--- Chapter 56 ---

Silver Moon Hotel.

Yu Long and Hong Guan sat on the balcony, staring at each other solemnly.

"Young Master... You actually laid such a trap for the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress and didn't tell me?" Hong Guan rubbed her fair forehead in disbelief.

Yu Long raised his hand in defeat and replied, "Yes. At the time, I didn't think we would make so much progress on profound patterns, aspects, etcetera."

"In just two years, we have overgrown the scarlet dragon."

"My bad, I completely forgot about this matter..." He sighed, giving off a weary look.

Yu Long hadn't achieved much two years ago, and even the Shadow Realm under him just started growing. After stealing the Evil God's fire seed from the scarlet dragon's lair, he placed a trap for the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.

It wouldn't destroy the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress two years ago, but now? The Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress was 'gradually' weakened by Hong Guan.

It's only a matter of time before the sect crumbles into ultimate misery.

Hong Guan sighed, "It's fine."

"I played with them long enough."

"It's just the right time to end this matter."

"You were doing this for my brother too, Young Master. Don't look so guilty." She reached and caressed Yu Long's face affectionately.

"Let's do this together now. At least, I want to watch those people suffer for the last time."

"Okay." Yu Long smiled at her.

Xia Qingyue frowned at the two on the balcony and felt slightly jealous because Hong Guan could get quality time with Yu Long.

Lily noticed Xia Qingyue's expression and commented, "Trust me, you don't want to disturb them right now."

"Why?" Xia Qingyue responded with a huff.

"Well, No harm in telling you about this stuff." After pondering for a bit, Lily decided to tell Xia Qingyue about the incident five years ago.

Xia Qingyue listened attentively, and her eyes widened in shock.

"Such a thing happened before?"

Lily nodded and added, "Yes. The bond between Young Master and Hong Guan forge deeper than you could imagine."

"Although their position is different, they still shared the same goal until now."

"And do not forget that Hong Guan and I have been on the Young Master's side the longest."

"Understood." Xia Qingyue glanced at Hong Guan and thought the red-haired lady was suffering more than her.

At the very least, Xia Qingyue only lost her mother and still has family members left.

Hong Guan doesn't. She lost her one and only family member.

Lily shook her head gently at the young girl's reaction. Like the young master, she acts more adult than kids her age.

"Qingyue, Lily. Hong Guan and I will be out for a while." Yu Long notified them while wearing a robe.

"Be safe outside!" Xia Qingyue waved her hand at him.

"We will wait," Lily added calmly.

"Hehe, we will be back in a few hours, if not the night." Yu Long smiled at them.

After that, Yu Long and Hong Guan disappeared in a flash. Lily couldn't sense their presence in a three-mile radius.

'Did they teleport? That's new.' Lily thought for a second.

Xia Qingyue stared into the distance and sighed, "Lily, let's go to the food court and grab an ice cream."

"Ice cream? Sure." Lily agreed immediately.

...

Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range.

However, how could that happen?

The gunpowders their sect used are 'specially' made. Only a handful of people could make them.

The only person with such authority gone out in the last two years is their treasury elder, Mu Lei.

"Shit." Mu Tianbei and others cursed between their breaths.

They have been tricked, backstabbed, and ultimately bamboozled!

The sect's condition isn't good at the moment.

Not only did they not recruit more disciples, but their resources have also gotten limited in the past two years.

"Return my treasure or DIE!" The scarlet dragon's mouth spewed a spark of scarlet flame.

The expression of the elders paled because they realized this spirit beast is probably Emperor Profound Beast!

Unless they used their 'strongest' hidden weapon, they probably couldn't defeat it.

Mu Tianbei glanced at his sworn brother Mu Konglei and communicated through sound transmission, 'You know what to do.'

'We will buy time.'

'Be safe!' Mu Konglei nodded and slowly retreated.

Mu Tianbei faked a cough, "Ehem, scarlet dragon."

"About your treasure, we only heard of it now..."

"BUT! We might know who stole it."

"Can you give us a few moments to catch the thief and hand it to you?"

The scarlet dragon snorted coldly and returned, "Hmph, make it quick."

Yu Long's golden eyes gleamed in wickedness at this scenario.

'Hehehe, dumb suicide bomber!' He laughed inside and prepared a containment array.

Hong Guan focused on Mu Konglei as she commented, "That man is the master of the man who killed my brother."

"Oh?" Yu Long chuckled. "It's good then. Do you want to see fireworks, Hong Guan?"

"Fireworks." Hong Guan watched Yu Long's eyes burn with brutality.

She grinned and replied, "Surprise me, Young Master."

Mu Konglei arrived after one hour and brought a black cage surrounded by black fabric. "Scarlet Dragon! I've brought the thief!"

"Why did you cover the cage?" The scarlet dragon suspiciously gazed at him.

Mu Konglei calmed himself and answered naturally, "It's because the thief was 'actually' beaten by me. I was venting my anger, so his appearance is not appealing."

"Bring him to me!" The scarlet dragon huffed.

Mu Konglei slowly floated to the scarlet dragon, pushing the black cage to the profound beast.

An invisible profound strength string was 'suddenly' pulled.

"HAHAHA, DIE! TAKE OUR GREATEST BLACK SUN!"

A gray-colored light escaped the black cage as the scarlet dragon's eyes widened in disbelief.

Yu Long snapped his finger, "Not so easy."

A barrier made of translucent filament appeared around the black cage and Mu Konglei, shocking everyone.

"NOOOO!" Everyone from the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress screamed at the top of their lungs.

Even if they want to prevent this. It was too late.

SWOOOOSH!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A bright white light escaped the small gaps in the barrier, and red mist spewed everywhere, painting the sky with a flurry of flower-shaped patterns. The gory sight makes everyone's stomach turn upside down.

Despair!

This one emotion struck the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.
