Chapter 135 The Whereabouts of Yu Xiaogang
Bibi Dong sat high on the throne in the main hall of the Spirit Hall. There were no guards in the entire hall, after all, with her strength, she didn't need to worry about any assassination attempts.
Ci Xue bowed and slowly walked into the main hall. Bibi Dong rested her chin on her hand and glanced at him.
"Your Holiness, the poison that Chrysanthemum Pass was poisoned with had already largely dissipated since he fled back to Spirit City due to the loss of his hand. Now, I am not sure what kind of poison could harm a Title Douluo."
"Hoo." As if she had known this would be the outcome, Bibi Dong exhaled, but her silence only made Ci Xue below feel even more frightened.
"From what you're saying, it sounds like a real shame."
"No, I'm just relieved that Chrysanthemum Pass was spared." Ci Xue quickly clasped his hands in front of his face and buried his head under them, making it impossible to see his expression.
He was naturally pleased with Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's current predicament. Normally, the Pope would most often order Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo around, which made this yin-yang man arrogant and haughty towards the elders.
Now that Yue Guan has lost an arm and his cultivation has greatly declined, he no longer poses a threat to me.
"Is that Ghost Elder still accompanying Elder Ju?" Bibi Dong asked casually.
"That's natural. The two of them have always had a deep relationship. I imagine that once Chrysanthemum Pass is fully restored, Old Ghost will go to Tiandou to settle accounts with Dugu Bo himself."
"snort."
"Your subordinate, I have already spoken to the old ghost. Before we figure out how to guard against the poison that injured Chrysanthemum Pass, it is best not to touch that old poisoner again. However, according to Chrysanthemum Pass, although Dugu Bo's poison is mixed in his soul skill, it is obviously not his soul skill. It must be some other method."
"So what do you think?"
"In my opinion, if it is truly a soul skill, it is actually a good thing. With your cultivation level, Your Holiness, you can suppress the opponent so much that Dugu Bo would not dare to move in front of you. How could he possibly use a soul skill? But if it is a technique, it is somewhat difficult to defend against."
Bibi Dong could naturally tell he was flattering her, but she didn't take it seriously at all. She sat on the stage, admiring her own fingers.
"Alright, step back. Bring Master Yu over here. Remember, invite him!"
"Yes." Seeing that he was finally free from this part, Ci Xue breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked out of the main hall. After confirming that Bibi Dong could not hear him, he muttered "crazy woman" under his breath.
Ci Xue walked straight to the entrance of the hidden prison inside the Spirit Hall. No one should be here all year round. Even if someone is imprisoned here, they are mostly Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo who are unwilling to submit to the Spirit Hall.
But now, only one person is imprisoned here—
"Elder Porcupinefish, you've arrived." The two Spirit Hall soldiers guarding the dark prison bowed and greeted the approaching elder.
Bloodthirst nodded, placing his hands behind his back. "Your Holiness, allow me to bring the people inside out."
"Yes—" The two soldiers exchanged glances, secretly relieved that the torture they had inflicted on the Soul Master yesterday hadn't killed him. Ci Xue slowly descended the stairs to the innermost cell, looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was shirtless and had his collarbones pierced. Months of torture would have taken its toll even on a Title Douluo. They wondered what had kept Yu Xiaogang alive until now, clinging to life.
The once delicate and tender master now has not a single good piece of flesh on his body. However, with some simple healing medicine applied by the Spirit Hall, these injuries will be invisible.
Noticing the newcomer, Yu Xiaogang, his eyes darting away, dared not look directly into the light streaming in. But upon seeing Ci Xue's clothes and face, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
"Elder! I came here to seek refuge with your Spirit Hall, why have your people locked me up here without even asking what happened? What I'm suffering is pure torture! I want to see Bibi Dong, I want to see your Pope!"
Ci Xue had a cold expression, but because he was in the shadows, Yu Xiaogang couldn't see it at all.
Imprisoning a Soul Master with only the strength of a Great Soul Master in this dark dungeon where Title Douluos are held, and subjecting him to constant torture every day, is not to make him defect or extract any information. After all, Yu Xiaogang's purpose in coming to the Spirit Hall in Spirit City was to join the Spirit Hall.
It wasn't until today that the decision was made to release him. That's why Ci Xue called Bibi Dong a crazy woman, and it seems that Yu Xiaogang is still in the dark.
Ci Xue raised his head, a strange smile on his face, but in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, it was a smile that could bring him salvation.
"Master Yu, you've had a tough time these past few days. I really don't know what your subordinates were doing. I've already followed the rules of the Spirit Hall and executed the two soldiers who were responsible for torturing you."
As he spoke, Ci Xue hurriedly stepped forward to remove the shackles from Yu Xiaogang's body. Then, he took out a healing potion from his sleeve and poured it down Yu Xiaogang's throat. In this dark prison, no matter what level of cultivation one had, if one's collarbone was pierced by special means and most of one's acupoints were sealed, even if one had the physical strength of a Title Douluo, one would only suffer more pain.
These are all experiences that the Spirit Hall has accumulated year after year through trial and error with these spirit masters under Bibi Dong's leadership. If Tang San were here, he would be able to accurately identify the eight extraordinary meridians and pinpoint their locations.
With Ci Xue carrying him on his shoulder, Yu Xiaogang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had long harbored a deep hatred for the Spirit Hall soldiers who had been responsible for torturing him for the past few months. Now that he heard Ci Xue say that they had been executed, whether it was true or not, he felt extremely pleased.
But when he saw the light of day again, he was still shocked by the scene at the entrance of the dark prison. Two corpses lay on the open ground, their heads and bodies separated, and the ground was covered with blood. Although he heard Ci Xue say that he had killed the two men, Yu Xiaogang thought that the other party was joking. At most, he would just make sure that the two soldiers did not appear in front of him. But he did not expect that what appeared in front of him now were naked corpses.
Yu Xiaogang's legs immediately trembled, despite being tortured every day.
"What's wrong, Master Yu? I killed them to vent your anger, but you seem a little unwilling."
"How could that be? Thank you, Elder Porcupine." Yu Xiaogang forced a smile. Having never seen human blood before, he was somewhat shocked by the scene before him.
"That's good. After you've met His Holiness the Pope, I'll have to trouble you to clean up these corpses. After all, this is the face of our Spirit Hall, and it wouldn't be good if others saw it," Ci Xue said casually.
"good----"
In truth, Ci Xue felt a pang of reluctance, but it was all Bibi Dong's doing. If he didn't kill these two soldiers, even if he didn't lose his head, his future would be bleak.
These two soldiers were clearly torturing Yu Xiaogang according to Bibi Dong's instructions, but now, because they knew the inside story, they were silenced by Bibi Dong.
