Chapter 1072: Arrival in the Xuanhuang Great World

“What? The Red Fire Quantity Stone has been stolen?!“ Long Xiao, the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord, stood up abruptly, his face radiating authority without anger, scaring Dragon Fei, the fifth elder of the Golden Dragon clan, to the point of trembling.
The Yellow Dragon sat there, a cold glint in his eyes.
Long Hong and the other two exchanged glances.
Who could be so bold as to steal something from the Golden Dragon clan?!
“What’s going on?“ Long Xiao demanded, looking at Dragon Fei.
Dragon Fei trembled, not daring to hesitate, and quickly replied, “It’s Wu Zhong from the Wumen sect in the Xuanhuang Great World!“
“Wu Zhong from Wumen?!“ The Yellow Dragon and Long Xiao were stunned.
Wu Zhong—the top disciple of Wumen!
Back then, Wu Huang, whom the Yellow Dragon had killed in the Ancient Dragon Ruins, was his junior brother.
“That Wu Zhong has quite the audacity to steal something from my Golden Dragon clan!“ Long Xiao grew furious, golden light flashing in his eyes. “Wu Tian has oppressed me—does he really think I, Long Xiao, am afraid of him?!“
Wu Tian was the head of Wumen and the second strongest being at the Hunyuan He Dao realm in the Xuanhuang Great World, second only to the Xuanhuang Sacred Lord.
In Long Xiao’s view, Wu Zhong must have had Wu Tian’s permission to do this.
“We’ll go to Wumen right now and see if Wu Tian will hand over the Red Fire Quantity Stone!“ Long Xiao grew angrier the more he thought about it.
He had promised the Yellow Dragon that the stone would be delivered to the Golden Dragon clan’s headquarters in a few days, but now this had happened, leaving him feeling extremely ashamed.
“Wait!“ Just as Long Xiao stood up, the Yellow Dragon suddenly spoke.
Long Xiao was surprised.
The Yellow Dragon looked at the four of them and said, “We have no proof. If we go like this and Wu Tian denies it, what then? Besides, going through such trouble over a single Red Fire Quantity Stone will only make us a laughingstock, as if we’re overreacting!“
“Dare he?!“ Long Xiao glared angrily.
Yet, despite his words, he slowly sat back down.
“Then shall we give up on this matter?“ asked Long Hong, the White Dragon Sacred King.
The Yellow Dragon shook his head. “Of course not.“ After a pause, he added, “Since this matter started because of me, I’ll go to the Xuanhuang Great World myself!“
“You’re going alone?!“ Long Xiao shook his head. “No, Brother Yellow Dragon, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone!“
Long Hong and the others agreed, “Exactly.“
The Yellow Dragon smiled. “It’s fine. I’m not going there to debate the great truths with Wu Tian. I’ll hide my presence, find the Red Fire Quantity Stone, and return!“
Hearing this, the four of Long Xiao exchanged glances.
“That’s good,“ Long Xiao mused. “In that case, Brother Yellow Dragon, be careful of that old man from Xuanhuang.“
The Yellow Dragon nodded.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to investigate matters related to the Holy King of Hongmeng.
“Long Cheng, where is Long Fa Yi?” Suddenly, Huang Long thought of a question and turned to ask Prince Long Fei.
“Reporting to the Supreme Elder and the clan leader, after General Wu Zhong stole the Red Fire Quantitative Stone from us, we pursued them relentlessly. Just as we were about to reach the Xuanhuang Great World, a group of people appeared out of nowhere. Without saying a word, they attacked us. Then… then…” Long Fei said, sweating profusely.
“What happened after that?! Speak!” Long Xiao roared angrily.
Startled, Long Fei quickly replied, “After that, we scattered. Young Clan Leader Long Cheng and Elder Long Fa Yi, they… I… the clan leader, please spare our lives!”
At these words, Long Fei knelt on the ground, pressing his forehead against it.
“What? Scattered?! Does that mean Cheng and Long Fa Yi are missing?!” Long Xiao stood up abruptly again, his entire body radiating golden light.
“Clan leader, please spare our lives!” Long Fei kept kowtowing, his voice trembling.
“You!” Long Xiao raised his hand in anger.
“Enough, Brother Long Xiao. We can’t blame him entirely for this. The Red Fire Quantitative Stone was stolen, and then Long Cheng and Long Fa Yi disappeared—something is very strange about this,” Huang Long interjected to calm things down. “What’s most important now is to find Long Cheng and Long Fa Yi first.”
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Huang Long’s hand, and a golden glow enveloped Long Fei.
Under the golden light, images began to emerge from Long Fei’s mind. Eventually, they stopped on the scene where Long Cheng, Long Fei, and Long Fa Yi had found the Red Fire Quantitative Stone in the Red Fire Great World and were on their way back to the Wei Long Great World when they were attacked by Wu Zhong.
Long Cheng and the others pursued them, only to encounter a group of men in black robes—fifteen in total—who immediately attacked them.
In the end, Long Fei was trapped in a formation, while Long Cheng and Long Fa Yi disappeared. There was no doubt that they had been taken away by those men in black robes.
However, no matter how hard Huang Long and the others tried to figure it out, they couldn’t determine the true identity of those men in black robes. Seeing this, Huang Long and the others realized that the Mixuan Sage must have interfered with the fate.
In the end, they exchanged glances in silence and gave up on trying to figure it out.
“Can you tell what kind of cultivation techniques those men in black robes are using?” asked Dragon Hong, the Holy Lord of the White Dragon.
Long Xiao frowned. “It resembles the Netherworld Demon Sect to some extent, the Xuanhuang Martial School to another, and also the Central Heavenly Dao Art. But it most closely resembles the Red Fire Demon Art of the Red Fire Great World!”
Huang Long also frowned deeply.
“Who exactly is behind this? If I find out, I’ll turn their world upside down!” Dragon Yi, the Holy Lord of the Winged Dragon, said angrily.
“So what should we do now?” Dragon Su, the Holy King of the Wind Dragon, looked at Long Xiao and Huang Long.

Huang Long mused, “I’ll go to the Xuanhuang Great World to look for Long Cheng and the other person at the same time. But you should also have someone investigate whether forces like the Netherworld Demon Sect, Xuanhuang Martial Gate, Central Heavenly Daoism, and Red Flame Divine Sect are involved in this!”
Long Xiao nodded, “It’s the only way.”
Thus, the five of them left the Golden Dragon Holy Temple to investigate the matter separately.
After leaving the Golden Dragon Holy Temple, Huang Long didn’t return to the Huang Long Palace either. Instead, he left the Wei Long Great World directly and headed toward the Xuanhuang Great World.
It wasn’t long before Huang Long arrived in the Xuanhuang Great World.
Standing before it, he saw streams of Xuanhuang light rising straight up, forming a Xuanhuang light barrier in the universe that wrapped around the world layer by layer.
To Huang Long, these Xuanhuang light barriers were practically meaningless.
He instantly broke through them and entered the Xuanhuang Great World.
“Wu Zhong of the Martial Gate!” Huang Long stood high in the sky, his celestial light flashing. Above him, amidst the auspicious clouds, the Chaos Bell rotated nonstop, with the light of primordial stars piercing through countless spaces.
When the Hunyuan Sage calculated celestial mysteries, the higher the rank of the great dao artifacts he used, the faster and more accurate his calculations would be. Currently, Huang Long usually relied on the Chaos Bell for such calculations.
However, to his surprise, he couldn’t figure out Wu Zhong’s whereabouts.
Seeing this, Huang Long immediately realized it was Wu Tian’s interference at work.
“Wu Tian?!” A cold glint flashed in Huang Long’s eyes. Then he vanished in a flash and reappeared at the headquarters of the Martial Gate, Wu Peak.
This Wu Peak soared into the clouds, its width unknown—spanning tens of thousands of miles. It stood in the Xuanhuang Great World and even connected more than a dozen divine realms within it!
