He now realized that he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Recalling how the Mad Lion Sect had been interfering with him lately, Zhuo Er simply chose to stay out of it and not get involved.

This scene was particularly bizarre, making the three heavily injured elders of the Mad Lion Sect feel like vomiting blood.

However, they were completely powerless against Zhuo Er, since the two sides only had a cooperative relationship, although on the surface they had joined the Mad Lion Sect.

But both Zhuo Er himself and the Mad Lion Clan knew perfectly well that this guy was not truly submitting.

Everyone is simply taking what they need and using each other.

So, Zhuo Er spread his hands, forced a smile, and looked at Tang Lan, saying, "Senior! Some things may not be as you imagine."

"It was the Mad Lion Sect who hijacked the Tang Clan's carriage convoy, and they're the ones who brought the stuff to our mountain."

"We had no choice but to agree under pressure from the Mad Lion Sect. How could a small mountain stronghold like mine possibly stand against the Mad Lion Sect?"

Zhuo Er gave a wry smile and answered half-jokingly.

The first half of the statement is certainly true, but whether it was forced upon them is unknown.

However, Tang Lan ignored him and turned to look at the three people behind her, saying coldly, "I will only give you three breaths to consider. Those who surrender will not be killed."

Just one sentence was enough to instantly lower the temperature of the atmosphere in the room to freezing point.

"one."

Without much hesitation, Tang Lan spoke directly.

"two."

"I am willing to submit to the Tang Clan and pledge my loyalty to you from now on!"

Fire Butterfly Soul Douluo was the first to kneel on the ground, speaking in a respectful voice. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 960: Big Stick and Sweet Dates

This woman is not a kind person, but she is the most pragmatic. If things are impossible, she will gladly accept and submit.

"three!"

"We are willing to surrender!"

Faced with immense pressure to die, both the elderly man and the middle-aged man chose to succumb in their final moments.

No one wants to die; if there is the choice to live, no one will choose to die.

It is clear that these people are not wholeheartedly following the Mad Lion Sect.

But having already made the first concession, Tang Lan wouldn't be too moderate about these people.

At most, they'll just stay in the outer gate as stewards.

Soon, a cacophony of footsteps could be heard outside.

Hundreds of people rushed towards this place from the mountain stronghold, including several Soul Douluos and dozens of Soul Saints.

"Brother, what's going on? Who are these people?"

The leader of the Soul Douluo, Yan Liu, who was also one of the leaders of the bandit group, asked the question.

Looking at the ruins before him, he subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.

"It's nothing, tell the handwritten guys to go home!"

"By the way, there's no need for a curfew tonight. Let all the brothers come back. I have something important to announce first thing tomorrow morning."

Zhuo Er's expression was somewhat complicated, but at this moment he also knew how to assess the situation and immediately began to issue orders.

After the bandits left, only two Soul Douluos remained.

The other person was in charge of all external affairs of the stronghold, which is the fourth brother that Zhuo Er and others mentioned, who was not on the mountain.

After Iwagyu took a clear look at the situation on the field, he couldn't help but gasp.

Two of the three Soul Douluos were severely injured, and the third was also pale-faced and dared not utter a word.

In just a moment, he had already guessed the general idea.

Zhuo Er forced a smile and said, "Senior, what do you think we should do next?"

Although he was the leader of the bandit group, he was now living under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow his head.

Tang Lan glanced at the group of people, then walked towards the old man first, and a golden mark suddenly appeared in her palm.

Then, he touched the old man's brow, and a golden mark disappeared into the man's brow.

Tang Lan then said, "This mark is called the Dragon Soul Mark. It was formed by my martial soul talent. Do not try to resist its fusion."

"The Dragon Soul Seal will gradually merge with your souls. After that, as long as you do not do anything to threaten my Tang Sect, the Dragon Soul Seal will not appear."

"If you harbor thoughts of betrayal, the Dragon Soul Seal will instantly shatter your souls, until you die and your soul vanishes."

Tang Lan's voice was like a final ultimatum from the Grim Reaper, sending chills down everyone's spines.

This was the first time they had ever heard of a martial soul possessing such terrifying abilities.

This time, both Fire Butterfly Soul Douluo and Zhuo Er's expressions changed drastically.

People like them dislike being controlled. Even if they join the Empty Disappearances, they can leave at any time if they want.

But now, suddenly you hear that you must submit to the Tang Sect, or the new village will be attacked and even have its soul destroyed if it betrays them.

Which of these self-proclaimed genius soul masters would be willing to accept this?

But Tang Lan didn't care at all, because they had no other choice.

The struggle between sects is brutal. Since the other side has already made their move, Tang Lan naturally has no need to hold back.

The old man's body trembled violently, but he dared not resist in any way, because he knew that Tang Lan could kill him as easily as crushing an ant.

In the end, he could only let the so-called Dragon Soul Seal disappear into his own Dragon Soul.

But almost the next second, the old man's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

At this moment, his soul power and aura were visibly increasing.

Level 85, Level 86, Level 87!

In just a few breaths, his cultivation level broke through three levels in succession, and he was just around the corner to reach level eighty-nine.

Moreover, this kind of improvement has no side effects; it truly enhances one's cultivation without affecting one's foundation.

"How is this possible? I... I actually broke through! And I advanced three levels at once!"

The old man's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.

In his eyes, everything before him seemed like a dream, so unreal.

The others around them were also shocked, as if they had witnessed the most impossible thing in the world.

If this is a dream, then everyone in the world must be dreaming; such a speed of cultivation advancement is simply unheard of and unseen.

Tang Lan spoke up at the opportune moment: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my Dragon Soul Seal not only has the effect of a contract, but also the ability to increase a Soul Master's cultivation level."

"As you have seen, there are absolutely no side effects."

"As for how much benefit you can gain, it varies from person to person; it all depends on yourselves."

Tang Lan explained with a smile on her lips.

At this moment, the whole place was silent.

Even the people from Shrek Academy were speechless.

Because it was the first time they had ever seen Tang Lan use this ability.

"Gudong!"

"Um, could I also sign a Soul Imprint Contract? After all, I'm a member of the Tang Sect."

He Caitou swallowed hard and said with some envy.

In his view, if a Soul Douluo can advance three levels in a row, then wouldn't he, a mere Soul King, be able to take off directly?

These words seemed to open a brand new door for everyone at Shrek Academy, and everyone was slightly moved.

However, Tang Lan didn't care. Instead, she looked at the middle-aged man and the Fire Butterfly woman not far away.

"I am willing to accept the Soul Imprint Contract!"

The middle-aged man walked up to Tang Lan first, and under the combined stimulation of Tang Lan's big stick and red dates, he finally succumbed.

The Fire Butterfly Woman stood beside him, her face beaming with ecstasy, also awaiting Tang Lan's gift.

Tang Lan, who was originally like the Grim Reaper, was now seen as a god descended from the heavens in their eyes.

Its status is definitely no lower than that of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the eyes of the Soul Beast Forest.

As two golden beams of light entered the foreheads of the two individuals, the fluctuations of their soul power also began to increase.

Without exception, both of them had suddenly increased their level by three, and their faces were full of joy.

Then Tang Lan dropped another bombshell.

Then he said, "As long as a Soul Master who has been granted a seal is within ten miles of my Ancient Dragon Martial Soul, their cultivation speed will be more than three times faster than usual."

These words immediately left everyone stunned in place once again.

The Fire Butterfly Woman seemed somewhat skeptical, and then immediately began to cultivate.

When she felt the surrounding spiritual energy, like a great river, converging upon her, she trembled with excitement. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 961 Breakthrough, Title Tribulation

Then, he knelt down on both knees and swore to Tang Lan, "Liangdie, I swear to protect the Tang Clan to the death, and to be loyal to the Tang Clan and to my seniors!"

Almost the instant those words were spoken, the old man and the middle-aged man also knelt on the ground.

They shouted in unison, "We swear to defend the Tang Clan to the death, for the Tang Clan, for our predecessors!"

This time, they were completely convinced, and truly convinced.

Regardless of the reason, they could not refuse to join the Tang Clan; on the contrary, they were very glad that they had made such a correct choice.
