"Ouroboros... Tower? I'm sorry, your majesty Poison Douluo. I haven't heard anything about it before. Myself and even most others only knew of the term 'Ouroboros' and didn't know much. I believe you should understand, given the elusiveness of your organization till now."
"Almost no one in the continent knows anything about it. Whether it's time of creation or the time since it has existed."
Dugu Bo nonchalantly smiled at Ning Fengzhi's words. And of course, he could also easily infer Ning Fengzhi's intention of getting some information from him.
To this, Dugu Bo just silently smiled without much intention of saying anything.
If it was his old self who was quite irritable due to the constant threat to his and Dugu Yan's life because of poisoning, he might've said something irrational.
But now, not to mention his poison problems are as good as gone.
After following Rayne, the kind of things Dugu Bo has seen, has set his standards very high.
So... How to put it?
Dugu Bo really doesn't take these any of the so-called three great sects seriously anymore.
'Once you've gotten even a glimpse of the grandness and prosperity of our Ouroboros city, you'll realize how insignificant the so-called 'One hall, Two empires, and Three Sects' are.'
Dugu Bo thought so, with a hint of sarcasm.
"Your majesty the Poison Douluo, can you tell this Ning, why you have come to visit my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? You mentioned earlier that you had something to inform us?"
Seeing that he couldn't get anything from Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi got straight to the point.
Dugu Bo was also not too interested in staying for long. So, he too, stopped beating around the bush and started to carry out what he came here for.
He took out a gold and silver envelope from his storage soul guide and politely handed it to Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi, as well as the two titled douluo's accompanying him, were somewhat confused at this.
"This?! What is this?!"
At the same time, the more powerful Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo felt faint, yet terrifying aura from the gold and silver envelope.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, in particular, felt this aura more clearly, and for a moment, he was shocked and wanted to stay away from this envelope.
Dugu Bo saw this reaction and smiled slightly.
He knew that only a very few, who are considered a bit decent by Rayne, among the level 94+ Titled Douluo, can feel the will left on the envelope.
Seeing the reactions of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, especially Sword Douluo Chen Xin who could clearly feel the divine will on the envelope... Dugu Bo felt quite jealous.
Back then, he couldn't even sense the divine will. He was as clueless and ignorant of this will, the same as Ning Fengzhi, a level 79 Soul Saint.
Thinking back Dugu Bo feels quite embarrassed.
'Just like Lord Rayne said. I really was a small fry back then!'
Dugu Bo thought secretly, but didn't feel much now.
Because now, he is no longer the weakest Titled Douluo anymore.
Even among all Titled Douluo's in the continent, he is considered very competent.
Unknown to Dugu Bo's thoughts, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were quite tense right now.
"Fengzhi, this envelope is weird! I feel something terrifying from it!"
"Be careful!"
Both Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong hastily reminded their sect leader.
"Hm? Dangerous?"
Ning Fengzhi was stunned at the panicked reminders from his two trusted Titled Douluo's.
"Your majesty the Poison Douluo?"
He couldn't help but look at Dugu Bo with a doubtful look.
At the same time, he looked at the envelope with a serious and scrutinizing look.
To be called 'weird' and 'terrifying' by a level 96 Super Douluo.
While wary, Ning Fengzhi was also a bit curious about it.
Seeing the reactions from the three, Dugu Bo sighed helplessly and said.
"Don't act so afraid and cowardly! What you're feeling is the faint will of our leader! The fact that you are able to feel it, is an acknowledgement of your strength and cultivation!"
"Sect leader Ning, feel free to accept it without any worries. At the level of my leader, he wouldn't bother with sneak attacks and hidden tricks."
Although Dugu Bo said so, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, were still very afraid and alert.
Regardless, the more calm and composed Ning Fengzhi gracefully took the envelope from Dugu Bo.
After holding it for a moment and feeling nothing happened, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had a similar reaction.
"This is an invitation to the World Power Gathering that is scheduled almost a month later, according to our leader's wishes."
"At the same time, this invitation also acts as a one-time use ticket to enter the Ouroboros City, where the grand meeting is scheduled to take place at."
After handing over the envelope, Dugu Bo stated calmly.
"World Power Gathering?!"
Ning Fengzhi and the other two were stunned and confused by this term.
This time, instead of just inquiring with Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi careful opened the envelope and took out a big golden invitation letter from it.
After taking a look at the content in the invitation letter, Ning Fengzhi had a vague idea about what this 'World Power Gathering' meant.
His expression turned serious and even a bit grave.
"Your majesty the Poison Douluo, according to what is written in this invitation, every major powers on the continent is being invited to this gathering initiated by the leader of your Ouroboros Tower?"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly feels that this Ouroboros Tower is very arrogant and ignorant.
Even more so than he ever felt about the domineering Spirit Hall!
"Your majesty the Poison Douluo, don't you think it is very arrogant of your leader to invite all the great powers in the continent? Does your Ouroboros Tower really have this face?"
Ning Fengzhi asked in a sarcastic tone.
He felt a bit ridiculous at this kind of invitation from Ouroboros Tower.
If they are inviting all the powers in the continent to their place, doesn't this imply that Ouroboros Tower is above all the great powers in the continent?
Ning Fengzhi also felt rather insulted at his sect being not taken seriously.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo understood the meaning of Ning Fengzhi's words. At the same time, they also looked at Dugu Bo with displeasure.
As part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they also felt a bit insulted.
Dugu Bo was silent for a moment, before a sneer appeared on his face.
"Hehehe... Hahaha!"
He even started to laugh coldly in undisguised disdain.
"Ah... It seems you're misunderstanding something here. The fact that our leader is even bothering to invite you, is his politeness. Not because he takes you seriously."
"After the invitations are sent, if any of the invited try to evade the gathering without a valid reason... Our leader will personally destroy that force! Don't think I'm joking with you! These words were personally said by our leader, the Great Ouroboros!"
After saying this, Dugu Bo stood up and looked at Ning Fengzhi and the other two again.
"Sect leader Ning and you two! I advice you not to jump around and scheme like you do with Spirit Hall! Unless you think you can withstand the wrath of a God! Our leader is indeed quite tolerant, but he isn't tolerant to double faced people like you!"
"The invitation has been sent, now I'll be leaving since I have a few more invitations to send."
"Farewell, till we meet again!"
Dugu Bo turned around and left the Hall with a straight gait and firm steps, amid the solemn and upset expressions of Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluos.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Dugu Bo's words revealed some things that made the trio very solemn.
"A God..."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin muttered, feeling a sense of false reality. He even thought this was just a bluff from Dugu Bo.
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong also thought so, or so they would like to believe.
But a world-shocking event from a couple of years ago reminded them that, Dugu Bo might not be bluffing at all.
About a little more than two years ago.
A large piece of area that was haunted by Wolf Thieves, Dark Soul Masters, bandits and all sorts of evils. Basically a land considered an outlaw wasteland by the Heaven Dou Empire.
Such a land a purged and taken under control by the Ouroboros organization and even built a massive city, which is actually inaccessible to anyone other than it's members.
At the same time, this attracted the attention of Heaven Dou Royal Family.
While they felt provoked that a land within the empire is not within their control, they also coveted the elusive and mysterious city.
After the imperial decrees were directly ignored by the Ouroboros organization, which is now called Ouroboros Tower.
The Heaven Dou Royal Family, taking the risk into consideration, dispatched a strong army of 100,000 to conquer the Ouroboros City.
This event had garnered a lot of attention from all over the continent.
And because of this attention, they also got to witness a scene of destruction, that could only be rivaled by the Meteor Fall Judgement on Star Dou Empire by the legendary God of Contracts.
The mysterious leader of the Ouroboros Tower, with a blinding flash of red light, wiped out the strong army of 100,000 men, in a matter of seconds.
The terrifying shockwave shook the entire continent!
The traces of the destruction caused by that horrifying attack still remains, as there is a deep abyss, that is about 80 kilometers wide in diameter and about 10 kilometres in depth.
This level of destructive power is something no human could possibly harness.
It was also because of personally witnessing that overwhelming power that, Ning Fengzhi and others couldn't deny Dugu Bo's words, 'wrath of a God'.
Ning Fengzhi leaned back on his couch, a bit tiredly. He rubbed the center of his eyebrows, sighing.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone. I'm afraid the world is about to undergo some great changes! Be it good or bad, hopefully our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan can get through it!"
Ning Fengzhi's worried sigh echoed in the hall.
...
At the same time, in a different room in Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Two beautiful women were sitting at a table, opposite to each other.
One of them looked to be about in her late teens, with purple hair and eyes. She had a lazy expression on her heroic face as she took a sip of tea.
Although seated, her body features were quite voluptuous and definitely enticing and attractive to a man.
Dressed in a purple green not-too-loose outfit, she was certainly an attractive woman with a strange seductive charm.
Opposite to her was a relatively younger, but very beautiful girl.
She had long and smooth brown hair and black eyes, and very exquisite facial features. While her body figure wasn't as voluptuous as the other woman, it might also be due to her young age.
Dressed in an elegant and exquisite bluish-green dress, she looked like a kind and beautiful princess in fantasy stories.
But her somewhat intriguing expressions when she looked at the other woman, might suggest something else?
"Dugu Yan, what did your grandfather come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Is it to join our sect? Why are you here as well?"
The girl in azure clothes asked in a curious yet mischievous tone.
"Ning Rongrong, I'm simply tagging along with my grandpa, since I'm returning to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. As for my grandpa joining your sect? That won't happen. You see this badge?"
The woman in purple green dress, Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Dugu Bo, pointed to a purple '∞' badge on her chest.
"Both me and my grandpa are already members of Ouroboros Tower! So keep your little thoughts of recruiting us, to yourself!"
