Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

Several hours later,

Outside Wuhun City, many figures were running frantically and in a sorry state on the rugged official road.

"Faster! Faster!"

As Flander ran, he turned back to urge the people behind him on.

No one answered him; everyone just kept their heads down, desperately channeling their soul power into their legs.

At this moment, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun were all pale-faced and panting heavily.

Their injuries had not yet fully healed, and their foundations were damaged. Such a high-intensity run was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them.

With each step they took, they could feel a tearing pain in their lower bodies, but compared to death, what was this pain?

"You bastard Lin Ye! You just wait!"

As Ma Hongjun ran, he cursed breathlessly.

"Fatty, speed things up! We're doomed if we get caught!"

At this point, Dai Mubai felt a chill run down his spine.

He is now incredibly grateful that they ran fast!

If they had been any later and that demon had discovered they were in Wuhun City, the consequences... Dai Mubai didn't even dare to think about it!

"Don't speak! Conserve your energy!"

Yu Xiaogang, who was at the very front of the group, suddenly shouted.

His face looked worse than anyone else's at that moment.

As the brains of Shrek Academy, he always prided himself on his wisdom and resourcefulness, believing he could devise any plan without fail.

But this time, he suffered a huge setback!

Not only did he fail to figure out Lin Ye's true identity, but he also foolishly led everyone into the den of dragons and tigers that is Wuhun City!

"Xiaogang, don't blame yourself too much."

Liu Erlong, who was standing nearby, seemed to have sensed his thoughts and whispered words of comfort.

"Nobody would have guessed that beast had such a powerful background. This isn't your fault."

"You don't blame me?" Yu Xiaogang gave a wry smile.

"Erlong, you don't need to comfort me. If I hadn't been so arrogant and insisted on participating in this so-called finals, none of this would have happened! I'm the one who ruined everyone's lives!"

His heart was filled with regret and lingering fear.

Now he doesn't want anything anymore. What championship, what honor, what theory, it's all bullshit!

His only thought now is to leave this place of trouble alive!

"Hang in there, everyone!"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and shouted to the crowd behind him,

"I've already looked at the map. As long as we cross that mountain ahead, we'll be completely out of the Spirit Hall's detection range! Once we get there, we'll be safe!"

Yu Xiaogang's words rekindled a glimmer of hope for everyone who was already nearing their limit.

"Charge! Charge!"

Someone shouted something, and everyone gritted their teeth and ran wildly toward the distant mountain peak that was faintly visible in the night.

I do not know how long it has been,

The sky was gradually turning a pale white.

The night of fleeing for their lives left everyone at Shrek Academy exhausted, both physically and mentally.

When they finally crossed the mountain and saw the official road leading to the Heavenly Dou Empire at its foot, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

"Phew...phew...finally...finally escaped..."

Ma Hongjun lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

"Yes...we're safe now..."

Dai Mubai let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to relax after a tense night.

Flander leaned against a large tree, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and a look of relief at surviving the ordeal appeared on his face.

"Damn it, I've never been this humiliated in my life. When I get back to Heaven Dou City, I'm definitely going to have a few drinks to calm my nerves!"

"Dean, now is not the time to relax."

Tang San helped Xiao Wu to her feet, his expression still grave.

"Although it's safe here for now, we should hurry on our way, or things might change."

"The mistress is right," Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement.

"We must set off immediately and strive to return to the Heavenly Dou Empire as soon as possible."

After resting for a while and regaining some strength, the group prepared to continue their journey.

However, just as they reached the middle of the official road,

A mocking voice suddenly came from the woods in front of them.

"Hey, isn't this everyone from Shrek Academy?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you headed?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, everyone at Shrek Academy was instantly startled!

The relief and relaxation on their faces vanished completely at that moment.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

On the official road ahead, a tall, handsome young man was leaning against a large tree with his arms crossed.

He was smiling, observing them with great interest.

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Ye!

"Holy crap, Lin... Lin Ye!"

The moment he saw that face clearly, Flander let out a gasp!

How is that possible?!

What is he doing here?!

They had been fleeing all night, traversing mountains and valleys, and thought they had escaped the Spirit Hall's territory. Why was this jinx still haunting them here?!

"Damn it! It was you!"

Flander stared intently at Lin Ye, his voice trembling as he spoke:

"How...how did you find us?!"

This was a question on the minds of everyone present.

They couldn't understand it, they just couldn't understand it!

Seeing Flander's horrified expression, Lin Ye's smile deepened.

He slowly straightened up from the tree, dusted himself off, and strode towards them at a leisurely pace.

"Found you?"

Lin Ye chuckled and continued:

"Dean Flander, are you sure you're not mistaken about something?"

"Do you think it's difficult to find a pack of stray dogs like you on my turf?"

Lin Ye stopped a dozen meters away from them, his gaze sweeping over each person with disdain.

"To put it bluntly, from the moment you stepped into Wuhun City, your every move has been under my surveillance."

"I know exactly which hotel you stayed at and who you met every day."

Lin Ye's words extinguished the last glimmer of hope that had just ignited in their hearts.

So it turns out... so their supposedly flawless escape plan was nothing more than a laughable one-man show in other people's eyes from beginning to end!

"You...you..."

Flander pointed at Lin Ye, trembling with anger, unable to utter a single word.

"However, I've been busy leading the team in training and preparing for the finals, so I haven't had time to deal with you bunch of trash."

Lin Ye shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"I was originally planning to wait until the finals were over before playing with you guys more slowly."

"I didn't expect you guys to be so impatient, you actually ran away on your own."

"Since that's the case..."
