Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 163 Gu Yuena

However, the silver-haired girl did not respond, but just stared at Chen Yao coldly, and only spoke slowly after a moment.

"It seems that I have found the right person. This level of dark soul power is no more than the so-called ultimate darkness."

As she spoke, a black hole condensed on the girl's hand, on which dark energy was faintly spreading, as if in contrast to Chen Yao.

"Find me?"

Chen Yao raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and murmured softly. Then, not wanting to think any more, he activated his soul power and made a move to rush towards the girl.

When the girl saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in her distant and cold eyes, but she still moved to block Chen Yao.

"Isn't it a bit bad that you just ignore me and leave on your own?"

Chen Yao's expression remained unchanged and he spoke indifferently.

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

The girl was stunned when she heard this, then turned her head to look behind Chen Yao, at the Wuhun City that had been continuously erupting with astonishing spiritual power all day long. With a thoughtful look on her face, she nodded.

"Come back to Tiandou Forest with me."

After these words were spoken, Chen Yao slightly side-glanced and stared at the silver-haired girl. After a moment, he expressed his guess.

"It seems that you are the part that controls the power of the elements after the old dragon god died and split apart?"

The silver-haired girl's face darkened slightly. It was obvious that she had a deep grudge against the Dark Lord for abandoning the soul beast tribe, which caused their group to be pale and unable to raise their heads in the God Realm for countless years. It would be strange if she was in a good mood after hearing Chen Yao mention it.

"Since you have guessed it, follow me."

However, Chen Yao shook his head and sneered.

"Although the Dark Lord formed an alliance with you soul beasts back then, I am now a real human being. I don't trust you soul beasts. If I go to the Star Dou Great Forest with you, I will be like a lamb entering a tiger's mouth. My life and death will be at the mercy of you soul beasts. Instead of going to the Star Dou Great Forest with you, I might as well shout here and ask Bibi Dong to take me back. At least I can live without worries."

The silver-haired girl frowned when she heard this.

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

"It's not entirely true to say it's her last will. She doesn't seem to be dead yet. And although she did leave a rule in her inheritance to help you soul beasts counterattack, it's not mandatory. Whether it's implemented depends on me. Although I am tempted by the conditions she gave, at least, I don't want to have too much contact with you before my strength reaches an equal level with your soul beast tribe."

Chen Yao responded calmly.

"You are honest, but aren't you afraid that I will take you back by force? Your current condition is not very good."

The silver-haired girl said in surprise.

"It's not just me. Your condition isn't good either. According to what the Dark Lord left behind, your injuries were not light. And the gods in the sky are watching you covetously. I don't believe you dare to come out openly. You must have suppressed a lot of your strength, right?

Facing you now, although I am not sure of escaping, it is still easy to create some noise and let the woman behind me who is looking for me like crazy notice it. You said that when she rushes over, she will force you to use all your strength, and the gods will cast their eyes on you. Do you still have hope for you soul beasts?"

Chen Yao had a playful look on his face at this moment. He stared at the silver-haired girl and said playfully.

The silver-haired girl clenched her fists subconsciously when she heard that.

What Chen Yao said was right. After she sensed Chen Yao's dark aura from the Azure Bull Python, she woke up. She was extremely loyal to this matter and searched almost the entire Star Dou Great Forest. She found the place where Chen Yao was abducted by Bibi Dong and found a lot of traces.

However, since her subordinates knew nothing about the Dark Lord and were worried about something going wrong, she weighed the pros and cons and chose to suppress her own strength, following the traces left in the forest and finding Wuhun City.

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

Coupled with the powerful strength of the Spirit Hall itself, she could not think of any good solution and could only live in the Spirit City for the time being.

She believed that as the descendant of that man, even if she was trapped for a while, she would never be trapped for a lifetime. A few years was just a nap for her, and she could afford to wait.

But she didn't expect that after four years, she finally waited for the person. She put aside her past resentment towards the Dark Lord and planned to cooperate sincerely with his successor again, but what she got in return was the other party's distrust, which made her feel a little angry.

"Okay, since you don't want to have any contact with soul beasts for the time being, I won't force you. We soul beasts are equal allies with you and have a sincere desire for cooperation. We will never offend you. Although I don't know what you have been through over the years, since you want to get rid of the tracking of the Spirit Hall, I can help you. Wherever you want to go, I can use the power of space to teleport you."

The silver-haired girl thought about it, took a deep breath, and gave up the idea of ​​taking action. She didn't want to ruin her relationship with Chen Yao, a very important person, nor did she want to attract people from the Spirit Hall.

"No, I don't dare to enter your space teleportation. I would rather take two more steps."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao shook his head repeatedly, his eyes full of distrust.

The silver-haired girl took a deep breath again, forcing herself to maintain her kind attitude, and said.

"I understand. I will go with you. Although I cannot use my strength for the time being, I can still barely exert the strength of your human Titled Douluo and escort you. When you are strong enough, I hope you can fulfill the will of the Dark Lord and reach a cooperation with our soul beasts to counterattack the God Realm, so that humans and soul beasts can achieve true peace."

When Chen Yao heard this, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He did not expect that the soul beast leader in front of him would actually make such a request. But after a moment, Chen Yao grinned and nodded.

"Ever since I accepted the Dark Lord's inheritance, I was destined to stand on the opposite side of those gods. So, I have to admit that your proposal is very tempting. I have decided to do so."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yao turned around and rushed out of the forest. In this place, if he stayed for one more second, there would be a risk of being found, so he didn't dare to delay too much.

The silver-haired girl was stunned when she heard that. Looking at Chen Yao's speeding back, a smile appeared on her face, which was as cold as an extremely cold snowy mountain. She flashed and caught up with Chen Yao.

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

"Chen Yao."

A few days later, in a small border town of Tiandou Empire.

"Puchi!" Chen Yao, who was wearing a black robe and a hood so that his face could not be seen, stabbed the bandit in front of him in the throat with a single knife.

As the figure fell softly, Chen Yao wiped the bloody dagger, looked around, and looked at the broken body parts lying on the ground. The strong smell of blood lingered around his nose, which immediately dissipated some of the depression that Chen Yao had accumulated over the past four years.

When Chen Yao put away the blade and was about to continue on his way, his peripheral vision suddenly glanced at a head among the corpses on the ground, which was still intact and had a clear face.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Just at this moment, Gu Yuena from behind also came up, looking at Chen Yao who was staring at a head in deep thought, and felt a little confused.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, just some insurance."

Chen Yao shook his head, then bent down, stretched out the dagger in his hand, pierced the skin of the head, and began to slide it inside the skull.

"Why did you choose to disguise yourself as this man?"

Looking at the face full of wrinkles, small eyes with too narrow a distance between them, a strawberry nose, extremely vulgar facial features, and a head that was extremely distorted due to the fear in life, Gu Yuena frowned tightly and then continued.

"Even if you disguise yourself as this person, your martial spirit cannot be hidden. There is actually not much point in doing so. It would be more convenient to cover your face like you are doing now."

Gu Yuena made a kind suggestion, but Chen Yao remained unmoved and focused on the work at hand.

When he followed Guimei, although his soul power did not improve much, he was still familiar with the techniques of assassination and disguise. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to do such a risky job as robbery with a soul power of more than ten levels.

Soon, under Chen Yao's delicate operation, a piece of Zen-thin skin with a little blood was removed.

Chen Yao looked at the dough in his hand that looked like a work of art, with a slight smile on his face. He sighed in his heart that his craftsmanship had not become rusty. Then he slowly stood up and kicked the bloody head with his foot. Then he came to a small stream nearby, held the dough gently with both hands, and placed it on the water.

After washing the blood stains off it, Chen Yao hurriedly took out a bunch of bottles and jars from the soul guide. After completing the preservation process on the man's face in order, he took out a jade box with a slightly cold air and carefully placed the man's face in the jade box to freeze it.

After finishing all this, the task was accomplished. Chen Yao grinned, slowly stood up, put the jade box away, and then said to Gu Yuena.

"Almost there, let's continue on our way."

Gu Yuena nodded subconsciously, but there was hesitation on her face. After a moment, she couldn't help it and asked Chen Yao.

"You're not really going to wear that mask, are you? It's so ugly!"

Although she was a soul beast and did not have much feeling towards the appearance of humans, the person chosen by Chen Yao was too ugly, which was a little beyond her bottom line, making Gu Yuena a little unable to hold back.

"Of course. After three days, I will wear this mask once it is made. You will probably be facing that face for a long time afterwards."

Chen Yao said this expressionlessly, and continued on his way forward without looking back, leaving Gu Yuena alone there with a somewhat cracked expression.

A few days passed, and they were in the prosperous Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire.

There is a constant stream of traffic and people walking on the streets.

Among them, there was an extremely strange duo that attracted the attention of passers-by around them.

Although the woman was dressed simply, she had a stunning face and an elegant demeanor that aroused endless reverie.

On the other hand, the man, although dressed in luxurious clothes, had a hunched body, rat-like eyes, a squirrel-like face, and was simply a sight to behold.

Every glance at it makes one frown.

One can't help but wonder what kind of relationship there is between this woman with an ethereal and extraordinary temperament, who looks like a banished fairy, and this wretched-looking old man.

At this moment, the woman inadvertently glanced at the old man beside her with a bit of disgust in her eyes, and subconsciously distanced herself from him.

However, the old man turned a blind eye to all these malicious looks. His lips were always fixed on that disgusting and obscene smile. His eyes were full of lust as he kept scanning the beautiful young women passing by.

Just like that, this strange duo walked through the crowd and soon arrived at the foot of the only independent mountain in Tiandou City.

Looking up, the mist on the mountain is like a layer of fairy gauze, and the palace on the top of the peak is looming, poetic and picturesque, like a fairyland.

"Chen Yao, which human force is this? Is it safe here?"

Gu Yuena was looking at the magnificent building vaguely visible on the top of the mountain with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Although she has been out for four years, in Wuhun City, apart from exploring Chen Yao's dark energy aura every day, she mostly stays in the house to recuperate from her injuries. She does not have a deep understanding of the human world.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect is one of the top three sects of mankind. It is one of the few sects that assists the Spiritual Martial Arts. It is wealthy and powerful, and I have a long history with it. Its relationship with the Spiritual Martial Arts Hall is not very close. It is a good place to recuperate. I can also practice with peace of mind here. As for safety, that depends on you."

Chen Yao, who had transformed into an old man, was now generous in explaining things to Gu Yuena.

"Don't worry, I control the six elements, and I am extremely skilled in the use of space power. Even if someone in this sect has ill intentions, I can help you escape safely. I will let you see my sincerity as an ally."

Although Gu Yuena's expression was serious and cold, her tone was firm and a little proud.

"Oh, I hope so."

Chen Yao chuckled and responded ambiguously. In fact, in his heart, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Gu Yuena were almost the same. He could trust them but not completely. The most important thing for him now was to recover his soul power as soon as possible and get his strength back to the peak, so that he would have some confidence.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward and slowly walked towards the mountain.
