The members of the Empire's Blade team rested for half a month in the Principality of Riverio. During this time, Pope Bibi Dong also sent people to take over all the affairs of the Spirit Hall branch in this region. Everything in the Principality of Riverio was developing in a positive direction.
That day, Qian Renyue received a letter from the Spirit Hall, saying that traces of what appeared to be the Holy Spirit Cult had been discovered in Soto City of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Soto City? Isn't that Shrek Academy's hometown?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously as she looked at the letter.
"Shrek Academy's hometown?" Xie Yue asked curiously.
"Yes, my sister and I joined Shrek Academy in Soto City, and we met Tang San and the others at the Rose Hotel in Soto City." Ning Rongrong nodded.
"Interesting? Could this Holy Spirit Cult be related to Shrek Academy again?" Yan said with some ill intent.
"Who knows?" Dugu Yan shrugged.
"Alright, we'll find out when we get there. Everyone, get ready, we're leaving tomorrow," Qian Renyue said to the group, then looked at Hu Liena, who had been silent and frowning. "Nana, is something wrong?"
Hu Liena paused, shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, I feel uneasy, I have a bad feeling. We've destroyed several of the Holy Spirit Cult's hideouts, killed so many of their powerful members, even elders, and yet the Holy Spirit Cult hasn't made a move at all? Your Highness, I have a bad feeling."
"Sister, aren't you worrying too much?" Xie Yue gently patted Hu Liena's back. Hu Liena shook her head.
"Is your premonition very strong?" Qian Renyue looked into Hu Liena's eyes and asked seriously.
Hu Liena frowned, then nodded hesitantly.
"Rumor has it that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox has the ability to foresee the future," Qian Renyue said, then addressed everyone, "Inform Elder Ju and Elder Gui that our journey to Soto City is imperative, but we must also pay attention to Nana's words. We need to replan our route. Xie Yue, go and summon the two elders."
Xie Yue glanced at Hu Liena, nodded to Qian Renyue, and went out to find Elders Ju and Gui.
Qian Renyue looked at Hu Liena's expression, pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said to Hu Liena, "Nana, go and inform the elders of the Hall of Offerings to come and meet us."
Hu Liena looked at Qian Renyue in shock: "It's not certain yet. Isn't informing the elders of the Hall of Offerings a bit too much?"
Qian Renyue looked at everyone and smiled, saying, "The elders of the Hall of Offerings are not only my grandfathers, Qian Renyue's grandfathers, but also the elders of the Spirit Hall. We are the most talented and powerful of the younger generation of the Spirit Hall, the future of the Spirit Hall. Protecting us for our safety is nothing, don't feel too much pressure."
"It's just that having the elders personally come to protect us juniors feels a bit unreal," Yan scratched his head.
"Or how about having His Holiness the Pope come personally?" Qian Renyue teased Yan.
"It would be an honor to meet the elders," Yan immediately sat up straight and answered seriously.
"Alright, everyone go back and rest. We're setting off tomorrow, and there might be a big battle ahead, so make sure you're all well-rested, just in case," Qian Renyue said to the group.
"Yes!"
The next morning.
The members of the Empire's Blade embarked on their journey to the next destination. As they exited the city gates, cheers erupted outside the carriage.
It was the people who had been rescued from within the city who had come to see them off. Seeing the genuine gratitude in the people's eyes and the simple, heartfelt fruits and vegetables in their hands, the members of the Empire's Blade exchanged glances and then smiled proudly.
"Your Highness, go say a few words, everyone's waiting for you," Hu Liena gently nudged Qian Renyue, who was blushing and about to pretend to be dead.
Amidst the cheers, Qian Renyue stepped forward. Seeing everyone's heartfelt gratitude, Qian Renyue smiled sincerely.
"Thank you all for coming to see us off. I hope you will continue to support our Spirit Hall and His Majesty the Angel God." After saying this, Qian Renyue bowed to everyone and immediately climbed back into the carriage.
"Spirit Hall! Spirit Hall! Spirit Hall!"
"Angel God! Angel God! Angel God!"
Amidst the cheers, the members of the Empire's Blade rode away from the Star Luo Empire.
After a long while, Yan withdrew his protruding head and said to everyone, "In about a quarter of an hour, we will reach the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, and officially leave the Star Luo Empire to return to the Heaven Dou Empire."
After all, everyone had spent more time in the Heaven Dou Empire, and they missed it somewhat.
"I wonder how my sister is doing." Qian Renyue sighed and looked out the window. Having been away for so long, she missed her mother and sister, as well as her handsome grandfather and the other grandfathers.
"We'll go back after we finish this assessment," Hu Liena comforted her.
Just as everyone was talking, the originally clear sky outside suddenly turned into a thick cloud cover, with sand and stones flying everywhere.
Qian Renyue was momentarily dazed, then murmured, "It really is similar, just like when Tang Hao was chasing us that day."
Ning Rongrong paused, then said, "It's still different. Back then, we were powerless to fight back. Now, it's like a victory delivered to our doorstep."
"Hahaha, Rongrong is right." Qian Renyue laughed as she stood up. "Let's go, companions, let's see what preparations the Holy Spirit Cult has made for their surprise attack!"
The members of the Empire's Blade team all stood up, following behind Qian Renyue, their fighting spirit high.
"Young man, is it you who killed several elders of my Holy Spirit Cult?" A black-robed old man with black wings on his back asked in a hoarse voice.
Qian Renyue looked at the black-robed man and replied with a smile, "That's right, it was me. Not just me, but my companions as well."
"Young man, you're quite arrogant. You don't really think you're invincible just because you killed a few elders of our Holy Spirit Cult, do you?" The black-robed old man laughed mockingly.
"Of course not, after all, our Spirit Hall is the most powerful force on the continent. A cult? Do you have a god? We do!" Qian Renyue spread her six wings, flew into the sky, and pointed her long sword directly at the black-robed elder. "Qian Renyue, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, is here by divine decree to slay evil! A mere cult hiding in a dark corner, rotting and stinking, dares to call itself a cult? Utterly laughable."
"Arrogant brat! Today, this will be your burial ground!" the black-robed elder shouted shrilly. His black wings flapped behind him, and his ten long, black fingernails reached straight for Qian Renyue. "Remember, today, the one who will end you is the Second Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Raven Douluo!"
Sensing the aura of the opponent, Qian Renyue's expression also turned serious. A level 97 Title Douluo was the strongest Title Douluo she had ever faced. Qian Renyue looked up at Raven Douluo, her eyes filled with a frenzied fighting spirit.
