When Xiao Qiang punched her and sent her flying backwards, Zhang Lexuan was completely dizzy.

She had seen Xiao Qiang defeat the Soul Emperor two years ago and knew that Xiao Qiang would not be easy to deal with. However, she did not expect that only two years had passed and she, a Soul Douluo with a hundred thousand year soul ring, would not be his opponent.

With his spirit in the true form and his 100,000-year spirit skills, even an ordinary Title Douluo shouldn't be able to defeat him so easily. Can Shrek really win the All-Continent High-level Spirit Master Competition in the future? Zhang Lexuan felt that it seemed unlikely.

"What's wrong, Palace Master?"

When the wall of Xiao Qiang's office was broken through, Mu Qingxue and several elders from the Soul Palace walked in to check the situation.

"Nothing. She was a little restless and wanted to attack me, so I fought back and that's how it became. Let's take her to get treated first, but remember to put the soul-limiting collar on her to prevent her from doing anything else."

"Leave it to me."

Mu Qingxue took on the task, and then quickly buckled the collar around Zhang Lexuan's neck and dragged her away by force. The way Zhang Lexuan was dragged on the ground with her neck strangled showed that the relationship between the two was not ordinary bad. Almost everyone could see that Mu Qingxue was seeking revenge.

"Palace Master, is it really okay for the chief priest to treat her like this? After all, she is the great-granddaughter of Master Kong. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Master Kong if we treat her like this." A senior elder from the Soul Palace said with some concern.

"She was about to attack me when she untied the collar. Mr. Kong thinks that what I did was wrong. I can compensate you, but since you handed the person to me but didn't follow my rules, then you should take the person back to me."

Xiao Qiang said forcefully that there was no room for negotiation on how to treat Zhang Lexuan. Kong Deming, who had not read the original novel of Unrivaled Tang Sect, did not understand what was going on with Shrek, but Xiao Qiang knew what was going on with Shrek and Zhang Lexuan.

Whether in terms of the length of time she has been bound to Shrek or the depth of her bond with Shrek, she is the type that cannot be won over. In addition, she is not of pure ice attribute like Ling Luochen, and she cannot be pulled along by the emotions dominated by Xiao Qiang. In this case, finding a reason to send Zhang Lexuan back is the best option for Xiao Qiang.

"I understand."

After the elder finished speaking, several soul masters who were proficient in construction came over and repaired Xiao Qiang's office, and then Xiao Qiang stayed there quietly alone.

He could understand why Kong Deming did this. Although he had supported the Kong family over the years, his descendants were really disappointing. If he had a grandchild who could be a regular player in these two Continental Advanced Soul Master Competitions, Zhang Lexuan would not have been forced to seek medical help from Old Man Kong in such a desperate situation.

Although Master Kong possessed a large amount of resources, even if those descendants borrowed Master Kong's resources, due to their insufficient talent and lack of effort, the entire family could barely produce a Titled Douluo relying on the accumulation of resources a hundred years after Master Kong. However, the probability of that Titled Douluo's achievement would be lower than that of Invincible Douluo.

In the eyes of Xiao Qiang, who has a God's perspective, a hundred thousand year soul can only be used for transition at best. But in the eyes of others, the ability to absorb and fuse three hundred thousand year soul rings when forming the seventh soul ring, not to mention the existence of a hundred thousand year soul ring alone, is something that can definitely change one's destiny and is as great a favor as the grace of rebirth.

Xiao Qiang planned to let Bai Qingshan, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen fuse the hundred thousand year souls when they had the sixth soul ring. That was because they or their families had done favors for Xiao Qiang, and anything based on Xiao Qiang's own gratitude would not constitute a great favor, and there would be no irreconcilable hatred between them later.

But the relationship between Kong Lao and Xiao Qiang is not that of an angel investor, nor is it that of a Round A investor. He is not even an investor. When Xiao Qiang met him, Xiao Qiang, who had obtained the full support of the Hongchen family, already had everything he needed. The relationship between the two sides was just that of a master and his disciple, a relationship that was somewhat related but not much. Otherwise, with a large amount of immortal herbs, it would be impossible for Xiao Qiang, who only allowed Jing Hongchen to break through level 95, without showing any appreciation to his master.

His great-grandmaster was still the best soul guide in the Sun-Moon Empire. Even though his teacher Jing Hongchen had already broken through to level ninety-five, it was naturally impossible for him to upgrade his soul guide to level ten since he had just broken through. In addition, the soul power of level ninety-five was not much different from the twin martial souls of level ninety-four. So for at least three years, his great-grandmaster should still be the best soul guide in the Sun-Moon Empire.

Compared to Jing Hongchen, with one immortal herb, Kong Deming would be able to break through level 95 more easily, and his strength would increase more rapidly. However, Xiao Qiang and he had very few interactions. He had done a favor to the other party, but the other party had no ability to repay him. What would be the outcome of such a great favor if not a fight to the death?

"Alas, Grandmaster."

Xiao Qiang sighed helplessly. It was not Kong Deming who helped him in the beginning. If he took action now and Kong Deming still did not repay the favor, then both sides would be enemies. But if he did not take action, Zhang Lexuan was the only genius in the entire Kong family, a genius that he must keep even if he had to give up several direct descendants of the Kong family.

It can be said that either path is a wrong option. As for telling Kong Deming that Zhang Lexuan and Shrek are too deeply bound together and there is no way to win them over, the problem is that Kong Deming is not a reader of Peerless Tang Sect.

Hoping to persuade Kong Deming to abandon Zhang Lexuan is like going back to the Spring and Autumn Period and telling the State of Chu that Qin must be destroyed first, and asking the king of Chu to send troops to destroy the family of his grandfather who helped him restore his country. I'm afraid he'll be chopped down as soon as he finishes saying it.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. She can't change anything anyway."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xiao Qiang was helpless, and it seemed that because of something Mu Qingxue had done, the injury from just a punch took Zhang Lexuan more than a month to recover, which would have taken two days. After recovering from the injury, she didn't say a word for more than three months, and didn't even do anything. She even seemed a little depressed. However, this saved Xiao Qiang a lot of trouble.

However, just after Xiao Qiang had relaxed for more than a month, an elder from the Soul Palace quickly ran to where Xiao Qiang was.

"Palace Master, something bad has happened. Miss Zhang Lexuan suddenly disappeared this morning."
