Chapter 69 The finals begin

Yu Xiaogang was not angry despite Bibi Dong's merciless ridicule.

In order to help Tang San, he was willing to swallow his anger.

"Your Holiness, to be honest, I have accepted a disciple. The child is extremely talented and has twin martial spirits like you. I hope to train him into a powerful warrior."

Bibi Dong smiled coldly, and then taunted:
"Is this your purpose? Aren't you a master of theory? There are things you don't know. But why should I help you? To let you train a strong man to oppose me?"

"No, he won't go against you."

"Really? His surname is Tang, and he possesses both the Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer spirits. Yu Xiaogang, tell me that such a person won't go against me. Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Yu Xiaogang was shocked.

"You already know him?"

"What do you think the Spirit Hall is? Of course I know it. I would rather believe that you are here to beg me to let that evil creature go."

"Bibi Dong, what are you going to do to him?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's anxious look, a hint of pride appeared on Bibi Dong's face.

"I think you should also know that Tang San is a combination of Tang Hao and a soul beast. He might harm the people in the future. Of course, the Spirit Hall must get rid of such an evildoer. Don't waste your energy. I have sent people to kill him halfway. The evildoer may have died."

After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

He had accompanied Tang San for seven or eight years, watched Tang San grow step by step, and devoted a lot of effort to Tang San. He really couldn't accept that Tang San would leave him like this.

Yu Xiaogang stood up abruptly and looked at Bibi Dong angrily.

"Bibi Dong, since you know that he is the son of Haotian Douluo, you still dare to attack him. Aren't you afraid of being retaliated by Haotian Douluo?!"

"Tang Hao?! I'm afraid of him?! You idiot, you probably don't know how strong I am now. Tang Hao killed my teacher Qian Xunji and hid away like a turtle. Is there a problem with me killing his son Tang San?"

"Bibi Dong, you..."

Yu Xiaogang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Twenty years can change a lot of things.

He clearly felt that the beautiful woman in front of him was no longer the Bibi Dong he knew.

"Bibi Dong, you've changed. You've become so vicious. I almost don't recognize you anymore."

"Really? You have changed too, actually defending the evil created by a human soul master and a soul beast."

Just then, a guard walked in.

Bibi Dong was a little angry.

"Didn't I give the order that no one is allowed to disturb me without my permission?!"

"Please forgive me, Your Holiness. The two elders said they have something important to discuss and are waiting at the door."

"Let them in."

Bibi Dong smiled, looking forward to the good news the two elders would bring back.

Yu Xiaogang looked nervous and his heart was beating wildly.

Yueguan and Guimei walked into the hall with solemn expressions.

Bibi Dong saw the clue and her face changed.

"What? Didn't you two complete your mission?"

Yue Guan replied:
"Your Holiness, we could have completed the mission, but something unexpected happened."

While speaking, Yue Guan glanced at Yu Xiaogang standing beside him, as if he didn't want him to hear what had happened.

Bibi Dong smiled and was not angry about the two elders' defeat.

"Yu Xiaogang, congratulations, that evil creature has escaped for the time being. However, Spirit Hall will not let him go."

Yu Xiaogang was completely furious.

"Bibi Dong, you actually attacked my beloved disciple. From now on, I will break off relations with you! If anything happens to him, I will use all my strength in my life to avenge you and Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong also became angry when she heard Yu Xiaogang say such cruel words.

"Yu Xiaogang, remember what you just said! You and that evil creature Tang San are indeed the same kind of people. Not only will I kill Tang San, I will also torture Liu Erlong! You shamelessly fall in love with your own sister, which is really the biggest joke in the world! I will make you, a heartless beast, feel unprecedented pain!"

Yu Xiaogang's old face turned red after being mercilessly mocked by Bibi Dong. He felt angry and ashamed.

"Bibi Dong, you are really crazy!"

"Yeah, I'm crazy! Get out of here now before I kill you!"

Yu Xiaogang glared at Bibi Dong, then left without looking back.

The empty hall was terribly quiet, and the only sound was Bibi Dong's rapid breathing. Yue Guan and Gui Mei had never seen Bibi Dong lose her composure like this, and they were so scared that they dared not even breathe.

After a while, Bibi Dong calmed down.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Yue Guan replied:
"Your Holiness, we almost succeeded. Unexpectedly, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Dao Chen Xin were all there, and they all wanted to help Tang San, so..."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? You are so brave that you dare to go against me. I understand. You two elders have worked hard. Please go down first."

Bibi Dong smiled somewhat grimly, with no intention of blaming Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

The two elders looked at each other, feeling lucky to have escaped the disaster, and then left the hall together.

Looking at the empty and cold hall, and recalling the moment she met Yu Xiaogang just now, Bibi Dong's heart ached again.

"Xiao Gang, after twenty years, are you still so heartless? Why? Why do you treat me like this? I was just angry and I really don't want to hurt you."

~~~~~~~~
Yue Guan returned to the mansion and sent someone to find Yan.

When Yan saw Yue Guan, he noticed something strange in his expression.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Is the task not completed?"

Yue Guan nodded.

"We did not complete the secret mission that the Pope gave us. However, she did not blame us."

"Then why?"

Yueguan stood up and whispered in Yan's ear:

"To tell you the truth, the Pope sent me and Lao Gui to rob and kill a man. We didn't kill him, but we unexpectedly discovered that those young soul masters also had immortal grass in their bodies, and they were with Dugu Bo."

Yan was stunned for a moment.

He knew that Yue Guan was referring to the Shrek Seven Devils.

In fact, he had already expected that Tang San would go to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but he was unable to stop it from happening.

Fortunately, he had picked all the top-quality magical herbs, and what was left were only ordinary magical herbs.

"Teacher, those magical herbs might have been picked from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."

"Yeah. They are just some ordinary magical herbs, and they can't be compared with the ones you picked."

"Besides this, did you find any other abnormalities?"

Yue Guan thought about it and asked with some doubt:
"It seems not. Why are you asking?"

"It's okay, I was just asking casually."

Yan thought that the two elders did not detect the soul beast aura on Xiao Wu, probably because Tang San used some substitute. With Tang San's understanding of medicine, it did not seem difficult to do this.

Yue Guan suddenly sighed.

"Those few ordinary immortal herbs are nothing. What I'm worried about is that more than just the three of us may know about that treasure land. Dugu Bo may have taken others there. If that's the case, the remaining ordinary immortal herbs may fall into the hands of others."

"Don't worry too much. The best immortal herbs are in our hands. Without the nourishment of Yin-Yang Eye Spring Water, those ordinary immortal herbs will not grow into top-grade immortal herbs."

"You're right."

Yue Guan suddenly thought of something happy.

"This time, Dugu Bo has offended the Pope. I'm afraid he will be dead soon. After he dies, the secret garden will be ours."

"Ah."

Yan knew that Tang San had also been there. If he wanted to completely occupy the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, he had to get rid of Tang San.

~~~~~~~~
Under the leadership of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, the fifteen participating teams of the Tiandou Empire entered Wuhun City.

Three days later, the finals officially began.

Early in the morning, all participating academies arrived at the competition venue under the guidance of specialists from the Spirit Hall.

There are a total of thirty-three teams participating in the finals, and each college has a separate rest area surrounding the competition venue.

According to the rules of the competition, the finals have a total of five rounds, a single-elimination system. As long as any round is lost, the competition is over.

The Wuhun Hall Academy team, the Tiandou Royal Academy team and the Xingluo Royal Academy team, the three teams that were recommended had a bye in the first round.

So, Yan has no game today.

However, he still came to the stadium with his teammates to watch the match between the other thirty teams.

【Thank you for your support. Wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival! 】
