"Grandpa Ju, back when the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin was captured, you and Grandpa Ghost should have both been involved, right?" Qian Renyue asked Yue Guan as they hurried along the way.
"Yes, back then I followed the previous Pope with Old Ghost. I participated in the whole operation," Yue Guan answered truthfully.
"Do you still remember how the Spirit Hall learned about the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Blue Silver Emperor?"
"Seems like someone sent a message to the Spirit Hall. They saw a strange human… perhaps the form of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast." Time had passed over a decade, and Yue Guan had to strain his memory.
"Someone sent a message? If I remember correctly, the Blue Silver Emperor was already in adulthood, right?" Qian Renyue asked, puzzled.
"Indeed, she was mature. When we captured her, she had been in the adult stage for quite some time. Hidden in the human world, no one would have discovered her soul beast form unless someone deliberately reported it."
"Interesting… a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in adulthood, mysteriously reported to the Spirit Hall. And her location happened to be revealed at the most vulnerable time—during childbirth," Qian Renyue sneered. Having read the original story, she had always been suspicious. Now, knowing more details, she increasingly suspected that Ah Yin's death was orchestrated by Tang Hao.
Perhaps Ah Yin's post-sacrifice despair wasn't grief over losing a wife, but guilt and regret. If so, everything made sense.
"Your Highness means…?" Yue Guan asked hesitantly, sensing what she was implying.
"I suspect that the sacrifice of the Blue Silver Emperor was all orchestrated by Tang Hao," Qian Renyue said in a low voice.
"That's terrifying… that was his wife, the mother of his children," Yue Guan said in disbelief.
"It's not certain yet. We'll investigate further when we return," Qian Renyue shook her head, putting the thought aside.
Valleys, pools, waterfalls… the original story didn't specify the exact name of the place. Qian Renyue relied on memory to search slowly. But after checking many places, none matched.
Opening the map, they couldn't stray far from Saint Soul Village to remain accessible to Tang Hao, nor too far from Star Dou, since Xiao Wu and Tang San had separated nearby back then.
Even so, many locations still fit the criteria. Frustrated at not finding the exact spot and unwilling to waste her effort, Qian Renyue scratched her head.
"There's still time. Take it slow; we'll find it," Yue Guan comforted her.
"Got it!" Qian Renyue suddenly thought of an elder brother who could help.
She quickly took out the black scale given by Di Tian, channeled soul power, and began summoning the Black Dragon.
After a moment, the sky darkened. Di Tian impatiently poked his head out. "What is it?"
Yue Guan tensed and quickly shielded Qian Renyue, but she tugged gently at his sleeve to signal she was fine, then stepped out from behind him.
Qian Renyue said to Di Tian, "Please help sense if anywhere nearby is sealed by a Title Douluo or if a Blue Silver Emperor seed is hidden."
"A Blue Silver Emperor seed?" Di Tian asked, puzzled.
"Yes. She was originally a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in human form, then tricked by a man and sacrificed. But due to her unique nature, she left behind a seed, which that wretched man hid," Qian Renyue said indignantly.
"Alright, but you mustn't be tempted by her soul rings. The Blue Silver Emperor's special ability is useful to the master, even if she was a foolish traitor," Di Tian said after thinking, laying down conditions.
"Of course. I have the god-granted soul rings to absorb, and now I have the power of creation. I don't need to hunt soul beasts anymore. We agreed on this from the start, didn't we?" Qian Renyue said calmly.
"Fine, I trust you," Di Tian said, closing his eyes to sense.
In a moment, Di Tian detected the presence of the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, though his expression was grim.
Following Di Tian, Qian Renyue and Yue Guan arrived at the waterfall where Tang Hao had hidden Ah Yin.
"Valley, pool, waterfall… this must be the place," Qian Renyue said excitedly, recognizing the scenery from the story.
"The one you're looking for is behind the waterfall," Di Tian said.
"Grandpa Ju, let's go," Qian Renyue said, flying toward the waterfall.
Before Yue Guan could unleash his martial soul, Qian Renyue lightly swung the Dragon Roar Divine Sword. The waterfall was sliced in half, the destructive power spreading, yet even the falling water struggled to reunite.
They arrived at the stone door behind the waterfall.
"It's a Title Douluo seal, hard for ordinary people to break," Yue Guan observed.
"It should be set by Tang Hao. Grandpa Ju, can it be opened?" Qian Renyue asked.
"Yes, but it will take some time."
"Let me handle it. Don't waste time," Di Tian said impatiently.
"Please," Qian Renyue said, naturally pleased to have Di Tian act. The more time wasted, the more chance Tang Hao had to return. It was better to silently take Ah Yin and make him furious. Tang San stole his herbs, so she'd steal Tang San's "mom" in return—tit for tat.
With a wave of his hand, Di Tian easily removed the seal, and the stone door shattered.
Sunlight poured into the dim chamber, revealing a frail Blue Silver Emperor struggling to survive.
"Unthinkable… the once magnificent Blue Silver Emperor reduced to this," Yue Guan sighed. He had seen Ah Yin before her sacrifice. Now she barely clung to life in a narrow, sunless stone room.
Yue Guan increasingly believed Qian Renyue's suspicion. If Tang Hao truly loved Ah Yin, why would he cut off her chance of revival, leaving the woman he loved in such a confined space? Being a lover of flora, Yue Guan couldn't help but feel pity for Ah Yin.
Seeing the weakened Blue Silver Emperor, Di Tian's expression darkened. Qian Renyue seemed to understand, remaining silent. She approached a mechanism, retrieved the ten-thousand-year soul bone of the Blue Silver Emperor, and placed it into a soul device.
"Di Tian, let's leave first. Tang Hao will sense the seal has been broken soon. I know a place suitable for Ah Yin to recuperate. As for the rest, we'll deal with it later," Qian Renyue said, putting some soil into a delicate jade box and gently transplanting Ah Yin into it.
"Let's go to the Ice-Fire Two Poles Eye; it's suitable for the Blue Silver Emperor to grow and relatively safe," she said, ready to leave.
"This is a one-time exception! I am not your guide!" Di Tian huffed, flaring up, but followed.
The black space fissure vanished. The three disappeared, leaving the chamber in disarray. The waterfall returned, as if nothing had happened.
"Tang Hao will sense the seal broken and come back to check. We should leave a Yan Wang Talisman of Tang San there to teach him a lesson," Qian Renyue said with a hint of satisfaction.
"But that boy's hidden weapon is indeed dangerous. We need a solution," Yue Guan said, still uneasy from the memory of Shi Nian turning into black water that day.
"Yes, the rare metals are already in place. We thought with the Ice-Fire Two Poles Eye in our control, Tang San couldn't refine anything dangerous, yet he found a loophole," Qian Renyue sighed.
"Little girl, tell me about the Blue Silver Emperor," Di Tian said.
Qian Renyue sighed, indulging the old dragon's curiosity, and recounted the story of a headless plant being deceived in the human world, losing her soul rings and soul bones.
At the end, she patted Di Tian's shoulder seriously. "When you return, tell this story three times a day to your little one, San Yan Jin Ni. Teach him that human men cannot be trusted and not to sacrifice themselves to a wretched man."
Di Tian agreed solemnly, then felt uneasy, glared at Qian Renyue, and disappeared.
Qian Renyue, feeling wronged, said to Yue Guan, "Grandpa Ju, he glared at me! Did I say something wrong? That old dragon even glared at me."
Yue Guan seemed to understand but chose not to say anything, comforting her: "He's embarrassed and angry. Don't mind him. How will you deal with the Blue Silver Emperor?"
Qian Renyue opened the jade box, revealing the ten-thousand-year right leg bone. "Grandpa Ju, compared to the Blue Silver Emperor, this is more important."
"Ten-thousand-year soul bone!" Yue Guan exclaimed, immediately closing the lid to block its light and suppress his own desire.
"Silly girl, how can you casually take such a treasure? Can you absorb it? If so, find a place to absorb it; I'll protect you," Yue Guan said. Even he would be tempted by such a relic.
Qian Renyue shook her head. "My god exam rewards a soul bone suited for me. My sister has the angel god inheritance. Mom's martial soul isn't suitable to absorb a Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone. Grandpa Ju, this is for you."
Yue Guan was stunned, hands trembling, unable to respond to the pure-hearted child. Tears welled up as he muttered angrily, "Such a treasure… an old man like me doesn't deserve it. I suggest giving it to Ning Rongrong. The future of the Spirit Hall belongs to your generation. In the Empire Blade Squad, only you and Ning Rongrong are suitable. If you make the better choice, leave it to her. Then the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will favor you even more."
"But Grandpa Ju…" Qian Renyue began.
Yue Guan interrupted, fearing he'd be tempted to absorb it: "Put it away. Let's not draw attention. Let's head to the Ice-Fire Two Poles Eye."
Qian Renyue returned the soul bone to the soul device, saying nothing. She decided to find better ways to care for her Spirit Hall elders later.
Ice-Fire Two Poles Eye
"Yan Yan, Poison Douluo senior," Qian Renyue and Yue Guan arrived and landed before Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
"You can call me Grandpa. Don't make it awkward calling me Poison Douluo Senior," Dugu Bo laughed.
"Alright, then I won't refuse, Grandpa Poison," Qian Renyue said respectfully.
Dugu Bo laughed heartily. He liked this little girl—humble, polite, never arrogant.
"Grandpa Poison, Yan Yan… how's the investigation? Was it stolen?" Qian Renyue asked, getting to the point.
Their faces darkened. Dugu Bo hesitated, so Dugu Yan spoke.
"Our investigation shows that outsiders did sneak in. For some reason, the large number of herbs you took grew back quickly."
"On the surface, the pharmacy looked unchanged, but many herbs were missing, especially the sacred herbs marked by Elder Ju. Xiangsi Duanchang Red was gone too," Dugu Yan said angrily. Knowing who stole them but unable to act was infuriating.
Hearing this, Yue Guan's face turned black.
"Tang San! Don't let me catch you," Yue Guan said, full of hate.
"There will be a chance. Whatever he took, he must give back," Qian Renyue said angrily.
"According to our investigation, here's what happened…" Dugu Yan explained. Tang San had discovered the place by coincidence, and with greed and the help of the Sea God, he successfully obtained many sacred herbs.
Back then, the six Shrek freaks went to the Sunset Forest under Frand's guidance to get soul rings. Tang San wanted to absorb the fourth ten-thousand-year ring for the tournament. By coincidence, he found this herb shop.
Faced with the sudden treasure, he absorbed the Octagonal Profound Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot, training in the Ice-Fire Two Poles Eye. Ultimately, he improved his physique and absorbed the fourth ten-thousand-year ring.
Before leaving, Tang San had planned to steal all the herbs but saw Dugu Bo concocting poison pills. For safety, he only took a few sacred herbs and fled.
"Tang San's matter can be dealt with later. We'll settle it," Qian Renyue said, transplanting the Blue Silver Emperor near the Ice-Fire Two Poles Eye.
Once in the soil, the once frail Blue Silver Emperor grew rapidly.
Half a moment later, its leaves reached arm thickness. Satisfied, it swayed in the wind like a content child.
Qian Renyue gently patted the Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around her waist. "Don't worry, he won't find this place. Train well here. I'll return next time."
Ah Yin clung to her, so Qian Renyue sighed, gathering the Light of Life, accelerating its growth.
"Digest well. Next time I'll visit. If you want revenge, train hard. Revenge depends on you. Good luck."
With Ah Yin's reluctant gaze following her, Qian Renyue returned to the Tian Dou Empire to continue watching the tournament.
