Chapter 46

Meng Shenji and Zhilin exchanged glances, both seeing the immense shock in each other's eyes. They were clueless about Ye Chen's significance to the Spirit Hall and why the Pope would send two Super Douluos for his sake.

"Greetings, Elder Ju and Elder Gui."

Seeing the arrivals, Xie Yue and Xu Ning immediately knelt on one knee, respectfully addressing them.

"Rise."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei raised their hands slightly and then looked towards Dugu Bo. "We can settle our grievances later. Saving Ye Chen is the priority."

"Hmph!"

Dugu Bo snorted but didn't say anything more.

Chrysanthemum Douluo turned his gaze to Meng Shenji, and the petals of the strange velvet sky chrysanthemum that circled around him flew over. "Speak. Where is Ye Chen?"

Facing two Super Douluos and a Title Douluo simultaneously, Meng Shenji and Zhilin, along with the third principal, Baibaoshan, were already trembling in fear, having given up any thought of resistance. If they could start over, they wouldn't have dared to touch Ye Chen. But now, they were in a difficult position.

Before Meng Shenji could respond, Gui Mei beside Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly frowned and looked towards the two rapidly approaching figures outside the principal's office building, full of vigilance.

"Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, you finally made it."

Seeing the two people who had just flown into the hall, Ning Rongrong rushed over with a smile and then threw herself into Chen Xin's arms, sobbing softly.

"Alright, Rongrong, stop crying. We will save that kid right away."

After comforting Ning Rongrong briefly, Chen Xin and Gu Rong stepped forward and coldly said to Meng Shenji, "Where is Ye Chen?"

The brief question immediately scared Meng Shenji, Baibaoshan, and Zhilin so much that they almost wet their pants. They stammered, but their words were incoherent and unintelligible.

At this moment, they finally realized the significance of Ye Chen's words. They regretted it deeply, but looking at the four Super Douluos with cold expressions, it seemed too late for regrets.

"These are... the two Super Douluos from the Ning family."

Seeing Chen Xin and Gu Rong, Dugu Bo was also extremely shocked. If the arrival of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo was reasonable, the presence of these two from the Ning family was beyond his expectations.

Turning his gaze to his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo thought to himself, "My dear granddaughter, just who is this Ye Chen that you fancy? To warrant the rescue efforts of four top-tier experts, he must be extraordinary. After we rescue Ye Chen, I must marry my granddaughter to him, for sure!"

With a hint of excitement in his eyes, Dugu Bo felt that his presence here was somewhat redundant. However, his attitude towards Chen Xin and Gu Rong became more cordial, almost as if they were about to become family. Even his long-standing enemies, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, seemed more tolerable now.

"Thud!"

Under the immense pressure of the four Super Douluos, Meng Shenji and the other two principals fell to their knees. Their summoned spirits retreated like turtles into their shells, and they were too terrified to think of resisting.

After struggling to form coherent words, Meng Shenji finally stuttered, "Ye... Ye Chen is... in the sky well dungeon."

Upon hearing this, the three principals led the group to the west courtyard dungeon.

Meng Shenji opened the special iron gate and, looking at the four Super Douluos, said with a trembling voice, "He's inside."

Without a word, Gu Rong and Chen Xin jumped into the well, while the others looked on with anticipation.

Within a few seconds, Chen Xin and Gu Rong flew out, but only the two of them returned.

"Sword Grandpa, where is Ye Chen? Where did he go?"

Feeling an ominous premonition, Ning Rongrong almost fainted.

Chen Xin supported her and shook his head. "There's only a passage leading to an unknown location inside. The paths are complex. We tried a few routes but almost got lost. Ye Chen's whereabouts are unknown."

This statement made everyone's eyes focus on Meng Shenji and the others, especially Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, who summoned their spirits without hesitation.

Under the immense pressure, Meng Shenji and his colleagues stammered, "He must have escaped. We didn't know there were tunnels inside the well..."

Facing the cold gazes and murderous intent from Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, Meng Shenji and the others were terrified. Suddenly, a pungent smell filled the air as yellow liquid flowed from their bodies.

While everyone was guessing Ye Chen's whereabouts, a squad of soldiers rushed into the Royal Academy and soon arrived at the office building. Seeing Meng Shenji, they shouted, "Principals, the imperial city is in trouble. Please come to support us."

Support? Are you blind? We need support here!

Kneeling on the ground, Meng Shenji felt like crying but couldn't, fearing that any misstep would result in instant death at the hands of the four Super Douluos.

Suddenly, several spirit seals sealed half of Meng Shenji and the others' spirit power. Chrysanthemum Douluo's charming voice sounded, "Cooperate obediently, or even the gods can't save you."

Hearing this, Meng Shenji smiled at the soldiers. "We'll be there soon. You go ahead."

After dismissing the soldiers, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo took Meng Shenji and the others and flew towards the Heaven Dou imperial city, their eyes full of killing intent.

Seeing them leave quickly, Gu Rong frowned. "Something's off. They don't seem to be going just to help."

"You noticed too?"

Chen Xin's eyes narrowed, filled with a sense of foreboding. He couldn't pinpoint it, but he felt something big was about to happen.

"Rongrong, go back to the villa. Whether Ye Chen is alive or not, I will bring him back."

Patting Ning Rongrong's shoulder, Chen Xin flew towards the Heaven Dou City, followed closely by Gu Rong.

"Please bring him back."

Watching the disappearing figures of Chen Xin and Gu Rong, Ning Rongrong could only place all her hopes on them now.

"Let's go back. Maybe Ye Chen will return soon."

Gently patting Ning Rongrong's back in comfort, Hu Liena also looked worried.

Feeling Dugu Yan's stern gaze, Dugu Bo scratched his head, then flew towards the imperial city. "Don't worry, Yan'er. Ye Chen will surely survive."

In the vast Heaven Dou imperial city, the once majestic royal palace was now shrouded in black smoke, with thick poisonous fog everywhere, blocking out the sun.

Facing such a situation, the soldiers didn't know what to do, and the royal nobles had already fled to the commoners' city, fearing contamination by the poison. They could only call the three principals to maintain order.

When Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo arrived, they didn't care about the poisonous fog. After throwing Meng Shenji and the others to the ground, they flew towards the area with the most soldiers in the Heaven Dou city.

But before they could fly far, Chen Xin and Gu Rong blocked their way.

"Where are you two going?"

Hearing Chen Xin's question, Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled seductively. "It's none of your business, but I advise you not to meddle, or face the consequences."

Hearing this, Gu Rong laughed. "With just you?"

"No, you misunderstand!" Chrysanthemum Douluo raised an eyebrow and then smiled. "The Pope has decreed that if Ye Chen is not found alive, neither the Royal Academy nor the Heaven Dou royal family needs to exist!" His words, though light, were chilling.

What did it mean to have no need to exist? Were they planning to annihilate the academy and wipe out the Heaven Dou royal family?

Was Spirit Hall willing to go this far for Ye Chen?
