Du Ziteng took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and comforted himself.
He was a Second Level Earth Origin Realm cultivator, still the strongest here, and he had the Heavenly Sword Sect backing him. Nothing should happen.
But just as he finished reassuring himself, a bone-chilling aura swept in from outside the door. Its strength had clearly reached the Second Level Earth Origin Realm as well.
"Old bastard, are you trying to bully my Divine Sect?"
A cold voice rang out as a silver-haired woman in silver robes entered the hall. Her figure was full and voluptuous, and she exuded a mature charm. There was not the slightest ripple of emotion on her beautiful face.
"Xiao Xixi?!"
Long Xiao was thrilled to see her and wanted to rise to welcome Bo Saixi, whom he had not held for so long. But just as he was about to stand, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue pressed him back down from either side. Their eyes were filled with a different kind of wariness as they looked at Bo Saixi.
Damn it! She actually became the strongest among us. Bibi Dong sensed that aura and thought to herself.
Qian Renxue also understood who Bo Saixi was. Bibi Dong had introduced her before. She truly was powerful.
Pfft!
Tang San spat out a mouthful of wine upon seeing her. Wasn't this the Sea God Douluo?!
So the aura hidden within the sect had belonged to her. She had come too.
His Sea God's Nine Trials had not even been completed yet. Would she beat him up?
He never expected that the woman his great-grandfather liked had also become the sect master's woman.
"Sect Master."
Bo Saixi faced Long Xiao. Only this man could make her reveal such a rare smile, one that was brilliant, gentle, and beautiful.
She did not even spare the newcomers a glance, especially that blue-haired brat she loathed so much.
Long Xiao's eyes burned as he looked at Bo Saixi. What a peerless beauty. She had become even more alluring after her breakthrough!
Not only was her face beautiful and her figure voluptuous, but her strength had also increased so much. She had actually reached the Second Level Earth Origin Realm.
This instantly gave him 3,500 Summoning Points. Breaking through directly to the second level—no wonder it had taken so long.
More importantly, he had yet to pluck Bo Saixi. She would surely bring him tremendous gains afterward.
Bo Saixi was completely different from Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's springy softness.
Her entire body was as soft and moist as water, and she carried a sweet fragrance that gave him an immensely relaxing feeling.
"I never expected her to be the first among us to break through to the Earth Origin Realm." Qian Daoliu gave a bitter smile.
Hong Chan and Xu Zhong thought even more highly of the Divine Sect now. Xu Zhong especially remembered that this woman had only been in the Tiangang Realm not long ago.
With light steps, Bo Saixi walked to Long Xiao's side and sat down as though no one else existed. She squeezed onto the same bench with Long Xiao.
During the days she had been asleep, she had vaguely sensed what had happened in the sect. She glanced at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, her heart incomparably resolute. She would begin taking back everything that belonged to her.
"I have the Sect Master to thank for taking care of me these past days. The moment I came out of seclusion, I came to find you. I also heard about what happened from the old man who sweeps the sect's toilets. I never expected the sect to undergo such changes."
The tighter, the healthier.
Long Xiao quickly smiled. "Not bad. Very strong."
"Well... let's handle the important business first. After all, there are a few small fry watching us right now."
"Hmm?"
Noticing everyone's gazes returning to him, Du Ziteng hurriedly reined in his aura. His smile did not reach his eyes. "Hehe, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I merely wished to inquire about your sect's circumstances."
The middle-aged man from the Heavenly Sword Sect also burst into laughter. "Hahaha, so this brother is the Divine Sect's sect master! A pleasure, a pleasure! The Divine Sect, ah... that Divine Sect. We all know of it, right, Elder Ziteng?"
"Yes, yes, we have long admired the Divine Sect. I hope this sect master will not take offense." Du Ziteng came to his senses as well, cast everything else aside, and smiled apologetically.
Though he said that, his heart was full of confusion. He had never even heard of the Divine Sect, yet its foundation was so formidable.
No wonder even the imperial envoy had been so respectful. Azure City truly was not simple. They needed to continue observing and learn more about this powerful sect that had suddenly emerged.
"Hehe, when I have the chance, I'll visit the Heavenly Sword Sect as well," Long Xiao said casually.
"Good, good, good! It would be the Heavenly Sword Sect's honor for Sect Master Long to visit us."
Du Ziteng inwardly sighed in relief. It seemed to be a false alarm.
At the very least, Long Xiao had no intention of attacking them now.
"Hahaha, we are all here to help Azure City resist our enemies. I, Xu, offer everyone a toast." Xu Zhong raised his wine cup.
"Alright!"
But just as everyone was about to raise their cups, the wine cups of Du Ziteng, Hong Chan, and Bo Saixi stopped in unison. All three looked outside.
"The Demon Cloud Sect has arrived," Hong Chan said coldly.
The atmosphere in the hall immediately fell silent.
Long Xiao narrowed his eyes. "They're finally here."
Rumble!
A thunderous roar came from the sky as a flying vessel crossed the void and stopped directly above the hall's roof.
The flying vessel was enormous, as large as several houses. It was entirely black, with images of demonic creatures carved across its surface.
This flying vessel drew the attention of the entire city. The martial artists all looked up as well.
"What's going on? Why did the sky suddenly grow dark? It feels like the oppressive calm before a storm."
"I can sense demonic aura."
The city's residents discussed it among themselves.
Long Xiao and the others also came to the rooftop and saw the flying vessel.
"This flying vessel is quite nice." A strange smile appeared at the corner of Long Xiao's mouth.
The others wore solemn expressions.
They all sensed an intense baleful aura. This flying vessel was likely an extremely valuable magical treasure as well.
"Xu Zhong, you brat, today my Demon Cloud Sect has come for revenge. Are you prepared?"
A hoarse, aged voice rang out from within the flying vessel.
"Mo Yu!"
Du Ziteng and Hong Chan's expressions changed drastically.
That voice belonged to the Demon Cloud Sect's Great Elder, a Seventh Level Earth Origin Realm powerhouse. They never expected him to come as well!
