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

Chapter 161 Yun Yun Takes Over the PuppetTang Huo’er was puzzled; given the length of this passage, how long would it take them to reach the ruins’ destination?

Xiao Yi Xian didn’t understand either.

They had already flown quite a distance during their conversation, but the fiery red passage still seemed endless.

Zi Yan didn’t think much of it; she stared longingly at the blue fire pillars shooting out like water jets, murmuring, ”Why can’t flames be eaten?”

”If flames could be eaten, I would definitely become very, very strong, right?”

Yun Yun, however, noticed something different—although she couldn’t see any traps in the passage, she noticed Gu He’s expression was slightly off.

She nudged Gu He’s arm affectionately: ”You must have figured it out, right? Hurry up and solve this mystery.”

Gu He smiled gently, ”The answer is right beneath our feet.”

”The path ahead of us is just a decoy; the true entrance to the ruins is the magma beneath us.”

Tang Huo’er was stunned, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of surprise: ”So that’s how it is?!”

Valley Master Tang Zhen came to a realization: ”No wonder he is a Dou Sheng.”

”The ruins of a Dou Sheng are indeed extraordinary.”

The group paused before flying downward, their brilliant flames parting the layers of scalding magma as they dove straight down.

After descending for over a minute, the scene before them suddenly opened up.

They landed on a rather spacious giant stone passage, where a massive square could be faintly seen in the distance.

Looking up, they could see a ceiling that looked like transparent glazed glass; above it was the long magma passage emitting flames, where countless figures were leaping across. They were like lost lambs without a purpose, only knowing to charge blindly forward.

Yun Yun smiled slightly, her eyes directed at Gu He carrying a hidden trace of admiration and pride.

Her man was as omnipotent as a god.

Xiao Yi Xian giggled, ”When they finally overcome all those difficulties and reach the end, only to find it’s a stone wall with no way out, I wonder what they’ll think?” She looked a bit mischievous, like a cute fox.

Gu He paid special attention to Zi Yan and said to her, ”There might be something in these ruins that can increase your strength.”

In fact, Zi Yan had been wandering for so long that, logically, her Family should have sent an Elder to find her, but for some reason, no one had appeared yet.

Gu He left it at that. Zi Yan pursed her lips and didn’t speak; wearing a purple dress, she flew toward the square ahead like a beautiful little purple butterfly.

”Let’s go!”

Although Zi Yan was sometimes silly, she cared deeply whenever her ”home” was mentioned.

She valued Family bonds immensely; although there were things she couldn’t remember, she felt a trace of confusion and a hint of sadness as to why no one had come looking for her.

The group flew toward the square ahead and saw ten Puppets standing before a stone door; this was likely the true entrance to the ruins.

The entrance to the ruins where many experts were drawn like moths to a flame, desperate to seize its treasures.

A number of people had already gathered in front of the stone door, including no shortage of Dou Zun and Dou Zong experts.

Compared to the nonchalant and carefree attitude of Gu He’s group, these experts were clearly more focused on their goals. While Gu He was using that miraculous passage to tease Tang Huo’er and Xiao Yi Xian, others had already discovered the mechanism, broken through the passage’s illusions, and dived to the bottom of the magma. Of course, no one had passed this current hurdle yet.

They had already begun attacking the Puppets; however, this stone door was also protected by a certain Spatial Formation, which had been activated.

These ten Puppets with Dou Zong cultivation, combined with the Spatial Formation, were equivalent to a extremely strong Two-Star Dou Zun. Gu He, a Five-Star Dou Zun, naturally didn’t care, but it was different for the others.

There were several One-Star Dou Zun present who wanted to try their luck, but they were forced to retreat after a dozen or so exchanges.

Yun Yun’s eyes flickered as she looked at those Puppets, ”Gu He, do you think I can subdue these Puppets?”

”Of course you can. If I say you can, you can,” Gu He said.

”You should have carefully sensed the connection between yourself and the Puppet I gave you before, right?” Gu He said softly. ”Now, silently operate that connection in your mind and try to communicate with them seamlessly.”

Yun Yun nodded.

After sensing for a moment, she summoned her Wind Sword and stepped forward, preparing to challenge the Puppets.

A white-haired man saw her and gave a light, mocking laugh, ”Where did this sheltered beauty come from, thinking she can challenge the Puppets?”

”Your strength isn’t even at the Dou Zun level, yet you dare to step out?”

The white-haired man could sense the aura of those with lower cultivation than himself; he saw that Yun Yun was merely a Dou Zong.

In the Central Plains, a Dou Zong was just the entry level, very common among experts.

And he himself was a Dou Zun, a One-Star Dou Zun. He was the one who had just failed the challenge, so he currently found everyone an eyesore and felt quite humiliated.

Yun Yun smiled faintly, her light smile like a pale blue lotus slowly blooming, yet her eyes revealed a hint of subtle sarcasm.

”Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t.”

She tightened her internal connection to the Puppets. In an instant, Gu He gently infused his Soul Power into her body. Yun Yun raised her weapon slightly, attempting to use this vast Soul Power to envelop several Puppets.

These Puppets seemed to be casual creations of that Dou Sheng Expert, so no profound Soul Imprint had been engraved upon them.

*Whoosh!*

Yun Yun subdued these Puppets with great ease.

In less than a few minutes, all ten Puppets, which together possessed the might of a Dou Zun, were collected by Yun Yun into the storage ring Gu He had given her.

The other experts around her were filled with astonishment.

”Damn it! I’m dying of envy!”

”She is clearly only a Dou Zong, so why was she able to subdue the Puppets so easily?”

”She couldn’t be a relative of the Dou Sheng who owns these ruins, could she?”

”She looks like a Heavenly Immortal, so why haven’t I heard of this person in the Central Plains?”

”...”

The stone door slowly opened, drowning out the flurry of discussions.

Before they entered the deeper layers of the ruins and saw that Heaven Rank Dou Skill, they would not engage in large-scale infighting. Thus, even though some people were envious, they forcibly suppressed their urges.

*Creak—* The sound of the door opening rang out.

Only this time, no reckless person rushed to the front to be the bird that sticks its head out and gets shot.

But Gu He was different.

He smiled faintly, as if in mockery of those cowards. He led the women and flew into the stone gate.

Tang Huo’er glanced back and quickly pulled her father inside as well.

After entering, they found another massive Divine Hall inside, with dozens of corridors branching off in different directions.

Presumably, those corridors leading to unknown destinations held different fortuitous encounters.
