Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Bibi Dong could easily guess that this was inextricably linked to Qian Renxue. Her eyes blazed with fury, and without hesitation, she slapped Qian Renxue hard across the face, making a crisp sound.

Although Bibi Dong suppressed her rising killing intent and held back most of her strength at the last moment, her palm strike still caused a shockwave around Qian Renxue's face.

Qian Renxue's vision went black, her ears rang, blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and she lost her balance, almost falling from the sky.

"Xue'er!"

Just then, from another mountain peak, where the offering hall was located, a golden streak of light swept out and arrived in front of her. When the golden light dissipated, it revealed Qian Xunji's appearance. His face was filled with anxiety, and he helped Qian Renxue to her feet.

After examining her and finding that Qian Renxue was otherwise unharmed except for some mental instability and minor injuries on her face, Qian Xunji breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked at Bibi Dong with a hint of dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes.

"Dong'er, what happened here? Why did you hit Xue'er?"

"Oh, what happened? You should ask her about it."

Bibi Dong wore a cold smile, her eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. To be honest, if it weren't for some inexplicable special feeling she had for Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong would have really killed Qian Renxue just now, even if it meant completely turning against Qian Xunji and the Hall of Offerings.

Upon sensing the intense killing intent emanating from Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji's expression stiffened. Who else could it be but that man who could make Bibi Dong, who once doted on Qian Renxue and treated her like her own daughter, now harbor such murderous intent towards her?

Although Qian Xunji had roughly guessed that Qian Renxue was probably in the wrong this time, he was still somewhat indignant and spoke up again to question Bibi Dong.

"Dong'er, no matter what, you watched Xue'er grow up. Now you're treating Xue'er like this for a man. Do you think this is appropriate?"

However, upon hearing this, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and spoke.

"What's wrong with that? I not only hit her, I wanted to kill her!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji's expression changed drastically. He was about to say something again when Bibi Dong interrupted him.

"In my capacity as Pope, I hereby declare that the previously scrapped case is being reopened, and the plan for Qian Renxue to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Royal Family will be executed immediately!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"No! Dong'er! How could Xue'er do that?"

“There’s nothing wrong with that. From today onwards, I don’t want to see her in the Spirit Hall anymore, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself! Teacher, I hope you won’t stop me, otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you.”

After saying that, Bibi Dong turned and left without looking back, her face cold.

"Damn Chen Yao, I should have..."

Watching Bibi Dong's departing figure, Qian Xunji's face darkened, and he cursed, but when he looked at Qian Renxue beside him, who looked completely lost, he couldn't help but sigh.

Let's take Xue'er back first and let Father decide.

With these thoughts in mind, Qian Xunji, carrying Qian Renxue, transformed into a golden streak of light and sped towards the Hall of Worship.

In the dead of night, in a dense forest outside Wuhun City, under a towering ancient tree, a lifeless shadow suddenly seemed to be given life, and began to writhe strangely, gradually condensing into a black shadow in the shape of a lotus flower.

The shadow took shape, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly began to twist. Then, a smooth hand suddenly emerged from the shadow, grabbing the ground. Immediately afterward, a slender figure slowly crawled out, rolled over, lay on its back, and breathed heavily.

Under the scattered moonlight, his pale, alluring face revealed him to be none other than Chen Yao, the culprit who had destroyed the Papal Palace that day.

"Damn it, the physical reconstruction still hurts so much!"

Chen Yao, lying on the ground, grimaced.

Today, Chen Yao has gathered enough soul power to summon the Nine Nether Black Lotus, releasing the last bit of energy left in it by the Dark Lord back then.

Although countless years have passed and this energy has been diluted to the extreme, divine power is still divine power, and its power is still extraordinary, giving Chen Yao the opportunity to escape the Spirit Hall.

However, due to the profound seal left by Bibi Dong on his body, Chen Yao was helpless. He also knew that with the seal on him, it would be useless no matter where he ran. So he simply stopped running and, under the cover of the earth-shattering explosion, merged into the shadows and darkness with the Black Lotus.

He then activated the Black Lotus, just as he had done in the Ice and Fire Eyes back then, shattering his entire physical body and reshaping it within the Black Lotus.

Chen Yao lay on the ground for a while before recovering. He slowly got up, leaned against the tree trunk, stretched out his palm, stared intently, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his bewitching face.

"This time we've really suffered a huge loss. We've been imprisoned for four years, our soul power hasn't increased even a fraction, we've lost our trump cards, and the Black Lotus is temporarily unusable because the Dark Lord's energy has been completely depleted."

But soon, Chen Yao shook his head again, calmed himself down. In fact, the situation was not as bad as he had imagined. At least his body was now completely clean and there were no more hidden dangers.

As for the black lotus, although the Dark Lord's energy was completely exhausted, it also meant that after the black lotus recovered, there would be no trace of the Dark Lord left. It would be completely under Chen Yao's control. Even if its power was not as great as before, it would gradually grow as Chen Yao's strength increased, becoming the most suitable artifact for Chen Yao.

Thinking this way, Chen Yao's annoyance was dispelled a lot. He slowly sat up straight, summoned his martial soul, and countless black tentacles emerged from the darkness beneath him, extending in all directions and frantically absorbing the soul power in the air.

A moment later, Chen Yao slowly opened his eyes, which were dark and deep, gleaming with a faint light.

"I have enough soul power. Let's leave here first. Although Bibi Dong hasn't noticed us, being so close to the Spirit Hall is still not very safe."

After pondering for a while and coming up with a good destination, Chen Yao slowly got up, circulated his soul power, and leaped into the air, speeding towards the Heaven Dou Empire.

Chen Yao possesses Ah Yin's 100,000-year-old left leg bone. In addition to the self-healing soul skill, he also has the ability to fly at high speed. So even though the Nine Nether Black Lotus cannot be used for the time being, he can still soar through the sky and travel quickly.

But Chen Yao hadn't flown very far when a silver light, almost illuminating the entire sky, suddenly flashed.

Chen Yao was startled, thinking that Bibi Dong had discovered him.

He has no trump cards left. If Bibi Dong catches him again, he'll really have no choice but to accept his fate!

However, before Chen Yao could despair, a figure slowly emerged from the dazzling silver light ahead.

She wore a pure white long dress, and her indescribably beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful, aloof face was adorned with a pair of jewel-like purple eyes that exuded an eerie charm.

Her long, silver hair cascaded down her back, reaching her ankles, and had a texture like silver crystal.

She stood in the air, beneath the perfect, bright moon, bathed in its light, which made her appear almost divine and ethereal, like a celestial being descended to earth, her beauty so unreal and otherworldly.

Even Chen Yao was slightly stunned at this moment. Although he was trying his best to get rid of Bibi Dong, it was undeniable that Bibi Dong's appearance was the most beautiful he had ever seen. But the person in front of him was actually able to rival Bibi Dong in beauty, which was truly rare.

But Chen Yao was used to seeing beautiful women, and his own condition was not good at the moment. He was filled with a sense of crisis. Looking at the silver-haired woman in front of him, he frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"Who are you, and why are you blocking my way?"

Chapter 163 Gu Yuena

However, the silver-haired girl did not respond, but stared coldly at Chen Yao before slowly speaking after a moment.

"It seems I didn't choose the wrong person. This level of dark soul power is nothing compared to the so-called ultimate darkness."

As she spoke, a black hole condensed in the girl's hand, with dark energy faintly spreading from it, seemingly as a comparison with Chen Yao.

"Find me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao raised an eyebrow, murmured softly, and then, not bothering to think further, activated his soul power, preparing to rush towards the girl's side.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flickered in the girl's aloof and cold eyes, but she still moved swiftly to block Chen Yao.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to just ignore me and leave like that?"

Chen Yao remained expressionless and spoke indifferently.

"I don't know what you want to do, but if you're not looking to cause me trouble, you'd better leave with me."

The girl was taken aback by what she heard, then turned to look at Martial Soul City behind Chen Yao, which had been erupting with astonishing soul power all day. She looked thoughtful and then nodded.

"Come back to the Heavenly Dou Great Forest with me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao glanced sideways, staring at the silver-haired girl. After a moment, he voiced his guess.

"So you are the part that controlled the elemental power that split off from the old dragon god after its death?"

The silver-haired girl's expression darkened slightly. Clearly, she harbored deep resentment towards the Dark Lord for abandoning the Soul Beast race, which caused their side to be pale and unable to hold their heads high in the God Realm for countless years. It would be strange if she were in a good mood after hearing Chen Yao mention it.

"Since you've guessed it, then come with me."

However, Chen Yao shook his head and let out a cold laugh.

"Although the Dark Lord allied with you soul beasts back then, I am now a genuine human. I don't trust you soul beasts. Going to the Star Dou Great Forest with you would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, with my life and death entirely at your mercy. Rather than going to the Star Dou Great Forest with you, I'd rather shout here and have Bibi Dong take me back. At least my reputation will be secure."

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired girl frowned.

"What do you mean? You don't believe in soul beasts? In other words, you don't intend to carry on the legacy of the Dark Lord?"

"It's not entirely true that she left behind a will. It seems she's still alive. And although she did leave behind a clause in her legacy to help your soul beasts fight back, it's not a hard and fast rule. Whether or not to implement it depends on me. Although I'm tempted by the conditions she offered, I don't want to have too much contact with you until my strength reaches a level equal to your soul beast race."

Chen Yao responded calmly.

"You're quite frank, but aren't you afraid I'll forcibly take you back? Your current situation isn't very good."

The silver-haired girl said with some surprise.

"It's not just me, your situation isn't good either. According to what the Dark Lord left behind, your injuries back then were not light, and the gods in the heavens are watching you closely. I don't believe you dare to walk out openly. You must have suppressed a lot of your strength, right?"

"Facing you now, although I'm not confident I can escape, making a commotion to alert that woman who's been searching for me like a madwoman is easy. You tell me, when she arrives and forces you to unleash your full power, with the eyes of the gods on you, do you soul beasts still have any hope?"

Chen Yao stared at the silver-haired girl with a playful expression and said something amusing.

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired girl instinctively clenched her fists.

Chen Yao is right. After sensing Chen Yao's dark aura from the Azure Bull Python, she awoke and became extremely loyal to the matter. She searched almost the entire Star Dou Great Forest and found the place where Chen Yao was kidnapped by Bibi Dong, discovering many traces.

Because her subordinates knew nothing about the Dark Lord's affairs back then, and fearing that something might go wrong, she weighed the pros and cons and chose to suppress her own strength, following the traces left in the forest, and went to Wuhun City.

However, at that time, Chen Yao was locked in the secret room by Bibi Dong, and he had no soul power left.

Given the formidable strength of the Spirit Hall itself, she couldn't think of any good solutions and could only temporarily settle down in Spirit City.

She believed that as the successor of that person from back then, even if she was trapped for a while, she could never be trapped forever. A few years was just a short nap for her, and she could wait.

But she didn't expect that after four years, when she finally managed to meet him again, she put aside her past resentment towards the Dark Lord and intended to sincerely cooperate with his successor once more, only to be met with his distrust. This caused a surge of anger to rise in her heart.

“Alright, since you don’t want to contact spirit beasts for the time being, I won’t force you. We spirit beasts have an equal alliance with you and a sincere desire to cooperate. We will never offend you. Although I don’t know what you’ve been through all these years, since you want to get rid of the Spirit Hall’s pursuit, I can help you. Wherever you want to go, I can use spatial power to teleport you.”

The silver-haired girl thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and abandoned the idea of ​​taking action. She didn't want to strain her relationship with Chen Yao, who was so important to her, nor did she want to attract the attention of the Spirit Hall.

"No, I dare not enter your spatial teleportation. I would rather take a few more steps."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao shook his head repeatedly, his eyes filled with distrust.

The silver-haired girl took another deep breath, forcibly maintaining her friendly demeanor, and said.

“I understand. I’ll go with you. Although I can’t use my full strength for now, I can still barely exert the power of a human Title Douluo and can protect you. When you are strong enough, I hope you can fulfill the Dark Lord’s will, cooperate with us soul beasts, and launch a counterattack against the God Realm so that humans and soul beasts can truly live in peace.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that the Lord of Soul Beasts would make such a request. But after a moment, Chen Yao grinned and nodded.

“Ever since I accepted the legacy of the Dark Lord, I have been destined to stand on the opposite side of those gods. Therefore, I must admit that your proposal is very tempting, so it is decided.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yao turned around and sped towards the edge of the forest. Staying in this place for even a second longer risked being confronted, so he dared not linger.

The silver-haired girl was taken aback upon hearing this. Looking at Chen Yao's speeding back, a slight smile appeared on her usually cold and aloof face, which resembled an extremely cold snow mountain. She flashed and caught up with Chen Yao.

"Our meeting just now was a bit unpleasant. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Gu Yuena."
