As the Shadow Agent led them deep into the mountain, Yu Long and the ladies realized they were entering an underground network with several complicated channels.
It's been a few months since these shadow agents arrived at the Azure Cloud Continent under Yu Long's direct order, but they have already built advanced traveling routes.
"Hmm, You only gave me the report earlier." Yu Long suddenly opened his mouth. "Why don't you explain more about the Azure Cloud Continent as we walk."
The shadow agent was stunned before nodding his eyes. "Then, I will explain more things." He said enthusiastically.
"By the way, your name?" Chu Yueli asked this time.
"It's Han Bing, ma'am!" The shadow agent responded straightforwardly.
Chu Yueli's mouth twitched when she saw how Han Bing responded to her question. She wasn't a drill sergeant, so what's with this military-esque response?
Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue giggled on the side because it was rare for Chu Yueli to get caught off guard like this.
Han Bing awkwardly dodged Chu Yueli's gaze and stared at the tunnel ahead. "We have been in the Azure Cloud Continent for a few months and discovered everything that helped Shadow Realm's growth."
"Like Profound Sky Continent, we discover super factions like the Four Great Sacred Grounds. Their leaders are at the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm."
"They are Heaven Thwarting Sect, Seven Stars Divine Palace, and Soaring Celestial Sword Sect."
"Below that... Four countries equivalent to the empire in the Profound Sky Continent exist. They are Supwake Country, Southern Sky Country, True Vermillion Country, and Southern Border Holy Land."
"Supwake Country was located on the far east of Azure Cloud Continent and controlled by the Grandwake Clan, which lived in the Grandwake Mountain. However, they recently have a conflict with Blackwood Stronghold nearby."
"Southern Sky Country located in the south and was controlled by the Fleeting Sect with a bunch of 2nd-rate factions."
"True Vermillion Country on the west and was controlled by Divine Fire Clan alongside three subsidiary factions, such as Preaching Bird Clan, Fire Python Sect, and Golden Spear Alliance."
"The Southern Border Holy Land. The country is located in the far north and is unique as the people there are very religious. They have their deity called the Great Wing and Great Eyes, but we couldn't get our hands on these 'deities' as the people we kidnapped always killed themselves first."
"They are zealots... To the very end." The shadow agent sighed in helplessness.
"That kind of enemy is indeed annoying." Yu Long commented while recalling some bothersome cults in his past lives. Those people are the reason why the world couldn't become too peaceful.
"What about the Cloud's End Cliff?"
The shadow agent's expression changed as he answered, "The Cloud's End Cliff exists in the Mythical Abode Mountain, which was close to the Grandwake Mountain. That place is rich in spiritual herbs and minerals." "At the same time, the profound beast there is very aggressive. Still, it was nothing compared to our Shadow Legion."
"We didn't expect the Ancient Devil Beasts to exist inside Cloud's End Cliff. No wonder the natives here perceived the place as the most dangerous area in the Azure Cloud Continent."
"Also, the population of Azure Cloud Continent is 70% lower than the Profound Sky Continent. It was so weird, considering the natural resources and profound strength's quality here is higher. As if this place advancing slower or maybe lost in time is the correct term."
"No, you're not wrong." Yu Long shook his head gently. "This place is indeed lost in time."
Thanks to Ancestral God's power, the Azure Cloud Continent was reset by a few years. Yu Long couldn't count how many lives were lost to give the protagonist(Yun Che) a third chance, just showing what kind of SIMP Xiao Lingxi(Ancestral God) was.
It's frightening how easily a mighty being like Ancestral God toyed with people's lives. However, Yu Long wasn't worried because the Ancestral God would join his team(harem) soon.
"Where is the Shadow Realm's base located?" Yu Long asked this time.
The shadow agent smiled and replied proudly, "Of course, it's on the Grandwake Mountain. We covered ourselves as a second-rate sect called "Thousand Weapons Associations." and formed several good relationships in just a few months."
"Everything is on the good path beside the Cloud's End Cliff..."
"Don't worry." Yu Long patted the shadow agent's shoulder. "I will deal with the Cloud's End Cliff."
"Yes, Lord Shadow!" The shadow agent was excited.
When Lord Shadow moved personally, even Heaven and Earth bent to his will!
...
They finally arrived at the Thousand Weapon Associations. It was a huge castle made of rare rocks and chimneys all over, seemingly spewing smoke one after another.
The hammering sound and weapon clashing echoed throughout the building, surprising Yu Long.
"I see..." A rare smile bloomed on Yu Long's face.
"Ye Zhi was the one who led this legion, huh? I should have guessed it from the name of this cover." He patted his forehead in amusement.
"Who's Ye Zhi?" Chu Yuechan couldn't help but raise her head.
"Ah, that person is..." Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue awkwardly covered their faces.
Chu Yueli stared at the castle calmly and answered, "One of the Shadow Realm's Founders. Code Name, Weapon Master."
"Weapon Master-?" Before Chu Yuechan could digest the information, a silhouette jumped from the castle and landed before them.
BOOM!
A cloud of dust rose, making Chu Yuechan wary as she stepped before Yu Long and drew the Song of Broken Pines out.
"Hoho, a heavy sword? Not bad." A fair and slender hand stretched out of the dust and grabbed Song of Broken Pines' blade, making Chu Yuechan's eyes widen in shock.
"More than forty tons at that. Your technique is actually better than some founders."
"Who might you possibly be? A beautiful body, graceful figure, and cold fairy-like face."
"Ah, you're the Third Shadow Bride's Sister, Chu Yuechan." A woman finally appeared as the dust settled down.
However, it wasn't your typical woman. She's not your thin and willowy beauty. She wore Shadow Realm combat armor, exposing her muscular physique and 'valiant' beauty with a touch of femininity. Her black hair was 'purposely' short, but not too short, as she had a little ponytail.
Chu Yuechan frowned as she felt this sweaty woman was the opposite image of herself.
"Ye Zhi greets the Lord Shadow?" Ye Zhi pushed the Song of Broken Pines away from her face and welcomed Yu Long warmly. Her smile exploded those pearly white teeth.
Yu Long chuckled, "I forgot you were part of this mission. Well, it seems you're doing good here."
Ye Zhi nodded and returned, "This place is heaven for blacksmiths. It's too bad old man Gu Wei wasn't part of the legion this time."
Chu Yueli gave Ye Zhi a weird look and commented, "Your skill is on par with old man Gu Wei. Why would you need him here?"
"Oh, nice to meet you, Chu Yueli. Oops, my bad, I mean the third." Ye Zhi flashed a grin.
Chu Yueli's expression darkened slightly.
Ye Zhi felt amused after seeing Chu Yueli's dark expression and casually continued, "My skill might be on par with old man Gu Wei, but our level in art is different."
"After all, I created a weapon for destruction!"
Yu Long flicked Ye Zhi's forehead and said, "Stop it. You're going to make Chu Yueli attack you at this point."
"Hehe, I would like to see her do it." Ye Zhi winked at Yu Long. She doesn't care about Chu Yueli's position at all.
"Anyway, let me lead you inside. I have warm beer and snacks prepared."
As Ye Zhi led everyone inside, Chu Yuechan couldn't help but peek at her sister. "Why did I feel there was a history between you and her?" She asked with a whisper.
"That woman was mad at me." Chu Yueli answered indifferently.
"Eh, how so?"
"She was mad that I stole her Shadow Bride's position..."
"..." Chu Yuechan gulped in realization.
No wonder Ye Zhi was so fierce.
'Hmph! It's the young master who gave me Shadow Bride's position, so who are you to meddle with his decision?' Chu Yueli snorted inside as she didn't care about Ye Zhi's hate either.
