"Ah—"
Yu Xiaogang's body curled into a ball, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, staining the cloth on his chest red.
"Ugh… stop… you… I am an Elder of Spirit Hall…"
His voice was trembling and weak, but in response, another merciless knee strike heavily landed on his spine.
Bones made a sound of being overwhelmed, Yu Xiaogang roared in pain, his hands clawing at the ground, knuckles white from the effort.
"Useless!" a Hall Knight sneered, lifting his foot and stepping on Yu Xiaogang's wrist, grinding it fiercely.
Yu Xiaogang convulsed all over, his heart-wrenching screams unending.
The Hall Knights turned a deaf ear, punches and kicks rained down, each blow filled with anger.
They were Spirit Masters at least at the Spirit Ancestor level, yet they had been tricked into kneeling by a fraud; this was a humiliation for them.
This humiliation naturally needed to be repaid with Yu Xiaogang's blood.
Gradually, Yu Xiaogang's consciousness became blurred, blood snaked across the ground, and only continuous wails echoed in the empty square outside the palace.
A severe beating almost took half his life.
"Alright, stop." Hu Liena knew that Yu Xiaogang must have some connection with her teacher, but seeing Xiao Ze like this, it was clear that Xiao Ze wanted to deal with Yu Xiaogang.
So she decided to teach him a lesson first.
"Take him to the Supreme Pontiff Palace and find a healing Spirit Master to treat him slightly," Hu Liena commanded.
"Understood." Although the Hall Knights did not know what Her Holy Maiden was going to do, it had nothing to do with them.
Soon, Yu Xiaogang, half-dead, stood shakily at the entrance of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
He stared fixedly at Hu Liena, wishing he could eat her flesh and drink her blood.
He had been beaten so badly, all because of her!!
He must make Bibi Dong cripple her, and make her die!!
Hiss… it hurts so much, they didn't completely heal me, damn it!
Hu Liena directly pushed open the door of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Teacher, Yu Xiaogang is here," Hu Liena said.
Bibi Dong heard this, put down the matters in her hand, and looked up.
She saw that Yu Xiaogang still had a lot of bloodstains on his body, frowned, and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Xiaogang's heart rejoiced; it seemed Dong'er still loved him very much, immediately feeling distressed for him.
He immediately made a small report: "Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, your disciple actually let those Hall Knights beat me. I am an Elder of Spirit Hall; this is insubordination."
He would not say he wanted Hu Liena to be punished; he just wanted to see how important he was to Bibi Dong now.
The heavier the punishment, the higher his status.
"Nana, what happened?" Bibi Dong asked.
Hu Liena was very familiar with Bibi Dong, having grown up with her.
Such a teacher meant she wasn't angry, and Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief: "Teacher, Yu Xiaogang was holding Tang Hao's Supreme Pontiff Token and wanted to enter Spirit Hall."
"Oh?" Bibi Dong was stunned upon hearing this, and her scepter heavily struck the ground.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly had a bad feeling: "Dong…"
"Presumptuous!" Bibi Dong's scepter struck heavily, and the entire hall seemed to shake.
Her voice was bone-chillingly cold, echoing in every corner of the hall.
Yu Xiaogang stiffened all over, looked up into those cold eyes, and a bad premonition immediately rose in his heart.
"Tang Hao is an enemy of our Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang, how dare you enter Spirit Hall with his Supreme Pontiff Token?" Bibi Dong's lips curved into a sneering arc, "It seems you truly don't regard Spirit Hall as anything!"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "No… I…"
However, Bibi Dong did not allow him to explain, she raised her jade finger, directly interrupting him.
"Now that Tang Hao is dead, this Supreme Pontiff Token should be abolished!" Her eyes were sharp, and her tone was grim, "And you, how dare you use an abolished token to bluff and bluster, do you really think Spirit Hall has no one left?!"
Cold sweat seeped from Yu Xiaogang's forehead, his lips trembled as he tried to explain, but before the words could leave his mouth, Bibi Dong had already waved her hand coldly.
"Guards!" Her red lips parted slightly, "Drag Yu Xiaogang out and beat him!"
"No… you can't do this to me…" Yu Xiaogang's pupils constricted, his voice filled with disbelief.
Two Hall Knights had already stepped forward, their hands grabbing his shoulders, dragging him out mercilessly.
"Bibi Dong! You—"
His struggles and shouts abruptly ceased, and the palace doors closed heavily.
Soon, muffled thuds and suppressed cries of pain came from outside the hall.
Before long, Yu Xiaogang was dragged into the palace like a dead dog.
Bibi Dong snorted coldly; now, the more she looked at Yu Xiaogang, the more disgusted she felt.
During this time, she had used many truth peanuts, which worked on everyone.
This indicated that there were significant issues between Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang likely spoke no truth.
"Supreme Pontiff… you… why are you doing this!" Yu Xiaogang felt as if his waist was about to break, cold sweat pouring down; he felt he no longer understood Bibi Dong.
"Do I need a reason to hit you! Tell me, Yu Xiaogang, what business do you have coming to our Spirit Hall?" Bibi Dong said coldly.
Yu Xiaogang's heart chilled greatly as he saw Bibi Dong's icy gaze.
It seemed he wouldn't get the cultivation method for twin spirits today.
"No… I was just passing by." Yu Xiaogang lowered his head.
"Oh? Passing by? Passing by requires a Supreme Pontiff Token to bluff and bluster. It seems you don't want to tell the truth."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong took out a truth peanut: "You should be very familiar with this, shouldn't you?"
Yu Xiaogang looked up, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"It seems you are very familiar."
"You… how do you have this!! Xiao Ze came, Xiao Ze was here!!!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot.
He couldn't understand why Xiao Ze would come here!
No wonder he hadn't seen Xiao Ze during this period; it was completely illogical. He hadn't expected him to be chasing him here.
"That has nothing to do with you. If you eat this peanut obediently and say something that satisfies me, you can still live. Otherwise…" Bibi Dong curved her lips into a cruel smile.
Yu Xiaogang trembled all over, "Don't! I… I really was just passing by."
"Oh, it seems you still don't want to tell the truth."
"Guards, force it down his throat!!!"
Hu Liena was somewhat curious about what this peanut did; Yu Xiaogang looked very scared.
Two Hall Knights, holding the truth peanut, approached Yu Xiaogang, who was pressed to the ground.
His face was covered in blood, his clothes torn, yet he struggled desperately, his eyes bloodshot.
"No… you can't…" Yu Xiaogang's hoarse voice was filled with fear.
One of the Hall Knights sneered, grabbing his chin with a large hand.
