Chapter 22: The Tyrant Dragon Sect

As soon as Long Huwei returned, he immediately asked about the situation of his eldest senior brother, Long Zhan Tian.
“Uncle, our master is still in seclusion. But I believe he will emerge soon,” Long Hai replied happily.
Long Huwei naturally wanted to find out who was framing him from behind, so he asked directly about Long Zhan Tian’s condition. Hearing Long Hai’s words, he felt relieved.
Now that he had returned to the Tyrant Dragon Sect, Long Huwei no longer had to worry about his safety.
“Nephew, take me to the Sect Affairs Office now. I want to show these good friends around our Tyrant Dragon Planet,” Long Huwei said with a smile.
Actually, near the Sect Affairs Office was Fulong Mountain, where Long Bata Tian practiced. Long Huwei also intended to visit Fulong Mountain, but he didn’t feel right bringing it up at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Long Hai glanced at Qu Yi and the others and realized that Long Huwei truly wanted to befriend them sincerely. A warm smile appeared on his face.
“Uncle, I’ll lead the way,” Long Hai said.
Then, Long Hai led Long Huwei and the others to the Longyun Courtyard in the Sect Affairs Office, the place where all disciples had to report back when returning to the Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Along the way, Qu Yi kept smiling while secretly listening to the messages transmitted by the Divine Instrument’s immortal consciousness.
“Qu Yi, the original spiritual veins of the Tyrant Dragon Sect are underground in this Sect Affairs Office. Disciples of the martial academy can enter these veins and comprehend the primal energy of the five elements if they earn enough points.”
“Qu Yi, the atmosphere in the Tyrant Dragon Sect is now divided into two factions—one supports Long Zhan Tian, and the other supports Zhuang Guangming.”
“Qu Yi, I’ve sensed Long Bata Tian. His aura is weakening slowly; he’s been poisoned and won’t last much longer.”
The Divine Instrument’s immortal consciousness, which covered the entire Sun Continent, had already shared all its discoveries with Qu Yi.
When Qu Yi heard that Long Bata Tian was about to die, he suddenly stopped in his tracks with a gasp.
“Brother Qu Yi, what’s wrong?” Long Huwei immediately stopped and asked anxiously.
Everyone else also looked at Qu Yi.
“Oh, nothing. I just thought of something. It’s fine, let’s keep walking,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
At this moment, Qu Yi decided not to reveal anything about Long Bata Tian’s situation for now.

Once spoken, the entire Baolong Sect would immediately fall into chaos. Long Zhan Tian had not yet reached the level of a higher-tier Earth Soul Demon and thus did not qualify to compete with Zhuang Guangming for the position of sect leader. At that time, no one would protect Long Hu Wei, and he and the others would face immense pressure.

Now, they still needed to take advantage of Long Batai Tian’s influence!

Before long, Long Hai Zhen led everyone to Longyun Academy. It was bustling with people there.

Long Hu Wei, along with four members of the Huwei Adventure Group, went inside Longyun Academy to register their information before coming out and reuniting with Qu Yi, Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Tu Zun, and the others.

“Brother Qu Yi, we’ve registered. No one will dare assassinate me in the Baolong Sect anymore,” Long Hu Wei said with a smile.

Since their identities were registered, attempting to assassinate Long Hu Wei would mean insulting the Baolong Sect, and they would naturally face severe retaliation.

Qu Yi looked at Long Hu Wei calmly, hesitating for a moment before pulling him aside and gazing at him seriously.

Long Hu Wei’s heart skipped a beat.

“Brother Hu Wei, I have bad news for you… Your father is in trouble. Someone has infiltrated his seclusion place with a kind of Asura Subduing Demon energy,” Qu Yi transmitted through his spiritual sense.

Qu Yi had already decided that since he had accepted Long Hu Wei as a brother, he could no longer use him. As Long Hu Wei’s father, who was also his own father, if the father was framed, he had to tell the truth.

“What!”

Long Hu Wei suddenly exclaimed, his voice filled with surprise and concern. He quickly realized the gazes of those around him and stopped speaking.

“Leader, what’s wrong?” the other four members asked urgently.

Long Hu Wei forced a smile and reassured them, “Oh, nothing. I just remembered something.”

After that, Long Hu Wei didn’t say much more. The others naturally didn’t dare ask further, but they all knew that Long Hu Wei’s surprised expression must be related to Qu Yi.

Sure enough, Long Hu Wei immediately grabbed Qu Yi’s hand and anxiously led him under a large tree. The others wisely didn’t follow.

“Brother Qu Yi, how did you get this news?” Long Hu Wei asked through his demonic sense, his voice tense.

Although Long Hu Wei knew Qu Yi had many secrets, he still found it hard to believe that Qu Yi could break through the array restrictions of a higher-tier Earth Soul Demon’s seclusion place and discover what was inside.

Qu Yi gave Long Hu Wei a troubled look, then sent a message through his spiritual sense: “Brother Hu Wei, I can’t tell you how I know about your father’s situation. It’s my secret. Now, Brother Long Hu, go find an elder of the Baolong Sect and ask him to take you to where your father is in seclusion. Then you’ll naturally be able to find out about him, and he should also tell you the truth.”

Qu Yi wouldn’t reveal the secrets of the Inch Realm Ball and the Artifact God to anyone, not even Long Hu Wei, as they were his greatest secrets. Some secrets should remain known only to oneself.

Upon hearing this, Long Hu Wei nodded immediately and sent a message through his demonic sense: “Brother Qu Yi, thank you for telling me this. Now, I need to part ways with you. I’m going to ask Elder Long Zhi to take me to where my father is in seclusion.”

Qu Yi nodded in understanding. Then, Long Hu Wei bowed to him and left with the four members of the Hu Wei Adventurers Group, heading in another direction.

Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Tu Zun, Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong approached Qu Yi and watched quietly. Qu Yi calmly looked at Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong, a smile suddenly appearing on his lips, as if he had already made up his mind.

Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong immediately felt an ominous sense, an unease that showed on their faces as they stared at Qu Yi in panic.

“Let’s all go to an inn to rest for a while,” Qu Yi said suddenly with a smile.

Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun understood Qu Yi’s intention and followed him without saying a word. Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong, after some hesitation, also followed him.

Although they were now on Diyou Star, the territory of the Baolong Sect, the three still didn’t dare to leave Qu Yi unattended and had to follow obediently.

Soon, Qu Yi and the seven of them entered a “Golden Armor Inn.” Qu Yi then asked Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong to come to his room.

The room had a sound-suppressing barrier, so no one outside could hear what happened inside.

When Qu Yi saw the three enter, he said with a smile, “Alright, you three don’t need to act outside anymore.”

Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong’s expressions changed instantly, and they tried to rush out the door. But as soon as they tried to move, they collapsed unconscious, as if controlled by someone else. Their bodies hit the ground with a thud, their noses crushed.

Qu Yi had simply used his mind to activate the soul marks in the souls of the three, controlling them.

Soul storage technique proved useful at this moment. Soon, Qu Yi enclosed the three people’s bodies within the Dimension Ball. Then, Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun entered the room with smiles on their faces.
“Lord, shall we head to the primal spirit vein of the Tyrant Dragon Sect?” Jin Zun asked with a faint smile.
Qu Yi nodded and said, “It seems that Long Batian’s life is coming to an end. If Long Zhan Tian fails to make any breakthroughs in his cultivation, Zhuang Guangming is likely to take over as the sect leader. That would lead to a purge within the Tyrant Dragon Sect. Even if Long Zhan Tian manages to advance to the rank of Upper Earth Soul Demon, a fierce battle between the two sides will ensue, creating chaos. Therefore, we must take action to help Long Hu Wei and Long Zhan Tian.”
Having a primal spirit vein is crucial for a powerful Earth Soul Demon to advance to that rank. Although Qu Yi already controlled the primal spirit vein of theSect Sect, he had no objection to taking control of that of the Tyrant Dragon Sect as well for future use.
Many cultivators in the Tyrant Dragon Sect had already realized that a struggle was imminent. Qu Yi naturally supported Long Hu Wei’s side, so it was important for him to seize control of the sect’s most vital asset—the primal spirit vein first.
Qu Yi already had experience dealing with primal spirit veins.
Soon, Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun also entered the Dimension Ball. Qu Yi himself took the Dimension Ball to a secluded area in the Sect Affairs Hall before entering it as well.
“Senior Sister Qiu Ying, we’ve accumulated enough trial points. This time, by entering the primal spirit vein, we should be able to advance to the rank of One-Star Earth Soul Demon.”
Not long after Qu Yi disappeared, two disciples from the Tyrant Dragon Sect flew over. One of them, who had a delicate appearance, said joyfully,
“As long as I enter the primal spirit vein, I’m confident I can advance to the rank of One-Star Earth Soul Demon. Then I’ll be able to join the inner circle of disciples and access more cultivation resources,” said the disciple named Qiu Ying, full of confidence.
The two flew through the air. The Dimension Ball turned into dust and fell onto Qiu Ying, accompanying her.
The entrance to the Tyrant Dragon Sect’s primal spirit vein was located in a grand hall within the Sect Affairs Hall—the Hall of Heroes. By now, Qiu Ying, who had accumulated enough trial points, joined all the disciples who wanted to cultivate inside the primal spirit vein and entered the Hall of Heroes one after another.
Inside the hall, there was a wall where the entrance to the primal spirit vein lay. One after another, the disciples of the Tyrant Dragon Sect deducted their task points and flew into the primal spirit vein cave.

The Inch Realm Ball, following Qiu Ying, quickly entered the Origin Spirit Vein Cave. This Origin Spirit Vein of the Tyrannosaurus Sect was roughly similar to that of the Frosty Sect. Array formations were installed on the cave walls to suppress threats, and a faint yellow light illuminated the entire cave. The deeper one went, the louder the wind became and the stronger it grew. As soon as the Inch Realm Ball entered the Origin Spirit Vein Cave, it fell into the hands of a disciple with the cultivation level of a Six-Star Earth Soul Demon. A disciple at this cultivation level could reach the deepest parts of the Gale Zone.
