Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 283 The Master Disappears, Shrek Academy Tournament in Danger? Yu Luomian Defects!
Wuhun City.

The sky was overcast, with thick clouds hanging low, as if they might collapse at any moment.

Despite some minor hiccups along the way, the fifteen college teams arrived smoothly and are gradually entering the city.

The streets were packed with Soul Masters and onlookers, cheers rising and falling. But when they saw the Shrek Academy members, a murmur rippled through the crowd.

The Shrek team members appeared unusually somber.

Dai Mubai was being supported by Shi Kui and Shi Lan from Gray Rock Academy. His face was ashen, and the lightning burns on his body had not yet subsided.

Ma Hongjun was in an even worse state. He lay on a stretcher, his face turning pale and then flushed. His lower body was in a terrible state, and he grimaced in pain with every bump. Clearly, his injuries were more severe than they appeared.

"Damn it, this injury couldn't have come at the worst time... The finals are just around the corner, and we've become a burden." Ma Hongjun complained through gritted teeth, his voice kept very low, afraid of being heard by the surrounding students.

Dai Mubai remained silent, but a hint of gloom flashed in his evil eyes.

As the captain, he understood the current situation better than anyone else.

Shrek's strength was already lacking, and it was already difficult (lucky) for him to squeeze into the top five and cross the finish line.

Now that two key players have been lost, and Xiao Wu has been persuaded by Tang San not to participate in the competition, the outcome of the upcoming matches is almost predictable...

Similarly, Liu Erlong was also worried about all of this.

She was walking at the front of the group, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings as if searching for something, but with each turn of her head, the expectation in her eyes dimmed a little.

"Teacher Erlong, Master, he..." Ning Rongrong asked cautiously.

Liu Erlong clenched her fist tightly, her nails digging deep into her palm: "He clearly said he was going to the Spirit Hall to find out some things, but it's been so many days and there's still no news!"

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress something, her mind filled with thoughts.

Could it be that he and Bibi Dong have rekindled their old flame?
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji sighed, a rare look of worry appearing on his rugged face: "How about... we go to the Spirit Hall and ask?"

Liu Erlong bit her lip and finally nodded: "Let's go tonight!"

……

That night, in front of the towering gates of the Spirit Hall, Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji were stopped by two silver-armored guards.

"Halt! This is the Spirit Hall's territory; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter!" The guards crossed their spears, their cold gleams gleaming.

Liu Erlong suppressed his anger and tried to keep his voice calm: "We are teachers from Grayrock Academy and Shrek Team. We wish to see His Holiness the Pope to inquire about the whereabouts of the Master."

The guard's voice was cold: "His Holiness the Pope is dealing with important matters and will not see any guests! If you have any important matters to discuss and wish to meet him, please have a cardinal submit an application through the proper channels."

Zhao Wuji's forehead veins bulged, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, but Liu Erlong grabbed him.

She took a deep breath, pulled out a bag of gold soul coins from her bosom, and handed it over: "Brothers, please do us a favor, we really have something urgent to attend to."

The guard weighed the money pouch in his hand, his tone softening slightly: "To tell you the truth, that person who called himself a master did come here a while ago, but as for where he went in the end... we don't know."

Liu Erlong was struck dumb, staggering back two steps: "Impossible... Could he have vanished into thin air...?"

Zhao Wuji helped her up and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back first and discuss this further."

On the way back, Liu Erlong's pace slowed down, and he finally stopped at the entrance of a dimly lit alley.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her voice was hoarse: "Teacher Zhao, I have a feeling... something happened to Xiaogang."

Zhao Wuji opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he could only pat her shoulder heavily.

……

The finals officially began the next day.

The huge circular arena was packed to capacity, with deafening cheers.

Today, Shrek Academy's opponent is the Dragon Sunflower Academy of the Star Luo Empire. The captain is a plant-type Soul Master, and their main fighting style is poison control.

In the rest area, Tang San stretched his wrists, his gaze calm.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun sat to the side. Although they had regained their mobility after a day and a night of treatment by the healing soul master, their faces were still pale.

As for Ma Hongjun's 0l0, it no longer exists, so there's no point in talking about treatment. "Little San, it's up to you now," Dai Mubai whispered.

Tang San nodded and turned to walk towards the arena.

As the match began, the Longkui Academy team members immediately released their martial spirits, and a dense poisonous mist instantly filled the entire arena.

There were exclamations from the audience.

Keep in mind that in this environment, an ordinary Soul Master wouldn't last more than three minutes!
However, Tang San stood still and didn't move.

He quietly activated his Purple Demon Eyes, making every wisp of soul power flowing within the poisonous mist clearly visible.

Suddenly! He raised his hand, and the Blue Silver Grass shot out like a serpent, precisely wrapping around Captain Longkui's entire body.

"First Soul Skill: Entanglement!"

Before the other side could react, Tang San had already used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps to quickly close the distance, and his Xuan Yu Hand struck out one after another, sealing their soul power acupoints.

Shi Kui, Sun Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing from the Limestone Academy immediately took action. Within minutes, before the poison from the Dragon Sunflower Academy could take effect, all seven had collapsed, and the match ended.

The audience erupted in uproar; no one had expected Shrek to win so easily!

Back in the rest area, the Shrek team couldn't be happy; there was no joy on their faces.

"The next match... is against Blazing Fire Academy."

Shi Kui swallowed hard and said, "Their Fiery Dance of the Sun, and our current state..."

Oscar sighed, "If only the master were here, he would definitely have a solution."

Seeing the team's predicament, Liu Erlong's gaze involuntarily drifted to the VIP seats. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, a resolute glint in his eyes: "We can't wait any longer! Rongrong, your father is on the judges' panel. Could you ask him for help?"

Ning Rongrong was taken aback, then realized: "Teacher Erlong wants my father to ask the Spirit Hall to take people away?"

Liu Erlong nodded emphatically: "The team cannot be without a master... Right now, only Sect Master Ning is qualified to find the Pope of the Spirit Hall and ask her for him."

Seeing Liu Erlong's anxious expression and then looking at the exhausted Tang San, Ning Rongrong patted her chest, her eyes filled with determination: "Teacher Erlong, don't worry! My dad loves me the most, I'll definitely make him find a way to bring Master back!"

……

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect.

Yu Xiaolie stood in the sect leader's office, the atmosphere so heavy it could drip water. His voice was cold and sharp: "You mean, Yu Luomian is missing?"

"Yes," the disciple below knelt on one knee, his forehead touching the ground, his voice trembling. "At the sect meeting a few days ago, Vice Sect Master Yu Xiaozhen noticed that Elder Yu Luomian had not attended the meeting. He sent people to check his residence and found it empty, with only some personal belongings left behind. We have already sent people to search inside and outside the sect, but we have not been able to find any trace of him."

Yu Xiaolie's eyes turned sharp as knives. Did Yu Luomian sense the danger so quickly and run away in advance?

Dark clouds gathered outside the window, and a downpour was imminent.

"Pass down the order," his voice was soft, yet it sent chills down everyone's spine: "Block all passages leading out of the Blue Lightning Sect, expand the search area, and make sure all disciples find the Jade Luo Crown no matter what."

……

On the other side, on a desolate mountain road, Yu Luomian, disguised as an ordinary merchant, fled in panic along the path leading to Wuhun City.

"Damn it...they found out about me so quickly..."

He cursed through gritted teeth, glancing back every now and then as if a demon were chasing him.

It turned out that he had noticed last month that the sect had begun a secret investigation into the commercial leak, and sooner or later it would fall on his head.

Therefore, it's definitely impossible for the family and Heaven Dou City to stay here any longer.

Neither Salas nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can protect him.

After much deliberation, Yu Luomian had no choice but to seek refuge in Wuhun City. Taking advantage of Yu Xiaolie's absence from the sect, he immediately fled.

"Your Holiness the Pope..." A glimmer of hope flashed in Yu Luomian's eyes, "You will surely protect me!"

He squeezed the horse's flanks and increased its speed.
