After Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and the others bid farewell to Yu Xiaogang and left, Tang San and his friends were left in shock. They couldn't have imagined that things would turn out this way.
They had assumed that Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would accompany them to Sea God Island and remain loyal to them. However, the unexpected happened—Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing quit Shrek, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also withdrew from the Heaven Dou Empire's camp.
Tang San's face turned ugly, and he felt a surge of killing intent towards the seemingly self-satisfied Xiao Wu. However, Yu Xiaogang felt even more fearful. As a weaker individual, he relied on the strong protection of others, especially the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Now that they had left, he felt vulnerable and afraid.
Tang San realized the gravity of the situation but didn't want to provoke the Holy Spirit Cult's master, who was very powerful. He believed that only after completing the God's Trial and advancing his strength could he face the Holy Spirit Cult without fearing for his life.
Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, wondered if the girl they encountered before was really Xiao Wu. He questioned if she had told Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others about the incident with Flanders. The possibility of the girl being Xiao Wu made him even more terrified, fearing her vengeance.
Liu Erlong, who also witnessed the events, started to consider the girl's true identity. She suspected that the girl was indeed Xiao Wu and felt more convinced when she saw Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and others' strange decisions. If the girl was Xiao Wu, Liu Erlong knew she couldn't deceive herself. This made her determined to avenge Flanders if it turned out Yu Xiaogang was responsible for his death.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang discussed their options, and while Tang San acknowledged the potential threat, he was cautious due to his fear of Liu Yuan's strength. The memory of their last encounter haunted him, and he knew he couldn't challenge Liu Yuan until his power had significantly grown.
In the end, Tang San chose to wait until he had completed the God's Trial and gained more power before confronting Liu Yuan. This decision disappointed and frustrated Yu Xiaogang, who felt trapped by the circumstances.
They watched as Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu's group departed, disappearing from their sight. After that, Ning Fengzhi and his group rushed towards the Pope's Hall in the Spirit Hall, as per Liu Yuan's orders.
Upon arriving at the Pope's Hall, they found Bibi Dong had just returned and was resting, unaware of the incoming forces from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
