The factions gathered in the Thunder Mountain Range, Scorpion Woman descended on Nine Dragon Peak
Yu Yuanzhen smiled broadly and spoke with easy confidence.
Ever since Yu Tianheng had returned defeated from the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, his Dao heart had been damaged.
After hearing his grandfather's words, he was almost ready to regain his confidence.
"Grandfather, I really want to fight this Scorpion Woman! My Soul Power has already broken through to rank 53 Soul King."
He harbored a pent-up frustration.
He could not defeat Tang San, yet now this Scorpion Woman from the Underworld was actually coming to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Then this was the best opportunity to prove himself!
"Not bad. Becoming a Soul King at twenty-two-you have a promising future."
As for the future hope of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...
His own son's character build had been ruined.
Yu Yuanzhen pinned his hopes on his grandson, a hopeful gleam appearing in his eyes.
Boom!
Just as the clan members were talking...
The winds and clouds in the sky changed.
A mass of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the previously clear, boundless sky.
Beneath the dark clouds, a scorpion-shaped magic formation appeared.
Then came a steel warship.
The people of the Underworld had crossed the void.
"Have they arrived?"
Blazing eagerness appeared in the eyes of the brothers Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.
The entire Douluo Continent witnessed this scene.
"Third Brother, look!"
Ma Hongjun released his Martial Soul and spread his phoenix wings.
He flew through the air to scout ahead and saw everything happening in the Thunder Mountain Range before them.
"Could the people of the Underworld have arrived already?"
Tang San's eyes flashed. "Keep moving!"
He instructed Fatty, and the two quickened their pace.
Although they could see the strange change in the sky above the Thunder Mountain Range from far away...
In reality, reaching the Thunder Mountain Range would still take at least two days.
Everything had happened too quickly.
At the foot of the Thunder Mountain Range.
"Old Ghost? Have the people of the Underworld arrived?"
Yue Guan folded his arms across his chest.
He flexed his fingers as though admiring a work of art.
Gui Mei fell silent. "His Holiness the Pope has not arrived yet. I don't know when we will act."
"His Holiness the Pope said to wait until the Underworld and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan start fighting. We only need to reap the benefits."
Yue Guan's voice was soft.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
Right behind them...
Stood more than a hundred Soul Saint-level experts.
With the two of them, both Titled Douluo, leading them...
This force was exceptionally powerful.
Yet at this moment, they remained hidden at the foot of the mountain, holding their position.
On Seven Treasure Mountain.
Bone Douluo's long hair streamed behind him, his body clad in black armor. "Fengzhi, the people of the Underworld have arrived!"
What an Underworld.
It had been less than two hours since they had declared the Thunder Mountain Range their first stop.
Yet they had already arrived!
"Just looking at this power gives a sense of defilement. This Underworld probably isn't a righteous faction!" Chen Xin of the Seven Kill Sword stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
Ning Fengzhi stood in the square. "I wonder how things are going with the Heaven Dou army led by Xue Qinghe..."
He was somewhat uncertain as well.
"Once the crown prince's army arrives, we can practically pour out in full force and send her tumbling, horse and rider alike!"
Bone Douluo looked restless.
He had heard that his close friend Chen Xin had joined forces with Dugu Bo last time, only for both to be defeated by that so-called Lion King of the Underworld.
He refused to accept it.
He wanted to fight the people of the Underworld too!
"No."
Ning Fengzhi saw how Gu Rong became impulsive and lost his reason whenever a battle arose.
It was truly inadvisable.
As the clan master, he considered more. "Mobilizing the entire clan and pouring out in full force is truly inadvisable."
"Let's first see how the other factions react. Remember, Hades's resurrection benefits no one on the entire Douluo Continent."
"Uncle Jian, why don't you go alone this time? But under no circumstances are you to act."
Upon hearing this...
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes shifted, and he nodded. "Understood, Fengzhi. I'll go on ahead."
He understood the clan master's considerations.
This approach did indeed take the clan's interests into account.
Moreover, this time Shrek Academy and the Heaven Dou Empire's army would be taking action.
He believed the role he could play would be negligible as well.
All he needed to do was sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
In the secluded mountains of the Far North.
Unending snow covered them all year round.
Here, above broken walls and ruins, a lone city had been built in midair.
The Clear Sky Sect.
"Sect Master, it's someone from the Underworld." Tang Hu, a fourth-generation disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, pointed at a black figure appearing on the Heavenly Screen.
Tang Xiao had led the five elders onto a high platform outside the sect, where they now watched the Heavenly Screen.
Tang Xiao said, "What level has this Scorpion Woman reached?"
His face held a questioning look.
"Hmph! How high a realm could a mere woman reach?" Blazing Sun Douluo spoke from beside him.
His face was full of disdain, his tone mocking.
Tang Xiao, however, shook his head. "When Lion King descended before, even two Titled Douluo were no match for him. We should not underestimate the enemy."
"That Lion King was ultimately just a Soul Beast. This Scorpion Woman is presumably a scorpion."
"Since when did the Douluo Continent become a place where a pack of Soul Beasts could act so arrogantly? Sect Master, there's no need for them this time. I, Blazing Sun Douluo, will personally take action and slaughter these Soul Beasts!"
"Seventh Elder, you're letting your emotions control you."
The Second Elder beside him shook his head.
"Seventh Elder, what happened back then was Spirit Hall's doing. You really shouldn't place all your efforts on her. Besides, Tang Hao has already paid the price for it."
The brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao shared a deep bond.
Seeing that the Seventh Elder still harbored hatred toward Tang Hao and his wife, and even gnashed his teeth in fury at the sight of a Soul Beast, Tang Xiao felt utterly helpless.
"In any case, Blazing Sun Douluo cannot leave the sect without permission!"
"Fine, I won't go down the mountain. I just think that for you to be so wary of this Scorpion Woman is truly..."
"She's merely a woman, and a transformed Soul Beast at that. I'd like to see how this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan handles her!"
As Blazing Sun Douluo's words fell...
Everyone in the sect looked toward the Heavenly Screen.
The Heavenly Screen showed live images of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"We've reached the Thunder Mountain Range."
Aboard the enormous warship.
Slender women wearing black armor descended from the warship one after another.
Scorpion Woman glanced back.
More than ten of her followers had already appeared.
"There's no hurry to reveal ourselves. Come with me to investigate the specific situation on this mountain."
"Yes!"
Scorpion Woman's soldiers all obeyed her instructions.
Soon.
Scorpion Woman walked alone, step by step, toward the mountaintop in the Thunder Mountain Range.
Nine Dragon Peak.
At its highest point.
Everyone in the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had now gathered in the vast square.
Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen.
Second Elder Yu Luomian.
The third-generation disciples, the brothers Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.
Clack.
Clack.
Scorpion Woman was fully armed, her head enclosed in armor.
As her feet touched down, the machinery struck the stone paving beneath them.
The sound rang throughout the square.
When Scorpion Woman's figure appeared at the far end of the square...
Up ahead, Yu Tianheng abruptly raised his head.
A layer of icy chill congealed in the air.
