Below the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's mountain.
The first fortress built by Spirit Hall, though it was night, was brightly lit and very lively inside.
A cloud of poisonous mist slowly condensed, and a moment later, a figure appeared—it was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo's mission here was to investigate which fortress had a Titled Douluo present so that an attack could be launched later.
He took out an invisibility talisman, affixed it to his body, then made himself invisible and headed into the fortress.
Inside the fortress, a Soul Master yawned; he had just finished his shift, was tired after a day's work, and could finally go back for a long sleep.
At this moment, a cloud of green mist appeared around him, and he couldn't help but yawn again within the mist.
"So sleepy!"
Gradually, his eyelids drooped, and then he sat down on the ground and actually fell asleep.
As the mist dissipated, Dugu Bo removed the invisibility talisman from his body, revealing himself, and looked at the Soul Master on the ground with a playful smile.
This was a Spirit Ability he used to poison the Soul Master unconscious.
For a Titled Douluo, a Spirit Ability is not just about poisoning; it also involves a degree of control.
He beckoned to the unconscious Soul Master.
The Soul Master swayed unsteadily to his feet, then said blankly,
"Master?"
Dugu Bo nodded, then asked,
"Who is the highest-ranking leader in your fortress?"
The Soul Master said blankly,
"It's Lord Feiyu."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment; he hadn't heard of this name, Feiyu! Could it be a newly emerged Titled Douluo? He remembered that this name wasn't on Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo list before!
He asked in confusion,
"When did he become a Titled Douluo?"
The Soul Master said blankly,
"Lord Feiyu is not a Titled Douluo; he is a Spirit Douluo."
Dugu Bo shook his head helplessly; he wondered why he hadn't heard of the name Feiyu before—it turned out he was a Spirit Douluo, not a Titled Douluo. It seemed this Fortress Number One wasn't that strong.
This place couldn't be considered a target for attack; it didn't even have a Titled Douluo.
It seemed he needed to leave here.
At this moment, the sound of "thump-thump-thump" footsteps came from afar, presumably the patrol, so he had to leave.
Anyway, his objective had been achieved, and he had learned what he wanted to know.
He took out an invisibility talisman, affixed it to his body, and then made himself invisible.
The Soul Master sat on the ground, snoring. A kind Soul Master from the patrol team saw him, walked over, patted his shoulder, and said,
"It's a bit cold, brother, go back to sleep!"
The Soul Master was woken up, shivered, and upon hearing the other's words, thanked him, saying,
"Thank you, brother, I'm going back to sleep now."
At this time, Dugu Bo had already quickly left the first fortress and was heading towards Spirit Hall's Fifth Fortress.
The Fifth Fortress was on a treacherous pass, and under the night sky, Soul Masters of Spirit Hall guarded the wall gates, holding swords.
A chilling aura of battle rushed over him.
Dugu Bo could clearly sense that this fortress was different from the first one; at least the atmosphere was different.
He guessed that Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo must be here, but as for who it was, he wasn't sure—was it Chrysanthemum Douluo, or another one?
The fortress gate was no barrier at all for a Titled Douluo.
Just like that, Dugu Bo directly entered the Fifth Fortress.
He found a place to hide, then waited for a changing guard, using his Spirit Ability to make him reveal the true situation here. He waited like this for several hours.
Several Soul Masters on shift, holding swords, walked out yawning, seemingly ready to go back to sleep.
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment; using a Spirit Ability to control many people at once was not reliable, because this was his second Spirit Ability, a relatively low-level Spirit Ability, and controlling too many people was prone to problems.
But he couldn't let them go either; after all, why would he refuse meat that was delivered to his doorstep?
Just as the Soul Master guards walked past, he saw the last Soul Master, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Green mist appeared around the last Soul Master, and after inhaling it, he slowly fell asleep.
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up; this was it.
Then he began to control this Soul Master, making him walk out of the team and turn into a corner, and he followed him.
The Soul Master came before him and said blankly,
"Master."
Dugu Bo nodded and said,
"Who is the leader of your fortress?"
The Soul Master said blankly,
"It's Lord Lone Wolf Douluo."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment; he had heard of this Lone Wolf Douluo—he was a Titled Douluo, and also a Titled Douluo of considerable strength. He hadn't expected him to come here.
He wondered why the atmosphere here felt so chilling; so this was why.
Since he knew the opponent was a Titled Douluo, his mission was complete, and the subsequent attack would have a clear direction.
However, to be on the safe side, he still asked,
"Is Lone Wolf Douluo a Titled Douluo?"
The Soul Master said blankly,
"Yes."
At this moment, the departing Soul Master team in the distance turned back, clearly having noticed that someone was missing.
One of the Soul Masters asked,
"Brother, where did you run off to! We'll play cards together later."
Dugu Bo sighed; he had originally wanted to ask more things, but he didn't expect them to come looking for him. Since that was the case, this interrogation would end here.
After affixing an invisibility talisman to his body, he disappeared.
The Soul Master in the corner gradually woke up, then looked around blankly, saying in confusion,
"Why am I here?"
After leaving the Fifth Fortress, Dugu Bo rushed towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and when he encountered the mountain-protecting array.
He took out a piece of cut paper, cut it into the shape of a door, and affixed it to the barrier of the mountain-protecting array.
The barrier seemed to melt away, and soon a door-like hole appeared. He directly slipped in, then put away the cut paper, and the barrier re-formed.
He looked at the cut paper in his hand and couldn't help but praise,
"The items in Zhuge Lan's hands are truly miraculous; I don't even understand the reason behind them."
Upon returning to the Sect, he naturally headed towards Jukeju Restaurant to inform Zhuge Lan of his findings.
On the way, he discovered a ghostly figure, and a Titled Douluo's aura inadvertently emanated from it.
Dugu Bo immediately held his breath and stayed behind a tree to observe the situation.
After all, the number of Titled Douluos in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not large, and the aura just now felt familiar, like Spirit Hall's Ghost Douluo.
But how could Ghost Douluo appear within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
To find out, he decided to investigate thoroughly.
