After dropping those final four words, the figures of the two Enshriners, Qian Jun and Demon-Subduing Douluo, completely vanished from the spot, leaving no trace.
As the oppressive aura dissipated, Tang San was finally able to struggle to his feet.
His mouth was stained with blood, and his face was covered in dirt, making him look utterly wretched.
When he raised his head and swept his gaze over the group, a nearly obsessive coldness and darkness flashed in his eyes.
"Tang San, how are you?"
Flender quickly stepped forward to support Tang San, sending his spirit power into his body to carefully examine him.
His face showed worry, but inwardly he broke out in a cold sweat over Tang San's extremely reckless behavior just now.
Those were two Titled Douluo; their strength was unfathomable.
How dare Tang San, a mere Spirit Ancestor, publicly question or even accuse them of unfairness?
This was no longer courage; it was suicidal stupidity.
Fortunately, the opponents only used their oppressive aura for a small lesson, not killing Tang San on the spot.
In Flender's view, they had already shown great mercy.
"That's right, Little San, are you okay?"
"You were too bold just now! Those are Titled Douluo!"
"You scared us to death!"
The Shrek Group also gathered around, expressing their concern all at once, their faces filled with lingering fear.
However, their anxious and worried expressions seemed exceptionally hypocritical in Tang San's eyes.
When those two old fogeys were here just now, every single one of you was silent with fear, not daring to utter a single sound.
Now that they're gone, you know to swarm around and pretend to care.
A bunch of trash!
His heart was filled with venomous resentment, but he didn't show the slightest trace of it externally.
Because he knew deeply that he still needed to rely on the strength of these people right now.
Tang San forcibly suppressed the hostility in his heart, pulled at the corner of his mouth, and forced out a slightly stiff and weak smile.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just feel a slight surge of Qi and blood; I'll be okay after regulating my breathing for a while."
His voice was hoarse, and he tried hard to appear calm.
Seeing that his breathing, though weak, was stable, the Shrek Group finally relaxed slightly, but the atmosphere remained heavy.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, meanwhile, stood to the side, cursing Qian Jun and Demon-Subduing Douluo, as if venting Tang San's frustration.
Since the people were already gone, they weren't afraid of being overheard by Qian Jun and Demon-Subduing Douluo.
However, this scene that just occurred evoked completely different reactions from the students and teachers of the other competing teams nearby.
Although many people tried hard to maintain calm expressions, deep in their eyes, a hint of schadenfreude was revealed.
The reason for this reaction was due to the reputation Shrek Academy had accumulated during the Promotion Round.
Ever since Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun recovered from their injuries and their strength rapidly advanced, they perfectly demonstrated what it meant for a petty person to gain power.
Arrogant, frivolous, and conceited.
After defeating opponents, the two often spoke wildly and indulged in extreme mockery.
Many team members had been publicly humiliated by them and had long been simmering with anger.
Therefore, seeing Tang San, also a member of Shrek, suffer this fate, although they didn't laugh out loud, they still felt a burst of satisfaction.
As for the few people led by Yang Yuan, they simply didn't take the matter to heart at all.
And after today's dramatic episode, the rest of the journey was calm, with no further incidents occurring.
Meanwhile, far away in Spirit City, deep within the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
A figure shrouded in faint radiance, whose face was handsome yet carried a sense of majesty and age, silently appeared before the Supreme Pontiff's throne.
The newcomer was none other than the High Priest of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu.
He was expressionless, his gaze calmly fixed on Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, who was seated on the throne. His voice betrayed no emotion, yet carried an undeniable certainty.
"Bibi Dong, you crossed the line. You shouldn't have moved against Yang Yuan."
"He is the person Little Xue favors."
These two simple sentences struck Bibi Dong's heart like two heavy hammers.
A faint coldness emanated from her exquisite face, and a trace of unwillingness and anger flashed in her eyes.
But after a moment of silence, she could only let out a cold snort.
"After today, I will not actively move against Yang Yuan again, but if he ever threatens Spirit Hall's plans, I will definitely kill him."
"At that time, I hope you won't come out to stop me again!"
She chose to compromise, not because of Qian Daoliu's status.
It was because she was currently in a critical stage of the Rakshasa God's God Trial and couldn't exert her full strength.
If she were to clash head-on with Qian Daoliu in perfect condition, it would definitely not be a wise move.
"I hope you keep your word!"
Having received Bibi Dong's promise, Qian Daoliu said no more, his figure flashing before disappearing within the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
After all, Bibi Dong was also Qian Renxue's mother.
Furthermore, Qian Daoliu always felt guilty towards her because of the events of the past.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Qian Daoliu to repeatedly tolerate Bibi Dong's overstepping.
In an instant, only Bibi Dong remained within the empty Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Her slender fingers slowly tightened, causing the armrest of the throne to creak, and in her icy pupils, a trace of suppressed madness surged.
"Old fogey, just you wait!"
Bibi Dong's heart had long been twisted to the extreme over the accumulated passage of time.
She resented Qian Xunji's beastly actions back then, resented Qian Daoliu's hypocritical light, resented Liu Erlong for stealing Yu Xiaogang, resented everything in the world, and wished to completely destroy both Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that had driven out Yu Xiaogang.
But over the years, due to Qian Daoliu's restraint, Bibi Dong was unable to carry out her revenge as she wished.
She could only hide her intentions until the day she could completely ignore Qian Daoliu.
But Qian Daoliu was a Rank 99 Limit Douluo.
Therefore, the only way to completely ignore him was to—become a god!
Besides this, Bibi Dong also conceived an extremely crazy idea.
She decided to first push Spirit Hall to a new height... and then, at its most Peak moment, utterly destroy it!
Bibi Dong had always felt that everything was under her control, until she received intelligence regarding Yang Yuan.
The main reason she didn't hesitate to send the three Elders—Ju, Gui, and Demon Bear—to intercept the competing teams stemmed from her fear of Yang Yuan's extraordinary talent.
As for Tang San?
Killing him was merely a secondary objective!
Although Tang San also possessed twin spirits, Bibi Dong had never taken him seriously.
Because Bibi Dong herself possessed twin spirits and had accepted the Rakshasa God's God Position, why would she fear a mere Spirit Ancestor?
But Yang Yuan was different!
His Cultivation speed was unbelievably fast.
Bibi Dong strongly suspected that Yang Yuan had also accepted the Legacy of an unknown deity.
Furthermore, the deity whose Legacy he accepted might not be weaker than the Rakshasa God.
Even Bibi Dong would not underestimate a Genius who possessed a God TrialLegacy.
Moreover, given Yang Yuan's relationship with Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong was very worried that Yang Yuan would affect her plans.
She had intended to use this opportunity to nip Yang Yuan in the bud, but she was thwarted by that immortal old fogey Qian Daoliu, missing the best opportunity for assassination.
Facing this variable, Bibi Dong had only one last method left.
That was to achieve godhood before Yang Yuan!
...Time passed.
After the convoy continued traveling for more than ten days, the outline of a city finally appeared on the distant horizon.
This city was precisely the destination of their journey.
Spirit City!
