When the Jiang Long(Falling Devil Douluo) summoned the Coiled Dragon Staff, he was surprised to find that after completing the martial soul fusion technique with Qin Xuan, the soul power bottleneck in his body, which had been dormant for years and seemed impossible to break through, showed signs of loosening. He looked at his disciple with a hint of affection in his eyes.
The bitterness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by excitement and joy that was almost beyond words.
With a creak, the door of the Elders' Hall opened.
Qianxunji, wearing a nine-curve purple gold crown and golden armor robe, strode in with the grace of a dragon and tiger. Behind him were two personal guards and twelve cardinals. The cardinals split into two rows outside the hall, while the two guardian Douluo followed him in.
[Ding, the opposing character Qianxunji is detected. Do you want to bind?]
"Bind," Qin Xuan murmured.
[Ding, binding successful.]
"Your Holiness."
Qianxunji entered the hall, and Juegui and the others immediately knelt and greeted him respectfully.
"Get up," Qianxunji said calmly, though not harshly.
To him, everyone below the Titled Douluo was insignificant, but Juegui was different. With martial soul fusion skills and being a level 89 Soul Douluo, Juegui was close to becoming a Titled Douluo, making him noteworthy.
However, when his gaze fell on Qin Xuan, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
[Qianxunji's Resentment +18888]
[Qianxunji's Resentment +28888]
[Qianxunji's Resentment +28888]
This guy really lives up to his reputation as Douluo's number one pervert. He didn't say a word, yet he gave me 60,000 to 70,000 emotion points. Qin Xuan sighed internally.
At the same time, he wondered if he really had to kneel.
As he struggled, Qian Daoliu's voice reached him, "Xuan'er, you are a disciple of Jiang Jun and Jiang Long and of the same generation as Ji'er. You don't need to kneel. You can call each other brothers in private."
The six great priests and Yue Guan were stunned, but quickly reassured themselves after recalling the recent martial soul fusion technique.
Qin Xuan, with his talents, had defeated the level 89 Soul Douluo Juhua without using soul skills, and his ability to perform martial soul fusion skills at the Soul King level with the Seventh Lord Falling Devil Douluo was commendable.
On the other hand, Qianxunji and his personal guards looked visibly displeased.
They knew that Qian Daoliu had high expectations for Qin Xuan, but they didn't anticipate that he would be treated on par with the Pope. Why? Just because he had five spirit rings and was a disciple of Jiang Jun and Jiang Long?
Qianxunji, knowing how to handle things, agreed but remained surprised.
"Great Priest, how can Qin Xuan be worthy of being called a brother by His Holiness the Pope? This is truly too much for me. Please retract your order," Qin Xuan said, feigning humility.
Humph! At least you have some self-awareness. Qianxunji snorted internally and avoided the topic. "Father, I came to congratulate you. Just now..."
Before Qianxunji could finish, Qian Daoliu interjected, "Do you think I was joking?"
He narrowed his eyes at Qianxunji. Qian Daoliu had seen Qin Xuan's strength and talent and was considering training him as a new generation of angel gods for the Qian family.
But his own son was lowering his status for a woman and targeting the genius of the Spirit Hall.
"I don't dare."
"Qin Xuan doesn't dare."
Both Qianxunji and Qin Xuan nodded and clasped their fists.
"Good," Qian Daoliu said, looking at Qin Xuan. "Xuan'er, why don't you call him brother?"
"Brother," Qin Xuan said, nodding and clasping his fists, then turned to Qian Xunji.
"Second brother," Qian Xunji responded, stepping forward to support his father.
"Brother!"
"Second brother!"
"Brother!"
"Second brother!"
"Ha ha."
They exchanged greetings and laughed, though secretly they were jealous and had their own agendas. Qin Xuan wanted to eliminate Qian Xunji, who was unaware of his place on Qin Xuan's kill list.
Seeing this, the seven great priests nodded with satisfaction. With them now being brothers, Qian Daoliu hoped Ji'er would not act foolishly. He said to Qianxun, "Since you've acknowledged Xuan'er as your brother, you should show your appreciation."
"Xuan'er is going to the Slaughter City for training. How about giving him the wisdom skull you obtained from the 50,000-year-old soul beast you killed?"
Qian Daoliu's wishful thinking clashed with reality. From the moment Qin Xuan entered the Pope's Palace and requested Qian Xunji to marry Bibi Dong, he was already on Qian Xunji's kill list. Similarly, Qin Xuan knew Qian Xunji would not spare him.
Qianxunji agreed without hesitation. His generosity surprised even the two Douluo guards, who were amazed to see such a precious item given away so easily.
Though the wisdom skull was valuable, Qianxunji had a better angel suit head soul bone and felt it better to give it to Qin Xuan than to let it gather dust. This way, he could deal with a rival for Bibi Dong and curry favor with his father and other priests.
