenly planted among them, and it was none other than the Crown Prince they had served for so many years!
Emperor Xue Ye, sitting on his throne, was first stunned, then turned ashen, and finally deathly pale. He gripped the armrests tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably with rage.
His proud heir was actually a pawn sent by the Spirit Hall! This was an utter disgrace! Even the waters of the Milky Way couldn't wash it away!
Qian Renxue no longer needed to feign anything. Faced with this sudden exposure, her eyes instantly turned icy, but she showed no panic.
She knew that the Spirit Hall's plan had to be brought forward.
"Heh, it seems this charade can't continue."
Qian Renxue snorted lightly, her soul power surging, and Xue Qinghe's disguise melted away like ice and snow, completely revealing her peerless beauty and noble, sacred aura.
Without hesitation, three pairs of pure white wings unfurled behind her, and a sacred aura soared into the sky!
"Stop her!" Emperor Xueye finally recovered from his rage, roaring hoarsely.
Several figures rushed out from the shadows and among the court officials, their soul rings flashing, attempting to stop her.
"If anyone isn't afraid of death and intends to break ties with the Hall of Worship, then come after me!"
But Qian Renxue merely glanced coldly at them, the angelic phantom behind her lightly waving its holy sword.
A barrier of pure divine light instantly formed, easily repelling the onrushing Soul Masters.
With a flap of her wings, she transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards Spirit City without hesitation.
Her speed far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters!
"Chase! Chase her! Kill her without mercy!" Emperor Xue Ye roared, seemingly insane.
However, his order was strangely frozen within the palace.
Everyone stood rooted to the spot, none daring to actually pursue.
The guest elders at the Title Douluo level, especially Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, watched Qian Renxue's retreating figure with complex expressions. He then subconsciously glanced at the other half of the screen above, at the unfathomable Qian Daoliu, who had just received the Heavenly Dao's reward.
Dugu Bo sneered inwardly, "You want me to hunt down the young master of the Spirit Hall, the only granddaughter of Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, for your Heaven Dou Royal Family? I want to live a few more years!"
"I'm not getting involved in this mess."
For a moment, the entire Heaven Dou Royal Palace square could only watch helplessly as the holy light disappeared into the distance, no one daring to cross the line!
Emperor Xue Ye, witnessing this scene, felt a chilling sense of powerlessness instantly overwhelm his anger.
He slumped back onto his throne, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
He understood that it wasn't just that he couldn't keep Qian Renxue; more importantly, this incident had shattered the prestige of the Heaven Dou royal family!
The Spirit Hall's power, due to Qian Daoliu's recent advancement, had reached an unprecedented level!
The influence of a peerless Douluo with unfathomable strength, capable of summoning the phantom of an angel god to fight alongside him, was terrifying!
Even though his granddaughter had usurped imperial power for nearly twenty years, she could still leave so calmly after being exposed in public.
Because everyone knew that harming Qian Renxue meant an irreconcilable conflict with the entire Hall of Worship and that demigod!
No one could afford the price!
Meanwhile, an uproar swept across the Douluo Continent.
Although the Six-Winged Angel Spirit was the inherited spirit of the Qian family of the Hall of Worship, no one had ever dared to publicize it so openly.
Now, with the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, the strength of the Six-Winged Angel was finally revealed—it was a god-level spirit!
This was extremely rare throughout the entire Douluo Continent, far exceeding the definition of a top-tier spirit!
"A six-winged angel is actually a god-level martial soul?! There really are gods in this world!"
"But...but why is a god-level martial soul only ranked twelfth?!"
"Even the martial soul inherited from the Angel God can't make the top ten?! What a joke!"
"Holy crap, that Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is actually from the Spirit Hall? And a woman at that!"
"The Spirit Hall actually inherits a god-level martial soul! No wonder the Spirit Hall is so powerful; they have gods standing behind them!"
"Qian Daoliu's reward is divine equipment tempering and domain sublimation! Qian Renxue's reward is directly related to the divine examination! This is outrageous!"
"The Spirit Hall, is it really going to produce a god?!"
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi's teacup fell to the ground with a "crack," shattering into pieces.
His face was deathly pale, and his body swayed slightly.
"Crown Prince Xue...Xue Qinghe...is Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall?!"
This truth was like a thunderbolt, shattering his long-held plans and trust in the Heaven Dou Empire!
"The Spirit Hall... such deep scheming! Such grand ambition!"
His voice trembled, filled with lingering fear and anger.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong exchanged horrified glances, speechless for a long time.
After a moment, Ning Fengzhi spoke again with a bitter expression, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, our previous worries were probably too optimistic."
Qian Daoliu's strength was already unfathomable, and now with further improvements, Qian Renxue's divine trial progress has accelerated.
The future of the Spirit Hall is no longer just about dominating the continent, but—creating gods!
Chen Xin gripped the Seven Kill Sword tightly. Even though he had become one with the sword, he still felt a heavy pressure from the pure, divine aura:
"A divine-level martial soul, truly extraordinary."
Gu Rong spat: "Pah! So what if it's divine-level! Being ranked twelfth means there are eleven more monstrous ones ahead of us! I refuse to believe that no one in this world can defeat the Spirit Hall!"
"At worst, we can all flee and seek refuge with other forces. I would rather die than become a lackey of the Spirit Hall!"
