Chapter 9: chapter 9: Cloud and Saber’s Debut—Shocking the Continent
The rapid expansion of the Sacred Gear Sect had not gone unnoticed. The Heaven Dou Empire, Spirit Hall, and even regional factions were actively investigating the mysterious force reshaping Nouding City. However, no one was prepared for the event that would shake the continent.
Xian Ye stood at the heart of his newly established sect headquarters, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. It was time to reveal his next move—introducing his two greatest warriors to the world.
"Cloud. Saber," he called calmly.
From the shadows, two figures emerged. Cloud Strife, with his spiky blond hair and massive Buster Sword, carried an aura of indomitable strength. Saber, clad in her silver and blue armor, radiated a noble and imposing presence. Both of them were peak-level Titled Douluo, an unimaginable force in this region.
"You will make your debut today," Xian Ye stated. "Your mission is simple: establish the Sacred Gear Sect's dominance in the open."
The two warriors nodded, their unwavering loyalty evident in their eyes.
A Grand Entrance—The Shock of Nouding City
Word spread like wildfire across the city—two unparalleled experts had arrived, representing the emerging force that had reshaped the city from the shadows. To the astonishment of all, these figures did not hide their auras. Instead, their overwhelming pressure swept through Nouding City like a storm, sending weaker cultivators to their knees.
The City Lord rushed to the scene, his expression filled with shock and dread. Beside him stood the Spirit Hall branch leader, their mind racing as they sensed the raw power of the two warriors before them.
Cloud took a step forward, his presence alone suffocating. "From today onward, the Sacred Gear Sect will oversee Nouding City. All who oppose will be crushed."
His words echoed like a divine decree, leaving no room for doubt.
Saber unsheathed her invisible sword, her golden gaze sweeping across the gathered elites. "Those who seek order and prosperity shall find sanctuary within the sect. Those who disrupt it shall face judgment."
The declaration sent waves through the assembled forces. The captain of the city guard clenched his fists, his voice barely steady. "Who... who are you? What is the Sacred Gear Sect's true purpose?"
Xian Ye, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward with a smirk. "The Sacred Gear Sect is the dawn of a new era. You may either stand with us... or be swept away by the tide."
The Reaction of the Major Forces
News of the event spread beyond Nouding City within hours. Reports flooded into the Heaven Dou Empire, Spirit Hall, and various powerful sects. The revelation that a newly emerging force possessed not one, but two Titled Douluo-level experts sent shockwaves across the continent.
In the imperial palace of Heaven Dou, the Emperor's expression turned grave as he read the report. "Two unknown Titled Douluo? From an unheard-of sect? Investigate this immediately."
Within Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, her mind already calculating. "The Sacred Gear Sect... This is no ordinary faction. We must determine their origins before they become a threat."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was no exception. Ning Fengzhi, accompanied by Sword Douluo Chen Xin, remained silent for a long moment before speaking. "A faction capable of producing warriors of this caliber... We cannot ignore them."
The Sacred Gear Sect Stands Tall
Back in Nouding City, the declaration had left an undeniable impact. The citizens, long beneficiaries of the sect's hidden protection, openly expressed their support. Merchants, nobles, and commoners alike whispered in reverence of the unseen ruler who had safeguarded them.
Xian Ye stood atop the highest tower of his sect, gazing at the world below. He had laid the foundation. Now, with Cloud and Saber's dominance revealed, the Sacred Gear Sect had truly stepped into the light.
"This is just the beginning," he murmured to himself. "Let the world witness our rise."
