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

"Where did they go? I hope nothing bad has happened to them."

"Probably not. This is the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire, after all. It would be incredibly difficult for anyone else to infiltrate here, let alone make a move."

"Should we go look for them again? After all, we're about to set off."

"No, now is the best time to leave. If we delay any longer, we might miss our chance."

"..."

Gu Yi did not rush into the side hall, but listened to the discussions coming from inside from the doorway.

"Leave? Where are they planning to go?"

"Judging from the voices, Tang Hao seems to be here too. Are they planning to go somewhere else to settle their score?"

"It's a good thing I came today, otherwise how would I have found them later?"

Thinking of this, Gu Yi stopped...

Hesitantly, he immediately jumped over the high wall beside him.

After becoming a Title Douluo, his physical abilities were greatly enhanced, making things like jumping over walls a simple matter.

Moreover, with the Undying Night Fury around, as long as one doesn't leave the darkness, even if one stands right in front of the other, the other might not be able to detect them.

Upon entering the side hall, they found that two carriages had been prepared. One carriage was filled with food and daily necessities, while the other carriage was probably reserved for them.

Tang Hao and the others were sitting around the carriage at that moment.

"Could it be that these two brats are hiding because they don't want to leave us? Or maybe they want to fight alongside us?"

Flander stared in shock, as if he had suddenly realized this possibility.

"It's possible. Although they're usually unreliable, they might actually be like that."

Liu Erlong nodded.

"In that case, we probably won't be able to find them for the time being. Xiao San, you should set off first."

As he spoke, Tang Hao pulled back the carriage curtain, gesturing for Tang San to get in.

"Ah."

Tang San nodded. If those two really thought that way, then there was no need to force them anymore.

"Rou Rou, why don't you go up too? Let's part ways here, okay?"

Liu Erlong released his grip on Ning Rongrong's right hand and asked with a smile.

But Ning Rongrong shook her head and gripped Liu Erlong's left hand even tighter.

"I don't want to, I don't want to leave my mother."

For Ning Rongrong, there was no place in the world that belonged to her at this moment, except for Liu Erlong's side.

So she didn't want to leave; she just wanted to stay with her 'mother'.

"No, this is to ensure your safety."

"I don't know if Gu Yi's target is you or if it's just a feint."

"So I have to make sure you can survive safely."

Liu Erlong gently rubbed Ning Rongrong's head and comforted her.

"But I just don't want to be with other people, I just want to..."

Before Ning Rongrong could finish speaking, a crimson greatsword pierced through her chest, and her words came to an abrupt halt.

"Goodbye."

Gu Yi calmly met Ning Rongrong's gaze, then suddenly pulled away. The next moment, Ning Rongrong died tragically in the Northwest, her body collapsing weakly to the ground, blood flowing continuously on the ground.

"Rongrong!"

This sudden turn of events left Liu Erlong unable to accept it for a while.

She reached out in disbelief to help the collapsed Ning Rongrong, only to find that she had already stopped breathing.

"The eighth test of the Asura God has ended. Gu Yi is rewarded with 40% intimacy with the Asura God."

"The ninth test of the Asura God: [The Asura Secret Realm] Accept the trials within the secret realm. Once you pass them completely, you can inherit the position of the Asura God."

As Ning Rongrong's life force completely faded, that deep voice echoed in Gu Yi's mind once again.

Finally! He can finally prepare to challenge the secret realm; he has finally reached the final step!

"Gu Yi! You actually dare to come here!"

"I demand you pay for my daughter's life!"

Watching Ning Rongrong die right before his eyes, Liu Erlong went berserk, his violent killing intent soaring to the sky, and he was about to attack.

Gu Yi, however, was too lazy to waste time with them. After killing Ning Rongrong, Gu Yi used spatial teleportation to return to the high wall of the side hall.

He looked down indifferently at everyone present and said, "You want me to pay with my life? You'll have plenty of opportunities tomorrow. Let's see if you can defeat me."

"I'll be waiting for you on the battlefield tomorrow."

After saying this, Gu Yi vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

He has achieved his goal and finally made it through!

Chapter 211 War begins

Things went more smoothly tonight than Gu Yi had anticipated; Gu Rong didn't even need to intervene.

The Asura Secret Realm should be something similar to Tang San receiving the Sea God's inheritance in the original novel.

He would probably have to endure inhuman suffering and undergo various tests of his character in there.

But Gu Yi was not afraid of any of these. Compared to pain and trials, Gu Yi was more afraid of weakness.

If one cannot even control their own destiny, then the suffering that follows will be no less than these trials.

"Grandpa, come out, we're back."

"I have completed the task, and it went very smoothly without any obstacles."

In the Endless Bone Domain, Gu Yi beckoned Gu Rong to come out of the domain; they had now returned to the city occupied by the Spirit Hall.

"So fast? Looks like you're doing really well."

"Since I don't need to take action, I'll head back now. You should get some rest too. I'll go with you to report to Bibi Dong tomorrow."

After saying that, Gu Rong left Gu Yi's room.

"Alright, although I'm somewhat mentally prepared now, should we enter the Asura Secret Realm to participate in the trial?"

Entering the secret realm to participate in the trial, although I don't know exactly how long it will take, I don't think it should take too long.

Bibi Dong has not taken any action against Gu Yi yet, since she still needs Gu Yi's help and it is impossible for her to take action against him at this juncture.

Therefore, if he could achieve godhood before Bibi Dong made a move against him, he would naturally gain the upper hand.

Just as Gu Yi was about to be moved, a wisp of pale purple mist suddenly floated out from Gu Yi's right hand.

To be precise, it floated out from the strange totem on the back of Gu Yi's right hand.

Soon, the mist enveloped Gu Yi's entire room, and just as Gu Yi was still somewhat at a loss, a tall figure walked out from it.

"I advise you not to be impatient. You are still missing one last soul bone. Wait until you have all the soul bones before you participate in the final divine test."

"This will be more beneficial to you."

Gu Yi recognized the voice of the figure as it spoke, and he immediately understood the other party's identity as soon as it opened its mouth.

"You...you are the God of Asura?"

Gu Yi asked tentatively.

"Naturally, it is I, the god. Your intimacy with me is now 100%. I have appeared here specifically to provide you with guidance."

The Asura God responded.

"I see, I had forgotten about that."

"Since the God-King said I could wait a bit, then I'll wait a bit. The last piece of soul bone, is it?"

"I really need to think about this carefully and see where I can get it."

Gu Yi suddenly realized and quickly accepted the Asura God's explanation.

"Go to the far north; you should find the answer you're looking for there."

"At the same time, I would like to remind you that you are in a very dangerous situation. The woman beside you is the successor of the Rakshasa God. You had better be careful."

"Don't give her any leverage."

"As for guidance, I will..."

That's all for now, see you later.

After saying that, the Asura God's figure vanished from the spot, and even the pale purple mist from before disappeared.

"The far north? What did he mean by the second half of what he just said?"

"handle?"

"Could it be that Bibi Dong is already preparing...!"

Upon considering the possibilities in his mind, Gu Yi immediately became unsettled, his brows furrowed, and he even appeared somewhat flustered for a moment.

"It seems I need to make plans soon. Once everything here is over, I'll move Zhu Zhuqing and the others."

"As things stand, Qian Renxue's side is still considered friendly. With Qian Daoliu around, I shouldn't have too much to worry about."

"Once I return from the far north, everything will be over."

If the conditions in the Endless Bone Domain weren't so harsh, Gu Yi would have loved to bring all his family members into it, so he would never have to worry about them getting into trouble again.

……

The next morning, before Gu Yi had even woken up from his dream, a loud horn sounded in his ears.

This is the bugle call used to summon troops in an army; it is only sounded when a large army is under attack by the enemy.
