Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 105 Gangzi, you don't want Ma Hongjun to know about that either, do you?

"Lord Lin Mu, are you truly confident in resolving this matter?"

Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze to Lin Mu, his tone revealing a hint of doubt.

In his view, no matter how strong Lin Mu was personally, he could not shake the Spirit Hall, which had stood for thousands of years.

Indeed, Lin Mu currently has no way to contend with the entire Spirit Hall.

However, Lin Mu was well aware that the Spirit Hall was not Bibi Dong's sole authority. At least the Hall of Offerings was not under her jurisdiction, and she herself was subject to the restrictions of the Rakshasa God Trial, which greatly reduced her strength.

That's why Lin Mu wasn't afraid of Bibi Dong, and he could only be irreconcilably opposed to this crazy woman who was trying to destroy the world!

As for her tragic experience, Lin Mu felt a little sympathy, but more than that, he couldn't understand why she had to fall for a good-for-nothing with no sense of responsibility.

The sins of Heaven may be forgiven, but the sins of oneself are inescapable!
Immediately, Lin Mu stepped forward, glanced at Yu Xiaogang, and said meaningfully, "Gangzi, you don't want Ma Hongjun to know about the process of releasing the fire, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was filled with surprise and doubt. How could Lin Mu know about this?

If Ma Hongjun finds out about this, their master-disciple relationship will likely be completely shattered.

"No, absolutely not!"

Yu Xiaogang murmured to himself, a hint of fear in his eyes. If he lost his only disciple, he would have no chance of turning his life around.

He immediately suppressed his panic, looked up at Lin Mu, and asked, "What do you want?"

"It's simple, just pretend this never happened, after all, it was all your doing."

Lin Mu knew Yu Xiaogang's character best. Even though he made the mistake himself, he would righteously shift the blame to others in order to maintain his image as a master.

"You fart!"

Upon hearing Lin Mu reveal the truth, Yu Xiaogang was severely provoked. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was panting heavily. He shouted, "Everything I did was for my disciple. How could it be my fault!"

"How ridiculous! You're clearly doing this for yourself, yet you keep saying it's for your disciple. You're utterly hypocritical."

Lin Mu directly exposed Yu Xiaogang's pretense: he had been a good-for-nothing his whole life, yet he liked to take geniuses as disciples, claiming it was for the good of his disciples.

He even looked down on ordinary geniuses, only accepting top geniuses as disciples.

Undeniably, this method carries the lowest risk; with a little instruction, one can at least become a Contra Master or higher level expert.

"you!"

Yu Xiaogang pointed at Lin Mu, his eyes glaring angrily. He opened his mouth but couldn't refute her. He felt a surge in his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

After a long while, he barely managed to suppress his anger and coldly snorted, "This master is upright and has nothing to fear. Say what you will!"

"You just want money, right? Here's a million gold soul coins for you."

After saying this, Yu Xiaogang flicked his sleeves, turned around angrily, and left, trying to save face.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and followed.

"What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Lin Mu flashed and instantly appeared at the entrance of the main hall, blocking their way.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened so much it could drip water, and he said in a deep voice, "What else do you want? Are you really planning to fight to the death?"

"I didn't say I was looking for you; I was looking for them."

As he spoke, Lin Mu walked directly past Yu Xiaogang and stood in front of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Once again ignored, Yu Xiaogang was furious. As a renowned theoretical master in the Soul Master world, was he really so invisible?

Seeing Lin Mu closing in step by step, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed slightly, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

Will this guy come looking for trouble?

Ghost Douluo, standing to the side, wore a solemn expression. Although he had no connection with Lin Mu, Lin Mu belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire, which was considered the opposite of the Spirit Hall.

As the three were lost in their own thoughts, Lin Mu continued, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, I want to talk to you alone." Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, completely unable to understand Lin Mu's intentions.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang walked over with his head held high and a look of dissatisfaction on his face, saying, "Lin Mu, they are elders of the Spirit Hall. Why should they talk to you privately?"

"Who says the elders of the Spirit Hall can't communicate with others?" Lin Mu asked rhetorically, then said confidently, "If you have any objections, then I'll have to tell Ma Hongjun the truth."

"You're clearly taking advantage of our misfortune!"

"So what if it is? I'll live off this secret for the rest of my life!"

Lin Mu had a firm grasp on Yu Xiaogang's psychology. In his mind, Ma Hongjun was more important than Bibi Dong, and the matter of venting his anger was undoubtedly his bottom line.

After being threatened twice, Yu Xiaogang was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode, but he was helpless and could only walk away.

Before leaving, he gave Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo a look that carried a hint of threat.

After a moment of silence, Chrysanthemum Douluo, his fingers delicately twirling, asked somewhat nervously, "Lord Lin Mu, what brings you here?"

"I need to obtain my eighth spirit ring and would like to ask for your help. If you are willing to help, I will also do something for you after I succeed. It's a win-win situation."

Lin Mu said quite frankly.

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were both stunned. This guy was clearly on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire, yet he asked them to hunt for a soul ring.

This operation is simply baffling.

After a moment, Ghost Douluo spoke first: "We only obey His Holiness the Pope's orders, and it is impossible for us to help you hunt for a spirit ring."

"Is that so? Bibi Dong treats you as insignificant pawns. Why are you so loyal? Besides, this is just a cooperation, and it doesn't require you to betray the Spirit Hall."

Lin Mu looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo. The two were very close. If he could persuade one of them, the other would naturally agree.

At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo hesitated.

Although Bibi Dong's attitude towards Yu Xiaogang had already chilled his heart, Bibi Dong's cultivation was unfathomable, and he had to consider it carefully.

However, Lin Mu was able to crush him with his Soul Saint cultivation level. After breaking through to Soul Douluo, his strength would definitely increase dramatically, at least reaching the Super Douluo level.

Having made up his mind, Chrysanthemum Douluo solemnly said, "Lord Lin Mu, how can we believe you without proof?"

"You only get one chance. I spared your life last time, but you won't be so lucky next time."

Lin Mu spoke calmly, as if he were simply stating a fact.

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's pupils dilated, and he couldn't help but recall his tragic end last time. He never wanted to experience it again in his life.

Then, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had a brief exchange.

A moment later, Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed slightly to Lin Mu and said respectfully, "Lord Lin Mu, Old Ghost and I are willing to accompany you to hunt for soul rings."

"It's a wise choice. If you ever run into trouble in the future, you can come to me."

Lin Mu's lips curled up slightly, and then he went to talk to Ning Fengzhi about hunting for spirit rings.

Ning Fengzhi readily agreed, believing that the stronger Lin Mu was, the more he could restrain the Spirit Hall, which would be more beneficial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After the matter was settled, Ning Fengzhi suddenly asked curiously, "Lord Lin Mu, do you have some kind of leverage over Yu Xiaogang?"

"You don't know?"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have been threatened by him."

"Um, actually, Ning Rongrong told me this too."

Lin Mu briefly explained, only promising not to tell Ma Hongjun, but not to tell anyone else.

Moreover, he wasn't the only one who knew about this; Yu Tianheng and the others also knew.

Upon learning of this, everyone wore strange expressions. No wonder Yu Xiaogang valued Ma Hongjun so much; there was another reason behind it.
