Chapter: The Murderous Intent of Qian Renyu, Taking Down Yu Xiaogang
A small courtyard behind the Pope's Palace.
Qian Renyu sat cross-legged within the courtyard, the phantom of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter flickering in and out of existence behind him.
Suddenly, Qian Renyu snapped his eyes open.
Within his pupils, a cold and sharp gaze was directed toward the courtyard gate.
Yue Guan happened to be walking in from outside, and seeing Qian Renyu looking at him, his footsteps couldn't help but falter for a split second.
"Your Excellency, Yu Xiaogang is using an Elder Token to request an audience with you in his capacity as an honorary elder," Yue Guan reported with a bow.
Qian Renyu stood up: "Bring him to the Pope's Palace; I shall arrive shortly!"
Yue Guan received the order and departed.
Qian Renyu watched Yue Guan leave, the name "Yu Xiaogang" still echoing in his ears.
I thought I would need a few more days, but it seems he arrived sooner than expected. It appears I will have to clash with her earlier than planned.
However, since this conflict is inevitable anyway, it doesn't matter if it happens a few days sooner or later.
The matter regarding Yu Xiaogang must be dealt with!
A cold light erupted in Qian Renyu's eyes. The idea of abandoning his agenda against Yu Xiaogang simply because of Bibi Dong had never once crossed his mind.
To hold a position is to fulfill its duties.
Allowing a piece of trash like Yu Xiaogang to continue occupying the position of honorary elder did not align with his governing philosophy.
Having set his course, Qian Renyu walked straight toward the Pope's Palace.
Inside the Pope's Palace.
Yu Xiaogang was brought inside.
Standing within the hall and looking at the empty papal throne, his breathing gradually slowed.
I will be able to see Bibi Dong soon. I hope I can get my hands on the secret of the Twin Martial Souls!
But if Bibi Dong is unwilling to give it up, then I might need to think of some other...
Before he could finish the word "methods," Yu Xiaogang suddenly noticed Qian Renyu walking in from outside the hall.
Qian Renyu ignored Yu Xiaogang's surprised gaze and walked straight to the papal throne to sit down.
Looking down from above at the still-stunned Yu Xiaogang, he scrutinized him without saying a word.
I came to pay respects to the current Pope, to see Bibi Dong. What is going on here?
Yu Xiaogang looked at Yue Guan beside him in disbelief, his words carrying a tone of interrogation.
His entire demeanor suggested he didn't view himself as a piece of trash who hadn't even reached level thirty, showing little respect even toward a Title Douluo like Yue Guan.
Yue Guan glanced coldly at Yu Xiaogang and said icily: "His Excellency Qian Renyu succeeded to the position of Pope several days ago. As of now, Martial Soul Hall bows to Qian Renyu!"
"You wished to see the Pope; His Excellency Qian Renyu is already sitting here. Whatever you have to say, just say it!"
What am I supposed to say?
I came to see Bibi Dong, and the words I have are meant for Bibi Dong!
Yu Xiaogang roared internally. While feeling depressed, he looked up at Qian Renyu sitting on the papal throne.
If it were Bibi Dong, I might have a high chance of obtaining the secret of the Twin Martial Souls.
But this Qian Renyu, he managed to take the position of Pope without a sound, and he looks like someone who is very difficult to deal with.
Asking him for the secret of the Twin Martial Souls is definitely unrealistic. If I state such a purpose directly, it will be a question of whether I can even leave Martial Soul Hall alive!
Yu Xiaogang calculated silently. As he sorted these thoughts out, his body involuntarily straightened up quite a bit.
Qian Renyu watched Yu Xiaogang's current state with interest, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"Yu Xiaogang, since you requested an audience with me in your capacity as an honorary elder."
"Now that I am sitting here, what matter do you have to report to me?!"
Qian Renyu asked indifferently.
His cold, sharp gaze scrutinized Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, stiffened his neck, and said: "I came to request an audience with Pope Bibi Dong. Since the Pope has changed."
"Then this elder will take his leave. I will seek out the previous Pope separately to discuss the matter I came to handle!"
Hiss--
Yue Guan gasped.
Hearing such words from Yu Xiaogang, he looked at him as if he were a monster, his eyes involuntarily revealing a look of horror.
Is this Yu Xiaogang really this brave?
Qian Renyu took this position by forcing the palace; he is a ruthless man through and through!
To say such things in front of such a ruthless person is clearly not intending to give Qian Renyu any face at all.
Even true elders like them wouldn't dare to show such disrespect to Qian Renyu, yet Yu Xiaogang, a mere honorary elder, actually dared to utter such words.
He was truly courting death, tired of living!
"It seems that although you, Yu Xiaogang, hold the title of honorary elder in our Martial Soul Hall, you possess no sense of belonging to us in your heart!"
"In your eyes, only Bibi Dong is the Pope of Martial Soul Hall. Now that I have ascended to the throne, it appears you have no intention of acknowledging me as your Pope!"
Qian Renyu whispered indifferently.
He slowly stood up from his throne.
Already positioned on the dais, his rise caused the aura of a Titled Douluo to gradually emanate from his body.
In an instant, the Pope's Palace was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei felt their scalps tingle; sensing the icy aura radiating from Qian Renyu, both were struck with terror on the spot.
Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale; with strength not even reaching level 30, he lacked the capital to withstand the pressure of a Titled Douluo's aura.
Despite feeling the power erupting from Qian Renyu, he maintained his defiant expression.
Yu Xiaogang simply did not believe that, as a dignified honorary elder in the majestic setting of the Pope's Palace, Qian Renyu would dare to lay a hand on him in his capacity as Pope.
Just as this thought flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind, Qian Renyu's cold gaze had already fallen upon Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei!"
"Your subordinates are here!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei bowed in unison.
Beside their ears, Qian Renyu's words rang out like a thunderclap.
Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes slightly, a sense of foreboding beginning to erupt within him.
Damn it, does this guy named Qian Renyu actually intend to take action against me inside the Pope's Palace?
Since he has taken the seat of Pope, does he not know that my status as an honorary elder was granted to me by Bibi Dong?
A newly appointed Pope, having only been in power for a few days, is already planning to purge the people of the previous Pope?
Yu Xiaogang's breath caught in his throat, his mind filled only with the urge to turn and flee, yet his legs felt as heavy as lead, unable to move even an inch.
Ignoring Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Qian Renyu, having received the acknowledgment from Yue Guan and Gui Mei, allowed a cold, sharp killing intent to flash in his eyes before speaking once more:
"Yu Xiaogang, as an honorary elder of our Martial Soul Hall, has shown arrogance and disregarded the words of his superior!"
"Seize Yu Xiaogang for me!!"
