Hearing this, Bibi Dong paused, her hand stroking the cup with obsession freezing as if she had heard something grating.
Chu Feng acted as if he hadn't seen it.
"I ask the Pope to give me an explanation!"
"Why would Your Holiness confer the position of Honorary Elder of Martial Soul Hall upon a piece of trash who hasn't even reached level thirty, and why does this trash possess an Elder Token?"
"Please, Your Holiness, explain these things to me!"
After a pause, Chu Feng feigned a look of deep thought.
He then asked a question he already knew the answer to: "I recall that there are currently only nine Elder Tokens in total within Martial Soul Hall.
These nine Elder Tokens belong to Chrysanthemum Douluo Elder Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Elder Gui Mei, Demon Bear Douluo Elder, Ghost Leopard Douluo Elder, Snake Lance Douluo Elder She Long, Pufferfish Douluo Elder Ci Xue, and the three Honorary Elder Tokens issued by Martial Soul Hall to the Upper Three Sects."
"Of those three Honorary Elder Tokens (Pope Tokens) belonging to the Upper Three Sects, two are currently accounted for; they are in the hands of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi.
That piece of trash who hasn't reached level thirty could absolutely not have obtained this Honorary Elder Token from them."
"Among these nine Elder Tokens, aside from the one belonging to the Clear Sky Sect which is unknown, the other eight have detailed records. I wonder if Your Holiness could provide an explanation?"
Chu Feng had said so much all at once that he was practically asking Bibi Dong point-blank if the Honorary Elder Token in Yu Xiaogang's hand came from the Clear Sky Sect.
Even if Yu Xiaogang were not a member of the Clear Sky Sect, he still had countless threads of connection to them.
If not for that, it would be impossible for him to possess a Clear Sky Sect Honorary Elder Token.
Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang had a student with the surname Tang.
A coincidence is a coincidence, but when two coincidences are linked together, it is definitely not accidental.
In whose hands was the Clear Sky Sect's Honorary Elder Token? Naturally, it was in the hands of the then-heir apparent, Tang Hao.
Tang Hao had a Blue Silver Emperor for a wife, and the martial soul of Yu Xiaogang's student was a stalk of Blue Silver Grass.
This was terrifying to think about.
Blue Silver Grass was a well-known trash martial soul, yet Tang San had displayed an astonishing innate full spirit power of level ten.
It was too eerie, too strange!
If two coincidences were not accidental, then adding these four together made one have to ponder the connections within.
"He is not trash!" Bibi Dong had not expected Chu Feng to ask so much all at once; these questions hit the nail on the head, leaving her momentarily unsure of how to respond.
She could only skirt the issue, avoiding the question of where Yu Xiaogang's Honorary Elder Token originated.
Bibi Dong knew very well in her heart.
After excluding all other possibilities, Yu Xiaogang's Honorary Elder Token could only have come from one place.
The disciple surnamed Tang, the genius with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul and innate full spirit power, and the fact that Yu Xiaogang had asked her about the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls.
These things already made his identity clear.
Bibi Dong only needed a little bit of brains to guess Tang San's identity.
Tang San, without any surprises, was the son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.
Tang Hao's wife was the Blue Silver Emperor, therefore Tang San's martial soul was not some Blue Silver Grass.
It was the Blue Silver Emperor, the sovereign among Blue Silver Grass.
Aside from the Blue Silver Emperor, he should also have another martial soul: the Clear Sky Hammer.
The Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer belonged to the same level of martial souls—both were top-tier—so the two could coexist, just like her own Death Spider Emperor and Soul Eater Spider Emperor.
Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls; this explained why he had innate full spirit power of level ten!
Bibi Dong knew this.
But she could not let Chu Feng suspect it, and even less could she let anyone investigate it.
Otherwise, Tang San would be exposed.
If Tang San's identity were exposed, then the charge against Yu Xiaogang for taking the son of the person who killed the Pope of Martial Soul Hall as a student would be confirmed.
At that point, she would not be able to protect him!
Impersonating an Honorary Elder of Martial Soul Hall was enough to get him executed, and if the charge of taking the son of Martial Soul Hall's mortal enemy as a student and grooming him into a life-and-death rival were added on top, he would be doomed.
Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood behind Yu Xiaogang, he would not escape death.
"You have never investigated him, so you do not know how great his contributions are!
If you knew how many Spirit Masters his 'Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls' had benefited, and how many Spirit Masters he had guided toward a path of cultivation, you would certainly not have any objections to him being an Honorary Elder!"
"Although Yu Xiaogang is not a Title Douluo, his theories can create countless Title Douluo for future generations; this is something none of you can compare to!"
Bibi Dong said not a word about where Yu Xiaogang got the Martial Soul Hall Honorary Elder Token.
Clearly, she was dodging the issue.
Chu Feng had intended to use this matter to challenge her, to reclaim his position as the Eighth Elder and kick Yu Xiaogang out of the Honorary Elder position; naturally, he would not let her brush it off so easily.
"Your Holiness, I currently have no interest in knowing whether he is worthy of this Honorary Elder status."
Right now, I only want to know where exactly he got this Honorary Elder Token from.
Excluding all other possibilities, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that the Honorary Elder Token in his hand originated from the Clear Sky Sect!
And as everyone knows, the Honorary Elder Token of the Clear Sky Sect was with Tang Hao, the sect heir at the time.
If his Honorary Elder Token truly came from the Clear Sky Sect, then what is his relationship with this Tang Hao?
Tang Hao killed our former Pope for the sake of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; he is the mortal enemy of our Martial Soul Hall.
Because there has been no trace of him all these years, the matter could only be left unsettled.
Now that we have finally found a lead, it absolutely cannot be left unsettled.
Tang Hao must pay the price for this!
Chu Feng stared at Bibi Dong.
Chu Feng knew that it was Bibi Dong who killed Qian Xunji, and that Tang Hao was merely the scapegoat.
However, it wasn't unjust for him to take the blame; who told him not to come out and admit his mistake all this time!
"Where Yu Xiaogang got the Honorary Elder Token from is not important!
Even if his Honorary Elder Token really came from Tang Hao, so what?
Now that the Honorary Elder Token is in his hands, he is an Honorary Elder of Martial Soul Hall."
Bibi Dong still chose to evade the question.
This was a death trap of a question in the truest sense; she could never allow the charge of Yu Xiaogang taking Tang Hao's Son as a disciple to be confirmed, no matter what.
So what if the Honorary Elder Token really was Tang Hao's? She is the Pope of Martial Soul Hall now, and she is shielding Yu Xiaogang; the final right of interpretation lies with Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang could say this token belongs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or perhaps the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
In any case, it is definitely not from the Clear Sky Sect.
The Clear Sky Sect has already retreated from the world, making it impossible to verify.
Behind Yu Xiaogang is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Ning Rongrong, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, is the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
