84: Chapter 84 Soul Sacrifice, Seventh Soul Ring

A few days later, in the Elder Hall.

"Grandfather, you asked me to return, is there something the matter?"

Qian Renxue's figure appeared in the great hall.

A month ago, she suddenly received a secret letter from her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, asking her to return to Spirit City in secret.

She had only recently found a suitable excuse to leave Heaven Dou and traveled day and night to return.

Unlike before, this time she did not go to the Supreme Pontiff Palace first, but came directly to the Elder Hall.

Qian Daoliu was kneeling devoutly before the statue of the Angel God, remaining motionless in his kneeling posture:

"Xue'er, it is Xiao Xuan who has prepared a surprise for you; you will know when you return."

"A-Xuan is looking for me?" A trace of confusion flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, then the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "I understand, Grandfather, I will return now."

Qian Renxue turned and left with a brisk pace, a sense of anticipation rising in her heart.

After two years, Ji Xuan had specifically asked her to rush back to Spirit City; she wondered what kind of surprise he had prepared.

...

When Qian Renxue returned to the manor, Ji Xuan was not yet home.

She sat quietly in the hall waiting, her gaze occasionally turning toward the door.

Until the sun set, the door was pushed open, and Ji Xuan had just returned from the Spirit Hall Academy.

Seeing Ji Xuan, Qian Renxue could no longer suppress the longing in her heart.

She got up and threw herself into Ji Xuan's arms, "A-Xuan, I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." Ji Xuan reached out and held Qian Renxue tightly.

After the two embraced quietly for a moment.

Qian Renxue pulled back slightly and looked up at Ji Xuan: "I heard from Grandfather that you prepared a surprise for me. What is it?"

Ji Xuan smiled mysteriously and took Qian Renxue's hand, "Come with me."

...

The two arrived in a secret room.

When Qian Renxue saw the pink-clad young girl who was imprisoned, she couldn't help but show a puzzled expression: "A-Xuan, who is she? Why is she imprisoned here?"

Ji Xuan explained: "Her name is Xiao Wu, she is a 100,000-year Soft Bones Rabbit that has transformed into human form."

"What!" Qian Renxue's pupils shrank, "A 100,000-year transformed Spirit Beast?"

She looked at the seemingly weak young girl in disbelief, unable to imagine that the other party was actually a 100,000-year Spirit Beast.

Xiao Wu raised her head, her eyes filled with anger, glaring fixedly at Ji Xuan.

Ever since she was captured and brought back to Spirit Hall, she had been locked in this dark, sunless secret room, not knowing how many days and nights had passed.

Cold chains bound her hands and feet, with only deathly silence for company.

Ji Xuan ignored Xiao Wu's gaze and looked at Qian Renxue:

"Xue'er, this is the seventh spirit ring I have prepared for you."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was startled at first, then shook her head repeatedly:

"A-Xuan, this is too precious. You should keep it for yourself to absorb later."

"Rest assured, I know the whereabouts of other 100,000-year Spirit Beasts."

Warmth rose in Qian Renxue's heart: "A-Xuan, thank you for your intentions. It's just that I am only level 68, it is not yet time for me to need a spirit ring. Furthermore, even if I reach level 70, I would not be able to withstand the immense energy of a 100,000-year spirit ring."

Ji Xuan smiled but did not answer, walking straight up to Xiao Wu: "Sacrifice yourself to her."

"In your dreams!" Xiao Wu glared at Ji Xuan, her eyes full of stubbornness, "Even if I die, I will not let you obtain my spirit ring!"

Ji Xuan was unconcerned and just said indifferently: "Xiao Wu, you wouldn't want your Third Brother to get into trouble, would you?"

This sentence exploded in Xiao Wu's ears like a thunderclap.

Tang San's figure instantly appeared in her mind.

Thinking of Ji Xuan's unfathomable strength, and that terrifying elder who could heavily injure Er Ming in one move, Xiao Wu's heart sank completely.

Xiao Wu still thought Tang San was just the son of an ordinary blacksmith, and only level 29.

How could he contend with a behemoth like Spirit Hall?

She absolutely could not let anything happen to Tang San!

I'm sorry, Third Brother... Xiao Wu can no longer accompany you.

Xiao Wu silently said goodbye in her heart, tears sliding down silently.

Although they called each other brother and sister, in her heart, that feeling had long surpassed the bond of siblings.

Xiao Wu's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth: "I can agree to you, but you must swear not to harm Tang San."

"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" Ji Xuan chuckled, "If you do not sacrifice, I will go and take his life right now."

"No! Please don't harm Third Brother!" Xiao Wu cried out, her eyes filled with terror.

Ji Xuan said: "If you behave obediently, I can spare his life for the time being. As long as he doesn't come to provoke me, I won't do anything to him."

Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with tears, her voice choked with sobs:

"I agree... as long as you don't harm Third Brother, I am willing to do anything."

Ji Xuan nodded slightly: "Prepare to begin. Remember, what I want is a Soul Sacrifice."

He did not want a Soul residing within Qian Renxue's spirit ring.

"Also, extract the Spirit Bone separately and condense it into a left leg bone," Ji Xuan added.

Qian Renxue possessed the Angel Legacy Spirit Bone, so naturally, she did not need other Spirit Bones.

"I understand." Xiao Wu's expression was dim, and she kept sobbing.

Soul Sacrifice meant that she would completely burn her own Soul Origin, vanishing into thin air, with no possibility of resurrection.

Ji Xuan did not care in the slightest about Xiao Wu's pitiful appearance.

In his eyes, this was merely a Spirit Beast; he was not like the Tang Clan, who had a special fondness for Spirit Beasts.

Ji Xuan turned and said to Qian Renxue: "Xue'er, prepare to begin."

"O-Okay." Qian Renxue was still in shock.

This was a 100,000-year Spirit Beast sacrifice!

Even she, the Young Lord of Spirit Hall, had never seen it with her own eyes.

And she never expected such a thing to happen to her.

Xiao Wu glanced at Qian Renxue, closed her eyes in despair, and let the tears slide down silently.

"Third Brother, I love you, goodbye."

Dazzling red light began to bloom from Xiao Wu's body, and her Soul Origin began to burn.

Soon, the red light grew stronger and stronger, completely engulfing Xiao Wu.

A beam of red light poured into Qian Renxue's body...

Not long after.

When the spirit ring was completely formed, the Aura around Qian Renxue surged suddenly, and her Soul Power broke through successively, reaching level 72.

A blood-red spirit ring circled beneath her feet, emitting a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

The light of the sacrifice gradually dissipated.

Xiao Wu's figure had completely disappeared, leaving only a left leg bone silently floating in mid-air.

On the ground lay a palm-sized little white rabbit, which had already lost its vitality.

Ji Xuan put away the Spirit Bone and burned the little rabbit to ashes with a fire.

...

Shrek Academy.

Tang San finished a day of training and was meditating in his dormitory.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill circulated steadily through his Meridians, everything appearing exceptionally tranquil.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching, intense pain came from his chest.

Tang San opened his eyes abruptly, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.

He clutched his violently heaving chest, and an unspeakable sense of emptiness and panic swept over his entire body.

This feeling came too suddenly, as if something vital in his life had suddenly disappeared.

"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San subconsciously murmured, Xiao Wu's figure appearing in his mind.

An ominous premonition grew wildly in his heart, making him restless.
