“Hiss!”
Qian Daoliu felt as if countless needles had been stuck into his brain.
He clutched his head and opened his eyes.
Then, he froze completely.
Because this was not the familiar Angel God temple.
It was a strange forest.
“What is going on?”
Qian Daoliu was a bit bewildered.
His first reaction was not to consider where he was, but to quickly check his own condition.
His cultivation was still there, and the six pieces of the Angelic Spirit Bone set inside his body were still there.
The Angelic Sacred Sword inside his storage spirit tool was also still there.
Qian Daoliu let out a sigh of relief, then immediately fell into deep thought.
He remembered that he had just completed the eighth trial of the Angel God and finally achieved a Breakthrough to Limit Douluo, but then he suddenly fainted and appeared here.
“Tang Chen?”
“Could it be that guy who ambushed me?”
A guess popped into Qian Daoliu’s mind.
After all, in his view, the only person in the current World with the strength to knock him unconscious was Tang Chen.
However, Qian Daoliu quickly overturned his own guess.
Because he had been rivals with Tang Chen for decades, he knew Tang Chen’s character well; he should be above resorting to an ambush.
Moreover, he had just achieved a Breakthrough to Limit Douluo at that time.
Tang Chen, who was only level 98, absolutely could not have bypassed his perception to launch a sneak attack.
“Tsk.”
Qian Daoliu was extremely depressed.
He hated the feeling of things spiraling out of his control, yet he had absolutely no clue what was going on.
He stood up from the ground, deciding not to think about what was going on for now.
He had to first figure out where he was, and then return to Martial Soul Hall to plan his next move.
Qian Daoliu extended his Divine Thought, instantly covering a radius of several dozen li.
His expression immediately became strange.
Because he realized he had no idea where this was.
But that wasn’t right.
He had traveled across almost the entire Douluo Continent before.
Unless it was overseas, it could be said that there was nowhere he hadn’t been, so why did he have absolutely no impression of this place?
“This won’t do.
I need to find someone to ask.”
Qian Daoliu had a bad feeling.
He spread three pairs of golden wings behind his back and immediately prepared to leave the forest and head toward a nearby city.
After flying about a hundred li.
Suddenly, he sensed a highly repulsive and filthy aura.
“Fallen Ones?”
Qian Daoliu turned his head and stared in one direction.
Having inherited the glory of the Angel, he absolutely would not allow any Fallen Ones to exist within his sight.
Without further thought, he immediately transformed into a ray of golden light and vanished from where he stood.
In the blink of an eye, Qian Daoliu arrived at the place where the filthy aura was coming from.
He saw a group of black-robed men holding swords and blades, laughing loudly as they surrounded a carriage.
Several dried corpses were already lying on the ground, clearly having had their blood drained completely.
The strength of the black-robed men varied; the highest was a Spirit Emperor, and the lowest was a Spirit Elder.
“Don’t come over!”
A voice filled with sobs came continuously from the carriage.
However, those black-robed men remained unmoved, spouting all sorts of obscenities.
“Damn it, as expected, male blood tastes the worst; it reeks.
Female blood is the most wonderful, just like fine wine.”
“Come out quickly, little lady, hahahaha!
I will definitely cherish you well.
I’ll enjoy your body first, then your blood.
It’ll be heavenly!”
“Don’t struggle anymore…”
Listening to these words, endless killing intent flashed in Qian Daoliu’s golden pupils.
He didn’t understand; Martial Soul Hall clearly exterminated Fallen Ones regularly, so why were there still such arrogant Fallen Ones?
He didn’t hesitate.
He flashed in front of those black-robed men and pointed a finger.
Several beams of pure golden light shot from his fingertips, directly piercing through the heads of all the black-robed men.
Those black-robed men couldn’t even put up a fight.
The next second, the corpses began to emit thick black smoke and were completely purified.
“Hmph!”
Qian Daoliu was very dissatisfied with this.
Upon returning to Martial Soul Hall, he had to thoroughly investigate who was in charge of this area.
To allow a group of Fallen Ones to grow and harm innocent people was a crime that deserved death.
“The Fallen Ones have been dealt with by this old man.
Come out, I have something to ask you.”
Qian Daoliu suppressed his anger, turned around, and said to the carriage.
After waiting for a moment, a young girl carefully poked her head out from the carriage.
Only after confirming that the black-robed men were all dead did she dare to come out.
Then, she hurriedly bowed to Qian Daoliu: “Thank you, benefactor, for your help!”
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the girl.
A level 32 Spirit Elder, looking about a dozen or so years old, with short ink-green hair and a petite figure.
She was also holding a sphere with a strange design.
“Little girl, this old man has a few questions for you.”
Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, his tone gentle.
Hearing this, the girl frowned slightly, feeling a bit bewildered.
This benefactor looked to be only in his twenties.
Why did he refer to himself as “this old man”?
And call her “little girl”?
Could it be that the benefactor was a Titled Douluo capable of eternal youth?
The girl thought it was possible.
After all, the strength of the black-robed men just now was not low, yet the benefactor had dealt with them so easily, which was enough to prove his great strength.
Thinking this, her expression became increasingly respectful.
She bowed to Qian Daoliu again: “Please ask, benefactor.
I will certainly tell you everything I know, without holding anything back!”
“Where is this place?” Qian Daoliu went straight to the point.
The girl frowned, but still replied: “This is the Mingdou Mountain Range, located at the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.”
Qian Daoliu was completely confused.
Mingdou Mountain Range?
Did the continent have such a place?
What on earth was the Sun Moon Empire?
The only thing he could understand was the Star Luo Empire.
“That can’t be right.
This old man has only ever heard of the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
I have never heard of the Sun Moon Empire, and the Mingdou Mountain Range is also unheard of.
Do you dare to deceive me?”
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes, locked onto the girl, and emitted an invisible sense of oppression.
The girl shrank her neck, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
She hurriedly explained: “How could I possibly deceive you, benefactor?
This is indeed the Mingdou Mountain Range!”
“The Mingdou Mountain Range is a mountain range that formed two thousand years ago after the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided.”
“The Sun Moon Empire is the only Empire on the Sun Moon Continent.”
“As for the Tiandou Empire you just mentioned, if I remember correctly, it split into two Empires four thousand years ago: the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Douling Empire.”
The girl appeared very flustered.
She hurriedly said everything she knew.
“Uh…”
At this moment, Qian Daoliu only felt that his worldview had been severely impacted.
He knew every word the girl said, so why couldn’t he understand them when put together?
Two thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided?
Four thousand years ago, the Tiandou Empire split?
What in the World was all this?
He even suspected that something was wrong with his ears.
Qian Daoliu frowned tightly.
The ominous feeling in his heart gradually expanded.
He asked again.
“Then do you know where Martial Soul Hall is?”
