Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 247 Yu Xiaogang's Prison Life
On the road.

Dugu Bo and Ke Jie got on the carriage of Ning Tianchen and others.

“How dare the Spirit Hall act like this? Aren’t they afraid of retaliation from the Heaven Dou Empire and the sects?” Ning Rongrong said hatefully.

Dugu Bo didn't find it strange. "This is indeed the style of Pope Bibi Dong. This woman is just a lunatic. It's not surprising what she does."

"Senior Dugu, are we still going to compete?" Oscar said with some concern: "The Spirit Hall dares to attack us. Once we are in their territory, won't they have the final say on life and death?"

Ning Tianchen shook his head. "The eyes of the entire continent are focused on Wuhun City. Even though ordinary people are not allowed to enter the city, there are still many soul masters coming here to watch the game."

"The Spirit Hall is not yet capable of covering the sky with one hand. At least, our trip is absolutely safe."

Ke Jie took over the conversation, "Many academies suffered some injuries in the battle just now. When we arrive at Wuhun City, I am worried that Wuhun Hall will target us maliciously. Therefore, I hope you can refrain from going out unless it is necessary. If you must go out, you must be accompanied by a teacher, or go out with a large group."

Qibao Academy has two Soul Kings, so it is definitely a strong contender for the championship.

If the Spirit Hall wants to do something shady, they will most likely target them.

……

Three days later, the convoys of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire arrived at the entrance of Wuhun City at the same time.

There was a long-standing feud between the two empires, and both sides refused to give in to each other. They blocked the city gate, and no one could enter the city first.

"The Spirit Hall guards are watching from the side, and seem to be very happy about the conflict between the two empires." Ning Tianchen stood on the top of the carriage, looking at the situation in the distance, and said quietly.

The two empires were arguing with each other, but Ning Tianchen was not worried that they would fight each other because of it.

Wuhun City is a holy place in the eyes of soul masters. Neither the Wuhun Palace nor the two empires want a fight to break out here and arouse the anger of soul masters all over the world.

Seeing that the two sides were almost arguing, the cardinal sent by the Spirit Hall came out to resolve the dispute. He used the excuse that both sides entered the city at the same time to resolve the conflict.

The soldiers sent by the two empires to protect the participating teams were not allowed to enter the city. After escorting the convoy into the city, they set up camp in the open space near Wuhun City, waiting to escort the players back on the return journey.

Taking into account the conflict between the two empires, the Spirit Hall arranged the participating teams from both sides in different hotels.

After entering the city, the two convoys went their separate ways.

Many contestants leaned their heads out of the carriages to feel the atmosphere in Wuhun City.

In the carriage of Qibao Academy, Chen Huayu and others opened their arms and embraced the air in Wuhun City.

"I say, there's no need to be so exaggerated. In terms of prosperity, Wuhun City and Tiandou City are similar." Yudie complained.

Chen Huayu's face was full of longing. "This is the Holy Land of Soul Masters. Do you see the high mountain in the distance? That is Pope Mountain. The mountain behind it is Douluo Mountain. It is said that only those at the Titled Douluo level are qualified to enter the Douluo Palace."

In the carriage, Ke Jie broke through to the Titled Douluo, but did not accept the canonization from the Spirit Hall, so he had never entered the Douluo Hall.

On the other hand, although Dugu Bo had entered the Douluo Palace, he seemed unwilling to mention the past.

You know, back then he broke through the Title Douluo and came to Wuhun City to be canonized. After that, Bibi Dong invited him, and after he refused, he was hunted down by Juegui Douluo.

Because of this, he owed a favor to Prince Xuexing.

"Little guy, my identity is quite sensitive. After you enter the hotel, I must leave to avoid causing you unnecessary trouble." Dugu Bo reminded.

In the past few days, he has been sitting in the carriage of the Seven Treasures Team, and at the same time instructing everyone on the bottlenecks they encountered in their cultivation.

Seeing him leave, everyone felt reluctant.

Ning Tianchen nodded, "This trip took more than 20 days. Once we get to the hotel, everyone should go to bed early."

Soon, the convoy drove into the hotel.

The hotel provided by the Spirit Hall has very spacious rooms and excellent sound insulation. Living here, you don't have to worry about being disturbed by the outside world.

While everyone was cleaning up the room, Ke Jie received news from the organizer.

"According to the news from Spirit Hall, we will have three days of rest. After the rest, the competition will officially begin. The draw ceremony has not yet begun, so we don't know which team we will face in the first game."

"Based on past years' experience, our opponents in the first round won't be too strong, and we will have a bye in the second round. We will definitely have an easier time in the days before the final."

Oscar looked out the window and said with some envy, "I really envy the three teams that went directly to the finals. They don't have to face the promotion and qualifiers, but they have the opportunity to have a bye in the first round of the finals."

Feng Xiaotian patted his shoulder and said, "Actually, this is not a good thing. The team that is guaranteed to enter the finals has never experienced a fierce battle and does not understand the opponent's situation. It is difficult for them to achieve good results when they are suddenly faced with a high-intensity competition."

The bye opportunity in the first round is to allow the three teams that advance to the finals to adapt to the rhythm of the game in advance and understand the situation of their opponents so that they can respond in subsequent games.

But in the previous two competitions, the two teams that advanced to the finals, Tiandou and Xingluo, basically were eliminated in the first round and it was difficult for them to achieve good results.

Ke Jie added: "In terms of competition experience, we are indeed stronger than the three teams that were guaranteed to advance to the finals. But don't forget that Wuhun Hall Academy is the champion of the previous two competitions. They will definitely send out a stronger lineup for this competition."

……

Compared to the Qibao team's lively conversation, the room at Shrek Academy seemed a little dull.

According to what Yu Xiaogang said before they left, he would show up after they checked into the hotel. But after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of him.

Liu Erlong was worried that Yu Xiaogang would abandon her, so she quickly grabbed Tang San's hand and wanted to find out what was going on. "Xiao San, where did Xiaogang go? Tell me quickly."

"Calm down." Flanders held Liu Erlong's hand and turned his gaze towards Tang San. "Xiao San, what's going on?"

Under pressure, Tang San selectively said: "Teacher came to Wuhun City in advance and wanted to do something. He said that he would come to find us when we entered the city."

Flanders pushed his glasses up and said, "Erlong, everyone, don't be anxious. Xiaogang may not have found us yet, so let's wait a little longer."

The hot-tempered Liu Erlong couldn't stand it, "Xiao Gang actually went to see that woman again!"

Flanders quickly tried to be a peacemaker, "Erlong, Xiaogang might have his own reasons. Let's wait a little longer and find out the truth when he comes back."

But they waited until the sun went down, but there was no sign of Yu Xiaogang.

Their convoy entered the city in the morning. After a day, we should be able to find out their movements even if we ask around.

Everyone at Shrek suddenly felt uneasy.

"Uncle Xiaogang, could it be that he encountered some trouble in the city?" Yu Tianheng couldn't help but wonder.

Tang San was also a little anxious. "How about this, I'll go out and ask around. Since the teacher has entered the city, I think someone knows about his situation."

Flanders held his shoulder and said, "Absolutely not. We are not familiar with this Wuhun City. It is still night time now. If we run around in the city, we may be mistaken for spies and captured by the city guards. Those city guards are composed of Soul Kings, led by Soul Emperors or Soul Saints. Any rash action will be disadvantageous to us."

"It may even affect our eligibility to participate in the competition."

"This won't work, and that won't work. Flanders, are you really hoping that something will happen to Xiaogang?" Liu Erlong, who was overwhelmed by anxiety, anger and other emotions, cursed immediately.

Flanders said seriously, "Erlong, calm down. Are you going to harm the children? If it doesn't work, I will go to find Sect Master Ning and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask them to communicate with the Spirit Hall to find Xiaogang!"

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin looked at each other and said at the same time: "Actually, we don't have to ask outsiders for help."

Yu Tianheng continued, "The sect has some businesses in Wuhun City, and Uncle Xiaogang is Grandpa's son. Once we enter the city, the people in charge of these businesses will definitely pay attention. Tomorrow, we can go to the city to look for them."

To put it bluntly, these people are the spies planted by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family in Wuhun City.

Yu Tianxin added: "The most urgent task is to confirm whether Uncle Xiaogang has entered the city. If he has not entered the city, we may need to communicate with the Tiandou Empire and look for Uncle Xiaogang along the way."

Liu Erlong seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked hurriedly, "Where is the sect's property?"

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin looked at each other and shook their heads.

They were just the younger generation of the sect and were not responsible for secret affairs. They knew about this matter only by accident when they heard about it.

"How can we find the hidden agents if we don't know their location?" Liu Erlong looked as pale as death.

Tang San touched his chin.

In the previous life, the Tang Clan of Bashu also placed spies in various places.

When the sect's core disciples go to the city where the secret agent is located, they only need to show some kind of sign and the secret agent will come to contact them.

"Tian Heng, Tian Xin, do you know the secret code your sect used to connect with these people?"

The two shook their heads again.

As geniuses that the sect has focused on training, their first priority is to practice. They never ask about these trivial matters, and no one will take the initiative to mention them.

"That's troublesome. However, you two have a special status in your sect. Walk around the city more tomorrow, maybe they will contact you on their own initiative." After thinking for a while, Tang San emphasized: "In terms of intelligence gathering, most of them are gangsters or service places such as restaurants. Tomorrow, you can walk around these two places more."

"Do we have to wait until tomorrow?" Liu Erlong seemed a little anxious.

Tang San nodded heavily, "It's getting late, these people generally won't take action. Especially in Wuhun City, once their identities are exposed, they will be in big trouble. Only by contacting them during the day can we avoid suspicion."

Yu Tianxin said, "It's too conspicuous to come into contact with hooligans. How about this, Tianheng and I will go shopping in restaurants and teahouses in the city tomorrow."

……

At the same time, inside the Spirit Hall’s prison.

Yu Xiaogang was lying in a corner with his butt sticking out.

In the past few days, he has suffered inhuman torture from his cellmates.

No matter how he cried and screamed, the jailers turned a deaf ear to him.

Sometimes, he even hoped that he would be caught and tortured by the jailer, so that he could at least avoid being tortured by his fellow inmates.

Now his butt couldn't touch the ground at all, let alone stand. He could only arch his body like a maggot to feel better.

Of course, his current state also makes things convenient for others.

"Erlong, Xiaosan, come and save me." Yu Xiaogang kept shouting in his heart.

It’s a pity that Shrek and his crew still haven’t figured out his situation, so how can they come to rescue him?
"Hey, hey, old guy, stop lying there, come over and play with me!" Brother Snake hooked his finger at him.

Yu Xiaogang didn't dare to resist and ran over happily.

In the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Yu Yuanzhen received an urgent report sent back by a secret agent.

When he learned the news that Yu Xiaogang was captured by the Spirit Hall, he was like an ant on hot pot, and it was difficult for him to calm down.

Where is the Spirit Hall's Heavenly Prison?
Even if you do nothing and are just locked up there, after a while you will become neither human nor ghost.

We can get a glimpse of this from the criminals exiled by the Spirit Hall.

Yu Xiaogang had been accustomed to a life of luxury since childhood, so how could he endure such torture?

However, as the only Titled Douluo in the sect, he could not leave the sect at will, and could only send other people to negotiate with the Spirit Hall.

In desperation, he called Yu Luomian.

"What, let me go to the Spirit Hall?" Yu Luomian was slightly surprised.

Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen sent him to Wuhun City, he thought that his affairs had been exposed, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.

Yu Yuanzhen didn't notice his expression and sighed, "Xiaogang offended Pope Bibi Dong and was thrown into prison. You go negotiate with Bibi Dong and rescue Xiaogang no matter how much it costs."

Yu Luomian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a look of contempt rose on his face. "Back then, Bibi Dong was just having fun with Xiaogang on a whim. Doesn't he understand? After so many years, he still dares to cause trouble."

"In my opinion, the sect shouldn't pay for him. Let him fend for himself."

Yu Yuanzhen frowned, "Luo Mian, Xiaogang is your nephew, and this is also our family affair! Stop complaining here, go and come back quickly."

……

The next day, everyone from Qibao Academy stayed in the hotel to practice and recover.

On the other hand, Shrek Academy started to get busy early in the morning.

As they were unfamiliar with the place, Tang San went out with Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng. Other people from Shrek Academy were also arranged to gather information about Yu Xiaogang on the street.

As powerful Soul Saints, Liu Erlong and Flanders naturally could not run around at will, and stayed in the hotel anxiously waiting for news.

In order to increase recognition, Tang San asked Yu Tianxin and the other person to hang the token of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family around their waists and shuttle between major restaurants and teahouses.

At noon, the three of them stopped for a rest in a teahouse.

Yu Tianheng said helplessly: "Wuhun City is too big. At our current pace, three days is not enough."

Tang San frowned and said: "We must continue to look for him. If the teacher gets into trouble, the sooner we find him, the sooner he can escape from danger."

"Besides, the finals are coming up soon. If the teacher is not here, how can we win the championship?"

While everyone was talking, the waiter came running over and said, "Three guests, a distinguished guest has invited you to a private room for tea, saying that he is your friend. I wonder if you can move?"

Yu Tianheng asked in confusion: "We just came to Wuhun City yesterday, where did our friends come from?"

The waiter spread his hands and said, "Sir, I don't know. If you don't want to go, I will help you turn it down."

Tang San stood up suddenly, "No, let's go over there."

As he spoke, he winked at Yu Tianxin and the other person.

If someone came to see them, it was either an acquaintance or a stranger. If it was the latter, then that was the person they were looking for.

Led by the waiter, the three of them went up to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

The door of the private room was ajar, and through the crack one could see a middle-aged man with graying temples sitting inside drinking tea.

Entering the private room, the three of them bowed respectfully, "I wonder what on earth you want to talk to us about?"

After the waiter left, the man closed the door and quickly helped the three people up.

"Yu Chenjin of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, nice to meet the two young masters. I wonder who this young friend is?"

He took the initiative to find them, and he was from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. The identity of Yu Chenjin in front of them was about to be revealed.

Yu Tianxin explained: "This is Tang San, Uncle Xiaogang's disciple. Uncle Chen Jin, I wonder if you have found any trace of Uncle Xiaogang in Wuhun City?"

Yu Chenjin responded: "I saw the tokens on your waists and didn't take it seriously at first. Later, when I saw you walking around in various teahouses and restaurants, I guessed that you were looking for me."

"Alas, Master Xiaogang's situation is not optimistic. That day."

Yu Chenjin told the three of them the whole story of how Yu Xiaogang was captured by the Spirit Hall and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.

"As for what happened to Master Xiaogang, I'm not sure. He was taken away directly by the guards. I think he offended the Pope."

"I have reported this matter to the family. Calculating the date, the family should have received my letter in the past few days."

"Don't be impulsive. You can't enter the Spirit Hall's prison. It is said that there are Titled Douluo guarding it. Besides, until today, I still haven't found out where the prison is."

Tang San was dumbfounded.

How could he bear the fact that his teacher was locked up in a cell?
Yu Tianxin held his arm and said, "Now that we know Uncle Xiaogang's situation, let's go back and inform the dean and Aunt Erlong. Let's discuss what to do next."

Yu Chenjin said: "My friend, please don't worry. The sect will not sit idly by. I think the sect master has already sent someone to discuss this matter with the Spirit Hall."

……

The hotel where Shrek Academy is staying.

Dai Mubai and others entered the room before Tang San and others.

"Is there any situation?" Liu Erlong asked hurriedly.

"Yes!" both parties answered at the same time.

Dai Mubai looked solemn, and patted Tang San's shoulder, "Let me speak first."

"We inquired on the street and found out that the master was thrown out of the Pope's Palace twenty days ago. It is said that the master was full of a foul smell. It seems that this angered the Pope and he was thrown out."

"Just a few days ago, the master seemed to have gone to the Pope's Palace again. Afterwards, the master was taken away by the Spirit Hall guards, and no one has seen him since then."

Yu Tianheng added with a grim expression: "Uncle Xiaogang was imprisoned in the Sky Prison by the Spirit Hall, and his life or death is still unknown. The family has learned of the situation, and I think they will send someone to negotiate with the Spirit Hall."

"What? The Master (Xiao Gang) is imprisoned!"

Everyone in Shrek was surprised.

Liu Erlong was furious. "Is that woman really so heartless? What crime did she commit to put Xiaogang in jail?"
