Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Upon hearing this, Tang San's face stiffened as everyone's eyes turned toward him. Internally, Tang San was shocked: How did Spirit Hall find out? Even his teammates, like Dai Mubai, didn't know his Blue Silver Grass had gained such abilities. Was Spirit Hall that perceptive?

Seeing his hesitation, the crowd sensed something suspicious about Tang San, and Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask, "Xiao San, what's going on here?"

Gui Mei continued calmly, "After observing for a while, we found Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had mutated. It can absorb others' soul power, spirit, and bloodline traits to cultivate, which explains his rapid progress."

He added, "Additionally, people in the city have been mysteriously disappearing lately. Doesn't that seem suspicious? And as for Dai Mubai and the others, they seem to have used forbidden drugs, depleting their own life force and foundations to gain strength quickly."

"Even if this doesn't directly relate to an evil spirit master, think about it—such drugs often need special ingredients. For example, blood from other spirit masters," he continued. "Spirit Hall's mission is to eliminate evil spirit masters, so we know more about these matters than most. The swift growth of evil spirit masters is due in part to forbidden drugs, crafted through unspeakable means."

Gui Mei looked coldly at Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun. "Well? Do you have anything to say?"

Dai Weisi stepped forward, wiping cold sweat from his forehead. "Elder Gui, now that Dai Mubai's spirit power has been crippled, could you allow him one last audience with the Emperor?"

Dai Weisi wasn't trying to save his brother's life, but he knew that if he didn't at least show a semblance of loyalty, he'd face repercussions back home. His father might be unable to confront Spirit Hall, but he'd take it out on Dai Weisi himself.

Bibi Dong then addressed Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun. "Did you know about these drugs? Did Tang San give them to you? If you were unaware, we might spare you. But if you knew, then no one's pleas will change your fate. You will be taken to the Slaughter City, left to fend for yourselves."

Dai Mubai and Oscar turned ashen. For Dai Mubai, who had lost his power, the Slaughter City meant certain death, and Oscar, being a food-type spirit master, wouldn't fare any better.

"Your Holiness, we didn't know!" Dai Mubai quickly pleaded. "Tang San told us these pills would boost our strength, and due to certain pressures, we believed him…"

The three of them were desperate to save themselves. Unlike Tang San, they had no father like Tang Hao to protect them. With Spirit Hall prepared as they were today, even Tang Hao's presence might be useless. Not wanting to die for Tang San's choices, they looked away, unwilling to sacrifice themselves.

"You…you all!" Tang San stared at them, shocked his close friends had turned on him so easily.

"Xiao San, don't blame us," Dai Mubai said. "We're just trying to survive. With your father's connections, you might be able to live even in the Slaughter City. But for us, that's a death sentence."

"Besides, when we asked if those pills had the same effects as evil spirit master techniques, you swore they didn't. You said they were just herbs. Now…can you still stand by that?"

Tang San fell silent.

"Everyone, you've heard the full story," Gui Mei declared. "From the beginning, Tang San was nothing more than an evil spirit master. Execute Tang San on the spot, and detain the other three for later judgment!" Bibi Dong ordered, pointing coldly at Tang San.

As the Red-Robed Cardinals advanced to finish him off, a furious roar echoed from the sky. "Who dares?!"

Tang Hao's voice boomed across the arena. "Tang San is my son! You think you can harm him? Who gave you the nerve?"

"Xiao San, watch closely! This is the real Clear Sky True Body!"

"Nine Rings Explode, Great Sumeru Hammer!"

"Killers' Domain!"

The next moment, a massive blood-red Clear Sky Hammer descended from the sky, with no concern for the innocent people on the plaza before the Pope's Palace.

"Enough, Tang Hao!" Bibi Dong snarled. "Elders!"

A group of Spirit Hall elders and Platinums stepped forward; they had been waiting for this. They hadn't expected Tang Hao to attack so ruthlessly, showing no regard for civilians. Uniting their spirit power, they created a protective shield to block Tang Hao's attack.

Meanwhile, Su Ming discreetly messaged Gui Mei and Ju Douluo, "If not now, when?"

Startled by Tang Hao's intimidating aura, the two Douluo snapped back to attention. They knew now why Su Ming had forewarned them; despite the numbers Spirit Hall had, they couldn't help but feel a trace of fear toward Tang Hao.

"Spirit Fusion Technique: Dual Static Domain!" Gui Mei and Ju Douluo locked eyes, resolute in facing their fear head-on.

"We're with you till the end!"

"Arrgh!" Tang Hao bellowed, enraged as Gui Mei and Ju Douluo froze his Clear Sky Hammer mid-air. He channeled every ounce of his strength, preparing for one last desperate strike. Though he appeared to be going all out, Tang Hao was hoping for a swift escape, intending to exploit any opening Spirit Hall gave him to break free with Tang San.

While Tang Hao was reckless, he wasn't a fool. He knew the danger of staying, and his real target was the Spirit Hall's Angel Statue. As the symbol of Spirit Hall, destroying it would force them to divert their focus, leaving enough chaotic energy to harm the lower-level spirit masters in the arena.
