Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 407 An unexpected encounter with Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang arguing

Xue Di sensed that things weren't so simple, but seeing that Shi Yu didn't want to say more, she didn't press him further.

Shi Yu granted Xue Di access to this place, so that she could enter smoothly whenever she wanted.

"If I want to find you, how can I find you?" Xue Di asked as they parted.

"That depends on fate," Shi Yu said vaguely.

They left quite decisively, disappearing from Xue Di in the blink of an eye.

Xue Di looked surprised; Shi Yu's sudden disappearance had caught her completely off guard.

"Such powerful spatial abilities!" Xue Di exclaimed in surprise.

The difference in strength between her and the other party should be quite significant; normally, she shouldn't have been completely unaware of his departure.

They were also extremely curious about Shi Yu's identity, but after thinking about it for a while, they couldn't figure it out, so they started to fill in the gaps in their understanding.

It's necessary to fill in such a big hole; she doesn't want other soul beasts to discover this, which will definitely lead them to the temple space at the bottom.

Shi Yu headed north and soon left the far north region, arriving in the airspace above the sea more than 500 kilometers away from the far north.

Here I saw my four god-level mechs.

After checking and confirming that the four god-level mechs had not suffered any serious damage, I felt relieved.

"I wonder if Bibi Dong has obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring."

Shi Yu put away the mecha and used the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd to tear through space and travel, arriving near Wuhun City in just over a minute.

They landed on the ground and headed towards Wuhun City, but were stopped at the city gate.

The Wuhun City is strictly controlled, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the city.

Shi Yu took out the papal token that Bibi Dong had given him earlier.

"Greetings, Elder." Upon seeing the token, the Spirit Hall Soul Master at the city gate immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully greeted him.

"I want to see the Pope," Shi Yu stated his purpose.

"Elder, please follow me." The Soul Master in charge led the way.

This is a Soul Saint-level Soul Master, someone who would be highly regarded by other forces in this era.

For example, Flander and Zhao Wuji from Shrek Academy at the very beginning were able to achieve considerable social status based on their Soul Saint cultivation.

If this person went to some college, they could definitely become a top-level teacher, or even a department head.

In Wuhun City, where there are many powerful Soul Masters, Soul Saint-level Soul Masters should also have a high status, but they would inevitably become commanders at the city gates.

To put it bluntly, it's inevitable that I'll end up guarding the gate here.

Shi Yu followed the Soul Saint into the Spirit City.

Last time he was chased and forced to flee by Bibi Dong, but this time he was treated very well; the difference in treatment was truly like night and day.

"Does the Spirit Hall have any major events planned recently?"

Seeing that some kind of preparation was being made in the city, Shi Yu couldn't help but ask a question.

"Reporting to the elder, the Soul Master Competition finals will begin in half a month, and the venue will be in Wuhun City. All these arrangements are for the competition," the Soul Saint Commander said respectfully.

The token held by Shi Yu has extremely high authority, theoretically equivalent to the Pope himself, so he will respond to any questions asked.

"The Soul Master Competition?" Shi Yu thought of some things related to the Soul Master Competition.

Because he changed some things, the Spirit Hall probably didn't send anyone to assassinate Tang San this time.

"Which colleges have advanced to the finals?" Shi Yu asked casually.

This Soul Saint Commander knew quite a lot, listing all thirty teams that had advanced from the two empires, plus one direct-entry team from each. Shi Yu heard many familiar academy names, though their rankings had changed; some had improved, while others had declined.

Shrek Academy is much worse off than it was in the original story.

The journey was smooth and we arrived at the Papal Palace without any obstacles.

"Please wait a moment while I go and report." Seeing that the Papal Palace doors were closed, the Soul Saint Commander asked Shi Yu to wait.

"Don't go." Shi Yu placed his hand on the Soul Saint Commander's shoulder, kindly reminding him.

"Why?" The Soul Saint Commander looked at him in confusion.

“If you knock on the door now, you’ll definitely get yelled at. You should go back first. There should be someone else here to contact me, so there’s no need to trouble you,” Shi Yu said.

"Then I'll take my leave." The Soul Saint Commander still didn't understand, but he didn't linger and left.

Shi Yu stood in the square in front of the palace, looking at the Papal Palace with great interest. The doors were closed, so he couldn't see what was going on inside.

But his spatial perception gave him some information: a scene of lovers reuniting was unfolding inside.

"My luck really isn't very good."

Shi Yu muttered to himself, "I really didn't want to be here at this time."

Inside, a middle-aged man was talking to Bibi Dong, and both of them seemed a little agitated.

He didn't know Yu Xiaogang and had never met him before, but he could deduce the middle-aged man's identity from Bibi Dong's emotions.

In his eyes, there were only two men who could evoke such strong emotions in Bibi Dong.

One is Qian Xunji. If Qian Xunji were to be resurrected, Bibi Dong would definitely go berserk and kill him, and she would have no control over her emotions.

Then there's Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong's first love. However, they were separated by others, preventing them from being together. This sense of regret makes Bibi Dong particularly fond of Yu Xiaogang.

The reason why Bibi Dong still cares about Yu Xiaogang after all these years is probably because of the unrequited love she had years ago.

If it weren't for this obsession, she might not have continued to like Yu Xiaogang.

The people inside were quite loud, and there was a clear argument, which made the temple guards outside look at each other, unsure whether they should rush in.

The Pope had previously decreed that no one was allowed to enter without her orders, and anyone who dared to trespass might lose their life.

A commander of the Temple Knights approached Shi Yu.

Shi Yu directly presented his papal decree.

"Greetings, Elder." The commander of the temple guards quickly bowed.

He wondered why so many elders had come with their tokens today. There hadn't been any before, but now he had seen two on the same day.

However, the token this person held was of a higher level and possessed actual power.

The papal decree is divided into honorary and actual power. The token held by the person in the hall is actually an honorary papal decree and he is not qualified to mobilize the power of the Spirit Hall with it.

And the token in this person's hand has this right.

"I want to see the Pope, but there's no rush. Let's wait until the people inside leave," Shi Yu said.

At this moment, I don't want to provoke Bibi Dong.

The commander of the Temple Knights nodded slightly and respectfully stood beside Shi Yu.

A few minutes later, Yu Xiaogang slammed the door and left, looking very angry with a stern face.

Many of the paladin knights looked at him with hostility. How dare this man argue with the Pope in the Papal Palace?
If it weren't for the papal decree he possessed and the pope's leniency towards him, without threatening him, they would likely have ganged up on him, defying the pope and still hoping to leave alive.
