The Madwoman Emerges
Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After seeing off another nobleman's retainer, Ning Fengzhi ordered the mountain gate to be sealed off, indicating that he would no longer receive any visitors.
"The internal struggle within the Spirit Hall has begun."
Ning Fengzhi said with a sigh.
Behind him, the two Douluo, were still somewhat bewildered.
"This is not Bibi Dong herself..."
Chen Xin was halfway through his sentence when he realized that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was now under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall, and he didn't know how to evaluate it.
"It's just an opportunity to suppress His Holy Son Your Highness, except they chose Yu Xiaogang, ha."
Ning Fengzhi's tone was filled with undisguised sarcasm; his old rival had truly lost his mind.
After attaching themselves to Han Li and making a vow, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also modified the original version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and compared it with the publicly available version, wanting to study why it was possible for someone without Soul Power to cultivate it.
But it was a failure without a doubt. Improvement? After research, they found that even a small change could cause other problems. Yu Xiaogang, how dare he?
Furthermore, how dare you trust Bibi Dong? Although they didn't know the details of what happened in Spirit City more than twenty years ago, their spies planted in the Spirit Hall still sent back some unsubstantiated information, which now seems to be true.
After upgrading his Martial Soul and dealing with the matter of the Soul Spirit, Ning Fengzhi completely placed himself in a subordinate position to Han Li. There was no other reason than that the strength and wonder that the other party displayed could truly destroy a sect single-handedly, and he was afraid.
As for Bibi Dong, he wasn't afraid at all.
"But is it really a good idea for us to close the mountain now?"
Gu Rong asked somewhat uncertainly.
"We must seal them off. These nobles have gone to great lengths to come to us, which means what? It means that the Ye Family has completely ignored them and they are just expendable pawns."
"Don't forget, Xue Qinghe's relationship with that Holy Son is one thing, but if it continues, it will provoke his displeasure, which will not do us any good."
"And since His Holy Son Your Highness hasn't responded yet, we won't participate or do anything. Although we won't gain any merit, we also won't make any mistakes. We must stand firm."
Ning Fengzhi thought of the silver-haired woman he had met with Han Li back then; with just a casual glance from her, he couldn't even catch his breath. He spoke with a resounding voice.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Sword and Bone nodded. They rarely opposed Ning Fengzhi's decisions; they had only had doubts earlier.
"Hey, I wonder how that old dragon will react now."
"Just watch the show, it's none of our business anyway."
In the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, gloating laughter could be heard from time to time.
On the mainland, as time went by, more and more victims stood up to denounce Yu Xiaogang. Even with the suppression of the Spirit Hall, it was difficult to silence them. Moreover, most of the branch halls did not have the strength to suppress everything.
The biggest victim was actually Soul Douluo from the Star Luo Empire.
He was originally a commoner who only managed to cultivate to the level of Soul Douluo with great difficulty thanks to the advantage of his Martial Soul Mutation. He didn't have much of a foundation.
After receiving Yu Xiaogang's improved cultivation method and conducting a simple test, he happily began his training and even went into seclusion for a while.
But this seclusion almost killed him in the cultivation room. At first, everything was perfect, but just as he was about to break through to the next level, his Soul Power surged.
Originally, he was going to break through to level 84, but after his Soul Power surged, he broke through to level 80 instead. If it weren't for the support of his Soul Ring, he suspected that he would have dropped even more levels.
The most critical issue was that he discovered his meridians were severely damaged, making further progress impossible.
He was filled with hatred. He originally had a sliver of a chance to cultivate to the title level, although the probability was slim, but now, it was all over.
Enraged, he publicly declared that he would kill Yu Xiaogang before he died, which garnered the support of many victims.
Yes, it's said they're already forming the "Slay-Gang Association".
Among them were not only those who survived by chance, but also some Soul Master who lost their relatives and friends.
Although so far, he only has two Soul Douluo and four Soul Saint, which are high-end combat forces, Gang Zi is not even level 40 yet. He will probably suffer a series of attacks afterward.
People are all hypocritical. Gang Zi didn't force them to cultivate, but he was praised so highly before, and he was proud of it. Now, karma has come back to haunt him.
Yu Yuanzhen was still in seclusion, and before leaving, he told the sect not to pay attention to his mockery and to continue to treat him as hostile as before.
Therefore, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan issued a statement immediately after the incident.
Yu Xiaogang was expelled a long time ago. Everything he did had nothing to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If you want revenge, go find him; they won't interfere.
The Spirit Hall is even more trustworthy. They told you from the beginning that they are not an official product and would not be responsible for any problems. In addition, the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed not long ago, so their reputation is still strong. Who would dare to blame them?
As a result, Gang Zi was completely disgraced, and many people were searching for him, wanting to take his head. His past misdeeds were also brought up again.
Alright, he's still Demi-Human Tang San. If I don't kill you, who will I kill? He's even given you a certain sense of justice.
On the continent, the Soul Master were in complete chaos. Some sought revenge, others wanted to make a name for themselves, and all sorts of people were mixed together, creating a frenzy to find Yu Xiaogang.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang was hiding in a residence in Spirit City, his face pale and trembling.
Only in Spirit City could he feel a sense of safety, because only the people of the Spirit Hall did not issue a warrant for his arrest. Although they all looked down on him, no one attacked him.
"No, I have to save myself."
Yu Xiaogang walked to the door of the room, but dared not open it.
He had been hiding for several days. He didn't know if those people had chased him to Spirit City yet. He was afraid that if he went out, he would run into someone and die a gruesome death.
Moreover, although he claimed to be trying to save himself, the only solution he could think of was to go find Bibi Dong.
Every day after he woke up, information about this matter would silently appear in his room. Clearly, only Bibi Dong could do this in Spirit City.
Just as he was still hesitating, the door was pushed open, Bibi Dong, whom he hadn't seen for several days, walked in.
"You should stay here for now; you can't go anywhere."
As soon as she entered, Bibi Dong spoke.
Yu Xiaogang paused. What he wanted was a complete solution, not to continue hiding. According to the intelligence he had received recently, who knew how long he would keep hiding?
In the past few days, he tried to practice his improved technique intermittently, and there were no abnormalities. However, because of the Bone Replacement, he did not dare to try to practice continuously.
Moreover, Bibi Dong had tested it in front of him before, and there were no abnormalities.
This made him somewhat suspicious that this wasn't his fault.
He couldn't believe that the improved technique he had developed with his own wisdom would cause such a serious impact.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill was released by Han Li, who is only a teenager. What knowledge could he possibly have? Could he possibly know more than Han Li? He only made a small modification that allowed everyone to cultivate faster, so why is everyone now attacking him?
Could it be that there's something wrong with his Mysterious Heaven Skill itself? He was just unlucky and happened to run into this problem.
Yes, that must be it. This is the result of him brainwashing himself while living in fear these past few days.
Whether others believe it or not, he believed it himself.
"You're going to put me under house arrest."
Yu Xiaogang looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and stared at Bibi Dong. He was now completely unable to withstand any stimulation. Under immense psychological pressure, he vented his emotions on the arriving Bibi Dong.
"No, I'm protecting you, you have no idea..."
Bibi Dong's outward facade was torn away by his words, and she explained somewhat hastily.
"Protection? You won't even let me leave my room. Is this what you call protection?"
"If you really want to protect me, you should stand up and speak up for me, and tell those people that there is nothing wrong with the practice route I published. I have tried it these past few days and there have been no accidents at all."
"Who knows if your Spirit Hall did something wrong, or if the previous cultivation method was flawed and you're using me as an excuse."
Yu Xiaogang shouted hysterically.
"That's right, that's exactly what happened. Twenty years ago, you already did it. After I published ' The Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls,' you then accused me of plagiarizing the knowledge of the Spirit Hall, ruining my literary reputation and leaving me in a terrible state."
"You're still using the same methods now. I shouldn't have trusted you; it's all hypocrisy..."
"And the matter of Er Long too..."
The more he talked, the more frantic he became, even getting close to Bibi Dong's face.
As he began to dredge up old grievances, Bibi Dong's breathing became increasingly unstable, and her body began to tremble.
However, in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, this scene was a sign that Bibi Dong been right and was showing signs of guilt.
"You and Qian Xunji and disciple, are both..."
Having lost his mind, Yu Xiaogang jumped into the minefield.
"Shut up!"
A chilling, murderous cry rang out, and Bibi Dong's trembling stopped. A tangible black aura surged from behind her.
She raised her head with a ferocious expression, the spider phantom on her face shimmering with a ghostly purple light, her demeanor like a demon crawling out of hell. She grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the neck and lifted him up.
"What do you know? Anyone can say things like that, but you're the only one who shouldn't say them, do you understand?"
She tightened her grip on Yu Xiaogang's neck.
The suffocating feeling and the aura of death finally brought Yu Xiaogang back to his senses. He tried to pry Bibi Dong's hands off with both hands, but to no avail.
His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Bibi Dong person. Only in fear did he realize what Bibi Dong had just said.
"Xiao Gang."
Seeing the fear in his eyes, Bibi Dong seemed to regain her senses slightly and finally let go, allowing him to fall back to the ground.
Yu Xiaogang fell to the ground, but quickly braced himself with his hands and backed away, wanting only to get away from Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's outstretched hand, which she was about to pull him up, froze in mid-air.
Her face displayed expressions of hatred, regret, and pity, each like a mask, changing rapidly and terrifyingly. This caused Yu Xiaogang to retreat even faster until he hit the corner of the wall. Even then, he was still trembling violently, his teeth chattering, the sound echoing crisply in the silent room.
In Yu Xiaogang's despairing gaze, Bibi Dong's expression froze. If he wasn't mistaken, people generally call this expression "gentle."
However, the solidified black aura behind her had become even deeper.
"Xiaogang, believe me, I won't let anyone hurt you. Just wait a little longer, just a little longer."
"I will remember all those who slander you, and then I will kill them all. How about that? No one will be able to hurt you."
"Then, I can stay with you forever, and no one will be able to stop us..."
As Yu Xiaogang's eyes grew increasingly terrified, Bibi Dong smiled and told him about a bright future.
