Pei Xijun also smiled and nodded, her eyes full of approval:
"Yes, Longlong, you are a great hero. Later, we'll go tell everyone together so they all know about your brave deeds."
Upon hearing this, Longlong's small face flushed with excitement. He jumped and skipped, saying:
"Okay, okay, let's go now."
With that, he pulled Bai Chenxiang and Pei Xijun's hands, eager to walk into the crowd.
...
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo had already arrived outside the imposing Spirit Hall.
The tall and majestic architecture of Spirit Hall exuded a suffocating aura, with its towering walls and strict guards, all indicating its authoritative position on the Douluo Continent.
Dugu Bo's face was serious, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes constantly darting around, and his steps slightly heavy.
It was impossible for him not to be afraid; he recalled how he had begun his escape from here years ago.
He fled from the east side of the continent to the west, utterly disheveled.
As he walked, he quietly said to Zhuge Lan:
"Zhuge Lan, are you sure the two of us can really succeed? This is Spirit Hall, after all, full of experts. Won't we be walking into a trap, coming so rashly to rescue your old flame, Su Biluo?"
Zhuge Lan, however, looked relaxed, as if he were on a leisurely trip. With his hands clasped behind his head and a blade of grass in his mouth, he said nonchalantly:
"Oh, Old Poison, what are you afraid of? It's just a Spirit Hall; it's no big deal. We can definitely rescue Bìluò, so don't worry."
Dugu Bo looked at Zhuge Lan's demeanor and grew even more anxious:
"It's easy for you to say, but you know Spirit Hall's strength. If anything goes wrong, we'll both be finished. Have you thought of a plan?"
Zhuge Lan chuckled:
"A plan? Of course! We'll just swagger in, find Bìluò, and then swagger out. It's that simple."
Zhuge Lan's eyes were clear, like a child full of imagination.
"Duang!"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and he directly gave Zhuge Lan's head a smack:
"Are you crazy? What are you even thinking? How could that possibly work? Spirit Hall's guards aren't to be trifled with."
Zhuge Lan patted Dugu Bo's shoulder:
"Oh, I say, Old Poison, why didn't I notice you were such a coward before? Don't be so nervous. You have to believe in my strength, and besides, we still have you, a Titled Douluo. What's there to be afraid of?"
Dugu Bo sighed helplessly and roared angrily:
"I am a Titled Douluo, that's true, but there are far more powerful Titled Douluo in Spirit Hall than me! I, a Titled Douluo, once fled from here like a dog! And if we go in so brazenly, we'll definitely attract their attention."
Zhuge Lan scratched his head sheepishly, thought for a moment, and said:
"Alright, then, we'll be a bit more low-key. We'll sneak in first and find Bìluò's location."
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at him and nodded:
"That's more like it. But how do we find her? Spirit Hall is so big."
Zhuge Lan smiled mysteriously:
"Don't worry, I have my ways. I left a trace of my spirit power imprint on Su Biluo; as long as we get within a certain distance of her, I can sense it."
Dugu Bo looked at Zhuge Lan in surprise:
"You have that ability? How come I didn't know?"
Zhuge Lan said proudly:
"Hehe, there's a lot you don't know. I am Zhuge Lan, a genius among geniuses."
Indeed, Zhuge Lan was constantly surprising Dugu Bo—
All with things beyond his understanding as a Titled Douluo.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the wall of Spirit Hall. Dugu Bo looked at the high wall and said:
"This wall is so high, and there's nothing around. Flying in directly will definitely get us discovered. How do we get in?"
Zhuge Lan looked around and found a large tree not far away. His eyes lit up:
"Who said there's nothing? Isn't there a big tree? Let's climb that tree first to see what the situation is inside before going in."
Dugu Bo reluctantly followed Zhuge Lan to the base of the tree.
The two silently flew up into the tree, using the leaves to conceal their bodies.
They stood on the branches, observing the situation inside Spirit Hall.
They saw an endless stream of guards within Spirit Hall.
Each guard wore gleaming armor, held sharp weapons, and patrolled various parts of the hall with solemn and vigilant expressions.
"There are too many guards. It's almost 360 degrees with no blind spots. How are we going to sneak in?"
Dugu Bo said worriedly.
"Quiet, we'll talk later. I'm checking Su Biluo's location."
With that, Zhuge Lan closed his eyes and began to sense Su Biluo's position.
After a while, he opened his eyes.
Pointing in one direction, he said:
"Su Biluo should be over there. I sensed a slight spirit power fluctuation. Let's go."
Dugu Bo looked in the direction Zhuge Lan pointed, feeling a bit uneasy: "I hope we can find her smoothly."
The two quietly jumped down from the tree.
Dugu Bo crossed his arms over his chest and asked Zhuge Lan in a sarcastic tone:
"Let's go, let's go, how do we go? So many guards, fight our way in? You go by yourself, I'm leaving."
Zhuge Lan chuckled mysteriously, then secretively pulled out a strange brush from his Pregnant.
The brush's handle was not straight like a normal brush, but somewhat curved.
Dugu Bo leaned over curiously, his eyes wide:
"What is this thing now? Where do you get all these strange things?"
Zhuge Lan smiled proudly and said:
"Old Poison, you wouldn't understand this. This is my treasure; it can directly teleport us to the other side of the wall."
Dugu Bo looked at him with suspicion:
"Really? Don't brag. If it's not reliable, we'll be in trouble."
Zhuge Lan rolled his eyes at him: "Just rest assured. Watch closely!"
With that, he raised the brush and continuously drew circles in the air.
Wherever the brush passed, it emitted a bright light, instantly forming a teleportation portal the height of a person.
Zhuge Lan grabbed Dugu Bo:
"Come on, let's go in."
Dugu Bo was still hesitant, but seeing Zhuge Lan's confident look, he had no choice but to brace himself and follow him in.
As soon as the two passed through the light door, they appeared inside a small room in Spirit Hall.
Dugu Bo looked around in surprise:
"Holy moly! It really worked! What exactly is this thing?"
Zhuge Lan swept his hair back, shook the brush in his hand, and said confidently:
"Old Poison, this is my newly bought... newly acquired treasure, called the Time-Space Brush. Don't underestimate it; it has many amazing uses!"
Dugu Bo stared at the Time-Space Brush without blinking, asking curiously:
"Time-Space Brush? That name sounds quite mysterious. Tell me more."
