Chapter 437: Chapter 191: Hundred Colors

Threading through the jungle, Cain, with the help of the Magic Potion, had managed to recover somewhat. Although he could walk, it was obviously not as comfortable as being carried on Lu Hong’s back.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Cut the crap. Are you saying that the three saints from the Cairo family were the ones attacking you just now?"

"Yes," said Cain, gradually becoming angry. "West deceived me; he lured me here to serve as nourishment for the dragon soul, and the Divine Soul of that real dragon is still resurrecting. We must stop it!"

"How do you stop it?" Lu Hong curled his lip. "According to the story you told, this ancient true dragon has at least the power of a Heavenly God. Are you going to fight it yourself?"

Having witnessed the horror of the dragon soul, Cain fell silent. Yes, it seemed he couldn’t defeat the real dragon. "Can we only stand by and watch it resurrect? What about the residents of Dragon Light?"

"If it comes down to it, we’ll just give up. The space magic array has been destroyed by me. Although the planar lockdown of Dragon Light is not completely lifted yet, there are already loopholes. We just need to take the inhabitants of Dragon Light out, whether it resurrects or not."

"But, if this resurrected real dragon continues to cause turmoil in Star Sea, which plane can then contend with it?" What Cain said also made sense.

"So, what do we do? You think slowly." Lu Hong focused his mind on fleeing. He had used a lot of energy, and Cain was also half-crippled. If they encountered any powerful member of the Cairo family, the probability of them biting the dust was still very high.

Following the original path back, Lu Hong returned to the headquarters of the Black Guard, hidden at the bottom of the lake.

"Master?!" Hearing of Lu Hong’s return, Lina hurried to the cave entrance, but was surprised to see her unconscious master and quickly asked Lu Hong, "What happened to my master?"

Lu Hong set Cain down, leaning against the stone wall. "Nothing serious; this old bastard bashed me up pretty good before and then got his comeuppance. It’s just that I was the bigger person and didn’t hold a grudge, offering a helping hand to save him and bring him back."

"Ah!" Lina covered her mouth, her face full of gratitude. "Thank you so much."

"Don’t thank him!" Cain might not have been truly asleep, or perhaps the conversation woke him. He said irritably, "What do you mean ’got his comeuppance’?"

"You better talk less. No matter how we’re going to handle the matter of the dragon soul, you need to be recovered. Right now, you’re the highest combat power in Dragon Light."

Upon hearing Lu Hong’s words, Lina looked puzzled. "What on earth happened?"

"Your master here is a fool; he got sold out yet was keeping watch and standing guard for others. I tried to talk to him out of good will, and he beat me to a pulp. Look, some of my ribs still haven’t healed," Lu Hong pointed at his chest and continued, "I told him about the Cairo family’s massacre, and he ran back to confront the three saints on the mountain top. But, well, he fell for their trick and was nearly killed. Fortunately, I had the foresight to sneak back, and that’s how I managed to save him."

Cain didn’t argue; what Lu Hong said was essentially true, though it still sounded damned frustrating.

At that moment, the Black Guard at the cave entrance made way for someone. A woman in purple robes approached with crisp steps.

Lu Hong turned his head to look, his exquisite face revealing a hint of charm.

"The person in charge of the Dragon Light Black Guard, Baise, greets Baron Lu Hong."

"So, you’re Baise? Truly as the name suggests," Lu Hong couldn’t help but nod. He had previously rushed over with Lina when Baise was out on a mission. Seeing her today indeed confirmed what the Black Guards had casually mentioned: The boss was a very beautiful woman.

Receiving Lu Hong’s appreciation, Baise was clearly very happy. "Thank you for the kind words, Baron Lu Hong."

Then, turning to Cain who leaned against the wall, she said, "This must be the Flag Bearer, Lord Cain, right?"

"We’ve corresponded through letters." Seeing the woman who looked even more beautiful than his own disciple, Cain seemed a bit displeased, his tone harsh.

"Someone, Baron Cain is seriously injured, take him for treatment," Baire declared indifferently toward the top warrior. When a letter previously smashed into the secret point of the Black Guards, she had to rush around, leading people to search for Lina’s whereabouts, not knowing how many resources and manpower were spent, and now without even a word of thanks, Baire decided to ignore him; it’s still Baron who seems more likable.

"Baron, let’s talk inside,"

Baire respectfully invited Lu Hong inside. Although it was said to be a small cave beneath the lake, in truth, the interior was a world of its own.

The capability of the Keiro dark force was not small, therefore, for the Black Guards to want to root themselves in this soil, they must hide even deeper.

This cave, expanded by the Black Guards over the years, has many branching tunnels, not only capable of providing for a thousand people to live normally but also has a full range of facilities for food, drink, and entertainment.

As Lu Hong toured the place: "It seems that Baire is someone who loves life as well," he had never seen these things in a Black Guard’s lair before.

"My lord is too kind," Baire explained, "We Black Guards live with our heads tied to our waists; we must have a way to vent. Plus, there are countless dark factions within Dragon’s Tale, and Wisteria knows of our existence, the investigation against us has never stopped. Sometimes we need to hide at the bottom of the lake for months, even a year. Seeing everyone’s despair, I became determined to construct these recreational facilities."

"That’s a good thing, caring for subordinates," Lu Hong expressed approval, and they both entered the deepest chamber.

This was Baire’s office and living area, filled with a great deal of information about Dragon’s Tale.

As Lu Hong wanted to take out one of the documents to read, Baire quickly stopped him: "My lord, please don’t touch, these documents have been enchanted by me. If touched, they will instantly incinerate. If you wish to read them, allow me to first remove the skills attached."

"That troublesome? Never mind then," Lu Hong wasn’t concerned with these, he retracted his curiosity and sat opposite Baire: "Let’s talk about the important things."

Seeing Lu Hong’s tone become more serious, Baire also restrained her smile, "Please speak, my lord."

And so, Lu Hong laid out all the information he had gathered from Cain, causing Baire’s brows to furrow deeply.

"Regarding the legend of Dragon’s Tale, we have also investigated, but the Keiro family also has scarce records on it. I didn’t expect it to be true."

"Now that the Dragon Soul has awakened, what do you think we should do?" As the other party had operated in Dragon’s Tale for many years, Lu Hong felt her suggestion would be more useful than anyone’s.

"Baron, is the imperial army still around Dragon’s Tale?"

"Yes," Lu Hong nodded, "Xie’an led a hundred thousand men into Dragon’s Tale, they are now hiding with the Passa family, the rest of the three hundred thousand army is stationed on the Star Sea plane outside the Dragon’s Tale."

"The revival of the Dragon Soul is a significant event; as you said before, arranging for the residents of Dragon’s Tale to evacuate is the highest priority. However, the Keiro family likely will not allow us to have our way and will try their utmost to stop us. Moreover, since they began the War of Soaring Clouds, their aggressive actions won’t stop," pondered Baire: "The urgent task now is to establish contact with General Xie’an. Since you have destroyed the plane’s sealing array, we can completely combine our efforts inside and outside, and establish a spatial transportation channel with the Star Sea plane to evacuate the people."

At this point, Lu Hong suddenly asked, "Is the head of the Passa family trustworthy?"

Baire shook her head slightly: "I am not certain, although the Passa family is still providing intelligence to the empire, their line is a dark thread of the Military Department and doesn’t have much to do with us. Moreover, according to our investigations, this Bo Heng seems a bit problematic."

"Explain in detail," Lu Hong listened attentively, for if Bo Heng was problematic, Xie’an, who was hiding with the Passa family, needed to be warned to leave as soon as possible.

"Well..." Baire pondered for a moment: "I can’t say for sure, but what he does is peculiar. Sometimes he executes the political decisions of the Keiro family with determination, yet in very special cases, he voices opposition. In short, saying he and the Keiro family wear the same pants doesn’t quite fit, yet if they didn’t have some private relationship, it also doesn’t seem right."

"Maybe..." Lu Hong ventured a guess based on his intuition, "Bo Heng also knows the secret of Dragon’s Tale but has chosen to oppose the Keiros, or perhaps there was a disagreement over the method of reviving the real dragon."

Baire’s reaction was immediate: "What the Lord says could indeed be possible. In earlier years when the Keiro family proposed to sweep away those lower clans of Dragon’s Tale and only leave behind the three big families, Xiao Ke chose to agree, while the Passa family firmly opposed. They argued that their family once was also weak, but grew strong, hence every family’s existence has its rightful place and should not be brutally extinguished. Furthermore, every political decision involving bloody warfare by the Keiro family would be met with resolute resistance by the Passa family, but for other politics, Bo Heng was indifferent."

As Baire spoke, she activated her magic power, touching a stack of documents to reveal records about the tripartite politics of Dragon’s Tale to Lu Hong.

Indeed, it appears Bo Heng is hiding some unspeakable secrets!
