The group stumbled through the base streets in a disheveled state, attracting numerous surprised and suspicious glances.

When passersby recognized the injured man as Long Sanshi from the Dragon King Sect, they quickly made way for him and whispered among themselves.

Who is so bold as to lay such a heavy hand on a core member of the Dragon King Cult?

The Dragon King Sect's headquarters is located in a large, renovated shopping mall in the eastern part of the base.

Two guards dressed in black stood at the entrance. Upon seeing Long Sanshi's miserable state, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly stepped forward to assist him.

"What's going on? What's wrong with Master Thirty?" a guard asked in surprise.

"There's some damned bastard! He beat Brother Thirty up like this at Tiandao Foot Massage City!" The henchman carrying Long Thirty gritted his teeth. "Quickly, inform the other Long masters!"

The news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating a huge uproar at the Dragon King Sect headquarters.

In less than five minutes, more than twenty people had gathered in the main council hall.

These people were all dressed in black, close-fitting outfits, with a ferocious dragon pattern embroidered on their chests.

They are the core force of the Dragon King Cult, the core members of Dragon One through Dragon Thirty-Two.

"Thirty Brother!" A tall, thin middle-aged man with a sinister look quickly walked to Long Thirty's side to check his injuries.

He was Long Wu, in charge of punishments within the sect, and was known for his ruthless methods.

Long Sanshi barely opened his eyes and hissed, "Fifth Brother... that bastard... so strong... one move and he..."

"Doctor!" Long Wu shouted, and immediately medical staff came forward to treat Long Sanshi's injuries.

"What exactly happened?" a deep voice came from the doorway.

The crowd made way, and a burly, bald man with a face full of scars strode in.

He is Long Yi, the actual manager when the Dragon King is not around.

The subordinates quickly reported the details of what had happened.

They omitted the part where Long Sanshi provoked them first, and focused on describing how Jiang Wu "attacked without cause," "cruelly abused" Long Sanshi, and openly provoked the entire Dragon King Cult.

"He also said... that all of us brothers should go together, or that we should directly invite the Dragon King himself..." the subordinate reporting nervously added, "saying he wanted to see what the consequences would be of provoking the Dragon King's Church..."

The council chamber erupted in chaos.

"Arrogant!"

"You fool who doesn't know what's good for him!"

"This is like someone defecating on our heads!"

Long Yi's expression was ashen, his thick fingers cracking as he clenched his fists: "Unfamiliar face? Are you sure?"

"Confirmed! We've never seen this person before! Wang Tiefeng said he was a distinguished guest of the military, but we've never heard of him!" the subordinate quickly replied.

"People from the military?" Long Yi narrowed his eyes. "Where did Wang Tiefeng get the guts?"

After examining Long Thirty's injuries, Long Twelve, a doctor by training, walked to Long One's side with a grave expression: "Big Brother, Thirty's right arm is almost completely shattered. Even with the best mutated herbs, it won't heal for several months. The attacker was extremely ruthless, and..."

He lowered his voice: "Judging from the injuries, the opponent's strength far surpasses Thirty Brother's. Thirty Brother is a strength-type evolved being; someone who could overwhelm him like this must be at least a level two expert, or even..."

Long Yi's pupils contracted slightly: "Level three?"

The word instantly silenced the surroundings.

A Level 3 Evolver—only the Dragon King in the entire base has reached this level!

"Impossible!" roared a man with a scarred face. "How could there be another level three expert besides the Dragon King? His abilities must be quite special!"

He is Long Qi, with a volatile temper, and is closest to Long Sanshi.

"Regardless of whether it's level four or not, this revenge must be taken!" Long Qi suddenly stood up. "Big brother, let me lead the brothers to tear that bastard to pieces!"

"Yes! Blood for blood!"

"Let everyone know the consequences of provoking the Dragon King Cult!"

The crowd was outraged, and many volunteered to fight.

Long Yi pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Seventh Brother, you take ten brothers and fifty evolved beings with you first, and make sure you bring enough weapons! Take four Dragon Scale Vehicles with you!"

"Don't underestimate them. Since they dare to be so arrogant, they must have something to rely on. Let's test their strength first. If they're really tough, send a signal for help immediately."

He paused, then added, "Remember, if you succeed, take him alive. I want to interrogate him personally and see who he is, daring to be so arrogant!"

"Don't worry, brother!" Long Qi sneered, "I'll make him regret ever being born!"

Ten minutes later, a team of eleven core members of the Dragon King Cult, riding in modified vehicles, stormed out of the main altar and headed straight for the Heavenly Path Foot Massage City.

These vehicles were covered with scales ranging from tens of centimeters to half a meter wide, and all of them were painted black, making them look like armored monsters.

The heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns mounted on the roof made them look extremely powerful.

Pedestrians along the way quickly gave way, their faces showing fear.

"It's the Dragon King's Dragon Scale Carriage! Those dragon lords must be sitting inside! What are they going to do?"

"Looks like he's going to cause trouble for someone!"

"Who's so unlucky as to have messed with these bastards?"

The news spread quickly, and many busybodies followed from a distance, eager to see who dared to provoke the Dragon King Cult.

Inside the Tiandao Foot Massage City, Jiang Wu was enjoying a massage from Fire Phoenix.

To be honest, she did a really good job.

He's clearly a veteran.

Just then, a subordinate's voice came through the walkie-talkie on Fire Phoenix's body: "Sister Yan, the Dragon King Cult has arrived, with five Dragon Scale Chariots."
