Outside the Papal Hall, Yu Xiaogang happily prepared to leave.
This trip had gone unexpectedly smoothly. He had obtained a Soul Bone from Bibi Dong, so he would be able to give Xiao San an explanation when he returned. Later, he could step in and mend the relationship between Bibi Dong and Xiao San. As long as the two did not become enemies, Xiao San's path to godhood would be secure.
But just as Yu Xiaogang was about to take his final step out of Spirit City—
A hand landed on Yu Xiaogang's shoulder.
"Gangzi, you came to Spirit Hall and didn't even visit your old friends before leaving?"
Yu Xiaogang's delicate body reacted faster than his mind, trembling violently.
Gangzi turned around shakily, only to see Scarface, whom he had not seen in decades, smiling at him.
"Gangzi, I've been waiting for you for nearly twenty years," Scarface said.
Another hand reached into Yu Xiaogang's pocket and pulled out a bloodstained External Soul Bone.
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly looked over. It was a one-eyed man. One-Eye smiled at Yu Xiaogang and said, "A Soul Bone, Gangzi. You've made quite a haul!"
A broad hand pressed down on Buzz Cut's head. Dragon Brother smiled and said, "Gangzi, how could a single Soul Bone compare to our warm-hearted friendship?"
"Y-you... what do you want?" Yu Xiaogang's voice carried a trace of despair.
"What do we want?" Jie Ge stepped forward and took the Soul Bone from One-Eye's hand. "We want to play a game with you. If you clear it, this Soul Bone will be your reward, and you can take it out of Spirit City. If you fail, then you'll just have to sit down and play with us—"
Gangzi was stuffed into a sack and taken away from Spirit City
