Chapter 194: Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's actions, Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong's expressions were extremely ugly.

The Pope Palace represents the Pope, and the holder must be an Elder of the Spirit Hall.

The Token in Yu Xiaogang's hand came from Tang Hao; using it to bully others in his hands is a loss of face for the Spirit Hall.

Sure enough, there was much discussion in the spectator stands.

Many people were saying that the rules set by the Spirit Hall itself were being broken by its own Elder!

It is highly probable that Bibi Dong will not come out to refute the rumors; she would love for the Spirit Hall to fall into an irredeemable state.

In this way, the reputation lost by the Spirit Hall this time is completely irreparable.

Salas, who had been watching the show, frowned.

He did not know the origin of the Pope Token in Yu Xiaogang's hand, but the other party had a very deep friendship with the Pope Bibi Dong in the past, so it was likely a real Pope Token!

As a member of the Spirit Hall, since an Elder has spoken, he cannot sit idly by.

Salas stood up with a smile and pressed his hands down: "For the sake of this seat, let's take Tang San and Ma Hongjun away first. They are the direct or indirect culprits behind Wang Teng's death; let everyone else go."

As he spoke, he looked at Xue Qinghe with a smile.

Regarding Yu Xiaogang's actions, Xue Qinghe felt very annoyed and dissatisfied. But he couldn't expose his identity for the sake of a piece of trash, could he?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, temporarily going along with Salas's idea.

Additionally, he also intended to ask Wu Qi later how to handle this matter.

The more privileges Yu Xiaogang enjoys with the Pope Token, the more the Spirit Hall's reputation is damaged; he cannot be allowed to act recklessly.

This time, Yu Xiaogang did not stop them.

The Pope Token in his hand is only useful against Salas; the Heaven Dou Empire can still choose not to give him face.

Offending Salas at this moment would certainly mean losing Shrek Academy's qualification to compete.

In the end, Tang San and Ma Hongjun were taken away.

Flender, hiding in the spectator stands, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Tang San is involved, both Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao will exert their influence behind the scenes. When that time comes, Ma Hongjun can be saved.

……

This farce attracted the eyes of countless people, so much so that no one paid attention to the subsequent matches, and they all waited in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture, waiting for the final verdict.

Most of the distinguished guests on the high seats had already left, intending to discuss the subsequent punishment.

"I'll go check the situation first; will everyone continue to stay here?" Wu Qi asked.

Everyone wanted to join in the excitement, but the details discussed by the organizing committee would not be easily made public.

Moreover, this was a farce involving the face of the Imperial Family; it would inevitably cause trouble if the details were easily learned.

Sun Buyu smiled and said: "Little Wu, go take a look. Just notify us if there is any situation; everyone else will continue to watch the matches."

On the other side, Flender and Liu Erlong hurriedly sought out Yu Xiaogang.

Liu Erlong was no longer young; she had no feelings for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and since the relationship between father and daughter had already hit rock bottom, Yu Luomian did not forcibly drag her away, only warning her a few times.

"Xiaogang, we must find a way to save Xiao San and the others," Liu Erlong said urgently.

Tang San is Xiao Wu's lover, and Xiao Wu is her goddaughter; both emotionally and logically, she had to save them.

Flender, however, did not dare to speak. After all, the killer was Ma Hongjun, and Tang San was at most just caught in the crossfire.

Yu Xiaogang's face was as dark as water, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter cannot be resolved in a short time; the Shrek team will definitely not be allowed to compete."

Of course, without Tang San and Ma Hongjun, the remaining six people could not form a team at all. With insufficient personnel, they would certainly be banned from competing!

If a great situation were to be ruined like this, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Yu Xiaogang arranged: "Flender, you go and stabilize the children first and handle the coordination with the organizers; Erlong and I will go to the Wuhun Shengdian."

He had not been paying attention to the match situation earlier and did not know that the culprit was Ma Hongjun, so he decided to save both, which would be giving face to this old friend.

……

Just as Wu Qi walked out of the arena, he was taken to a nearby corner by Xue Qinghe's guards.

The moment they met, Xue Qinghe said rapidly: "Brother Little Wu, to make a long story short, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Wu Qi did not state his position but instead asked Xue Qinghe back.

The latter indicated, "Someone must be held responsible for this accident. Yu Xiaogang will definitely protect Tang San at all costs; he has the Pope Token in his hand, and no one in Tiandou City can restrict him."

"The intention of this Palace and Bishop Salas is to let Ma Hongjun take responsibility for this matter and let it pass."

Taking action against Tang San would provoke Tang Hao's rage, which would benefit no one.

If they targeted Shrek Academy's quota, once Yu Xiaogang went to beg Bibi Dong, the latter would likely soften her heart.

Moreover, perhaps the Pope Token in Yu Xiaogang's hand was given by Bibi Dong herself.

When the time comes for Bibi Dong to overturn the case, the Imperial Family will surely lose all face, and it might even lead to an early war with the Spirit Hall.

Although Yu Xiaogang is a piece of trash, he is indeed a troublemaker.

Ultimately, his existence is a lingering problem from the previous era.

Wu Qi said: "Confiscating Yu Xiaogang's Pope Token is inevitable. I guess Grandpa Qian must have left a mark on the Pope Token to facilitate investigating its origin."

"Your Highness, I will write a letter back. Let Shrek Academy go for now; they will go to Wuhun Cheng sooner or later, and there will be plenty of opportunities to investigate and punish them then."

"As for the present, minimize the impact as much as possible. Just say that Ma Hongjun had a grudge against Wang Teng, and Wang Teng's actions on the field annoyed him, so he took the opportunity to kill him during the gap when Tang San's attack landed!"

Xue Qinghe did not decide whether to adopt this or not, just nodded slightly, then turned and quickly headed to the organizing committee.

Since it concerns an "Elder" of the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire side needs to discuss a countermeasure before coordinating and discussing it with Salas.

Wu Qi sneered in his heart.

According to the development of the original timeline, Yu Xiaogang will definitely go to the Pope Palace to ask Bibi Dong for the method of cultivating Twin Martial Souls.

When that time comes, someone will treat him well!

Without thinking too much, he immediately wrote a letter and had the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo send it to the Spirit Hall.

Wuhun Shengdian.

Yu Xiaogang had his hands behind his back, and with his bodyguard Liu Erlong in tow, he strode swaggeringly toward Wuhun Shengdian.

The guards at the entrance saw this, pointed their spears directly at them, and shouted, "Halt, who are you!"

Yu Xiaogang took out the Pope Token and cursed angrily, "Are you blind?"

The temple guards had some knowledge and recognized this as the Pope Token; they were immediately drenched in cold sweat and trembling with fear.

Yu Xiaogang kicked one of them aside and walked inside with his head held high.

Salas sensed his aura and quickly came to greet him, "This subordinate pays respects to Elder Yu."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at him without answering and sat down in the main seat on his own.

Salas feigned nervousness, stood before him, and said, "Elder Yu, Wang Teng is dead after all; reasonably and logically, there should be an explanation. You cannot slap the face of the Spirit Hall, can you?"

Yu Xiaogang truly did not dare to act recklessly.

Firstly, the Pope Token was not his to begin with; the situation had been urgent, so he had taken it out to protect himself.

Secondly, if the matter were to blow up, someone would inevitably investigate the backgrounds of Tang San and Ma Hongjun; once exposed, Tang Hao would not let him off.
