"Guards! Seal off the entire arena and apprehend the Evil Soul Masters!"
Upon learning that Tang San was a descendant of an Evil Soul Master, the referee immediately suppressed Tang San and the others, and ordered the surrounding knights maintaining order to seal off the entire Dou Hun Arena.
Yu Xiaogang and the others were also surrounded, ready to be arrested and brought to justice.
At this moment, the slacking Qian Xunfeng also stood up. With a single glance, he suppressed Flender and the others, who were still struggling, to the ground.
He spoke with an imposing aura, "I didn't expect there to be an Evil Soul Master so audacious as to dare participate in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition and plot against the continent's excellent Disciple."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Tang San. This was the first time he had truly looked at the Rebirth Tang God King.
Looking at the disheveled Tang San now, he felt a strange sense of amusement, but he still said calmly, "Execute this Evil Soul Master on the spot. As for the others, arrest them and throw them into the prison to await interrogation."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang, who was always stubborn, spoke up, his voice filled with extreme anger, "How could Little San be an Evil Soul Master? This is slander, blatant slander!"
Seeing someone dare to disrespect the Supreme Pontiff, Hu Yan Zhen hurriedly stood up and retorted indignantly. If it weren't for the crowd, he probably would have slapped Yu Xiaogang to death.
"Whether it's right or wrong, everyone present has seen it clearly. His Majesty the Supreme Pontiff would certainly not be mistaken. What would a Waste like you know?"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned crimson from the rebuke. Finally, he remembered Qian Renxuan, who had left, and immediately shouted, "That girl from yesterday also acted this way! Why did you let her go? Is the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall really so indiscriminate and an evil villain who arrests people at will?"
As he spoke, he looked at Dai Mubai and the others, as if confirming his inner suspicion, and pointed at Dai Mubai and the others, saying:
"These are all Tang San's teammates. They haven't been separated for years. If Tang San were an Evil Soul Master, how could we not know? How can you just declare Tang San an Evil Soul Master based on your single word? If you're going to judge, then bring that girl from yesterday here too."
After speaking, he proudly raised his head, meeting Qian Xunfeng's gaze despite the pressure.
His Grandmaster dream absolutely could not be ruined like this, and the reason for his courage was that he had seen his father, Yu Yuanzhen, in the VIP section.
So, even if something happened, Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't just watch him die, right?
"I have said that the girl is not an Evil Soul Master. It was merely the aura carried by her Spirit. That kind is Innate, while Tang San's is clearly Acquired."
Qian Xunfeng was not in a hurry. For him, teasing Yu Xiaogang, this foolish dog, was quite enjoyable.
However, compared to Qian Xunfeng's playful mood, the other Spirit Masters of Spirit Hall all glared at the presumptuous Yu Xiaogang.
The anger in their eyes almost solidified, wishing they could beat Yu Xiaogang to death on the spot. Contradicting the Supreme Pontiff was simply courting death.
One must know that Qian Xunfeng was the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, and those Spirit Masters loyal to Spirit Hall revered Qian Xunfeng as their faith.
If Qian Xunfeng were to act against the two Empires, these fanatics would wish they could directly rush into the imperial palace and hack the Emperors of the two Empires to death.
Because they had no sense of belonging to the two Empires. They had been people of Spirit Hall since childhood, or lived in villages built around Spirit City, enjoying the protection of Spirit Hall's Spirit Master villages.
Now, a mere Waste of thirty-something ranks dared to contradict the Supreme Pontiff. The Supreme Pontiff had a broad mind, but they did not.
Without a doubt, if Yu Xiaogang were to leave without protection now, he might be intercepted and beaten to death as soon as he left Spirit City.
Yu Xiaogang, however, was still unaware. Looking at the silent Dai Mubai and the others, he anxiously said, "Why aren't you helping Little San explain? You are teammates who fought side by side. What are you doing now?"
"Who is teammates with this Evil Soul Master? A noisy idiot who blusters all day long. I wondered why he was so irritable. So he's an Evil Soul Master. Let me tell you, I don't recognize Tang San as a teammate."
Ma Hongjun now knew that if they didn't distance themselves from Tang San, their lives would be over. How could they become generals of the Star Luo Empire?
Dai Mubai and the others had similar thoughts. Looking at Tang San, who was suppressed not far away, they couldn't help but move a few steps away.
They were afraid of being accused of colluding with Evil Soul Masters. Xiao Fei, however, didn't care at all. He was already an Evil Soul Master, so why would he be afraid of being accused of colluding with Evil Soul Masters?
Also to execute Qian Xunfeng's order, he spoke righteously, "Third Brother is not an Evil Soul Master! If you want to touch Third Brother, you'll have to step over my corpse."
Upon hearing this, Tang San, who was almost consumed by anger, immediately looked at Xiao Fei in front of him with a touched expression.
He secretly thought it was a pity that Xiao Fei wasn't a 100,000-year Spirit Beast in human form, so he couldn't sacrifice for her. Then he spoke affectionately:
"Xiao Fei, quickly leave! Don't worry about me."
"Third Brother!"
Seeing that Tang San had taken the bait, Xiao Fei couldn't help but pretend to wipe tears from his eyes, looking at Tang San with feigned sadness.
In his heart, he was thinking about how to properly toy with the Shrek Seven Devils in his cell after Tang San left. Hehehe.
"Alright, first, escort Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils to the prison to await interrogation. If there are no problems, they will naturally be cleared."
The Cardinal in charge of the arrest operation glanced at the two and sneered, then directly moved to apprehend them.
"Wait a moment! I am willing to testify that Tang San is an Evil Soul Master! Our other teammates are innocent!"
Seeing Spirit Hall get serious, Dai Mubai couldn't sit still. He knew that although Dai Weisi was lucky not to die from that arrow, he was left with a hidden injury—a crippled hand. That cold-blooded Dai Tian would certainly not let Dai Weisi be the Crown Prince anymore.
So, he was the only legitimate imperial prince left, and his displayed talent was much better than Dai Weisi's. Therefore, Dai Tian now had no other choice.
For his position as Crown Prince, and also for his future journey to Slaughter City to obtain the Asura God Position, he would not allow Tang San, this Waste, to hinder his plans. For him, a Tang San in Spirit Hall's prison was a good Tang San.
"Dai Mubai, what are you saying?!"
Yu Xiaogang's dead fish eyes widened in fury upon seeing Dai Mubai's cold-heartedness. His eyes burned with anger, wishing he could instantly have Luo San Pao give Dai Mubai a fart.
"What am I saying? I'm stating the facts."
Dai Mubai only wanted to save his own life at this moment. He immediately rolled his eyes and pointed at Yu Xiaogang, saying, "I also want to report that Yu Xiaogang is absolving an Evil Soul Master. His crime is unforgivable, and he should be immediately arrested and interrogated."
"I suspect Yu Xiaogang has the suspicion of cultivating Evil Soul Masters."
Before his words fell, he gave Oscar and Ma Hongjun a look.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun also reacted, testifying for Dai Mubai in unison, even calling Yu Xiaogang an Evil Soul Master.
They described Tang San and Yu Xiaogang as a pair of Evil Soul Master master and Disciple, who were inherently cruel and utterly unforgivable.
