Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Star Dou Forest, Little Treasure
The matter of Qian Daoliu achieving the Golden Core realm was kept a secret between Lu Yunzhou and Qian Renxue. They decided to wait until the recruitment at the Ethereal Sanctuary began before announcing it, using it to boost the reputation of the sanctuary.
Three days later, Lu Yunzhou's second trip to the Star Dou Forest was about to begin.
Unlike last time, there were many more people accompanying him, and each of them was incredibly strong! At the very least, they were all Titled Douluo-level experts!
As she looked up at the cloud ships ascending into the sky, Qian Renxue couldn't help but wonder, her face full of concern. "What exactly is Lu Yunzhou planning to do in the Star Dou Forest this time? Why did he bring so many strong experts? I can understand hunting the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, but aren't they already gone?"
"Then, what are we going there for?"
With this doubt in mind, Qian Renxue followed Lu Yunzhou onto one of the most luxurious cloud ships.
This time, Lu Yunzhou brought along a total of twelve Titled Douluos!
Among them were the nine great elders of the Spirit Hall, as well as the Pope Bibi Dong and her two subordinates, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Twelve Titled Douluos—each of them was powerful enough to establish their own sect or faction, yet Lu Yunzhou was commanding all twelve for his mission, showing just how much importance he placed on this trip to the Star Dou Forest.
"My goodness, not only do cultivators have such incredible abilities and techniques, but I didn't expect their ships could actually fly in the sky!" said Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, examining the cloud ship beneath him with great curiosity, his fingers delicately
pinching his robe.
Upon hearing this, another figure, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, spoke up, his tone filled with awe. "Cultivators truly are as mysterious as the gods themselves. To have met Lord Lu Yunzhou in this lifetime is truly a great fortune for us."
At that moment, the childlike figure of Glowing Feather Douluo, the fifth consecration, also chimed in excitedly, "This is fun! This thing is really fun!"
"By the way, what are we going to do in the Star Dou Forest? I remember the strongest beings there were the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. With so many of us here, are we going to hunt them?"
Glowing Feather Douluo's innocent question was met with a serious reply from the eighth consecration, Devil Bear Douluo, who was recently promoted to the eighth offering. "The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were already dealt with by Lord Lu Yunzhou, so our purpose in the Star Dou Forest this time must be something else."
When the others heard that the two hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts had already been handled by Lu Yunzhou, they were astonished.
"What? The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape have already been… dealt with by Lord Lu Yunzhou? No way!"
"Two hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts, and Lord Lu Yunzhou took care of them just like that? That's too incredible!"
"The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were the kings of the Star Dou Forest, yet they were killed so easily by Lu Yunzhou…"
The shock was palpable as the news spread among the group. These were the two most powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, and to think they were taken down by Lu Yunzhou so effortlessly—it was truly mind-blowing.
Even Bibi Dong, upon hearing this, felt a mix of surprise and displeasure.
Why?
Because she had initially planned to use the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape as soul ring options for her second martial spirit, but now Lu Yunzhou had taken them first. No wonder she was feeling somewhat resentful.
"What's the purpose of going to the Star Dou Forest now? And why bring so many people?"
Bibi Dong's mind was filled with questions, and she couldn't help but feel a growing curiosity about Lu Yunzhou's intentions.
As time passed, Lu Yunzhou's group finally arrived at the outer area of the Star Dou Forest. Just as they were about to enter the core area, Lu Yunzhou suddenly spoke, his voice firm and commanding: "Stop!"
The moment Lu Yunzhou's words were heard, Qian Renxue, who was piloting the cloud ship, immediately halted its movement. The other pilots of the cloud ships followed suit, pausing their vessels as well.
"What's going on, Lord Lu Yunzhou?" Bibi Dong asked, puzzled by his sudden command. Her voice was gentle, with a hint of a flattering tone.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression darkened in annoyance. "That old woman, trying to seduce my man! So annoying!"
Though Qian Renxue only thought this to herself, she couldn't help but feel irritated. Lu Yunzhou then spoke again, offering an explanation for his actions. "There's a little thing down below that has a treasure. And treasure, well, you never turn down a treasure."
When Lu Yunzhou spoke, there was a glimmer of golden light in his deep eyes, the faint shimmer revealing the use of his advanced version of the Thousand Miles Eye technique, the Illusion-Breaking Eye.
With that, Lu Yunzhou took out his signature weapon, the Sky Azure Sword, and leapt from the cloud ship.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong quickly followed suit. Qian Renxue, seeing them both jump, clenched her fists in frustration.
"I shouldn't have been the one to pilot the ship! If I did, this annoying woman wouldn't have followed him!" she thought, fuming.
At that moment, the elders and consecrations aboard the other ships hesitated, wondering if they should follow. Just then, Qian Daoliu's voice rang out, "Wait for Lord Lu Yunzhou to return."
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's command, the elders and offerings responded immediately,
"We will obey the Great Consecration's orders!"
With that, Qian Daoliu took control of the cloud ship's helm and turned to Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er, go and see."
Qian Renxue's heart lifted in excitement.
