Taking the Bandit Stronghold, Establishing a Sect

Before long, Long Xiao led five Title Douluo to the bandits' stronghold.

From afar, the entire stronghold resembled a gigantic turtle sprawled across the mountainside.

"Sir, let's fly over and take them out directly. This old man is willing to lead the charge!"

Qian Daoliu looked at the massive stronghold ahead, the fringe over his forehead fluttering in the wind.

He had to show off in front of his lord and Bo Saixi.

"This venerable one is still rebuilding his cultivation and cannot fly for the time being." Long Xiao felt rather embarrassed.

On the Mystic Heaven Continent, martial artists were ranked as follows: Body Tempering, Diegang Realm, Tiangang Realm, Diyuan Realm, Tianyuan Realm, Guiyuan Realm, Shenyuan Realm, Supreme...

Each realm was divided into nine levels.

To fly, one had to reach the Tiangang Realm.

And according to the system's conversion, Title Douluo belonged to the Tiangang Realm.

"Oh, I forgot that Master is rebuilding his cultivation and cannot act casually either." Qian Daoliu nodded.

Chen Xin had mentioned before that their lord was rebuilding his cultivation, which was why he appeared so weak. But once he acted, the heavens and earth would collapse.

At least, that was what he had said.

"Dong'er, take me over there."

Long Xiao suddenly wrapped an arm around Bibi Dong's waist.

Bibi Dong's face instantly turned crimson. She had never expected that her lord would actually...

Bo Saixi felt somewhat displeased at the sight. Why did Long Xiao always ask Bibi Dong whenever he needed something done?

Couldn't she do it?

How was the grand chief priest of Sea God Island inferior to her?

Hmph!

"Let's go."

At Long Xiao's command, everyone flew toward the bandits' stronghold.

Bibi Dong also carried Long Xiao into the sky.

Inside the stronghold, the bandits on watch saw six people flying toward them, five of whom emanated powerful auras. They immediately rang the alarm bell.

"Enemy attack!"

Soon, a large number of bandits swarmed out, weapons in hand as they looked up at the sky.

Gu Rong looked at the bandits with disdain.

In his eyes, they were nothing more than a rabble. One skill would be enough to wipe out most of them.

"Do it."

Long Xiao gave the order, his arms tightly wrapped around Bibi Dong's waist for fear of falling.

But with Long Xiao holding her like that, Bibi Dong found it difficult to move, fidgeting awkwardly.

"Dong'er, you don't need to make a move."

Hearing this, Bo Saixi inexplicably grew irritated.

She clenched the scepter in her hand and swept it downward. The surging aura of ocean waves instantly sent many bandits sprawling.

Myriad Swords Return to the Sect!

Sword Douluo struck with a rain of swords that filled the sky, directly impaling many bandits to death.

[ Ding! Summoning Points +50! ]

[ Ding! Summoning Points +60! ]

...

The endless stream of notifications filled Long Xiao with delight.

"Sword bastard, you actually attacked before me. Watch my Bone Prison."

Not to be outdone, Gu Rong unleashed his skill. Massive bones burst from the ground and pierced through the bandits.

"Who dares cause trouble in my stronghold!"

A bald man carrying a saber emerged from the main hall, his sharp gaze sweeping over the area.

"My stronghold?"

"Fine. You've robbed people so many times; this time, it's our turn to rob your stronghold."

"Capture the bandit leader first!"

Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow, then burst into laughter as he charged at the man with the Holy Sword in hand.

"What?! Five Tiangang Realm experts!"

The bald man came to his senses and realized just how foolish his earlier words had been.

He was merely at the sixth level of the Diegang Realm, yet he had spoken so loudly before five great experts?!

"Oh, mother of heaven!"

The bald man turned and ran.

"Hey, where do you think you're going? If I let you escape, wouldn't Little Xi look down on me?"

Qian Daoliu was incredibly fast. Known as the Sky War God of the Spirit Continent, he caught up to the man in an instant and beheaded him with a single slash.

[ Ding! Summoning Points +400! ]

[ Summoning Points Balance: 5142 ]

Long Xiao was overjoyed.

Destroying this stronghold would not only give him his own territory, but also earn him so many Summoning Points. Not bad at all.

Bo Saixi used seawater to wash the entire stronghold clean.

The six landed in an open area.

Long Xiao looked up at the stronghold and smiled. "Everyone, this will be the starting point of our future endeavors."

"Are we going to establish a sect?" Chen Xin asked.

"That's right."

Long Xiao nodded. Only a sect could provide him with the greatest help in cultivating and allow him to summon more people.

He still had five Title Douluo summoning slots.

Ten Tiangang Realm experts probably would not be enough. He needed to lie low and develop for a while.

Everyone was thrilled upon hearing Long Xiao's words.

To them, this was a journey through another world, filled with opportunities!

"Come on. Let's check the Treasure Vault and see how many resources these bandits have."

Long Xiao led everyone to a cave, which was the bandits' treasury.

After pushing open the stone door, the six entered.

Golden radiance illuminated the entire cave. It was filled with gold coins, along with medicinal herbs, refined ores, low-grade cultivation techniques, and more.

"What is this?"

Qian Daoliu curiously picked up a crystal and weighed it in his hand. It looked somewhat like a diamond, yet not quite.

Seeing it, Long Xiao smiled. "This is a Spirit Stone. It contains spiritual energy and can be used for cultivation. It is also currency among cultivators."

He glanced around. There were not many Spirit Stones in this stronghold, only a few hundred.

Seeing so many unfamiliar things, everyone picked out strange and unusual items to play with.

"All of this will belong to the sect from now on, so we need someone to manage the finances."

"My lord, I think I can do it."

Gu Rong hurriedly volunteered. He felt that this job should be the easiest.

Long Xiao glanced at Gu Rong, then nodded. "Alright, then Dong'er will handle it."

Finance and logistics were crucial positions. He needed someone meticulous and suitable; Gu Rong was definitely not the right person.

"Me?"

Bibi Dong pointed at herself, looking overwhelmed by the favor. Then she nodded repeatedly. "I'll definitely do a good job."

Bo Saixi clenched her hand even tighter. She did not know why, but she was simply irritated.

"As for Gu Rong, the sect's conditions are rather humble for now. You can guard the gate first. Someone will replace you later."

As soon as Long Xiao said this, Gu Rong was stunned. "I'm guarding the gate? Master, that won't do!"

Who was he? What status did he hold? Was he really going to be made to guard the gate?

Chen Xin could not help laughing. "Old Bones, you're the weakest one here. How do you still have the nerve to object?"
