Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 160 Reunion with an Old Friend, Tang Huo’erAs the sound of Xiao Yi Xian praising her Master Gu He faded, those who were rushing toward the entrance in a frantic hurry also encountered a situation.

Driven by greed, they flew toward the entrance like a swarm of locusts. However, the shards emitted from the broken Seal suddenly paused, followed by a powerful storm surging out from within!

The storm was like a giant coiling Dragon, striking directly at the crowd.

Those at the front were scattered or swallowed whole, while those behind who reacted in time dispersed like startled birds and beasts. For a moment, the scene was chaotic and utterly ridiculous!

Fresh blood stained the ghastly white bones.

Xiao Yi Xian murmured, ”As expected of the Remains left by a Dou Sheng Expert, it truly is powerful!”

However, in her young heart, Gu He was the most powerful person. So what if it was a Dou Sheng? As long as her Master was by her side, she felt she had everything.

”Hehe, thank you for pulling me back just now, Master~”

The fluctuations of the Seal finally calmed down, and Gu He led the four of them into the Remains.

First to appear before their eyes was a massive Divine Hall. The entire hall was fiery red, like a miniature Volcano.

The Divine Hall was enormous and covered a vast area. No wonder it had to be hidden using a spatial Seal; otherwise, no matter where it was placed, it would be a massive target.

Of course, they had only just entered the Remains. There were still many trials ahead. Gu He was in no hurry and stopped with the women to observe for a while.

Suddenly, Gu He spotted a familiar red figure.

The woman wore a red dress, like the most dazzling maple leaf on a red mountain in autumn.

She wore no heavy headpieces or hair ornaments; her long black hair was simply tied with a ribbon, exuding a sense of neatness and spirit.

It was Tang Huo’er.

Beside her was another figure—her father, Valley Master Tang Zhen.

Tang Huo’er also quickly noticed Gu He, but her eyes dimmed when she saw the several women standing beside him.

”Long time no see,” Tang Huo’er said as she walked up to Gu He.

”It has indeed been a long time,” Gu He smiled slightly, his expression full of gentleness. ”How have you been lately? Has your cultivation improved?”

Tang Huo’er’s eyes flickered with a trace of complex emotion—a deeply hidden, well-concealed love.

”I’ve been doing well, and my cultivation has improved. Thank you for the storage ring you gave me before. The things inside were very useful. My father said some of the Medicinal Pills inside were things even he couldn’t refine.”

Tang Huo’er’s voice was soft. For some reason, the corners of her eyes turned red in an instant.

Meeting an old friend inside the Remains. The hall was filled with fiery red, and her red clothes could only blend into it.

Gu He nodded. ”That’s good then.”

”I missed you after I left, too,” he said softly.

Tang Huo’er, originally of a decisive and straightforward personality, couldn’t help but tug at her dress, holding back the words she wanted to blurt out.

She had so much to say, so many feelings to express.

She later learned of the love story between her father and mother. Although her mother had died young, her longing for love hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

She also wanted a love like her parents’. She really wanted to ask Gu He: Was there still a possibility between them?

But as her thoughts churned, she forced them down. This wasn’t her bedroom in their valley; this was inside the Divine Hall of the Remains, with so many people watching and her father behind her.

Tang Huo’er smiled faintly and said to Gu He, ”Me too. I missed you after you left. Let’s do our best together in the Remains! I heard there’s even a Heaven Rank Dou Skill inside... I wish you every success.”

Gu He looked at her, his heart also feeling a bit complex. He nodded solemnly, ”Alright.”

After seeing him nod, Tang Huo’er immediately turned her back.

She felt that compared to Gu He’s feelings for her, she definitely loved him more. It was just that this love could not be spoken. She had met him too late; Gu He already had very excellent people in his heart.

Back in the valley, after Gu He left, Tang Huo’er had gathered her emotions to Cultivate well and strive to become stronger to take over her father’s legacy. Now, meeting an old friend, she was filled with all sorts of emotions, but she knew she was ultimately destined to walk the lonely path of the strong.

But she would treasure every moment spent with Gu He.

Gu He looked at her back and finally couldn’t help but speak up to warn her, ”Don’t enter the first trial yet. Wait until the danger has passed before going in.”

Tang Huo’er still kept her back turned. She nodded without turning around.

Valley Master Tang Zhen should have stepped forward to greet Gu He and say, ”Long time no see, I hope you’ve been well,” but Gu He had stolen his daughter’s heart in such a short time, making it hard for him to save face.

Now that Tang Huo’er had composed herself, he also dropped the idea of greeting Gu He.

Humph! He was going to train Huoer to be his successor!

...

During the time Gu He and Tang Huo’er were talking, more and more people arrived in the great hall.

After all, once the experts of the Central Plains learned of such a Secret Realm, they all rushed over.

”Boom!”

A few minutes later, the ground suddenly shook a few times. A crimson stone gate before everyone slowly opened, rising upward to reveal a passage inside.

Seeing the entrance revealed before them, the eyes of many experts lit up. Ignoring everything else, they rushed inside.

Following Gu He’s warning, Tang Huo’er and her father, Valley Master Tang Zhen, did not move.

As for those smug people who thought they had snatched the lead, as soon as they entered the dark passage, the stone ground beneath their feet suddenly split open with a massive crack, from which intense, blazing red flames erupted.

”Ah!”

Before anyone could react, within the crowded passage, blue pillars of fire shot out from the stone walls on both sides, leaving them no way out!

They hurriedly covered their bodies with Dou Qi, but even thick Dou Qi could not block the toxic gas emitted by the shooting flames. The crowded passage was instantly filled with countless casualties.

When the scene calmed down, Valley Master Tang Zhen sighed. He gave Gu He a complex look and finally said, ”Thanks.”

Gu He nodded without a word.

Valley Master Tang Zhen wrapped himself and Tang Huo’er in Heavenly Flame, and the two flew inside.

Gu He wrapped Yun Yun and Zi Yan in Heavenly Flame, while Xiao Yi Xian used her Beast Fire, which had been strengthened many times, to wrap around Zi Yan.

Upon entering the passage, they saw the tragic scene inside.

Many careless experts had either fallen or been injured. Others were doing their best to protect their bodies with Dou Qi and Magic Treasures, rushing with all their might toward the straight, seemingly endless fiery passage.

Tang Huo’er looked at the long passage in a daze, ”Is the path of the Remains this long?”

The passage was endless to the eye. On both sides were hard crimson rock walls, and below was hot, rolling magma. They had no choice but to fly toward the end of the seemingly infinite passage.
