That is why Len holds such a grudge against him. Her father's spirits attack her. Len threatens with his ultra super special attack.

Episode 24: A New Dynasty
Len commands everyone to stay back as he tries to put an end to his old man. He completely misses. No one can explain how he missed when it looks as if he connected. En Tao catches Len and throws him up against the wall. He then sets his sights on the others, convinced that Yoh is the source of evil and attacks him. Len attacks from the back and takes up the fight with his uncle. Soon, everyone is out cold and En lectures on the uselessness of trust and friendship. They only get in the way of each person's path. Len doesn't buy it and continues his fight. The others stand with him. Len finally realizes friendship and the emblem on his back disappears. It seems that the idea of friendship was such an opposite thought that En Tao's mind became entangled and they finally start wearing away on him. Len takes his final strike to knock En Tao out of Oversoul. He's a short and rather normal looking man… especially for maintaining Over Soul form for 10 years. What could happen next?
Not ready to admit defeat, En Tao explains the legacy of the Tao family. They had always worked under the dynasty, but with the advancement of civilization, humans became scared of their shaman abilities and treated them as monsters. They were kicked out of the capital and betrayed by the people who they risked their lives for. His Oversoul, Daidohoh, is the converged souls of his ancestors. He feels he owes it to his ancestors to rebuild the Tao family name. Ren must understand this.
