Chapter 582: Mengyue’s Unwillingness Chapter 582: Mengyue’s Unwillingness In the noisy viewing area.

Su Mo sat in his seat and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he never expected Man Dao to die.

Logically speaking, he didn’t kill anyone in the arena.

After knocking the opponent unconscious, he stopped dealing damage.

With Man Dao’s injuries at that time, he took some pills after getting off the stage.

At most, he would be full of energy in three days.

It wouldn’t even take three days.

After all, the demons ‘physiques were far stronger than he had imagined.

But even so.

In the end, he still died.

If he hadn’t encountered the theft of the treasures at the Falling Star Lake…
His death might cause quite a stir.

But now, everyone’s attention was attracted by the stolen treasure.

As a result, Man Dao’s death was silent and did not cause a single splash.

Honestly speaking, Su Mo could be like everyone else and not pay too much attention to this matter.

Because Man Dao’s death had nothing to do with him.

Even if he died from serious injuries, it could only be said that his skills were inferior to others. He could not blame others.

However, Su Mo keenly sensed that there was something strange about this matter.

A favorite who should not have died suddenly died.

If it wasn’t for his reckless cultivation or medicine, his injuries would have worsened.

The biggest possibility was that he had been assassinated.

Thinking about it carefully, this kind of thing was normal.

If there were subordinates in Man Dao’s faction who coveted his position.

Or perhaps there were enemies who deliberately bribed the people around him to attack him.

Moreover, some people could not stand the potential he displayed in the arena and wanted to kill him in advance.

These were all possible.

However, Su Mo would always link his death to the Quasi-Sage crisis he had shown yesterday.

What if it wasn’t some kind of attack from his own body, but a powerful trump card?

Then perhaps someone had come for that trump card.

Su Mo did not know what that trump card was.

If someone else knew the news in advance, it would be the best opportunity to steal that trump card while Man Dao was seriously injured.

Killing Man Dao in passing would further prevent the other party from investigating.

And most importantly, the reason why trump cards were trump cards was that the fewer people who knew about them, the better.

Other than Man Dao, no one else knew about that trump card.

In this way, if they killed the only person who knew about it, no one would be able to find any clues even if they wanted to.

Considering that precious treasures had also been stolen from the Fallen Star Lake.

This happened last night.

It could be the same person.

If he expanded his imagination further…
Perhaps there was an extremely important connection between the two.

For example, it was because of Man Dao’s trump card that the thief could successfully sneak into the Heavenly Star Lake and steal the treasure of the Falling Star Lake.

Of course, this was only one of the speculations.

As for other speculations, there were also many.

Su Mo went through all the relevant clues in his mind and made a rough deduction.

At this moment, Fei Yue patted his shoulder and said with pity,”
” Brother, listen to your brother’s advice. Surrender as soon as possible after you go on stage later, so that you don’t lose your life in the arena.”

When Su Mo heard this, he couldn’t help but be slightly startled.

He looked up and immediately knew why Fei Yue said that.

Today was the third round of the competition, the top twenty.

In order to ensure enough suspense and prevent the contestants from preparing for their opponents in advance, the two of them had to fight.

Unlike two days ago, Fallen Star Lake did not announce the details of the battle in advance.

Instead, it was announced before the start of the competition.

Just a moment ago, the expressionless referee had scattered the white and black chess pieces with the names of twenty people on them in front of everyone. He had given the name list and order of the duel.

Several of the top favorites for the championship were also among them.

Unfortunately, the four of them were determined to have a duel this time.

They were the third match, Starline Battle Mengyue.

And the eighth match, Li Battle God Hua.

As for the other two champions, Fei Yue and Long Qiu, they were lucky enough to face the other ordinary contestants.

It was not as coincidental as they were.

It was no wonder Fei Yue would try to persuade him.

Just by pricking up his ears, Su Mo could hear the people around him looking down on him.

“Starline is really unlucky. In the second round, he faced Brutal Blade, and in the third round, he faced Dream Moon. He’s fighting against two of the top favorites for the championship.”

“You’re right. If I were in the position of the star pattern, I would have given up long ago if I had known that this would be the result. Swords and sabers had no eyes on the stage. If one was not careful, they might even die on the stage. It was not enough to stay alive.”

” That’s true. It’s very difficult to pass a duel between two seeded contestants. After all, none of the contestants who are among the favorites for the championship are easy to deal with. It’s fine if the time of the duel is shifted, but it’s impossible to recover after such an intense battle with just a day’s rest. Forcefully fighting against two of the favorites for the championship will leave unimaginable aftereffects even if you don’t die!”

“Yeah, not to mention that Starline had a miserable victory yesterday. The injuries on his body seem to be even more serious than Man Dao’s. Now that Man Dao is dead, Starline might die at any time.”

“It’s hard to say. Starline’s complexion looks normal, and his aura is stable. However, everyone who saw his serious injuries yesterday should know that he’s probably bluffing. In fact, he’ll fall with just one poke. Let alone Mengyue, who’s also a favorite to win the championship, even if I were to go up, I’m afraid I’d be able to knock him off the stage in a few moves.”
