The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 175 The brat is troublesome; another papal decree is confiscated.

"This is just my speculation; we need to investigate further to find out the specifics."

Li Xun nodded: "However, before that, I don't want Tang Hao's whereabouts to come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, quite a few Spirit Hall branch halls have been destroyed in recent years."

Qian Renxue frowned upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, and said, "I will go to ask Grandpa for clarification when I have time, but if I find nothing, I hope you will tell me about Tang Hao."

I can assure you, Tang Hao could not possibly know that his information came from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Li Xun nodded perfunctorily, then helped Qian Renxue with some work before taking his leave.

He had achieved his goal for this trip, and he couldn't say more if necessary. After all, it was a tacit understanding between Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, which only Qian Renxue could discover for herself.

Master Xiaogang must have arrived in Wuhun City by now, so let's begin.

As a place that most Soul Masters yearn for, Wuhun City is bustling with people all year round, and many merchants have settled here to do business with Soul Masters.

Based on this economic foundation, the infrastructure here has been excellent in recent years, and the consumption level is relatively higher than in other regions.

However, Yu Xiaogang had no time to notice the changes in Wuhun City. He got off the carriage and headed straight for the Papal Palace.

As the core area of ​​the Spirit Hall, the Papal Palace is also a pilgrimage site for many spirit masters. Due to changes in recent decades, it is no longer just a religious building.

Instead, it has become a more sacred and authoritative central hub, hence the tight security here. To prevent unauthorized personnel from entering, access to the Papal Palace now requires specific authorization.

As Yu Xiaogang approached the entrance to the Papal Palace, he was stopped by the guards who mistook him for a loiterer.

"Halt. Please show your pass or identity token." The guard at the Papal Palace held out his hand to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was not surprised by this. He simply took the papal decree held by Yu Yuanzhen with a cold face, showed it to the guard, and prepared to go in.

The two guards exchanged a glance, then stopped Yu Xiaogang: "Please wait a moment. I have never seen your token before and need to verify it again."

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, glanced at the two guards with some surprise, and then said arrogantly, "As guards of the Papal Palace, you don't even recognize the Papal Decree. I don't know how you're on duty."

"You don't need to trouble yourself with that, but it's our duty, so please cooperate." The two guards' previously amiable expressions turned serious.

"Go ahead and take a look, but I'm afraid you'll be scared out of your wits." Yu Xiaogang naturally sensed the change in the other party's emotions, snorted coldly, and threw the papal decree over.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's casual attitude, the guard quickly and carefully caught the bag, and then began to examine it with another guard.

After a moment, a guard cautiously approached Yu Xiaogang and said, "This token looks very much like the legendary Papal Decree, but we cannot verify its authenticity, as we have never seen one before. Forgive my intrusion, but may I ask which title you hold from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Blue Lightning Tyrant School?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned upon seeing this, feeling slightly uncomfortable: "Seeing the papal decree is the same as seeing the Pope himself. Why should I reveal my identity to you?"

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang seemed a little angry, the guard quickly smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. You should also consider our duties. To be honest, there have been too many counterfeit tokens over the years. There was even an incident that caused a great disturbance."

"Therefore, we have to act carefully, which is also one of our self-protection measures. After all, if you do anything that harms the Spirit Hall, we will also hold you accountable."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath. He wanted to get angry, but the other party's words were reasonable and well-founded, so he couldn't lash out.

"My name is Yu Xiaogang, and I am the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the current sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect." After saying this, Yu Xiaogang looked somewhat dazed.

He hadn't referred to himself as Yu Yuanzhen's son for many years, but he never expected to be forced to bring it up again today at the gates of Wuhun City.

However, there was no other way, since he couldn't possibly impersonate Ning Fengzhi or Yu Yuanzhen, because that would easily be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble.

"So you are the son of His Majesty Thunder, my apologies for my rudeness." The guard bowed respectfully to the side, then frowned as if he had thought of something: "But I've never heard of you before."

Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened: "Hmph! Because I haven't been active on the mainland these past few years, and besides, you look to be only in your thirties, so it's normal that I don't know you."

The guard nodded in realization: "That makes sense then. But even so, you still need to show me the unique martial soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. That way, I can report back, since your information is incomplete."

"What do you mean? You've been asking me all sorts of questions since just now. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang finally lost control of his long-suppressed anger and pointed at the two guards: "Do you know what this token represents? I warn you, if you cause any more trouble, you will be punished."

"Sir, what do you mean? We were just doing our duty." Facing Yu Xiaogang's fury, the guard remained unfazed and said formally, "Your resistance to proving your identity is highly suspicious. Can't we question you further?"

Yu Xiaogang's anger intensified after being choked by the guard. Just as he was about to say something, an old man walked up to him.

"Hello, please show your token or identification." The guard quickly stopped the old man.

"I am the Cardinal of the Spirit Hall branch in Xingluo Gengxin City, and I have come to report on my duties." After the old man finished speaking, he handed over the token, and then six spirit rings appeared one after another at his feet.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Upon seeing this, the guard quickly bowed, then respectfully returned the token and gestured for the guard to proceed.

Upon seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang's anger faltered, and he stared blankly as the old man entered the Papal Palace.

"You see? It's not that we're intentionally making things difficult for you, but even someone like a cardinal needs to show his identity to get in." The guard coughed lightly. "One token is far from enough."

Yu Xiaogang's face was extremely ugly at this moment. He naturally did not want to reveal his martial soul and soul rings, but now he was blocked at the door. If he could not prove his identity, he could not enter the Papal Palace even with the Papal Decree.

Considering the mistress's personality, if I hadn't asked her about the cultivation method for twin martial souls, she might have tried it even knowing the risks.

Yu Xiaogang slowly closed his eyes, his chest heaving violently. The pig appeared, along with two yellow spirit rings: "I am indeed Yu Yuanzhen's son. You should be able to verify that."

"Level 20?" Not only were the two guards at the entrance stunned, but the guards on duty not far away were also taken aback.

"Sir, it's not that I don't trust you, but your soul power level is clearly inconsistent with the Pope's decree. Although I can't determine whether it's a fake, I can ask my superior."

The guard took back the papal decree: "Please remain here unless absolutely necessary to avoid unnecessary trouble."

After saying this, the guard walked into the Papal Palace.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang withdrew his martial spirit and slowly opened his eyes.

He certainly wouldn't leave. Not only that, he would also tell Bibi Dong about the chaotic situation she caused by randomly stopping people at the entrance of the Spirit Hall when he saw her later.

And it's only been a few years, yet these guards don't even recognize the papal decree anymore; they're utterly corrupt.
