"Haotian Douluo?"
Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo's expressions froze. Their gazes simultaneously landed on Tang Hao. If this person was Haotian Douluo, wouldn't he slap us both right here and now?
Does Haotian Douluo have such a good temper?
"Heh!"
Prince Xue Xing sneered and replied:
"Yu Xiaogang, seeing as you and Flander are now Teachers at the academy, I can temporarily not pursue your responsibility in this matter.
"As for you saying this person is Haotian Douluo, how could Haotian Douluo be someone without Soul Power?"
"How do you prove it?"
If you're going to impersonate someone, at least find a decent person, or at least a Titled Douluo with some strength. You're clearly disrespecting us!
"I..."
Yu Xiaogang was speechless.
So irritating.
Isn't this all because that bastard Liam crippled Haotian Douluo? If Haotian Douluo wasn't crippled, would we need to talk to you so nicely?
This matter is very difficult to explain.
If Yu Xiaogang and the others explain that the current Haotian Douluo is severely injured and cannot use Soul Power, heh! Then he's just an injured dog, what's the point of saying he's Haotian Douluo?
Haotian Douluo's deterrent power is not small.
However!
That's on the premise that Tang Hao possesses that strength. As for the current Tang Hao, if he dares to say he's Haotian Douluo outside, even a passing dog would slap him twice. What kind of pathetic strength dares to challenge the heavens?
Seeing Yu Xiaogang unable to answer, Prince Xue Xing became even more certain in his heart that this guy in front of him was likely an imposter. The real Haotian Douluo would just need to release his Soul Power, and everything would be self-explanatory.
Tang Hao, however, said with a gloomy expression:
"Prince Xue Xing, I, Tang Hao, am Tang Hao. What more proof is needed?"
Slap!
As the words fell, action followed swiftly.
A guard commander beside Prince Xue Xing directly slapped Tang Hao across the face, angrily shouting:
"What are you, daring to call our Prince by name?"
"You say you're Tang Hao? I, Li Mang, say I'm Tang Chen. Have you heard of Tang Chen?"
"That's Tang Hao's Grandpa!"
"You..."
Tang Hao instantly exploded with rage.
How outrageous!
He, the dignified Haotian Douluo, got slapped twice in two days. When had he ever suffered such humiliation!
Damn it!
You truly deserve to die!
I just said I was Tang Hao, and you, this bastard, not only dare to slap me, but you even dare to claim to be my Grandpa?
Yu Xiaogang and Flander were also dumbfounded.
Seriously?
Are the guards of your Heaven Dou Empire this brave now?
He is the real Haotian Douluo; he's just severely injured and hasn't recovered. You actually dare to slap him? You are truly reckless!
Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo also frowned, feeling a bit speechless in their hearts. Although the other party might be an imposter, isn't it a bit reckless to slap him like that?
Tang Hao was so enraged that his three corpses jumped. He wished he could desperately unleash his Soul Power and beat the guard Li Mang in front of him to death!
If looks could kill, the guard commander Li Mang would have died thousands of times over.
Slap!
Something unexpected happened again.
Seeing Tang Hao glaring at him with anger and defiance, the guard Li Mang slapped Tang Hao across the face again with a backhand, retorted:
"What are you looking at? You're not convinced, are you?"
"You dare to impersonate Haotian Douluo? Believe it or not, I'll show you how the 'Mang' in my name, Li Mang, came about?"
"How outrageous!"
"Going too far!"
Tang Hao was furious to the extreme, faintly about to unleash his Soul Power and recklessly kill the person in front of him.
"Wait a moment."
Seeing Tang Hao about to erupt, Yu Xiaogang and Flander also hurried forward to persuade him:
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"This is just a vulgar person; you absolutely must not stoop to his level."
Yu Xiaogang and Flander knew clearly that given Tang Hao's current condition, if he forcibly used his Soul Power to attack, the outcome would likely be disastrous!
Even if there was no life-threatening danger, the subsequent recovery from his injuries would be even more difficult.
Tang Hao: How can you tell me to calm down?
Yu Xiaogang looked coldly at Li Mang and shouted:
"Bastard, hurry up and kneel down to apologize to Your Majesty!"
Bang!
Li Mang kicked Yu Xiaogang directly in the stomach and retorted:
"This commander entered the palace at eight years old and has served the royal family for over twenty years. In this life, besides my parents, I only kneel before His Majesty and have never knelt before anyone else."
"What are you, telling me to kneel?"
"You, you, you..."
Yu Xiaogang was also furious with anger.
Flander was about to step forward, but was stopped by a look from Dugu Bo:
"Flander, what do you want to do?"
Flander said with an ugly expression:
"Your Majesty, this person is too arrogant. Not only did he hit Haotian Douluo, but he also hit a Teacher from our academy. Are you just going to let this happen?"
Prince Xue Xing said expressionlessly:
"Li Mang is loyal to the royal family. Although he acted impulsively, it was out of anger because someone stole from the national treasury, hence the momentary impulse."
"Let's drop this for now!"
"If you two have nothing else, then we will take the person back."
"You..."
Flander was also very angry, but! They couldn't quite explain this matter today.
Yu Xiaogang's expression was gloomy, and he suddenly shouted:
"Wait."
"Prince Xue Xing, look at what this is!"
With that said.
Yu Xiaogang himself took out the Spirit Hall's pope order, which still had bloodstains on it. The reason the bloodstains weren't wiped off was that Yu Xiaogang planned to personally show it to Bibi Dong when he got to Spirit Hall, to let Bibi Dong know how Liam and the others had mistreated the Spirit Hall's honorary Elder.
"Hmm?"
"This is... the Spirit Hall's pope order?"
Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo naturally had discerning eyes. Seeing Yu Xiaogang take out the Spirit Hall's pope order, they were also greatly shocked in their hearts.
Seeing the two of them stunned, Yu Xiaogang also breathed a sigh of relief. The pope order... it finally had some use.
"Prince Xue Xing, according to Spirit Hall's rules, holding the pope order is like the Pope being present in person, and it also grants the position of Spirit Hall's honorary Elder."
"Today, give me, Yu Xiaogang, some face. Do not arrest Haotian Douluo for now. As for the person you arrested in the imperial palace, do not move him temporarily either. We will give an explanation tomorrow."
Although Tang Hao felt utterly humiliated, he was helpless. To think that he, Haotian Douluo, who had been mighty his entire life and had an irreconcilable hatred with Spirit Hall, now had to use Spirit Hall's pope order to plead for mercy?
It's truly infuriating!
Prince Xue Xing's expression was solemn. By arresting Tang San, they had already antagonized the Haotian Sect. If they antagonized Spirit Hall now, even if they impeached Xue Qinghe, it would definitely not be worth it.
"Heh!"
As Prince Xue Xing was hesitating, Dugu Bo sneered:
"Yu Xiaogang."
"You are a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, after all. Although you have been expelled, you wouldn't forget the relationship between Spirit Hall and Haotian Sect, would you?"
"You're using Spirit Hall's pope order to plead for this so-called 'Tang Hao'. Don't you find that ridiculous?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing also instantly frowned, staring at Yu Xiaogang with his eyes, truly unable to understand!
Don't the two sides have deep-seated hatred?
