Chapter 74 The Underworld Trials Yu Xiaogang, and the Hysterical Bibi Dong!
The underworld, at the gates of hell.
"Chrysanthemum Pass...you, you let me go!"
Yu Xiaogang's soul was tightly bound by a pitch-black chain, staggering and still shouting.
"Let me tell you, I am the chosen one! A celestial being, watch out for my dragon tail sweep..."
"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts so much!"
Before he could finish speaking,
A mourning staff, radiating a chilling, ghostly aura, struck his soul hard.
He screamed in pain, and his spirit seemed to dim.
"What Chrysanthemum Pass?"
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly! We are the leaders of the Underworld, the Black and White Impermanence!"
"If you dare to make another sound, I'll shatter your soul!"
Holding a mourning staff, with a deathly pale face and a long tongue sticking out, Bai Wuchang coldly said.
"You...you can't do this to me!"
Yu Xiaogang was both shocked and frightened, and quickly invoked his connections.
"I have a past connection with your Spirit Hall's Pope! I am also an honorary elder of your Spirit Hall, the National Preceptor of the Heaven Dou Empire..."
"Smack!"
Another blow landed, and Yu Xiaogang was beaten so badly that he rolled on the ground, howling in pain, both shocked and bewildered.
He clearly remembered that he had relied on his wisdom and luck to leap over the dragon gate and was about to reach the pinnacle of his life...
How can you open and close your eyes so quickly?
We've arrived at this eerie and terrifying ghost place?
He was still chained up by Kiku-Ghost Douluo, and no one knew where he was being taken... But he clearly remembered that Kiku-Ghost Douluo was already dead!
Am I dreaming?
But the increasingly intense pain emanating from his soul, along with the eerie, ghostly atmosphere surrounding him, all told him something.
This is not a dream!
After being hit several more times,
Yu Xiaogang finally behaved himself, shrinking his neck and following the two men tremblingly through the howling winds of the Yellow Springs Road, where corpses littered the Wild Dog Ridge...
Finally, they arrived at a grand hall that exuded an aura of endless majesty and terror.
Inside the hall, ghosts and spirits of the underworld were lined up on both sides, their imposing presence terrifying.
At the far end of the hall sat a man with a stern and ferocious face, exuding authority without anger.
Upon seeing this eerie and terrifying scene,
Before even entering the main hall,
Yu Xiaogang's legs suddenly gave way, and he collapsed to the ground with a "thud."
Even the mourning stick is no longer needed.
King Yama lowered his eyes, unfurled a scroll in his hand that shimmered with a ghostly light, and his voice, like muffled thunder, echoed throughout the hall:
[Yu Xiaogang, from the Douluo Continent, son of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, patriarch Yu Yuanzhen.]
[Due to a mutation in his martial soul, his soul power is permanently limited to level 29, yet his ambitions are sky-high, and he is ashamed of mediocrity!]
[Attempting to use martial spirit theory to avenge their humiliation and gain fame!]
[Using the family's name to enter the Spirit Hall's library, he unexpectedly encountered the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong.]
Seeing that he was exceptionally beautiful, of noble birth, and relatively simple-minded, she harbored ulterior motives and tried to please him...
[Later, exploiting their trust and affection, he stole research data from the Spirit Hall, packaged it as his own research findings, and gained the title of Grandmaster in the world of Soul Masters...]
[Having gained undeserved fame, his ego inflated, and he urged her to abandon her position as a saintess and elope with him!]
[When the plot was exposed, he was warned by Pope Qian Xunji... In a panic, he abandoned the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong and fled alone. Afterwards, he not only showed no remorse but also harbored resentment...]
Papal Palace.
After the news of Yu Xiaogang's death was announced
Bibi Dong's gaze never left the split screen in the sky where Ghost Douluo was located.
When they saw that Yu Xiaogang's spirit had actually appeared,
Her once lifeless eyes suddenly burst forth with a terrifying light... as if a dying person had grasped at the last straw.
"It's Xiaogang! I knew it, I knew it... He would definitely show up!"
She murmured softly, her fingertips digging deeply into her palms, oblivious to the blood seeping from them.
"I specifically instructed Ghost to look after Xiaogang…"
"With them here, there must be a way... At worst, they can find him a position in the underworld, which is better than his soul being scattered..."
Bibi Dong muttered to herself, her eyes fixed on the sky.
However, as the trial in the Hall of Hell began,
Those cold words, like the sharpest knives, pierced her heart.
Then twist repeatedly!
"No...it can't be! This can't be real!"
"no--!!!"
Bibi Dong froze, her pupils contracting sharply, as if she had heard the most absurd lie in the world.
The next second,
She sprang up abruptly from the papal throne, her stunningly beautiful face, capable of captivating all beings, instantly contorting in shock.
All nobility, composure, and majesty shattered instantly, leaving only volcanic eruption-like madness and rage!
"What do you know?! A bunch of ghosts from the underworld, what right do you have to judge him?!"
"Why—!!!"
Her screams were filled with boundless resentment and madness.
The terrifying soul power that had been suppressed for so long exploded like a powder keg that had been ignited!
"boom--!!!"
The meticulously crafted throne and magnificent decorations behind him were instantly shattered into dust by an invisible impact!
Dust and smoke filled the air.
She alone stood at the center of the destruction.
Her dress fluttered wildly, her long hair flew in the air, like a Rakshasa woman crawling out of purgatory.
"You don't understand! You have no idea about the feelings between us!!!"
"He approached me... because of love! Because we both love researching martial spirits, it's a resonance of souls!"
"He wasn't using me...he's not that kind of person!"
She seemed to be convincing herself.
It's as if it's announcing something to everyone.
"He's not useless! His theories are groundbreaking!"
"It's the culmination of our wisdom!"
"It is the dawn that illuminates the future of the Soul Master world!"
"Those materials...those materials were just for reference!"
"His most brilliant and core theories were all conceived through painstaking effort!"
"And he didn't take advantage of me; he was sincere towards me! The way he looked at me... the things he said... were all true!"
"I helped him willingly!"
"I saw the loneliness and perseverance beneath his dazzling talent!"
"You're all talking nonsense! This is a conspiracy—!!!"
Her voice grew increasingly shrill, logic gradually drowned out by surging emotions, leaving only obsessive repetition and denial:
"This is a conspiracy against him!"
"It's because his theories infringe upon the interests of certain people! It's because he's too outstanding, attracting jealousy!!!"
"And that wasn't an elopement... it was our pursuit of freedom! It was our struggle against fate!"
"Qian Xunji... that hypocritical beast, he is the real culprit!"
"Xiao Gang... he's only leaving temporarily to protect me!"
"That must be it!"
final,
All the screams, arguments, and anger,
All of this transformed into a mournful cry, piercingly shrill, as it gazed at the blurry figure in the sky.
It was as if he had exhausted all his strength and expectations:
"Xiao Gang—!!!"
She stretched out her trembling hand toward the void, her fingertips seemingly trying to pierce through the barriers of the world and grasp that illusory shadow.
"Answer me! Tell them yourself…that's not how it is!"
Tell them—!!!
Outside the Papal Palace,
Sensing the uncontrollable, destructive fluctuations of soul power, like a storm,
The elders' expressions changed drastically.
They all retreated dozens of feet at once, keeping a safe distance.
The tragic death of Demon Bear Douluo was still fresh in everyone's mind, and no one dared to provoke him at this time.
They listened to the completely irrational, repeated screams and explanations from inside the hall, their expressions extremely complex.
Astonishment, disdain, pity, and even a hint of fear were mixed in the eyes of the crowd.
"There were rumors before that the 'master's' theories were of dubious origin... It turns out he really stole the Spirit Hall's achievements!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo lowered his voice.
"It's not just theft... they even dared to deceive and exploit His Holiness the Pope! It's utterly shameless!"
Lingyuan Douluo's face showed displeasure.
"Alas, how wise and intelligent His Majesty is, to be deceived by such a clumsy trick..."
"It seems that love is indeed a terrible thing... I'd better just focus on cultivating myself!"
Serpent Spear Douluo shook his head and sighed, his tone filled with lingering fear.
The elders exchanged glances, each seeing a deep sense of lingering fear and relief in the other's eyes.
Luckily, they're both old bachelors!
Inside the offering hall.
"That stupid woman! That crazy hag!"
Sensing the violent aura emanating from the direction of the Papal Palace, Golden Crocodile Douluo was so enraged that his beard bristled, and he slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair.
"I said it back then: this kind of scourge should be slapped to death, and that would be the end of it!"
"Big brother, you're just too soft-hearted!"
He initially disdained Bibi Dong's mess.
But at this moment,
The dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall actually made a fool of himself over such a worthless piece of trash!
Yu Xiaogang further tarnished the reputation of the Spirit Hall.
It was thrown into all the heavens and myriad worlds, which made him feel extremely angry and ashamed.
Azure Phoenix Douluo sighed and advised:
"Second brother, calm down..."
"In any case, she was once a saintess, the face of the Spirit Hall, and even more so... Xiaoxue's birth mother."
"My elder brother had his own difficulties back then."
Mentioning that messy account from back then, the elders frowned, feeling deeply troubled.
Above the main seat,
Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze icy cold, devoid of his usual gentleness.
"Now that things have come to this, I hope she... takes care of herself!"
"If we continue to act recklessly and lose our composure because of this despicable person and his sordid past, we will damage the foundation of the Spirit Hall and even affect Xiaoxue's future..."
He didn't finish speaking.
But a sharp aura was faintly rising from his body.
Although it's uncertain what state Bibi Dong has reached after absorbing the immortal dew,
But if she really insists on going her own way...
The Spirit Hall was dragged into the abyss for the sake of Yu Xiaogang's soul!
So he has a thousand streams,
Even if it means burning this broken body to ashes, I will still do the work of cleaning up the house and restoring order!
...
Originally, everyone's attention was drawn to the newly emerged Doupo world, but this sudden bombshell revelation...
This instantly drew everyone's attention back.
Countless people stared in disbelief at the sky.
Listen to Yama recount Yu Xiaogang's "glorious deeds" one by one.
"My God... so that's how he got that title of 'master'?"
"Stealing research data from the Spirit Hall and packaging it as their own theory? That's just too...shameless!"
But what truly astonished and captivated countless people was...
It was that proud, beautiful, and powerful Pope of the Spirit Hall.
it turns out...
I almost got tricked by such a hypocritical and incompetent good-for-nothing?!
My goodness, what great taste...
