Chapter 0151: Dying with Understanding
“Reagan is from the Church. Codd and his son Colliford are from the Dragon Speech Empire. Rob and his brother Robb are from Overseas Tianpeng Island!” Bog listed them one by one.
However, when he mentioned that Rob and Robb were from Overseas Tianpeng Island, Bog’s emotional reaction was somewhat abnormal, his tone filled with coldness.
Not only did Yellow Dragon notice this, but Nat and Gusta also perceived it.
Still, Yellow Dragon didn’t press Bog further.
“Reagan is from the Church! Codd and his son Colliford are from the Dragon Speech Empire!” A cold glint flashed in Yellow Dragon’s eyes.
He hadn’t expected these people to hide their identities so well.
Before joining, the Huang family must have investigated their backgrounds but found nothing. If it weren’t for Yellow Dragon ordering Bog to investigate further, Reagan and the others could have colluded with the Church and the dragons, posing a serious threat.
So, Colliford’s approach to the fourth sister must also have ulterior motives. Yellow Dragon glanced in the direction where Colliford and the fourth sister, Huang Yi, had left, his eyes flashing with coldness.
What did this kid want from his younger sister? The formula for the Soul Purifying Pill? Methods to craft magic swords and magic space rings?
“Overseas Tianpeng Island.” Then, Yellow Dragon thought of Rob and Robb.
The endless seas of the overseas sea contained countless islands. On these islands, there were various forces of different sizes. Just like the Hengyuan Continent with its hundreds of countries, these island forces were akin to those countries—though their overall strength couldn’t compare to that of the Hengyuan Continent’s nations.
Still, among the countless islands, there were many powerful forces. One of them was Dragon Island.
Besides Dragon Island, other powerful islands included Thunderflame Island, Phoenix Island, and Evil Eye Island. Among these four, Dragon Island was the strongest, while the other three were weaker.
Tianpeng Island was one of the forces under Thunderflame Island.
“Yes, young master. It seems Rob and Robb were sent by the lord of Thunderflame Mansion to infiltrate the Huang family. I believe their aim is to obtain the formula for the Soul Purifying Pill, methods to craft magic swords, and magic space rings,” Bog said gravely.
“I just didn’t expect Rob to risk his life trying to kill the young master for his son’s sake,” Bog continued.
“Young master, now that we know these scoundrels’ true nature, I, Gusta, shall go and cut off their heads right away,” Gusta couldn’t help but say, his face filled with hatred and anger.
With Gusta’s strength at the peak of the Holy Land realm, claiming he could cut off their heads wasn’t an exaggeration. Nat agreed as well.
Huang Long’s eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment before saying, “Then capture them.”
With the arrival of the Dragon Clan and the Church, keeping these people around would be a disaster. After all, Huang Long couldn’t protect his father Huang Xiong, his mother Zhao Rong, and the others at all times.
Moreover, Huang Long wasn’t afraid of startling them prematurely.
With his current magical power, he could easily use a higher-level technique than Soul Search to control their minds.
However, strong figures from the Sacred Realm like Reagan had formidable mental strength, so Huang Long’s control technique might not work on them. If that happened, he would have no choice but to kill them.
“Wait, bring them to my courtyard,” said Huang Long.
“Yes, young master,” replied Bog respectfully, seeing that Huang Long had made up his mind.
Huang Long entered the hall. There, besides Huang Xiong and Zhao Rong, were various servants of the Huang family. Everyone’s faces were filled with panic; they must have heard news of the approaching forces of the Dragon Clan and the Church.
Seeing their son arrive, Huang Wei and Zhao Rong stood up, their expressions anxious. “Longer, we heard about the alliance between the Dragon Clan and the Church.”
Huang Long smiled calmly. “I already know that.” He gave his parents a composed smile. “It’s just a lot of noise with little actual action. You don’t need to worry. I have a plan.”
Huang Wei and Zhao Rong were stunned. Though they always had confidence in their son, this situation was different from before. Could their son really resist the combined forces of the Dragon Clan and the Church?
“Longer, besides the Pope and the Dragon Emperor, there are fifty-eight more strong figures from the Sacred Realm coming this time,” said Huang Xiong urgently.
Fifty-eight figures from the Sacred Realm—plus the Pope and the Dragon Emperor—that made sixty.
Sixty strong figures from the Sacred Realm were enough to destroy any empire.
And that didn’t even include the Church’s knight order or the Dragon Language Empire’s army.
Just the existence of these sixty figures alone would intimidate any major faction.
Once this news spread, it was likely that the various families that had cooperated with the Huang family in recent days would withdraw, break ties with them, and even some of their guards might flee in panic.
The Dragon Clan and the Church had made their forces public, clearly aiming to isolate the Huang family—a fact Huang Long saw clearly.
But he didn’t care about it.
If some factions broke ties with the Huang family or even some of their guards defected, wouldn’t that be good for them?
Huang Long also wanted to use this as a test.
Only those who stayed by the Huang family’s side would truly be its allies.
As for those defected guards and some collateral descendants of the Huang family, the Yellow Dragon Society would make them regret their decisions.
Sixty Holy Lands? But after this battle, it’s uncertain whether they could even escape with ten. A cold glint flashed in Yellow Dragon’s eyes.
After this battle, perhaps the Dragon Clan and the Church would become more obedient. A cold smile appeared on Yellow Dragon’s lips.
“Dragon.” Seeing his son’s lack of reaction, Huang Xiong thought his son was scared by the news of sixty Holy Lands arriving.
Yellow Dragon returned to reality and, upon seeing this, smiled calmly, “I was just thinking. Father, leave the matters concerning the Dragon Clan and the Church to me. I’ll make them understand what true regret means!”
Huang Xiong and Zhao Rong exchanged glances. They hadn’t expected their son to remain so calm; did he really have a plan?
They thought of the Group of Immortals Pavilion—could it be that he planned to have everyone hide there? It would be safe, but they couldn’t hide forever. What about the Huang family’s foundation then?
Yellow Dragon knew what they were thinking but didn’t say much. After intimidating the attendants and managers in the Huang family hall to stabilize morale, he returned to the courtyard.
Back in the courtyard, Bogge brought in Regan, Codd, Culliford father and son, along with Rob and Roze.
Although puzzled, Regan and the others didn’t overthink it and bowed to Yellow Dragon.
After the lessons from the previous two days, Regan’s arrogance had diminished significantly. After bowing, he said with a smile, “I wonder why the second young master summoned us? Is it because of the Dragon Clan and the Church?”
On the surface, he seemed to have completely forgotten what had happened days earlier.
At that moment, Regan looked at Yellow Dragon with a calm expression, but inwardly he sneered, “Kid, you’ve come to your end too. When the Church’s army arrives, I’ll deal with you properly!”
He even imagined capturing Huang Xiong and the others to threaten Yellow Dragon, forcing him to beg for mercy and lick his toes—fantasizing as much as possible.
However, Yellow Dragon used his mental perception to see clearly what this guy was thinking and sneered, “Pretty nice idea—having me lick your toes?”
Caught off guard by Yellow Dragon’s words, Regan froze. Seeing the look in Yellow Dragon’s eyes as if he had seen through his thoughts, he broke into a cold sweat, his expression panicked. “I don’t know what the second young master is talking about. What toes?”
Even the Supreme God couldn’t know others’ thoughts, so Regan naturally didn’t believe that the other party had just figured out what he was thinking.
Kode and the others also frowned, staring at the Yellow Dragon in confusion.
“The Dragon Clan and the Church have come, and you’re taking pleasure in this, right? Thinking of capturing my family to threaten me and force me to kneel before you!” As he spoke, the Yellow Dragon’s gaze grew sharper, his aura intensifying, each word striking Reagan’s heart like a hammer.
“No, that’s not true, it’s impossible!” Reagan’s face turned pale.
What the Yellow Dragon said was exactly what he had been thinking just now. No, how could it be?! He couldn’t possibly know—it must be a guess, yes, just a guess.
After initial panic, Reagan spoke in a tone of feigned bravado: “Yellow Dragon, this is clearly slander! Because I was disrespectful to you a few days ago, now you’re trying to find an excuse to get rid of me.” With that, Reagan burst into laughter. “I never thought you, Yellow Dragon, would be such a despicable person!”
At that moment, Borg and the others’ expressions changed, and they stepped forward to teach Reagan a lesson. The Yellow Dragon raised his hand and sneered at Reagan, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you die knowing why!” With that, he formed a spell with his hands.
“Void Barrier!”
The spatial airflow fluctuated, and in an instant, it was drawn away. Then, the space around Reagan froze, and he was horrified to find he couldn’t move. What was happening? The absolute space of a divine realm’s powerhouse?
“Mind Confusion Illusion!”
Suddenly, the Yellow Dragon’s eyes emitted a strange glow. Reagan felt a shock in his mind and lost consciousness.
But Kode and the others were astonished to see Reagan suddenly start screaming like a madman: “Yellow Dragon, when the army led by the Pope arrives, I’ll capture your family. Then, I’ll make you kneel and beg for mercy! Make you lick my toes!” With that, Reagan laughed hysterically, his face twisted in rage as he vented his fury without caring who was around.
Kode and the others exchanged glances, secretly amazed by the Yellow Dragon’s tactics.
They knew that some powerful beings who studied souls could control them and make them do whatever they wanted, but they had never heard of someone being able to make them express all their thoughts.
After a while, Reagan stopped. Feeling exhausted from fighting against a peer, he noticed Kode and the others staring at him strangely. Realizing something was wrong, he turned to the Yellow Dragon and asked, “Yellow Dragon, what did you do to me just now?”
But as soon as he finished speaking, countless sword energies shot out from his body.
The space twisted, and invisible swords appeared. The Yellow Dragon waved his right hand, and the invisible swords disappeared back into space, filling Kode and the others with terror.
“I originally wanted to make sure you died knowing why, but it seems unnecessary now,” Huang Long said coldly. Then, Reagan’s eyes widened as he collapsed.
