Chapter 131
In front of the Papal Palace.
"Halt! The Papal Palace is ahead. Take another step closer and you will be killed without mercy." Two silver-armored paladin knights, wielding longswords, blocked Yu Xiaogang's path, while the remaining hundred paladin knights also raised their longswords in unison.
Despite being terrified inside, Yu Xiaogang remained outwardly calm in the face of these Guardian Knights who were clearly stronger than him.
The pride of the theoretical master prevented him from being intimidated. He stood ramrod straight, raised his hand, and revealed a token.
It was a dark, black token, its material unknown. The token consisted of six patterns: in the center was a sword pointing downwards, above which was a crown; to the left and right were a hammer and a dragon, respectively. In addition, there was a flower and an incomplete human figure.
The lead paladin stepped forward and immediately recognized that what Yu Xiaogang held was the Papal Decree.
The Papal Decree is the highest-ranking token issued by the Spirit Hall to non-Spirit Hall personnel. Aside from the Spirit Hall itself, there are only three Papal Decrees outside of it, each held by one of the three upper sects.
Holding the Pope's decree allows one to exercise the power of an elder of the Spirit Hall.
All those belonging to the Spirit Hall shall regard the Pope's decree as if they were the Pope himself.
Under the oppressive power of the papal decree, the paladin knight knelt down on one knee before Yu Xiaogang with a thud, saying, "Greetings, Elder."
Then, the other hundred paladins followed suit, kneeling down in unison and making the same gesture.
Looking at the group of temple knights kneeling before him, Yu Xiaogang felt a secret pleasure. This feeling of being worshipped was really great!
……
A dozen or so breaths passed, and Yu Xiaogang remained immersed in his own world.
The paladins remained kneeling, and since Yu Xiaogang didn't tell them to get up, they had no choice but to continue kneeling.
Someone couldn't help but peek up. They saw Yu Xiaogang with his head held high, nostrils pointing upwards, and eyes slightly squinted, as if he were dozing off.
This person immediately felt displeased. What kind of nonsense was this? Even His Holiness the Pope himself had never made anyone kneel down. What was this little Great Soul Master pretending to be...?
No one knew what Yu Xiaogang was thinking at that moment. He enjoyed the feeling of being respected, which made him feel great. It even reduced a lot of the depression in his heart. Simply put, he had been oppressed for a long time, and his mentality had become abnormal and distorted.
He raised his head, looking down at the kneeling paladins before him, a smug smile playing on his lips. A sense of superiority welled up within him, as if these people were kneeling not for the papal decree, but for him, Yu Xiaogang.
The knights' legs were numb from kneeling before Yu Xiaogang finally spoke, "Summon Bibi Dong to see me."
"Yes, Elder." The leading temple knight was furious inside, but he still had to put on a respectful posture.
"Hehe, Yu Xiaogang, you're so arrogant!" A mocking voice came from behind.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Yu Xiaogang turned around and saw Lin Ye. He was a little flustered at first, but then he realized that this was the Spirit Hall. No matter how bold the other party was, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble on the Spirit Hall's territory.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang gradually calmed down.
Then, a question popped into his mind.
What is Lin Ye doing here?
Yu Xiaogang's mind raced. He had no idea why Lin Ye had come to the Spirit Hall.
However, Lin Ye and Tang Hao had a grudge against each other, and the Spirit Hall also had a conflict with Tang Hao.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend; these two sides could very well end up together!
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Yu Xiaogang's spine.
No, we absolutely cannot let this person get together with the Spirit Hall. Not only should we prevent them from getting together, we should also try our best to create conflict between Lin Ye and the Spirit Hall.
Yu Xiaogang's mind worked quickly, and a plan had already formed in his head.
He raised his hand and pointed at Lin Ye and his group, then said to the paladins behind him, "I order you by papal decree to arrest these people."
That's right, this is the method Yu Xiaogang came up with to sabotage the relationship between Lin Ye and the Spirit Hall.
With Xue Di by Lin Ye's side, Yu Xiaogang didn't expect these Soul Temple knights to actually capture these people, but as long as they made a move, the feud would be set in stone.
As for his personal safety, Yu Xiaogang said he was not worried.
This is the territory of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall has a profound foundation and is full of experts. No one dares to provoke it.
In Yu Xiaogang's imagination, Lin Ye certainly wouldn't dare to make a move in front of the Papal Palace, and in the end, he could only slink away in disgrace.
But he will definitely hold a grudge.
In this way, it will be impossible for the two sides to get back together.
Yu Xiaogang's lips curled up, almost to his ears. This trick of using someone else to do his dirty work was truly ingenious!
Strangely, after he finished speaking, none of the temple guards made a move.
The Temple Knights looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he were an idiot.
What a joke! Lin Ye is standing next to Qian Renxue, the daughter of the Pope.
This guy must be an idiot, otherwise why would he let them capture the Pope's daughter?
Yu Xiaogang frowned when he realized no one was making a move. He waved the papal decree in his hand and shouted, "Arrest them. Don't make me say it a third time."
However, the temple knights remained unmoved, still looking at Yu Xiaogang as if he were an idiot.
At this point, Yu Xiaogang also realized that something seemed amiss.
Seeing that he had finished his performance, Lin Ye smiled and stepped forward, snatched the papal decree from Yu Xiaogang's hand, and tossed it to Qian Renxue.
"This papal decree was given to him by Tang Hao, so you can take it back."
The papal decree had been stolen, and Yu Xiaogang was getting anxious. "Give the papal decree back to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ye slapped him hard across the face, knocking him to the ground.
That slap was so powerful and heavy; in my past life, it would have cost me a lot of money.
Lin Ye didn't stop there. He went up to Yu Xiaogang and stepped on the old man's face.
"You piece of trash, you think you can catch me? I'll show you what happens when you try to catch me, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you, you old piece of trash."
Immediately afterwards...
Punch after punch, kick after kick.
Yu Xiaogang clutched his head, screaming in agony.
This scene pleased the paladin knights, and they were also annoyed with Yu Xiaogang for making them kneel for so long.
After beating Yu Xiaogang until his face was bruised and swollen, Lin Ye took out a large iron cage, threw Yu Xiaogang into it, and then locked it.
The cage wasn't big; Yu Xiaogang could only squat inside, with practically no room to move around.
Lin Ye smiled and put the iron cage containing Yu Xiaogang into the dragon-patterned jade pendant.
If Yu Xiaogang wanted to arrest him, then it's perfectly reasonable for him to arrest Yu Xiaogang in return.
Bibi Dong, who rushed over after receiving the news, happened to witness this scene.
"Xiao Gang, release Xiao Gang at once."
In her haste, Bibi Dong didn't have time to think and flashed like lightning, instantly arriving in front of him.
Without hesitation, she reached out and grabbed Lin Ye, trying to rescue Yu Xiaogang.
However, almost at the same time, the Snow Maiden flashed in front of Lin Ye, raised her jade hand lightly, and struck out with a palm, instantly repelling Bibi Dong with powerful soul force.
Bibi Dong lost her balance and staggered back more than ten steps, her blood and qi churning within her body.
Bibi Dong was incredibly shocked. This woman was so strong; with her level 97 strength, she had been easily defeated.
