Chapter 746 Breaking Legs and Throwing Them Out
Oh no, that papal decree is actually in Bibi Dong's hands.
No wonder she left me hanging here for so long; it seems she did it on purpose.
Although the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School maintain a harmonious relationship on the surface, they secretly suppress and target each other, and are already enemies.
Upon seeing the token in Bibi Dong's hand and the six conspicuous patterns on it, Yu Xiaogang's pupils suddenly contracted.
He realized almost immediately that the papal decree was the one Ning Fengzhi had lent him.
"No, that's not it, Your Holiness the Pope."
His eyes darted around in their sockets, and Yu Xiaogang quickly tried to argue:
"I am not trying to spy on the Spirit Hall's secrets, nor will I betray them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I can guarantee that."
"As for this papal decree, I did borrow it from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, simply to make it easier to see you, and it doesn't involve any other interests."
"Your Holiness, you must believe me."
"You know me, Yu Xiaogang, I never lie."
Listening to Yu Xiaogang's sophistry, Bibi Dong remained noncommittal, but in her heart she didn't believe a word of it. She was no longer the simple and foolish Bibi Dong of the past, and had long since seen through Yu Xiaogang's shameless nature.
She simply looked down at Yu Xiaogang with indifference, watching his performance as if he were a clown:
"Oh? Is that so?"
However, instead of dwelling on the matter, they asked:
"I heard you've taken on a disciple?"
Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth slightly, thought for a moment, and then did not hide anything:
"Yes, I have taken on a disciple who has been cultivating with me for seven or eight years. Fortunately, he possesses the same twin martial souls as you."
"That child is exceptionally talented, showing the potential to become a Title Douluo. I hope to nurture him into a powerful figure."
"so."
At the end, Yu Xiaogang paused, but Bibi Dong finished his sentence for him:
"So, you want to get the secret of twin martial souls and the method of absorbing soul rings beyond the limit from me, so you can use it to train that good disciple of yours?"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't detect the sarcasm in Bibi Dong's words. He nodded with an "Mm" and looked at her with hopeful eyes.
Bibi Dong chuckled, her voice suddenly turning cold:
"Then why should I, the Pope, help you?"
"So you're going to train a powerful individual to oppose me, the Pope, and the Spirit Hall?"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, then quickly made a solemn promise:
"Of course not."
"If you could tell me how you overcame the drawbacks of having twin martial souls, and how you safely absorbed soul rings beyond your limits."
"I can assure you that my disciple will never oppose the Spirit Hall in his lifetime."
Bibi Dong's cold smile deepened, and the sarcasm in her voice intensified.
"Heh, Yu Xiaogang, do you think this Pope will believe you?"
"You don't actually think that I, the Pope, don't know who your disciple is, do you?"
As Bibi Dong spoke, she flipped her jade-like hand, took out a page of paper, and tossed it in front of Yu Xiaogang:
"Your disciple Tang San, who comes from the Clear Sky Sect, has already had his information submitted to our sect."
Yu Xiaogang instinctively caught the flying paper in his hand, looked down and found that it contained Tang San's information in great detail.
Everything, including appearance, age, background, martial spirit, soul skills, and mastered abilities, was recorded clearly.
"This...this..."
Holding the paper and looking at the information on it, Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with shock. His lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
With Tang San's information laid out before him, his claim that Tang San would not be an enemy of the Spirit Hall—no, it should be called a lie—naturally crumbled on its own.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's icy voice came from above the platform again:
"Tang San, son of Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, possesses the bloodline of the Haotian Sect, has innate full soul power, and has twin martial souls, the Haotian Hammer and the Blue Silver Grass. Before the age of fifteen, he had already broken through to the level forty Soul Master realm, possessed a black ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, hated the Spirit Hall, and was close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Do you think I, the Pope, would allow someone who harbors such deep hatred for the Spirit Hall to live? Since he cannot be used by the Spirit Hall, the only path left for him is to be eliminated."
"Therefore, you have absolutely no need to know the secrets of twin martial souls and the super-limit absorption soul ring."
The master's body trembled violently, and he abruptly raised his head, glaring at Bibi Dong:
"What did you say?"
Bibi Dong's beautiful face was adorned with a faint, cold smile as she looked down at Yu Xiaogang.
"What, haven't I made myself clear enough?"
"Your disciple, I will not allow him to live."
Yu Xiaogang suddenly stepped forward, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot, and his whole body trembling violently.
"You're better than Bibi Dong, you..."
Seeing the master's ferocious expression, Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged, but she felt inexplicably pleased. She chuckled softly.
"It seems that Tang San is very important to you. That makes sense, hehe—"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's breathing became extremely heavy, and he said, word by word:
"Bibi Dong, listen to me clearly."
"I have no children of my own, and Tang San is like my son. If anything happens to him, I will destroy the Spirit Hall at all costs."
Faced with Yu Xiaogang's threat, Bibi Dong didn't take it to heart at all, and didn't even get angry. Her face was full of disdain.
"Destroy the Spirit Hall? With your abilities? A piece of trash stuck at the level 29 Great Spirit Master for life? Or are you suggesting it's based on those Spirit Hall theories you stole?"
As she spoke, Bibi Dong's eyes turned completely icy cold:
"Yu Xiaogang, you still have no self-awareness. How dare you, a piece of trash like you, threaten this Pope?"
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, his expression changing rapidly and dramatically. He was completely unaware that Bibi Dong was growing impatient. Instead, he pointed at her and roared as if he had lost his mind:
"I'll say the same thing again."
"If Tang San dies at the hands of the Spirit Hall, then I will take revenge at all costs."
"Bibi Dong, this is the last time I'll call you that. If you dare send anyone to attack Tang San, our friendship ends here!"
"presumptuous!"
Bang! A terrifying pressure of soul power suddenly erupted from Bibi Dong's body, and the overwhelming force slammed into Yu Xiaogang's body.
Before Yu Xiaogang could react, he was already flying high into the air and crashing heavily onto the two three-meter-high iron doors of the council hall with a loud bang.
"Sentiments? You dare talk to me about sentiments?"
Bibi Dong underestimated Yu Xiaogang's idiocy; he dared to threaten her to her face. She had no idea where he got the guts.
She had already tolerated his rambling on and on, which was the greatest tolerance she could muster. Yet he still dared to use past favors to disgust her. Bibi Dong couldn't bear it any longer and chose to take action.
Of course, with Bibi Dong's strength, she could easily have killed Yu Xiaogang, but she didn't. She only gave him a small punishment.
"puff--"
His body slid off the door, and Yu Xiaogang coughed up a mouthful of blood. He was in pain all over his body and didn't know how many bones he had broken.
"Bibi Dong, you...you actually attacked me?"
Yu Xiaogang was utterly horrified, his eyes filled with nothing but fear. He truly hadn't expected Bibi Dong to be so ruthless, disregarding their past relationship and even turning against him.
Although Bibi Dong didn't actually fight, but only unleashed a burst of soul power pressure, it was still soul power pressure at the level of a Super Douluo. How could he, a level 29 Great Soul Master, withstand it?
Naturally, he was sent flying with a bang.
"Someone come here!"
At this moment, Bibi Dong was already somewhat disinterested and had run out of patience. She didn't want to listen to Yu Xiaogang's nonsense anymore, and just seeing his buzz cut and stinky face made her feel disgusted.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!"
The gate opened, and two paladins clad in glowing armor walked in, seemingly having been waiting for some time.
"Drag this piece of trash away, break his legs, and throw him out of Wuhun City!"
Bibi Dong sat on the papal throne, her jade-like hand gently pinching her brow. Ignoring Yu Xiaogang's surprised, fearful gaze, she waved to the two paladin knights.
"Yes, sir!"
Two paladins obeyed the order, got up, and dragged Yu Xiaogang, who was limp on the ground and wriggling like a maggot, away. No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail.
"No, Bibi Dong, you can't do this to me, Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong, let me go! I won't do it again! No, let me go! Do you know who I am? I won't let you get away with this!"
…………
the other side.
After Tang Hao's roadblock problem was resolved, the road ahead was cleared.
The group from the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Academy team from the Heaven Dou Empire continued south towards Spirit City.
Nothing unexpected happened during the rest of the journey.
Tang Hao unleashed the destructive power of the "Great Sumeru Hammer," a divine skill of the Clear Sky Hammer. While gaining immense power, he also paid a huge price.
His body suffered a tremendous backlash.
Most importantly, after using the Destruction Technique once, all spirit rings will disappear within three days, and the skill cannot be used again for at least thirty-six days. Forcibly using the skill will damage the spirit rings.
Therefore, at this time, Tang Hao was merely a Soul Master with a Martial Soul but no Soul Rings available, and had no strength left to attack the Spirit Hall group.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall group traveled with great peace of mind for the rest of the journey.
However, compared to the Spirit Hall and others' complete lack of restraint, the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master team behind them was somewhat frightened.
Several academies from the five kingdoms and duchies even jointly pressured Prince Snowstar, who was leading the team, to increase the team's defenses in order to better protect their safety.
Under pressure, Prince Xuexing had no choice but to discuss with Ning Fengzhi and decided to temporarily transfer 3,000 armored soldiers from the cities they passed through to assist in the escort, while also summoning some Soul Master experts from the capital to come quickly.
The atmosphere among the Shrek Seven Devils was rather somber throughout the journey, with most of them cultivating in silence.
The only good news was that Ma Hongjun finally broke through to level 40 when he was still five days away from Wuhun City.
In order to help him obtain his fourth spirit ring as soon as possible, Flander, the four-eyed cat-owl flying spirit master, personally took action and directly led him to hunt suitable spirit beasts to absorb the spirit ring.
Time flies.
Seven days later, the entire team finally arrived at Wuhun City.
Compared to massive cities like Heaven Dou City and Soto City, Spirit City is much smaller, not even one-tenth the size of Heaven Dou City.
However, the shock it brought to the Soul Masters was no less than that of these cities, and perhaps even greater.
The city walls of Wuhun City, which is not large in area, were built in the style of the capital city.
The towering city wall, reaching a height of 100 meters, is entirely constructed of granite and is over 30 meters thick. From the outside, it is a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight.
Even Ning Fengzhi, who was wealthy and powerful, couldn't help but admire Wuhun City when he saw it.
It should be noted that this city did not exist originally; it was entirely funded and built by the Spirit Hall.
Building such a city is no easy task; it would be absolutely impossible without sufficient strength, funding, and manpower.
Even the incredibly wealthy Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't dare to make a guarantee.
But the Spirit Hall did it.
This demonstrates its immense power, which should not be underestimated.
What's most peculiar is that Wuhun City is not a quadrilateral like ordinary cities, but a hexagon, meaning it has a total of six city walls.
All those patrolling the city walls were Soul Masters, dressed in the special uniforms of the Spirit Hall, and each of them had a cultivation level of at least Level 20 Great Soul Master.
On each of the six city walls, there is a huge relief, exactly the same as the one on the Spirit Hall token, which is a chrysanthemum, a ghost, a crown, a sword, a dragon, and a hammer, symbolizing six powerful spirits.
Stepping into Wuhun City, one is struck by its bustling atmosphere, with shops lining the streets, though there aren't many pedestrians.
After all, it is a city of Soul Masters, and only Soul Masters are qualified to live here. The population is much smaller than that of most cities on the continent.
However, this was just as the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament were about to be held.
The arrival of the participating Soul Masters from the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires injected fresh blood into Spirit City, making it much more lively.
The shops along the street mostly sell items that Soul Masters need, and even Soul Tools with spatial storage capabilities. No matter the quality, good or bad, you can always find one that suits you.
Many Soul Masters who have just arrived in Wuhun City find it hard to suppress their desire to go out and explore.
Due to the special regulations of Wuhun City, the three thousand armored soldiers and five hundred royal knights who came with the team could only be stationed outside the city.
Therefore, Prince Xuexing only brought fifteen teams of participating Soul Masters into Wuhun City.
A cardinal came out of Wuhun City to greet them. Under his guidance, the more than two hundred people from the Heaven Dou Empire's participating academy were quickly settled in a hotel on the west side of Wuhun City.
