The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

Duan Yufan shook his head, waiting for Bishop Skoda to speak calmly.

At the same time, the Spirit Hall of Spirit City announced its investigation plan to the mainland, calling on people across the mainland to actively report the Spirit Hall's persecution of ordinary people to its members.

It was also announced that the heads of the Supervision Department are Duan Yufan, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden.

After the dispatched inspectors took their positions, the operation was announced in the city at the same time.

After Duan Yufan and the fifty members of the Temple Knights who posted the notice returned, and more and more passersby gathered in the square, Duan Yufan said to Elder Ghost Leopard.

"Elder Ghost Leopard, let's begin."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ghost Leopard Douluo summoned his martial soul, the Black-Striped Ghost Leopard, and revealed nine spirit rings—the optimal configuration. Without the optimal configuration, he wouldn't even qualify to become a Title Douluo.

As soon as Ghost Leopard Douluo released his martial soul and soul rings, he unleashed a powerful surge of soul power, drawing an ever-growing crowd.

"A Title Douluo!" Skoda was not surprised at all; he had a premonition from the moment they met.

"A Titled Douluo!" The passersby who were gathering towards the Spirit Hall were all shocked when they saw Ghost Leopard Douluo.

"What is the Spirit Hall trying to do?" Not far away, Qian Renxue, no, now Xue Qinghe, was also on this side of the square with Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Ning Fengzhi received news of Xue Beng's death and, out of support for the Tian Dou Empire, arrived in Tian Dou City early in the morning.

Then, the actions of the Spirit Hall attracted the attention of the royal family, and Xue Qinghe led Ning Fengzhi and the other two to the square.

"People of Heaven Dou City, His Holiness the Pope has put aside personal ties to establish the Spirit Hall's Inspection Department. You can report and complain to His Highness the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall at any time and place. Any unscrupulous members of the Spirit Hall, if proven guilty, will be severely punished without any leniency."

"I'm saying that anyone can say that we hope to actively cooperate with the Spirit Hall's investigation so that those who harm ordinary people will be punished, allowing us to better serve the people of the entire continent."

"If you are afraid that the person you reported will retaliate against you, you can also write an anonymous letter to the Spirit Hall's Supervision Department, and we will definitely investigate and find out the truth."

Ghost Leopard Douluo used his powerful soul force to make his voice resound throughout the Heaven Dou City square, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"What audacity! The actions of the Spirit Hall Pope will damage at least three-tenths of the Spirit Hall's strength in order to gain the favor of the people of the entire continent. What is the Spirit Hall trying to do?" Ning Fengzhi, as the head of a sect, immediately saw the problem and said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Teacher, the Spirit Hall might be making some kind of preparation. Teacher, just in case, we should prepare as soon as possible," Xue Qinghe subtly reminded Ning Fengzhi in a calm tone.

“No one knows the true strength of the Spirit Hall. We’ve never even met this Title Douluo before. It seems we three sects need to hold a meeting,” Ning Fengzhi said solemnly.

After Ghost Leopard Douluo finished speaking, the Heaven Dou Temple stood awkwardly in place, no one daring to leave the group ahead of time.

Before long, someone stepped forward and reported that a member of the Heavenly Fighting Temple was visiting brothels and competing with others for the same woman.

One complaint leads to another.

“Bishop Skoda, what are you waiting for? Write it all down,” Duan Yufan said to Bishop Skoda upon seeing this.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Bishop Skoda immediately responded and made a note of the person who had been reported.

More and more people spoke up, but fortunately, Bishop Skoda, the Platinum Archbishop, usually managed things well, and most of the reports were about going to brothels and gambling at the Great Arena.

However, Duan Yufan was not in a hurry. If there are minor reports, there will be major reports. Going to brothels to gamble is a minor matter, but it still damages the reputation of the Spirit Hall. Duan Yufan naturally imposed corresponding punishments, deducting several months' worth of money and issuing a warning.

The investigation was carried out in an orderly manner every day. After one day, everyone in the city knew about it. After two days, it gradually spread to the villages around the city, and after three days, it gradually spread to more remote places.

The major powers reacted differently, and within a few days a wave of excitement swept across the entire mainland.

Duan Yufan spent ten days at the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City without any major incidents, and he was preparing to return to the Spirit Hall. He would leave the rest to the Platinum Bishop Skoda.

Chapter 133 Reunion with Yu Xiaogang

Since the Spirit Hall launched its investigation, it has become the talk of the town in mainland China, with people sharing what they've heard with their family and friends.

On the tenth day of the Spirit Hall's investigation, Duan Yufan saw that the Spirit Hall's surveillance work in Tiandou City was on track and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

“Bishop Skoda, I’ve pretty much finished investigating you all. I’ll leave the follow-up to you now, but don’t let your guard down. If I receive an anonymous tip in Wuhun City, you know the consequences.”

Around 5 p.m. that day, Duan Yufan gave instructions to Bishop Skoda and the remaining four bishops in the main hall of the Heavenly Dou Temple.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will strictly require everyone in the Spirit Hall to learn from this example," Platinum Bishop Skoda assured him.

"Well, I think the investigation into the Heaven Dou Temple is almost complete. Tomorrow I will return to Wuhun City to report to His Holiness the Pope. From now on, anyone who wants to join the Heaven Dou Temple must be strictly investigated. Their background must be clarified. We must not let our guard down, especially against those who send Soul Masters from powerful factions to act as spies."

Duan Yufan solemnly and earnestly instructed Bishop Skoda.

"Yes, Your Highness! Will Your Highness stay at the Heavenly Battle Temple for a few more days?" Bishop Skorda pleaded.

"No need, but Elder Ghost Leopard will stay here and hold out for another ten days to half a month," Duan Yufan said calmly.

"Holy Son, how can this be? You'll go back alone. What if something happens to you on the way? How will I explain it to His Holiness the Pope?" Ghost Leopard Douluo said hurriedly upon hearing Duan Yufan's arrangement.

“Yes! Your Highness, we don’t need the elders to guard this place. Your journey is more important. If the royal family receives the news, they might ambush you,” Bishop Skoda added, his voice grave.

"It's alright. The Heavenly Dou Empire doesn't have anyone capable of fighting, unless they send tens of thousands of elite soldiers. But I can still fly, so you don't need to worry about me. Focus on carrying out the investigation."

Duan Yufan waved his hand dismissively and said, then after giving all his instructions, he walked toward the entrance of the Heavenly Battle Holy Temple.

"Respectfully seeing off His Highness the Holy Son." Bishop Skoda and Ghost Leopard Douluo, seeing this, did not try to stop him and followed Duan Yufan to the door, saying respectfully.

Walking down the street, there weren't many pedestrians, probably because it was dinnertime; it was already close to six in the afternoon.

The sky was already showing orange-red and orange-yellow dawn clouds, and the last rays of the sun were still shining on Tiandou City as dusk approached.

"Sigh! I wonder how Senior Sister Nana is doing, whether she has returned to Wuhun City." Walking down the street and looking at the beautiful clouds on the horizon, I couldn't help but sigh.

Enjoying the scenery along the way back to the Tian Dou Hotel, and watching the people walking on the street, I thought, "This is the first time I've ever walked like this alone in Douluo Continent. It's really a bit strange."

Duan Yufan became sentimental again, quickly recalling his eight years in Douluo Continent. It seemed like this was the first time he had ever walked alone quietly on the street.

"Hey, here comes someone to relieve my boredom. I didn't expect to arrive in Tiandou City ahead of schedule because of my own reasons."

On his way back to the Tiandou Hotel, Duan Yufan encountered three unexpected people: two men and one woman. The two men were around 40 years old, while the woman looked younger, in her early thirties.

Duan Yufan had met both men before, namely Yu Xiaogang and Flander, but this was the first time he had met the woman.

She wore a simple blue-green cloth dress, her face was a little pale, her features were delicate and beautiful, her eyebrows were like a painting, but her eyes looked at Yu Xiaogang with some melancholy. Under the blue-green cloth dress, she had a hot figure as perfect as Hu Liena.

Given that she met these criteria, and was always by Yu Xiaogang and Flander's side, Duan Yufan could only think of Liu Erlong, one of the Golden Iron Triangle, and no other woman connected to Yu Xiaogang and Flander.

The three walked and chatted, completely unaware that Duan Yufan was not far ahead of them. In other words, they didn't recognize him at first glance, since they had only met once before.

"Oh, isn't this Master Yu and Dean Shrek? What a coincidence! It's been a long time since I've seen you two." Duan Yu Fan smiled and said to the two of them.

"It's you!" Yu Xiaogang saw Duan Yufan's feigned indifference change instantly, and he was furious.

The day Yu Xiaogang left the Spirit Hall, he kept thinking about it and felt something was wrong. When he thought about his meeting and conversation with Duan Yufan, he realized that he had been tricked, and completely tricked. After leaving Spirit City, he became angrier and angrier, but there was nothing he could do.

"It's you. It's been a long time." Flander recalled the scene Zhao Wuji had described not long ago when Duan Yufan fought against the 100,000-year-old soul beast Titan Giant Ape.

"Oh! It seems you two are quite surprised to see me, especially Master Yu. I remember we had a very pleasant and congenial chat at the Spirit Hall before. Why do you look so gloomy now that you see me?" Duan Yufan said with a gentle smile.

"Xiao Gang, Boss Fu, who is this?" Liu Erlong looked at the handsome and slender young man Duan Yufan and asked the two of them with a puzzled expression.

“Erlong, you’ve been in Tiandou City all this time, so you must have heard about him these past few days. He’s the current Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.” Yu Xiaogang remained silent, so Flander introduced him to Liu Erlong.

"So he's the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. I've heard of him quite a bit, but I never expected him to be so young." Liu Erlong said slowly, looking at Duan Yufan and hearing Flander's explanation.

"Master Yu, is this the cousin Liu Erlong you told me about? Tsk tsk, amazing. She really is quite good-looking, stunningly beautiful, like a fairy, with a demeanor that rivals any man."

When Duan Yufan mentioned his cousin, his tone was a bit heavy. Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted, and he knew what Duan Yufan meant.

Liu Erlong was praised by Duan Yufan, but she didn't understand the meaning behind his words. She had a good first impression of Duan Yufan. Flander, needless to say, didn't understand Duan Yufan's sarcasm towards Yu Xiaogang.

"Is there anything else? If not, we'll be leaving," Yu Xiaogang said, noticing Duan Yufan's heavy mood.

"Why the rush? Let's chat a bit more. Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell those two the secret you told me about," Duan Yufan said with a light laugh.

"Oh! What secrets could you two possibly have?" Liu Erlong couldn't help but ask curiously when Duan Yufan said that.

"I can't say, I absolutely will not say it's a secret related to you," Duan Yufan said with a very innocent chuckle.

"Oh! It's a secret that concerns me. Since it concerns me, I have the right to know. Tell me." Liu Erlong became increasingly curious as Duan Yufan spoke, and she couldn't wait to continue asking.

"Erlong, stop asking. Don't you know he's just teasing you? He's the Pope's disciple. Besides, what secrets could I possibly have from you?" Yu Xiaogang couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Liu Erlong from asking further questions.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Liu Erlong responded very gently when Yu Xiaogang spoke.

“Master Yu, you’re wrong to say that. This is the first time I’ve met this lady. What reason would I have to tease her? You’re probably prejudiced against me. So what if you know your little secret? You told me yourself, I didn’t force you to tell me.”

"I have a memory soul tool here. Do you want me to play it out and let's listen to it together?"

Duan Yufan started to search, while Yu Xiaogang's face was as black as charcoal, resembling the Black Whirlwind Li Kui in the world.

"Enough, Your Highness. Since there's nothing else, we'll take our leave and return to the academy." Flander noticed something unusual about Yu Xiaogang's expression and tried to smooth things over. Although he didn't know what Duan Yufan was going to say, he guessed it was something detrimental to Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.

"Alright then, since Dean Flander has said so, there's nothing I can do. It would be rude of me to say anything more. But Dean Flander, wasn't your academy in Soto City? Why did you move to Tiandou City?" Duan Yufan asked Flander, feigning curiosity.

"This doesn't seem to be your business!" Flander said, frowning slightly, not wanting to explain.

"That's true, then I'll be going now. You three have fun. I'm sure we'll meet again." Duan Yufan smiled, then walked past the three of them. If he continued, he would be being tactless.

Yu Xiaogang and the other two did not move forward immediately, but turned to look at Duan Yufan.

"Erlong, this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, don't be fooled by his gentle and refined appearance. He's actually ruthless and a man who hides a knife behind his smile, especially as that woman's disciple. How could he be a simple person?" Yu Xiaogang introduced Duan Yufan to Liu Erlong after watching him walk away.

“Yes, I know. I also heard that the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall killed the纨绔子弟 (a spoiled brat), the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Royal Family,” Liu Erlong said, picking up where Yu Xiaogang left off.

"What secret is it that has anything to do with me?" Liu Erlong thought to herself, her intuition telling her that Duan Yufan was telling the truth.

"Yes, it's good that you know. This person is cunning and treacherous; we must be wary of his attempts to sow discord," Yu Xiaogang said solemnly.

“Erlong, Xiaogang is right. Zhao Wuji and Oscar and the others saw it with their own eyes. This person doesn’t even spare a rabbit or a monkey.” Flander also spoke up for Yu Xiaogang.

"Ah..."

"Who's talking badly about me behind my back? It must be Yu Xiaogang. He's probably talking badly about me to Liu Erlong right now, trying to dispel Liu Erlong's curiosity and clear himself of any wrongdoing," Duan Yufan said with a contemptuous smile, shaking his head and speaking softly.

"Speaking of Tang San, is he still at Shrek Academy? But Yu Xiaogang actually arrived in Heaven Dou City ahead of time and even met with Liu Erlong ahead of schedule. Oh well, why should I think about them? Sigh, really."

Duan Yufan then put the three of them out of his mind and walked for another ten minutes to the Tiandou Hotel.

Duan Yufan had a simple meal in the hotel cafeteria and returned to his room at 7 p.m. He went into the bathroom to wash up.

"Teacher, I'm back."

Meanwhile, Hu Liena, who was far away in Xingluo City, had returned to Wuhun City. She had almost finished resolving everything in eight days and had traveled for another two days.

"Hmm! Nana, why are you back so early? It's only been ten days." Bibi Dong was reading a book in the Papal Palace when Hu Liena disturbed her. She put down her book and said with a smile.

“Teacher, the Star Luo City Temple is being managed well by the Platinum Bishop Matthewton. There are no major problems, just minor issues. Elder Firebird and the two Soul Saints will stay for a few more days.” Hu Liena explained to Bibi Dong, describing the situation at the Star Luo City Temple.

"Yes, Bishop Matthewton has been in the Star Luo Temple for so many years and has basically never had any major problems. He is probably the oldest among the Platinum Bishops, so he can be trusted."
