Chapter 678: Enraged House

The moment that Zhong Donghai returned, he immediately went to slap the face of the Charm Master under him. He wanted to also slap his sister's face, but he did not do so given the fact that she is already bruised.

Zhong Donghai managed to ask the help of two other Charm Masters, but he did not tell the whole truth to his uncle. All he said is that there is something peculiar in Mt. Thunder that he needs investigating. He was about to tell the truth when he saw that the Qilin is no longer there and in its place is a floating back stone.

"Explain." Zhong Donghai stated.

"I will tell you what we experienced, dear brother." Lan stated as she recounted the events to Zhong Donghai.

The moment that Zhong Donghai said that they got transported back to the foot of the mountain is very troublesome. The demon probably did that while he was planning his approach and waited for him to exit the area of Mt. Thunder.

"When we came to the top, the Qilin is gone and in its place is this stone that holds enormous amounts of the energy of Mt. Thunder. We thought the demon sealed the Qilin inside of the black stone, but we cannot investigate as lightning bolts will rain down on anyone that steps foot in a ten feet radius of that floating black stone." Lan stated as the damage she received is the result of trying to investigate the floating black stone.

Zhong Donghai could not blame that he was not prepared fully but even he thinks that he will be transported back to the foot of the mountain. Charm Masters cannot lock space because they have few influence on the world itself unlike Array Masters. They need a lot of time to prepare if they wanted to seal someone in a location.

"Brother! We should charge towards the House of Creation and demand that they hand the Qilin back to us." Lan stated as she had a hunch that the Qilin is not trapped in the black stone.

"Are you even sure that the Mistress of the House of Creation did such a thing? We cannot just accuse of them of being unjust without evidence or else they might strike at our house." Zhong Donghai stated as he knows just how powerful the House of Creation is.

Even their current head of the house explicitly told them to never mess with the House of Creation. They might have heard reports that the current Mistress of the House of Creation is a bit wild and dubbed as the 'walking disaster' but she does not mess with the activities of the other houses.

She might be called an oddity, but she knows her limits. The head of the even wanted to form a connection with the young mistress of the House of Creation using his daughters but they failed to even get her notice. She was interested in things that a normal Ryujin would not be interested in.

"We should report this to the Head of the House, nonetheless. The young mistress of the House of Creation colluded with a demon in order to steal the treasure that we have been pursuing in Mt. Thunder despite our plead that she do not take it." Zhong Donghai stated as he needed to put the attention of the head of the house elsewhere while he returned the treasures that he 'borrowed'.

"Are you speaking the truth to me right now?" The Head of the House of the Azure Dragon asked.

"Yes, House Head. The young mistress of the House of Creation dared to bully us with her influence in order to get the treasure that we looked so hard to obtain in Mt. Thunder." Zhong Donghai stated as he is in a kneeling position.

"If that is the case then you are trash to even lose to a greenhorn. Tell me something that will make sure that you keep your head after this meeting?" The Head of the House of the Azure Dragon asked with a serious voice that reverberated throughout the main hall of their house.

Even the other elders got goosebumps when they felt the aura of their house head. He is definitely one of the most powerful house head to ever live. He is the most compatible with the blessings of the Azure Dragon.

"The young mistress is sworn friends with the demon that is said to be the special friend of the Vermillion Bird. It is not that we lost in battle, but the demon used its powers to send us back to the foot of the mountain. Even my Charm Master could not stop the spells that he unleased as she was not used to countering what the people of the center call Arcane Magic." Zhong Donghai stated as he now shifted the blame to his Charm Master.

"This is good then. A lot of you have witnessed the cunningness of that demon. With that demon being a guest of the House of Creation, we can pressure them into a negotiation. They promised to not interfere with businesses of the houses.

We can obtain something from your failure, Donghai. Be proud as you will still keep your head. I might even reward you if the compensation that they will send us will be grand. The House of Creation does not skimp in their apology after all." The Head of the House of the Azure Dragon stated as he knew the treasures that the House of Creation sends those that their young mistress bothers.

"Thank you for your benevolence, House Head." Zhong Donghai stated as he rose from his position.

"Just you wait. I will have my revenge." Zhong Donghai stated as he knew that he could just steal the companionship stone where the Qilin is sealed from Peridot as long as he gets the opportunity. He promised that he will do his best in making it difficult for Peridot.

He also put out an order to all the guards of the House of the Azure Dragon to kill the demon on sight. He promised a reward for the one who kills the demon.
