Fang Lin Kong certainly wouldn't have the leisure to release the Golden Consorts, who were comfortably settled in the Heaven and Earth Wisdom Book, to participate in the Underground Arena tournaments. The only other being in this world who possessed Golden Consorts was Darsin King.
After collaborating with the True Flame Sect, Darsin King finally established a foothold. His newly opened Golden Holy Order prioritized gathering a large number of subordinates. Therefore, he dispatched the remaining thirty-seven Golden Consorts to various Underground Arenas to recruit personnel.
Those who could emerge from these Underground Arenas certainly had some skills. Darsin King was now open-minded in his recruitment; as long as someone was willing to pledge allegiance, he would accept them regardless of their background.
The Future Seer seemed completely uninterested in White Whale Born's presence. After a brief greeting, he shifted his attention, making a clicking sound with his tongue. "Darsin King is such a fool; he still hasn't learned his lesson. Coming to this era without understanding the need to adapt and only sticking to his old ways. He still doesn't grasp the difference between civilized society and slave society. Truly foolish!"
White Whale Born silently cursed, "You're the fool!" However, such internal grievances only served to highlight his helplessness. The Future Seer didn't need to lift a finger or use any spells to render White Whale Born immobile, not even sealing his ability to speak. If the Future Seer wished, he could erase White Whale Born's thoughts or even his soul imprint with just a thought.
After giving a slight warning to White Whale Born not to act recklessly, the Future Seer abandoned his restraint. He focused all his mental energy on a Golden Consort currently fighting in the arena, a strange smile creeping onto his lips as if he were talking to himself but ensuring that White Whale Born heard him clearly. "If I were to kidnap these Golden Consorts, I wonder how Darsin King would react? Would he be furious or would he give up entirely..."
White Whale Born dared not interject with such questions. Darsin King's emergence had already stirred quite a commotion in the Dark World. As an important member of the International Demon Alliance, White Whale Born was quick to grasp various news and information. The appearance of three new Divine Extremities—Liexiezi, Darsin King, and the True Flame Sect's leader from the East—was a tremendous shock for both yokai and cultivators among humans alike. The Azure Sky Ancestor had yet to reveal any power in public, so no one knew there was actually a fourth...
The Future Seer's actions were bold and not merely talk. He patted White Whale Born on the shoulder with a cheerful smile and said, "If I personally kidnapped these women, it wouldn't be very honorable. So I’d like to trouble you to do it for me." Just as White Whale Born was about to refuse, an inexplicable force invaded his mind. Suddenly, his eyes turned crimson as he let out a low growl and charged into the arena.
In the midst of battle were two fighters: one was a Golden Consort under Darsin King, while the other was a senior staff member from the International Yokai Alliance China Branch. Upon seeing White Whale Born appear, this person shouted loudly, "Hey! White Whale Born! I saw her first; don't interfere... Ah!" With no clarity of mind left, White Whale Born saw an obstacle in his path and threw a powerful punch, unleashing crackling lightning that sent the opponent flying. The Golden Consort had been following Darsin King for quite some time and possessed considerable golden spiritual energy; her combat skills were not low either. If White Whale Born had been clear-headed, it might have taken hours before determining a victor. But now under the control of the Future Seer, White Whale Born's demonic power surged explosively; with just one move, he captured this Golden Consort and amidst laughter that sounded quite lewd, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist and charged toward the next fighting arena.
Darsin King had dispatched sixteen Golden Consorts at the Underground Arena of the International Yokai Alliance China Branch. Among them were several whose demonic power exceeded ten thousand. However, under White Whale Born's rampaging demonic energy, he breezed through all sixteen opponents without needing a second move. Colleagues from the International Yokai Association China Branch witnessed White Whale Born unleash his power for the first time and couldn't help but think: "Indeed, it's true that beautiful women are a man's motivation. Usually we don't see him so desperate; he's so fierce when it comes to women—did he take some kind of enhancement?"
In an unnoticed corner where no one paid attention, the Future Seer drew an extremely complex magical symbol with his hands. His smile never faded as he muttered to himself: "If Darsin King's Golden Consorts or True Flame Sect's Underworld Black Dragon Legion were suddenly snatched away, I wonder if that old fellow from the East would still have the mood to target me? But if Darsin King and that Eastern figure discover they are trying to assassinate nine Divine Extremities... would they cry?"
In the Future Seer's hands floated tiny black specks so minuscule they resembled dust drifting slowly around. If one could observe them through a high-powered magnifying glass up close, they would discover that these black specks were actually a swarm of tiny black drakes. If magnified thousands or millions of times, their fierce faces, agile limbs, outstretched wings accompanied by trails of black flames would reveal how terrifying they truly were. Yet now, they were merely Magical Pets confined within their cage.
In the luxurious suite of a hotel in the city where Fang Lin Kong resided, Camberto held a mobile phone worth six thousand dollars, his face pale as it had been reduced to ashes by the sinister Black Flame. The call he had just received from the headquarters of the True Flame Sect had pushed his anger to its peak. The Underworld Black Dragon Legion! The strongest force vying for supremacy on Earth, the last trump card of the True Flame Sect, had now completely vanished. The combat power of a single Underworld Black Dragon was already comparable to Kyo Kusanagi; aside from differences in battle experience and wisdom, an Underworld Black Dragon could easily sweep through a regular knight order of the Demon Hunting Team.
However, just moments ago, all the Underworld Black Dragons had disappeared. How could Camberto not be furious? Upon learning this news, Dongfang wasted no time and rushed back immediately. The plan involving three top experts to assassinate Fang Lin Kong was thus canceled. Darsin King stood behind Camberto, appearing relaxed, yet secretly astonished. He had witnessed the power of the Underworld Black Dragons; if he fought one-on-one, he was confident he could slay a dragon successfully, but if Camberto intervened, he would surely meet a bitter end. Now that they had all been taken away, this person's strength must far exceed his own.
Capturing an Underworld Black Dragon alive was far more difficult than killing one. Although Darsin King did not know how many of these formidable creatures the True Flame Sect possessed, he estimated there should be at least three to seven. By that calculation, this enemy could only be described as terrifying.
As Darsin King pondered this, another phone appeared in Camberto's hand. After answering it, Camberto handed it to Darsin King and said slowly, "Your thirty-seven Golden Consorts have been captured by a creature from the International Demon Alliance called White Whale Born. It is said that within five hours, he swept through seven Underground Arenas, injuring many and taking all your possessions. He is currently holding a naked running event in the Pacific. If you arrive late, seeing thirty-seven green hats together will be quite a spectacle..."
Before Camberto could finish speaking, Darsin King's face changed color. In less than half a second, he vanished from the room, and a chilling sound of rushing air echoed in midair. Camberto maintained his position while answering the call and coldly smiled, "Fang Lin Kong! You have guts. To challenge my True Flame Sect's headquarters and slap Darsin King's face like that... The value of those two useless fools is indeed not comparable to that of an Underworld Black Dragon or Golden Consort. However, the final winner of this conflict is still uncertain."
Chen Mingbin and Ma Jingjie found themselves in endless darkness, with streams of flames sweeping past them, scorching their skin painfully black. They did not know how long they had been howling in despair until they gradually began to sense a pattern and feel the airflow in the darkness to evade the rushing flames. Beneath their feet seemed not to be solid ground but rather some strange force supporting a flat surface. Just when they felt helpless, a burst of light erupted like a supernova, sweeping away all darkness and illuminating not far from them. Their eyes were so stimulated they could barely open them; after waiting for what felt like an eternity to adjust to the change in light, Ma Jingjie and Chen Mingbin finally saw a figure standing in infinite brightness amidst the void.
