Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 209 Goodbye Chen Ming
As the situation became more serious, people started to target the Spirit Hall guards, and began to question why they were not the murderers who committed the crimes in the streets.

But what they didn't know was how much pressure the guards standing in front of Chen Yao were feeling as they looked at Chen Yao's playful eyes.

But they cannot ignore the dissatisfied people around them.

Although they were surrounded by people from Tiandou City, they did not have any aversion to the Spirit Hall. The rotation of guards was announced by the Spirit Hall under the pretext of a joint exercise, which seemed acceptable on the surface. In addition, the Spirit Hall was awakening spirits for free in every corner of the continent, and was recruiting and training civilian spirit masters. It had a very good reputation among the grassroots masses and was deeply loved by the people.

But that was in the past. Today, the Spirit Hall has set up extremely strict defenses at each city gate of Tiandou City, and the intensity of inspections is outrageous, which has caused dissatisfaction among many grassroots people.

You know, although these people are insignificant, they are precisely the foundation of the Spirit Hall. The reason why the Spirit Hall can be so powerful, passed down from generation to generation, with endless incense, and branch halls spread all over the continent, is not just relying on those upper-level Titled Douluo.

Instead, they rely on their reputation among the people, which enables them to discover and attract one civilian talent after another who are buried among the crowd.

And now the decision made by the Spirit Hall is obviously shaking its extremely solid foundation. This shows how strong Bibi Dong's determination is to find Chen Yao. She actually made such a decision. However, the people in the Worship Hall are like dead people, turning a blind eye to Bibi Dong's self-destructive behavior.

And even though this decision was implemented for a short period of time and only caused discomfort to the Spirit Hall, it obviously could no longer arouse any public outrage.

The higher-ups in the Spirit Hall also knew the key to this, and they issued orders layer by layer, telling the guards not to embarrass the civilians unless necessary.

So when the guards heard the uproar around them, they felt the pressure instantly peak. Even if they were afraid of Chen Yao, they could not shrink back.

"You, name, martial spirit, and spirit ring, show them immediately, otherwise we will take measures!"

One of the guards shook the spear in his hand and spoke through gritted teeth.

"as you wish."

Chen Yao grinned, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes, a ball of darkness like thick ink was gathering under his feet, and his soul power as vast as the sea was about to burst out.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the city gate behind the guards.

Hearing this voice, the guards who were originally nervous suddenly felt relieved and put away the spears in their hands.

Chen Yao's eyebrows also raised slightly.

Looking back, I saw a young commander wearing exquisite armor, with a handsome face and extraordinary heroic spirit, walking towards this side.

Behind the young man, there was an old man in a black robe with a strange temperament.

"Master Chen! Elder Nightingale!"

The guards saluted and spoke respectfully.

The young man ignored the guards and walked towards Chen Yao with great interest.

Chen Yao's gaze also stayed on these two people. The old man next to him was just a useless Douluo, so there was no need to pay attention to him. On the contrary, this young man gave him a familiar feeling. Who could he be?
This young man was obviously Chen Ming.

Chen Yao's current appearance has already been posted all over the streets and alleys of Tiandou City.

When Chen Yao suddenly attacked, although some people did not react, some were also startled and recognized the wanted criminal that the Spirit Hall had been looking for for a long time. They immediately ran into the city to report to Chen Ming.

Chen Yao was overjoyed, but he was not carried away by the joy.

You know, in order to find Chen Yao, the Spirit Hall has already noted down all his information in detail. His martial soul is dark, and its shape is similar to that of tentacles. Its strength is unknown, and its first six soul rings are black, black, black, black, black, red and black!

This was Chen Yao's strength before he escaped from the Spirit Hall.

At the beginning, when the Spirit Hall announced Chen Yao's strength, it naturally caused turmoil in the entire continent and caused an uproar. No one could believe that there was actually someone in the world who could possess such a terrifying spirit ring configuration. Some powerful people who knew the inside story and understood what this spirit ring meant also set their sights on Chen Yao. Countless people were looking for Chen Yao's whereabouts.

That is to say, Chen Yao and others were in the restricted area at that time, otherwise they would have known the news early without A Yin's reminder.

Although Chen Ming was full of jealousy and resentment towards Chen Yao, he also knew his own capabilities. After learning that Chen Yao was just outside the city, he did not take action immediately, but instead brought along a Titled Douluo stationed in the city before daring to come forward.

He just didn't believe it. It had only been less than two years since Chen Yao left the Spirit Hall. Even if he had improved a little, how much could he have improved? Although his spirit rings were terrifying, the gap between a Soul Sage and a Titled Douluo could not be made up by spirit rings alone!
"Chen Ming, the main hall means that if you find Chen Yao's whereabouts, you must report it immediately and not have any conflict with him. Do you know what you are doing now?"

Looking at Chen Ming who was walking towards Chen Yao with a smug look on his face, Night Parrot Douluo standing beside him spoke expressionlessly.

"Of course I know what I am doing. I have my own plans. Elder, please remember that I am the main person in charge this time. I hope you can cooperate!"

After saying that, Chen Ming ignored Night Parrot Douluo, whose eyes had turned sinister, forced a bright smile on his face, and walked towards Chen Yao.

"Haha, Chen Yao, long time no see. I never thought we would meet again in this way!"

At this moment, Chen Ming laughed loudly, with sarcasm in his voice. He felt relieved when he thought that Chen Yao, who had made him jealous at first, would be taken down by him soon.

"you know me?"

Chen Yao became curious after hearing what Chen Ming said.

When he was in the old principal's office, Chen Yao never even looked at Chen Ming. He just glanced at him briefly, said a few words, and after he left, he threw his impression of this person into the garbage disposal. He really couldn't remember it for a while.

Chen Yao's doubtful voice immediately froze the smile on Chen Ming's face, making it look as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

He didn't expect that although he was obsessed with Chen Yao and was jealous to death, in Chen Yao's eyes, he was just a minor character who was not worth remembering at all!

However, although he was furious in his heart, Chen Ming still managed to maintain a decent smile on his face.

"Haha, you are so forgetful. I am Chen Ming, whom you met in the principal's office."

Chen Ming did not mention that he and Chen Yao were from the same village, and that it was Chen Yao who recommended him to enter the Spirit Hall.

Seeing Chen Yao suddenly look enlightened, Chen Ming sneered and continued.

"Although we are old acquaintances, you are now wanted by the Spirit Hall. I hope you can surrender and come with us. Otherwise, we will have to use some means." As he said that, Chen Ming glanced at the old man beside him.

Even though he was dissatisfied with Chen Ming, since Chen Ming was the one who was pushed out to take the blame, as the main person in charge of this matter, he, as the elder, should really listen to Chen Ming!

And this time, Chen Yao was found. This Chen Ming was no longer a scapegoat, but a great contributor. Damn it, wasn't this Chen Yao hiding very well before? How come he suddenly ran out by himself? If he had known earlier, he would have stopped this task himself!
Cursing in his heart, Night Parrot Douluo could only cooperate with Chen Ming at this moment and released his own aura. A strong wind suddenly blew up around him, and nine shocking soul rings emerged behind him. The terrifying pressure swept towards Chen Yao.

Chen Yao did not have any well-known and impressive achievements on the mainland, and there was not even any posting about him in the Spirit Hall. Most people did not know that there was such a monster. However, after all, only Chen Yao's seven spirit rings were described, which made people subconsciously think that he was just a Soul Saint.

However, Night Parrot Douluo did not think that a mere Soul Saint could pose any threat to him, and naturally believed that Chen Yao could not withstand his pressure.

However, surprisingly, Chen Yao turned a blind eye to the pressure from the Titled Douluo. He looked relaxed and even looked at Chen Ming with interest.

"If I remember correctly, I was the one who brought you into the Spirit Hall, right? You have the ability to get to this point, but it's fine that you don't thank me, but instead you seem to hate me? Did something happen that I don't know about?"

Chen Yao's memory of Chen Ming was now completely unlocked. The boy who used to hide behind his father and was covered in dust and dirt, had now become a Soul Emperor and could even command Titled Douluo?
Chen Yao had to admit that this kid who came from the same remote mountain village as him was indeed quite something and had made it to this point on his own, but this was no reason for him to act arrogant in front of him.

"Humph! I don't understand what you are talking about. I am only following the request of the Spirit Hall to arrest you. I don't know anything else! Elder Night Parrot, please arrest him quickly!"

After Chen Ming heard Chen Yao's words, his eyes shook, his face became slightly ferocious, and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Humph!"

Elder Ying snorted coldly that night, but did not object, and the spirit ring behind him began to light up.

"Tsk!"

However, before Night Parrot Douluo could make a move, a teasing sound suddenly rang out, followed by an even more terrifying wave of soul power that surged out. The terrifying mass instantly distorted the air between heaven and earth.

At the same time, the soul ring behind Chen Yao slowly lit up!
Black black black black red black black black!
Although the configuration is a bit strange, it is still horrifying!

The Night Parrot Douluo, who was originally full of vigor and momentum, looked at the soul ring behind Chen Yao in fear. He was oppressed by the pressure emanating from Zhou Shen, and his muscles and bones creaked, and his body was on the verge of collapse!
"Pfft!"

Chen Yao's pressure was extremely terrifying for a half-baked Titled Douluo like Ye Ying. His face was filled with fear. Then he felt a sharp pain in his head. He fainted without any resistance and fell limply to the ground.

Chen Ming, who was originally confident of victory, suddenly changed his expression when he saw this scene. Although Chen Yao's pressure was not directed at Chen Ming specifically, when he looked at the nine soul rings scattered randomly behind the playful Chen Yao, his heart suddenly felt like it was pinched by an invisible big hand. The feeling of suffocation covered his whole body like a tide, and his nerves were tense!

"You! How... How is this possible? How can you be..."

Chen Ming's face was ashen, his throat was dry, and he spoke with difficulty and stuttering.

Chen Yao ignored Chen Ming for the time being, but looked at the crowd around him who were already as panicked as ants on a hot pan, with a cruel smile on his face.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Those people who were hiding in the crowd, full of malice and gossiping, suddenly exploded without any warning and turned into bright red blood mist flowers!
"what!"

Blood splattered in the crowd, and a fishy smell began to spread. Everyone's heart was covered with a layer of fear. Their faces were panicked and they screamed in horror!
The gate of Tiandou City, which had been relatively harmonious and peaceful, suddenly became chaotic and everyone began to flee in all directions.

Chen Yao was also kind-hearted. He only killed the evil ringleaders and did not implicate the innocent. After collecting those souls full of resentment into the Soul-Devouring Field, he turned his attention back to Chen Ming.

"Tsk tsk, I've always been the one who betrayed my own people. I never thought I'd have such a thing happen to me. Come, let's discuss what your mentality is."

Chen Yao withdrew his pressure and looked at Chen Ming, who was now slumped on the ground, with a smile on his face, without any murderous intent in his heart.

Looking at Chen Yao's appearance, Chen Ming felt no joy or relief in his heart, only full of humiliation, which suppressed his fear.

"why?"

He roared hoarsely.

"what?"

Chen Yao frowned.

"Why can you be so arrogant in the academy and win the favor of Miss Xue'er when you are obviously not as talented as me! Why are you valued by the Pope! Why do you have such strength! What is the reason!"

Chen Ming yelled at the top of his lungs.

When Chen Yao heard this, he looked surprised and then looked at Chen Ming with some disappointment.

"So it's jealousy? That's really unoriginal. Forget it."

Chen Yao shook his head and slowly raised his hand.

At this moment, Chen Ming felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. His heart tightened and he no longer cared about anything. He suddenly crushed the token that he had already clenched in his hand and shouted.

"help me!"

Chen Yao's eyebrows twitched when he heard that. He was no longer leisurely and slammed his hand down heavily.

But at some point, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of Chen Ming.

Although it did not shatter unexpectedly under Chen Yao's palm, it did cause a slight pause in this hasty palm.

Taking advantage of this gap, a strange dark green vortex suddenly appeared behind Chen Ming, sucking Chen Ming in, and then disappeared without a trace before Chen Yao could step into it.

Looking at the place in front where the vortex disappeared, Chen Yao had a blank expression on his face.

"The power of space? He's just a small character, why would anyone go to so much trouble to save him?"
