Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

His strength is different now than before, but he is not complacent.

His expression remained calm as he silently looked out of the white mist at the Azure Bull Python, which was struggling to breathe under the combined attack of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. His eyes flickered slightly before shifting to Chen Yao's direction, giving him a deep look. His hand clenched unconsciously, but quickly relaxed again.

He leaped up from the ground and appeared in the forest behind him in the next instant beside an ancient tree. He reached out and grabbed a child from the tree, who fell into his arms.

Holding the child, Tang Hao's gaze shifted to where Chen Yao was, staring intently, wanting to remember every single detail of his face.

Such hatred is etched into one's very being.

A moment later, Tang Hao finally let out a long breath, suppressing his agitated emotions. He then carried the child in his arms and fled towards the back of the forest.

Because the remaining power of the Titan Ape kept the white mist from completely dissipating, Chen Yao could only watch helplessly as Tang Hao's figure gradually blurred in the forest until it disappeared.

"Is that Tang San? Tang Hao has been spending all these years in the forest, so where has he found women? Or has Tang Hao found another female beast to harass? And is that female beast really a relative of the Titan Giant Ape?"

Knowing that things were hopeless, Chen Yao readjusted his mindset and watched Tang Hao leave, noticing the child in his arms.

Although the child was covered by a simple turf, obscuring his face, Chen Yao was fairly certain that the child was Tang Hao's son.

Chen Yao hadn't expected that all his time and effort, all this going around in circles, would come to nothing. Not only did he fail to kill Tang Hao, but the guy who looked like Tang San was also born. For a moment, Chen Yao felt a little complicated. This feeling of defeat was not pleasant.

As Chen Yao's thoughts were churning, the Azure Bull Python on the other side, upon seeing the Titan Giant Ape completely vanish into the world, immediately felt an urge to perish together with the humans in front of it.

However, when she thought of Xiao Wu, who was now rebuilding her strength and had lost everything, she finally calmed down.

Ignoring his injuries and risking his life to break free from the chain of sword and bone douluo, the Azure Bull Python swept its vengeful gaze over Chen Yao and the others before disappearing into the forest without looking back.

"So, are you still going to pursue it?"

Suspended in the sky, Bone Douluo covered his chest with his withered hand, using his soul power to calm his turbulent blood and qi caused by the fierce attack from the Azure Bull Python, and then asked Sword Douluo beside him.

"There are too many uncertainties. We can't be sure if there are any 100,000-year-old soul beasts deep inside. Let's go ask Feng Zhi first."

Sword Douluo gazed in the direction where the Azure Bull Python had disappeared, slowly shook his head, then controlled his body to descend, his feet firmly planted on the ground, and came to Ning Fengzhi's side, where he expressed his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then nodded to Sword Douluo.

“Uncle Jian, you’re right. There are too many unknowns in the forest, so it’s not advisable to take risks. Anyway, that beast is dead now. Although the soul ring and soul bone went to Tang Hao, the Haotian Sect has long been in decline in the outside world. As long as we spend some effort, I don’t believe we can’t force Tang Hao out.”

Even if the Clear Sky Sect retains some resources and wants to protect Tang Hao at all costs, I can simply join forces with the Spirit Hall. If we can't avenge A-Jie, then there's no point in my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fighting for empty titles!

Ning Fengzhi snorted coldly, a sinister glint in his eyes.

Hearing this, Chen Yao, who had already walked over, was about to speak up to remind them that deep in the forest, there was probably only a half-crippled Azure Bull Python and a rabbit that had been rebuilt and posed no threat.

If we search further, there's still a good chance of finding them.

But just as Chen Yao was about to blurt it out, he suddenly thought of the forbidden area of ​​the Star Dou Forest.

The Azure Bull Python and the other soul beasts seem to live at the entrance of this forbidden zone.

Although those inside this restricted area generally don't care about what happens outside, if you fight to the death at someone else's doorstep, you might just attract some of those guys out.

Things will likely become even more complicated then.

After much deliberation, Chen Yao ultimately chose to remain silent.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi noticed Chen Yao's hesitant expression and quickly stepped forward to ask him.

"Does Chen Yao have any insights? Why don't you share them?"

Ning Fengzhi's tone was very polite.

It wasn't just because Chen Yao had saved Ning Rongrong, but also because of the incredible spirit ring configuration and terrifying strength Chen Yao displayed in the previous battle.

This is no longer within the realm of genius. In Ning Fengzhi's heart, Chen Yao is now equivalent to a fully grown Title Douluo powerhouse, and this powerhouse has unlimited potential for further growth in the future!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a sect that primarily focuses on supporting martial souls, so it needs to constantly win over and befriend powerful combat soul masters.

Moreover, they had just fought alongside Chen Yao, laying the foundation for their friendship.

Under these circumstances, Chen Yao naturally became the object that Ning Fengzhi was now willing to do anything to win over.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about Tang Hao. Now that he's become a Title Douluo and has a 100,000-year-old spirit ring and spirit bone, he's become a bit troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao answered somewhat absentmindedly.

In fact, the 100,000-year-old spirit ring and spirit bone were nothing to him. What really annoyed him was that Tang Hao had avoided two near-death situations in an unexpected way.

This made Chen Yao feel for a moment that even Ah Yin, the inheritor of the God of Life, was not as likely to survive as Tang Hao.

"Heh, Brother Chen, don't worry. As soon as I get back, I will issue an arrest warrant for Tang Hao. Now that the Haotian Sect is weak, I don't believe they would dare to protect Tang Hao in this critical moment. I will make sure that Tang Hao has no place to stand in the human world!"

Upon hearing Tang Hao's name, Ning Fengzhi's smile faded slightly. Although he wanted to win over Chen Yao, his hatred for Tang Hao was real and undeniable, and he immediately sneered.

"Haotian Sect is in decline?"

Chen Yao was taken aback when he heard this, but then he remembered.

This seems to be his doing. Back then, when he was trying to leave the Spirit Hall, he tricked the Clear Sky Sect, causing those guys to fight each other at a crucial moment for the Spirit Hall.

Given this situation, even if Tang Chen were still alive, let alone not being in charge of the Clear Sky Sect, for the sake of the Spirit Hall's reputation, that old man Qian Daoliu would have to go to the Clear Sky Sect. Therefore, it is only natural that the Clear Sky Sect is being suppressed now.

The fact that the Clear Sky Sect was able to withstand the pressure from the Spirit Hall for so long without collapsing and still manage to survive is a testament to its profound foundation.

However, Chen Yao only briefly considered it before putting it out of his mind. The Haotian Sect was none of his concern. What he was really focused on was how to find the missing Tang Hao.

The method Ning Fengzhi just mentioned, which was aimed at Tang Hao, was not very useful in Chen Yao's eyes. Now that Tang Hao was a Title Douluo, he only needed to conceal his whereabouts and he could go anywhere in the world. He didn't necessarily have to be tied to the Haotian Sect.

Tang Hao did just that, following the original plan.

It remains to be seen whether Tang Hao will follow the original plan and go to live in seclusion in Holy Soul Village.

Just as Chen Yao was pondering, Ning Fengzhi suddenly took Ning Rongrong from the arms of the servant beside him and then said to Chen Yao with a smile.

"Brother Chen, you saved Rongrong from the beast's jaws, which is nothing short of a second life for her. For my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it is an even greater favor. Therefore, Brother Chen will be an honored guest of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for all eternity. If Brother Chen needs anything, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will provide assistance with the entire sect."

As for Rongrong, if Brother Chen doesn't mind, I will have her become your godfather, so that when she grows up, she can serve you and repay your kindness.

Ning Fengzhi did not openly express his intention to recruit Chen Yao, but instead used the pretext of gratitude to bind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School together with Chen Yao in the form of repaying a debt of gratitude.

As for Ning Rongrong, the same applies. In this way, a bond similar to kinship is formed between her and Chen Yao, which not only makes him closer to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but also provides a strong backer for his precious daughter. It is a win-win situation. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, apart from some empty formalities, it will not lose anything at all.

As for the women beside Chen Yao, Ning Fengzhi didn't say anything. Even with his experience, he couldn't quite figure out their relationship with Chen Yao. He figured it was better to ignore them than to say anything more.

Just as Chen Yao was somewhat stunned by Ning Fengzhi's seemingly weighty promise,

Ning Fengzhi made another move, placing Ning Rongrong on the ground. Amidst Ning Rongrong's bewildered expression, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned stern, and he spoke in a stern tone.

"Rongrong, he is your savior, and to you, he is like your second parents. You can never repay him in this lifetime. So I want you to recognize him as your godfather and treat him as an equal to me, serving him by your side. Rongrong, do you understand?"

However, Ning Rongrong nodded and then shook her head upon hearing this, seemingly confused.

"Kneel down, bow, and call me godfather!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, Ning Fengzhi didn't bother to care and directly gave Ning Rongrong a command.

Ning Rongrong didn't understand the first part, but she understood the concise and clear instructions that followed, and she understood what her father meant.

Ning Rongrong shrank back, glancing at Chen Yao with some fear. She felt a bit resistant, after all, Chen Yao had scared her quite a bit along the way, leaving her with a lot of bad impressions.

She wanted to refuse, but when she turned around and saw her father's stern face, the words she was about to say stuck in her throat. In the end, she didn't dare to disobey her father. Ning Rongrong knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and made a feint at Chen Yao before speaking weakly to him.

"I've met my godfather."

However, before Chen Yao could react, Ning Fengzhi frowned first.

"Rongrong, is this how I usually teach you manners? Kowtowing and bowing, and speaking louder!"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's stern voice, Ning Rongrong's heart skipped a beat. She felt wronged, but dared not disobey.

"Puff puff!"

Ning Rongrong's forehead touched the damp soil, producing three slightly muffled sounds. Then she tilted her head back, revealing that her smooth forehead was now covered in mud.

Suppressing her inner grievances, she maintained a solemn expression and shouted loudly at Chen Yao.

"Rongrong greets her godfather!"

At this moment, looking at Ning Rongrong who had already finished her ceremony, Chen Yao's lips twitched slightly.

He hadn't expected that, in the blink of an eye, he would have such a goddaughter.

Although he wasn't against goddaughters, he wanted the kind of goddaughter who was fair-skinned, beautiful, had large breasts and a round bottom, and a seductive look, not this kind of little girl!

While Chen Yao was both amused and exasperated, he also guessed Ning Fengzhi's intention. After all, he hadn't wasted his years in the Spirit Hall.

However, whether Chen Yao, who was brought onto the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's ship, will ultimately pay more or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will bleed more is still uncertain.

As he pondered, Chen Yao's eyebrows curved slightly, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, alright, my good daughter, get up!"

As he spoke, Chen Yao reached out and lifted Ning Rongrong, who was kneeling on the ground, wiping the dirt off her knees and forehead. He then held little Rongrong in his arms with a doting expression. He then looked at Ning Fengzhi in front of him and said with feigned emotion.

"Sect Leader Ning, you may not know this, but although I am still young, every time I walk down the street and see other people's fathers holding their daughters' hands, strolling and playing, such a harmonious and joyful scene always touches me deeply. So, I don't know when it started, but I also developed a desire to have a daughter. I never expected that today, Sect Leader Ning would grant my wish."

Chapter 147 Bibi Dong came looking for him

On the other side, inside the Spirit Hall, a figure stood at the highest point of the Spirit Hall.

Her figure was graceful, and even the relatively loose papal robes could not conceal her magnificent curves.

Her long, silvery-white hair danced in the wind, and her beautiful eyes gazed westward, their depths shimmering with an ambiguous light.

Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows behind her, knelt on one knee, and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

"Your Holiness, we have indeed found human traces in the woods you ordered us to investigate, and there are also signs that a domain soul skill has been activated!"

Upon hearing this, the Pope in front of him, Bibi Dong, immediately revealed a breathtaking smile.

During this period, the Spirit Hall overwhelmed the Clear Sky Sect, almost forcing them into hiding. The entire continent was shocked. Whether it was Star Luo or Heaven Dou, when the Spirit Hall's power was at its zenith, they dared to challenge it.

Bibi Dong also took this opportunity to search almost every inch of soil within the territory of the Spirit Hall and the two great empires.

She even ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest, personally leading a team there. However, despite capturing a precious 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit along the way to use as her second spirit ring, she still received no news of Chen Yao.

Now that these places have been ruled out, Chen Yao's hiding place has been greatly narrowed down to the northern border, the sea area, and the City of Slaughter!

So, after searching through all the cities in the North except for the extreme cold regions, and all the sea cities in the ocean except for Poseidon Island, Bibi Dong finally focused her attention on the City of Slaughter.

She had originally planned that if she still gained nothing from the City of Slaughter, then she would have to make a trip to Seagod Island.

If the Sea God priests are accommodating, that's fine. But if they aren't, Bibi Dong wouldn't mind experiencing firsthand the difference between the Sea God's representative and the successor of the evil God King.
