Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 200 Escaping the Spirit Hall

Bibi Dong had considered taking advantage of the opportunity she was creating for Hu Liena to lead a large number of Title Douluos to the Slaughter City, ambush Tang Hao outside, and kill him and his son as soon as he came out.

But after thinking about it, she didn't do that.

Firstly, the two great empires are not peaceful. The Clear Sky Sect has only retreated from the martial world, not died out. Who knows how many Title Douluos they have? Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are both outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards the Spirit Hall, so she is not at ease.

Secondly, the Star Luo Empire is also restless. Although the Lower Four Sects are basically controlled by the Spirit Hall, the Star Luo royal family is clearly not convinced by the Spirit Hall. The journey to the Slaughter City is long and arduous. Once Star Luo and Heaven Dou join forces, the Spirit Hall might be wiped out by the time Bibi Dong returns.

Although the possibility was small, Bibi Dong did not want to take the risk.

After making up some excuse and leaving the Spirit Hall with a number of Title Douluos, Ghost Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo exchanged a glance, knowing that their stage had come.

"Hey, can't you watch where you're going? A titled Douluo like you, bumping into me while walking? Anyone who didn't know better would think you're blind!"

The two deliberately bumped into each other while walking, and Ghost Leopard Douluo was the first to speak and make a sarcastic remark.

Ghost Douluo sneered:

"You were the one who bumped into me with your shoulder, what a hypocrite!"

"The guilty party is accusing the innocent first? I think you're the guilty party."

"You damn leopard, are you looking for trouble?"

"Ghost Leopard, it's Ghost Leopard! Unlike you, you're a complete ghost, sneaky and cunning."

The argument between the two quickly attracted other Title Douluos. Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Elder of the Spirit Hall, approached and frowned, saying:

"Two Title Douluos arguing over such a trivial matter—what kind of behavior is this?"

Ghost Douluo sneered:

"Golden Crocodile Douluo, that damned leopard has been annoyed with me for a long time. Today, he must have had the guts to pick a fight with me."

Ghost Leopard Douluo retorted:

"I should be the one saying that to you!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

These two don't usually get along and often bicker, but what's wrong with them today? Are they on fire?

Soon, the other Title Douluos who remained in the Spirit Hall were also drawn over to watch the fight.

It was midnight when Hu Liena quietly arrived at the prison and saw the prison warden walking towards her.

"Your Excellency, Holy Maiden!"

The jailer quickly bowed.

His orders were to go back to sleep at this time. Although he didn't know why his superiors would issue such an order, he had no right to question it.

Hu Liena nodded, put on her black cloak, and walked towards the prison.

Bai Yu was sitting in the prison cell with his eyes closed, resting, when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Hu Liena at the end of the corridor.

Hu Liena walked over quickly, opened the cell door, and whispered:

"Come with me."

After saying that, she helped Bai Yu put on the same black cloak.

The two walked through the gloomy prison and soon arrived at the back door.

"I've already gotten rid of the jailer, but there's a trap here. Follow me."

Led by Hu Liena, Bai Yu bypassed the mechanism at the back door of the prison and the two arrived at a courtyard.

The moment Bai Yu stepped into the courtyard, he felt as if he had seen a paradise on earth, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and fountains and countless flowers pleasing to the eye.

Just then, he heard Hu Liena's voice:

"Wake up!"

Suddenly, Bai Yu's vision blurred, and the paradise turned into a secret room.

"This is an illusion personally set up by a Title Douluo. Once someone escapes from prison, they will get lost in this illusion until they die."

Hu Liena offered an explanation, but judging from her appearance, the illusion had no effect on her whatsoever.

"I naturally have ways to become immune to illusions."

After explaining in a low voice, Hu Liena led Bai Yu to the secret door of the secret room, and the two quietly left the room.

Hu Liena whispered:

"Once you leave, you'll be in the core area of ​​the Spirit Hall. Don't panic no matter what happens; leave it to me. Under no circumstances should you clash with the patrolling guards, understand?"

Bai Yu nodded.

The two left the secret room and walked down a dark corridor.

Suddenly, a light came on at the corner, and a group of guards happened to encounter the two.

"Who is it?"

The captain of the guard looked on warily.

Hu Liena had already removed her black cloak. The captain of the guard saw her face as soon as he finished speaking and chuckled awkwardly:

"So it's the Holy Maiden. My apologies for my rudeness."

The captain of the guards was about to lead his men away when he suddenly saw Bai Yu and asked in surprise:

"Holy Maiden, who is this?"

"He is Chrysanthemum Douluo's new disciple. Chrysanthemum Douluo has temporarily assigned me to train him. We just came out of the training room."

The captain of the guards suddenly realized what was happening, and without questioning Bai Yu, he let the two of them go.

Hu Liena didn't forget to whisper an explanation to Bai Yu:

"This is the core area, and the guards' patrols are very lax because it's impossible for outsiders to sneak in."

Bai Yu nodded.

Hu Liena felt a little guilty, and her attempt to explain at this moment seemed somewhat like an attempt to cover up her misunderstanding.

The two continued walking, encountering two more groups of guards along the way, but Hu Liena managed to evade them both.

Soon, the two encountered the fourth wave of guards. This time, the guard captain insisted on questioning Bai Yu.

"Holy Maiden, forgive my intrusion, but I have never heard of Elder Ju taking on a disciple. May I examine her carefully?"

Hu Liena's face turned cold, and she exuded an aura of authority:

"What are you saying, questioning me? Or should I call Elder Ju back, or send you there so you can ask him yourself?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo followed Bibi Dong out. Hu Liena used this to scare the guard captain, who was naturally too frightened to utter a sound.

And so, the two of them passed another test.

"We'll be there soon. If we try to get out through the main passage, we'll encounter at least three more waves of guards. But I know a place where you can exit through cliffs—it's very dangerous, but I have a way. Follow me!"

Hu Liena led Bai Yu carefully to a side room, then opened the window, revealing a bottomless cliff outside.

Hu Liena took out two pills, handed one to Bai Yu, and explained:

"Eat this, and you'll gain the gecko's abilities for the duration of an incense stick burning. We need to climb out."

After saying that, Hu Liena took the pill first.

Bai Yu also put the pill in his mouth, then spat it out when she turned her head and put it into his soul tool.

He wanted to gain the gecko's abilities, and there were many ways to do so, whether by buying them from the store or modifying the system. There was no need to risk taking this mysterious little pill.

Moreover, he doesn't necessarily need the gecko's abilities; with climbing tools and system modifications, he can still find a way out.

The two climbed out of the window and scrambled along the cliff face. Below was a bottomless abyss, where even a boulder the size of a watermelon falling would not make an echo.

The cold wind howled, turning Hu Liena's face pale.

After some time, the two finally climbed to the top of a mountain, and Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief.

"Follow me, I know where to go."

Two hours later, the two finally saw a few scattered lights. It was a small town, which meant they had left the territory of the Spirit Hall.
