Obsession

It was as if countless coldness was gathering towards him, and countless coldness was being released from his body. In this white void, Qianshui was in pain, and at the same time, he also felt this seemingly endless coldness.

　　The cold feeling that shouldn't have appeared still appeared. It was not a real temperature change, but the chill brought by murderous aura.

　　The purest murderous aura quickly invaded Qianshui's body and soul, and every invasion made him tremble.

　　When the coldness solidified, Qianshui finally understood what it was.

　　"The God of Death... Field..."

　　This is a realm, a realm formed by murderous aura.

　　"This is a passive skill engraving that surpasses the spirit ring! A more advanced technique! Is this where... it came from..."

　　I don't know how much time had passed, but when Qianshui woke up from the pain, he felt like a sheep, and his whole body was uncomfortable.

　　"Fifth soul skill, endless life!"

　　After leaving the Slaughter City, Qianshui was finally able to use his soul skills. He used the fifth soul skill that he had not yet fully mastered.

　　Suddenly all the pain disappeared and some hidden injuries were healed.

　　"That's right, only those who have milk are mothers, and healing is the kingly way!"

　　He stood up, twisted his waist, patted his butt out of habit, and Qianshui also checked his own condition.

　　"I'll go…"

　　The moment the soul was summoned and appeared before his eyes, Qianshui understood where the domain of the God of Killing was engraved.

　　"Meridians + soul + spirit = Yuanshen Wuhun, what is this? Fusion into the meridians?"

　　The outwardly manifested primordial spirit has no entity. The points engraved in the Killing God's Domain appear on it as changes in the color of the meridians. Everything seen on the primordial spirit can be said to be a true projection of Qianshui himself.

　　Therefore, he judged that the Killing God Domain was attached to the place where his martial soul was located, where the soul communicated with the spirit and the body, and was also transformed by the martial soul - within the meridians.

　　When he tried to communicate with the invisible yet existing thing attached to him, a wave of energy spread throughout his body.

　　"Is this the Killing God Domain? It doesn't require excessive preparation, precise calculations, or years of training. It is a skill that can be released with just an energy source.

　　A more advanced form of expression than spirit rings and spirit skills!

　　God Shura, or the five great God Kings of the God Realm Committee, maybe you created the martial soul civilization in order to destroy the soul beast race in a justifiable way?"

　　Dragon God War!

　　The soul beasts are the race of the Dragon God. Although the Dragon God was killed, his race has not been destroyed. The fear brought by the Dragon God is enough to make those above the clouds have some ideas.

　　"The age limit and the heavenly tribulation make it impossible to become a god! In addition, the human spirit training method requires the acquisition of spirit rings to advance further. It's just a few moves, and this has laid the foundation for the soul beast's destruction!"

　　Qianshui looked at the sky and murmured to himself, "This is a greenhouse for humans, but a burial place for soul beasts. This is not a god."

　　Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. This may seem sad to people. Am I a dog made of straw? In fact, this is the way of heaven. People and all things are "straw dogs", no matter what they are, there are no exceptions.

　　Qianshui understood this. If he practiced the Way of Heaven, he would eventually follow the path of ruthlessness. It was inevitable that the Way of Heaven was ruthless. If there were real gods, they would inevitably depend on the Way of Heaven and be its executors, just like the Six Saints of Primitive Times.

　　But the gods of Douluo Continent are not like that. They are even more like immortal cultivators who have not yet achieved enlightenment. Their actions are more like those of humans with complex human nature.

　　"God King? This guy can be called a God King, that's all."

　　Qianshui withdrew his gaze from the sky, turned around and left. At this moment, he felt no joy at all about his improved strength.

　　The violent and murderous thoughts that filled his heart, coupled with the inexplicable sense of arrogance, made him uneasy. He always felt that the emptiness in his body needed something to fill it.

　　The frustration and disappointment that made it difficult to control emotions pile up on top of each other, and Qianshui lost control.

　　"Grass!"

　　For a moment, his emotions were out of control, and his soul power exploded, destroying a large amount of the surrounding grass and trees.

　　"Greed, anger, ignorance! Desire! Restraint! They are all strong desires!"

　　The scenes of the people he killed in the City of Slaughter came to his mind, and all kinds of mental shocks followed. "Post-traumatic stress reaction?! Damn!"

　　Qianshui knew about this kind of thing. He thought about it when he killed the first person.

　　But reality is often more terrible than imagination, so terrible that he can't forget the picture! As long as it is related, it will appear in his mind.

　　"Oh! I really don't want my memory to be so good... It turns out that people are really mean. When they need it, they want to remember all the symbols of the text paragraphs, and when they don't need it, they want to cut off all the memory modules!"

　　At this moment, Qianshui missed the pure days when he was running, simple and boring.

　　As I thought about it, I just did it. No matter the direction, I just ran forward.

　　…

　　"You really betrayed the Spirit Hall?"

　　As Xue Qinghe walked out of the reception room and came to what seemed to be his bedroom 

 or study

　　"Your Highness, I think Lingling's existence and my situation do not need any further explanation."

　　Looking at Xue Qinghe, whose body was turned away and only his back could be seen, Yin Jin was speechless.

　　"I mean! Did you! Really! Betray! the! Martial! Soul! Hall!?"

　　When Xue Qinghe asked again, word by word, Yin Jin was shocked to the extreme.

　　The prince of the Tiandou Empire in front of him slowly turned around. As he turned around, his voice changed from a male voice mixed with a female voice to a completely female voice, and his appearance became a familiar person. The blazing sacred aura pressed towards him, and the seven soul rings appeared one by one, like seven huge rocks pressing down on his heart.

　　"You! Are you a traitor?!"

　　The angel's sword pointed directly at Yinjin's neck, exerting pressure on him mercilessly.

　　'Brother Shui! No wonder you practiced so hard! No wonder you came to Tiandou City first but stayed in the Prince's Mansion! No wonder you reacted like that at the beginning!'

　　Qian Renxue took the initiative to expose her identity. Now she only needs to figure out one thing: in Yin Jin's mind, whether Qianshui is greater than the Spirit Hall.

　　In other words, would he rather be loyal to Qianshui or any other party?

　　After understanding Qian Renxue's identity, Yin Jin also understood the logic behind some of Qian Shui's incomprehensible behaviors, like the murderous look in Qian Shui's eyes when he wanted Qian Shui to introduce her to him.

　　"Angel Martial Spirit, surnamed Qian. Miss Qian, can I call you that?"

　　Qian Renxue remained unmoved and looked at Yin Jin calmly.

　　"Spirit Hall Qian Family, I really walked into a trap, but Miss Qian didn't kill me right away. Who was it because of Brother Shui?"

　　"He and I are both younger than you, so we don't deserve to be called brother or sister."

　　Seeing that Yin Jin was not too stupid, Qian Renxue did not scare him anymore. She put away the Angel Sword and Martial Spirit, dodged the steps, and said lightly: "Whether you can survive depends on your next answer."

　　"Understood."

　　"If one day, Qianshui stood against the Spirit Hall, stood against the Heaven Dou Empire, and even stood against the entire spirit master world, the whole world would be his enemy!

　　Do you choose him, or the person opposite him?"

　　"Do I even need to choose?"

　　Yin Jin, on the other hand, said with a hint of pride, "Why do you think I betrayed Spirit Hall? Was it because I couldn't do it to Ling Ling? No! Isn't it enough to just let Ling Ling off the hook? It was only because of him!"

　　"I don't understand how he can be so much younger than the rest of us, yet know so much and be so strong. But regardless of age, maybe it's just like he said, 'The wise are the teachers.' After all these years of getting along with us, who know nothing at all, we've already considered him our teacher!"

　　"Let me ask you, we are not even allowed to kill more soul beasts, we practice equality, and the pain of training has never been reduced. How will Qianshui feel about my indifference to Lingling?!"

　　"If I kill Lingling, I'm afraid Brother Shui will come and kill me himself. If I just let her go, how can I bear to let her be alone as her teacher?!"

　　"Miss Qian! I did betray the Spirit Hall! But I did not betray what Brother Shui taught me! Is this clear enough?"

　　And what responded to him was a heavy punch, "This one is for Qianshui! You are not yet capable of making such a choice! You defected, and the Yin family is the same? Naive!"

　　"If there is no one in the Spirit Hall to protect you, do you think you can escape to Tiandou City?"

　　"But for me, your answer just now is enough. Go to Tiandou Royal Academy. Xue Qinghe will arrange a master-disciple relationship for you."

　　"You're so ruthless... I actually like her, Brother Shui, you're on your own!"

　　Yinjin fell to his knees on the ground, curled up like a cooked shrimp in pain.

　　"Then...thank you, Your Highness!"

　　Qian Renxue was also in a dilemma. Qian Shui sometimes seemed reckless and impulsive, even daring to attack Bibi Dong in public. However, there were clear purposes behind his actions. Even if it meant death, all the consequences were well thought out.

　　Even though the two of them had turned against each other due to poor communication, forcing him into a desperate situation, he still considered the worst-case scenario before making the decision.

　　But Yin Jin is different. He is just a hot-blooded young man. He may value Qianshui and understand how Qianshui will treat him after he makes a decision, but he has no scruples about anything else, such as his family.

　　Qian Renxue guessed that this was probably because Bibi Dong deliberately let it go. Otherwise, based on her usual style, this merchant family should have ceased to exist.
