douluo dalu: the rise of the sacred gear sect

With the city under his influence, Xian Ye shifted his focus toward securing the people's hearts. Using the wealth generated by his businesses, he funded soup kitchens, repaired dilapidated roads, and provided free medical treatment for the poor. He ensured that the Sacred Gear Sect was seen not as conquerors but as saviors.

Crime rates dropped drastically as the Anbu eliminated dangerous criminals in the dead of night. Shopkeepers and merchants felt safe, knowing that an unseen force was protecting them. The people started referring to Xian Ye as 'The Guardian of Nouding City.'

The City Lord observed these developments cautiously, unsure whether to welcome or fear this new force. Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall branch in Nouding City became increasingly wary. Their intelligence agents reported on the swift changes, and whispers of a powerful faction with unknown backing reached the ears of higher-ups.

Spirit Hall elders debated whether to intervene, but without concrete evidence of wrongdoing, they hesitated. After all, the city was prospering under Xian Ye's unseen rule.

In the alleys and streets, whispers spread like wildfire. The Sacred Gear Sect was no longer just a shadowy entity—it was a beacon of hope.

And Xian Ye knew that soon, the entire continent would hear his name.

As Xian Ye continued solidifying his rule, a group of notorious bandits attempted to raid the outskirts of Nouding City. Seizing this opportunity, Xian Ye deployed a squad of Anbu to eliminate the threat.

The battle was swift and brutal. With their superior combat techniques, stealth, and overwhelming Spirit King-level power, the Anbu slaughtered the bandits with precision. Their mastery of assassination and direct combat left no survivors. Witnesses, including city guards and merchants, were left in awe.

News of this decisive victory spread like wildfire. The forces of Nouding City, including the City Lord and Spirit Hall, were shocked. Who were these mysterious warriors? And who commanded them?

The Sacred Gear Sect's name echoed through the city, no longer just a shadowy rumor but an undeniable force to be reckoned with.
