Chapter 532: Saving Mu Hanyan
"How was it? Is my mother fine?" Seeing Long Yi, Yu Feng hastily asked.
"With me making a move in person, how can there be any problem?" Long Yi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Long Yi, I will go and take a look at my mother." Yu Feng warmly looked at Long Yi, then wanted to go to the bedroom, but Long Yi stopped her.
"Wait a minute, I have something to say now." Long Yi said.
Having heard what was said, everyone looked at Long Yi, and seeing his serious expression, they understood that this was s serious matter.
Long Yi sat on the soft sofa, then opened his mouth: "I have something to tell, after that, I will immediately return to Soaring Dragon City."
"You want to return, but you still want to say something, in any case, if you return then we will also return with you." Feng Ling said and everyone nodded their head in succession.
"No, you all must stay in Light City. And Li Qing, you will disguise as me and stroll around the city every day. In any case, I want the people to think that I am still in Light City. Long Zhan has numerous informers, so in order to attract their attention, you all must stay here." Long Yi seriously said.
"What exactly happened?" Yu Feng asked.
"It cannot be explained in a short time, just do what I said. The current situation is very volatile, we must not make any errors." Long Yi said.
Seeing the expression of Long Yi, everyone knew that he had already made the decision, so all of them nodded their head in succession.
......….
Soaring Dragon City, imperial palace.
That Military Advisor was trembling above one of the imperial concubines of Long Zhan in satisfaction. He was feeling comfortable and refreshed. The feeling of being an emperor was different. Every day, he could enjoy different bewitchingly charming women and no one dared to defy whatever he said.
"Your Majesty, you are so full of valor and vigor, you nearly ** me to death." That coquettish imperial concubine caressed the sturdy chest of Military Advisor and said emitting a fragrance.
"Little b*tch, do you still want me to ** you?" Military Advisor fondled the plump ** of this imperial concubine. And all of a sudden, he put forth his strength in his grip and laughed.
This imperial concubine hissed in pain and tears gushed out from her eyes.
"Say, b*tch, do you still want me to ** you?" Military Advisor tyrannically grabbed the neck of this imperial concubine with red eyes.
"Yes... yes, please ** me, Your Majesty." This imperial concubine was so frightened that she stuttered.
"Really is a b*tch." Military Advisor stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, then with a strange smile, he slowly tightened his hand like an iron hoop.
That imperial concubine suddenly found it difficult to breath and desperately struggled to free herself, but how could have the strength to resist this Military Advisor? Not long after, her complexion became paler and paler, and her legs began to lose strength. Eventually, her entire body softened and no longer moved. Only her eyes that were opened wide voicelessly accused the atrocity of Military Advisor.
The insane expression of Military Advisor simmered down and he used the quilt to wipe his hand. Then, putting on his clothing, he walked out as if nothing had happened.
"Your Majesty, the situation is bad, we just received the report that Ice Wind City is captured. The allied force of two empires will return within the next few days." In the imperial study, the trusted subordinate of Military Advisor hurriedly ran in and reported.
The eyes of Military Advisor flashed. It seemed that it was time for him to make a move against Ximen Clan. As long as Ximen Clan was eradicated, this entire Blue waves Continent will be at his fingertips. He will be the supreme monarch of Blue Waves Continent. All the people will have to crawl under his feet and look up to him, what a wonderful feeling that would be!
Military Advisor knew that the power of Ximen Clan was very powerful, but that's all right, he had the expertise to deal with them. These few years, he had been secretly refining tens of thousands of dark warriors, and only Mu Hanyan knew the technique to deal with those dark warriors. But, now, Mu Hanyan might have already become a pile of bones. It was truly pitiful, he always had presumptuous thoughts to have this coquettish woman.
"Guard, call crown prince over." Military Advisor suddenly recalled something and ordered the imperial bodyguard outside.
Not long after, crown prince Long Ying entered the imperial study and bowed: "This son greets emperor father, I wonder why emperor father is looking for this son."
Military Advisor stood up and sighed softly: "Ice Wind City is already captured, and the army will return within the next few days."
"Ah, then what should we do? Now the allied force is under the command of Beitang Yu. Once they return, Ximen Clan will attack us." Long Yi said with alarm.
"You are right, what do you think we should do, Ying'er?" Military Advisor faintly asked.
"We must attack first, he who strikes first gains the advantage, we have hundred thousand imperial soldiers, dark warriors, and 50,000 soldiers of Divine Eagle Legion and Fierce Tiger Legion stationed outside the city. What's more, Ximen Yu and Ximen Tian are already under our Curse Puppet Magic. If they died, then even if that old man Ximen Nu didn't die out of shock, we will have dealt a big blow to Ximen Clan." Long Ying said confidentially.
"Ying'er said it well, we will start tomorrow evening, now, you go and prepare well, we absolutely cannot make any mistake." Military Advisor nodded his head and said.
"This son obey your command." Long Ying bowed and retreated. He never noticed that the good 'emperor father' behind him was looking at his back view with a sinister smile.

And at this moment, in Ximen Residence, Ximen Nu was walking back and forth in the study room. He had also gotten the news of the capture of Ice Wind City, thus, he guessed that Long Zhan will certainly make a move against Ximen Clan soon.
Knock, knock, knock, a strange rhythm knocking sounds came from the door of the study.
"Come in." Ximen Nu calmly sat behind the desk and shouted.
"Number 18 pays respect to Patriarch." A person whose entire body was covered with a black robe walked in and greeted respectfully. His voice was very erratic and was somewhat creepy to hear.
"Is that matter settled?" Ximen Nu asked seriously.
"Reporting to Patriarch, that matter is already settled, hundred thousand hidden soldiers are awaiting orders at the mountain located at the outskirts of the city." This black robed person replied.
"Good, very good, then, are the people on the namelist already dealt with?" Ximen Nu asked.
"They are already dealt with according to the instruction of Patriarch. Eldest young master and eldest lady are already bound and placed in the iron prison." This black robed person replied.
"That's good, you can leave and make preparations, at that time, act according to the plan." Ximen Nu said.
After black robed person retreated, the excitement he had been suppressing for a long time surfaced on his face. Ximen Nu had been waiting for this day for a long time. Now, Ximen Clan held the advantage, win or lose, it all ends here. The aspiration of Ximen Clan for more than 500 years might be realized in his hands.
Ximen Nu left the study and entered the next door room. Then, sitting on the edge of the bed, he watched his father who was still lying like a corpse and muttered: "Father, do you know? The aspiration of our Ximen Clan is about to be realized. When you wake up, you will definitely be very happy."
"You have always been a great hero in my heart. I admire you and think that you are omnipotent. I desperately obtained achievements because I wanted to prove myself to you, but you always look down upon me. I have never obtained even a half sentence of praise from you. In your heart, you only had dead big brother. You consider him better than me in all aspects, because big brother was elegant and unrestrained just like you. He was lenient everywhere and was a heavenly genius who learned everything faster than me. If it was not for the case that he died, it would not be my turn to sit on the position of Patriarch."
"But, Ximen Clan will reach the peak of power in my hands. You will definitely be greatly surprised when you wake up because your that inferior second son has obtained this kind of achievement. Not only that, I furthermore have a genius son. He is even more elegant, unrestraint and romantic than you. Moreover, his ability is also bigger than you. The second son you were never proud of is the one that gave birth to such a son. If you wake up, you will absolutely love him like you loved big brother."
Ximen Nu muttered to his father lying on the bed with glistening tears in his eyes. Who would have thought that this majestic Patriarch of Ximen Clan had this kind of side? Currently, he resembled a child who was flaunting in front of his father.
After staying in the room for a long time, Ximen Nu calmed down his state of mind and reverted back to his usual dignified appearance and went out. But he didn't notice the slight movement of his father's eyes under his eyelid which disappeared in an instant.
..........
In the secret room below Heaven Forbidden Prison, that forbidden magic array was still operating continuously, and in the midst of purple radiance, some mysterious runes were glimmering.
Mu Hanyan was lying listlessly on the ground. Now, her face was pale like a paper, if it was not for those slightly quivering eyelashes, anyone who saw her would think that she had already died.
It had already been a week and she had almost exhausted her spirit power. Now, just relying on that strange black mist, she was hanging onto her life, otherwise, with her spirit power already exhausted, her entire body would have quickly eroded, leaving behind only dead bones.
In a trance, Mu Hanyan was having one dream after another. In the dream, she returned to her childhood. Ever since she was sensible, she faced tedious meditation and various kinds of training, so much so that even her dream was imposed by other people. Because of that, she basically had no chance to have her own dream.
"My dream is very simple, I just want to live a quiet life and travel around every corner of this world with my wives." In the dream, a man said looking at her with a faint smile.
"If possible, I want your dream to be mine as well." The woman in the dream replied with a trace of sadness and some hope. Because she had no dream, the dream of her beloved was her dream.
The beautiful face of the woman in the dream gradually became clear, and Mu Hanyan suddenly discovered that this woman had exactly the same appearance as herself.
No, not, at that time, I didn't reply like that. Mu Hanyan thought, but she seemed to have thought like that.
"Mu Hanyan, you cannot fall in love with him, don't forget your identity." A voice suddenly appeared in her dream, then that beautiful scene instantly vanished into thin air. The misty rain and hazy scene became pitch-black, leaving behind only that ear-piercing voice reverberating throughout the sky.
"No, no, I love him." The woman in the dream covered her ears in panic and shouted.
"You don't love him, he is just a tool in your hand, you are just using him?" That ear-piercing voice coldly said.
"No, no..." She cried weakly.
"You are just using him, after you have finished using him, you will kill him." That ear-piercing voice appeared bewitching.
"No... no..."
Mu Hanyan who was in a coma in the midst of forbidden magic array suddenly trembled in pain. Her beautiful face was twisted and tears of blood flowed out from the corner of her eyes. In addition, blood flowed out from her dried lips.
At this time, outside Heaven Forbidden Prison, three shadows quickly avoided the patrolling guards and quickly activating the mechanism, they entered Forbidden Heaven Prison. Among them, one was Long Yi and other two were Sharman and Crystal of Demonic Dragon Clan.
Originally, Long Yi didn't want to bring them along with him, but Crystal insisted on coming with him, saying Light City was not bustling enough and she wanted to see Soaring Dragon City. As for Sharman, she was not at ease to send Crystal alone, so she also followed.
When they just arrived in that special prison cell, Murong Shuyu came out from inside. Long Yi was not surprised, but Sharman, Crystal and Murong Shuyu were so surprised that they jumped, nearly attacking each other.
"Ximen Yu, when did you come back? Who are they?" Murong Shuyu was happy to see Long Yi, but immediately afterward, she turned fierce and asked.
"We are his good friend, who are you?" Crystal held the arm of Long Yi and said, desiring to see the world plunged into chaos.
"He is my husband, now you say, who am I?" Murong Shuyu was unwilling to be outdone.
"Don't make trouble, I am in a hurry." Long Yi pushed Crystal away and pinched the cheeks of Murong Shuyu, then rushed out of the prison cell.
The three women quickly followed after him, but they discovered that Long Yi had already disappeared without a trace.
"Eh, where is he?" Crystal exclaimed in surprise. Sharman also questioningly looked at Murong Shuyu.
"He went down." Murong Shuyu calmly pointed at that head-sized hole on the ground.
"You mean to say he went down from this hole." Crystal asked in surprise. Even a child couldn't pass through this hole.
"Correct, if you have the ability, then you can go in." Murong Shuyu said with a smile.
Sharman and Crystal looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. This human being truly gave them many surprises. Could it be that he could change his physical form at will? This was something even people who were far stronger than them couldn't do.
Long Yi however didn't care about what they were thinking. He could sense that Bai Yu was already on the point of death, this means, Mu Hanyan was on the verge of death. He used his spirit power to sense the secret room, and even in the periphery of this forbidden magic array, his spirit power had an intense response.
In the midst of this forbidden magic array, Long Yi vaguely saw the figure of Mu Hanyan. She was completely motionless, lying on the ground. She was already on the verge of death. This scene made Long Yi feel pain from the bottom of his heart.
Long Yi suppressed the impatience in his heart and carefully looked at the periphery, then used his finger covered with internal force to press on the ground and from a groove at the edge of this array, a yellow colored crystal that supplied energy to this formation jumped out and the entire forbidden magic array immediately shook slightly.
It was naturally not enough to just take off one energy crystal, one needed to use large numbers of energy crystals. This was one of the small-scale forbidden magic arrays, but it required a thousand magic cores. If one wished to thoroughly destroy it, then one needed to take out dozens of magic crystal from several important places, and then erase a number of magic lines drawn on the ground. This took a lot of effort and time.
Long Yi carefully used internal force to take out one magic crystal after another. Although it appeared simple, it was absolutely not an easy matter to inject his internal force into this forbidden magic array. He had to use a large amount of internal force to take out one magic crystal. Even if he had a large reserve of internal force, he was unable to bear such consumption. So, while talking out magic crystals form this forbidden magic array, his face was streaming with sweat and he became paler.
At this moment, the radiance of this forbidden magic array had become much dimmer. Now, Long Yi could clearly see the appearance of Mu Hanyan. Seeing blood was flowing out of her eyes and mouth, he felt as if a knife was stabbed through his heart. Although they two fought and schemed against each other, he couldn't deceive his heart. She had a very important position in his heart.
"Hanyan, you lascivious hussy, you must hold on, you cannot die without my permission." Long Yi muttered, then taking a deep breath, he concentrated to use his spirit power to erase some magic lines.
In this world, perhaps, only Long Yi could undo this forbidden magic array. One needed to inject powerful internal force to take out magic crystals and erasing the magic lines of this forbidden magic array needed a large amount of spirit power. This was also the reason why Military Advisor didn't send anyone to guard this forbidden magic array. He was confident that no one in this world could crack this forbidden magic array. But, because of this arrogance, he would pay a heavy price in near future. If someone was guarding, then how could Long Yi have enough time to go and crack this forbidden magic array. Perhaps, Mu Hanyan would have already died before he had time to crack this forbidden magic array.
Finally, after an hour, the purple light and magic runes of this forbidden magic array fluctuated violently and instantly disappeared.
"Hanyan, wake up." Long Yi injected true qi to protect the heart meridian of Mu Hanyan and called out anxiously.
Mu Hanyan slowly opened her eyes and seeing Long Yi, her eyes shone, then used her inaudible voice to say: "It is truly nice to see you in the dream." She thought that she was seeing a dream again. And just after speaking, she again fell unconsciousness with a smile.
Noticing the pulse of Mu Hanyan was getting slower, the heart of Long Yi tightened. The injuries of Mu Hanyan was very serious, and her spirit power was practically exhausted, in addition, her soul essence was damaged greatly. This made her circumstance very bad.
Since Mu Hanyan couldn't use bone shrinking technique, they would be unable to return from that hole of Heaven Forbidden Prison. They had to go out using the path of the imperial palace. But at this moment, both internal force and spirit power of Long Yi was exhausted, in addition, Mu Hanyan was seriously injured, it was unsafe to take that route. It seemed he had to stay here and help her heal for the time being, moreover, take this opportunity to restore his energy.
Chapter 533: The decision of Dark Pope
Snowflakes were fluttering in profusion, covering the heaven. Other than the weak radiance of bonfires glimmering in this cold campsite, the entire world was pitch-black. It was cold and bone-chilling.
In the big tent of this camp, Beitang Yu was watching this pitch-black night sky in a daze via the window. She who usually displayed cold and harsh outline looked a lot gentler at this moment. Her black hair was hanging down loosely to her waist, and there was a hint of gentleness and longing in her eyes that was contrary to her mighty name of Hell Angel. Only a few people knew that whenever she missed Long Yi, that ice-cold murderous spirit around her would change into a special feminine aura.
Ice Wind City was finally captured. From now on, Proud Moon Empire was removed from the face of Blue Waves Continent. All imperial kinsmen of Proud Moon Empire were killed without exception. And she also finally completed her mission to lay down a big foundation for Long Yi.
"Yu..., Yu'er didn't let you down..." Beitang Yu muttered, seemingly recalling the scene of their first meeting and everything they experienced together.
Someone had once asked her if she regretted choosing this path. At that time, she had indifferently replied that after seeing Long Yi, the word 'regret' no longer existed in her world.
As a woman, she had made a made a name for herself. With her bloody and unfeeling means, she became world-famous and her title of Hell Angel was known to everybody. When other women were thinking of marriage, cosmetics and their appearance, her world however had only one kind of color, that was, the color of blood. When other women were harmoniously and happily assisting their husband and educating their children, she was facing incomplete corpses and field littered with corpses. People of her own side revered her greatly and the enemies feared her, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to fight and achieve victory for her sweetheart. Even if she and more people died, she had to do it.
The sounds of footsteps came from outside this tent. This startled awake Beitang Yu from her thoughts.
"I am troubling you to report to General Beitang, we want to meet her." A clear and melodious voice resounded.
"Wuhen, come in." Beitang Yu said before that guard had any time to report.
Ximen Wuhen, Long Ling'er and Linna opened the thick curtain and entered the tent. Ximen Wuhen was wearing snow-white priest robe, in addition, with a warm aura all around her, she appeared all the more holy and pure. As for Long Ling'er, compared to two years ago, now, she was a lot more mature and her fiery red magic robe made her shine all around, still, her facial features were exquisite as before. Merely, she was suppressing the negative emotion in her heart for a long time. As for Linna, there was no change. She still abhorred evil as her deadly foes and maintained her fiery temperament. They watched Beitang Yu with her hair hanging down loosely in fox-fur robe and were dumbfounded. They had stayed in the military camp for so long but they had never seen Beitang Yu looking so gentle and lovely like this moment.
"Let's sit down and talk, do you have any matter to look for me so late at night?" Beitang Yu faced these three ladies and asked.
"Big sister Yu, now that the warfare has ended, we want to return to Soaring Dragon City early, so we decided to separate ourselves from the army and leave in advance." Ximen Wuhen gently said.
Beitang Yu nodded and revealed a rare smile. If she was not the commanding general of this army, then she might also have become eager to return home like these three girls.
"How about this, tomorrow, I will summon the elite squad of Unparalleled Battalion lead by Nangong Nu to quickly return together with you all?" Beitang Yu said.
"Thank you, big sister Yu." A hint of excitement flashed through the eyes of Ximen Wuhen. She was so eager to return home because she wanted to see her second brother even a second faster. As for the rest of the family members, she basically didn't care much.
However, at this moment, Long Ling'er seemed to be struggling. Although she had been evading this matter for a long time, and she didn't want to hear the news of her father emperor and Ximen Clan struggling against each other, she still heard some news. She knew that the current situation of Soaring Dragon City was just like a brewing big volcano, and very soon, it would reach the point of big eruption. But, now, she basically had no way to evade, and after talking with Ximen Wuhen and Linna for a long time, she decided to go back to face everything. No matter what kind of pain she had to suffer, she would not retreat. The things that should come would come, everything was destined.
Early on the next morning, an elite squad of Unparalleled Battalion left the military camp and quickly disappeared in the midst of the snowstorm.
..........
In the headquarter of Dark Church in Proud Moon Empire, Dark Pope sat on his armchair craved out of dark jade. In his lower right hand side, his several trusted subordinates sat. Among them, there was Hell Priest Lafaer.

"Now that Proud Moon Empire is destroyed and a mysterious organization has suddenly appeared, the influence of our Dark Church in this Blue Waves Continent is eroding rapidly, does anyone have a good way to deal with this?" Dark Pope said with a cloudy face. He looked somewhat exhausted too. With the destruction of Proud Moon Empire, all the future plans of Dark Church dispersed and disappeared like a pipe dream. And the sudden appearance of a mysterious organization exhausted him mentally and physically.
No one spoke, the days of Dark Church were getting worse and worse. In addition, after Blue Waves Continent was unified, if the unified nation suppressed the Dark Church, then Dark Church might be destroyed completely.
"Your Majesty Pope, since our Dark Church is in imminent danger, it would be better to support Long Zhan with all our strength. As long as Ximen Clan is defeated in this struggle, the entire continent will not be unified, and our Dark Church can still look for an opportunity to rise." Hell Priest Lafaer stood up and said.
Dark Pope pondered for a long time and said: "Although there is a glimmer of hope in what Lafaer said, currently, Ximen Clan holds the superior position, in addition, that mysterious Mist Fairy seemed to stand on the side of Ximen Clan. The slightest bit of careless can make our Dark Church reach the point beyond redemption."
"Your Majesty Pope, this subordinate think that it is better to express goodwill towards Ximen Clan. According to the rumor, Saintess has already succeeded in escaping the pursuit, so there is still a chance to mitigate our relation with Ximen Clan. Moreover, the heir of Ximen Clan, Ximen Yu similarly have dark magic, if we ask Saintess to put in some good words, then perhaps..." Another black robed old man stood up and said.
Dark Pope made a bitter smile. If they had originally adopted this means, then perhaps, Dark Church wouldn't have reached this state. Feng Ling and Leng Youyou, both of them were Long Yi's women, so Ximen Yu wouldn't have made things difficult for Dark Church. Unfortunately, he however had made a wrong decision at that time by listening to his wife's suggestion. Not only did they chased to kill Leng Youyou, he even thought to use his own daughter to lure Ximen Yu to swallow the bait. And the result was, they fell into this situation.
"No need to speak more, notify every branch, order them to secretly sneak into Violent Dragon Empire and wait for this Pope's order. Also, everyone gathered here, set out in groups, Dark Church will fully support Long Zhan to oppose Ximen Clan." Dark Pope stood up and said.
"We sincerely obey Pope's order." Seeing Dark Pope had already made up his mind, everyone stood up and said respectfully. Merely, everyone was endlessly nervous in their heart. A single mistake and their Dark Church would be annihilated along with the inheritance of dark magic.
..........
In the midst of wind and snow, two figures wearing blue water magic robes flew over to the secret entrance of Dark Church's headquarter. Their speed was so fast that they arrived before it in the blink of an eye.
"Grandma, is this the entrance of Dark Church's headquarter? How come I can only see a forest?" Shui Ruoyan asked in confusion. At this moment, standing in the midst of snow, cold wind blew her long hair and clothing, making her look just like a female celestial from the paradise.
"This place has a spirit type illusionary barrier, follow grandmother, you don't need to worry." Shui Linglong said. It seemed that she was no stranger to this place.
This grandmother and granddaughter pair walked side by side into the forest. It was quiet all around and nothing living could be seen here. And after walking for several minutes, Shui Linglong suddenly stopped and solemnly said: "How come this place is strange today?"
Shui Ruoyan nervously looked all around and lifted the magic staff in her hand, preparing to defend anything.
"Don't be nervous, there is no one around. In the past, there were many hidden lookouts in this place, but today, there is no one, so I feel that it is not quite right." Shui Linglong said.
The two people walked further ahead, but there was no path ahead, there was just a long canyon and mist covered it, so they couldn't see the bottom. They could only hear the vague sound of gurgling water.
"No path, should we fly over?" Shui Ruoyan asked.
"The entrance to Dark Church is below here, Ruoruo, let's jump down." Shui Linglong said.
"Grandmother, this canyon is so deep, wouldn't we die if we jump down?" Shui Ruoyan asked.
"Now we are in the illusionary barrier, everything we are seeing is an illusion, not real." Shui Linglong explained and then jumped down this canyon.
As for Shui Ruoyan, she looked down for a while, then jumped down closing her eyes. But, only after a second, she felt that she landed on something hard, and she staggered, nearly falling over. She opened her eyes and saw rows upon rows of houses and richly ornamented buildings. The atmosphere of this place was extraordinary too. On the opposite side, there was eight meters wide jet-black metal door with two sinister looking human skulls craved on it. And Shui Linglong was not far away from her.
At that time, Shui Ruoyan looked behind and discovered that the forest behind her had disappeared. It was replaced by an open and spacious square with dark and undead attributed totem pillars.
"So daring, actually daring to intrude our Dark Church's headquarter." At that time, a loud shouting voice resounded.
Chapter 534: The domain of Shui Linglong
This pair of grandmother and granddaughter looked towards the origin of this voice and saw a magician standing on the wall. He was watching them with his green ghastly eyes.
"Ask your Pope to come and see me." Shui Linglong coldly said.
"Truly preposterous, do you think our Pope would come to see you just because you say so? Since you two intrude our Dark Church's headquarter, don't think that you will leave this place alive." That dark magician had some misgivings, after all, these two had the ability to find the entrance of their Dark Church's headquarter, merely, the arrogant posture of Shui Linglong made him angry.
Shiu Linglong sneered in disdain and chanting an incantation, she waved her magic staff and a huge dragon formed from water magic elements in the air roared and rushed towards that dark magician.
That dark magician screamed as he was swept away by that magic dragon, then with the lashing of this dragon's tail, this dark magician was slammed to the ground in front of Shui Linglong.
As a Water Master Archmage, it was as easy as crushing an ant to deal with this Advance Dark Magician.
At this time, several figures appeared on the wall, and seeing their companion was injured, they chanted strange incantations, then innumerable dark magic covered the sky as they rained down towards this pair of grandparent and granddaughter. Merely, when these magic reached near them, with the obstruction of a blue radiance, they dissipated.
Upon seeing this, these several figures felt that something was wrong, then they hastily retreated. Shui Ruoyan thought that they had gone to call the reinforcement, but the result was, even after a long time, there was no movement.
"Ruoruo, we are flying in. I think something is very wrong with Dark Church. Something must have happened." Shui Linglong said. Even though she had bullied the people of Dark Church in front of their headquarter, there unexpectedly was no movement inside. If this was usual, then just after entering that illusory barrier, they should have already been under the attack.
This pair of grandmother and granddaughter flew over the tall wall and saw there was a big courtyard inside. All was lifeless black in color that would make people feel oppressed. What was even stranger was, they didn't see any figure inside. Even those few people of just now, they didn't know where they went to hide.
"Grandma, isn't this the headquarter of Dark Church? How come it is empty as if no one resides here?" Shui Ruoyan asked in confusion.
Shui Linglong shook her head and said: "Be careful, I don't know what Dark Church is playing."
Just after she spoke, the change occurred. The entire courtyard was suddenly covered with a layer of dense black qi, in addition, an ill wind blew, specters wailed and all kind of terrifying resentment specters and zombies appeared.
Shui Ruoyan had just thought to make a move, but Shui Linglong stopped her. Then, although Shui Ruoyan didn't see what Shui Linglong did, the surging black mist as well as those undead creatures of this courtyard suddenly stagnated. Next, a blue colored radiance rippled all around the sky. Not long after, the courtyard was reverted back to its original state. That black mist and those undead creatures disappeared under the illumination of this blue radiance. Only four dark magicians were collapsed in the courtyard. Now, they were watching Shui Linglong in fear.
Shu Linglong snorted, then space itself distorted and restored to the original state. Just a moment ago, she had used the water domain she had comprehended just some time ago.
"Now will you talk what happened? Where is Dark Pope?" With water magic elements floating around her, Shui Linglong asked. Now, she looked so noble that they didn't dare to look straight at her.
"Venerable Master Archmage Shui Linglong, we can only reply that His Majesty the Pope is not here. The entire church is empty with only a few of us stationed here to guard." A dark magician sat up and helplessly said. The opponent was Master Archmage, thus, now, they didn't even have any thoughts of resistance.
"Where did he go?" Shui Linglong indifferently asked.
"We don't know." That magician replied.
Shui Linglong frowned and several blue light halos immediately bound these four people and began to shrink slowly. The four people screamed and begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Tell me where Dark Pope has gone and I will let you go?" Shui Linglong coldly said and her eyes flashed with ominous light. She had no time to waste here, that Cruse Blood Magic was slowly receding her bodily functions. Now, she even had many white hairs, but she had skillfully covered them up so as to not let Shui Ruoyan notice them.
That blue light halo became tighter and tighter. If they waste any time, those magicians would definitely die.
"We beg you, please let us go, we only know that His Majesty Pope has ordered everyone to secretly head to Violent Dragon Empire." One of them couldn't stand this torture and opened his mouth.
Shui Linglong was startled. That blue light halo stopped tightening and she asked: "Why did they go to Violent Dragon Empire?"
"We truly don't know that. We are just the lowest level people in the church, so we were left behind by His Majesty Pope to guard this place. As for what they intend to do, we truly don't have any authority to know." That dark magician trembled and said.
Shui Linglong waved her magic staff and retracted her domain, then holding Shui Ruoyan, she flew away from this Dark Church.
And just when they were about to step out of the illusory barrier, Shui Linglong stopped and her complexion became pale as if a paper, in addition, blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
"Grandma, what happened?" Don't frighten me." Shui Ruoyan turned pale with fright and hastily supporting Shui Linglong, she made her sit on the snowland.
Shui Linglong looked at her beautiful granddaughter and said with affection: "Grandmother is fine, it's just that I forcibly use domain just a moment ago, no need to worry."

"Is that so? Grandma, are you hiding something from me?" Shui Ruoyan was not stupid. These days, she had often seen unusual behaviors of Shui Linglong and she instinctively felt uneasy, however, she hadn't spoken that out.
"Silly girl, what will your grandmother hide from you? Don't let your imagination run wild. Now the snowstorm is not that big, let's quickly go to Violent Dragon Empire, then we can see your father and also that stinking kid of Ximen Clan." Shui Linglong said with a smile and her expression reverted back to normal.
Shui Ruoyan still felt uneasy in her heart but since Shui Linglong doesn't seem to want to let her know, she also pretended to be relieved from a burden.
Shui Linglong secretly sighed in her heart looking at this boundless snow. She was clearly feeling that her strength was not enough, but whatever happens, she had to hold on until they find Dark Pope, when all was said and done, he was her only son.
And at this moment, Dark Pope and his wife Ye'er along with their subordinates however had secretly slipped into Violent Dragon Empire pretending to be traveling merchants.
Chapter 535: Deceitful Military Adviser
Violent Dragon Empire, Soaring Dragon City.
The snowstorm had stopped, and the streets were filled with multicolored lights. But, at this moment, Soaring Dragon City that should be very bustling was as quiet as a ghost town. Every household had shut their door and all the stores had stopped doing business early.
Because of the sudden imperial decree of curfew, all common people of Soaring Dragon City were in the state of anxiety. The common people here in the imperial city were very sensitive to political changes. In addition, with those stern looking soldiers patrolling frequently, common people felt all the more that something was about to happen.
At this moment, that Military Adviser who was disguised as Long Zhan was sitting on the Dragon Throne, overlooking high-ranking military officers below. That cold atmosphere made everyone tremble with fear, and no one dared to even breathe heavily.
"Your Highness, it is already so late at night, why haven't we make a move yet?" Among them, one senior general was no longer able to endure this oppressive atmosphere and asked.
"Don't be impatient." Long Zhan look up and said indifferently, then the hall fell into silence again.

Not long after, a shadow suddenly appeared beside Long Zhan, then disappeared quietly after whispering something in the ear of Long Zhan.
The complexion of Long Zhan changed and said: "The plan has changed, the operation of tonight is canceled."
The high-ranking military officials sitting in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay. They were somewhat at a loss. All soldiers were already in their position, as long as the order was issued, they could launch the attack, annihilating the rebel Ximen Clan. But now, in the final moment, this operation was suddenly canceled, what was going on here?
Long Zhan stood up from the Dragon Chair and waved his hand to stop the commotion made by the high-ranking military officers, then said: "I know your doubts. There is a reason for the sudden cancellation of this plan we have been preparing for so long. Moreover, we have no certainty to win in this war. In the mountain just outside the city, a large number of soldiers are hidden, it is unknown how many are there, but according to scouts' report, there are at least 100,000 soldiers. I truly didn't expect Ximen Clan to secretly train such a large number of private soldiers."
"Your Highness, then what should we do? Since Ximen Clan has such a huge army, won't they take the initiative to attack?" One senior general asked.
"I have already drawn up a plan on what we should do next. As for Ximen Clan, they would not dare to take rash action." Long Zhan said and his eyes flashed with sinister and ruthless radiance.
Long Zhan returned to his imperial study and watched the military map hung on the wall. At this moment, many thoughts were circulating in his mind. He already knew the matter of Ximen Clan having a private army, but he had not expected it to be so big. Now, if they fought, then even if he achieved a victory, he would also suffer heavy casualties. This moment, only the army inside the city was under his control and other troops were en route. He could guess that Ximen Clan was also in a similar situation. But, the fighting power of these soldiers stationed inside the city was mediocre, so they could only serve as cannon fodders.
If the allied army led by Beitang Yu returned, then even if Ximen Clan was eradicated from Soaring Dragon City, it would be useless...
When he was thinking, crown prince Long Ying hastily pushed opened the door and entered, then said loudly: "Father emperor, why was the operation canceled?"
Long Zhan stared at Long Ying and snorted: "How can you accomplish big things being so impatient? You should also know the reason why I canceled this operation."
"Father emperor, even if Ximen Clan have 100,000 private soldiers, what can they do? Don't we also have dark warriors? In addition, there are also 150,000 soldiers. Ximen Clan is basically not our opponent. Furthermore, the two sons of Ximen Clan are already under Puppet Curse Magic. Once they are screwed, the morale of the other side will sharply decline. We don't need to fear them." Long Ying calmed down his impatient mental state and said.
"What do you know, losing 800 to kill 1000 enemies, even if we achieve victory like that, our vitality will be greatly damaged." Long Zhan slowly said.
"Then, what should we do, father emperor?" Long Yi sat down and asked. He had thought that he would demonstrate his courage and power today, but to his surprise, he unexpectedly had to leave the matter unsettled.
Long Zhan turned sideways and looking at the military map, he said: "To achieve victory with minimal loss, this is the essence of the war. You don't need to be impatient, just quietly wait for a few days to watch a good show."
......….
In the secret room below Heaven Forbidden Prison, Long Yi laid out a spirit restoring magic array. It was able to continuously restore the spirit power of the person within the array. Although the restoring speed was not fast, it was better than nothing. If this kind of spirit restoring magic array was used in warfare, then it would have an amazing effect. Because, although magician squad had terrifying attack power, their magic spells consumed a large amount of spirit power, thus, they couldn't fight for a long time, but with the help of this spirit restoring magic array, they could last at least twice as long in battle. Don't look down upon this addition time, normally, a magician squad of one thousand magicians could cause 30,000 to 50,000 casualties. And if they were able to last twice as long, then that would be equivalent to creating 30,000 to 50,000 more casualties among enemy soldiers.
After one entire day and night, the radiance of spirit restoring magic array gradually weakened and Long Yi moved his hands supporting the back of Mu Hanyan away as he exhaled a mouthful of chaotic air. Now, although she was still weak, she was no longer in a mortal danger. She would recover fully as long as she was nursed well.
Long Yi hugged Mu Hanyan and affectionately caressed her beautiful hair. He nearly lost this mysterious woman forever.
Not long after, long eyelashes of Mu Hanyan moved and she opened her eyes. Then, seeing Long Yi who was warmly staring at her, she smiled and weakly said: "Damned heartless fellow, why were you so late to save me?"
"Little lascivious hussy, don't you know that the hero always appears at the last moment to highlight his greatness?" Long Yi smirked and said.
"If I truly die, then will you cry for me? Will you remember me throughout your life?" Mu Hanyan asked in a low voice as she stared straight in the eyes of Long Yi without blinking.
"Of course... not, I will be too vexed if you die just like this and I will also look down on you. In addition, you are clearly not soul-stirring enough, how can I remember you throughout my life? Naturally, I will also not cry, a man will shed blood but not shed tears." Long Yi said with a bad smile, but in his heart, he knew that, if Mu Hanyan truly died, then he would feel incomparable pain and this pain would turn into a sorrow for his lifetime.
"Hateful demon, heartless fellow." Mu Hanyan closed her eyes while pouting.
Long Yi couldn't help laughing. It was very rare to see such a little girl side of Mu Hanyan.
"Yu, my entire body is sticky. It is so uncomfortable, I want to take a bath." Mu Hanyan suddenly said.
"Take a bath? That is simple." Long Yi said with a smile, then his big hand flashed with blue radiance and water magic elements began to gather in the sky, becoming a big pool of clear water in midair. Long Yi had used his spirit power to suspend this small-scale swimming pool in midair.
In addition, to be on the safe side, Long Yi created a barrier, then taking off his and Mu Hanyan's clothing, he flew into the swimming pool suspended in midair with Mu Hanyan in his bosom.
Long Yi gently washed the entire body of Mu Hanyan. He didn't leave behind even an inch of her skin. This beautiful ** was incomparably tempting like before, but the eyes of Long Yi didn't have even a hint of lust. With the current state of Mu Hanyan, how could she endure his pounding?
"Come, be obedient and raise your hands." Long Yi coaxed Mu Hanyan like he was coaxing a child while gently drying every inch of her body.
Mu Hanyan just leaned on the chest of Long Yi while staring at this gentle and warm Long Yi and she couldn't help becoming sentimental. When did this man begin to occupy her heart? When was he engraved in her flesh and blood? Every time she saw him, her maiden heart would involuntarily throb for him, was it because of his overbearingness or because of his evilness or because of his gentleness?
After washing her body, Long Yi took out a big bed from his space ring and lied down on the bed hugging naked Mu Hanyan.
"We should stay here for the time being. I guess the defense inside and outside the imperial palace is very tight now. And I don't have any fighting power now, moreover, I don't want to startle the snake beating around the bush, in any case, if that b*****d discovers that I am still alive, he will definitely be prepared to some extent. I will definitely repay him the favor of this time." When Mu Hanyan mentioned that Military Adviser, her eye turned ice-cold.
"Hanyan, do you have the way to deal with those dark warriors?" Long Yi asked.
"I taught him how to refine dark warriors, of course, I know how to deal with them. You will know it in the future." Mu Hanyan replied and snuggled up into the bosom of Long Yi as if she was drawing the warmth from his body.
Long Yi hugged Mu Hanyan and said: "You still haven't recovered completely, close your eyes and sleep for a while."
Mu Hanyan just purred like a cat, but her little hand suddenly slid down from the chest of Long Yi and grabbed his little brother that was half hard and half soft. Then, she whispered closing her eyes: "Yu, love me..."
Long Yi spanked the b**t of Mu Hanyan and said: "Little **, don't you know how weak you are at this moment?"
Mu Hanyan just opened her mouth and nibbled the chest of Long Yi. Then, with a hint of redness on her pale face, her little hand slid up and down on his little brother as she said: "Put it in, I want to feel you within my body."
Long Yi took a deep breath and under the guide of Mu Hanyan's little hand, his little brother entered that warm Peach Blossom Valley. But, not long after that, the breathing of Mu Hanyan became even as she had fallen into a deep sleep. Now, Long Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he had to bear his unbearable fire of lust.
At this moment, above the secret room, Sharman, Crystal and Murong Shuyu were still waiting for the arrival of Long Yi. Murong Shuyu had already moved all her items including big bed, sofa and so on to this special prison cell. Now, these women who originally were quarreling with each other had already become close. Murong Shuyu was very curious about the matters of Dragon Race and Sharman and Crystal also happened to be curious about the matters of human race, thus, they chimed in easily.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew and the three women who were enthusiastically chatting with each other simultaneously looked over towards that head-sized hole.
Chapter 536: Powerful specters
Chapter 536: Powerful specters
"How come the wind is coming from below? Moreover, how come it is so gloomy and cold?" Murong Shuyu said, looking at that hole.
"What an evil aura, it seems to be an undead type creature." Sharman frowned and said.
Just after she spoke, a red mist curled up from that head-sized hole which gradually took shape in this special prison cell. In addition, that dense bloody resentment qi made them feel like vomiting.
"What is this resentment spirit? How come it is so strange?" Crystal covered her nose and said retreating two steps back. This bloody aura was a somewhat denser than the dark aura of Boss level Dark Specter.
As if that bloody resentment spirit sensed the aura of living people, it squeaked and rushed towards these women.
Sharman waved her little hand and dense dark dragon aura met it head-on, instantly dispersing this bloody resentment spirit. Merely, to her surprise, although this bloody resentment spirit had received damaged, not long after, its dispersed body reformed again, then rushed towards them.
Sharman frowned and jumped, then drew a circle in the air with this bloody resentment spirit at the center. After that, using her dark dragon power, this bloody resentment spirit was devoured clean.
"Big sister Sharman, you are amazing." Seeing Sharman easily dealing with this bloody resentment spirit, Crystal couldn't help applauding in praise.
"Not at all." Sharman said with no other choice. It appeared as if she was able to deal with this bloody resentment spirit very quickly, but she had spent a lot of her dragon power. This strange resentment spirit was very powerful, more powerful than Dark Specter.
"But, how can this resentment spirit come from below? Does this have something to do with Ximen Yu?" Murong Shuyu nervously asked.
"Does he has something to do with this? Perhaps, he was playing around with this thing." Sharman said in annoyance. That fellow was strong enough to make her have some misgivings. He looked 20 or so in age, but his cultivation was comparable or a bit higher than herself who had cultivated for several thousand years.Naturally, this made her very upset.
"That might be true, merely, how come he is not coming out even though it has already been so long... Big sister Sharman, do you have any means to go in and take a look?" Murong Shuyu looked at Sharman with hope. Although she knew that Long Yi was very powerful, a girl in love was stupid like this.
"Perhaps, when I was just born, but now, I don't have any means unless this hole is expanded. But, this metal is too hard, it is impossible to expand it within a few hours." Sharman was willing to help but was unable to do so.
"Ah... look, another one came out." Crystal shouted pointing towards that hole.
"Not one, it's a crowd..." Sharman made a bitter smile looking at that red mist coming out from that hole. She considered whether they should withdraw from this prison cell first or not. In any case, if there was countless resentment spirit below, then they would be in danger.
But, before she had time to think over, these bloody resentment specters shrieked and rushed towards them like a swarm of bees after sensing the aura of living people. Seeing this, these three women couldn't help but shiver.
Sharman and Crystal simultaneously roared and their aura forced these resentment spirits back, then, along with the flashing of white light, Sharman activated the barrier pearl, separating themselves from these bloody resentment spirits.
Those resentment spirits began to pile up in this prison cell. Now, there was over a hundred of them, moreover, these bloody resentment specters were somewhat more powerful than Dark Specter which was a BOSS level undead creature. It was terrifying just thinking about this. But, where exactly were they coming from? The three women sat on the sofa and began to ponder for the time being.
Such a powerful evil aura, Long Yi naturally sensed it. He guessed that resentment spirits had formed in that secret room where dried corpses and skeletons were deposited. However, he had not guessed that those resentment spirits would be so powerful, thus, he continued to lie on the bed while hugging Mu Hanyan.
Only when the barrier he had set up fluctuated violently under their attack, Long Yi realized that the matters weren't as simple as he had imagined.
Long Yi gently placed sleeping Mu Hanyan on the bed, then jumped out of the bed wearing his clothes. And when he walked out of the barrier, he saw that this place was crowded with bloody resentment spirits as well as powerful undead creatures. Seeing this, even though his temperament was tough and tensile, he was also dumbfounded. He already knew that that secret room where the corpses were deposited was the best place to cultivate resentment spirits, merely, he had not expected that it would give rise to so many powerful bloody resentment spirits and undead creatures. Could it be that Military Adviser used some trick in this secret room? Then, why was he not here?
Other than some concern in his heart, Long Yi was somewhat happy. There were so many powerful specters here, if he could subdue them, then they could become a big helping hand.
Long Yi summoned Long Two from his dark space dimension, watching those bloody resentment specters and undead creatures. Long Two was wearing black colored bone armor with blood scythe in his hand and there was a red light flickering in his pitch-black eyesockets. Seeing him, those bloody resentment specters and undead creatures stopped and retreated in fear while screaming.
Although these specters were powerful, Long Two's body emitted a very pure and powerful dark aura. Only the king of Undead World had such aura.
Long Two took a step forward and the red radiance in his eyesockets suddenly flickered violently, then a kind of strange roar came from his abdominal cavity. Immediately after that, those bloody resentment specters as well as undead creatures trembled and didn't dare to move.
Perfect opportunity, Long Yi rejoiced inwardly, then he circulated dark power within his body and chanted an obscure undead magic. Suddenly, thousands of black light shot out from his fingers and branded his mark on these undead creatures.
......….
"Big sister Sharman, it seems this barrier will not last long." Seeing the barrier was fluctuating violently, Crystal worriedly said.
"It doesn't matter, I have more." Sharman showed a milky white barrier pearl.
"Big sister Sharman, I think we should withdraw from this prison cell first. In this prison cell, I cannot use douqi and magic, I cannot help you at all." Murong Shuyu said. Sharman and Crystal had their powerful dragon power, but she didn't have any.
Sharman hesitated. These bloody resentment specters were somewhat hard to deal with. With her dark dragon power, she would be unable to exterminate these over a hundred bloody resentment specters.
At that time, those bloody resentment specters who were violently attacking barrier suddenly screamed in panic and scattered in succession, opening an open space around that head-sized hole. And Long Yi had already appeared there at an unknown time and there was a strange skeleton standing beside him.
Chapter 537: Peerless skeleton
The room became quiet without any sound.
Three pairs of beautiful eyes stared at Long Yi as if they were looking at a freak. They looked up and down, left and right as if they wanted to see through him.
On the other hand, Long Yi remained calm and composed while comfortably sitting on the soft sofa. He sipped a mouthful of steaming hot green tea and then his eyebrows smoothened out, appearing to be enjoying the lingering taste.
But a pair of dark claws massaging Long Yi's shoulders were even more eye-catching. That's right, the person who was giving Long Yi a massage was his younger brother, the peerless skeleton, Long Two. At this moment, his that blood scythe with dense baleful aura was hung on the six overgrown bones on his back, and his empty claws were massaging Long Yi with all his effort. One didn't know whether that was an illusion or not but the red light flickering in his pitch-black eyesockets unexpectedly seemed to have a hint of gentleness and admiration.
"Hey, Long Yi..." Crystal was unable to endure this anymore, so she shouted nervously.
"If you have something to say, then why on earth are you mincing? It's shaming your title as she-T. Rex." Long Yi gently looked up and putting down the teacup on the table in front of him, he said.
Crystal and Sharman glared at him at the same time. They wished to raise their hand to strike but were honestly too curious in their heart. The scene of just a moment ago was still replaying repeatedly in their mind.
Just when the barrier was about to be broken by those bloody resentment spirits, Long Yi suddenly appeared along with that very strange skeleton. Then, as if this skeleton had a kingly aura, these more than a hundred bloody resentment spirits quickly opened up a path and admitted their defeat in fear. Then, Long Yi effortlessly collected them. After that, Long Yi patted the shoulder of this skeleton and said "Good job." In turn, this skeleton unexpectedly answered in a mechanical voice: "Big brother..."
Speaking skeleton? The three women were dumbfounded at that time. Ever since the recorded history, there was no record of any skeleton that was able to speak. What did this represent? This represented that this skeleton had wisdom. This was too shocking. If the skeletons of the entire world had wisdom, then it would not be the turn of humankind to rule this world, rather undead creatures would have ruled this world.
And especially seeing Long Yi enjoying the massage of this skeleton, the three women had to look at each other in blank dismay and fall into silence.
Crystal was the first person that was unable to endure this silence, she rushed over and sat beside Long Yi, then timidly extended her little hand towards the arm of Long Two.
Kacha, Long Two turned his head and the red light flickering inside his pitch-black eyesockets stared at Crystal. This frightened Crystal so much that she quickly retracted her little hand.
"Eh... big brother skeleton, hello, can we be friends?" Crystal stared at Long Two and said.
"I am not big brother, my big brother is big brother." Long Two replied with his mechanical voice. In his simple consciousness, only Long Yi was the big brother in this world.
Seeing Long Two could reply, Crystal immediately became excited. Although his answer was somewhat childish, this at least proved that he had the ability to think independently.
"Then, what is your name?" Crystal excitedly asked.
"Long Two." Long Two replied.
"Then, do you know how you came into being in this world?" Crystal asked with sparkling eyes.
The red light in the eyesockets of Long Two flickered for a while as if he was thinking about it. But, this type of question was clearly too profound for Long Two. He replied after a long time: "Bog brother..."
Crystal was somewhat disappointed and she turned to look towards Long Yi, hoping for an answer.
But, it was no use asking Long Yi this question. The law of the creation of heaven and earth was related to the profound mystery of the universe. Why was a skeleton able to give rise to a consciousness? This was something even Long Yi couldn't explain. He also wanted to know why. So, he could only shrug his shoulders to express that he also don't know.
"Long Yi, say, where did those resentment spirits of just now come from?" Sharman knew that it was useless to ask the same question again, so she changed the subject of conversation to those powerful resentment spirits.
"I don't know, but not long ago, someone laid out a Nine Yin Soul Refining Array below this place. And there is a secret room just below this place where dried corpses and skeletons are deposited. Perhaps, because those people died due to the extraction of their energy and vitality while still alive, along with this geographical condition with dense resentment, they come into being. Or, someone might have used some trick. I am not certain." Long Yi frowned and said. He had also been thinking over this question, but even though he had carefully checked that secret room before he came up, he didn't discover anything particular. Only the yin qi of this place was denser to a certain extent compared to other places.
"By the way, you still have yet to tell me why you hastily went down." Murong Shuyu said.
"To save a person." Long Yi said with a smile.
"It must be a woman, otherwise, you will not be so anxious." There was a hint of sourness in the tone of Murong Shuyu.
Long Yi just smirked agreeing tacitly, but since he didn't want to speak much about the matter of Mu Hanyan, he changed the subject: "I have a matter to handle, do you all want to stay here or go out together with me?"
"Of course, go together with you. Who is willing to stay in this awful place?" Crystal said. Originally, she had come to watch the excitement, so she would naturally go wherever was lively.
Long Yi led these three women out of this special prison cell and wandered around this Heaven Forbidden Prison. But, when they were about to reach the exit, he suddenly stopped and scan these two women behind him.
"Long Yi, what are you waiting for, hurry up, this place is more boring than Dragon Island." Crystal urged.
"Okay okay, I will take you to an amazing place, but why don't you cover those ox-horns in your head. It will be bad is other people saw them." Long Yi adjusted the hair of Crystal to cover her dragon horns.
"You... these are my dragon horns, not ox horns, if you insult me... me..., hey, wait for me." Crystal angrily said. But, before she could finish speaking, she discovered that Long Yi had already walked away.
......…
The wind and snow had already begun to stop, but the entire magnificent Soaring Dragon City was covered with snow, making it the world of snow and ice. One would wonder if legendary Snow Angel would appear here.
At this moment, Soaring Dragon City wasn't lively and bustling as usual. On the streets, other than occasional patrolling imperial guards, not a shadow could be seen. Because of that imperial decree of curfew, the entire city was enveloped with a layer of the heavy atmosphere.
"There is no one, it is no fun at all." Crystal complained while flying.
"Want fun? Then, see that imperial palace over there, there are many people inside, if you go and attack them, it would be amusing." Long Yi smirked and pointed at the imperial palace far away.
The eyes of Crystal glimmered, clearly was thinking a little to do so.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, making a move here is bound to attract Elder Pierre, then your behind is bound to bloom, do you want that?" Sharman glared at Long Yi while stopping Crystal.
"D**n you, you dirty b*****d, you nearly trick me." Crystal rolled her eyes.
Long Yi just smiled while thinking about how to pull these female dragons into this muddy water. If he could have these two dragons in his side, then he would have a big advantage in this war, merely, it was somewhat hard to deceive this Sharman.
"Didn't you two want to go to a fun place? Now, I will take you two there." Long Yi smiled and led the three girls directly towards Vermillion Jade Cuddling House of the ** street.
Sharman and Crystal didn't know what this place was, but Murong Shuyu was very clear. She speeded up and secretly pinched the waist of Long Yi and snorted: "Stinking Ximen Yu, what a bad intention you have!"
Long Yi gritted his teeth and fondled the breast of Murong Shuyu without anybody knowing. Murong Shuyu was startled and she jumped away with a red face. Then, Long Yi said with a bad smile: "Since you know I have a bad intention, why are you still following?"
"Because you have bad intention, I even more have to watch you." Murong Shuyu said with justice on her side.
"What is this place?" Hearing the discussion between these two, Sharman felt something was wrong.
"This place is called ** Den, naturally is the place to seek pleasure and make merry." Long Yi smirked and took to the lead to enter.
Although the imperial decree of curfew was issued, how could menfolk having some status and spare cash leisurely stay at home? They were sneaking into this ** den in threes and fours. One should know that the current situation was very tense and the warfare could break out at any time in this Soaring Dragon City. At that time, it was unknown whether they would survive or die, thus, it was better to seize this chance to seek pleasure and make merry.
Only allowed on Creativenovels.com
The people coming to this ** den, other than the people in Ximen Clan's side, there were also people in Long Clan's side. Among them, most were people having lower status within their clans, but although they had lower status within their clans, that didn't represent they didn't understand politics or couldn't see the current situation clearly. This time, in this struggle between Ximen Clan and imperial Long Clan, practically all people with some status within Soaring Dragon City were involved. These young masters with low status all knew that, regardless of Ximen Clan coming victorious or imperial Long Clan coming victorious, there will inevitably be a big cleansing within the empire. After this internal strife, half of these small and big sized clans within the imperial capital will vanish quietly from this world. Since that was the case, naturally, they wanted to enjoy themselves to full when they were still alive. They didn't care about emptying their pockets. Therefore, these people of different camps were peacefully enjoying the brothels of this ** street.
Entering the entrance gate, along with blurred lighting, men and women hugging together, leading the befuddled life appeared in front of them.
"Truly has lost all sense of shame." Seeing those half-naked women and men who had abandoned all restraint, three women spat in unison and their beautiful face reddened.
"Second Young Master, what wind blows you here?" Along with a burst of fragrance, Cui Niang walked over twisting her slender waist to welcome. Looking at Long Yi, her gaze was full of respect and a hint of unconcealable adoration.
Chapter 538: Mouth-to-mouth discussion of the private affair
"Naturally the fragrant wind of Cui Niang's body blew me here." Long Yi rubbed his nose and hugged the slender waist of Cui Niang.
Cui Niang's eyes wandered about in happiness, then said acting spoiled as she rolled her eyes: "Second Young Master is bad, you didn't come for such a long time and when you come, you take cheap advantage of this girl."
The three women felt disgusted seeing these two people fooling around and bantering in flirtation. Fortunately, Cui Niang timely reacted and familiarly pulled the hands of these three women while exchanging pleasantries, as if they were a long-time old friend. In the aspect of worldly wisdom, the current Cui Niang who had gone through special training was clearly far beyond the past Cui Niang.
Cui Niang with a bewitching smile led Long Yi and his group into an isolated room of the second floor, then closing the door, she retracted her smile and sized up these three women and again looked at Long Yi for a while. Only after Long Yi nodded his head, her expression became respectful and she knelt down to greet: "This subordinate greets Young Master."
"No need to be over-courteous, how is the current situation?" Long Yi waved his hand and asked sitting on the soft sofa.
"Replying to Young Master, in the past few days, Long Zhan has begun to amass his troops. This subordinate learned that he originally planned to make a move yesterday, but for an unknown reason, he changed the plan. Now, it looks as if all is quiet, but this subordinate guess that he must have other schemes." Cui Niang replied. Listening to her words, one could see that she had done a lot of intelligence gathering works and she was also very talented in this line of work.
Having heard what was said, Long Yi frowned and began pondering while rubbing his beard stubble. He knew that Long Zhan would make a move in near future, but, because he was in a haste to save Mu Hanyan for these last few days, he had not learned the matter of Long Zhan intending to make a move last night. Fortunately, it was canceled, otherwise, being in the underground secret room, he wouldn't have known anything happening on the surface.
But, that Military Adviser was definitely not a mediocre person. Since he had decided to make a move, he must have some level of certainty to win. However, he suddenly retracted this move, could he have other schemes like Cui Niang had guessed? As for what other schemes, Long Yi was unable to find that out. It seems, he has to return and discuss with his father. Although Ximen Clan held a great advantage at this moment, this advantage was truly not absolute because he had yet to figure out the final trump card of this Military Adviser. As long as that final trump card was unknown, it was still hard to tell who would be the one to emerge the victor.
Murong Shuyu was able to understand this matter listening to the discussion between these two people, but both Sharman and Crystal were completely clueless because they knew nothing about the current situation of Blue Waves Continent. They only felt that something major had happened seeing the current serious appearance of Long Yi and Cui Niang.
"Young Master, this subordinate will inform the spy in the imperial palace to closely watch Long Zhan. Your Master doesn't need to worry about it." Cui Niang said seeing Long Yi was frowning.
"No need, inform the spy in the imperial palace that there is no need to watch each and every move of Long Zhan. Just do as usual." Long Yi looked up and said. At this moment, he was already in high spirits.
"This subordinate obeys." Seeing the change in the expression of Long Yi, Cui Niang knew that Long Yi must have come up with a solution. In her heart, there was nothing in this world that could stump Long Yi.
"Well, since the official matters are over, you don't need to follow that set of Skynet's rules. Now, let's chat about private affairs." Long Yi smirked and said.
Cui Niang blushed. She also didn't know whether this was her misconception or not but every time Long Yi laughed, she felt that he was especially bad, bad to the bones.
"Hey, you brought us here and completely ignored us. I am bored to death." Crystal interrupted. Seeing Long Yi and Cui Niang was beginning to get ambiguous again, she couldn't help shouting.
"Bored? Then, how about you also join us to discuss private affairs? Of course, I have to point out that this private affair is the most intimate matter." Long Yi looked at Crystal with sparkling eyes. At this moment, his pitch-black eyes seemed to be burning with fire that could burn the heart of other people.
The heart of Crystal jumped quickly and she appeared somewhat unnatural, but she daringly met the eyes of Long Yi head on. Bring it on! She, a person from the grand Demonic Dragon Clan, neither feared Heaven nor Earth.
Long Yi smirked and suddenly hugged Cui Niang, then kissed her.
Cui Niang was shocked. Her entire body became stiff and then her limbs became weak. At this moment, her mind was blank and she basically was unable to think about anything. Then, along with that ** numb feeling, she closed her eyes and let big tongue of Long Yi drive straight into her mouth. And that teasing made her feel as if she was riding the clouds and flying on the mist. She felt like she would fly just like this till the end of this world.
Only after a long time, Long Yi separated his lips. Then, Cui Niang who had tasted this for the first time collapsed in the chest of Long Yi with a blurred mind. Now, her beautiful face was flushed with redness, her eyes were watery, and her red lips were rosy and beautiful as if a flower that burst into bloom. She looked very tempting at this moment.
Sharman and Crystal at one side were stunned. These two had never tasted the flavor of love, say nothing of getting so intimate like this. Now, seeing Long Yi unscrupulously getting affectionate like this in front of them, their heartbeat accelerated, but under curiosity, they continued to look. And seeing the current expression of Cui Niang, they couldn't help thinking, can kiss truly make people feel so comfortable?
As for Murong Shuyu, she knew this from experience. She was jealous and envious in her heart while blaming Long Yi for being unfaithful and also for favoring one and being prejudiced against the other.
"Crystal, now, should we discuss the private affair?" Long Yi said with a bad smile.
"Bad fellow, you are the greatest pervert in this world. Is this also called a discussion?" Crystal felt somewhat hot and dry, so she conveniently opened the window. But this window was directly facing the hall of Vermillion Jade Cuddling House and the noise entered the room. At this moment, men and women were getting even more intense under the stimulation of alcohol, so compared to the scene below, the kiss of Long Yi and Cui Niang appeared child's play.
"Why cannot it be called a discussion? Two people using mouth to interchange is called discussion. Take a look below, compared to us, they are even more living to the fullest." Long Yi pointed at those men and women below and said.
At this moment, Sharman had already understood what kind of place this was. This **den was the place where men sought pleasure and made merry. This fellow clearly had evil intentions, he actually brought them to this kind of place. But, just when she was thinking to leave this place with Crystal, she saw Long Yi was watching the boisterous hall in a daze. His pitch-black eyes showed a hint of sad emotion.
The world is so ruthless, the weak are the prey of the strong. Under this imminent situation, these people who are leading a befuddled life are just deliberately trying to forget this current situation, who knows whether they can see the sun of tomorrow or not.
Suddenly, a strange sound wave came from the window. Long Yi raised his eyebrows and turned around. Then, he saw Sharman and Crystal also had strange expression. As for Murong Shuyu and Cui Niang, they had no reaction.

The frequency of this sound was different from normal sounds. The human ear could only hear sounds within a certain range of frequencies. If the frequency was too high or too low, humans wouldn't be able to hear it. However, animals and certain races were able to hear these kinds of sound which couldn't be heard by humankind as they had a different structure in their hearing organs.
Naturally, everything wasn't absolute. For instance, Long Yi was able to hear that sound. Perhaps, when the spirit power of humankind reached a certain level, their hearing capability would reach a higher level when compared to ordinary humans.
"I have something to do now. All of you, wait for me here." Long Yi said to everyone before jumping out of the window. In the next instant, he disappeared into the boundless snowland.
Sharman and Crystal looked at each other and they seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. They quickly jumped out of the window at the same time as they flew towards the direction where Long Yi disappeared.

Outside, the snowfall had already stopped. Only a fierce cold wind was blowing. However, the sky was filled with a layer of mist.
A figure who was gently flapping a pair of spotlessly white wings was standing high in the sky. She had short green hair and emerald like shiny eyes.
"Little Shaman, the sexy leopard patterned cloth suits you better." Long Yi appeared out of thin air in front of Ou Yala and commented on her appearance after looking at her cyan colored robe. He had a very deep impression of her when he had seen her for the first time. In the past, he was wearing a wild and flamboyant dress which made her look exceptionally sexy and wild.
"Young Master..." She finally got to see Long Yi after such a long time… Ou Yala was extremely happy in her heart. As for what Long Yi said… She was already accustomed to his flowery mouth.
"What matter do you have? Why do you need to look for me in person?" Long Yi no longer talked nonsense. He knew that Ou Yala definitely had an important matter if she came to look for him personally.
Ou Yala became serious. The serious expression on her face caused Long Yi's heart to tighten. Could it be that something major which was out of his expectations occurred?
"Young Master, the beastmen army avoided the Proud Moon Empire and Nalan Empire as they directly crossed the Blue Waves River. Via the Sand Wave Kingdom and Enlightened Hero Principality, they are pressing towards the western border of the Violent Dragon Empire." Ou Yala solemnly said.
"What?" Long Yi was startled. Wasn't there no movement in the beastmen army? Why were they already almost at the border? How could no one realize anything? Were all the people in the Skynet Intelligence Organization dead?
"These past two years, our Winged Clan has always sent someone to monitor the movement of the beastmen clan. However, we noticed that none of the soldiers in the beastmen army left their military camp to train. However, when it was time to eat, a large amount of smoke would rise up from the midst of the military camp. In addition to that, there had been a snowstorm raging for several days. As such, we didn't pay much attention to the beastmen army."
"However, ten days ago, when I arrived at the Dark Magic Forest in the Enlightened Hero Principality to gather seeds of a specific kind of plant, I discovered traces of huge camps. After following the trail, I discovered a beastmen army of approximately 300,000. They were advancing rapidly towards the Violent Dragon Empire. I estimate that they will enter the border of the Violent Dragon Empire after two days." Ou Yala said as she felt guilty. If her branch had found the whereabouts of the beastmen army in advance, Long Yi wouldn't be in such a passive position.
Long Yi patted the shoulder of Ou Yala and said, "No need to feel guilty, this is not your fault. It seems as though the Bimeng Clan and the Military Advisor are working together."
This army of 300,000 beastmen, since they were dispatched in such a critical juncture, were definitely the elites. This 300,000 strong army was enough to cause complete confusion in the entire Violent Dragon Empire. There was absolutely no chance for the local army in those places to contend against them. This was a serious problem. It seemed as though Long Yi found out the reason the Military Advisor canceled his move the day before. As it turned out, it was to wait for his reinforcements.
It would take several days for the allied army of two empires to return from the Proud Moon Empire. They would definitely be late if they wanted to rescue the Violent Dragon Empire. Could it be that he had to let the beastmen army rob and massacre wantonly within the border of the Violent Dragon Empire? Was there no way to deal with this problem?
Long Yi thought about it as he flew high in the sky. As for Ou Yala, she stood there quietly as she watched him. For her, the expression Long Yi had when he was thinking was even more attractive to her than his usual cheeky appearance. For women, serious men were always especially attractive.
Of course, Long Yi was completely oblivious to Ou Yala's thoughts. He was thinking hard about the countermeasures. That Military Adviser was truly cunning… His move of crossing the sea by a trick really caught him unprepared. Now, there was a difficult problem in front of the Ximen Clan. Should they dispatch troops in order to fend off the beastmen army or not? However, the Ximen Clan only had those 100,000 elite soldiers who were stationed at the outskirt mountain. They were the private troops which the Ximen Clan had secretly cultivated for these past few years. According to Ximen Nu, the fighting power of these 100,000 soldiers was higher than any other troop except the Unparalleled Battalion which was trained by Long Yi.
However, this secret army was the Ximen Clan's trump card. If they were dispatched to contend against this big army, there would be a huge disparity between the Ximen Clan and the Military Advisor. The moment the Military Advisor dispatched his 150,000 elites and his unknown number of dark warriors, the Ximen Clan would be ruined.
However, if the Ximen Clan didn't dispatch the troops, the 300,000 strong beastmen army would rush over and attack the Ximen Clan. At that point, the Ximen Clan would be attacked from both sides. This was a very complicated knot.
At this time, Ou Yala who was quietly looking at Long Yi from one side suddenly lifted up her head and stared at the place behind Long Yi. A trace of killing intent leaked out of her.
Two figures appeared beside Long Yi. They were Sharman and Crystal who had secretly followed Long Yi. Both of them turned a blind eye to the Ou Yala's hostility. They simply looked at Ou Yala with a curious expression.
"Eh… This is really someone from the legendary Winged Clan, the apostle of the Wind God. Her wings are so beautiful." Crystal exclaimed in surprise and reached out her little hand to feel Ou Yala's spotlessly white wings.
Ou Yala instantly moved sideways and waved her little hand. Several strands of cyan qi bound Crystal.
"It's wind magic… Unfortunately, it's too weak." Crystal said and with a shake of her body, she broke free of the binding.
The expression of Ou Yala changed and she began to chant an incantation. All of a sudden, light cyan colored magic elements began to condense.
"Ah, I thought of a way!" Long Yi exclaimed suddenly, scaring all three women. Ou Yala's spell was also interrupted.
"What way?" Ou Yala also knew that these two women had to be Long Yi's acquaintance. As such, she stopped trying to fight them. When she heard that Long Yi had thought of a way, she flew to his side and asked.
Long Yi smirked and looked at Sharman and Crystal with shifty eyes. The moment they saw his sneaky gaze, goosebumps formed all over their body. Although they had known Long Yi for just a short time, they knew that he was a perverted and bad fellow.
"What do you want to do?" Sharman asked with an alert expression on her face. She secretly rose her guard against Long Yi.
"Why on earth are you being so tense? I am not a bad person, just... that... I have a request I have to make. I hope that the two of you can help me out a little." Long Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a brilliant smile.
"Not helping." Sharman rejected without thinking.
"Ai, don't be so cold. Did you forget how you injuries healed so quickly? Whose contribution was that?" Long Yi sorrowfully said.
Sharman hesitated a bit. Sharman's moral character wasn't bad. When she heard Long Yi's words, she knew that she really owed Long Yi a favor. If it was not for him finding Liuxu to cure her. She might still be lying on the bed as she suffered the effects of the Divine Dragon aura which was corroding her body.
"Besides, I am not asking you to help me for free." When he saw Sharman's attitude, Long Yi changed his tone and he struck while the iron was still hot.
"Then, what are the benefits for us?" Crystal excitedly asked Long Yi before Sharman could say anything.
Sharman glared at Crystal and said carefully, "First of all, tell us about the thing you need help with."
"Didn't you just hear about the matter we discussed? I need you two to stop that 300,000 beastmen army. It doesn't need to be for too long… Just five or six days will be enough." Long Yi said casually.
Sharman frowned and anger appeared on her beautiful face. She said in a cold voice, "Are you intentionally making things difficult for us? You clearly know that if we transform into our true form, Elder Pierre will definitely notice."
Long Yi ignored her and said with a smile, "Why are you so impatient? Let me tell you the benefits first. If you are willing to help, I can guarantee that Elder Pierre will not only not pursue the matter of you two secretly escaping Dragon Island. He will also allow the two of you to play around in the Blue Waves Continent until you are satisfied. What do you think?"
"Awesome! Big sister Sharman, let's agree to his terms." When she heard his terms, Crystal immediately agreed. How could she miss this good chance? If whatever Long Yi said was true, they wouldn't need to hide here and there when they were on the Blue Waves Continent.
"Even if you are telling the truth, do you think that Crystal and I have the ability to stop the 300,000 strong beastmen army?" Sharman said. Although Sharman and Crystal couldn't be considered weak and they were basically invincible in the human world unless they met freaks like Long Yi, there was the matter of ants biting an elephant to death. Fighting against 300,000 soldiers… She didn't think that the two of them were enough to accomplish the task.
"If this task is so easy to accomplish, will I need to look for you two?" Long Yi said with a smile.
Sharman took a deep breath and said, "We can try, but I cannot guarantee that we will absolutely succeed."
"I believe that the two of you can do it." Long Yi looked at these two women with a gaze full of confidence.
Chapter 540: Long Yi's countermeasures
Vermilion Jade Cuddling House, in the secret room underground.
Long Yi was staring at the big military map hung on the wall with his hands clasped behind his back as Cui Niang stood silently behind him.
"Immediately dispatch two squads, one squad to Light City and the other squad to meet up with Beitang Yu going across Light City via the mountain path." Long Yi said. Turning around, two sealed thick bamboo tubes appeared in his hand. They were already prepared by him.
The thick bamboo tube that was to be delivered to Light City had a yellow magic seal and the one that was to be delivered to Beitang Yu had a red seal. Yellow represented 'urgent' and the red represented 'most urgent'. This meant that both of the bamboo tubes had to be delivered as fast as possible using any means.
......…
After he asked Ou Yala to lead Sharman and Crystal to the western border, Long Yi returned to the Ximen Residence along with Murong Shuyu.
"Second Young Master, you are finally back. Patriarch instructed me to tell you to immediately go to the study the moment you return." The butler of Ximen Residence hastily said when he saw Long Yi.
After instructing the butler to lead Murong Shuyu to his courtyard, he immediately left for the study of the Ximen Residence.Long Yi instructed this butler to led Murong Shuyu to his courtyard, then immediately went to the study of Ximen Residence. When he neared the study, he discovered that the study was heavily guarded with layer upon layer of guards surrounding the place. There were powerful barriers guarding the place as well.
Long Yi passed by layer upon layer of guards and the moment he touched the barrier, the door of the study opened. When Ximen Nu saw Long Yi, he opened the barrier to let him in.
"Eh, father-in-law, grandfather… You are also here." Walking in, Long Yi saw Nangong Zhangfeng and Dongfang Qiming sitting on the chair. Out of the four major families, three of them were gathered in this study. Presumably, they were thinking about a plan to deal with Long Zhan.
"Yu'er, you came at just the right time. Long Zhan's original plan to make a move yesterday was suddenly canceled. Do you think that he has other schemes?" Dongfang Qiming didn't exchange many pleasantries with Long Yi. Since it was a currently a matter of life and death, this was not the time for doing so. His question was blunt and went straight to the point. He didn't doubt the strength of his grandson.

"Of course he has other schemes. He had already reached an agreement with the beastmen clans. As of now, a 300,000 strong beastmen army is pressing towards the western border of my Violent Dragon Empire. When they enter the border, they will definitely shake the entire empire and attack us from behind. By cooperating with Long Zhan, they will attack us from two sides. With so many people, their saliva alone will be enough to drown us." Long Yi directly sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of green tea. Leaning back on the sofa, he leisurely sipped at his cup of tea. Looking at his current relaxed appearance, it appeared as though it wasn't their three major families who were forced into a hopeless situation. He made it seem as though it wasn't his problem at all.
"What? This... How could this be? A 300,000 beastmen army marching several thousand li is not a small movement. Why didn't our scouts notice them?" Ximen Nu and other two were shocked. They couldn't believe this news.
"No need to keep guessing. I have already confirmed this piece of intelligence. I suspect that the Sand Wave Kingdom and the Enlightened Hero Principality have already fallen to Long Zhan's side. In any case, the beastmen army will invade us from the western border of our Violent Dragon Empire within two or three days." Long Yi shrugged his shoulders and said. He still had a relaxed look on his face.
"300,000 beastmen army! Long Zhan truly schemed well… Now, our military strength is insufficient to deal with him. If we move our troops, it will be difficult to contend against Long Zhan. If we don't move our troops, the beastmen army will flood our Violent Dragon Empire and fill it with blood. Not to mention the fact that they will attack us from behind… Ai." Dongfang Qiming sighed. Being an old politician, he could see the clear picture in a single glance.
"Your Excellency father-in-law doesn't need to worry. This stinking lad is so calm… He definitely has a plan." Ximen Nu said to Dongfang Qiming.
"My worthy son-in-law, if you have any good ideas, don't leave us hanging in suspense." Nangong Zhangfeng also laid down his worries when he saw Long Yi's appearance. There was a smile on his face which hadn't been seen in a long time. He completely believed in this son-in-law of his.
"Of course, I have a way, but there are some risks. I have a way to stop the 300,000 beastmen army for five or six days. Right now, we have to attack them first. As long as we resolve everything within a few days, we have no need to fear the beastmen army." Long Yi said with a smile.
"However… The walls of the imperial palace are not only tall and thick, but they also have an extremely powerful defensive barrier. Not to mention the fact that we have insufficient troops here. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to resolve everything in a few days. Moreover, Long Zhan has an unknown number of dark warriors. The slightest bit of carelessness can cause the entire army to be wiped out." Nangong Zhangfeng shook his head and said. After he was done speaking, he suddenly caught sight of a confident smile on Long Yi's face. He couldn't help but say, "You kid… Don't you already have a plan? Hurry up and say it so that we can learn about it too."
"What if I say that I know of a secret path which leads directly into the imperial palace? Do you think we can settle everything in a few days?" Long Yi said with a smile. If he spent a day or two to expand that small hole in the lower part of the Heaven Forbidden Prison dug out by his grandfather, wouldn't that be a perfect passage for them to attack Long Zhan?
"Really?" The eyes of Ximen Nu and others shone. If there truly was such a secret path, taking down Long Zhan in a few days was not an impossible task.
"Moreover… I have a way to make the imperial palace fall into chaos without spending any of our soldiers." Long Yi smirked and said. No matter how one looked at it, the smile on Long Yi's face was extremely sinister.
"Okay, stinking kid, if you keep us in suspense any longer, you'll see how I beat the s**t out of you." Ximen Nu was pleasantly surprised. However, Long Yi was explaining the entire plan in bits and pieces. He couldn't help but get somewhat irritated. He was very eager to know the method which wouldn't cost him any soldiers to throw the imperial palace into disorder.
"Don't be impatient… We are trying to do something big here and people who do big things should be calm… Eh… Okay, I will speak." Long Yi was thinking about dragging it out in order to make the three old men impatient. When he saw the gazes of the three old men, which seemed like they wanted to eat him alive, Long Yi raised the white flag. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smirk, "The secret path I am speaking about is in the Heaven Forbidden Prison. All of you should know the kind of people imprisoned in the Heaven Forbidden Prison right? If they are released from their prison cells and they had a path which led directly into the imperial palace… You tell me, what would happen? Heh Heh…"
The three old men were instantly shocked at Long Yi's revelation. In the next moment, a delighted expression appeared on their face. Why didn't they think of this method? Heaven Forbidden Prison… This huge underground prison was home to thousands of extremely vicious criminals. All the people that were locked up here were people with extraordinary skills. Among them, there was no lack of first-rate experts. If they were released and told that there was a path leading directly into the imperial palace, those people who had been suppressing a stomach full of anger without anywhere to vent it for such a long time would definitely charge into the imperial palace to vent their anger regardless of anything.
Also, if they were given the chance, they would definitely charge into the imperial palace. It would give them a slim chance of survival. Being locked up in the Heaven Forbidden Prison where they would never see the sun again was a hellish experience for them. They truly felt as though death would be better.
"Well, you are truly a sinister stinking kid. You are more cunning and more sinister than your father…" Dongfang Qiming laughed heartily and said.
"Grandpa is overpraising me." Long Yi said with no shame. As for Ximen Nu, he laughed hollowly and he was unable to say anything to retort Dongfang Qiming. Who asked Dongfang Qiming to be his father-in-law?
The heavy atmosphere inside the study suddenly cleared out and the three old men also relaxed. Long Yi's plan was indeed sinister. If his plan succeeded, the chances of them winning would be much higher.
When he saw that the three old men finally relaxed, Long Yi became happy. He had yet to tell them that he had found a way to deal with the dark warriors behind Long Zhan. If they learned of this, wouldn't they go mad with happiness? However, Mu Hanyan had yet to tell him the method to deal with the dark warriors. That was the only reason he hadn't told them the method as he wasn't able to guarantee anything.
"By the way, Yu'er, have you seen the Kexin girl recently? She hasn't been writing letters for a long time. I wonder how she is doing now?" Dongfang Qiming suddenly asked.
Long Yi was startled and his complexion became somewhat pale. Should he tell Dongfang Qiming that Dongfang Kexin might be dead? No, he shouldn't say that at this critical moment. As the patriarch of Dongfang Clan, Dongfang Qiming shouldn't be affected at this moment.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Kexin?" When he saw that Long Yi's complexion changed the moment he mentioned Kexin, Dongfang Qiming's heart tightened. Inauspicious thoughts appeared in his heart.
Clenching his fists, Long Yi looked up and said with a bitter smile on his face, "Nothing has happened to her. However, I'm the one in trouble. From the last time I met her in Blue Moon City, she persistently wanted to drive away the women around me. She wanted to marry me and be my only wife. I was irritated by her pestering, so I spanked her. In the end, she returned to the Light Church and entered seclusion. She said that she wanted to raise her strength and chase away the women around me one by one. Now, how do you think I should handle this?"
Perhaps, the performance of Long Yi was too realistic. Dongfang Qiming laid down the worries in his heart and believed in Long Yi because he knew that Dongfang Kexin was someone who could really do something like this.
"Weren't you very good in dealing with girls? Why are you shriveling when you meet Kexin?" Dongfang Qiming scolded in jest.
"This is called brine tofu. Everything has its nemesis. My worthy son-in-law, you should focus on more serious things. However, don't leave my family's Xiangyun out in the cold." Nangong Zhangfeng laughed.
"I have finished speaking, you all can discuss slowly… I'm leaving first." Long Yi shrunk back and ran away, reaching the garden in one breath. After reaching the garden, his expression changed and he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. This infatuated cousin had become the pain and regret in his heart forever.
Suddenly, a gentle aura hugged Long Yi. It was gentle and warm like the big hands of his sweetheart, consoling the heart of Long Yi.
Long Yi was surprised. This feeling which surrounded him was extremely familiar. This feeling was similar to that feeling he had felt in that stone room in the Light City's Light Church. However, he thought that it was his misconception at that time.
Long Yi looked all around but there was not a soul in sight except for the freezing snow and wind. There were guards who were far away in the distance but Long Yi knew that the feeling didn't come from them. There were no other living beings in his vicinity…
Living being? Long Yi mumbled and spread open his palm. There was a blood-red skull mark on his palm and tiger cub Little Three, Fire Qilin, Violent Lightning Beast, and Long Two were inside it. However, if the feeling came from them, it was impossible that Long Yi would not notice. Of course, there were the resentment spirits and the undead creatures he had subdued earlier… There was no way the feeling came from them.
"Is it her..." Long Yi shook and a nearly transparent figure appeared in front of him.
