Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 334: Successful Escape!
BANG!
Dong Xuan’s head burst open like a watermelon! Blood splattered everywhere—a gruesome mix of red and white. The scene was utterly gory and horrifying.
"No!"
"Brother Dong!"
Long Chen, who had just witnessed this, felt a sharp pang of grief. He had desperately wanted to go out and help Dong Xuan. Unfortunately, upon entering the spatial passage, a powerful suction force held him fast, making it impossible to escape. Moreover, the passage was closing rapidly.
Seeing this, Yue Wuhen shot toward Long Chen’s position at his fastest speed. Regrettably, the passage had already sealed shut just as he arrived.
"Damn it!" Yue Wuhen raged.
"Despicable!" one of the elders roared. "To think that guy managed to escape!"
Both elders were seething with rage, filled with regret over the loss. The disciples of Xuanyue Valley also wore expressions of utter shock. No one had expected it. Under these circumstances, Long Chen should have been an ant they could crush at any moment. How had he managed to escape right from under their noses?
Watching Long Chen escape right before their eyes—and with their Valley Master’s spatial teleportation box, no less—was enough to make them explode with rage.
Yue Wuhen’s voice was glacial as he commanded the disciples present. "Search! Leave some disciples to handle affairs within the valley. Everyone else, get out there and search for him! That spatial teleportation can instantly take someone ten kilometers away. Move out at your fastest speed and don’t miss a single spot! I want him found, dead or alive!"
"Yes, Valley Master!" the disciples replied in unison, nodding immediately.
Knowing Yue Wuhen was enraged, not one of them dared to slack off. They all mobilized at once.
Yue Wuhen’s gaze was as dark as ink, his hands clenched into tight fists. This time, Xuanyue Valley had suffered catastrophic losses. Not only had they failed to capture Long Chen, but the man had also absconded with Yue Wuhen’s own treasure. Such an outcome would be a bitter pill for anyone to swallow.
Furthermore, everything that happened today had to be kept under wraps. If word of this got out, Xuanyue Valley would become the laughingstock of the entire God-Devil Domain. The thought made Yue Wuhen seethe with impotent rage.
His gaze fell back upon Dong Xuan’s corpse, and a grim shadow passed over his face. This disaster had happened entirely because of this traitor’s meddling. If not for him, Long Chen would now be a prisoner of Xuanyue Valley!
He shot a cold glare at the two elders. Feeling Yue Wuhen’s icy gaze upon them, both elders lowered their heads and remained silent.
Yue Wuhen and the elders then sped toward the Treasure Pavilion.
When they arrived, the fire at the Treasure Pavilion had already been extinguished. However, the once splendid hall, filled with priceless treasures, had been burned to nothing but ash. A murderous urge surged through Yue Wuhen. The faces of the two elders turned utterly grim.
The dozen or so disciples who had just finished putting out the fire were gasping for breath, completely exhausted. Their faces were covered in soot, and they looked utterly disheveled. However, upon seeing Yue Wuhen and the two elders, they snapped to attention, standing as straight as flagpoles. None dared to relax in the slightest, especially at such a critical moment.
Yue Wuhen’s gaze swept over the disciples. "Report on the situation at the Treasure Pavilion!"
The disciples’ hearts clenched. They exchanged nervous glances, each trying to push the responsibility of reporting onto someone else. Not a single one dared to step forward and deliver the news to Yue Wuhen. Fear was etched on every face. They held their breath, not daring to even breathe too loudly.
"Speak!" Yue Wuhen’s face darkened, his patience wearing thin. He fixed his stare on the disciple closest to him.
The disciple flinched, terrified by the command. But he had no choice. He had to bite the bullet and report on the Treasure Pavilion’s condition.
"Valley Master," the disciple began, his voice trembling, "before the fire even started, that intruder had already wrecked the Treasure Pavilion. Then... then he set it ablaze..."
His voice trailed off, becoming barely a whisper. Timidly, he finished, "Nothing from the Treasure Pavilion survived."
"What?!" Yue Wuhen stared at the disciple, his face a mask of disbelief. Their treasures, cherished for years and passed down through generations—was it possible that not a single one remained?
The disciple’s heart hammered in his chest, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He lowered his head, not daring to utter another word. He even held his breath, terrified that Yue Wuhen would hold him responsible.
The corners of the elders’ mouths twitched violently. Before arriving, they had prepared for the worst—that some treasures might have been destroyed. They never imagined the reality: that nothing would be left. Not even scraps.
This was a devastating blow to Xuanyue Valley. It was no exaggeration to say that their sect’s very foundation had been destroyed in less than a day by a single, brash young man!
Yue Wuhen’s face was ashen with rage. He turned to the two elders and demanded, "That traitor’s body... it hasn’t been disposed of yet, has it?"
"Not yet, Valley Master." The two elders shook their heads in unison.
Yue Wuhen’s voice was dangerously low. "Chop that traitor into mincemeat. I’ll use his flesh for fish bait! He dared to ruin my plans. Even in death, I will not grant him peace!"
The two elders immediately nodded. They felt helpless as well and understood Yue Wuhen’s brutal decree.
After all, Long Chen, the man who had thrown Xuanyue Valley into chaos, had escaped from right under their noses. Now, a burning resentment filled the heart of everyone in Xuanyue Valley, especially Yue Wuhen. As the Valley Master, Yue Wuhen had failed to capture Long Chen even after personally intervening. It was a humiliating slap in the face.
Yue Wuhen’s face flushed crimson with rage. He felt like he was about to explode.
BOOM!
An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from his body. The complexions of the surrounding disciples drained of all color as they fell to their knees in terror.
Yue Wuhen roared, "Long Chen! From this day forward, Xuanyue Valley will hunt you to the ends of the earth! I swear I will personally make you repay this a hundredfold!"
