After a round of torture, Tang San no longer had the will to resist Yu Xiao Gang. Whatever the other party wanted to know, regardless of the truth, he would readily confess in that direction.
He even went to great lengths to fabricate details and refine his motives to make his words more believable.
Those tortures were simply too terrifying, not something a person could endure. Even if he was going to die, he absolutely didn't want to suffer a second time.
However, it was impossible for someone like him to become completely honest.
There is great terror between life and death. Throughout history, there have been many who have seen through the barrier of life and death, but definitely not Yu Xiao Gang.
Now, at his age, he couldn't even let go of fame and fortune. He still often held himself out as a master at Notting Academy.
And looking at this person's life, he was really quite a showman.
A good-for-nothing with a natural soul power of 0.5, he actually dared to go to the Spirit Hall to flirt with the Saintess and provoke the Pope.
After being expelled, he wandered the continent, publishing the so-called "Ten Core Competencies of Spirits".
In the original work, he even became the Heaven Dou Imperial Tutor, participating in the war between Spirit Hall and the two empires.
Later, he even founded a sect himself, which continued to be passed down for tens of thousands of years.
Once Tang San's emotions had stabilized slightly, Yu Xiao Gang immediately seized the opportunity, enduring the excruciating pain in his body, and a look of both pity and sorrow flashed in his eyes.
His face was ashen as he said: "Xiao San, kill me.
As long as I die, everything will be over."
When it came to understanding human hearts, Gangzi still had some skill. He didn't grovel and beg for mercy.
The expression he put on was so vivid and flawless that it even seemed to carry a hint of relief.
And Tang San, upon hearing this, was indeed immediately taken aback.
Since discovering he'd been tricked, the influence of the anger and resentment in Tang San's heart, coupled with the backlash from his shattered idol, had made him see this so-called teacher as utterly worthless.
Hypocritical, selfish, useless, vicious, insidious...
Every negative word and criticism was used to describe Yu Xiao Gang.
Could such a person really face death so calmly?
In the very next instant, seeing the clearly strange look in the big master's eyes, Tang San's brows slowly furrowed.
"Wait, something's not right.
What did you mean by that look just now? Were you pitying me? Also, what do you mean by 'as long as you die, everything ends'?"
Yu Xiao Gang was ecstatic inside, but his face immediately registered extreme panic.
"What are you looking at? It's just the fear of death from a dying man. Don't be so suspicious and overthink things."
Don't overthink things meant interpret things quickly, immediately, and right now.
Tang San, who always considered himself intelligent, was instantly filled with doubt.
Could there be something else going on behind this?
Without a word, he took out his hidden weapons again, holding the cold Bone Piercing Nail in his hand and threatening fiercely:
"Speak, or I'll put you through the same process again."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiao Gang didn't hesitate to slam his head towards the Bone Piercing Nail, scaring the wits out of Tang San.
Fortunately, the big poo was already heavily injured and didn't succeed in this rash move.
But this action made Tang San completely certain that there was a bigger mastermind behind his being tricked.
And in an instant, he quickly and automatically conjured up countless reasons in his mind.
Yu Xiao Gang was merely a Great Soul Master, and his reputation in the Soul Master world was mixed. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, from which he originated, looked down upon him.
Besides nurturing a powerful disciple, he had almost no other way to turn his life around.
What reason did he have to harm himself so?
Moreover, in the past few years, this man's daily care and dedicated teaching didn't seem like a pretense, or else he would have seen through it long ago.
But, who exactly was the black hand? Nangong Lingyun? The Pope of Spirit Hall? Or the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
At the thought of this, Tang San's heart immediately sounded an alarm, and he felt as if the whole world was filled with enemies.
He quickly grabbed Yu Xiao Gang again, found a place that was barely intact, and pressed the Bone Piercing Nail against it, saying:
"Tell me, and I can grant your wish to die painlessly. This matter will be known only to heaven, earth, you, and me; no third person will ever know.
But if you don't speak, I'll find a secret room to imprison you in, and I will inflict torture on you every day, making you unable to live or die."
"You…"
Yu Xiao Gang really wanted to curse.
He said he wanted to die?
He went to so much trouble to act mysterious and put on airs, wasn't it all to save his life?
Seeing him begging for death, he was actually being threatened with not being killed. Was this guy even human?
Yu Xiao Gang took a deep breath, his eyes filled with intense desperation, and said,
"Xiao San, please, don't ask, this isn't something you should know.
Just kill me, and everything will be over, okay?"
Facing his teacher's desire for death, Tang San was suddenly at a loss.
He hadn't yet obtained the method for cultivating Twin Spirits, and now he discovered that there were other black hands manipulating things behind the scenes of his predicament.
If he couldn't get the secret out, he still wouldn't be able to sleep soundly in the future.
So, he couldn't really kill the other person. Even using torture was now reaching its limit.
As long as he dared to continue, this useless man would really dare to die right in front of him.
After the two had been entangled for more than ten minutes, Tang San suddenly had an idea. He took off Yu Xiao Gang's Storage Soul Tool and began to examine it, perhaps he could find some clues.
But this simple action instantly made Yu Xiao Gang panic, both furious, pleading, and terrified, he cried out in despair:
"Xiao San, don't look! Please, my teacher begs you, okay? You have a bright future ahead of you, don't look!"
"Tang San, if you dare to look, you will definitely regret it."
"The teacher did deceive you before, but this time, no matter what, you must believe me. That is something you cannot bear."
Countless emotions converged in a single gaze, in a single voice, perfectly harmonious, and yet still allowing one to clearly discern and feel them.
Faced with the threat of death, the Big Poop practically unleashed the most powerful acting performance of his life; any old actor would have to give him a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, Tang San was greatly pleased,
feeling that he was about to uncover the truth, his heart was extremely excited.
The more Yu Xiao Gang tried to stop him, the more desperate and pleading he became, the more excited Tang San became. His heart was pounding wildly, and he couldn't even stop his fingers from trembling.
Another half hour passed.
Bing Qing Yujie searched through everything in Yu Xiao Gang's Storage Soul Tool, even opening and examining each of the books, but found nothing suspicious.
Until, at a certain moment, she found a rather unusual-looking token in a corner.
It was only about the size of a palm, and of average thickness. Yet, it had a noticeable weight, was made of metal, and felt warm to the touch, clearly indicating an extraordinary material.
There were a total of six patterns on it:
A sword, a hammer, a dragon, a crown, chrysanthemums, and an incomplete human figure. They represented the Upper Three Clans, the Star Luo Empire, and the spirit of the two elders of the Spirit Hall, respectively.
Recalling the knowledge his teacher had taught him, Tang San instantly recognized it. This was actually the legendary Pope's Order.
