A Chance for Fair Dialogue

Before the Five Elements Blood Fiend Formation was completed, Li Guanglong did not dare to rashly enter the residence and confront the God-King Zeus face-to-face.

Though he himself was a martial arts grandmaster, compared to Zeus --- who was an Ultimate Grandmaster --- he was still far inferior.

If a conflict were to break out, he estimated he wouldn't last three moves against Zeus.

Even with the Burning Heaven Blazing Talisman that the Old Supervisor had gifted him, he might not get the chance to use it.

So, to ensure safety, he had specially summoned his five masters to set up the Five Elements Blood Fiend Formation.

Inside this formation, the five masters were virtually invincible.

Should Zeus make any move, the five of them would immediately take action to stop him.

Wearing a grim expression, Li Guanglong followed the bloodstained stone path forward. He didn’t stop until he reached the main hall.

At this moment, seated in the place of honor in the hall were two blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners --- a man and a woman.

The man on the left exuded a powerful aura, his face full of arrogance, and his smile carried a sinister charm --- clearly, this was the God-King Zeus.

As for the alluring and voluptuous woman on the right, she reclined lazily on her chair with a drowsy look, revealing no clear intentions.

But anyone who could sit alongside Zeus was certainly no ordinary figure --- very likely another God-King.

Among the Four Great God-Kings of the Pantheon Temple, only one was female --- Hera.

Realizing this, Li Guanglong couldn’t help but frown.

He had expected only Zeus. He hadn’t anticipated that Hera would be here too.

Facing two God-Kings head-on was clearly unwise, even with his five masters backing him. He dared not act recklessly.

Aside from the two God-Kings, the hall was also filled with other top experts from the Pantheon Temple, and a group of Li Guanglong’s household members --- kneeling on the floor.

Most of them were his relatives, including wives, concubines, and children --- all taken hostage.

“Your Highness, save us!”

“Your Highness! These villains are committing atrocities and killing innocents. Please bring us justice!”

“…!”

Upon seeing Li Guanglong, everyone in the hall began wailing and pleading for help.

They had always lived pampered lives, used to high positions and luxury. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?

Now, trampled like dogs beneath others’ feet, slaughtered at will --- it filled them with grief and rage.

Ignoring their cries for help, Li Guanglong stared intently at the seated Zeus and asked coldly,
“I have always had no conflict with the Pantheon Temple. Why did you invade my residence and kill people?!”

“You are Li Guanglong?” Zeus asked, lounging comfortably.

“That’s right,” Li Guanglong narrowed his eyes, “Now answer my question!”

“They were just ants. Killed them, so what? What can you do about it?” Zeus sneered.

He was always proud and arrogant, never taking the so-called nobles of the Dragonmarsh seriously.

To him, killing a few nobles was no different from squashing some ants.

“Zeus! I’m warning you --- don’t be too arrogant!” Li Guanglong said angrily.
“My people have you surrounded. If you don’t want a fight to the death, you'd better back down!”

“Oh? From your tone, sounds like you’re not backing down?” Zeus leaned forward slightly, sneering.
“Even if I kill everyone in your estate, what can you do? You don’t seriously think some stupid formation can trap me, do you? Don’t be naive.”

Of course, he had clearly seen the Five Elements Blood Fiend Formation outside --- but he simply didn’t care.

“If the formation can't hold you, then how about this?”

Suddenly, Li Guanglong pulled out a fiery red talisman --- the Burning Heaven Blazing Talisman.

“Hm?”

Seeing the talisman, Zeus frowned slightly, clearly surprised.

Though he didn’t know exactly what the talisman did, he could sense the danger from it.

If it hit him, even if he didn’t die, he’d definitely be severely injured.

At that moment, he finally took the situation seriously.

It seemed this Second Prince Li Guanglong wasn’t so simple after all --- to have something that could pose a threat to him.

“So?” Li Guanglong asked, sensing Zeus’s hesitation and feeling more confident.
“Still want to go down with me?”

“I must’ve underestimated you,” Zeus sat back slowly and said flatly,
“I respect strength. I’ll give you a chance for fair dialogue. Tell me where Logan Rhys is, and we’ll leave immediately --- no further trouble.”

“Logan Rhys?” Li Guanglong frowned. “How would I know where he is?”

“Still pretending? At this point? Or are you saying you don’t want to negotiate?” Zeus’s eyes grew colder.

“I’ve met Logan Rhys, but I don’t know where he is now. Also, I’m very curious --- who told you I knew where he is?” Li Guanglong countered.

“Hmph! Take a look for yourself!”

Zeus waved his hand, and a beam of white light shot out.

Wan Zhong’s pupils shrank. He immediately stepped forward and caught the light.

The immense force made Wan Zhong take three steps back, and his arm went numb.

Looking closely, it was a guard’s waist token --- engraved with the character “Guang.”

“Your own man told me that Logan Rhys is hiding here,” Zeus said coldly. “Are you still going to deny it?”

“Hiding in my estate?”

Li Guanglong was stunned for a moment but quickly realized what was going on. He shouted,

“Fool! You’ve been tricked. This is clearly someone framing me!” - Ton

This is absolutely not going to end well for the second prince.

Maybe you mean the Third Prince? Cause looks like this conversation is going to uncover who orchestrated this :)

Thanks for the update, Admin Ton

Exactly. They're about to figure it out. My concern is, how is it possible for foreigners to come into stonia and going after princes but no any power sect provide support. Based on this situation, Pantheons can do whatever they want in Dragonmarsh..

He called Zeus a fool. Not going to end well.

That "fool" is based on the translation.

Raw auto translate says "Stupid fellow" but Google translate and Chatgpt both shows "You fool or just Fool". So whichever we go, it's the same lol

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...

The Swarm of Man-Eating Fish

Dustin landed lightly back on the shattered deck, the golden glow on his longsword gradually fading. Across the sea’s surface, dark green blood floated in thick patches, slowly dispersing in the rain. Far in the distance, the typhoon had vanished without warning. A gap opened in the clouds, allowing sunlight to break through at last, casting warm rays onto the ravaged Wavebreaker . Margaret steadied herself against the swaying rail, gazing out at the now-calm sea, a long sigh of relief escaping her lips. That octopus demon just now had the power of an Ultimate Grandmaster --- its enormous body and terrifying regenerative abilities made it nearly invincible. Even most Ultimate Grandmasters wouldn’t stand a chance against such a monster. Thankfully, they had Dustin. If he hadn't been there, who knows how many lives would have been lost? At last, the sea had calmed, and the storm was receding. The Wavebreaker floated gently atop the waves. The deck was in ruins, littered ...

Frozen Wasteland

The ice sculptures shimmered with a cold light in the biting wind, the soldiers’ twisted faces sealed inside the crystalized frost, as if still crying out from the agony of being frozen alive. Li Guanglong stared at those figures, his Adam’s apple rolling a few times as he forced down the tremor in his chest. He raised a hand to rub his still-stiff arm. The spot that had been swept by the white mist earlier was still faintly bruised with purplish-blue, the chill seeming to seep deep into his very bones. “Your Highness, that spirit deer carries a poisonous cold beyond imagination.” Wan Zhong leaned on his blade as he walked over, the wound on his lone arm having split open again from the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages, dripping scarlet dots onto the snow. He gazed toward where the deer had vanished, his eyes full of dread. “We’d best hold our camp steady for now, and not recklessly provoke the creatures of this island again.” Li Guanglong nodded silently. His earlier ...
