Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

Chapter 152 Saving Private Tang Ya

Some things you have to face alone.

For example, she had to save her teacher, Xiaoya, all by herself. Without saying goodbye, Beibei embarked on a journey to save Tangya.

A misty morning.

Beibei, dressed in a black robe, arrived at a tavern outside Shrek City, a place where he and Tang Ya used to sneak out.

The original boss had changed from a middle-aged man to an old man lying in a recliner, squinting and rocking back in his chair.

"Ale."

Beibei placed a few copper coins on the counter, and the old man glanced at them before reaching out with his cane to put the coins back into the counter.

"Pour this somewhat gloomy young man a glass of ale," the old man called out to the kitchen.

Beibei smiled and shook her head, then found a seat.

How did I manage to connect the towering, indomitable ancestor with this old man at the tavern? The owner's expression and appearance are just like...

It's like his wife has died.

He suddenly touched his face unconsciously.

The waiter immediately brought over a cup of warmed beer, the same kind as Haotian Douluo's. The cloudy liquid had a musty smell, reminiscent of the decadent Haotian Douluo from ten thousand years ago.

"Hey handsome, all alone? How about buying me a drink?" A cheeky, off-key voice rang out from behind Beibei.

Beibei's eyes widened.

Then, four spirit rings appeared instantly, revealing his level 48 cultivation without reservation, and he launched a Thunder Dragon Claw attack backward.

The opponent showed no anger or resentment. Four spirit rings appeared, and they caught Beibei's attack with perfect coordination.

"Why did you guys follow us?" Bei Bei looked at Xu Sanshi, who had caught her attack, and the group of Shrek Academy students behind him with a puzzled expression.

Among these people was even Zhang Lexuan.

"What? You, Young Master Bei, can go, but we can't? Have you forgotten the former glory of the Twin Stars of the Outer Courtyard?"

Xu Sanshi sat down next to Bei Bei with a cheeky grin, put his arm around his shoulder, and drank his beer in one gulp without any hesitation.

"Senior Brother, that's not fair of you. We're all from Shrek Academy, and you actually sneaked out."

A junior who knew Beibei smiled.

"We're going to do something bad, so we came along too," a newly promoted senior female student from the inner academy said slyly.

She nudged Zhang Lexuan and teased, "Look at Senior Sister, she can't wait to go out and do something naughty as soon as she hears about it."

Zhang Lexuan slapped the female student in embarrassment and anger.

Beibei saw no joy in her friends' antics; instead, she felt an indescribable worry and anger.

"You're all being ridiculous! Even with Miss Ning's approval, do you know that this is tarnishing the reputation of Shrek Academy for its new students?" Bei Bei angrily rebuked.

Although some people at higher levels had given their approval to the prison break, it was still something that couldn't be done in the open.

Beibei felt that this was her own business, and that it was best for her to bear the blame herself, no matter what.

Looking at Beibei's red eyes, Zhang Lexuan even unconsciously took a step back.

"Beibei, I'm not trying to be mean, but Xu Sanshi stood between Beibei and the others."

"If you hoard the intelligence, then we'll be left without any information to rescue Tang Ya. We'll be like headless flies."

You should know what would happen if you were surrounded and attacked by these experts.

Xu Sanshi didn't talk to Beibei about those empty words; instead, he went straight to threatening her.

Beibei blushed with embarrassment at Xu Sanshi's shameless behavior, and finally sighed helplessly.

He punched Xu Sanshi in the chest, looked up and smiled, "If you guys are led by this idiot, you'll definitely fall into a pit. I'll reluctantly become your captain."

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Seeing Beibei regain her usual gentle smile, everyone at Shrek Academy cheered excitedly.

They surrounded Beibei and tossed him into the air.

"Boss! Mr. Bei will pay for everything in the store. Bring out your best stuff!" Xu Sanshi shouted excitedly to the boss at the counter.

The old man waved his hand and called the waiter to prepare food for the young people who were plotting a prison break without trying to hide it.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone gathered together to make plans.

"Shrek City has been renovated by the Douluo Federation, especially the prison," Bei Bei said, pointing to the prison on the map.

Everyone nodded solemnly. Now, even entering Shrek City requires identification; the extent of this transformation is unimaginable.

"As far as I know, that prison was modified by a level nine soul guidance master named Benjamin. The entire prison is meticulously designed, and even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to infiltrate."

"No way, this strict? Is this guy a psychopath?" Xu Sanshi exclaimed in astonishment after seeing the prison's design plans.

The materials used in this prison are not luxurious; they are not much better than those used to imprison ordinary Soul Masters.

Yet, these very materials were used to create a place that even a Title Douluo would find difficult to infiltrate; it was truly terrifying.

Beibei nodded in affirmation of Xu Sanshi's words.

"Actually, even with just the map Ning Tian gave us, we wouldn't be able to get in. But luckily we have a backup plan," Bei Bei said with a smile.

"A backup plan?" Everyone looked at Beibei's smile with confusion.

Kobe Bryant, whose real name was Xu He, was born He Caitou.

He now sits inside Shrek City prison watching the surveillance footage from the third passage, his expression cold and serious, like a spy working from the inside.

Several men in black suddenly appeared in the corridor, and Kobe slapped himself in the face.

"Can't you guys be a little more professional? Walk along the wall or climb the ceiling?" Kobe sighed helplessly.

In reality, he was acting as an inside man, and with the approval of others. He couldn't have helped them at all without their consent.

After all, having another group of unstable geniuses is not as good as doing them a favor by returning Tang Ya to them, a decision that Ning Zhiyuan and Huo Yuhao agreed to.

He almost laughed in anger as he looked at the group of people swaggering around on the monitor screen. They didn't seem like they were there to break into prison; they looked more like they were there to walk the runway.

Finally, with a dark expression, he turned off the monitor screen and congratulated them, saying, "I hope you can take Tang Ya away, my former comrades."

The thought of them being able to live a peaceful life in the future warmed Lao Da's heart and made him feel warm all over.

"Beibei, what's wrong?" Xu Sanshi, who had infiltrated with her, asked Beibei.

Now is the crucial moment for the infiltration, but Bebe seems to have a problem with his ears; he keeps tapping on them.

"It's nothing, I think I was just hallucinating." Beibei regained her composure and continued leading the team toward Tang Ya's cell.

He thought he had just heard the voice of a middle-aged man, a voice that was incredibly tired and weary, like that of a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

"You shouldn't have taken this path."
