Outside Qing Capital, a few men stood on the summit of a mountain.
“Whooosh!”
A human figure flashed; another person arrived at the scene. It was the West Wolf Hall Lord, Mo Sanshan.
“What’s the matter? Why such an urgent message?” Mo Sanshan asked with a frown.
“Hall Lord, look!” One of the men pointed toward the Qing Capital.
Over there—Zi Bufan and Zhu Hongyi were fighting to suppress a translucent gold dragon.
“A ley line dragon?” Mo Sanshan was shocked.
That man continued, “Yes, we were watching Tong An’an closely as per your command. The things we saw these past two days compelled us to notify you!” the man replied respectfully, “Somehow, Wang Ke was maintaining a good communication with the two Parlor Lords. We could only observe from afar because none of us dared to go closer. Next, the Golden Crow Sect’s Zhang Li’er arrived and was captured along with her juniors; they were imprisoned in the palace hall. But unfortunately, the building became part of the collateral damage during the battle with the golden dragon. I’m not sure how many of them survived!”
“Oh?” Mo Sanshan was a little surprised.
His subordinate recounted what he saw in detail.
Mo Sanshan’s face twitched as he listened.
“Wang Ke? He’s really…!” He was lost for words.
Wang Ke dug a hole for him last time in the Zhu Cultivation Town. Damn, now that Zhang Li’er came to beat Wang Ke up, he put up such a heroic display to save the beauty?He spewed more than two people’s worth of blood?Didn’t you say you didn’t like her?Why deceive an honest man like me?
“Hall Lord, what do you think…?” that subordinate asked curiously.
Mo Sanshan had a doubtful look as he said grimly, “I don’t know what the demonic sect is up to. They’re aiming for that ley line dragon? It’s not that easy to capture!”
“What should we do?”
“Are you sure that Zhang Li’er and her juniors were being kept in the palace hall over there? Most halls were crushed. Those inside are most likely dead…” said Mo Sanshan.
“Yes, we saw it with our own eyes!”
Mo Sanshan ordered coldly, “Okay. Sent this message to the Golden Crow Sect’s intel group and say that Zhang Li’er brought her juniors to chase Wang Ke and exact vengeance. Sadly they lost their lives in the Qing Capital!”
“Ah? Won’t this be too much of a twist?” that subordinate asked, feeling worried.
“We are only telling the truth. Humph, I was played by Wang Ke. This is how I’ll get back at him!” Mo Sanshan said.
“Understood!”
“What about Tong An’an?” Mo Sanshan asked.
“Tong An’an and his ten bald helpers have been hiding in that courtyard. They never came out!”
“That’s for sure. The Demon Sovereign is searching for him, so he’s unwilling to act in the open. I want you to keep a close watch on them; take note of all the demons that Tong An’an comes in contact with. I have a use for this information! Am I clear?” Mo Sanshan asked.
“Yes, Hall Lord!” his men replied.
“Hall Lord, are you trying to use Tong An’an to fish someone out?” a man asked curiously.
“That’s right. The demonic sect is also susceptible to infighting between their own factions! Tong An’an is extremely influential in the demonic circle; quite the cunning guy I might add! He usually doesn’t run into trouble. Just follow him!” Mo Sanshan explained.
“Doesn’t run into trouble? Why do I remember he was caught by Wang Ke twice?” one of the subordinates asked.
Mo Sanshan’s face turned black. Not only twice!I haven’t told you about the time he was caught in the Zhu Cultivation Town.
“That was just a freak coincidence. His cultivation is much more advanced than Wang Ke’s. The boy could only dream about capturing him next time they meet!” Mo Sanshan said with contempt.
“Hall… Hall Lord. Look, look!” One of his men pulled at Mo Sanshan and pointed to the Royal Palace.
They saw Wang Ke carrying a fat man on his shoulder as he entered the Royal Palace. The fat man was unconscious and his face was uncovered; they recognized him immediately.
“Tong An’an?” Mo Sanshan hissed between his teeth.
What’s wrong with him? Freaking hell! How is it that he always gets captured by Wang Ke?I was just praising you, but you keep slapping my face again and again! I’m still hoping you can help me identify the different factions within the demonic sect! What the hell are you doing?
Inside a courtyard in the capital—
The ten bald men also noticed Wang Ke carrying Tong An’an into the Royal Palace.
“I knew it, I knew it! Zhu Yan’s is suspicious!”
“He’s a mole set by Wang Ke! He was aiming to harm our Chapter Lord!”
“Our Chapter Lord fell into a trap again!”

The bald men felt conflicted, not daring to move; they could only wait patiently.
The battle inside the Royal Palace ended.
The gold dragon was sealed; a draconic pattern glowed brightly on Zhu Yan’s abdomen.
Zhu Hongyi had a conflicted look on his face.
“Zhu Yan has dragon Qi in him indeed! It’s only because of him that the gold dragon accepted the seal. It took a lot of effort!” Zi Bufan sighed in relief.
Zhu Yan slowly regained consciousness, most likely because of the dragon.
He noticed all the people surrounding him the moment he woke up.
“Ancestral uncle? You… I…?” Zhu Yan felt surprised.
“Don’t be nervous. Try to keep calm!” said Zhu Hongyi.
“Huh? Oh yeah, why am I topless? My belly! Ahh, what’s on my belly?” Zhu Yan cried out in shock.
He saw the gold dragon’s pattern moving slowly on his belly, which caused him great distress.
Zhu Hongyi warned, “I told you. Don’t be nervous. Do not stimulate the gold dragon sealed in your belly! Its emotions will be influenced by yours!”
“Gold dragon? That gold dragon? Inside my belly?” Zhu Yan cried out in fear.
“Rumble!”
He felt a strong fluttering inside his abdomen; the gold dragon was restless.
“I told you! Calm down and stop shouting. Frightening the gold dragon may lead it to self-detonate; you’ll be blown to pieces!” Zhu Hongyi warned grimly.
“What? Explosion?” Zhu Yan shivered in fear.
Zhu Hongyi continued, “Humph, who asked you to end up in the gold dragon’s mouth? I wanted to rescue you, but the dragon refused to let you go. We didn’t even need to do much; the gold dragon squeezed right into your belly on its own, so we took the opportunity to seal it.”
“I… I know nothing about it!” Zhu Yan was in horror.
“You don’t know? Why were you down there? The gold dragon wouldn’t have found you if you weren’t lurking underground! You ended up like this for being too close! You were right beneath us when we were suppressing the dragon; of course it would notice you!”
“Me? It’s all because of Wang Ke!” Zhu Yan poured out his grievance on his nemesis.
Why would I get caught if I wasn’t chasing after Wang Ke?
“Wang Ke?” Everyone was surprised.
“What has this got to do with Wang Ke?” Zhu Hongyi asked, puzzled.
Zhu Yan opened his mouth. How am I supposed to say it?My ancestral uncle has the Demon Sovereign’s order to capture Tong An’an, and I was working with Tong An’an to kill Wang Ke…There’s no way I can reveal this!
“Hmm? Who’s looking for me?” someone shouted from behind them.
Everyone turned around—they saw Wang Ke approaching with a fat man on his shoulder.
