Night fell, and Qian Renyue and Chen Xin found a hotel to rest in. Qian Renyue pulled the curtains open a crack, carefully observing the outside, little by little releasing her spiritual power.
Outside the hotel it was frighteningly quiet, the people in this town seemed to have gone to rest early, but they were still hiding at home trembling, muttering something under their breath. Qian Renyue extended her spiritual power over, and listened curiously for a moment.
She only heard a little girl hiding under the covers, hugging herself and crying while murmuring: "Please, great Angel God, protect us. Dad said the great Angel God truly exists, and she will protect the humans on the continent together with Spirit Hall. So, please, Angel God, save us."
Hearing the little girl's prayer, Qian Renyue's heart inevitably softened, and she wrapped the other girl in her spiritual power, calming her down and letting her have a good dream.
Withdrawing her divine sense, Qian Renyue sat down in front of Chen Xin: "Master, what do you think about what that auntie said today about vampires?"
"What do you think?" Chen Xin asked.
"I think there's an eighty percent chance it's evil soul masters causing trouble again. But what would evil soul masters want girls' blood for?" Qian Renyue did not understand.
"The blood of young girls, is very pure. Even if they aren't soul masters, its pure power is what evil soul masters like most. Before the evil soul masters established the Holy Spirit Cult and began experimenting with grafting humans and soul beasts, those who frequently went missing were children and young girls. Very similar to the situation in this small town." Chen Xin explained to Qian Renyue.
"So that's how it is, as long as we deal with the evil soul masters here we should be able to restore peace to the town, right." Qian Renyue's previously anxious heart gradually settled down.
"If it's merely evil soul masters causing trouble, why hasn't the situation here been reported to Spirit Hall, have you thought about that?" Chen Xin asked.
Qian Renyue thought for a moment, pondered briefly and replied: "That auntie from before said, people can only enter here but can't leave, perhaps it's because the news hasn't been able to get out?"
"A town, and such a prosperous town at that, suddenly loses contact, and Spirit Hall doesn't notice, but what about within Star Luo? What about the city lord?"
"Master, you mean, Star Luo and the city lord are colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, and this town is actually a granary the city lord abandoned and handed over to the Holy Spirit Cult?" Qian Renyue angrily slapped the table and rose.
"Since we're here, let's quietly observe how things develop." Chen Xin soothed Qian Renyue.
Qian Renyue sat back down, saying somewhat dejectedly: "Before, when I traveled the continent with my teammates, I thought we'd done very well, and that some evil soul masters no longer dared to act so brazenly. I never expected that in places we don't know about, there are still so many people suffering the ravages of the accursed Holy Spirit Cult."
Chen Xin put down his teacup, looked at Qian Renyue and asked seriously: "Evil soul masters aren't limited to just the Holy Spirit Cult, as long as humans still have greed, as long as darkness and evil exist, evil soul masters will continue to emerge without end. If you want to protect the people of this continent, perhaps it will take your entire life. Even so, are you still willing?"
Qian Renyue shook her head, looked at Chen Xin, and replied seriously: "I've never been some great philanthropist, wanting to protect the continent and all that. That's far too noble, I can't be that selfless. After all, although I inherited from the God of Life, I'm not the God of Kindness. My heart is very very small, it can only hold my family."
Qian Renyue stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the boundless moonlight outside: "The reason I accepted the inheritance of the God of Life and the God of Destruction from the very beginning was because I saw the ending awaiting my family, I couldn't accept it, I wanted to fight for a different ending for them. The members of the Imperial Blade and I did everything we could to strike at evil soul masters, merely to complete the divine trials, so I'd have the ability to protect my family."
"I can't stand those nobles bullying commoners, because the education I once received was different in this regard. Once the Spirit Empire is established in the future, they will all be citizens of our Spirit Empire. I'm merely protecting our citizens in advance on behalf of the Angel God, on behalf of my sister. Striking at the old noble powers of Heaven Dou and Star Luo, is because breaking the noble class is something the Spirit Empire would have to do after its establishment anyway."
"But Master, there is one thing you said that wasn't wrong. I will protect Spirit Hall, protect my family, establish the Spirit Empire together with my mother, and break the monopoly of privileges held by the corrupt noble class. Together with my sister the Angel God, I will eradicate all evil under heaven, and restore peace and harmony to the world."
Chen Xin was so shocked by Qian Renyue's words that he was somewhat speechless, but thinking about it carefully, wasn't this the most genuine Qian Renyue. If Qian Renyue suddenly pointed her sword at the heavens, saying she would swear to protect the continent to the death, Chen Xin would instead find it unrealistic.
Chen Xin looked at Qian Renyue with gratification, and said: "You've always known very clearly how you should walk your path, and you've also found your Dao heart. Since that's the case, don't look back, boldly keep walking forward."
"Of course!" Qian Renyue confidently raised her little head.
"Ah!" A scream suddenly rang out outside.
Qian Renyue turned her head and looked out the window.
"Go." Chen Xin said.
Qian Renyue nodded, jumped directly onto the window, spread six wings behind her, and flew toward the place where the scream had sounded.
When Qian Renyue arrived, she found a person dressed in a black robe directly ahead, their gender impossible to discern. The other party seemed to sense Qian Renyue's arrival, and loosened their embrace. A female desiccated corpse fell from their arms.
The other party stared fixedly at Qian Renyue, eyes reddening.
"Are you an evil soul master from the Holy Spirit Cult?" Qian Renyue asked in a deep voice.
"So fragrant." A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the other party. From the voice, Qian Renyue could tell that the other party seemed to be an old woman.
"Fragrant? You mean my blood?" someone else murmured.
Seeing that the other party seemed somewhat wary of her, Qian Renyue lightly cut her palm, and fresh blood flowed from her palm.
When the other party smelled Qian Renyue's blood, she suddenly became agitated, red light blazing in her eyes.
"Come on, don't you want to come have a taste?" Qian Renyue enticed.
The black-robed old woman opposite stretched out one hand, once again letting out a hoarse and unpleasant voice: "Give it to me, hurry and give it to me."
"If you want it, then come over." Qian Renyue softened her voice, enticing her again. Not knowing what the other party's abilities were, Qian Renyue did not choose to act rashly. Instead, she chose to lure the enemy forward.
Seemingly no longer able to endure the scent of Qian Renyue's blood, she chose to stop holding back, a pair of black wings growing from her back, and rapidly flew toward Qian Renyue.
Just as the black-robed old woman was about to get close, a cry came from the distance, and the black-robed old woman immediately stopped short, flying without the slightest hesitation toward the place where the cry had sounded. No longer paying any attention to the tempting Qian Renyue behind her.
Qian Renyue withdrew the Dragon's Roar Divine Sword, staring fixedly into the distance. She had a premonition, the person who had made that cry was the culprit behind this incident. And the other party, was not simple.
