Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Emperor Xue Ye's fingers on the armrest tightened slightly.
If the Heaven Dou Empire were to openly shield an Evil Soul Master, its reputation would be ruined, inviting countless verbal and written attacks, and possibly giving the covetous Star Luo Empire an opportunity!
However, Dugu Bo's concern was clearly unnecessary.
What reason did Emperor Xue Ye have to protect Tang San? Tang San wasn't his son!
At this moment, Salas's face was so grim it could drip water. He knew that he had to immediately state his position and distance himself from Tang San and Shrek Academy!
Even if it meant offending Master, this so-called Elder of Spirit Hall!
Salas suddenly turned his head, his gaze falling upon the Canghui Academy captain not far away, who had just been healed by Tang Chuan and was gradually regaining consciousness. He asked in a deep voice:
"Speak! What exactly did Tang San do to you in the colorful mist?! Report truthfully; if there's a single false word, you'll be severely punished!"
This Canghui Academy captain, having narrowly escaped death, his hatred for Tang San had reached its peak.
Hearing Salas's question, he immediately raised his hand and pointed at Tang San, who was being firmly suppressed by Dugu Bo and whose face was ferocious. His voice trembled slightly from weakness as he said:
"It's him! It's this Tang San!"
"He just used his evil Blue Silver Grass to bind us!"
"Then... then terrifying thorns grew on those vines, piercing into our bodies! He was sucking our blood! Devouring our vitality! And our Soul Power!"
"I could feel my vitality rapidly draining away, my body gradually shriveling, my Soul Power being forcibly extracted, just like... just like being gnawed by countless mouths!"
"He... he is a fallen one! A demon who Cultivates by devouring others' vitality! You quickly... quickly arrest him."
At this moment, the Canghui Academy captain's accusation completely confirmed Tang San's crimes!
"Enough!"
Salas didn't wait for him to finish, but suddenly roared, interrupting the latter's words.
There was no longer any hesitation on his face, replaced by a resolute sense of righteousness and a fierce eagerness to distance himself. He suddenly turned and shouted at the Temple Knights who were already waiting behind him:
"Temple Knights, heed my order!"
"Seize Tang San for me!"
"If he dares to resist, kill him without mercy!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
As Salas's voice fell, the Temple Knights, who had long been ready, responded in unison, the clash of their armor sounding like a death knell!
Immediately after, the gleaming knightly longswords in their hands were drawn again, and then they immediately pounced towards Tang San, who was utterly suppressed by Dugu Bo's pressure and unable to move!
Seeing the Temple Knights pounce on Tang San like wolves, Master's eyes instantly turned bloodshot!
The next second, he endured the stinging pain on his face and the buzzing in his head, struggling to get up from the ground. Ignoring the blood still oozing from the corner of his mouth, he used all his strength to raise high the popes edict, which symbolized the supreme authority of Spirit Hall!
"Stop! I order you, in my capacity as an Elder of Spirit Hall! Do not arrest my Disciple! Seeing this edict is like seeing the Supreme Pontiff! Do you dare to defy the order?!"
Master tried to save Tang San with the popes edict.
However, his voice had not completely fallen.
"Whoosh!"
A blue-gold light, like a spiritual snake, shot out from Tang Chuan's hand at an imperceptible speed—it was a Blue Silver Emperor vine!
The vine was incredibly precise, not attacking Master himself, but swiftly Binding the popes edict held high in Master's hand, as if it had a life of its own!
Master only felt a numbness in his wrist, and a clever force came. He had no time to react at all, and the popes edict had already slipped from his hand, easily snatched away by the Blue Silver Emperor vine, and landed steadily in Tang Chuan's palm not far away!
Playing with the heavy popes edict in his hand, Tang Chuan glanced indifferently at the dumbfounded Master not far away, a hint of undisguised mockery on his lips, and said:
"Alright, now... you are no longer an Elder of Spirit Hall."
His light words completely shattered Master's last hope!
Without the popes edict, Yu Xiaogang was nothing in the eyes of Spirit Hall!
The Temple Knights, who had been slightly hesitant because of the popes edict, now had no more qualms!
"Seize him!"
The leading knight captain gave the order.
Immediately, several knights, like wolves and tigers, instantly pressed Tang San, who was desperately struggling and roaring, firmly to the ground, knees on his lower back, arms twisted behind him, making him unable to move!
"Let go of me! You Spirit Hall lackeys! Teacher! Save me!!!" At this moment, Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, breathing heavily like an ox, twisting and cursing frantically like a trapped beast.
"You dare to arrest me? I think you have already found your path to death!"
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of a Temple Knight. He mercilessly delivered a precise hand chop, imbued with Soul Power, to the back of Tang San's neck!
"Ugh..."
The next moment, Tang San's struggles and curses abruptly ceased, his body went limp, and he completely fainted, then was roughly lifted by this Temple Knight like a pile of mud.
