Bibi Dong, You Have No Right!

Bibi Dong, You Have No Right!

Take him down?

He actually dared to make a move just like that?

Yu Xiaogang's eyes bulged in disbelief as he stared at Qian Renyu. The words ringing in his ears were more terrifying than thunderclaps.

"I'm also an elder of Spirit Hall!"

"I've made more than enough contributions to Spirit Hall!"

"You can't treat me like this!"

Yu Xiaogang roared.

He knew better than most what Yue Guan and Gui Mei were capable of.

With two Titled Douluo making a move, there was no way he could escape the Pope's Palace.

Even if he somehow managed to get out, he'd never make it out of Spirit City!

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were incredibly fast. When dealing with other people, they tended to be timid and hesitant—that was simply their nature.

But neither of them felt that way about Yu Xiaogang.

He was nothing but a good-for-nothing who hadn't even reached level thirty. They felt no pressure at all.

"Quiet down!"

"How dare you, Yu Xiaogang, shout and carry on in the Pope's Palace!"

Yue Guan grabbed one of Yu Xiaogang's arms, while Gui Mei restrained the other.

They treated him like a criminal, showing him no courtesy whatsoever.

"I'm not shouting and carrying on! I have an important matter to discuss with Bibi Dong. Let go of me!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice grew hoarse as he snarled, trying to look fierce.

His arms were twisted behind him. Pain coursed through his limbs, and beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Even so, Yu Xiaogang still refused to reveal why he wanted to see Bibi Dong. He was set on saying nothing until he saw her.

"Your Holiness, Yu Xiaogang is under control. What should we do next?" Yue Guan asked quietly.

Qian Renyu waved a hand and walked over to Yu Xiaogang, whose face was now twisted in a grimace.

After watching him for a while, Qian Renyu found himself almost admiring Yu Xiaogang. Not everyone could take shamelessness to such an extreme.

Qian Renyu couldn't help recalling something he'd once heard: if you wanted to fool others, you first had to fool yourself.

Yu Xiaogang had clearly reached that point. He'd never admitted the truth—that he was a good-for-nothing—and though his actions were anything but honorable, he truly believed himself to be a "master renowned throughout the world."

"Judging by your expression, you're still not convinced?"

"Your so-called contributions amount to plagiarizing all those texts from Spirit Hall and cobbling them together into your so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls?"

"If you've contributed so much, why did you come to Spirit City early today? Did you think no one knew you wanted to see Bibi Dong—that you wanted to get the secrets of Twin Martial Souls out of her?"

"Do you, Yu Xiaogang, think you're the only clever person in the world?"

Qian Renyu spoke as if to himself, watching Yu Xiaogang with amusement as he stubbornly pretended to be here on legitimate business.

Every word struck at the secrets Yu Xiaogang didn't want exposed.

Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly paled. He stared at Qian Renyu in disbelief, unable to accept that Qian Renyu knew the real reason he'd come.

He was certain that even if he managed to see Bibi Dong, she wouldn't know his true purpose unless he told her himself.

He'd been struggling to break free from Yue Guan and Gui Mei, but now his strength suddenly ebbed, and his confidence deserted him.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei stared at Yu Xiaogang in shock, their eyes wide with astonishment.

"Your Holiness, are you saying Yu Xiaogang came to Spirit City for the secrets of Twin Martial Souls?" Yue Guan asked.

Qian Renyu nodded. "Aside from the secrets of Twin Martial Souls, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have dared come to Spirit City early."

"His disciple, Tang San, is the third person in a hundred years to possess Twin Martial Souls. His First Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and his Second Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer."

"He claims there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. But he only took Tang San as a disciple because his so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls led him to guess that Tang San's Second Martial Soul was extraordinary."

"Do you really think he came to our Spirit City for an innocent reason?"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei drew in a deep breath.

The secrets of Twin Martial Souls were among Spirit Hall's most closely guarded secrets.

Throughout history, every person with Twin Martial Souls who truly mastered both had become one of the top Soul Masters on Douluo Continent.

Bibi Dong, the former Pope, was living proof.

They'd looked down on Yu Xiaogang before, but hadn't felt much hostility toward him. After hearing Qian Renyu's words, Yue Guan and Gui Mei tightened their grips considerably.

Yu Xiaogang's face twisted even more fiercely. He had no way to struggle free of them and could only gasp for breath again and again.

How does Qian Renyu know my real purpose? Where did he hear about it?

Not many people know that Xiao San has Twin Martial Souls!

No, I have to find a way out of here. I'll just have to find another chance to see Bibi Dong.

One thought after another raced through Yu Xiaogang's mind.

Then he saw someone approaching from beyond the doors of the Pope's Palace. A sharp gleam filled his eyes, and he secretly rejoiced.

Bibi Dong walked into the Pope's Palace. Though she'd already stepped down as Pope, she still wore the same robes she'd always worn as its leader.

"Yu Xiaogang came to see me."

"I'm taking him with me."

Bibi Dong hadn't yet reached Yu Xiaogang, but her cool voice had already rung through the Pope's Palace.

Her tone was calm, yet brooked no defiance.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately released Yu Xiaogang, cowed by the fear that Bibi Dong had once inspired in them.

Qian Renyu shot Yue Guan and Gui Mei a glance, then turned his indifferent gaze to Bibi Dong.

"I wield the authority of Spirit Hall and am carrying out the duties of the Pope!"

"Bibi Dong, you've overstepped. You have no right to meddle in Spirit Hall's affairs anymore!"

Qian Renyu replied coolly. Though Yue Guan and Gui Mei had let go of Yu Xiaogang, Qian Renyu's Soul Power still enveloped him, keeping him immobile. He was hunched over even more than before.

Bibi Dong's expression grew colder. She gave a cold snort. "I said he came to see me. I'm taking him with me!"

"Move aside!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong reached for Yu Xiaogang's shoulder, intending to take him away by force.

Yu Xiaogang's delight intensified. He was already imagining Bibi Dong taking him away unharmed.

Even if he still couldn't get the secrets of Twin Martial Souls, at least he wouldn't have to endure Qian Renyu's pressure here.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was thinking this over, someone suddenly seized Bibi Dong by the wrist. Qian Renyu had appeared in front of her.

Qian Renyu held her wrist firmly, then spoke in a voice full of domineering authority:

"Bibi Dong, I told you—"

"You have no right anymore!"
