The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 182 Shameless

This waiting continued until midnight, until they could no longer endure it and finally gave up.

Could it be that he really was lying to me?

Yu Xiaogang was filled with deep doubt. Thinking of the ten gold soul coins he had left, and glancing at Xunyang Tower behind him, he felt a surge of anger rising within him: "Wait one more day."

After paying the bribe, Yu Xiaogang never saw the young guard again.

Even if he asked the newly relieved guards, they would ask for his name, but how would he know their names?

Yu Xiaogang endured two more days of torment, caught between doubt and a sliver of hope, before finally succumbing to deep disappointment and anger. He then hired a simple carriage and left Wuhun City.

However, just three days after Yu Xiaogang left, Bibi Dong, who was in the Papal Palace, suddenly received a report from below that someone wanted to see her and claimed to be an old acquaintance of hers.

Bibi Dong, who was lounging in her chair, frowned, then suddenly looked at the newcomer: "Are you sure the person here is named Yu Xiaogang?"

The cardinal bowed slightly: "Yes, Your Majesty. When that person came, he was carrying a papal decree from our Spirit Hall. However, the guards said that his soul power level was extremely low, which did not match the holder's, so they confiscated it."

"Nobody took that person seriously at first, but who knew he would wait at the door for many days. When I found out, I felt that things might not be so simple, so I came to report to you."

"His soul power level is extremely low? That's it then." Bibi Dong frowned, her fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest. "Have someone bring him here."

After so many years, when she was about to see Yu Xiaogang again, she didn't know how she felt. In an instant, Bibi Dong thought of many things, mostly the time she spent with Yu Xiaogang and the years after Qian Xunji intervened.

Bibi Dong quickly cleared her mind: "Given Xiao Gang's personality, there's no way he would come looking for me unless something's wrong, especially since he has the Pope's decree."

The only papal decree that Yu Xiaogang could access was the one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. But given his conflict with his family, how could he have obtained Yu Yuanzhen's token?

Just as Bibi Dong was pondering Yu Xiaogang's intentions, the cardinal from before rushed back: "Your Majesty, the guards said that the man waited for many days, but left a few days ago after realizing there was no hope."

"Alright, you can go now." Bibi Dong's expression flashed, she waved to the people below, and slowly stood up after they left.

She was right. Given Xiao Gang's pride, he would never lower himself to beg her from the sect unless it was something extremely important. Let alone wait for her outside the Papal Palace for so many days.

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, then summoned someone: "I heard that Emperor Xueye is seriously ill. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, I need to go and offer my condolences, and also check on the advancement level of this Soul Master Competition. Have your people prepare accordingly."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters in Tiandou City.

"Rongrong, this is a 30,000-year-old gem-type soul bone. This type of soul bone is most suitable for support and environment-type soul masters. Although its age is relatively low, it is the most precious head soul bone. Think about whether you want to absorb it."

Li Xun pointed to the soul bone that had exploded on the table years ago.

These past few days, he had been having Dugu Bo keep an eye on Shi Nian to see if he would make a move against him. This wasn't Li Xun being narcissistic; after all, Shi Nian seemed to care quite a bit about the Canghui team.

As for why he didn't strike first, it was because Li Xun was interested in this person and wanted to see if Shi Nian would still go to Shrek Academy if he didn't come looking for him.

After all that had happened, Tang Hao became even more attentive to protecting Tang San.

To prevent Shi Nian from becoming a victim, Li Xun specifically told Dugu Bo that if he discovered Tang Hao, he should step forward first and offer a small favor to retrieve Shi Nian's soul bone.

Little did they know that the other party was targeting Yu Tianheng.

Although he had made meritorious contributions that year, Li Xun would not allow the Heavenly Dou Empire to have someone who could kill whomever he wanted.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled as she looked at the soul bone on the table.

Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan, hearing this, also curiously came over. Both of them possessed head soul bones, with Zhu Zhuqing's being a 50,000-year-old three-eyed demon fox skull.

Even so, it couldn't stop their love for soul bones. After all, these things were extremely precious.

Ning Rongrong carefully picked up the soul bone and examined it closely for a while, but then she became conflicted. She felt that she had become somewhat greedy since listening to Li Xun's words, and she kept thinking that she would use the soul bone to increase her soul power level when she reached a higher level.

As a support-type Soul Master, her cultivation speed is too slow; she's only at level 43 Soul Power so far. Li Xun, on the other hand, is at level 54, Zhu Zhuqing at level 48, and even Dugu Yan is at level 46.

While this was partly the reason Ning Rongrong hadn't absorbed the soul bone, she didn't want to fall too far behind these people.

Ning Rongrong made up her mind and smiled at Li Xun: "Brother, I want to absorb it."

"Alright, then start absorbing now. If you're late, I won't take you with me in tomorrow's battle against Tianshui Academy," Li Xun joked with a smile.

The atmosphere in a meeting room at Shrek Academy was tense. Yu Yuanzhen, Flander, Tang San, and all the core members of Shrek Academy wore solemn expressions.

"Dean, I've checked all the brothels we frequent in Tiandou City, but they all say they didn't see Yu Tianheng that night," Ma Hongjun said sheepishly.

"I also looked for some secluded private clubs and high-end hotels, but I didn't find any," Dai Mubai said calmly.

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

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others remained silent. They had gone to look for it together, but it was just some streets and parks, places they didn't really need to talk about.

"Look at the places you've chosen!" Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened, and he slammed his hand on the table, causing it to shatter instantly. "Liu Erlong, Flander, you don't even care if your students go out to brothels and entertainment venues? Is this how you educate your students?"

Flander dared not provoke Yu Yuanzhen at this moment, and immediately fell silent, pretending to be dead.

"Uncle, I didn't know Tianheng would go to a place like that," Liu Erlong said, somewhat at a loss.

Shrek and his group hadn't been with Blue Lightning Advanced Academy for very long, and they were led by Yu Xiaogang and Flander, so she hadn't paid much attention to them.

"You don't know? Yu Tianheng, as your nephew, came to your place, and you actually say you don't know?"

Yu Yuanzhen's anger flared instantly. He glared fiercely at Liu Erlong: "Is Xiaogang the only one you care about? Didn't I tell you two to stay away from each other? Not only are you bringing shame to the family, but you're even flirting in front of so many students. Don't you know anything about shame?"

It's no wonder Yu Yuanzhen was furious. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was already suffering from a decline in talent. Although Yu Tianheng's talent wasn't exceptional, he was one of only two who could be considered capable in the next generation.

Now that Yu Tianheng has disappeared, if something else happens to Yu Tianxin, he dares not imagine what the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect will become.

When Liu Erlong heard Yu Yuanzhen say that she was shameless, her face turned deathly pale. She never expected that her uncle would say such a thing about her.
