Chapter 222

I should know why the Otherworld God King knelt before the Eyeball Tyrant Overlord. Gu Yue Na's calm voice sounded.

It made Bai Yuan's jet-black eyes reveal a look of joy.

Bai Yu, Wang Qiu'er, and Dong Qianqiu also turned their gazes, fixing them on the figure beside them that seemed somewhat familiar to them yet extremely unfamiliar, so much so that they couldn't even discern its build.

Gu Yue Na said: "In the other world, they don't classify cultivation by age, and even the most powerful Dou Emperor has only a ten-thousand-year lifespan; thus, they must have been frightened out of their wits by the name of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast."

Bai Yuan suddenly realized.

"No wonder those thirteen of them have been on the Douluo Continent for so long without causing any disturbance—they were scared stiff! No wonder they haven't been acting wildly in search of Xiao Xuan'er." Bai Yuan thought to himself.

After figuring it out, he didn't know how to describe his feelings, but Bai Yuan also felt fortunate that he had learned this not too late, just in time.

But in the next thought, Bai Yuan realized something was amiss.

Gu Yue Na then muttered to herself: "As for why they subconsciously feel that the people of this world are stronger than them, I don't know."

If those otherworldly god-kings were very confident in their strength, they would have launched a massive search for Xiao Xuan'er upon arrival; even if they later learned of the existence of ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, they likely wouldn't have been frightened.

They were frightened in that way.

Obviously, they simply felt that the people of this world were very strong.

Or perhaps it was excessive caution and prudence.

After arriving in this world, they first gathered information.

However, Gu Yue Na didn't understand, but Bai Yuan had already figured it out; after all, not to mention a Dou Sage, even a Dou Emperor couldn't possibly open a passage between worlds, yet that passage appeared just like that.

How could this not make them think that this is a higher plane?

After figuring these out, Bai Yuan's mind gradually revealed a detailed plan for subduing the other two otherworldly god-kings.

But at this moment, Bai Yu proudly clambered onto Bai Yuan's shoulders, her legs gripping his nape, arms crossed over her chest, head tilted back to gaze at the sky, raising her snow-white chin.

Her little face full of pride, she said: "Master, I said those three of them were yesterday cowed by your kingly aura, not daring to contend, so they slunk away in three separate directions; yet you all didn't believe me."

Bai Yuan was speechless, his mouth twitching.

Wang Qiu'er and Dong Qianqiu couldn't help but cover their foreheads.

They showed an expression of "I don't know her."

Even Gu Yue Na twitched slightly.

Even Bai Yu herself present never imagined that her own offhand remark would actually turn out to be true.

"Alright, Xiao Yu, this time you're impressive; it was my mistake to misunderstand you, okay now?" Bai Yuan, if his two hands weren't being held by Dong Qianqiu and Wang Qiu'er, would just want to rub his temples.

Bai Yu shook her head: "No, no."

"Then what do you want?" Bai Yuan asked.

Bai Yu opened her little mouth with a full-face smile, as if wanting to say something like "I'll fight back," words of defying the master and destroying the ancestors, but then realizing something, she hastily closed her mouth.

Bai Yu calmly said: "I haven't decided yet; when I figure it out later, I'll tell Master."

"Alright, alright." Bai Yuan responded, and then his gaze fell upon a figure whose appearance he couldn't quite recall, yet he found her extremely beautiful.

"Na'er, the previous plan has changed; you now directly teleport us beside this mission's target." Bai Yuan said.

Gu Yue Na lightly nodded, without any words; only a layer of silver light appeared out of thin air, and Bai Yuan's group vanished upon this vast, boundless sea.

Previously, Bai Yuan had intended to, like last time with the God of Angels, openly and slowly approach the otherworldly god-king to show his goodwill.

But now Bai Yuan no longer intends to do so.

…

…

Douluo Continent.

Below a cliff.

This place is desolate and uninhabited, sunlight shining within.

Gu Yu brought four figures and hid here.

In the darkness, a huge creature over ten meters long silently prowled, quietly following behind the five people, moving through the darkness.

It was a ten-thousand-year-level snake-type Soul Beast!

It was obvious that this not-so-smart snake-type Soul Beast regarded the five intruders who had entered its territory and whose presence it could not sense as its prey.

The darkness concealed its form; this ten-thousand-year snake-type Soul Beast was like an assassin walking in the night, and those five figures seemed at this moment to have encountered no danger at all.

Suddenly, the ten-thousand-year snake-type Soul Beast darted out from the darkness, attacking the five people, targeting the one with his back to it—but that was the strongest, Gu Yu.

A foul stench emanated from the ten-thousand-year snake-type Soul Beast's mouth.

A cold snort suddenly broke the silence here.

In an instant, the ten-thousand-year snake-type Soul Beast froze in midair, and then its massive body, as if stripped of something hard, shattered into countless pieces.

"What a clueless thing; if you were a thousand-year Soul Beast I'd still be wary a bit, but you're a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast—I'd just run away on my legs, yet a mere hundred-year Soul Beast dares to sneak attack me?" Gu Yu slowly turned his head, looking at the ground littered with fragments behind him, his eyes full of disdain.

Even in a higher world, he, a mighty nine-star Dou Venerable, is not something any random cat or dog can bully at will.

But just then, a violent spatial fluctuation appeared in this dark world, then formed a spatial passage.

Gu Yu and the five people were instantly startled.

This clearly indicates a strong expert has locked onto their position!

They directly opened a spatial passage leading here.

In that instant, Gu Yu and the five simultaneously entered a state of alert, their expressions extremely solemn as they gazed at the spot where the violent spatial fluctuation occurred.

At this moment, trying to flee would surely be too late, so Gu Yu and the five's nerves were all tensed, ready to fight to the death at any moment.

After just a second, five figures appeared out of thin air here, appearing in this pitch-black darkness where one cannot see one's own hand.

Gu Yu all looked over; the darkness offered no hindrance to their sight, and upon seeing the five figures opposite, they couldn't help but simultaneously suck in a breath of cold air.

That was a normal yet strange combination.

Saying it's normal because two extremely beautiful girls who look like weaklings are each holding the left and right hand of that Taoist figure, and a little brat is also sitting on that figure's shoulder.

It was completely the gaze of a family.

The reason it is considered strange is entirely because even Gu Yu cannot see clearly, or rather cannot remember, the face of that figure, and even cannot tell his build or gender.

Beside that figure was another figure.

Gu Yu felt the same way.

"My lord, can you see them clearly?" One of the four could not help but swallow, his eyes filled with extreme fear as he asked.

Gu Yu shook his head.

Bai Yuan's voice, undisguised, yet made them unable to tell male from female, and even seemed both harsh and pleasant—a strange sound that suddenly rang out in the darkness.

"Submit or die."

"Choose for yourself."
