Exposure: Qian Xunji's Secret Chamber and Bibi Dong! Yu Xiaogang's Heartbroken Cry: Dong'er, Why Didn't You Tell Me?

On the Ranking Screen, the purple mist in the image dispersed, revealing the younger Yu Xiaogang.

He wore plain cloth robes. Though his face was somewhat gaunt, his eyes carried an air of self-important arrogance.

In the image, the young Bibi Dong looked at him with admiration as she listened to his grand theories.

[At twenty years old, Saintess Bibi Dong fell deeply in love and wished to elope with Yu Xiaogang. She even formally requested to leave Wuhun Hall from Pope Qian Xunji.]

The words flashed across the Ranking Screen, instantly igniting fresh discussion throughout the continent.

"Heavens, the Saintess with twin martial souls really wanted to elope with a mere Grand Soul Master?"

"What kind of charm did Yu Xiaogang have?

How could he captivate the future pope like this?"

"Leaving Wuhun Hall... wasn't that betrayal?

How many resources did Wuhun Hall spend raising her?"

Within Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang looked at his younger self on the Ranking Screen. A trace of nostalgia and self-satisfaction flashed through his eyes. Standing with his hands behind his back, he sighed.

"Dong'er was pure-hearted back then. What she valued was never soul power or status, but the wisdom and theories in my mind.

We once swore to shatter the prejudices of the soul master world. It was just a pity..."

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with deep admiration in his eyes.

"Teacher, the fact that Mistress chose you back then proves that she truly had good judgment.

Your Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls were priceless treasures to begin with."

"Priceless treasures?"

Dai Mubai could not help sneering. He interrupted the warm moment between master and disciple.

"Master, I'm afraid your theories borrowed quite a bit from Wuhun Hall's library back then, didn't they?

No wonder the former pope of Wuhun Hall went mad. The golden phoenix he had raised himself

was about to carry off every secret in the nest along with herself for an outsider."

Yu Xiaogang's expression abruptly changed. Embarrassed and angered, he flicked his sleeve.

"Mubai!

What do you know!

Knowledge belongs to all humanity. I merely organized it systematically for the benefit of the world!"

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.

Qian Renxue looked at Yu Xiaogang's pretentious appearance on the Ranking Screen, and her stomach churned so violently that she nearly vomited.

"This was the man she loved so desperately?

A coward who couldn't even break through Rank 30?"

Snake Spear Douluo lowered his head.

"Young Mistress, Yu Xiaogang was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan back then. If he had not latched onto the Saintess, he would not even have been qualified to enter Wuhun Hall's secret library.

His Holiness the Pope back then... truly had his judgment clouded."

Qian Renxue laughed at herself, her eyes filled with absurdity.

"I always thought my mother was a ruthless and deeply calculating tyrant.

But now the Ranking Screen was telling me that when she was young, she was actually a fool willing to live or die for trash like this, even betray her own faction?

Father stopping her back then practically saved her life!"

Inside the Consecration Hall.

Qian Daoliu looked at the Ranking Screen, and an extremely contemptuous curve formed at the corner of his lips.

"Second Brother, did you see it?

This was the so-called true love."

Golden Crocodile Douluo spat and roared angrily.

"Bah!

What a disgrace to Wuhun Hall!

Yu Xiaogang kept claiming he wanted none of Wuhun Hall's resources, yet the clothes on his body and the research materials in his hands—which of them had not been secretly taken from the library by Bibi Dong using the Saintess's privileges?

He put on an air of lofty integrity while sucking Wuhun Hall dry. He was utterly shameless!"

"What was even more laughable was that when Xunji spoke with him back then, he did not dare say a single word of resistance and fled Wuhun City overnight."

A cold murderous intent flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

"Had it not been for the sake of that old fossil from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a coward like him would never have left Wuhun City alive.

Yet Bibi Dong still thought that Xunji had torn apart her happiness."

Inside the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong stared fixedly at the Ranking Screen, her breathing as heavy as a bellows.

She heard the discussions of the world, and she heard their mockery of her youthful ignorance.

"Yu Xiaogang..."

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her voice trembling.

She hated Qian Xunji, but at that moment, as she watched the man on the Ranking Screen spout theory after theory, only to cowardly shrink back when faced with a choice,

a deep sense of shame and regret rose in her heart.

Yue Guan did not even dare breathe. He could sense the soul power within the empress surging wildly out of control.

The terrifying pressure of Rank 98 caused cracks to spread across the floor of the Papal Hall.

The image on the Ranking Screen changed once more at that moment.

The tranquil library scene vanished, replaced by the heavy, gloomy door of a secret chamber deep within the Papal Hall.

At twenty-two, on the eve of Bibi Dong's attempted elopement with Yu Xiaogang, Pope Qian Xunji summoned her into his secret chamber.]

In the image, Qian Xunji's face was no longer gentle. It was filled instead with twisted rage and possessiveness.

He stared fixedly at Bibi Dong before him, his voice low and crazed.

"You want to leave with him?

You belong to Wuhun Hall in life, and you will be Wuhun Hall's ghost in death!

Since I cannot keep your heart, then I will use the most primitive method to ensure that you can never leave Wuhun Hall!"

The secret chamber's door slowly closed in the image, swallowing every trace of light.

On the Ranking Screen, the image remained frozen in deathly darkness for a long time.

When the image lit up again, the secret chamber door slowly opened.

The young Bibi Dong lay limp on the cold, damp floor. Her once gorgeous Saintess robes were torn to shreds.

Her eyes were vacant and lifeless, as though she were a puppet that had lost its soul.

Qian Xunji adjusted his slightly disheveled papal robes. Looking down at her from above, his tone was cold without the slightest trace of warmth.

["If you dare die, or dare take even one step out of Wuhun City, that worthless Yu Xiaogang will immediately have his body and soul destroyed."]

"Beast!

That was simply the act of a beast!"

"What do you know?

Bibi Dong was an ungrateful wretch. Since she wanted to run, she naturally had to pay the price!"

"He was a pope standing above all others, yet he actually did such a thing to his own disciple!"

"Bibi Dong deserved it!"

"No wonder... no wonder Bibi Dong became like that afterward. Anyone would have gone mad in her place!"

"Bibi Dong was mentally deranged. She had a perfectly good position as Saintess, yet she insisted on eloping with someone. She absolutely deserved it!"

Across Douluo Continent, some cursed Qian Xunji, while others supported him.

Within Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the Ranking Screen, his face deathly pale. His entire body shook violently, and he nearly lost his footing.

"Dong'er... how could this have happened... Why didn't you tell me back then!"

Yu Xiaogang clutched his hair in agony and roared himself hoarse.

Tang San hurriedly supported him, his eyes filled with shock and killing intent.

"Teacher, so the truth of that year was this cruel.

Wuhun Hall... the Qian Clan, they truly were all sanctimonious hypocrites!"

Dai Mubai watched the out-of-control Yu Xiaogang from the side. He sighed, then spoke coldly.

"Master, even if she had told you back then, what could you have done?

You were only a soul master in your twenties. Would you have gone to fight Qian Xunji to the death?

You probably would have vanished from the world before you could even enter the gates of the Papal Hall."
