Within the Imperial Capital, the non-combat zones remained peaceful.
Of course, if not for the All-Continent Soul Master Elite Tournament, it would have been difficult for Xiao Tianyang to keep this matter hidden.
Still, this was a blessing amid misfortune.
Under normal circumstances, a bit of misdirection combined with the additional effect of the Nine Seals merged into one could never have achieved the desired result.
And one point needed to be made clear.
The monster's overall combat strength surpassed Xiao Tianyang's.
In a sense, fanatics were inherently extremely formidable beings.
If the monster's original body had merely been an ordinary fanatic, Xiao Tianyang would not have needed to make such a fuss.
First, he had always worried that this incident would affect the plans that followed.
Therefore, if he had a way to kill the enemy instantly on the spot, he would not have come up with a four-against-one plan.
He was not so bored that he wanted to take this opportunity to test the strength of the old generation experts.
Besides, if he wanted such a test, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why do it at this stage?
Second, the resentment on its body was simply too heavy.
Xiao Tianyang indeed had a way to annihilate it all at once.
However, the commotion afterward would be too great and difficult to contain, while his own expenditure was also an issue.
Furthermore, simply eliminating it would be easy. The real disaster would come if that resentment spread outward.
And that was actually its true goal.
It was using itself as bait to lure Xiao Tianyang into killing it himself.
Once the resentment spread, the nearby commoners would naturally be the first to suffer.
Then it would reach the tournament venue a thousand meters away.
