Chapter 390 Soto City
Yu Xiaogang's legs were broken, yes, comminuted fractures.
The piercing scream was abrupt and carried far.
Because the crime scene was at the foot of the central mountain, the sound was barely audible by the time it reached the distant mountainside.
But Bibi Dong, who was sitting on the papal throne, half-reclining and half-lying down, resting with her eyes closed, seemed to sense something.
She suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful pale purple eyes. In her hazy vision, she seemed to hear the painful wails of some useless master.
Is it just an illusion?
Bibi Dong thought she had misheard, so she raised her hand and gently rubbed her temples. Just as she was about to close her eyes and rest again, a shrill scream suddenly rang out once more.
This time, she finally heard it clearly.
"What's going on? Wasn't that good-for-nothing in the archives? Why is he screaming so pitifully? He sounds like he's in a lot of pain?"
Bibi Dong was certain that it was the wailing of the Waste Master, and her doubts deepened.
After thinking about it, she decided to check what was going on.
So, with a thought, she unleashed her immense spiritual power, probing in the direction from which the sound came.
Because of the Rakshasa inheritance, Bibi Dong's soul power was limited to the peak of level 98, but her spiritual power was not restricted and had already broken through the shackles of the peak of level 98, reaching the level 99 Limit Douluo.
When Bibi Dong's spiritual power spread to the edge of the square in front of the Papal Palace, she discovered an extremely familiar figure.
This figure was none other than her most beloved disciple, Ye Qifeng.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng stood with his hands behind his back, upright and tall, at the edge of the square in front of the Papal Palace, his eyes slightly lowered, gazing at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
However, to Bibi Dong's surprise...
The warmth and gentleness that once graced Ye Qifeng's handsome face were gone, replaced by a cold and stern expression, and a faint killing intent emanated from him.
Bibi Dong was startled.
This was the first time she had ever seen Ye Qifeng so cold-hearted.
Ye Qifeng's murderous aura was completely different from his usual gentle and easygoing demeanor, yet for some reason, it touched her heart and made her inexplicably fond of him.
"What's wrong with Xiaofeng? Who made him angry?"
Sensing the coldness, anger, and murderous intent emanating from Ye Qifeng, Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel a surge of anger herself.
"Who is it? How dare they make my Xiaofeng angry?! Are they looking for death?!"
Anger rose in her heart. Bibi Dong controlled her mental power, circling it around Ye Qifeng a few times before immediately investigating the direction he was looking.
She wanted to see which bastard dared to anger her Xiao Feng, and she was determined to make that bastard pay the price.
However.
When Bibi Dong used her spiritual power to probe the foot of the mountain and saw the tragic scene in the field, she suddenly froze.
That's right, the direction Ye Qifeng was looking in was actually the direction from which Yu Xiaogang's scream came.
Standing at the edge of the square in front of the Papal Palace, he could see the foot of the mountains in the distance. With his current eyesight, he could clearly see everything that was happening on the scene.
The reason Ye Qifeng was standing here was naturally to see the miserable state of the Waste Master.
Although I didn't do it myself, seeing Yu Xiaogang's leg broken must have given me a sense of satisfaction.
After all, he's the "villain."
A villain should act like a villain. Watching their opponent being tortured is what a villain should do, isn't it?
I saw the images fed back by my mental energy.
Bibi Dong instinctively stood up straight, wanting to fly over and take a look, but the next second, she suddenly stopped:
"Could it be that the person who angered Xiao Feng was that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang?"
"Was it Xiao Feng who ordered his legs to be broken?"
"Oh, this."
"But seeing Yu Xiaogang in so much pain, why am I so calm? And why do I even feel a little bit of inexplicable pleasure? What's going on?"
In that instant, Bibi Dong seemed to realize something.
"Should I still go take a look? After all, Yu Xiaogang..."
Bibi Dong still has some sentimental feelings.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was someone she once liked, and he was also the obsession that kept her alive.
Although another person has taken up a place in my heart now, there is still a trace of affection left.
So she was determined to rescue Yu Xiaogang.
"But... if I go there rashly, Xiao Feng will definitely see me. What if he gets angry? What if he misunderstands and thinks I have some kind of relationship with Yu Xiaogang?"
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong hesitated.
"Forget it, what's the point? My legs are already broken anyway, it's too late to go now."
After her expression shifted for a long time, she exhaled, steeled her resolve, and decided to ignore the matter altogether.
"My relationship with him ended more than twenty years ago, so what relationship is left to speak of!"
"And who told him to provoke Xiao Feng? Humph! He deserved to die."
"He's only lost two legs; that's already letting him off easy."
With this thought, Bibi Dong immediately felt relieved.
So she lowered her round, pert buttocks back onto the papal throne, slumped back on it, crossed her legs, propped her cheeks up, and closed her eyes.
However, her mental focus remained on Ye Qifeng, secretly observing and spying on him.
…………
Yu Xiaogang's screams not only alerted Bibi Dong, but also Qian Daoliu on the mountaintop.
Qian Daoliu's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the level 99 Limit Douluo, which can be called the realm of demigod. Compared with Bibi Dong, he is at least several times higher.
The screams that Bibi Dong could hear were also sensed by Qian Daoliu, perhaps even earlier.
Like Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu also released his spiritual power to investigate.
They quickly learned what had happened.
Inside the offering hall.
Beneath the angel statue.
As the immense spiritual energy receded, Qian Daoliu, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, suddenly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face, and gave a word of approval:
"Well done!"
He's been unhappy with that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang for a long time.
Unfortunately, he had Bibi Dong protecting him before, and to prevent Bibi Dong from going crazy, he couldn't do anything to Yu Xiaogang.
Moreover, given his status, it wouldn't make sense for him to personally deal with a level 29 Great Soul Master who is as weak as an ant.
He didn't have the face to do it.
Now that Ye Qifeng has taken action, it couldn't be better.
"On one side is your beloved disciple, on the other is the man you love. Bibi Dong, what would you choose?"
Qian Daoliu was very curious about which side Bibi Dong would stand on.
His eyes gleamed with golden light, his gaze seemingly piercing through the thick walls of the ancestral hall and landing on the papal palace halfway up the mountain.
Upon seeing Bibi Dong discover Yu Xiaogang's plight, she immediately stood up, as if to go and rescue him.
Qian Daoliu remained expressionless and said in a cold voice:
"So, you're still hung up on that useless snack?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Bibi Dong sit back on the papal throne, choosing to turn a blind eye to Yu Xiaogang's tragic fate.
"Huh? What's going on? Never mind? Isn't that good-for-nothing the man you like? How can you tolerate Ye boy bullying that good-for-nothing?"
Qian Daoliu said he didn't understand.
"Does Ye Xiaozhi hold such a heavy place in Bibi Dong's heart? More important than that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang?"
"But this is good too. It shows that Bibi Dong doesn't always side with that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang. There's still hope."
"Since she values Ye Xiaozi so much as her disciple, perhaps we can use Ye Xiaozi to help her see the true colors of that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang and cure her love-struck brain."
Qian Daoliu's mind began to stir.
It seems they've come up with a way to get Bibi Dong out of her romantic obsession and stop her infatuation with Yu Xiaogang.
However.
Qian Daoliu was unaware that his so-called method was actually unnecessary.
First of all, being obsessed with love is incurable; it can only shift, not disappear.
Secondly, Bibi Dong is no longer obsessed with Yu Xiaogang; her heart has been completely occupied by another person.
…………
After Yu Xiaogang's legs were broken, he was quickly carried out of Wuhun City.
Ye Qifeng turned around and went back into the archives to continue browsing and searching for the soul tool information that Lou Gao's team needed.
After resolving this matter, he will likely have to leave Wuhun City for some time again.
Yu Xiaogang's unexpected appearance in Wuhun City served as a warning to Ye Qifeng.
That means Tang San and Xiao Wu should be graduating from Notting Academy and then, following Yu Xiaogang's instructions, leaving Fasno Province and heading to Soto City in the Barak Kingdom to enroll in Shrek Academy.
This is the annual graduation season for all Soul Master academies in Douluo Continent.
Yu Xiaogang did not accompany Tang San and Xiao Wu to Shrek Academy and disappeared for a period of time.
During this time, no one knew where Yu Xiaogang went.
Even Yoruichi, who knew the original course of fate, was unaware of it.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang had secretly come to Wuhun City to plagiarize Wuhun knowledge.
Fortunately, Ye Qifeng witnessed it, otherwise he might have succeeded.
As for the solution to the conflict between the twin martial souls that Yu Xiaogang wants to obtain, currently only Bibi Dong knows the answer in the entire Spirit Hall, and even in the entire Douluo Continent.
Of course, we also need to add Ye Qifeng.
Therefore, it is impossible for Yu Xiaogang to have obtained this method from the Spirit Hall's archives.
…………
Because of Ye Qifeng's presence, Yu Xiaogang's trip to Wuhun City not only ended in vain, but also cost him his life.
After being thrown out of Wuhun City.
Yu Xiaogang, who suffered comminuted fractures in both legs, could only crawl away.
Whether it was a stroke of luck or something else, not long after leaving Wuhun City, he was fortunate enough to meet a kind-hearted healing-type soul master who healed his legs.
Although the injury has not fully healed, walking is no longer a problem.
The trip to Wuhun City made Yu Xiaogang feel intense humiliation once again, and his resentment and hatred towards the Wuhun Hall grew even stronger, like a river bursting its banks, surging and turbulent.
The shadow in his heart spread infinitely, almost solidifying into a tangible form, enveloping his entire mind.
He secretly made up his mind.
If given the opportunity, we must completely destroy the evil organization, the Spirit Hall, in the future. We must uproot it, grind its bones to dust, and exterminate it completely, leaving no trace of future trouble.
…………
A month later.
Soto is a large city, one of the two most important cities in the Kingdom of Barak.
It is located in the center of the most fertile Lima Plain in the Kingdom of Barak, and is known as the granary of Barak.
Therefore, Soto's status was second only to Barak, the political and economic center of the Barak Kingdom, which was also its capital.
The Kingdom of Barak, located in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire and bordering the Province of Fasno, is one of the four major kingdoms within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Because the southern part of the kingdom borders the Star Luo Empire directly, friction, conflict, and even war frequently occur on the border.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Barak is heavily guarded year-round, possessing extremely powerful military strength, and can be considered a crucial gateway to the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Additionally, it's worth mentioning that...
The Kingdom of Barak also has a portion of its territory that borders and overlaps with the land controlled by Wuhun City.
In reality, the Spirit Hall is not a country in theory, but only a spirit master organization, and there is no such thing as controlling land.
Based on existing legal principles, theoretically all the land in Douluo Continent belongs to the two great empires, Tiandou and Xingluo.
So where did the land controlled by Wuhun City, which is comparable in size to a kingdom, come from?
This was actually the result of a compromise between the two great empires, Tiandou and Xingluo.
The existence of the Spirit Hall is of great significance to the entire Douluo Continent. Not only does it hold a high position in the hearts of the people, but more importantly, its strength is too great, and the two great empires dare not easily offend or provoke it.
This led to the establishment of a piece of land around Wuhun City, comparable in size to a kingdom, which was then placed under the jurisdiction of Wuhun City.
Wuhun City is quite close to Soto City, only a few hundred kilometers away. If you travel by carriage, it will only take four or five days to get there.
…………
It is noon.
The sun in the south of the Heavenly Dou Empire was scorching hot, hanging high in the sky like a fireball, radiating intense light and baking the earth.
A young man walked in through the east gate of Soto.
The young man looked to be around sixteen years old, dressed in a black outfit, a little over 1.8 meters tall, with an upright posture, and his long, jet-black hair was casually tied back with a light purple women's hairband.
He was extremely handsome, with delicate features, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes; he was a very dashing man.
Just as the man in black entered Soto City through the east gate, young people also entered through the west and north gates.
Two young people, a man and a woman, walked in through the west gate of Soto.
They all looked to be only twelve years old, and were lightly dressed, seemingly without any luggage.
The boy was dressed in a light blue outfit, his clothes and appearance were ordinary, the kind of person who would be easily overlooked in a crowd.
There was almost nothing particularly special about the boy; the only thing that could attract attention was the belt around his waist.
The belt was inlaid with twenty-four jade stones, which seemed to be specially made, but it wasn't particularly beautiful.
The boy wore a peaceful but ordinary smile, his gaze occasionally glancing at the girl beside him. His eyes, as they opened and closed, inadvertently revealed a brilliance beyond his years.
Mature, shrewd, calculating, and with a certain possessiveness.
Unlike the boy, who looked ordinary, the girl next to him was much prettier.
The girl was half a meter taller than the boy. She wore a pink top and white trousers. She had a slender waist and long legs. A scorpion braid that reached past her calves bounced up and down with each jump.
If the boy's face was unusually ordinary, then the girl's face could be described as beautiful.
Of course, it's not quite stunning.
The girl's face had the innocence typical of young girls, and her pink eyes were big and watery. Paired with her rosy cheeks, she gave off a charming and cute feeling.
The boy standing next to her was almost incomparable, both in appearance and demeanor.
