Douluo Continent: Protect Our Spirit Hall

Chapter 735 Papal Decree

Chapter 735 Papal Decree

Yu Xiaogang has not forgotten that he returned to Wuhun City twice, but was humiliated by the Wuhun Hall both times, and he still cannot let it go.

The first time I returned to Wuhun City was more than a decade ago when I learned of the death of Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Wuhun Hall.

He went to the Spirit Hall alone, attempting to reconcile with Bibi Dong, rekindle their old flame, and then, relying on her noble status, reach the pinnacle of life, becoming the most powerful man in the Douluo Continent.

However, they couldn't even get through the gates of Wuhun City.

Not only were they stopped by the city gate guards, but they also suffered a severe beating, losing an arm, and ultimately had to slink away in disgrace.

He returned to Wuhun City for the second time, six years after taking Tang San as his disciple.

At that time, Tang San had just graduated from Notting Academy and went to Soto City with Xiao Wu to enroll in Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang himself went to Wuhun City to find a way and clues to resolve the conflict between his twin martial souls for his disciple Tang San.

This time, Yu Xiaogang was not stopped outside Wuhun City.

With the papal decree granted by Tang Hao, he smoothly entered Wuhun City and went unimpeded to the core area of ​​the Wuhun Hall. Using his former status as an honorary elder of the Wuhun Hall, he entered the archives and copied down a lot of Wuhun theoretical knowledge.

However, the papal decree was both its strength and its weakness.

Papal edicts are of great importance; they signify the Pope's presence and represent supreme authority.

All those under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall and below the Pope must respectfully bow upon seeing the Pope's decree, treating it as if the Pope himself were present.

There are only four Papal Decrees in the entire Douluo Continent, held by the Pope of the Spirit Hall and the sect leaders of the three upper sects respectively. Moreover, each one is specially made and should not be used lightly in principle.

The appearance of the papal decree quickly alarmed the commander of the city's garrison knights in charge of city defense, and the news was reported to Bibidon in the Papal Palace.

At that time, Bibi Dong still cherished some old feelings and was rather soft-hearted. She turned a blind eye to Yu Xiaogang's sneaky behavior and chose to let it go, allowing him to enter the archives to copy knowledge.

Just because Bibi Dong lets things go does not mean that others will let them go.

Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang ran into Ye Qifeng, who sent people to drag him out of the archives, cripple his legs, and finally throw him out of Wuhun City like a dead fish.

Even the papal decree granted to him by Tang Hao was confiscated.

Therefore, before setting off for Wuhun City, Yu Xiaogang came to see Ning Fengzhi, his purpose being to borrow the Pope's Decree held by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Tian Dou Royal Hunting Grounds

An exclusive camp specially arranged for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After being announced by the gatekeeper, Yu Xiaogang finally met Ning Fengzhi.

In the reception room, Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat, while Yu Xiaogang sat in the guest seat below. As always, the Sword Douluo, whose figure resembled a sword, stood beside Ning Fengzhi, his sharp gaze sending a chill down Yu Xiaogang's spine.

"Master, what's going on?"

Ning Fengzhi, holding his teacup, looked at Yu Xiaogang carrying his luggage, looking like he was about to embark on a long journey, and asked with slight surprise.

"Oh, I plan to go to Spirit City to meet Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall."

Yu Xiaogang answered frankly, since he would need Ning Fengzhi's help later, it was better to tell the truth.

"What? You're going to see Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall?"

Yu Xiaogang's words seemed rather alarming. As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi was so shocked that he almost spat out his tea. The swordsman next to him also couldn't help but sharpen his swords.

"Sect Leader Ning, it's like this..."

Meeting the surprised gazes of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, Yu Xiaogang explained his purpose.

"So, your trip to Spirit City was to obtain the cultivation method for twin spirits from Bibi Dong?"

Ning Fengzhi paused in his tea-drinking, his gaze fixed intently on Yu Xiaogang. "Are you sure she has mastered this method?"

"Yes."

Yu Xiaogang nodded:

"As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sect Leader Ning must know that Bibi Dong, like Tang San, possesses twin martial souls, right?"

Ning Fengzhi neither denied it nor spoke, but simply looked at Yu Xiaogang quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Looking at Ning Fengzhi's calm expression, Yu Xiaogang already understood what was going on. He smiled slightly and continued speaking as if nothing had happened:

"Bibi Dong possesses the twin martial souls Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, making her the second person in nearly a hundred years to possess twin martial souls."

"In other words, before Bibi Dong, there was another person with twin martial souls, but that person's fate seemed to be bad. He eventually died due to the energy conflict of the multiple soul rings of his martial souls."

"But Bibi Dong was different. Not only did she live a good life, but she also cultivated at an extraordinary speed to reach the level of Title Douluo, thereby ascending to the supreme position of Pope of the Spirit Hall."

"Therefore, I conclude that Bibi Dong has already solved the problem of the additional attributes of the twin martial souls and multiple soul rings exceeding the body's tolerance limit. The correct cultivation method for twin martial souls is in her hands."

After listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes, but they didn't seem particularly surprised.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has its own information channels, and it has naturally collected a lot of information about Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, including descriptions of twin spirits.

As for whether Bibi Dong has mastered the cultivation method of twin martial souls, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has never made a definitive conclusion, but there are some guesses, which are similar to what Yu Xiaogang is saying now.

Ning Fengzhi's heart stirred slightly as he looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was sipping tea to moisten his throat:

"According to the master, only Bibi Dong has successfully cultivated the Twin Martial Soul technique, and she also possesses the cultivation method. So, how does the master intend to obtain it?"

"You should know that the Spirit Hall would never allow such an important cultivation method to be passed on."

Yu Xiaogang put down his teacup and smiled confidently:

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at him in surprise:

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"this"

Yu Xiaogang was momentarily speechless. After thinking for a moment, he recounted his past relationship with Bibi Dong to the two people in the reception room, and finally said:

"Given our past relationship, I believe she will agree."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang mention that he had once had a romantic relationship with Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo both wore expressions of utter disbelief and disgust.

It should be noted that Bibi Dong, as a woman, cultivated to become a Title Douluo, overpowering all others and ascending to the highest throne of the Spirit Hall, becoming the youngest pope in the history of the Spirit Hall. She is also hailed as the most powerful leader in the history of the Spirit Hall and the most outstanding pope in all generations.

Such a brilliant and talented woman is a model of beauty, wisdom, and strength, and holds an indescribable special place in the hearts of countless soul masters.

Even Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and a titled Douluo powerhouse like Sword Douluo, couldn't help but praise Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, whenever he mentioned her, even though she was his opponent.

Unexpectedly, such a perfect and incredibly talented woman had actually dated Yu Xiaogang, a useless Great Soul Master.

What is this if not a defilement?

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.

It's no wonder they reacted so strongly after hearing about this, mainly because Qian Xunji had kept the news under wraps so well that not many people knew about it.

Even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had only heard some vague rumors, but they did not know that the person who had been in love with Bibi Dong was the useless master Yu Xiaogang in front of them.

Ning Fengzhi's eyebrows twitched, barely managing to suppress the nausea rising in his heart.

Even with Yu Xiaogang sporting a buzz cut, a dark and stiff face, a unkempt beard, and an unkempt appearance, his brows furrowed involuntarily, as if giving a pointed hint:

"However, Master, I still have to ask one more question: are you sure Bibi Dong will definitely see you?"

"After all, your relationship only extends to the past."

"But time can erase everything. Twenty years later, things would probably be completely different."

Yu Xiaogang failed to notice the unusual expression in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, nor did he understand the meaning behind Ning Fengzhi's words. Instead, he earnestly made a request to Ning Fengzhi:

"In order to prevent Bibi Dong from disregarding our friendship and refusing to see me, I hope Sect Leader Ning can grant me something."

Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment:

"What is it?"

Yu Xiaogang slowly uttered three words:

"Papal Decree"

Ning Fengzhi immediately realized:

"So, Grandmaster, you came to see me earlier because you wanted to use the Papal Decree, which is in the possession of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, to meet with Bibi Dong in Wuhun City?"

"Yes."

Yu Xiaogang nodded calmly and said confidently:

"As long as I have the Pope's decree in hand, I will definitely be able to see Bibi Dong when I go to Wuhun City this time."

"As long as I see Bibi Dong, I have a way to persuade her to give me the cultivation method of twin martial souls."

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang looked earnestly at Ning Fengzhi, hoping that Ning Fengzhi would immediately take out the papal decree and hand it to him.

However, Ning Fengzhi did not agree to him immediately. Instead, he frowned, took a sip of tea, and carefully considered and weighed the pros and cons.

The papal decree is a matter of great importance and not just anyone can borrow it.

What if it falls into Yu Xiaogang's hands and he uses it for other bad things, or what if Yu Xiaogang breaks up with Bibi Dong and angers the Spirit Hall?

That would be bad.

When that time comes, the Spirit Hall will definitely cause trouble for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After all, there are only a few papal decrees, and each one is specially made, so you can tell at a glance which faction it comes from.

However, the cultivation method of twin martial souls is very important, and Ning Fengzhi himself is also very interested in it. If he can get his hands on it, then the twin martial souls will no longer be any secret in front of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

To be honest, Ning Fengzhi was quite tempted.

However, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, mainly because he was afraid that things would be exposed and that the Spirit Hall, like a wolfhound, would follow the scent and bite him and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's hesitant expression, Yu Xiaogang quickly spoke up to persuade him:

"I have to give it a try no matter what. Besides, if I succeed, it will be a good thing for both Tang San and Sect Leader Ning, won't it?"

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi remained unmoved, Sword Douluo also adopted a detached and indifferent attitude.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and he was somewhat displeased, but he dared not show it in front of the two of them. He could only secretly think of what other excuse he could use to persuade Ning Fengzhi to lend the papal decree.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly continued from where he left off:

"Moreover, my purpose in meeting Bibi Dong this time is not only for the cultivation method of twin martial souls, but also for the super limit absorption method of spirit rings mastered by the Spirit Hall."

"Sect Leader Ning, you wouldn't want your sect's disciples to fall behind in terms of spirit ring configuration, would you?"

As expected, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo reacted upon hearing this, both turning to look at him.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, "This is promising," and immediately struck while the iron was hot, saying in a seductive tone:

"It's no secret that the Spirit Hall has mastered the method of absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit. This can be seen from the spirit rings of those girls in the Spirit Hall's second team."

"If we could also bring this method over, wouldn't it have extraordinary significance for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"After all, this is an excellent method for cultivating young Soul Master talents."

"Sect Leader Ning, what do you think?"

Yu Xiaogang truly lived up to his title of "Master," speaking with utmost sincerity, his words seemingly entirely for the benefit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's lips twitched slightly as they listened, yet they had no choice but to carefully consider his proposal.

"Alright, I agree. The papal decree can be lent to the master."

After some deliberation, Ning Fengzhi finally compromised.

Once he made a decision, he immediately became decisive and swift, showing no trace of his previous hesitation. He took out the Papal Decree held by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and directly stuffed it into Yu Xiaogang's hand:

"The papal decree is here; please take it, Master."

"However, Master, if you successfully obtain the secrets of twin martial souls and the super-limit absorption soul ring, I hope you can inform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as soon as possible."

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly accepted the papal decree, his face beaming with joy. Without even hearing what Ning Fengzhi was saying, he readily agreed.

"Definitely, definitely!"

The papal decree is in hand; the objective has been achieved.

Yu Xiaogang was in a hurry to get to Wuhun City, so he didn't linger. He bid farewell to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo and turned to leave.

Watching Yu Xiaogang's departing figure, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo both had rather strange expressions on their faces.

A moment later, Sword Douluo withdrew his gaze and looked at Ning Fengzhi:

"Fengzhi, you just lent him the papal decree like that? What if..."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to interrupt him, his eyes flickering slightly:

"It's just a little risk, but if it succeeds, the benefits we'll reap will be enormous."

"This risk is worth taking."

"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing."

Sword Douluo nodded and hummed in agreement, then changed the subject, asking in a slightly gossipy tone:

"Speaking of which, regarding what Yu Xiaogang said..."

"Fengzhi, do you think it's true or false?"
