Yu Xiaogang had already realized that the situation was becoming dangerous. If he continued talking, Tang San's identity would be exposed, and that would cause serious trouble.
Unfortunately, he realized it too late.
Bibi Dong had given him several opportunities to leave, but he had stubbornly stayed.
Now, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Bibi Dong casually picked up the investigation report beside her and threw it in front of Yu Xiaogang.
After learning that Tang San's father was Tang Hao, Spirit Hall naturally had to verify the information.
Using the registration information Tang San had submitted for the Spirit Master Tournament, Spirit Hall had already investigated him thoroughly.
Everything about Tang San's life, from Holy Soul Village until the present, was recorded in the report.
His father was a blacksmith named Tang Hao.
The Clear Sky Sect's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique was regarded by blacksmiths as one of the finest hammer techniques. Who would believe that someone from the Clear Sky Sect didn't know how to forge?
Moreover, Holy Soul Village was not far from the location of the battle back then. With all these clues taken together, it had already been confirmed that this Tang Hao was the same Clear Sky Douluo who had killed Pope Qian Xunji back then.
After reading the report, Yu Xiaogang was speechless, his eyes vacant.
It was over.
Everything was over.
At present, Tang Hao still didn't know that Tang San's identity had been exposed.
Now that Spirit Hall had dared to present such confidential information, it was obvious that they had already made thorough preparations and were simply waiting for Tang Hao to enter Spirit City before capturing him.
Yu Xiaogang knew very well that Spirit Hall possessed more than half of the Titled Douluo on the entire continent.
With so many powerful Spirit Masters surrounding Tang Hao and Tang San, the outcome was obvious.
But he seemed to have forgotten one thing.
Since Bibi Dong dared to show him such confidential information, it was obvious that he wouldn't be leaving either.
Before long, the doors of the Pope's Palace slowly opened.
The imposing Golden Crocodile Douluo walked in, and the ground seemed to tremble faintly with every step he took.
By the time Yu Xiaogang noticed him, Golden Crocodile Douluo had already arrived in front of him.
"Bibi Dong, a bet is a bet. Yu Xiaogang must pay the price for his actions!"
Bibi Dong turned away and no longer looked at Yu Xiaogang.
"I don't want to see either of you. Get out."
Golden Crocodile Douluo gave a cold laugh and casually grabbed Yu Xiaogang before carrying him out of the palace.
Yu Xiaogang struggled desperately, but he only had Level 29 Spirit Power. How could he possibly break free from a Level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo?
Even if his Spirit Power Level were reversed, he still wouldn't be able to withstand a single attack from his opponent!
Yu Xiaogang desperately wanted to deliver the news to Tang Hao, so he hurriedly took out the Pope's Token.
"Golden Crocodile Douluo, I'm also an Elder of Spirit Hall. Is this how you treat a fellow Elder?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo released his grip, allowing Yu Xiaogang to catch his breath.
He took the token Yu Xiaogang handed over and couldn't help laughing.
"Do you know that the Pope's Token has a hidden mark?"
Yu Xiaogang hadn't even finished catching his breath when he heard those words. His entire body stiffened, and he didn't dare make the slightest move.
How could a Pope's Token issued by Spirit Hall possibly have no identifying mark?
Earlier, Yu Xiaogang had used the Pope's Token far too smoothly, causing him to become complacent.
Now, he had willingly handed his own weakness to someone else.
Golden Crocodile Douluo toyed with the Pope's Token in his hand and smiled.
"According to this old man's understanding, this token clearly belongs to the Clear Sky Sect. So why is it in your possession?"
"Did the Clear Sky Sect secretly conspire with you and give you this token so that you could cause trouble for Spirit Hall?"
The Clear Sky Sect had practically become a forbidden name on the continent. Anyone connected to them would face Spirit Hall's investigation and retaliation.
How was Yu Xiaogang supposed to answer?
If he claimed that he didn't know anyone from the Clear Sky Sect, he couldn't explain where the token came from.
If he said Tang Hao had given it to him, wouldn't that amount to admitting that he had colluded with the Clear Sky Sect?
He had come here hoping to obtain the cultivation method for twin martial souls from Bibi Dong, but instead, he had exposed his true intentions.
Bibi Dong had become completely disappointed in him.
If Golden Crocodile Douluo dragged him away and executed him publicly, who could possibly save him now?
Yu Xiaogang was overwhelmed by extreme fear. A pale yellow liquid leaked from the bottom of his trousers, and a foul, pungent smell immediately filled the air.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at him with contempt and immediately ordered, "Guards, take Yu Xiaogang to the prison and let him properly reflect on his mistakes."
That same day, after Yu Xiaogang was imprisoned, the matter of his impersonating an Elder of Spirit Hall was quickly confessed during interrogation by the prison guards.
Spirit Hall immediately issued an announcement to the entire continent.
The announcement was naturally intended to clarify that Yu Xiaogang was not an Elder of Spirit Hall.
However, some of the claims in the announcement differed from what had actually happened.
Spirit Hall stated that Yu Xiaogang had somehow obtained a Pope's Token and, in order to preserve Shrek Academy's qualification for the tournament, had used the token to impersonate an Elder of Spirit Hall.
After enjoying the privileges brought by the Pope's Token, he became increasingly bold and continued abusing its authority.
The announcement also specifically revealed that Yu Xiaogang was the son of Yu Yuanzhen.
This caused the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to lose a great deal of face in front of the entire continent.
Tang San and the others, who were currently participating in the promotion matches, were still unaware of Spirit Hall's announcement.
As for the competition area, Bone Douluo was stationed there, making it impossible for Tang Hao to approach. He could only conceal his identity and hide in Heaven Dou City.
After seeing Spirit Hall's announcement, he immediately knew that something had happened to Yu Xiaogang.
Beforehand, he had repeatedly warned Yu Xiaogang to be careful, and that man had confidently assured him that everything would be fine.
Now look what had happened. He had been thrown into Spirit Hall's prison, and even an immortal would have difficulty saving him.
From the information released by Spirit Hall, Tang Hao knew that Yu Xiaogang had not betrayed him. He had only claimed that he had found the Pope's Token.
But the meaning behind the word "found" was quite significant.
There was a good chance that Yu Xiaogang had dug up the tomb of a deceased powerhouse from Spirit Hall.
After all, when a Titled Douluo died, their remains would be placed in the Hall of Heroes. However, for the sake of remembrance, their families would often establish a symbolic tomb as well.
Personal belongings such as the Pope's Token would most likely be placed inside such a symbolic tomb.
Therefore, based on this announcement, most people would naturally assume that Yu Xiaogang had gone tomb-robbing.
But he was the son of Yu Yuanzhen!
The son of a Sect Master from one of the Upper Three Sects had actually gone tomb-robbing. This was an enormous scandal!
It was easy to predict that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would soon face widespread criticism and ridicule from the Spirit Master community.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with the Clear Sky Clan.
Tang Hao wasn't sure whether Yu Xiaogang had obtained the cultivation method for twin martial souls from Bibi Dong and then, after becoming careless from his success, had ultimately been exposed and thrown into prison.
Or whether he had been arrested and thrown into prison without even getting the chance to meet Bibi Dong.
If it was the former, Tang Hao would do whatever it took to rescue Yu Xiaogang. After all, that would be beneficial to both him and Tang San.
However, over the next few days, no matter how Tang Hao tried to gather information, he couldn't obtain any news.
After imprisoning Yu Xiaogang, Spirit Hall seemed to have completely sealed off all information regarding the matter internally.
With no other choice, Tang Hao could only wait for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to take action.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was Yu Yuanzhen's legitimate son. No matter how one looked at it, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't simply stand by and do nothing.
Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Xiaogang's incident had brought immeasurable losses to the clan!
Ever since Spirit Hall released the announcement, whenever members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan traveled throughout the continent, they were frequently met with mocking and ridicule.
With such a major incident occurring, Yu Yuanzhen could no longer keep it hidden from everyone.
Left with no choice, he convened a clan meeting to discuss how to deal with Yu Xiaogang and clarify what had actually happened.
