The soldiers of the Heaven Dou Royal Knights began to clear the stones on the road, allowing the carriages trapped behind to pass.
Some of the carriages were slightly damaged, but the problem was not significant.
The royal family had considered the possibility of carriage problems and had specially dispatched artisans skilled in soul tool techniques to accompany them.
They skillfully took out replacement parts from their space rings and began repairs.
"Hey… Little Miss and Lei Yin are gone." Romier suddenly said softly.
Amon cast his gaze at the artisans repairing the carriages and said casually:
"They left chasing after the black-clad men from earlier."
Romier: "Huh?"
Among the retreating black-clad men, a girl in red and a boy in deep blue had mixed in.
The black-clad Soul King who had besieged the Northern Academy only then discovered that these two uninvited guests had mixed into his team, his face showing surprise and confusion.
"How did you guys follow us?" the black-clad Soul King asked.
His voice was calm, as if chatting with an old friend.
Yan Jin scratched his head and asked back, "Where is the person who sent you to besiege us? I need to talk to him about something."
"You know Lord Walter?"
"Amon said it was the old man in charge… It's not safe for me to stay in the Heaven Dou Empire's competition team, so I was captured by you." Yan Jin said with a straight face.
"Captured?"
"Yes, remember, say that I was captured by you."
The black-clad Soul King: "..."
He took Yan Jin and Lei Yin to Walter, saying in a somewhat strange tone:
"Lord Walter, these two people are from the Northern Academy's team… um, captured by me."
"Old man, you didn't call me for such a fun thing!" Yan Jin said carelessly.
Walter smiled without much concern, "Amon sent you here?"
"That's right."
Walter nodded, "It's good that you came, there is still a strong person hiding around, watching us in the dark. Although few people know who we are in contact with, it's not like there are none."
Although he did not complete the Pope's mission, Walter achieved his own goal, basically confirming the relationship between Tang San and Tang Hao, and he was very satisfied with the outcome of this trip.
"Is this your disciple? Seems quite good." Yue Guan's somewhat feminine voice came from the side.
Walter smiled and said, "Yes, a disciple I have cultivated for three years with all my heart… She will shine in the finals."
"Hehe, then I'll look forward to it." Yue Guan smiled, his figure slowly disappearing.
...
Flender, after receiving treatment, lay weakly in the Shrek Academy's carriage.
Liu Erlong guarded him, her expression depressed.
Ma Hongjun's face was filled with anger, "Teacher, who injured you so badly? To be able to injure you like this, he must not be an unknown person, right?"
Flender shook his head, "You better not think about revenge or anything like that. Even if you reach the Title Douluo level, stay as far away from that guy as possible."
"What?"
His words shocked the Shrek team, especially Ning Rongrong, who had also been attacked by this person earlier.
"'Death Thread' Walter, one of the four Platinum Bishops of the Spirit Hall. Although he is a Soul Douluo level cultivator, he is extremely dangerous. Even many Title Douluos keep their distance from him." Flender said in a weak voice.
Liu Erlong said disdainfully, "Just a despicable person."
Flender continued, "His greatest characteristic is that he has no demeanor of a strong person, doesn't care about face, and does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
"For example, in the ambush just now, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo valued their status and didn't threaten Sword Douluo and Sect Master Ning with Ning Rongrong…
"Otherwise, as long as they got close to Rongrong, Sword Douluo would not dare to act rashly. Because in a battle between Title Douluos, even the aftershocks can kill a Soul Ancestor.
"But Walter didn't care at all and directly attacked, even attacking Sect Master Ning and His Highness the Crown Prince.
"As long as you have family, friends, attachments, and things you care about, if you stand against Walter, he will use them against you."
Ma Hongjun didn't know what to say. This was the first time he had heard of such a shameless Soul Douluo. He stammered and said:
"That's… that's too shameless, right?"
Liu Erlong took over the conversation, "So unless you have the certainty of a one-hit kill, don't take the initiative to be his enemy… Killing him is not an easy task, otherwise Sword Douluo would have already made a move."
Tang San was invited to the carriage where "Xue Qinghe" was.
His expression was somewhat gloomy. Among Soul Masters of the same level, he had always been a leader, only the group from the Beidi had brought him pressure.
But today's events made him feel his own insignificance and powerlessness. The feeling of not being in control of his own life was very unpleasant.
Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Even I didn't expect that they would make a move so quickly, and so mercilessly. Your Clear Sky Hammer, and the talent of your twin spirits, are probably what prompted them to make their decision."
Dugu Bo said with some worry, "Little San, your current situation is very dangerous. I didn't expect that even 'Death Rope' Walter would come. He hasn't been active in the Soul Master world for a long time."
Ning Fengzhi said, "This time they attacked the entire competition team, so we have plenty of time to react. If someone assassinates you alone next time, we may not be able to stop them.
"My suggestion is that you leave immediately and find a hidden place to cultivate. If you are willing, you can also go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I think I can still protect you within the sect.
"Although they shouldn't make another move before the finals are over, you must know that after the finals, you will definitely be subjected to even more terrible pursuit."
Tang San frowned, thought for a moment, and said with some stubbornness:
"No, I must participate in this competition. Uncle Ning, I understand what you mean, but this is an important experience in my life. If I can get through it, I will definitely gain a lot of growth. The Spirit Hall is indeed powerful, but it is not all-powerful."
Ning Fengzhi saw some of Tang Hao's shadow in Tang San, the existence that made their generation look up to him.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, since you have already decided, I won't persuade you anymore. Uncle, I will do my best to ensure your safety."
Dugu Bo thought for a while and also said, "I will accompany you for a while, until you leave Spirit City. Other Title Douluos are fine, it is unlikely that they will attack you during the finals, but that old thing Walter is hard to say, he likes to play tricks."
Noticing Dugu Bo's fear of Walter, Tang San silently wrote this name in his heart.
In the following days, the Heaven Dou Empire's competition team continued to advance towards Spirit City as planned.
Everything was calm along the way, and nothing happened.
The only thing that made the students from other academies around them a little confused was that Yan Jin, who was always noisy, had become quiet.
...
Three hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City, there is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains.
Wisps of smoke rose from various parts of the village, and several children played in the fields.
Two men in black were looking at the village furtively. One of them said, "Is this the place?"
"Yes, the Clear Sky Sect after its seclusion." A melodious female voice replied.
"It doesn't look like it to me?" the black-clad man muttered.
The woman said, "Don't be deceived by appearances. Look at those villagers. The steadiness of their footsteps doesn't seem like ordinary people without cultivation."
"Speaking of which, why did the higher-ups suddenly ask us to monitor the Clear Sky Sect?"
"It is said that someone discovered that the Clear Sky Douluo's son had hidden his identity and participated in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. So the higher-ups plan to use him as bait to lure out the Clear Sky Douluo and then surround and kill him." the black-clad woman said indifferently.
"Can it be done? That's the Clear Sky Douluo!" the black-clad man said with a somewhat admiring tone.
"Whether it can be done or not is none of our business. We just need to monitor the Clear Sky Sect. If they take any action, we will report it immediately to prevent people from the Clear Sky Sect from interfering with this hunt." the black-clad woman's expression was indifferent.
In a hidden corner that they didn't notice, a broad figure heard their conversation without missing a word.
The broad figure did not disturb them and left silently.
A moment later, in a gray castle in the mountains, Tang Long said with some respect to a figure more than two meters tall, with a burly and stalwart figure:
"I saw two spies from the Spirit Hall in the village. They said that the Spirit Hall had found the Clear Sky Douluo's son and wanted to use him as bait to surround and kill the Clear Sky Douluo."
The man with a burly figure and a face like a knife-carved axe had some fluctuations in his eyes, and a terrifying soul pressure flashed away:
"I know."
In the village, the two men in black changed several places again. Their mouths were like sieves, and they chattered about the Spirit Hall's encirclement plan while chatting, revealing everything.
This made the Clear Sky Sect disciples who were counter-monitoring the two of them quite speechless. Why would the Spirit Hall send such unprofessional people?
The black-clad men suddenly felt the light in front of them dimming, and a burly figure stood in front of them.
A terrifying and almost suffocating pressure came, and the two of them were like geese with their necks pinched, unable to move.
The pressure lessened slightly, and the first thing the black-clad woman said was: "My lord, spare me, I am not from the Spirit Hall."
This made Tang Xiao, who was originally angry, reveal a slight look of astonishment. He asked indifferently: "Don't play tricks, I ask, you answer."
"Yes, yes." The woman nodded busily.
"Who are you?"
"We are members of an organization called 'Short Knife Society' in a nearby city, somewhat close to mercenaries."
"You are here to monitor the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Sort of. A person from the Spirit Hall suddenly came to the city that day, coercing and tempting us to help him do things. This was originally his task, but he was afraid of death, so he sent us here."
"Regarding the Spirit Hall's plan to surround and kill the Clear Sky Douluo, are you telling the truth?" Tang Xiao's voice was slightly cold.
"I'm not sure, but that's what's being said in the society. It might be true, or it might not be. My lord, please let us go, we are just two errand boys." The black-clad woman kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Tang Xiao raised his hand and dropped his palm, and there were two more headless corpses on the ground.
"Sect Master…" Tang Long's mouth wriggled, as if trying to persuade him to say something.
"I'm going out for a trip. If I don't come back in three months, you can choose a new Sect Master." Tang Xiao said indifferently.
"No, Sect Master."
A pressure blocked the rest of Tang Long's words in his mouth, "No need to persuade me, I have made up my mind."
