“When I rushed here from Tiandou City, I rested several times along the way. When I passed through a small town, the local city lord reported something to me.”
"Because this matter is related to the teams participating in this competition, I brought it with me."
As he spoke, Lin Gongfeng took out a document from his soul tool and presented it to Qian Renxue with both hands.
Qian Renxue and Mu Ci exchanged a glance, wondering what else, besides the matter of Emperor Xueye of Tiandou City, could have warranted such a reaction from him.
But since it's already been presented, there's no harm in taking a look.
Qian Renxue immediately and decisively opened the envelope of the letter in her hand, took out a slip of paper, and began to quickly browse through it.
After reading it, Qian Renxue's expression became somewhat strange. She then handed it to Mu Ci, gesturing for him to take a look as well.
After reading it, Mu Ci's expression was exactly the same as Qian Renxue's. She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to express herself.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Ci said to Qian Renxue, "Since this concerns fallen soul masters, let His Holiness the Pope handle it."
Upon hearing the words "His Holiness the Pope," Qian Renxue recalled the incident before the war with the Haotian Sect began, and immediately let out a cold snort.
"Indeed, this matter should be left to His Holiness the Pope to handle."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue immediately waved her hand and summoned a servant, instructing him to deliver the letter to the high platform.
A moment later, Bibi Dong, who was sitting on the papal chair with Hu Liena gently massaging her temples, received a letter sent by Qian Renxue.
She immediately opened it with a puzzled look and began to look at it. Her beautiful face darkened in an instant, and she instantly understood the meaning behind Qian Renxue and Mu Ci's words. Her beautiful eyes closed immediately, and her breathing became slightly rapid.
Seeing her teacher's expression, Hu Liena became curious about what was written in the letter and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong? Has something else happened?"
Upon hearing Hu Liena's question, Bibi Dong took two deep breaths and replied helplessly, "It's nothing, Nana. Your sister wants me to make a decision and see what I think."
Hearing this, Hu Liena looked puzzled: "Sister? When did I get a sister?"
Ignoring Hu Liena's puzzled expression, Bibi Dong sighed, stood up, looked at the many teams that had not yet dispersed in the square, pointed her gaze at the Shrek team at the back of the group, and said sternly.
"Guards! Seize Yu Xiaogang, the instructor of Shrek Academy!"
Chapter 247 Since that's the case, let's fight our way out!
"Men, seize Yu Xiaogang, the instructor of Shrek Academy!"
As Bibi Dong's voice fell from the high platform, the Holy Emperor Warriors near the square immediately responded and rushed towards Shrek Academy at the end of the line without the slightest hesitation.
Feeling the fierce aura of the several Holy Emperor warriors and their figures constantly approaching Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiao Gang!"
Flander and Liu Erlong shouted at almost the same time.
The two exchanged glances and instantly reached an understanding. They suddenly flashed to the left and right, blocking Yu Xiaogang, whose face was ashen.
boom--!
The powerful auras of the two high-level Soul Saints suddenly erupted, forming visible waves of soul power that rushed towards the approaching Saint Emperor Warrior.
The Holy Emperor Warriors' forward momentum was momentarily halted, but they quickly regained their footing, and five soul rings appeared in front of them one after another, blocking the soul power pressure from Flander and Liu Erlong.
Upon seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately stepped forward, unleashing a soul pressure even more terrifying than that of Flander and Liu Erlong, as they shouted sharply.
"How dare you! You dare to defy the Pope in the presence of His Holiness?!"
The soul pressure from the two titled Douluo instantly pressed down on the heads of the three members of the Golden Iron Triangle, like a mountain.
Yu Xiaogang, whose soul power was merely at the Soul Sect level, immediately felt his legs go weak and was about to kneel down.
Fortunately, Flander and Liu Erlong, who were beside him, reacted quickly and helped him up, preventing him from being so embarrassed.
After doing all this, the hot-tempered Liu Erlong immediately looked up and glared at Bibi Dong on the high platform, shouting, "Bibi Dong, what are you doing?"
Bibi Dong felt the gazes of her daughter and son-in-law, sighed inwardly, and then her eyes sharpened, her cold voice resounding throughout the square.
"Capture the fallen Soul Master Yu Xiaogang! Anyone who resists will be considered an accomplice and severely punished!"
After a slight pause, Bibi Dong looked at Liu Erlong with a cold gaze, her voice icy, "Also, Liu Erlong, this is the Papal Palace of Wuhun City! You should address me as—Your Holiness the Pope!"
As Bibi Dong finished speaking, the many teams that hadn't left the square couldn't help but murmur in surprise, all looking at the Shrek team with strange expressions.
Unexpectedly, Shrek Academy, which made it to the fourth round in its first participation in the Elite Tournament, has teachers who are actually Fallen Soul Masters.
It should be understood that fallen soul masters, no matter where they are in the Douluo Continent, are despised and hated by normal soul masters and ordinary people, who wish they could get rid of them as soon as possible.
After all, their cultivation methods are usually bloody and cruel, and they don't treat people as their own kind at all. Wherever they go, blood and gore follow.
As Yu Xiaogang listened to the whispers and pointing fingers of the crowd around him, his face turned deathly pale, and his thin body began to tremble involuntarily.
Even though she has now reached the Soul Master level and can continue cultivating, she still values her reputation immensely.
At this moment, being pointed at and criticized by people representing most of the Soul Master world in the square, and having her reputation ruined, how could she not feel despair?
However, Yu Xiaogang could not refute what Bibi Dong said.
Because she knew the truth of the matter better than anyone else.
"Bibi Dong..." Liu Erlong's angry roar had barely left her lips when a terrifying soul pressure began to slam down on her.
Even with her high-level Soul Saint cultivation, she could not help but kneel down, her face flushed red.
Feeling the increasing pressure on her, Liu Erlong had no choice but to grit her teeth and change her words, saying, "Your Holiness, aren't you going a bit too far? How could Xiao Gang possibly be a Fallen Soul Master?"
"She did practice secret techniques, but that was only to break through her bottleneck; she didn't use them to do anything immoral."
"Has the Spirit Hall's demands reached such a level? If a Dark Spirit is considered a Fallen Spirit Master?"
"Then shouldn't Bone Douluo of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile School, as well as you on the high platform and Ghost Douluo beside you, all be considered Fallen Soul Masters?"
Upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Sword Douluo of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile School, who had been bombarded with map attacks, immediately turned pale.
Bone Douluo's Bone Dragon Martial Soul is indeed of the dark attribute and quite strange, but whether he is a fallen soul master or not, they know better than anyone else.
Upon hearing this, they immediately turned to look at Bibi Dong on the high platform.
Bibi Dong's beautiful face remained unchanged, showing no negative emotions despite Liu Erlong's words. She then spoke loudly to Liu Erlong.
"Whether someone is a Fallen Soul Master or not is certainly not determined by their Martial Soul attribute. Therefore, I have some questions for your esteemed academy's instructor, Yu Xiaogang. Please answer truthfully—"
Her voice trailed off, and Bibi Dong's gaze shifted from Liu Erlong to Yu Xiaogang, who was being supported by the two men.
"When you came to Wuhun City, did you pass through the mountain road of Renault City?"
As Bibi Dong asked her question, everyone present turned their gaze to Yu Xiaogang, whose face had turned pale, and awaited his answer.
Her gaze, as firm as a mountain, fell upon Yu Xiaogang, causing her to tremble even more violently. Even with Flander and Liu Erlong supporting her, she could not help but slump down.
As everyone waited patiently, Yu Xiaogang, his lips trembling, gritted his teeth and uttered a single word: "Yes."
She didn't hide anything because it was pointless; if she could pinpoint the exact location, she must have already obtained clues and evidence.
"The second question," Bibi Dong said coldly, "was you ever kidnapped by bandits and taken to their stronghold for nearly twenty days?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang's body trembled even more violently. After a moment, he replied, "Yes."
“Since that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to say.” Bibi Dong’s voice was icy cold. “There were a total of thirty-eight people in that mountain stronghold. Thirty-six of them died after their life essence was drained. Only two escaped because they were out on patrol.”
"After returning to the mountain stronghold and discovering the incident, they went to the nearest city lord's mansion in Renault to report the case. They are currently being held in the Renault prison because of their bandit status."
"This matter was brought by Lin, the Imperial Envoy of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, when he passed through Renault City. The matter of the Fallen Soul Master is indeed true."
Do you have anything to say?
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, even the people from Shrek Academy looked at Yu Xiaogang in shock.
Of course, the most shocked were Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun.
They also practiced the Fallen Soul Master secret technique given to them by Tang San, but neither of them had yet made any further progress in that direction.
There's nothing wrong with cultivating secret techniques, but if the identity of a fallen soul master is confirmed, then the problem becomes much bigger.
So when they looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was being supported, their eyes not only showed shock, but also a hint of admiration.
Unexpectedly, this master, whom they had always considered a waste, actually had such courage.
"Since you have nothing to say, then you tacitly agree that this is true." Bibi Dong immediately waved her jade hand with a cold expression.
"Take it!"
As Bibi Dong's words fell to the ground once more, the Holy Emperor's warriors, having received their orders, pressed forward towards them.
Seeing this, Liu Erlong's expression immediately turned anxious. He turned to Yu Xiaogang, whose face had turned pale, and said, "Xiaogang, what should we do?"
Yu Xiaogang felt the gaze from Liu Erlong, and his lips trembled as he couldn't speak.
Meanwhile, Flander was also torn between his own thoughts, but finally, gazing at Liu Erlong's anxious and beautiful face, he suddenly stood in front of the two of them and said in a deep voice.
"The Golden Trio, I'm the boss, I can't just stand by and do nothing!"
"Boss Francis!"
Liu Erlong immediately exclaimed in surprise, looking at Flander's back standing in front of the two of them, her tone filled with emotion.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of evil energy rising within him. The ferocity emanating from the Dark Dragon began to replace his cowardly nature, and a red light flickered in his eyes. He immediately spoke fiercely to the two of them.
"In that case, let's fight our way out!"
Chapter 248 Plane Crash, Extraction of Origin
After speaking, Yu Xiaogang immediately stood down beside the two of them, forming a triangle.
Feeling the surging soul power within their bodies, Liu Erlong and Flander shouted in unison, "Good!"
In an instant, surging soul power began to emanate from the three of them.
"Sun and Moon Brilliant Golden Turn!"
Flanders then shouted.
Although it was called "Golden Turn," what rose behind him was not golden light, but a purplish-black light full of evil.
At the same time, the same purplish-black light also appeared on both the master and Liu Erlong.
A dark light spread out, instantly forming a purplish-black triangle with the three people at its apex. Complex and mysterious patterns began to emerge from the three people's bodies and spread across the ground.
At this moment, Flanders and the other two were enveloped in a layer of purplish-black mist.
Flander and Liu Erlong slowly closed their eyes, while the evil intent in Yu Xiaogang's eyes became even stronger, and the purplish-black soul power light seemed to spew out from his eyes as if it were a tangible substance.
