--- Chapter 75 ---

Rebellion.

Yu Long expected this to happen sooner or later.

And he was gone for three years, so the Shadow Realm's growth was out of his eyes. Besides the founder and core members, Yu Long knows the future members of Shadow Realm will have an idea or two to become independent.

Well, this is the problem of all successful organizations.

It become too big!

"And it's the eleventh base of all bases, as expected." Yu Long commented in annoyance.

The eleventh base is odd. Located on the corner of Divine Phoenix Empire, this Shadow Realm's branch doesn't recruit Shadow Agents like any other branch.

They used a 'fake' sect and recruited everyone in the area.

The problem is that the Divine Phoenix Empire's people are known for their arrogance. After all, the empire is 'widely' acknowledged as the best out of the seven nations.

Like a bloated balloon, this eleventh base finally felt overconfident with its ability and even attacked other branches.

Yu Long should know better, but there were no other choices in the past because the Divine Phoenix Empire is the nation with the tightest security system.

Right now, he wouldn't get so fuzzed with this matter.

He has the Lost Heaven Sect and deeper foundations now.

"Technically speaking, I've planned and founded the Shadow Realm for roughly ten years... It's bound to have a problem." He laughed at himself.

Chu Yueli walked to his side and said, "This isn't your fault, Young Master."

"Those ungrateful bastards should die..."

"Hong Guan and Lily should know this, probably giving them what they deserved."

"Are you perhaps consoling me?" Yu Long smiled a little.

"I'm not so fragile that a half-assed rebellion would crack me."

"However... Thanks, I appreciate it."

He turned around and walked away with sleeping Yu Mei in his arms.

Chu Yueli watched Yu Long's broad and muscular back, smiling from ear to ear. Not many people know, but Yu Long carried perhaps the heaviest burden in this universe.

Since Yu Long revealed his power that day, Chu Yueli knows her young master needs emotional support.

They know Yu Long would like it, even if it was just encouragement and small talk.

In the lonely path that Kaiju Maker took, he was still a human at heart.

Following Yu Long's step, Chu Yueli walked up from the underground facility and was 'immediately' greeted by a bright light.

...

After sending Yu Mei to her cradle, Yu Long and Chu Yueli immediately went to the Divine Phoenix Empire.

On the border of the Divine Phoenix Empire, an explosion occurred as several dark-clothed figures surrounded Hong Guan and Lily. The ladies have a gloomy and cold look on their faces.

Hong Guan, in particular, looks like she wanted to decimate everyone into ashes.

"Shadow Brides, you have no authority to order us around." One dark-clothed figure stepped out. "Our Dark Moon Sect would come out and announce to the world that we are strong!"

"Dumbass." Lily straight-up commented.

"How strong? You guys are merely a group of Earth Profound Realms, and even the strongest person in your group is only at peak Sky Profound Realm."

Lily indifferently laughed, "With such a low strength, you're sure having a boundless dream, hehe. Ants who know nothing about reality."

Their profound veins got destroyed due to their energy slowly drying out.

Their vitality left, causing their skin to wither.

"ARGH!"

"NO, NO!"

"My cultivation, my body, everything!"

Regretful shouts come from their mouths.

Men become hungry ghosts.

And women become banshee.

They wailed because of the Ghost Emperor's Punishment.

The Grim Reaper God.

Yu Long watched these people turn into husks and crumble into ashes due to the withering force. The man in his arm paled, looking at his comrades as they became handfuls of soil.

"Hey, look at this." Yu Long stretched his hand and opened it.

"This is the accumulation of dead souls..."

A ball of ghostly flame appeared, burning coldly.

"Why do you think I named the cultivation technique of Shadow Realm, the [Art of Lesser Ghost] and [Art of Reaper]?"

"It's a sign that 'Shadows' aren't human anymore..."

"You walked in the darkness that I paved with my light." Yu Long said nonchalantly. "Unfortunately, you didn't understand the darkness enough and wanted to walk in the world of living again."

"What are you without Shadow Realm?"

"Trash."

"The weak of the weakest."

"Bottom feeder."

"Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you?"

"I-I-I have a family... They are innocent." The rebel responded ghastly.

Yu Long smiled, "But you attacked other bases, and those people are innocent."

"They are innocent, but you're not!"

"No, No, No! Don't kill me, Lord Shadow!" The rebel panicked.

"I will do anything. Please give me one more chance."

"It's my fault... It's my fault for not following your order."

"Well... Just die." Yu Long responded dully. No matter how much this guy pleads, Yu Long never takes his words seriously.

One more chance?

No, I gave you guys that one chance long ago.

And now you threw it away.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

The rebel screamed at the top of his lungs, but he slowly turned into a mummy and ashes. Yu Long emotionlessly watched the man crumble into nothingness.

"Hah, I need to appoint another guy as the eleventh base's leader." Yu Long sighed helplessly. He tilted his head and recalled a thief from the Divine Phoenix City.

If he wasn't wrong, that guy also hates one of the Four Great Sacred Grounds.

"Hehe, I'd get my hands on a better subordinate."
