You'll Kill Yu Xiaogang for Me

Yueguan had been so direct that Ye Xuan was taken aback.

He'd thought Yue Guan and the others would at least test the waters first.

It seemed they were absolutely confident in their strength.

Last time, Ghost Douluo had come alone. This time, the two of them had come together, so it was only natural they felt confident.

Ye Xuan didn't hurry over to speak. He mainly wanted to see how Flender and the others would respond—and, of course, how Xiao Wu and Tang San would react.

"Who are you? What grudge do we have against you?" Xiao Wu asked.

She knew perfectly well why they had come, but she couldn't just say, I'm a Soul Beast, and I'm going to fight you to the death.

Just then, Tang San stepped in front of her.

He blocked Yue Guan and demanded, "Who are you? Why are you trying to take Xiao Wu?"

"Kid, if you don't want to die, stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong and move aside." As Yue Guan spoke, he flicked his hand, sending Tang San flying down from the upper floor.

After hitting the ground, Tang San spewed blood.

Yue Guan had only flicked his hand, but the gap in their strength was enormous. Even a fraction of Yue Guan's power was more than Tang San could withstand.

Tang San was horrified. He hadn't expected this man to be so unreasonable—and so terrifyingly powerful.

He couldn't accurately gauge his opponent's strength, but he was certain the man was far stronger than Flender and the others.

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo attack Tang San, Yu Xiaogang hurried forward to intervene.

He stepped up and said, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, do you still recognize me?"

"Oh? So Grandmaster is here. What, are you planning to protect this Soul Beast?" Chrysanthemum Douluo replied.

"A Soul Beast?" Yu Xiaogang cried in disbelief. "Chrysanthemum Douluo, you must have made some mistake. Xiao Wu is a student at Shrek Academy. How could she possibly be a Soul Beast?"

Flender hurried over to back him up. "That's right, Chrysanthemum Douluo. How could Xiao Wu be a Soul Beast? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"A Soul Beast? Xiao Wu is a Soul Beast?" Tang San murmured below.

He struggled to his feet, then leaped back upstairs.

By the time he arrived, Yue Guan was already looking at Yu Xiaogang with narrowed eyes. "Everyone calls you Grandmaster. How could you fail to see it? Or did you see it and deliberately pretend you didn't?"

"She's a student at Shrek Academy. I don't care who told you she's a Soul Beast—you will leave. I command you in the name of this token." As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he took out the Pope's Order Tang Hao had given him.

Yue Guan was momentarily stunned when he saw the Pope's Order.

But soon, he burst out laughing.

"Grandmaster, I don't know where you got that Pope's Order, but have you forgotten one thing? It only gives you the authority of a Spirit Hall elder. What, are you trying to use your status as an honorary elder to lord it over me, a real elder?"

Yue Guan's mocking words made Yu Xiaogang's face flush red.

But he knew he couldn't back down now.

He said coldly, "That Pope's Order was issued by Spirit Hall. If you disregard it, are you not defying the Pope's authority?"

"Heh. Defying the Pope's authority? If we've truly done that, we'll answer to the Pope ourselves. But we're taking this Soul Beast with us. Anyone who dares to interfere... will be shown no mercy!"

As Yue Guan spoke, he released a crushing wave of Soul Power toward Flender and the others.

Facing the overwhelming pressure of a Soul Douluo, Flender swiftly activated his Martial Soul. He knew he was no match for Yue Guan, but as the headmaster, he had to stand up now.

Seeing Flender activate his Martial Soul, Yue Guan said with scorn, "With strength like yours, you think you can stop me?"

Just then, Xiao Wu spoke up. "I'll go with you."

Xiao Wu knew all too well the gulf between a Titled Douluo and a Soul Saint.

She blamed her own greed. When Sword Douluo had come here, she should have left.

Sword Douluo's departure had made her think she was safe.

She hadn't expected Spirit Hall to come for her this time.

She couldn't let Flender and the others die because of her.

"A very wise choice," Yue Guan said, his eyes narrowing.

Tang San hurried to block their way.

He struggled to say, "If you want to take Xiao Wu, you'll have to step over my dead body."

But Yu Xiaogang quickly came over and pulled Tang San aside. As he dragged him away, he said, "Xiao San, don't you understand? Someone is trying to harm you both. Are you really willing to die like this? If you do, that person will be laughing with glee."

"Hm?"

At Yu Xiaogang's words, everyone from Shrek Academy froze.

Xiao Wu was also visibly stunned for a moment.

Yue Guan was completely bewildered by the situation.

Someone was trying to harm them?

What was he even talking about?

If they hadn't come here looking for Ye Xuan, they never would have discovered Xiao Wu.

How could this be called a plot to harm them?

But it seemed there was a rift within their group, and Yue Guan began to look forward to seeing how it would unfold.

He no longer felt any need to act. Instead, he watched patiently.

Ghost Douluo could tell Yue Guan was indulging his taste for watching the drama unfold again.

But Ghost Douluo was confident in their strength, so he wasn't in a hurry either.

Seeing everyone hesitate, Yu Xiaogang continued, "Let me ask you: which of us is familiar with Spirit Hall? Why would two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall come here? If no one had tipped them off, how would they have known?"

At that, everyone naturally looked at Ye Xuan.

After all, his people lived at Spirit Hall, and Ye Xuan was powerful enough that he must have seen through Xiao Wu's true identity long ago.

But Zhu Zhuqing flew into a rage.

She glared coldly at Yu Xiaogang and cursed him without the slightest restraint. "Yu Xiaogang, have you no shame? If Brother Ye wanted to harm you, would he need Spirit Hall to do it for him? Do you think you're that important?"

"Heh. Why don't we let Ye Xuan speak for himself?" Yu Xiaogang had apparently reached the point where he no longer cared what anyone thought.

He had already made his accusation. Whether it was true or not, all he could do now was double down.

Ghost Douluo also looked toward Ye Xuan with interest.

He smiled and said, "Young Master Ye, it seems these people don't welcome you. Why not come back to Spirit Hall with us?"

Ghost Douluo's friendly greeting only made the people from Shrek Academy more suspicious that Ye Xuan really had informed Spirit Hall.

"They certainly don't welcome me. I'll go to Spirit Hall, but not yet," Ye Xuan said.

"Not now? Is there something you still need to take care of here, Young Master Ye? Would you like us to help?" Ghost Douluo asked.

"There's nothing left unfinished. But if Ghost Douluo is willing to do me a favor, there is one thing you could do. How about you kill Yu Xiaogang for me?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.
