Chapter 1466 Fallen Into a Trap

This was one of the paths that went towards the rainbow palace.

The rainbow palace had a main hall with seven secondary halls complimenting it.

The seven secondary halls were named after the seven colors of the rainbow, and all seven of them pointed towards seven different directions. Therefore, there were seven paths that went towards the main hall. If someone wanted to enter the main hall, they must go through one of the seven secondary halls first.

In the Orange hall, extreme wind and rain suddenly came out of nowhere. This sudden shift of weather didn’t cause a commotion inside the Orange hall as there was no one inside it.

“For no one to guard one of the secondary halls, this is surprising. Lord Gen’s influence is seriously deteriorating,” a calm voice suddenly echoed through the orange hall. In the dark and silent hall, a middle-aged man clad in a blue gown appeared after he spoke.

An icy cold voice followed, “The rainbow palace is still massively influenced by the previous Lord Gen. You think too highly of this nobody if you thought he could make them work for him in such a short amount of time.”

A middle-aged man in a white gown appeared beside the blue gowned man.

The former was Lord Kan, nicknamed Tornado. The latter was Lord Xun, nicknamed Rainstorm.

“However, this new Lord Gen seems to be smart enough to predict our movements and send them away from the massacre we are about to start. This large palace actually has no living soul in it. This kill order Lord Qian had sent out was all for nothing,” said Lord Kan regrettably.

“That might not be the case. Lord Gen seemed to not have brought away his own loyal followers. Those people should still be here. It’s just that we don’t know where they’re hiding. How troublesome!” Lord Xun had a hint of impatience on his face. He hated these hide and seek games the most.

“Lord Qian really thought too much of them to have us all move out. Just three of us would be able to flatten the entire rainbow palace.” Lord Kan felt that Lord Qian exaggerated the need for all of them to come.

“Did you not sense the energy coming from the main hall? That person is not easy to deal with.” The expression Lord Xun showed when he looked towards the main hall was stern. That terrifying energy wasn’t anything to joke about.

“Isn’t he Lord Qian’s problem?” Lord Kan pouted. “If he’s afraid of someone affecting his status, he should resolve the problem himself.”

“Or perhaps this is a test Lord Qian arranged for us. We should still be careful. Who knows, maybe someone will become the next Mu Jinyi.” Lord Xun was undoubtedly more cautious than Lord Kan.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. We’ll go straight to the main hall. We should be the fastest ones to get there, right?” asked Lord Kan.

“Theoretically, Lord Zhen and Lord Demon should be the fastest. However, out of these two, the latter is our opponent and won’t obediently arrive on time and I’m not sure what the former is thinking…” After saying that, Lord Xun couldn’t help but frown. Lord Demon was originally untrustworthy, but Lord Zhen’s attitude of nothing mattered also annoyed him.

“Wasn’t he in good relations with Mu Jinyi? That event back in the past. It may have caused him to have a grudge,” said Lord Kan while thinking deeply.

“Who knows. However, Lord Zhen was never compliant on the outside and disobedient on the inside when it came to orders from Lord Qian. No matter what his attitude is, he’s still on our side.” Lord Xun didn’t understand Lord Zhen. “Let’s go. If we arrive too late, they’ll laugh at us, especially that annoying clown.”

Out of all the lords, the one he hated the most was definitely Lord Card. He didn’t know why Lord Card would always get on his nerves, but the two of them just were never on the same page and hated each other.

“Okay, I also don’t want to see Lord Demon’s devilish face smiling with satisfaction.” Lord Kan also had someone he didn’t like.

Right as the two of them were preparing to leave, they suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Lord Xun frowned slightly. He looked towards an empty space in a certain direction and said plainly, “Come out!”

The seemingly empty hall actually had people in it. If it wasn’t for the fact that they said they were leaving, causing the enemy to have a fluctuation in their mood, they perhaps would have actually been fooled by these people.

At that moment, behind the pillar near the corner of the hall, a person suddenly walked out.

This newcomer had an extremely youthful appearance with an honest and shy smile. It was as though he had accidentally walked into the hall and bothered them by accident.

Lord Xun couldn’t help but be shocked for a moment after seeing the newcomer being so young. People, who have reached their current strength, were able to easily look past a disguise. They wouldn’t be fooled by any disguises.

“Who are you?” Lord Xun asked.

“Qi Long!” The man standing before them had dumb-looking smile on his face as he scratched his head shyly and answered the question wholeheartedly.

“Qi Long?” Not only Lord Xun was confused, Lord Kan was also confused. In their reports, the loyal underlings the new Lord Gen had brought didn’t have someone named Qi Long. Moreover, with the fact that he could hide his presence from them, this Qi Long must definitely have some skills. This type of person would definitely have been in their reports. The only possibility was that Qi Long had never appeared in front of the public in the past.

“You work for Lan Xiao?” Lord Kan asked a follow up question to confirm Qi Long’s identity.

Qi Long nodded. At that moment, he hadn’t realized nodding was the same as signing his death warrant. Lord Qian’s order to kill was to take out every one of Lord Gen’s people and not leave even a single one of them alive.

“You’re honest, but unfortunately, no matter how honest you are, we won’t let you go!” Lord Kan had a look of pity in his eyes. He was beginning to like this little boy.

“You?” Lord Xun turned and asked Lord Kan.

Lord Kan nodded and said, “I’ll do it!”

After saying that, a visible whirlwind suddenly appeared beside him and it went towards Qi Long in an indomitable fashion.

Just as the whirlwind was about to crush Qi Long into pieces, Qi Long suddenly vanished.

In the next second, he appeared behind Lord Kan and ruthlessly hit the back of his head.

“Bang!” However, his fist didn’t come close to his intended target before getting blocked by a kite shield made out of wind. Upon realizing he wouldn’t get past the shield unless with some more forceful methods, Qi Long quickly bounced backwards before landing firmly after somersaulting in the air.

Lord Kan turned around slowly. His expression showed that he was not in the best of moods.

“You were at a disadvantage.” Lord Xun understood what happened from just one look.

“Who knew that the hunter would become the hunted. Pretending to be prey, but was actually a predator all along. I actually fell for your trap,” said Lord Kan coldly. An aura of killing intent was visible forming around his eyes.

When he made his move in the beginning, he was nonchalant about it so he at most used 30 percent of his strength. He didn’t expect Qi Long to have everything planned out. From the beginning, Qi Long was not phased by their appearance, judging from the fact that he put in all of his strength right from the start.

If the difference between their strength were too vast, no matter how many traps the weaker party uses, it wouldn’t harm Lord Kan. However, as luck would have it, Qi Long’s strength wasn’t too far off from him. He was only weaker by one stage. Luckily, for him, his reaction speed was fast enough to deflect the fist.

“However, you’ve successfully angered me…” Right as Lord Kan finished, he had already arrived in front of Qi Long. A sword made out of sharp wind appeared in his hand.

“Break!” Qi Long shouted loudly. He pushed out with one hand and the wind sword in Lord Kan’s hand vanished with a ‘pop’.

“Huh?” Lord Xun was confused by what just happened. However, it didn’t phase him for too long as the next second, a water whip appeared in his palm. He whipped it towards Qi Long, who was fighting with Lord Kan.

Bang! Then a loud explosion was heard.

A glimmer of silver light brightened the entire hall. Two long whips shot out and slashed against the stones flooring, leaving two whip-like scars.

At that moment, a beautiful young man with a slim and scrawny physique appeared in the hall.

Both Lord Kan and Lord Xun knew who this person was . It was Lord Gen’s most competent follower, Luo Lang!
