Black Dragon Mountain Founds a Sect, the Attitudes of the Various Forces

With that much said, Shui Binghan understood perfectly what Tuo Ba Yun meant. How could she dare refuse?

She had no wish to become the sinner of her family, so she hurriedly agreed.

Most of the family elders were women as well. After listening to the family head's continuous voice transmissions and sensing the terrifying strength of those opposite them, they too finally bowed their heads, unwilling though they were.

They would placate this fellow for now. There might yet be a chance to turn things around in the future.

But they had all underestimated Tuo Ba Yun's methods.

On the third day after Shui Binghan agreed to Tuo Ba Yun's demands,

a group of Titled Douluo arrived in Skywater City—eleven of them!

Half of the Titled Douluo had a terrifying red, hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring as their ninth ring.

When the Titled Douluo arrived, they first bowed to Tuo Ba Yun in unison and addressed him as Sect Master.

Then, under Tuo Ba Yun's instructions, they began moving Skywater Academy.

That day, the Heaven Dou Empire was shaken.

They received word that the Tianshui Family had joined a sect.

The imperial family was furious. How dare the Tianshui Family, which had rejected the empire for a hundred years, join another sect?

Wasn't this a slap in the face to the imperial family?

They would see just which sect it was!

And so, in a fit of anger, they sent out spies, who were even Soul Douluo in cultivation!

The spies arrived in Skywater City intending to demand an explanation.

But what they saw was a dazzling array of Soul Rings and more than ten Titled Douluo!

Their courage failed them, and they fled back to the Heaven Dou Empire, trembling as they explained what they had seen that day.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family fell silent and dared not mention Skywater Academy again.

They believed Spirit Hall had made its move.

Just like that, the Tianshui Family received no help from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and resigned themselves to their fate.

They took Skywater City and Skywater Academy into Sunset Forest with them.

Skywater Academy also became the first academy on the continent to be established in a forest.

Apart from that upheaval, nothing else out of the ordinary happened in Skywater City that day.

Tuo Ba Yun made a high-profile announcement: "From this day forth, Black Dragon Mountain will no longer seal itself off. We are establishing a sect in Sunset Forest, officially named the Black Dragon Sect.

"As Sect Master, I, Tuo Ba Yun, hereby formally invite Heaven Dou Imperial City, the Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall, and all the major sects under their jurisdiction to attend the ceremony, which will be held in three days."

The announcement shook Douluo Continent.

Both imperial families received secret letters delivered personally by Titled Douluo, inviting them to attend the ceremony.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family also came to understand that the Tianshui Family had not joined Spirit Hall, but the Black Dragon Sect.

The imperial family's various worshippers discussed the ceremony at length through the night...

Meanwhile, the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, and sects of all sizes everywhere also received invitations.

The sects summoned their worshippers back and held meeting after meeting.

At that moment, inside Spirit Hall,

a grave look flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes after he received the secret letter.

"Black Dragon Mountain is actually coming out of seclusion? I would like to see what foundations your sect has after hiding like a turtle for centuries."

"Someone, attend me!"

As soon as Qian Daoliu spoke, a Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall appeared.

He knelt on one knee.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Pass down my order. The papal succession ceremony in seven days is suspended."

The Titled Douluo froze at those words. The papal succession ceremony had been publicized for half a year. How could it simply be called off?

The new Pope was Qian Daoliu's own son, yet he was trampling his son's face underfoot just like that...

The man took a close look at Qian Daoliu and saw that the Former Pope was not joking in the slightest. He hurriedly replied,

"Yes!"

At the western sea of Douluo Continent,

the seven Ferocious Beasts had hunted and killed as many as a hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Di Tian alone had hunted two hundred great white shark Sea Soul Beasts, ensuring that the Soul Beasts in the ocean would remain peaceful for the time being.

All the Whale Rubber had been collected and stored.

Di Tian then informed the six Ferocious Beasts that they would begin hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts the next day.

At those words, grave expressions appeared on all their faces.

After all, hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beasts were far too powerful!

The next day,

Di Tian and the others kept searching the waters.

It took them a full half day to find a hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast.

It was a Netherworld Whale King, a full two hundred meters long. Its body was pitch-black like ink, with a deep blue tint to its skin.

It seemed to blend into the ocean, making it extremely difficult to detect.

Bi Ji had only managed to find it by sensing its life force.

The Ferocious Beasts gathered together.

They prepared to hunt the Soul Beast as a group. The Whale Rubber from this Sea Soul Beast would definitely weigh more than several tons.

The Netherworld Whale King possessed two skills: Netherworld Devour and Deep Sea Annihilation.

They were a darkness-type skill and an infrasonic mental attack, respectively.

Di Tian happened to counter them both.

Di Tian blocked everything for the others, his dark energy absorbing all of its attacks.

The other Ferocious Beasts only had to focus on hunting it.

The Ferocious Beasts each carried out their assigned roles. The Ice Empress froze the ocean to prevent him from escaping and to change the Netherworld Whale King's advantage at sea.

The other Ferocious Beasts unleashed their respective innate abilities: flames, the power of wood spirits, and Xiong Jun's spatial tearing ability.

In just a few hours, the Ferocious Beast let out a final cry and breathed its last.

The hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast's sudden death stained the sea with blood.

Di Tian and the others swiftly collected the Whale Rubber.

They then left the area.

Di Tian was worried that the Sea God Douluo and the Douluo of Sea God Hall would discover them.

It wasn't that he feared those Douluo; they were simply troublesome and would delay his plans for future Possession Transformation.

Di Tian's only goal was to obtain several dozen tons of hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber.

It would safeguard his cultivation after he took human form in the future.

The Ferocious Beasts now treated Di Tian's words like imperial edicts. Apart from the somewhat puzzled Snow Woman, they all did as he said.

Space tore open.

Amid a fluctuation of Soul Power, all seven Ferocious Beasts shifted across space to the southern sea.

"Everyone, rest for a few days. I'll be back shortly." After settling the Soul Beasts in, Di Tian tore open space again and left.

Before he departed, Di Tian took all the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue with him.

Inside Sunset Forest, countless pieces of Whale Rubber fell.

Di Tian's deep voice rang out.

Tuo Ba Yun dropped to his knees.

He learned that this dark yellow, viscous substance was actually Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

And from what his ancestor said, besides strengthening the physiques of young Soul Masters, this Whale Rubber could also give middle-aged men a final burst of vitality.

Tuo Ba Yun was thrilled, a smile unbefitting a Super Douluo spreading across his face.

Di Tian then asked a few more questions. Upon hearing that the old fellow was establishing the Black Dragon Sect tomorrow, he left him a reverse scale and departed.

Tuo Ba Yun kowtowed heavily.

Then he looked at the Whale Rubber and sighed.

"Ah, it's a pity the sect is being established tomorrow. Otherwise, I could try the Whale Rubber tonight!"

"Husband, what are you talking about?"

Suddenly, a purple-clad figure walked in, her belly swollen.

It was none other than the pregnant Long Aoyang.

After their last departure, the two had spent several months trying for a baby and had finally conceived.

Recently, Long Aoyang had been happy and cheerful all day long, stroking her belly and smiling foolishly.

Seeing his wife approach, Tuo Ba Yun put away his lecherous expression and replaced it with a smile, gently stroking Long Aoyang's belly.

"Ahem, it's nothing, Shuang'er. I was just wondering when our child would be born."

"Soon, in another eight months." Long Aoyang nodded, her eyes shining.

Under the moonlight, Long Aoyang thought of the day ahead.

She asked worriedly, "Husband, Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects might try to put us in our place tomorrow. Are you prepared?"

"Haha, they're the ones who should be preparing." Tuo Ba Yun smiled faintly, his right hand gripping a black dragon scale tightly. He was already looking forward to tomorrow's show.
