Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Long before this operation, Ning Fengzhi and the Benti Sect had carefully considered and formulated a complete retreat plan.

According to the plan, if the situation develops to the point of all-out war, the extremely powerful Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo will serve as a powerful backup force and join the battle to protect their side. If the situation is unfavorable and they decide to retreat, they will evacuate in an orderly manner along the secret route planned in advance by the Body Sect.

At this time, Xu Jiujiu from the Xingluo Empire and Vina from the Tianhun Empire, both led their respective men to gather in a remote and hidden stronghold.

Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were also here to meet them.

Ning Rongrong has been feeling nervous all the time. Just now, many Titled Douluo gathered above the palace, and the tense and intense atmosphere made her full of worry.

With so many experts gathered together, once the battle breaks out, the situation will change rapidly and no one can guarantee that everyone will be able to escape unscathed. This uncertainty makes her heart always hang in her throat.

Not long after, Du Bu Si and a group of Titled Douluo from the Body Sect hurried to this stronghold.

"Grandpa Gan, did it succeed?"

Seeing Du Bu Si's figure, Vina hurried forward and asked anxiously.

Her eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes. The answer concerned the fate of everyone.

Du Bu Si looked rather gloomy. He sighed helplessly and said, "We failed. The defenses of the Sun Moon Empire's palace are simply too strong. Xu Tianran had clearly made preparations long ago and considered every aspect extremely carefully. Plus, that old bastard Long Xiaoyao was also there, ruining our plans at the critical moment. Ultimately, we failed!"

As he spoke, he shook his head in frustration, his face full of resentment and anger.

Xu Jiujiu heard this and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He asked, "Senior Du, won't Shrek Academy go with us?"

She frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes. Shrek Academy was an important ally in this operation, so their movements were naturally attracting much attention.

Du Bu Si waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "I saw that old fellow Xuan Zi heading west. Shrek Academy must have their own plans. Humph, forget about them. We must leave the city immediately. Time is running out, and any delay could lead to unexpected events!"

There was a hint of urgency in his tone, and it was obvious that he didn't want his evacuation plan to be delayed because of Shrek Academy's actions.

"West? Isn't that a trap? How could Shrek Academy be so unwise?"

Xu Jiujiu's face changed instantly and his expression became extremely solemn.

Shrek Academy is now on the same side with them. If Shrek Academy really falls into the trap set by the Sun-Moon Empire, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss for their side, and the situation will become more difficult.

"Who knows what that old guy is thinking? I've already warned them, but they're still insisting on doing what they want. I can't stop them even if I want to!"

Du Bu Si couldn't help but curse, his words full of dissatisfaction and helplessness towards Shrek Academy.

"That's good. The soul guide we prepared has limited space and can't accommodate too many people. Shrek Academy has a large population. Since they have their own ideas, I think they should have a plan to deal with it and are confident."

Vina nodded slightly and analyzed calmly.

Afterwards, she quickly and methodically began to arrange everyone to enter the earth-drilling soul guide that had been prepared long ago, preparing to evacuate Mingdu, this place of trouble, as soon as possible.

Everyone knew that time was running out and there was no room for delay, so they all took action and quickly packed up their belongings.

After a while, everyone was ready and left the stronghold, retreating cautiously towards the outside of Mingdu.

Before leaving, Ning Fengzhi subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of the Sun Moon Empire Palace with a hint of doubt.

He thought to himself that with the Spirit Hall's usual style, especially Bibi Dong's personality, this was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity to intercept them.

As long as they cannot return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect smoothly, the Spirit Hall will be able to easily take over the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. There is no reason for Bibi Dong to let go of such an attractive situation easily.

However, until now, there has been no movement from the Spirit Hall, which makes Ning Fengzhi feel puzzled.

On a quiet path not far from the Body Sect's evacuation base, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked particularly ugly.

Their eyes were cold as they stared intently at Qian Renxue, Snake Spear Douluo, and Thorny Porpoise Douluo who were blocking their way. Their expressions were gloomy as they asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Why are you blocking the way for me and Old Ghost?"

The atmosphere at this moment was depressing and tense, as if the air had frozen.

Qian Renxue's expression was indifferent. She raised her chin slightly and said calmly, "I know what you are going to do, but Sect Master Ning was my teacher for a period of time after all. Even if he didn't know my true identity, there is always a bond between teacher and student. This time, let me sever this karmic relationship with him."

Her voice was cold and firm, and her eyes revealed a sense of unquestionable determination.

Ju Douluo gritted his teeth. Although he had many dissatisfactions in his heart, Qian Renxue was of noble status and he could not offend her easily.

After weighing the pros and cons, he could only say helplessly, "Since that's the case, we can only report the truth to His Holiness the Pope."

There was a hint of reluctance and helplessness in his tone, as if he was making his position clear to Qian Renxue. "Go ahead, I want to see what she can do to me."

Qian Renxue looked indifferent, raised her head slightly, and there was a hint of disdain and provocation in her eyes.

Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

They knew in their hearts that Qian Renxue was the great treasure of the Worship Hall and was deeply loved by all the Worship Douluo.

If Qian Renxue is really angered by this matter, those worshippers will not let them go easily.

Thinking of this, they could only sigh inwardly and accept the result silently.

On the other side, Xuan Zi led everyone from Shrek Academy and galloped all the way, and soon arrived outside the city of Mingdu.

After leaving the city, everyone's tense nerves were not completely relaxed and they remained vigilant.

Zhang Lexuan quickened her pace and caught up to Xuanzi. With a worried look on her face, she said, "Master Xuan, should we go back to the hotel first? From the looks of it, we haven't completely fallen out with the Sun-Moon Empire yet. And there's the Tang Sect match coming up. Shouldn't we wait for them to leave together?"

Zhang Lexuan was filled with worry for the Tang Clan members who were still in Mingdu, especially Beibei. Her concern made her extremely anxious.

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Xuan Zi responded without hesitation, "No, the situation is too dangerous now. The Tang Sect won't be able to participate in the next competition. Let's leave the city first and wait for them outside. I've already carefully explored the west and confirmed that there are no ambushes. We can safely evacuate there."

Xuan Zi and others knew very well that Shrek had dispatched a large number of personnel this time, including not only elite students from the Shrek team, but also many members of the Tang Sect.

Such a large team is too obvious a target. Once they choose to break out from the east, south, or north, they are likely to encounter numerous obstructions from the enemy, causing unnecessary damage.

As for the west, after Xuanzi's careful investigation, he was sure that the Sun and Moon Empire had not set an ambush there.

Evacuating from this direction is, at least on the surface, much safer than other directions. Although they also understand that there may be unknown dangers lurking in the west, this is already the relatively best option under the current circumstances.

As for those unknown crises, they can only adapt to the situation and respond to each move. Xuanzi doesn't believe that with the strength of several Super Douluo and many Titled Douluo, without the ambush of the Soul Guide Corps and large-scale Soul Guide devices, can't they lead everyone away safely?

When Zhang Lexuan heard Xuanzi's decision, she bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth, and her eyes revealed a hint of stubbornness and persistence.

She looked at Master Xuan with burning eyes and said sincerely, "Master Xuan, I'm still worried. I..."

Xuan Zi looked at Zhang Lexuan's determined eyes, feeling somewhat helpless. He waved his hand to interrupt her, "Alright, go ahead. Be careful. The city will probably be under full martial law soon. When you see them, take them out of the city as quickly as possible and meet us in the western suburbs."

"Yes."

Zhang Lexuan's response was crisp and clear. Before she finished her words, her figure flew out like an arrow and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint afterimage.

Xuanzi was not very worried about Zhang Lexuan's safety.

After all, Zhang Lexuan is very powerful. Even if she encounters an ordinary Titled Douluo, she has the ability to compete with him, so protecting herself should not be a problem.

Just as Xuan Zi led everyone out of the west city of Mingdu successfully, and Zhang Lexuan turned around and returned to the city, in a dark corner, the enchanting Demon Emperor was watching all this quietly.

She has a graceful figure, and her black robe perfectly blends her figure into the darkness. If you don't look closely, it is difficult to detect her presence.

The Demon King quietly looked at the direction where everyone left, with no intention of taking action.

In fact, if she really wanted to take action, she could have done so during the fierce battle in the palace.

With her strength, and with the cooperation of Long Xiaoyao, it would not be difficult for her to keep Xuan Zi, Du Bu Si and others.

However, her target has never been these people. In her heart, there has only been one goal from beginning to end, and that is revenge.

In order to achieve this goal, she has been waiting for the opportunity, and now, she has thought of a very interesting way of revenge.

"Seagod Tang San, wait, I will prepare a huge surprise for you." The Demon Emperor muttered to himself, his voice low and cold.

Thinking of Ma Hongjun who died in the competition and whose soul eventually disappeared, and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King who was killed by her own hands but whose soul escaped from her, a crazy smile appeared on the Demon Emperor's beautiful face.

The smile was twisted and ferocious, revealing endless resentment and madness.

When the Demon Emperor thought of the revenge drama he had carefully prepared for Sea God Tang San, he became so excited that he could hardly control himself, as if he had already seen the painful look on Sea God Tang San's face.

In her opinion, simply killing the Sea God Tang San would not be as satisfying as making him suffer unbearable pain.

This twisted mentality drove her to plot step by step, planning a conspiracy. (End of this chapter)
