Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 146 The Tragic Story of Yu Xiaogang

"Halt!"

As Yu Xiaogang approached the Papal Palace, a squad of paladin knights blocked his path. The two leading knights were Cardinals Jin Cang and Qian Gu Changrong, who had received instructions from Qian Renxue and had been waiting there for three days.

Yu Xiaogang's buzz cut was a rather conspicuous feature, and coupled with his level 29 soul power fluctuations, Jin Cang and Qian Gu Changrong's eyes lit up, thinking that this guy must be the person Qian Renxue had asked them to wait for. After all, normally a soul master of that age who was only level 30 would only dare to gaze at the Papal Palace from afar, let alone dare to get that close.

"This is forbidden territory. Take another step closer and you will be killed without mercy."

Jin Cang and Qian Gu Changrong walked up to Yu Xiaogang, their cold gazes scrutinizing the unremarkable man from head to toe.

Yu Xiaogang feigned profundity, raised his hand, revealed the papal decree that Tang Hao had given him, and said calmly, "Take me to see the Pope."

As soon as the papal decree was issued, Jin Cang and Qian Gu Chang Rong exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, thus confirming his identity.

Jin Cang reached out and sucked, and the papal decree that Yu Xiaogang was holding appeared in his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed, and he glared at Jin Cang, saying, "Quickly return my papal decree, or else I'll make you regret it when I see His Holiness the Pope!"

"Your papal decree?"

Jin Cang sneered, "This Papal Decree is the highest symbol of honor for our Spirit Hall. Its holders are all renowned powerhouses across the continent. You, a mere level 29 trash, dare to presume? I think this is clearly a forgery!"

Qian Gu Chang Rong immediately chimed in, "Forging a papal decree? How dare they! Guards, seize this madman!"

The paladins behind the two stepped forward without hesitation, their sharp spears already pressed against Yu Xiaogang's neck.

"How dare you! You have such audacity!"

A flicker of panic crossed Yu Xiaogang's eyes, but he forced a stern expression and said, "How dare you question this master! I am an honorary elder of your Spirit Hall. Take me to see the Pope immediately; she can verify my identity!"

Snapped!

Qian Gu Chang Rong shook his hand and said with a look of disgust, "The Pope is busy with countless affairs of state, how could he have time to see a piece of trash like you?"

"What are you still standing there for?"

Jin Cang glared at the two paladin knights on either side and said sternly, "Are you just going to stand by and watch this piece of trash yell and disturb the peace of the Papal Palace? Drag this piece of trash away right now!"

"Yes, yes, yes!!!"

The palace guards on both sides seemed to wake from a dream, and rushed towards Yu Xiaogang, pinning him down and dragging him out.

"Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong!"

Yu Xiaogang panicked now, disregarding his so-called master's dignity, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I am Yu Xiaogang, Xiaogang has come to find you, Bibi Dong!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Yu Xiaogang's posture only earned him a brutal beating from the temple knights. The shafts of several spears mercilessly slapped Yu Xiaogang's mouth, which was filled with blood, and knocked out two of his front teeth.

Even so, Yu Xiaogang still didn't stop his babbling, calling out Bibi Dong's name with each increasingly mournful cry.

"Knock him out! Don't let him continue to embarrass himself in front of the Pope's Palace and become a laughingstock!"

Jin Cang and Qian Gu Chang Rong were afraid that making too much noise would alert Bibi Dong, so they immediately gave orders to their subordinates.

Several temple knights immediately gathered their soul power and struck Yu Xiaogang on the back with all their might through their spears.

These temple knights all possessed soul power of level 50 or above. How long could Yu Xiaogang, a level 29 Great Soul Master, withstand them? After taking a few blows, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Sir, what should we do with this fellow!"

Several temple knights questioned Jin Cang and Qian Gu Chang Rong Dao.

Killing him is definitely out of the question. If Yu Xiaogang were to die, Bibi Dong, that mental patient, would surely go insane. So before his envoy set off, Xiao Yu repeatedly instructed him to make it clear to Qian Renxue's people that it was okay to mess with Yu Xiaogang, but they absolutely must not cause any deaths.

Jin Cang and Qian Gu Changrong strictly followed orders, waving their hands and saying, "Break this guy's limbs and throw him out of Wuhun City to fend for himself!"

"what!"

Several paladin knights dragged Yu Xiaogang aside and together broke his limbs. Yu Xiaogang, who was unconscious, was awakened by the excruciating pain and let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

However, no one sympathized with Yu Xiaogang. Everyone had clearly heard that this guy dared to forge the papal decree and impersonate an honorary elder, shouting and yelling in front of the sacred papal palace without any respect.

The soul masters in Wuhun City, apart from a very few spies sent by hostile forces, mostly genuinely respected the Spirit Hall as a holy land of the soul master world. It was quite remarkable that they didn't go up and finish off Yu Xiaogang at this moment.

Poor Yu Xiaogang had his limbs broken by the Spirit Hall's guardian knights and was thrown out of Spirit City like trash. Because of his disrespect for the Spirit Hall, no one was willing to treat him. Poor Yu Xiaogang could only lie paralyzed on the roadside like a dead dog, unable to move at all.

Bibi Dong, as the Pope, was extremely busy and genuinely did not know that Yu Xiaogang had ever come here. The people below her only regarded Yu Xiaogang, this level 29 good-for-nothing, as a charlatan who was trying to swindle people, and did not report the matter to higher authorities.

Furthermore, the plan to ambush and kill Xiao Yu from the Tian Dou competition team failed, and one of the five elders sent out was killed in battle. The four who escaped were also seriously injured to varying degrees. The strength displayed by the Nine Star Palace made Bibi Dong feel a serious crisis, so she had no interest in paying attention to other things.

Fortunately, within two days, the Soul Master Academy team from the Heaven Dou Empire arrived in Wuhun City. Knowing where Yu Xiaogang was, Flander and Liu Erlong, seeing that Yu Xiaogang had not yet come to meet them, hurriedly started looking for him in Wuhun City. Finally, they found the dying Yu Xiaogang by the roadside.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's miserable state, Liu Erlong was furious and wished she could rush into the Papal Palace and tear the slut Bibi Dong she had been talking about to pieces.

Although Flander was also furious about Yu Xiaogang's situation, he wasn't like Liu Erlong, whose IQ was practically zero due to love. He managed to retain some rationality and stopped Liu Erlong before she rushed into the street and started shouting.

Disrespecting the Pope at the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, even just a few words, will attract the attention of countless Soul Masters. Even if they possess the cultivation of a Soul Saint and have a Spirit Fusion Technique, they will most likely meet a violent end.

As for Tang San, he already knew about the feud between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall from Ning Fengzhi and Titan. Seeing Yu Xiaogang in such a miserable state now undoubtedly added another blood debt to his heart for the Spirit Hall. He secretly vowed that he would definitely overthrow the Spirit Hall in the future and avenge his loved ones.
