Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

Doesn't his torso have a soul skill that allows him to stealth?

'Night Concealment'—this is a great tool that allows him to infiltrate the Killing City undetected.

Thinking of this, a bold plan instantly appeared in Gu Yi's mind, but before Gu Yi could think more about it, Hu Liena suddenly made a move beside him.

Gu Yi turned his head and saw that Hu Liena had also woken up and was looking at him in a daze.

"Gu Yi, have we... succeeded?"

Hu Liena asked while sensing the changes within her body.

"Well, you should have obtained the God of Slaughter Domain by now. Now we just need to wait for Elder Ju and the others to come and pick you up."

Gu Yi nodded and responded.

"Really? That's great!" Hu Liena's joy was short-lived, but suddenly she froze. "Wait, pick me up? You...aren't you coming back with me?"

"Well, I have some things to do, so I might not have enough time."

Gu Yi didn't know how long he would have to stay here, so he naturally refused first.

"Is there anything else? What is it? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Upon hearing that Gu Yi had something else to do, Hu Liena immediately perked up, stood up from the ground, and asked excitedly.

"Uh... probably not. It would be much easier for me to go alone."

"Alright, you should get some rest now. I'm leaving now."

Gu Yi didn't intend to say much to Hu Liena and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Hu Liena grabbed Gu Yi's right hand and pulled him back.

"Please take me with you! I promise I won't mess it up, okay?"

"Trust me, I will definitely be a help to you!"

Hu Liena didn't want to go back like this, at least not until Gu Yi returned.

"Stop messing around. What I'm going to do is very dangerous. If I'm not careful, I could lose my life. You'd better not get involved."

"You just stay here and wait for Elder Ju, otherwise my signal just now would have been for nothing."

He was going to force his way into the 'forbidden zone' of a level 99 Title Douluo, how could he possibly bring Hu Liena along for such a thing?

It's alright if he has 'Night Concealment', but Hu Liena has absolutely no ability to protect herself. If she were to go, it would basically be sending her to her death.

But how could Hu Liena know so much?

She just wanted to do something for Gu Yi as well.

Am I really just a burden?

Chapter 165 The Plan Begins

"I……"

Hu Liena was completely stumped by Gu Yi's words. How was he supposed to respond to that?

If I agree to her request, I don't know what I can ask her to do; if I don't agree, it seems too cruel.

For a moment, Gu Yi was very conflicted. Looking at Hu Liena's pitiful appearance, he really couldn't bear to say what he wanted to say.

"Ugh!"

"Alright then, I'm going to infiltrate the Killing City again, which might cause some turmoil. You stay at the entrance and wait for me, help me escape, okay?"

After much deliberation, Gu Yi finally compromised.

"Alright! Then leave this to me!"

Upon hearing Gu Yi's agreement, Hu Liena immediately regained her previous lively demeanor.

As for why Gu Yi wanted to infiltrate the City of Slaughter again, she couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it anymore.

There are so many things about Gu Yi that she can't understand. If she really wanted to dwell on them, she would have been tormented to death long ago.

"Then let's go. This time, I'll go in alone first."

With that, Gu Yi led Hu Liena back towards the town where they had entered the Killing City.

He planned to enter the Killing City openly and honestly, and then act at night.

Although it might attract attention, it's also the safest method.

Soon, things began to proceed according to Gu Yi's plan.

He went into the tavern in town alone again, while Hu Liena remained hidden outside the town.

"Ok?"

As soon as Gu Yi entered the tavern, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the bartender at the bar, who stared at Gu Yi as if he had seen a ghost.

"You...you are Death?"

"No, since you've appeared here, it means you've passed the test of Hell Road. You are the God of Slaughter!"

The bartender looked at Gu Yi with a horrified expression and exclaimed in shock.

"you know me?"

Gu Yi asked curiously.

"Of course I know you. I have seen your prowess in the hellish killing field before and have heard your legends. Of course I know you."

Seeing Gu Yi looking over, the bartender immediately lowered his head respectfully and explained the reason.

"Since you recognize me, why don't you open the entrance and let me in?"

As he spoke, Gu Yi exuded a terrifying killing intent, and a chilling aura instantly enveloped the surroundings, making people feel terrified.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll make way for you right away!"

Upon hearing Gu Yi's words, he dared not obstruct him any longer and immediately made way, opening the entrance to the City of Slaughter.

If you accidentally displease this man, the consequences will be dire!

Seeing this, Gu Yi didn't bother to say anything more and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

After acquiring the Killing God Domain, Gu Yi was able to use his soul skills in the City of Slaughter, which provided him with many conveniences.

Gu Yi now uses his third soul skill with almost every step he takes. In just a few breaths, Gu Yi has entered the inner city of the Slaughter City and stopped in a hotel room.

The King of Slaughter's palace is located in the very center of the inner city, not far from where Gu Yi is now.

Gu Yi checked the time carefully when he came in; it was still some time before midnight.

For about sixteen hours, he did not intend to take any action.

Although there is no distinction between day and night in the Killing World, everyone will be somewhat tired by that time. He just needs to conserve his energy now.

Everything was to be done late at night.

With that in mind, Gu Yi directly selected a large bed in the hotel and took it with him into the Endless Bone Domain, intending to wait there for the right opportunity.

……

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

Not far above Wuhun City, a fiery red streak of light shot towards the palace from afar, rushing straight into the council chamber of the Papal Palace.

"Huh? Those are the soul tools I gave to Nana and the others?"

"Is there some kind of problem they've encountered?"

Inside the council hall, Juhua Guan grabbed the soul tool that flew in from the sky and whispered in confusion.

His words immediately aroused the curiosity of the others in the hall. In an instant, Bibi Dong, Gu Rong, and Gui Mei's eyes were all focused on him.

"Open it and see what Gu Yi and the others have to say."

Bibi Dong frowned and gave the order.

In her mind, this soul tool shouldn't have appeared here so early. Could it be...?

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope."

Ju Huaguan responded and then injected soul power into the soul tool, successfully activating it.

The next moment, Gu Yi's voice rang out throughout the entire council hall.

"Elder Ju, Hu Liena and I have both completed the trials of the Hell Road and obtained the Killing God Domain. Please set off immediately to bring Hu Liena back."

Gu Yi's message consisted of only this one sentence, yet it silenced the entire council hall for a long time.

"Heh~ this kid."

After a long while, Gu Rong burst out laughing, breaking the silence in the hall.

"It's only been a month, and they've already..."

"Alright, since Gu Yi said so, Elder Ju, you should set off now and go to the City of Slaughter to bring them back."

Bibi Dong covered her forehead with one hand and said helplessly.

No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't understand why Gu Yi and the other girl were able to complete the Hell Road test in such a short time.

This is really unbelievable!

But she was too lazy to think about it now. Anyway, it was Gu Yi who caused this, and she could ask him about it when the two of them came back.

"Yes, His Majesty the Pope."

Juhua Guan responded again and then quickly left the council hall.

Bibi Dong did not speak again until after Juhua Guan left the main hall.

"Since Elder Ju is currently away on business, the actions we just discussed will be postponed until he returns."

"Furthermore, one more person will be added to the action list: Gu Yi, who will also participate in the subsequent plans."

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. The two elders may now leave."

"Yes."
