Chapter 161: Recklessness And The Revelation Of The Truth

"Don't look at me like that."

Gu Yi was completely indifferent to Yu Xiaogang's murderous gaze. He rummaged through his Spirit Tool and then took out a token identical to the one in Yu Xiaogang's hand.

"The Pope's Token?!"

The eyesight of a Spirit Douluo is as sharp as an eagle's, especially at such a close distance. The symbols on the token in Gu Yi's hand were clearly visible: a dragon, a tower, and a sword. The Pope's Token, of which there were only three in the entire world, now appeared in this very place — and two of them, at that, in the hands of people who should not have had them.

Yu Xiaogang was also shocked, having never expected Gu Yi to also possess a Pope's Token.

As for the one in his own hand, Yu Xiaogang knew its origin well. It came from his idol, Tang Hao, the one who killed the previous Pope. No matter what, he couldn't admit this. If he did, not only would he be unable to save Tang San, but he would also incriminate himself, gaining nothing in return.

But how did Gu Yi obtain his Pope's Token?

"How did you get your hands on that Pope's Token?" Yu Xiaogang asked, trying to turn the tables. He knew that only three Pope's Tokens existed. One was in his hand, another was with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and the third was with his father. Clearly, Gu Yi couldn't have obtained either of the remaining two.

What Yu Xiaogang didn't know was that his father had already been killed by Gu Yi. After his martial spirit was crippled, no one cared about him, and even when he died, Yu Xiaogang wasn't informed.

"Oh, this one?" Gu Yi seemed surprised. After all this time, did Yu Xiaogang still not know?

"It's a trophy. An old fool wanted to throw his life away, so I kindly obliged," Gu Yi said nonchalantly.

Yu Xiaogang staggered back, unable to believe what he was hearing as he stared at the token in Gu Yi's hand.

"What are you saying? What old fool?" Yu Xiaogang asked, his voice filled with disbelief. Despite having left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for decades, it was still his home. Yu Yuanzhen was his biological father, so the news deeply affected him.

"Salas, tell him," Gu Yi said, playing with the Pope's Token, losing interest in speaking further with Yu Xiaogang.

Salas glanced at Gu Yi, trembling slightly. This man was ruthless. He had killed one of the leaders of the three upper sects without hesitation. Salas would never forget the day he was forced to kneel, hearing the sound of his own bones breaking, while feeling immense pain yet unable to move. He never wanted to experience that again.

"A little over a year ago, Yu Yuanzhen came looking for Elder Gu to avenge the crippling of your martial spirit. The two fought a great battle outside the city, but in the end, Elder Gu returned to the academy unscathed, while Yu Yuanzhen's death was reported a few days later."

Yu Xiaogang could no longer stand. He took a few steps back before collapsing to the ground, tears falling silently as the room filled with an eerie silence.

A few seconds later, Yu Xiaogang raised his head, filled with hatred, and said, "Gu Yi, no matter what it takes, I will make you pay for this. I will see you buried alongside my father."

"Pfft!" Gu Yi couldn't help but laugh. Where did Yu Xiaogang get the audacity to say such things to him? Did he really think Gu Yi would be like Bibi Dong and spare him? It was wishful thinking.

In this world where the strong reign supreme, what power did Yu Xiaogang possess to make such threats? Especially to Gu Yi's face?

"Spending your entire life?" Gu Yi's eyes flashed, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of Yu Xiaogang, kicking him in the chest and pinning him to the ground underfoot. This all happened in a split second. Even Salas, the strongest person present, couldn't react in time.

"Should I just get rid of this trouble ahead of time?" Gu Yi pressed down harder with his foot.

"Isn't this master too stupid? Even if he wants revenge, now isn't the time to say it."

"That's it, I'll make sure my daughter drops out of school and joins Tianwen Academy. With such a powerful backer, there'll be no need to worry about getting spirit rings."

"Gu Yi is so ruthless. Not only did he cripple the man's martial spirit, but he also killed his father."

Some pitied Yu Xiaogang, while others exposed the truth.

"Don't talk if you don't know the situation. From what my friend's kid said, it was Yu Xiaogang who broke the rules first, trying to poach students from Tianwen Academy. He even intended to harm their students. That's why his martial spirit was crippled."

...

While people criticized Yu Xiaogang's foolishness and Gu Yi's cruelty, no one stood on Yu Xiaogang's side.

"Gu Yi, let him go," Flender said, preparing to step in, though he hesitated, still unwilling to directly confront Gu Yi.

Gu Yi ignored Flender, pressing his foot down even harder.

"L-let go..." Yu Xiaogang gasped, desperately trying to move Gu Yi's foot. But with his strength, there was no way he could make Gu Yi lift his foot.

Crack!

A sharp sound rang through the air. Gu Yi didn't even need to turn his head to know who it was. However, just as the blood-red vine was about to reach him, it was stopped by a barrier of air.

"Why couldn't you just wait patiently? Why come out now?" Gu Yi sighed. He had planned to toy with Yu Xiaogang a bit longer, but since they had already acted, there was no need to drag things out.

"You wanted evidence, right? Let me show you what power he's hiding inside."

In a flash, Gu Yi appeared in front of Tang San without warning. Over the past few days, Tang San had absorbed that power well, aided by his Mysterious Heaven Technique and Eight Spider Lances. Normally, no one would notice anything wrong.

"Stop!" Flender could no longer stand by. Spirit rings flashing, he activated his martial spirit's true form and charged at Gu Yi.

"Sigh," Gu Yi sighed, extending a hand toward Flender without even turning around. A massive ice crystal shot from Gu Yi's hand, freezing Flender in midair.

"Alright, now that the interruptions are dealt with, it's time for us," Gu Yi said.

The Evil Domain unfolded.

Before Tang San could react, an overwhelming surge of chaotic desires flooded his mind. His Mysterious Heaven Technique, which had been suppressing his bloodlust, could no longer hold on. His eyes took on a blood-red hue.

Blood Qi swirled around him, filled with not just human but also countless spirit beast auras. Tang San's body was like a furnace, refining all the power within it.
