Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 195 Split into Two Groups

As expected, Li Gui quickly brought in a little girl who was about 1.6 meters tall. She was from a nearby city and was also trained by the Spirit Hall.

This girl was a member of the Spirit Hall branch. Under the arrangement of the Spirit Hall branch elder and with Li Gui promising her great benefits, she quickly agreed to all the requests.

The girl's name was Li Yan. As soon as Yang Ping'an met her, he felt that her expression and other aspects were somewhat similar to Xiao Wu. Then, Li Gui made her change into Xiao Wu's clothes and even did some makeup, adding long scorpion braids. If viewed from a distance, she looked very much like Xiao Wu in every way.

Next comes the announcement and a long wait; now we need to wait for the message from the Spirit Hall.

Just as Yang Ping'an had predicted, the major sects and the two great empires were extremely wary of the Spirit Hall. Treasures like 100,000-year-old spirit beasts were absolutely not to be easily allowed to fall into the hands of the Spirit Hall.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only has one Title Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, and dares not leave the mountain casually. Therefore, Yu Luomian led several Soul Douluos to handle this matter. The Heaven Dou Empire sent Prince Xue Xing, while the Star Luo Empire sent an elder with the Martial Soul of White Tiger. It is said that his wife came with him and should be able to use the Netherworld White Tiger, and may even reach the strength of a Title Douluo.

Li Gui would go to the Spirit Hall branch every night to collect information, mostly from the Spirit Hall branches in nearby towns, but mainly to wait for news from Bibi Dong.

It has been confirmed that all the spies from various forces have been put to use, and the entire perimeter is like a huge information network. As soon as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo show their faces, the news will probably spread immediately.

Four days later, Yang Ping'an and his group received another message, including a warrant from Pope Bibidon.

Everyone was surprised after receiving the order, especially Yang Ping'an, whose expression was uncertain.

As stated in the order, Chrysanthemum Douluo and his team were highly praised for their actions. Capturing a 100,000-year-old soul beast for the Spirit Hall was a great achievement, and they would be rewarded upon returning to the Spirit Hall.

But the primary issue now is bringing the 100,000-year-old soul beast back to the Spirit Hall. All the major forces have already taken action, so we need to be careful and wait in place.

They have already dispatched Title Douluo Lingyuan Douluo and Saintess Hu Liena to provide support, along with several members of the original Golden Generation, twenty Soul Saints, and five Soul Douluo-level experts, which can absolutely ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both relaxed instantly, especially Chrysanthemum Douluo, who even joked: "Ping An, it seems everything is going as you planned. His Holiness the Pope has taken action. With three Title Douluos, we can absolutely ensure everything goes smoothly."

Even the usually stern Ghost Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had everything under control.

However, a chill ran through Yang Ping'an's heart. According to his plan, Bibi Dong should have come in person to deal with the temptation of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Instead, she only sent a Title Douluo and Hu Liena. As for the Soul Douluos and Soul Saints, their numbers were probably still less than those of the other major forces.

The special emphasis on Saintess Hu Liena is likely intended to establish her merits and prestige, as assisting in bringing back a 100,000-year-old soul beast is indeed a merit.

However, Yang Ping'an distrusted the women in the Spirit Hall, especially Hu Liena, who was considered the biggest traitor in the Spirit Hall.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping'an quickly asked, "Master, does the Spirit Hall have any Title Douluos in Heaven Dou City? And I'm afraid there's more than one."

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's face paled, and he quickly interrupted, "Ping An, where did you get this kind of information? You can't just say things like that."

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "During the last battle in Tian Dou City, His Holiness the Pope was able to send out multiple Title Douluos in a short period of time. I suspect that some of these Title Douluos were probably lurking in Tian Du City, especially the Serpent Spear Douluo, who was probably always in Tian Du City. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to make a move so rashly."

Chrysanthemum Douluo hesitated for a moment before speaking: "You guessed right, Heaven Dou City does indeed hide a Title Douluo. Do you perhaps want to go to Heaven Dou City? You should know that it is the core of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it is fraught with danger."

Yang Ping'an just sneered: "Master, I don't trust those people who came to help. They might bring all the people from the three upper sects with them, and then we'll be in trouble. So we must take action first."

Chrysanthemum Douluo thought for a while before speaking: "Ping An, what do you want to do now? Besides, His Holiness the Pope's order is for us to wait where we are. If we miss the Saintess's support, it will be troublesome."

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die. We need to take action now. I estimate that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will soon find out about our situation and even our location. If they come to besiege us, then we'll be in trouble."

At this point, Yang Ping'an took a closer look at Ghost Douluo and Li Gui. These two were indeed master and disciple, and they looked somewhat similar no matter how you looked at them, especially their martial souls, which were very similar. As long as Li Gui did not reveal his soul rings, it would probably be difficult to tell the two apart.

After much deliberation, Yang Ping'an began to implement his plan.

Following Yang Ping'an's plan, he quickly altered Li Gui's behavior and appearance. He cut off all of Li Gui's white hair and replaced it with the same hairstyle as Ghost Douluo. He even changed into clothes that only a titled Douluo like Ghost Douluo could wear. His face was also modified, so that to outsiders, he looked exactly like Ghost Douluo.

Following Yang Ping'an's plan, Chrysanthemum Douluo gave Ghost Douluo a storage soul tool containing a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, and then the group split into two groups.

Ghost Douluo, along with Yang Ping'an, transformed into a ghostly figure and disappeared into the night. Their direction was surprisingly back to the Star Dou Great Forest. They then detoured through the Star Dou Great Forest to the Star Luo Empire, and finally sped towards the Spirit City from the Star Luo Empire. To ensure a smooth journey, they only traveled at night and hid in caves or forests during the day, while at night they transformed into ghostly figures so that no one could detect them.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, along with Li Gui (who was impersonating Ghost Douluo) and the girl Li Yan, secretly headed towards Heaven Dou City. Along the way, they would occasionally send messages back to Spirit City from various Spirit Hall branches, allowing Flame Eagle Douluo, Hu Liena, and the others to change course and head towards the Heaven Dou Empire.

Yang Ping'an made this plan mainly because he was wary of the intelligence systems of the major sects. On the surface, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be considered the number one sect in the world, with three to four thousand Soul Masters, not to mention even more peripheral personnel. Its industries are spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, and correspondingly, its intelligence network is spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.

Since the Star Luo Empire had no trace of the activities of the three upper sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's influence could not truly infiltrate, and naturally could not detect the traces of Yang Ping'an and Ghost Douluo. They might even be misled by Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others.

With Chrysanthemum Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, and the titled Douluo of Heaven Dou City providing support, the safety of multiple titled Douluo will be absolutely guaranteed. By the time the major powers realize what's happening, everything will already be set in stone, and they certainly won't dare to forcibly go to Spirit City to demand the person back.
