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

"If they agree, all will be well; but if they don't, then we'll fight them to the death!"

"What do you think?"

Bibi Dong's words immediately silenced everyone present.

For a moment, no one dared to speak.

Good heavens, at this point, they're still trying to persuade him to surrender?

Are you going to die?

Chapter 208 The way out

"Why don't you two handle this matter?"

"After all, you have special abilities and have been to the Star Luo Imperial Palace before. If anything unexpected happens then, you two can retreat."

"How is it? Elder Gu? Gu Yi?"

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Bibi Dong turned her attention to Gu Yi and Gu Rong.

“If His Holiness the Pope deems it feasible, then my grandfather and I are willing to make the trip.”

"It is entirely up to His Holiness the Pope!"

Gu Yi did not refuse; instead, he accepted this difficult task with great respect.

This attitude shocked everyone present.

"Oh?" Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "If that's the case, then do as I say."

"I obey His Holiness the Pope's command!"

Gu Yi and Gu Rong responded in unison.

To others, this mission might seem like a death wish, but for Gu Yi, it was something he couldn't ask for.

Whether this mission is completed or not doesn't matter. Given the Star Luo Empire's attitude, reconciliation is impossible.

Gu Yi could have simply ignored the mission and used it as an opportunity to take action again.

Ning Rongrong, she will never escape Gu Yi's grasp!

……

Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Star Luo Empire's palace.

Tiger God Douluo sat on the dragon throne, his brows furrowed.

"You are now the last remaining strength of my Star Luo Empire."

"Do you have any ideas on how to repel the enemy?"

Tiger God Douluo inquired of the many powerful figures in the hall.

At this moment, the spacious hall was almost completely filled with people.

Most of them were Soul Douluos from the city, followed by some generals and nobles, and then a few titled Douluos at the head.

Besides the titled Douluo who appeared earlier, the Star Luo Royal Family also has three titled Douluo above level 94 hidden in the family. They are the powerful attack type Savage Bear Douluo, the agile attack type Spirit Cat Douluo, and the last one, the support type Treasure Jade Douluo.

“Your Majesty, Bibi Dong and her gang are currently entrenched outside our capital. Although they are powerful and have many strong members, with all of us here, we may not be unable to fight them.”

"It is true that we are outnumbered now, but after so many years, we know ourselves and our enemy well, and we have an unparalleled understanding with each other."

"Furthermore, we also have you, the strongest among us, who can unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. As long as we can divide the entire battlefield and attack one point, killing the old man you mentioned as the greatest threat first, we can achieve victory in this battle."

"We don't need to defeat them all at once. As long as we continue this offensive every day, they won't be able to withstand our constant barrage."

This plan was proposed by Baoyu Douluo.

As the only Title Douluo-level support Soul Master present, he held a very high position and was also the strategist of the team.

"Oh?"

"This kind of warfare is feasible, but how do we divide the battlefield?"

Tiger God Douluo fell into deep thought, and for a moment, he couldn't come up with a good solution.

"Your Majesty, although I haven't appeared for many years, please don't forget my soul skills."

"My eighth soul skill can freely alter the terrain within a radius of one thousand meters, even if..."

"I could conjure a giant mountain out of thin air on the battlefield."

"Leave the task of dividing the battlefield to me."

Just as Tiger God Douluo was struggling with a problem, Savage Bear Douluo stepped forward and said confidently.

"But we don't know anything about that old man's martial spirit and soul skills, what if..."

With the fate of the empire at stake, Tiger God Douluo was exceptionally cautious.

Their biggest challenge right now is that they have very little information. Apart from Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo, they have almost no information about who the other side is or what kind of soul skills and martial souls they possess.

"Your Majesty, the nation is in peril, and we cannot hesitate any longer."

"Although Bibi Dong and the others did not intend to make a move today, they will probably do so tomorrow or the day after, once they have finished resting."

"Instead of passively waiting to die, we might as well take the initiative."

Baoyu Douluo tried to persuade him again.

"..."

"Alright! We'll do as you say. Tomorrow, we'll launch an attack on the Spirit Hall's army."

"Strive to strike first, catching them completely off guard!"

Seeing that there was no way out, Tiger God Douluo immediately agreed to Jade Douluo's request without hesitation.

"Yes!"

The meeting concluded amidst the responses from the participants.

Although everyone in the hall expressed their agreement, not everyone actually thought the plan was feasible.

Take Tang Hao for example.

Originally, he also thought that this battle was fightable and not hopeless.

But ever since Gu Yi pulled that trick on him, Tang Hao has lost his confidence.

After today's meeting ended, Tang Hao found Tang San and the others.

"Xiao San, we're going to launch another attack on the Spirit Hall tomorrow."

"I don't know what the final outcome will be tomorrow, but in any case, I have to send you away today."

"And you too, you can all go with the mistress."

Without absolute certainty of victory, Tang Hao dared not leave Tang San in the city any longer; it was too dangerous.

"Leave? If even the Star Luo Empire falls, where can we go?"

"The entire continent belongs to the Spirit Hall, so where can we go from here?"

Tang San lowered his head, feeling extremely down. He was annoyed by his own uselessness.

"Yes, you still have two places to go: the City of Slaughter and Seagod Island."

"Although neither of these places is a safe haven, they can guarantee your safety."

"I have witnessed the prowess of the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter. The aura he exudes far surpasses that of Bibi Dong. That place is definitely not a place where they dare to act recklessly."

"As for Poseidon Island, it's a legendary place. Legend has it that few who have been there have ever returned."

"But every one of those who returned became a strong person."

"So, mistress, you choose. I'll find a way to get you into one of them."

This was the way out that Tang Hao had found for Tang San, and the only way for him to continue to survive in this chaotic world.

"Strong?"

"Dad, I want to go to Poseidon Island! I want to become strong!"

"Would you like to come with us too?"

Tang San gripped Tang Hao's arms tightly and pleaded.

He knew that tomorrow's battle was likely to end badly, otherwise Tang Hao wouldn't have acted this way.

He couldn't bear to see his father, whom he had finally reunited with, go to his death like this; he couldn't accept it, so he could only plead like this.

"No, Xiao San, I abandoned my sect for you years ago, and I can't run away this time."

"Whether it's for my family or for the greater good, I won't leave this time."

"I will fight my brother to the death!"

"Mistress, you need to know that a mature man is responsible."

"Staying here is my responsibility."

Chapter 209 Defection

"father!"

"Alright then, I understand, mistress."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Tang Hao, Tang San's eyes welled up with tears, and he could only nod helplessly.

Seeing Tang San so heartbroken, Tang Hao felt a warm current flow through his heart. He reached out and patted Tang San's head, and said with a smile, "Alright, don't talk like we're bound to lose."

"If we win tomorrow, I will definitely catch up with your team and bring you back!"

Although Tang Hao himself knew that the possibility was extremely slim, he did not want to put himself and Tang San into despair so soon.

"Ok!"

Tang San nodded vigorously and responded.

He forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace, as if trying to reassure Tang Hao.
