Chapter 235 Fire Dragon Palace!

Chu Xun wondered which force he should start with.

Tianlong Fort, Sifang Sword Sect... those forces all had offended him.

Suddenly, his mobile phone vibrated and interrupted his thinking.

He picked it up and glanced at it. It was a call from Long Ao.

“Hello?” Chu Xun answered the call, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. In order to avoid taking charge of the Fire Dragon Palace, he had left Long Ao behind and ran away without any sense of righteousness.

“Mr. Chu, Senior Long got injured.” It was not the voice of Long Ao, but of Zhong Ren, which sounded panicked.

The smile froze at the corner of Chu Xun’s mouth.

Back when Zhong Ren told him that Azure Dragon was injured, he thought he was lying only to draw him to the capital city. Now, he realized that it might be true. Otherwise, cunning as Long Ao was, he wouldn’t have gone to the capital city so recklessly.

“Wait for me,” Chu Xun said and hung up the phone.

Long Ao had done him a favor, so he had to go to the capital city now.

...

...

The Fire Dragon Palace was located in the canyon of Maple Mountain in the capital city.

This place used to be the territory of the Demon King Sect, which had been destroyed by Chu Xun. After the battle between Chu Xun and the old Demon King, Chu Xun disappeared, and everyone thought that he had died. The top official specially approved of Chu Xun’s personal belongings being buried in Maple Canyon.

However, Chu Xun appeared again later, and the place was thus left unused until the government and the Martial Tao World joined hands to establish the Fire Dragon Palace.

Because most members of the Fire Dragon Palace were from the Martial Tao World, the palace was built in an ancient style.

There were four squads in the Fire Dragon Palace, namely Flaming Fox, Astrology, Torrid Tempest, and Purple Phoenix.

The Palace Master used to be Gao Qingling, a Human King, but he died unexpectedly, causing the Fire Dragon Palace to be in chaos because of the struggle for power.

The Fire Dragon Palace had been established for only a short period of time, and it had many drawbacks. The Martial Tao World and the government had always been incompatible, so after Gao Qingling died, both sides tried to take the power.

This became a headache to the amiable old man. The government had no choice but to ask Chu Xun for help because it didn’t have many experts.

Of course, this was also Emperor Ao’s idea.

Among the four squads, only Purple Phoenix belonged to the government and was led by Azure Dragon and others. However, Azure Dragon’s cultivation was too low, and he had been suppressed by other squads in the Fire Dragon Palace. Fortunately, he had many powerful thermal weapons provided by the state, so other squads didn’t go too far. However, in the face of the interest, thermal weapons didn’t work any longer.

Originally, the four squads had agreed that the beasts they hunted would be shared equally. Half a month ago, the four squads went out and killed a mountain-sized white elephant. This white elephant’s cultivation was almost as high as that of those people who were only a step away from becoming Human Kings, and the four squads had paid a price to kill it.

Each part of the white elephant was valuable, and even its blood was full of energy elements, which were of great benefit to the warrior’s cultivation. Especially the elephant’s long tusks, they emitted white light and fierce aura and were very valuable.

During the hunting, Purple Phoenix contributed to it the most and should have been given a tusk. However, Astrology took the tusk for themselves, and it enraged Azure Dragon. He found the people of Astrology and argued with them. Later, they came to blows, and Azure Dragon got punched and almost died. If it were not for the sake of the state, the other party would have turned Azure Dragon into a mist of blood with one blow.

The leader of Astrology was named Yan Chong, a first-grade Human King.

After Long Ao arrived in the capital city, he directly came to fight Yan Chong with the Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror. After a hundred moves, Long Ao was seriously injured, and Yan Chong seized the Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror from him.

That was why Zhong Ren had called Chu Xun.

The Astrology squad was located at the east of the canyon. In the main hall, Long Ao’s breath was feeble, and his clothes were stained with blood.

Yan Chong played with the Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror in his hand, looking very pleased.

“What a good stuff!” he murmured.

A first-grade Human King could kill him easily with the help of the bronze mirror.

With this bronze mirror, no one of the four squads could be his match.

He thought that he was destined to be the Palace Master.

“Captain, what about this old guy?” An eighth-grade Grandmaster asked.

Yan Chong glanced at Long Ao, then looked away, and said, “He’s Azure Dragon’s master, so he probably works for the government. I didn’t expect there to be such a powerful person from the government. It seems that I’ve underestimated our state before.”

Yan Chong thought for a long time before adding, “Kill him.”

“But captain, he works for the state.” the eighth-grade Grandmaster was shocked.

“So what? The Fire Dragon Palace doesn’t work for the state. First, it was Azure Dragon that challenged us. Then, it was this old guy. If we don’t teach them a lesson, there will be endless nobodies coming to challenge us. So, let’s just kill him as a warning to others. Let others know that it’s easy to enter the gate of Astrology but hard to leave.”

The eighth-grade Grandmaster still felt it wrong to kill Long Ao. He said, “Captain, why don’t we lock him up first and see how the government will respond to this?”

Yan Chong frowned, then nodded, and said, “Then let’s lock him up first. We’ll deal with him after we finish what we’re doing.”

“Captain, you’re going to... ” The eighth-grade Grandmaster was very clever.

Yan Chong gave him a praising look and replied, “You’re right. Gao Qingling had died for half a year. It’s time for someone to take the position of Palace Master.”

“With this bronze mirror, you’ve become much stronger, captain. Now, no one in the other three squads can compete with you.”

Yan Chong laughed and said, “How could you still call me captain?”

The eighth-grade Grandmaster was stunned for a moment, then he bowed to him, and said in a flattering tone, “My lord.”

Yan Chong laughed out loud. He waved his hand and said, “Tell the other three squads to go to the Fire Dragon Hall. We have something to discuss there.”

The Fire Dragon Hall was the place where the people of the Fire Dragon Palace discussed important matters.

The eighth-grade Grandmaster bowed and left with an obsequious expression, to tell the other three squads about the news.

...

...

In the Fire Dragon Hall, Yan Chong had arrived for a while.

When the light at the door was blocked, Yan Chong turned back, only to see a beautiful young woman step in. She had a slim waist and tight butt, and every step she took would cause her breasts to shake. Seeing her, everyone began to drool.

“Captain Mei.” Yan Chong cupped his fists toward her.

The young woman was the leader of Flaming Fox, named Mei Zhitong. Because her husband died long ago, she got the title “Winsome Widow”.

She seemed to be weak, but no one dared to look down on her. She had almost reached the Human King Realm, and her martial skills of fire were fierce and violent.

If Yan Chong hadn’t got the bronze mirror, he wouldn’t dare to say that he could defeat her.

“Chief Yan, what the hell are you doing? Tell me quickly if there is anything important. Don’t delay my beauty rest. I started to have wrinkles recently.” Winsome Widow swayed her body as she went to sit down and complained.

Yan Chong gave her an apologetic smile and said, “Be patient, Captain Mei. Let’s talk about it when everyone’s here.”

Winsome Widow curled her lips and said nothing.

A while later, a burly man with a beard who was as huge as a small hill shouted before even stepping in, and his voice was as loud as thunder. “Chief Yan, what’s so important that you have to discuss it here?”

This man was the leader of Torrid Tempest, named Lei Bao.

Before Yan Chong could reply, Lei Bao immediately cheered up after seeing Winsome Widow and said to her, “You arrived ahead of me, beauty.”

As he spoke, he walked to sit down beside Winsome Widow. The red wooden chair creaked as he sat on it.

Yan Chong’s eyes were full of contempt. “You’re really a lascivious fat pig. I don’t know how someone like you made it to the Human King Realm.”

Winsome Widow was very beautiful and looked in her thirties. Her skin was snow-white and very tender, but she was actually more than a hundred years old.

However, in the Martial Tao World, a hundred-year-old Human King was like an ordinary person in his teens. After all, the higher one’s cultivation was, the longer one’s lifespan would be. If there was no accident, a Human King could live to more than 300 years old.

“Captain Lei, my last name is Mei.” Winsome Widow reminded him.

Lei Bao gave her a silly smile and scratched his head in an awkward manner.

Though Winsome Widow smiled at him, her heart was full of disdain. Those who could become Human Kings had to be very talented and clever.

Lei Bao seemed to be rude, silly, and honest, but in fact, he pretended to look like that just to deceive those who didn’t know him.

Mei Zhitong had lived for more than a hundred years and had seen all kinds of people, so Lei Bao’s tricks couldn’t deceive her.

“Old Yan, since everyone is here, just come straight to the point,” Lei Bao said in a muffled voice.

Yan Chong and Winsome Widow were stunned at the same time.

“Captain Lei, it looks that you have poor sight. The people of Purple Phoenix are yet to arrive, why did you say that everyone is here?” Winsome Widow said.

“Purple Phoenix?” Lei Bao said with a look of disdain, “they’re just a group of good-for-nothings. I can take them down with one hand if they don’t have thermal weapons.”

Lei Bao looked down on those who relied on external powers. He thought that a warrior should fight with his own strength instead of relying on external forces.

“Captain Lei, are you displeased with us Purple Phoenix?” a low tone of anger was heard.

A tall man stepped in; it was War Tiger. He was a fourth-grade Grandmaster and only second to Azure Dragon in terms of cultivation in Purple Phoenix. Compared to other squads, Purple Phoenix was really weak.

Seeing War Tiger, Lei Bao roared, “You good-for-nothing have no place to cut in while we’re talking. Get out! This is not the place where you can enter.”

As he spoke, lightning flashed around Lei Bao’s hands, making crackling sounds. It looked like he was going to attack.

“Captain Lei, Azure Dragon is injured. As the deputy captain of our squad, I’m here on his behalf. Is there anything wrong with that?” War Tiger clenched his fists, and his blood surged inside him under the suppressing force from Lei Bao, a Human King.

Lei Bao snorted and said coldly, “You’re just a mere Grandmaster. How dare you retort me? It seems I have to teach you a lesson to demonstrate my dignity.”

War Tiger was irritated and replied, “Both of us work for the state, is there any need for us to fight each other?”

Lei Bao was slightly stunned and laughed with a loud voice that made War Tiger feel suppressed in the chest. “Do you think you deserve to fight me? Don’t try to scare me in the name of the state. I can crush you as easily as crushing a bug, and no one can do anything to me.”

“Try to crush me then!” War Tiger growled.

Lei Bao sneered, and a palm-sized ball of lightning gathered inside his hands. A violent force spread over.

“Get ready,” War Tiger shouted.

Orderly footsteps were heard. About a hundred soldiers held thermal weapons in their hands, aiming at the Fire Dragon Hall.

“Do you think you can threaten me with these metal scraps?” Lei Bao asked disdainfully.

“Metal scraps?” War Tiger showed a cold smile and said in a mocking tone, “The weapons in their hands are the Pulse Thunder Guns of the enhanced version and could kill ninth-grade Grandmasters. They may not be able to kill Human Kings, but this one can.”

With War Tiger’s words, the soldiers stepped aside, revealing a Pulse Cannon.

” Let me introduce it to you, Captain Lei. This Pulse Cannon is newly developed, and is said to be able to kill Human Kings. Do you want to have a try?”

Lei Bao was furious. He stood up all of a sudden and glared at War Tiger, saying, “What Pulse Cannon? Don’t try to scare me.”

“Make your move, and you’ll know if I’m scaring you or not,” War Tiger said.

Lei Bao was surrounded by lightning, and his aura became violent, which was really terrifying.

“Captain Lei, Deputy Captain War Tiger, please calm down. We’re the members of the Fire Dragon Palace and will see each other frequently, so there is no need to come to blows for such a trifle.” Winsome Widow stood out and tried to let them make peace with each other.

“Yes, stay calm.” Yan Chong echoed.

What he wanted was a complete Fire Dragon Palace.

“Fine. For the sake of the two of you, I’ll spare this good-for-nothing this time.” Lei Bao snorted and his aura became less aggressive.

War Tiger curled his lips, walked aside to sit down, and stopped arguing with Lei Bao. Though it was said that this newly developed Pulse Cannon could kill Human Kings, no one had tested it before, so War Tiger was not confident in its power.
