"But so what?!"
Yu Xiaogang's laughter suddenly rose in pitch, becoming sharp and piercing.
"What can you do even if you rush to the entrance of the Papal Palace?"
"You are facing a level 95 Title Douluo, the Pope at the time, Qian Xunji!"
"You couldn't even touch a single hair on his head, yet you were beaten like a dead dog, and in the end, he forced you to crawl out of Wuhun City in a sorry state!"
"You can't save her!"
"You can only watch helplessly as Bibi Dong is left alone in the secret room, enduring endless humiliation and torment!"
"Hahahaha! It's me! It's because I can't have her! But you're the same! You can only be a useless piece of trash, listening to her screams outside, unable to do anything!"
"We are all losers! Hahahaha!"
Yu Xiaogang's laughter echoed throughout the entire Tiandou City.
There was not a trace of guilt or remorse in that laughter, only a morbid, twisted madness and malice that dragged everyone down to hell.
Everyone was stunned by his utterly shameless remarks.
silence.
A deathly silence.
Immediately following was an overwhelming rage.
Ning Rongrong stood below the stage, her pretty face already deathly pale with anger.
Her small hands were clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Looking at the man on the stage laughing hysterically, she felt waves of nausea and disgust.
She couldn't imagine how a man could say such vicious and cruel things to a woman he once loved deeply.
This is like tearing open someone's deepest wound, rubbing salt into it, and then laughing at them.
Beside her, Oscar's expression was also extremely unpleasant. He subconsciously shielded Ning Rongrong behind him, and his gaze towards Yu Xiaogang was full of disdain.
In a corner not far away, Zhu Zhuqing remained silent.
Her once serene eyes now seemed to be burning with two clusters of cold flames.
She thought of Dai Mubai, and of the brutal struggle for the throne in the Star Luo Empire.
But even the most ruthless royal family would not do such a despicable thing.
This goes beyond power struggles; it's pure, unadulterated human depravity and evil.
On the other side, in the noble seats of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Prince Xuexing, a prince who always valued the royal family's reputation, was now ashen-faced.
Although he disliked the Spirit Hall, he still held a degree of awe for Bibi Dong, the powerful female pope.
Yu Xiaogang, who comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, actually did such a disgraceful thing and even proudly said it in front of the whole world.
This is not just a loss of face for him, but for the entire Upper Three Sects and the entire aristocratic class!
Even Qian Renxue, who had been sitting calmly and pretending to be Xue Qinghe, suddenly clenched her fists, which were hidden in her sleeves.
A complex glint flashed in her eyes.
There was anger, shame, and a barely perceptible murderous intent.
She was furious at Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, for daring to expose her father's shameful secrets.
She was ashamed that her father would actually do such a despicable thing.
That murderous intent was directed not only at Yu Xiaogang, but also at this unbearable past.
As for the thousands of people in the square, especially the female Soul Masters, their reactions were even more direct.
"Kill him!"
It's unclear who was the first to shout it out.
"Yes! Kill this beast, worse than a pig or a dog!"
"Qian Xunji is dead, but this accomplice is still alive! We can't let him get away with this!"
"Shameless! Vulgar! I have never seen such a shameless person!"
"Her Majesty the Pope is so pitiful... What has she been through..."
"No wonder Her Majesty the Pope's temperament changed so drastically, and she wanted to start a war. It turns out she was hiding such a deep pain in her heart..."
The crowd was immediately outraged.
The condemnation of Yu Xiaogang, the hatred for Qian Xunji, and the sympathy for Bibi Dong intertwined to form a huge wave of voices.
This outcry nearly overturned the entire trial bench.
They were once terrified by the Spirit Hall's domineering nature.
But today, they felt a deep and sincere sympathy and pity for a pope who should have been their enemy.
The roar of angry curses was so deafening it nearly lifted the dome of Tiandou Square.
Countless gazes converged on Yu Xiaogang, no longer filled with disdain or contempt, but with pure, unadulterated hatred that seemed to want to devour him alive.
How can a man be so shameless?
They flaunt their most despicable acts as if they were trophies of war.
To take a woman's deepest pain as the source of one's own morbid pleasure.
"Kill him!"
"People like this don't deserve to live!"
"Cut him into a thousand pieces!"
The angry shouts grew louder and louder, and several hot-tempered Soul Masters even activated their Soul Power. If it weren't for the desperate resistance of the Knights of the Heaven Dou Empire, they would probably have already rushed onto the judgment platform.
On the trial platform, Bibi Dong's delicate body was still trembling.
Every word Yu Xiaogang uttered was like a poisoned steel knife, cutting back and forth over and over her already scabbed wound.
Blood was everywhere, and the pain was excruciating.
Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, and drops of bright red blood slid down between her fingers, dripping onto the magnificent papal robes, spreading out like an eerie red lotus.
But her eyes no longer held any trace of vulnerability.
Those beautiful purple eyes burned with a flame of hatred powerful enough to incinerate an entire continent.
Ning Lin, who had been silent all along, finally made a move.
He slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was still laughing maniacally.
His gaze was calm.
It was just that one glance.
Yu Xiaogang's laughter abruptly stopped.
He felt as if a bucket of ancient, icy water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone.
What kind of look was that?
Why...why did he look at me like that?!
On what grounds?!
"loser?"
Just then, Hu Liena's clear, cold voice, like a sharp sword, pierced through the noise of the entire venue.
The square fell silent once again.
All eyes were focused on the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena didn't look at anyone; her gaze was fixed intently on Yu Xiaogang.
"You're saying Ning Lin is a loser?"
A mocking smile played on her lips.
"No."
You're wrong.
Yu Xiaogang was suddenly stunned, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"I was wrong? Haha! Where did I go wrong?"
He pointed at Ning Lin and shouted hoarsely.
"Back then, he was beaten by Qian Xunji and scrambled out of Wuhun City like a dead dog. What is that if not a failure? He watched Bibi Dong be humiliated. What is that if not incompetence?"
"he..."
"Oh."
A soft laugh escaped from Bibi Dong's lips.
The laughter was soft, yet it carried endless chill and contempt.
She looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he were a self-righteous fool.
