Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 262: The Secret Chamber – Bibi Dong

At dawn the next day, all the tournament participants who had come to Spirit City had gathered outside the city gates, and reinforcements had already arrived.

On the way to the tournament, the Heaven Dou Empire's Royal Knights had suffered significant losses. As a precaution, Heaven Dou had sent reinforcements in advance to escort them back safely, fearing another ambush.

This time, Heaven Dou didn't hold back. They dispatched a full three thousand Royal Knights—not only to ensure the participants' safe return but also to intimidate any potential troublemakers.

At the same time, Heaven Dou spared no expense in launching a massive purge of the Fallen across its territory.

Xue Ye wanted to use bloodshed to remind these Fallen just who ruled the Heaven Dou Empire!

Attacking the future of the empire?

That was nothing short of declaring war on Heaven Dou!

There would be zero tolerance for such an act.

Meanwhile, to prevent a similar incident, the Star Luo Empire also began large-scale operations against the Fallen.

The Fallen being hunted were completely baffled. They had hidden themselves so deeply, never daring to reveal their presence, yet they were suddenly being targeted?

What the hell was going on?

At the same time, the Spirit Hall, under Bibi Dong's orders, also sent out large numbers of Holy Knights to hunt down the Fallen across the Douluo Continent!

The purging of these vermin had never stopped, but for some reason, more and more of them had been gathering.

Now, Spirit Hall was taking the blame for it!

Inside a secret chamber behind the Pope's Palace—

"Bibi Dong! What exactly do you want?!"

Yu Xiaogang looked like a ghost of his former self—his hair disheveled, his body covered in dust.

He had no idea why Bibi Dong had ordered his capture and imprisonment in this sealed chamber.

Seeing Bibi Dong's emotionless face, Yu Xiaogang started to panic.

In the past, all he had to do was call her "Dong'er," and she would immediately let her guard down.

But now, she seemed different!

The way she looked at him—it was as if she were looking at a corpse.

"What do I want?"

Bibi Dong murmured, then her lips curled slightly as she whispered, "No matter what I do, could it possibly be worse than what you did all those years ago?"

It was unclear whether she was asking Yu Xiaogang or herself.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's entire body trembled. His eyes widened in shock. Bibi Dong noticed every detail of his reaction.

Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned.

How did Bibi Dong know about what happened back then?!

No, impossible—absolutely impossible!

That incident was a tightly kept secret. Not even his own father, Yu Yuanzhen, knew the full truth. How could she possibly know?

The only one who had uncovered the truth—Qian Xunji—had been dead for years. So where had Bibi Dong learned it from?

And why had she never confronted him about it before?

Wait… ever since the Liu Erlong incident, Spirit Hall had cut off all financial support to him.

Could it be… was it Liu Erlong?

Yu Xiaogang's mind raced as he desperately tried to find a way out of this situation.

"Hah…"

"Yu Xiaogang, do you really think I'd still believe your nonsense?"

Bibi Dong sneered coldly.

Yu Xiaogang's whole body went numb. He hadn't even thought of a plan yet, and Bibi Dong wasn't giving him a chance at all!

Suddenly, a thought struck him. Right! Bibi Dong was only doing this because she still wanted to be with him! She must be testing him!

"Bibi Dong, you were the one who wronged me first!"

"I know you're only doing this because you want me, hmph…"

Yu Xiaogang snorted and continued, "Let me tell you, that's impossible!"

"Even if you capture my body, you will never have my heart!"

Bibi Dong fell silent.

Where did this guy get his confidence from?

How did he even dare to say such things?

She could hardly believe her ears—

"Capturing his body but not his heart?"

Disgusting.

Seeing Bibi Dong remain silent, Yu Xiaogang let out a breath of relief—he thought he had made the right gamble.

A woman like Bibi Dong, the more she couldn't have something, the more she would…

Living off a woman? He, Yu Xiaogang, was serious about it!

If he really had any self-respect, how could he still be holding onto two Elder Tokens?

One was given by Tang Hao, and the other was something Bibi Dong had once fought to obtain for him!

Even after everything, he still kept the Elder Token on him, proving that Bibi Dong was nothing more than a tool to him.

"Bibi Dong, as the Pope, I have no interest in listening to your nonsense."

After saying this, Bibi Dong casually waved her hand, and a whip appeared in her grasp.

"First, I'll beat you until you can't speak—then we can have a nice chat!"

As she spoke, a red light flickered in her eyes.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang panicked!

"No! You can't do this!"

"I am an Elder of Spirit Hall—you can't treat me like this!"

Snap!

Bibi Dong completely ignored his protests and struck down with the whip.

Hiss…

Yu Xiaogang sucked in a sharp breath—this pain was unbearable!

With only a spirit power of rank twenty-nine, if Bibi Dong truly used her full strength, even without her martial soul, he would probably be torn in half.

Time passed. No one knew how long it had been before Bibi Dong, seemingly a little tired, finally spoke:

"Yu Xiaogang, I won't let you die so easily. I will destroy everything you have!"

"Oh, by the way, weren't you hoping that Tang San would prove your theories?"

"A twin martial soul… but what a pity—he wasted it."

"In order to prevent your dear disciple from self-destructing, I personally assigned a Titled Douluo to protect him while he absorbed his spirit rings!"

"When the time comes for Tang San to break through, this Titled Douluo will assist him in absorbing two ten-year spirit rings. He definitely won't explode. And conveniently, it will prove your theory, won't it?"

"Assist?"

More like force Tang San to absorb ten-year spirit rings!

"No! Bibi Dong, you can't do this!"

The pain—this pain was unbearable!

Before, despite the physical agony, Yu Xiaogang had gritted his teeth and endured it without a sound—like a true man! But now, he could no longer remain silent.

Tang San was his disciple, the key to proving his theories to the world. If Tang San, after becoming a Spirit King, was forced to absorb only ten-year spirit rings, it wouldn't be proof—it would be a joke!

The most critical issue was that Tang San had twin martial souls. If he really only absorbed ten-year spirit rings…???

That would be a death sentence for both him and Tang San!

"Bibi Dong, I beg you, you must not do this! Whatever happened between us—I don't know how you found out—but fine, I admit it!"

"But Tang San is innocent! He's just my disciple—he…"

"Wait a moment, Bibi Dong, don't tell me… you don't know that Tang San is Tang Hao's son?"

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed, and he blurted it out.

With Tang Hao around, how could Tang San ever be in danger? Threatening him to absorb ten-year spirit rings? Impossible!

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression became strange.

Oh? So he just admitted it?

As for Tang Hao…
