Yan Shaozhe's face was livid. He recognized the other party's signature Evil Phoenix Martial Soul at a glance, and the old feelings in his heart clashed violently with the reality before him.
The battle erupted in an instant!
However, the attacking Evil Soul Masters were exceptionally powerful this time. Several Titled Douluo-level experts struck at once. Yan Shaozhe had never been able to defeat Feng Ling even on his own, and now he was suppressed by their combined assault, quickly falling onto the back foot.
In the distance, Ji Jing was meditating in his room, sensing the Battle Armor's Core Array. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open.
He sensed that familiar evil power and immediately understood: the Holy Spirit Cult had come for Ma Xiaotao.
He found Dai Yueheng and led him outside Sea God Pavilion, instructing him:
"Yueheng, keep an eye on Ma Xiaotao! They're here to take her away. Don't let her leave Sea God Pavilion!"
Dai Yueheng, who had been anxiously watching the battle, shuddered and immediately understood what Ji Jing meant.
The sight of Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire erupting during the tournament must have reached the ears of the Holy Spirit Cult.
How could the Holy Spirit Cult pass up the chance to make her fall?
Though he knew he couldn't defeat Ma Xiaotao once she fully erupted, he was confident he could stop her from leaving.
He immediately focused all his attention on the exit of Sea God Pavilion.
Just as Yan Shaozhe was being forced back again and again, with the situation on the verge of collapse, an old sigh rang across the entire Sea God Island.
"Alas... A pack of skulking rats, and you dare come to my Shrek and run amok!"
Mu En's seemingly withered figure appeared in midair at some unknown moment.
