Gu Rong gave Tang Hao a deep look, her tone carrying a hint of warning: “I hope you can keep your promise today.” After saying that, he didn’t linger any longer, turned around and left with Ning Rongrong, quickly departing from Shrek Academy, this place of trouble.
Once Bone Douluo’s figure was far away, Tang Hao’s cold gaze swept over the Shrek Seven Devils, and the pressure of a Title Douluo was released once again, weighing heavily on everyone’s hearts.
“None of you saw what happened tonight, and none of you are allowed to utter a word about it!” Overwhelmed by the majesty of Haotian Douluo, the Shrek members dared not raise any objections and quickly nodded in agreement, none daring to harbor the slightest thought of disobeying.
Seeing that everyone had given in and kept quiet, Tang Hao didn’t linger any longer.
He took Tang San and the still-emotional Xiao Wu and disappeared silently into the depths of the night.
On the way away, Ning Rongrong, full of curiosity, couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa, what did you and Tang Hao talk about privately just now?” Gu Rong smiled knowingly and laughed heartily.
“We can’t take that soul beast with us, but we can’t miss out on any of the benefits.” “Tang San has been chosen by the Heavenly Curtain and is about to enter the Nine-Tailed Fox’s Chaos instance.
When he returns from the instance, the ninjutsu opportunities and exotic inheritances he brings back must be shared by our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.” “Originally, none of our sect members were selected for the dungeon, and we were worried about missing a great opportunity.
Now, with this opportunity, we can make up for this shortcoming.” Ning Rongrong blinked, still somewhat worried: “What if Tang Hao goes back on his word and refuses to keep the agreement?” Gu Rong spoke with unwavering confidence and absolute certainty: “He wouldn’t dare.
He has already offended the Spirit Hall.
If he were to offend our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as well, it would be like making enemies on all sides.
No normal person would do something so foolish!” After listening, Ning Rongrong nodded as if she understood but not quite.
…
Three days later, the celestial canopy reappeared in the sky.
Without dazzling lights or unnecessary embellishments, five brilliant beams of light shot into the sky from five different locations on the Douluo Continent, piercing straight into the heavens.
In an instant, the sky split into five, transforming into five independent screens that simultaneously displayed the locations where the five selected individuals were teleported to.
In the dungeon world, night shrouds the streets and alleys, where lights twinkle.
Yu Zhi looked around and immediately recognized the small shop in front of him.
His eyes lit up: “Ichiraku Ramen?!” Although it was late at night, the shop was still brightly lit, it was a famous shop in the world!
I’m so lucky, this is practically the safest place I’ve ever been.
Having survived the Nine-Tails’ chaos, they will be unaffected even by Pain’s turmoil, making them a true safe haven.
Since we’re here, let’s have a bowl of ramen first, to fulfill our wish of watching Naruto, and wait for Dugu Bo to come and join us.
He pushed open the door and walked into the store, smiling at the owner and saying, “Boss, one order of miso chashu ramen, please.” The person typed immediately and enthusiastically replied, “Okay, sir, it will be ready in a moment.” With the blessing of the celestial canopy rules, barriers such as clothing, language, and writing are directly smoothed out without any obstacles.
Not long after, a steaming bowl of ramen was served.
Yu Zhi was engrossed in slurping it when the shop door was suddenly pushed open.
Dugu Bo walked in slowly, glanced at him, and said with a hint of mockery, “Kid, what time is it?
You seem to be quite leisurely.” Before Zhi could reply, he went straight to the counter and said, “Boss, one of the same as him.” “OK!” Without looking up, Yu Zhi casually replied, “I was already waiting for you.
Anyway, I have a mark on me, so you’ll find me sooner or later.” Two days earlier, Dugu Bo had been traveling day and night to the Spirit Hall to discuss with Bibi Dong in private.
He had specially planted a soul power mark on Yu Zhi to facilitate their quick reunion in the dungeon.
Their familiar and casual conversation was clearly transmitted throughout the entire Douluo Continent through the sky.
In an instant, chaos erupted across the mainland.
“The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall actually went to eat noodles as soon as he entered the dungeon?
He’s so carefree!” “Are you just going to give up on such a tremendous opportunity instead of seizing it?” “What’s going on with Poison Douluo?
Where is he going?
Who is he going to meet up with?” “Poison Douluo actually went to see Yu Zhi?
They actually knew each other before, and their relationship is so close?” “Something’s not right!
Could it be that Dugu Bo has secretly defected to the Spirit Hall?
Or does this Holy Son have other intentions and want to rebel against the Spirit Hall?” Discussions rose and fell, and everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
The atmosphere in the main hall of the Heavenly Beacon Palace was as oppressive as a winter’s day.
The Snow Night Emperor gazed at the scene in the sky, his aura icy and bone-chilling, his face extremely gloomy.
“What exactly happened?” he asked in a deep voice, his tone full of disbelief.
“How could Dugu Bo be so familiar with Yu Zhi?
It seems they had arranged to work together beforehand?” “Could it be…
that Dugu Bo wants to win over the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?
But why haven’t I, the Emperor, received a single word about it?” As he spoke, his voice grew louder and louder, almost bursting with rage, nearly roaring.
The entire court of officials remained silent, like cicadas in winter, and no one dared to utter a sound.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Xueye’s gaze turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice, “Who has been in charge of liaising with and following up on Dugu Bo’s movements these past few days?” An official, trembling all over, stepped forward, head bowed, not daring to raise his head: “Your Majesty…
Your Majesty, it is I, your subject.” Emperor Xueye’s gaze was like a knife as he stared coldly at him: “Dugu Bo left Tiandou City these past two days, saying he was going out to prepare for matters.
Why didn’t he report it?” The official trembled and hurriedly explained, “His Majesty previously decreed that Dugu Bo acts according to his own will and should not be interfered with or disturbed as much as possible…” One sentence left the Snow Night Emperor feeling suffocated and speechless.
He did say those words himself, but at that time Dugu Bo was still a member of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Now, he has clearly betrayed the Heavenly Dou Empire!
After a long silence, Emperor Xueye wearily waved his hand, his tone icy: “Drag him away and dispose of him.” “Your Majesty, spare me!
Your Majesty, spare me!” the officials cried out on their knees, but not one of them pleaded for mercy.
If a titled Douluo is subtly betraying the empire, someone has to take the blame.
This responsibility will never fall on the emperor.
Once the hall had quieted down, Emperor Xueye suddenly remembered something and asked, “Where is Dugu Bo’s granddaughter, Dugu Yan?
Where is she now?” None of the officials in the court responded.
Qian Renxue, disguised as a prince, stepped forward slowly and said calmly, “Father, as far as I know, Dugu Yan has already left Tiandou City.” Emperor Xueye held his forehead and sighed deeply, filled with helplessness and frustration.
Qian Renxue gazed at the sky, her thoughts equally complex.
She knew very well that once Dugu Bo joined the Spirit Hall, his status would definitely not be low!
However, Dugu Bo did not join the Hall of Offerings.
That leaves only one possibility!
Dugu Bo has joined forces with Bibi Dong!
A hint of fear and seriousness flashed across Qian Renxue’s eyes, and she sighed inwardly: What a brilliant move!
I underestimated you, my dear sister!
