Just as the teams selected by the Heaven Dou and Starfall Empires to participate in the Continental Soul Master Tournament finals set out for Spirit City.
Yan keenly noticed that Elder Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo, who had always remained by the Pope's side, suddenly disappeared for a time.
Also disappearing with them were some of Spirit Hall's elite guards, along with elite members of the Soul Master Legion under its command.
There was no need to think about the reason. They had likely gone to intercept and kill Tang San.
Yan had never understood it. If they wanted to kill Tang San, was it really that difficult to send a Title Douluo, or even an Agility Attack Type Soul Douluo, to find an opportunity, lie in wait in secret, and kill him with a single strike?
Did they really have to disguise themselves as bandits and make such a grand show of attacking the finalists protected by the Heaven Dou Royal Knights?
Not only did it ultimately lead to failure, but they had not even achieved the purpose of concealing their identities.
Although Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, and the people of the Heaven Dou Empire had been intimidated by Spirit Hall's power and did not publicize the fact that those bandits had been Spirit Hall Soul Masters in disguise.
Privately, however, they all understood perfectly well.
Yan had never quite understood this move by Spirit Hall, turning itself into a clown.
After Elder Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo returned, the atmosphere within Spirit Hall became somewhat off. It was cold and oppressive, and even Bibi Dong, who had always appeared good-tempered before outsiders, could not help losing her temper several times during this period.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang might also have contributed to that.
