Just as the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament concluded in Spirit City amidst turbulent undercurrents, on the other side of the continent, at the new headquarters of the Clear Sky Sect in the misty Cloud Mist Mountain, an uninvited guest arrived.
Four incredibly powerful auras, like four sharp swords tearing through the sky, descended without any concealment before the mountain gate, causing the sea of clouds to churn.
The leader was as burly as a mountain, clad in dazzling golden armor. He was none other than the Second Worship of the Worship Hall, a Level 98 Super Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo!
Behind him, the Third Offering Azure Luan, along with the Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard from the Douluo Hall, a total of three Titled Douluo, followed him like shadows. Their auras were perfectly integrated, and their oppressive power was like a prison, enveloping the entire Cloud Mist Mountain.
"You cowards from the Clear Sky Sect, get out here!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice wasn't particularly loud, but it was like rolling thunder, carrying the supreme majesty of Level 98 Soul Power. It resounded in every mountain peak and every courtyard, making people's eardrums ache and their minds tremble.
Deep within the sect, Tang Feng, who was meditating with his eyes closed in a small courtyard, suddenly opened his eyes and looked sharply toward the mountain gate.
"What was bound to happen has finally happened," Tang Feng muttered to himself, without any fear in his eyes.
Tang Feng stood up and exchanged a glance with Tang Jian, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. They both saw the solemnity and fighting spirit in each other's eyes. The two of them moved quickly and rushed towards the mountain gate.
At this moment, the atmosphere in front of the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate was already tense.
Sect Master Tang Xiao had already led the elders to appear. His imposing figure stood firmly atop the stone steps of the mountain gate, dressed in a simple gray robe, motionless in the howling mountain wind.
Faced with the terrifying pressure of the four Spirit Hall experts, Tang Xiao remained calm and composed. His peak Level 97 Soul Power was like an invisible mountain, steadily resisting the overwhelming impact of their aura.
To Tang Xiao's right was Tang Feng's Tang Lie, Tang Lie, a cultivator at Level 96. A layer of tangible, cold, and murderous aura emanated from him— the Divine Slaughter's Domain!
Although the domain was not fully deployed, the bone-chilling cold and murderous aura emanating from it caused the agile Azure Luan Douluo opposite him to suddenly become serious.
On the left was the Fourth Elder Tang Ran, whose face was as resolute as iron, and Level 95 Soul Power was as condensed as steel.
The other elders did not step forward to confront the other party directly. Instead, they stood solemnly in various key locations around the mountain gate, their auras subtly connected and echoing each other, forming an unfathomable and incredibly solid backing. Their true strength was not fully revealed.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's gaze swept over Tang Xiao and his companions like cold lightning, and he questioned, " Tang Xiao! The agreement from back then stipulated that the Clear Sky Sect would close its gates and remain aloof from worldly affairs. Why have you reopened the gates today without authorization? Do you think the rules of my Spirit Hall are a joke?!"
Tang Xiao met the other party's sharp gaze without flinching, his voice steady. "Whether my Clear Sky Sect opens its gates, and when it opens them, is a matter for my sect. When did it become your Spirit Hall's place to interfere?"
"Hmph!" A fierce glint flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes, and his killing intent surged. "It seems you've forgotten the lessons my Spirit Hall taught you back then! Do you want to relive that nightmare and fight my Spirit Hall again today?"
"If you want war, then let's fight!" Tang Xiao's answer was only four words, but it was resolute and as firm as iron.
Before he finished speaking, Tang Xiao took a heavy step forward, the void beneath his feet seeming to tremble. His Soul Ring suddenly rose up, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
The nine Soul Ring shimmered with dazzling light, their immense and boundless aura like that of a sleeping ancient dragon awakening, soaring wildly into the sky and stirring up the winds and clouds.
Beside Tang Xiao, Tang Lie and Tang Ran simultaneously released their Soul Ring. Beneath Tang Lie's feet, after two yellow, two purple, and four black rings, the ninth Soul Ring was a vibrant, breathtaking red!
The terrifying pressure of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, mixed with the icy and bone-chilling baleful aura of the Divine Slaughter's Domain, instantly spread out, and the temperature in this world seemed to drop sharply, with an invisible sharpness and deathly aura permeating the air.
Tang Ran's feet also had a standard nine-ring configuration, and his Soul Power was strong and solid, like a volcano ready to erupt.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils contracted slightly. Although he knew that the Clear Sky Sect had a profound foundation, he had not expected that besides Tang Xiao, there would be another expert with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! This greatly exceeded his previous estimates.
Golden Crocodile Douluo dared not underestimate him any longer and also released his nine Soul Ring, enough to suffocate ordinary Titled Douluo: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Behind them, the three Douluo, Azure Luan, Demon Bear, Ghost Leopard, also revealed their nine-ring souls. Although they did not have the red Soul Ring that symbolized the pinnacle, their Soul Power shone with a deep light, clearly indicating that they had all reached level Level 95 or above. Their lineup was truly terrifying.
The two forces clashed violently in the air, their immense power creating a fierce battle that stirred up the clouds and caused even space itself to churn and ripple under the pressure.
The expressions of the four Golden Crocodile Douluo became completely solemn. The high-level combat power that the Clear Sky Sect was currently displaying was enough to contend with them head-on!
And these were only the three who were openly confronting each other. Behind them, in front of the mountain gate, were several elders whose auras were deep and interconnected, adding to the sense of unfathomable depth.
Just as tensions were running high and a critical moment was imminent, three streaks of light, each a different color but equally swift, shot down from the distant horizon like meteors tearing through the sky.
Before the light even arrived, the undisguised, majestic aura had already descended, instantly diluting the tense, iron-like atmosphere of confrontation above the mountain gate.
The light converged and landed precisely beside Tang Xiao.
The light faded, revealing three figures.
The man in the center was about forty years old, with a handsome face and a gentle and refined demeanor. He wore a spotless moon-white robe and held a seven-story glass pagoda inlaid with various dazzling gemstones in his hands. The jewels shimmered and reflected on him, making him seem as if he were shrouded in a layer of misty glow.
It was none other than Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the number one Auxiliary System in the world!
To his left was an elderly man who was unusually tall and broad-shouldered, yet appeared quite thin.
His face was aged, with deep wrinkles like the bark of an ancient tree. Only his eyes, Youyou a pale green light, silently swept over people, giving them a chilling feeling of being watched by an ancient Ferocious Beast.
It was none other Bone Douluo Gu Rong, one of the two Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
The man on the right was tall and strong, no less so than Tang Xiao.
His face was resolute, exuding an imposing aura without anger. His short hair stood on end like steel needles, and fine, dense blue-purple electric snakes crackled around his body, causing the air to distort slightly, carrying a domineering and thunderous pressure.
It is none other than Yu Yuanzhen, the current sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects!
The sudden arrival of three top experts, whose auras merged seamlessly with those of the Clear Sky Sect, immediately caused a subtle yet decisive change in the situation.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's face instantly darkened like the sky before a storm. His gaze, sharp as a knife, swept across Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's faces before finally settling on Yu Yuanzhen. His voice carried barely suppressed anger and accusation:
" Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! You... want to get involved in this mess too?!"
Ning Fengzhi still wore that warm and welcoming smile, as if he were facing not a tense confrontation between top leaders, but an ordinary meeting.
Ning Fengzhi's voice was clear and melodious, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable weight, clearly resounding throughout the surrounding area. " Golden Crocodile Worship's words are incorrect."
Ning Fengzhi slightly, his gaze calmly meeting the sharp eyes of Golden Crocodile Douluo: " The Upper Three Sects are of the same lineage and have a deep historical connection. It is our duty to help each other and it is also a long-standing principle in the Soul Master World."
Your past grievances have been settled. Now that the Clear Sky Sect has reopened its gates and is continuing its legacy, it is a great joy for the Soul Master World and should be celebrated together.
Ning Fengzhi the subject, his tone still calm, but his words were like a needle hidden in cotton. "It is your Spirit Hall that has mobilized such a large force and come to our door to coerce us... Such behavior is probably unbecoming of the demeanor and magnanimity that the 'Number One Soul Master Force in the World' should have?"
Ning Fengzhi his head slightly, seemingly with a hint of regret, and finally said meaningfully, "In my humble opinion, it's always best to leave room for maneuver in all things, so that we can meet again in the future. The Spirit Hall should not push us too far."
This statement clearly demonstrates their stance.
