Chapter 212: Yu Xiaogang: Donger still needs me too much!
"Bah! Coward! This old man thought he was going to fight for his life! He really is a good-for-nothing!"
Yang Wudi spat hatefully on the ground, his face full of lingering dissatisfaction.
Although he failed to thoroughly cut down that treacherous obstacle Tang Hao this time, when he had closed in during the chaos earlier, he had landed several solid, heavy elbow strikes on the man!
At the thought of that formerly high-and-mighty Clear Sky Douluo being elbowed by him until he groaned repeatedly, Yang Wudi felt incredibly satisfied!
Seeing Yang Wudi's comical appearance of not having fought his fill, Jiang Li chuckled and called out loudly,
"Alright, both Elders come back. Since that thief Tang Hao has fled with his tail between his legs, everyone rest and reorganize on the spot for a moment. We will continue our journey shortly!"
...
On the other side, as the earth-shattering commotion on the Tang Sect's end subsided, the black-clad men from Spirit Hall who were besieging the other academies also retreated rapidly like a receding tide.
Behind a massive rock, Master Yu tremblingly poked out his signature short-haired head, peering toward the Tang Sect's direction with a shifty, rat-like gaze.
However, when he discovered that Jiang Li and the others were not only unscathed but even had their clothes barely ruffled, his face instantly darkened so much it looked like it could drip ink.
'Damn it! How on earth did those good-for-nothings from Spirit Hall handle things?!"
" Yue Guan and Gui Mei are two dignified Super Douluos, yet they couldn't even deal with a group of children!"
'And that Tang Hao! He was once an idol This Master admired back in the day, yet now he's also such a good-for-nothing, failing to cause even a bit of substantial damage!"
Yu Xiaogang raged impotently in his heart, his face written with dissatisfaction, as if hating that the iron couldn't turn into steel.
In his extremely conceited logic, without Continents Number One Theory Master like himself strategizing behind the scenes, those people from Spirit Hall were simply a swarm of headless flies, unable to accomplish even a small matter like an assassination!
As expected, Donger still needs me too much!
Just as Yu Xiaogang straightened his back, preparing to strike a deep and wise pose, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin happened to walk over from a distance.
The two didn't even lift an eyelid, treating this posing Master as if he were thin air as they walked straight toward Ning Rongrong and the others.
The expression on Yu Xiaogang's face instantly froze: 'Damn that Ning Fengzhi! Damn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! How dare they ignore This Master like this! Just wait until we reach Spirit City, I'll show you!"
"Eh? Papa, Grandpa Sword! How was the battle over there?"
When Ning Rongrong saw the two return, her eyes instantly lit up like two little stars.
Even though they had been hiding on the outskirts earlier, they had clearly heard Yang Wudi's earth-shaking roar.
A father wanting to kill his son? She was truly too curious about such sensational gossip!
Ning Fengzhi irritably reached out and rubbed the top of Ning Rongrong's head: "Rongrong, put away your curiosity. There were no casualties over there. After all, that is the Tang Sect's internal family matter, and it's not appropriate for your father to intervene too much."
Next, Ning Fengzhi looked at Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing, switching to a Soul Power transmission to send his voice directly to them:
"You two girls, with Rongrong's personality that fears the world isn't in chaos, I'll have to trouble you to watch over her a bit more once we reach Spirit City. That place is not like Heaven Dou City; we absolutely cannot let her run wild."
Afterward, Ning Fengzhi sent a separate private message to Zhu Zhuqing, telling her that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already sent people to contact and pressure the Star Luo Imperial Family. Once this Soul Master Tournament ended, she, Zhu Zhuqing, would be considered a thorough Core Disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, having no further connection to the Star Luo Imperial Family or that useless person Dai Mubai.
Zhu Zhuqing accepted Ning Fengzhi's arrangements with extreme calm, and even felt a sense of relief in her heart.
As a member of the Shrek Team, she now saw through Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai, and that group of people very clearly.
Don't be fooled by Shrek's current surface configuration of two Soul Kings and one Soul Sect, which seemed like it could still intimidate people.
In reality, how much actual combat power remained was a huge question mark.
Moreover, how Shrek had stumbled their way to victory throughout this journey... if others didn't know, could they, the former team members, not know?
...
The various teams from the Heaven Dou Empire region cleaned up their respective losses on the spot, soothed the startled students, and set out once more on the official road toward Spirit City.
Although the leading teachers of the various academies were as clear as a mirror in their hearts, guessing that this ambush was definitely a Spirit Hall conspiracy against the Tang Sect, everyone chose with extreme tacit understanding to keep their mouths shut and avoid the topic.
When deities fight, it is the Mortals who suffer; no one wanted to court trouble at this critical juncture.
The convoy sped along the road.
After about half a day, a towering, magnificent, and holy-aura-emitting giant city finally appeared at the end of their vision.
Qian Renxue's eyes flickered slightly; she felt that there must be something she didn't know regarding this assassination encounter, so she had to return to the Hall of Worship immediately to verify it.
Thinking this, while wearing Xue Qinghe's skin, Qian Renxue put on an indignant look, "Exalted Jiang Li, since we have arrived at Spirit City, as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, I must go and find out what happened with the previous assassination!"
"Therefore, I will go ahead. We shall meet again later at our lodgings."
Seeing Qian Renxue acting as if it were a serious matter, Jiang Li did not expose her but followed her lead, saying, "In that case, I'll trouble Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"If Spirit Hall makes things difficult for you in any way, this seat will certainly help you get justice!"
...
After entering Spirit City, the people from the Tang Sect were the first to arrive at their designated hotel, seizing all available time to either rest or Cultivate.
In sharp contrast were the people from Shrek.
As soon as they entered the city, Dai Mubai found an opportunity to be alone with Master Yu and impatiently asked, "Teacher, when can you take your disciple to see the Pope?"
"I really want to make progress!"
Seeing his disciple in such a hurried state, Master Yu's habit of acting like a mentor flared up again.
He placed his hands behind his back, his nostrils pointing 45 degrees toward the sky, "Mubai, do not be anxious about this matter."
"You saw the previous attack as well. This Master must first go to the The Pope's Palace and ask Donger exactly what happened."
"Why the people sent out failed to deal a substantial blow to the Tang Sect's team."
"Once the matter is handled, your teacher will have Donger meet you privately!"
Seeing Master Yu speak with such apparent gravity, Dai Mubai nodded repeatedly.
Since he had already arrived in Spirit City, could the time to see the Pope be far off?
"Teacher, I understand!"
