--- Chapter 25 ---
In the destroyed courtyard of Wind Blade Sect, Yu Long and Hong Guan hugged each other. After seemingly evolving into a dragon, the now crimson-haired beauty carries a scent she used not to have.
This scent caused the hormone inside Yu Long's teenage body to get riled up.
Hong Guan's soft D-Cup chest pressed against Yu Long, making him breathe excitedly. His arms were 'currently' wrapped around her, but 'mere' centimeters down, he could discern a peach-like shape.
'It's not that I didn't notice her...' Yu Long stared at Hong Guan's dreamy facial features. She looks very peaceful, leaning on his chest despite their height difference.
'Romance, huh?'
'Maybe I should start thinking about it too.' Yu Long knew he had six years before the plot of the world started. However, he might have to enjoy his life more.
After all, reincarnation means starting over, no?
Yu Long saw Lily and used sound transmission, 'Clean up the field. I'll handle her for a moment.'
'Hehe, okie, dokie~!' Lily saluted with a playful smile on her face.
'Young master, don't you think Hong Guan is such a lovely lady?'
The question was left unanswered for a while before Yu Long sent the reply.
'She is.'
Several hundred meters away, Lily giggled when hearing his reply and ordered the Shadow Phantoms to 'make sure' the area around the Wind Blade Sect was clean.
They have captured every disciple and killed higher-ups inside the Wind Blade Sect. After some processing, they'd be absorbed into the Shadow Realm and returned to the Wind Blade Sect as a reserved unit.
Cloud Palm Sect will also receive the same treatment, but not a whole transformation. This palm-focused sect is more open than the Wind Blade Sect, which is 'literally' surrounded by mountains and only one ground route.
Hong Guan slowly fell asleep inside Yu Long's embrace, probably due to the excessive consumption of her profound incarnation.
Yu Long laid the crimson-haired beauty down on the ground and stared at her respectfully. After the brief observation, he covered her in a warm fur coat.
"Good job, Hong Guan." He praised her.
The woman in question instinctively smiled and entered a pleasant dream world.
Yu Long glanced at the charred crater and shook his head bitterly. "It was good that her profound incarnation didn't fully destroy Mu Lei from existence."
With a wave of his hand, the 'essence' left behind from Mu Lei's remains floated out from the ground and turned into a red-colored sphere.
"Let's see what secret you have." Yu Long stared at the hovering essence sphere and brought it to his mouth, swallowing it.
Years worth of memories drowned Yu Long's head, but no matter what, these second-hand experiences won't change him.
[Kaiju Maker] already optimized his state of mind, making it insusceptible to corruption. Unless there is a higher force than [Kaiju Maker], Yu Long has never encountered one in his previous or current life.
Yu Long digested Mu Lei's memory and left with a horrible aftertaste a few minutes later. "That old bastard lives long enough to mess with many people..." He rubbed his forehead.
However, at the same time, Yu Long also obtained precious intel.
All the things he needed to confront Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress were inside Mu Lei's memory. So, something like the sect's force, financial status, connection, and secrets are wide open for him.
"Hehe... Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress, you guys are fucked!" Yu Long grinned like a madman.
Yu Long breathed in, containing his excitement.
No, he can't just destroy them.
He must humiliate them, bringing them to the most despairing moment possible. By doing so, Yu Long would be satisfied after they took his teacher's life.
Yu Long glanced at the sleeping Hong Guan, "Please be patient..."
"After stripping everything from the damned Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress, I'll let you do anything..."
"And I mean it."
...
A few weeks later.
The Wind Blade Sect, Cloud Palm Sect, and the business clans were 'completely' reformed by Yu Long.
Yu Clan avoided the crisis by eliminating their competitor but keeping them close enough to be dummies after replacing their person-in-commands with Shadow Agents.
No one would notice the monopoly in Blue North County anymore. Even if someone did, Yu Long's Shadow Realm would catch the spark and deal with it silently.
On top of that, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress won't suspect a thing because of Mu Lei's greediness.
You see, before going to the Wind Blade Sect and proceeding to get killed by Hong Guan, Mu Lei applied for a leave for a few years to break through!
It was so convenient but also understandable.
Mu Lei probably planned to monopolize the entire Blue North County without the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress knowing. After he became strong enough, no one could stop him.
Unfortunately, Mu Lei's plan backfired when he tried to touch Yu Clan and its possession! It doesn't matter if Mu Lei didn't claw his hand directly into the scheme. Yu Long won't leave him be. And now the 4th Elder of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is dead.
Yu Long would definitely use Mu Lei's status plentily in the future.
Why would he infiltrate the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress from the front door when he could do the same from the back door with a special privilege called connection?
At this point, Yu Long truly started his journey as a young master.
Right now, in Drifting Cloud Mountain Range.
Yu Long and Hong Guan faced each other.
They summoned their profound incarnations and stared at each other menacingly.
A muscular humanoid and a massive dragon standoff with electricity flying everywhere, and their ethereal bodies released intense heat.
The profound incarnations changed the surroundings into a literal world of fire, melting the ground and heating the atmosphere. Thunderclouds appeared shortly after.
"Ready?" Yu Long said, smiling at the crimson-haired beauty in a white martial robe.
"Ready!" Hong Guan let out a smile.
BOOM!
Yu Long and Hong Guan disappeared from their position. An explosion occurred several meters away as they clashed mid-air, crossing their arms in contact.
Hong Guan's profound incarnation opened its mouth and spewed a fire breath. Yu Long's incarnation countered it by punching a vacuum open.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Hong Guan sent three consecutive punches.
Yu Long shook his head rhythmically and dodged everything, landing his kick on her knee.
Hong Guan frowned and grabbed Yu Long's clothes, slamming him to the ground.
Crack!
Yu Long crashed to the ground and watched Hong Guan pointing her palm at him.
"Rose!"
Flower petals descended from the sky, swirling rapidly.
Yu Long could disperse this attack by breaking its profound patterns but decided not to. It wouldn't be fun if he did so.
A smirk appeared on Yu Long's handsome face as he opened his palm and summoned a large amount of water.
Aspect applied, turning the water into a life-like creature.
ROAR!
An eastern water dragon erupted and climbed to the sky with its teeth-filled mouth open. Its serpentine body is 'thoroughly' covered with a scale-like pattern.
If Yu Long waved a hand sign, It was clear where he got this technique referenced from.
Hong Guan pursed her lips, "Well, this is unfair..."
BOOM!
The water dragon crashed into her.
Hong Guan's profound incarnation wrapped her body, shielding her from any incoming attack.
Unfortunately for her, Yu Long wouldn't do a second attack.
Swoosh!
The water dragon bit Hong Guan's profound incarnation by the neck and turned it into ice.
The temperature dropped drastically, making the crimson-haired lady freeze in discomfort. It's not just Hong Guan's profound incarnation that was frozen.
Even her profound strength was 'directly' frozen.
As Hong Guan fell from the sky, Yu Long jumped and caught her, "Hehe, I believe this is my win."
Hong Guan encircled her slender arms around Yu Long's neck and replied helplessly, "I would have never thought you could use Ice Element, young master."
"My profound incarnation didn't stand a chance."
"That's where you are wrong. I altered the profound patterns of [Water Dragon Aspect] and added new input, triggering its transformation as a freezing attack." Yu Long laughed heartily.
"I don't have any ice-based technique so far."
"Only Frozen Cloud Asgard has them."
"Frozen Cloud Asgard..." Hong Guan mumbled softly. "The sect that only has female members and focused on celibacy."
"A bad place..."
'Love is a wonderful thing.' The crimson-haired lady added in her mind, nuzzling her face to Yu Long's neck.
Yu Long shook his head, "Frozen Cloud Asgard is indeed a horrible place to become cultivators, but there must be a reason."
"As for the reasons... Why don't we send Shadow Agents there?"
Hong Guan blinked her eyes and understood Yu Long's intention, "Young master, you're so bad."
"Aren't me and Lily enough? I don't think you need more maids..."
"What are you thinking? I'm an honest and innocent young man!" Yu Long denied with a straight face.
Hong Guan giggled, "I'm just joking."
"I don't mind you having more maids(women) on your side."
"Just remember to put me in your heart first~!" She winked, playfully rubbing her finger on his chest.
"I will. No one can replace my Dear Guan." Yu Long winked back, catching her off guard.
Hong Guan blushed hard as she never thought Yu Long would reply in such a way. Her heart throbbed in excitement.
Meanwhile, Yu Long took a deep breath internally.
God damn, Hong Guan became flirty all of a sudden!
Those dragon's bloodlines make her bolder.
Thankfully, Yu Long has memories of his past life. He was confident with his counter technique.
Yu Long faked a cough, "Ehem. Let's return to the Yu Clan."
"We cannot miss breakfast, or mother will nag me."
