Chapter 41 Qian Daobai Returns to the Spirit Hall! Yu Xiaogang Hangs from the City Wall! A Tragic Scene!
Sever limbs... hang from the city wall...
Yu Xiaogang imagined the scene, and a fear originating from the depths of his soul made his whole body tremble violently.
He wanted to climb, to escape this place.
However, his limbs, with their bones completely shattered, could not even support him to move an inch.
An indescribable despair welled up in his heart, and his throat became extremely dry.
"No! Don't! You can't do this!"
Yu Xiaogang used his last bit of strength to let out a terrified roar.
Unfortunately, his wailing did not elicit any sympathy from anyone.
Qian Renxue nodded slightly and responded respectfully.
"Yes, Master."
"I will send someone to carry it out."
In the corner of the room.
Xiao Wu, whose soul power was sealed, saw everything that was happening outside.
When she heard Qian Daobai punish Yu Xiaogang, she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.
She covered her lips tightly with both hands, trying not to make a sound, and her bright eyes were filled with fear.
"That's terrifying..."
"Even the master... couldn't resist him?"
Xiao Wu's heart was filled with shock at Qian Daobai's strength and fear of his thunderous methods.
In the courtyard, Qian Daobai ignored Yu Xiaogang on the ground and turned to walk into the house.
Qian Renxue followed closely behind.
The two walked side by side, and Qian Renxue unconsciously moved her body slightly closer to Qian Daobai.
Her graceful figure, draped in a magnificent gold gown, was outlined in alluring curves under the moonlight.
As she walked, her palm brushed against Qian Daobai's arm, intentionally or unintentionally.
That sensation was fleeting.
As she approached the door, Qian Renxue suddenly stopped, turned to the side, and whispered in Qian Daobai's ear.
A warm breath, accompanied by a faint fragrance, brushed past the ears of the thousand cypress trees.
"Master."
Her voice was as soft as a feather.
Qian Daobai hummed in agreement and turned to look at her.
"How...how do you have an angel's token?"
Qian Renxue finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
Qian Daobai's expression remained unchanged; he simply stated the facts casually.
"I obtained this token many years ago."
He paused for a moment, then dropped a real bombshell.
"Moreover, I am Qian Daoliu's older brother."
The confusion on Qian Renxue's face froze instantly.
A sense of panic welled up in her heart.
Her fingers, hidden in her sleeve, instinctively pinched her arm hard.
"No...it's impossible..."
Qian Renxue subconsciously took two steps back, shaking her head as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"Master, you...you're lying to me, aren't you?"
She was unwilling and unable to believe this fact.
Qian Daobai did not answer her question directly.
He simply raised his head, glanced at the deep night sky, and then slowly spoke.
"It's time for us to return to the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue froze on the spot.
After a moment, she nodded slightly.
That's fine.
Returning to the Spirit Hall, to that familiar place, will naturally reveal all the mysteries.
The master's true identity will then be finally confirmed.
...
Meanwhile, inside the temporary council chamber at Shrek's headquarters.
Tang San and his group were waiting anxiously.
Several days have passed, but Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong have disappeared without a trace, sending back no news.
Worry was written all over everyone's face.
Why haven't we heard from the teacher yet?
Tang San looked very anxious, his brows furrowed in worry.
Dai Mubai paced back and forth in the room, his handsome face full of irritation.
"Let's wait one more night. If there's still no news tonight, we'll have to think of something."
However, no matter how anxious they were, they could only wait passively without knowing the exact whereabouts of Yu Xiaogang and the others.
The next morning.
Suddenly, a great commotion arose on the eastern city wall of Luoyun City.
Countless civilians and passing Soul Masters gathered there, pointing and discussing the view above the city wall.
On the towering city wall, a person was hanging there.
The man's limbs were severed at the root, his wounds were wrapped in rough strips of cloth, his body was covered in blood, and he was barely breathing. It was none other than Yu Xiaogang, who had been missing for several days.
He was hung there like a rag doll, enduring the stares of everyone.
"Who is this person? What did he do wrong that he's hanging here?"
Someone asked the soldier on guard nearby out of curiosity.
The soldier with a serious expression glanced at the people on the city wall and announced loudly in an emotionless tone.
"This person is named Yu Xiaogang. He is vicious and hypocritical. He once deliberately plotted to harm others for his own selfish reasons."
"For many years, they have been spreading erroneous theories about Soul Masters on the mainland, misleading young people."
"Furthermore, when outmatched, in order to save their own lives, they shamelessly betrayed their companions and lovers."
"Such treacherous, cunning, despicable, and shameless individuals should be hung on the city walls as a warning to others!"
The soldier's words were clearly heard by every onlooker.
A commotion suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"So he's that so-called theoretical master Yu Xiaogang? It's true what they say, seeing is believing!"
"Tsk tsk, I thought he was some big shot, but it turns out he's just a spineless coward who betrays his friends for personal gain!"
"Insidious, cunning, hypocritical, and incompetent—such a person should be publicly shamed so everyone can see his true colors!"
"Yes, they only severed his limbs and spared his life, which is too lenient on him!"
In an instant, countless disdainful, contemptuous, and disgusted gazes shot towards Yu Xiaogang on the city wall like sharp arrows.
Inside the temporary council chamber at Shrek's headquarters.
The air was as heavy and oppressive as solidified lead.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others remained silent, their brows furrowed with deep sorrow.
It's been several days already.
Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
"Squeak—"
The door to the council chamber was pushed open, and a figure walked in.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
It's Tang San.
His usually composed face was now filled with gloom, somewhat similar to the expression on the day Xiao Wu disappeared.
A sense of foreboding suddenly settled over everyone; an ominous premonition quietly surfaced.
Tang San walked up to the crowd and stopped.
He looked around, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he found it difficult to speak.
"I just received a message from the teacher."
He finally spoke, his voice very low.
"Teacher, he..."
A deep sorrow was revealed in Tang San's eyes.
He paused for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts or calming his emotions.
"His limbs were severed."
