Chapter 235 - Fire Dragon Palace! (1/2)

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.
