An entirely fiery-red Castle stood atop a volcano. It was astonishingly large, hundreds of zhang tall and dozens of li across, looming like a great mountain over the entire volcano beneath it. Buildings covered the Castle, creating a magnificent spectacle, while Unicorn Eagle Beasts flew to and fro within its grounds.
On one of the Castle's plazas, Unicorn Eagle Beasts constantly landed and took off from a row of lofty platforms, making quite a sight. Cultivators in black armor covered with fiery-red flame patterns stood in orderly ranks around the plaza.
"Caw..." Suddenly, a Unicorn Eagle Beast landed on a platform, and a red-haired young man and a gaunt old man climbed down from its back.
"Ah, the young lord has returned!" A black-armored cultivator hurried over to greet them.
Indeed, the arrivals were Sun Xing and Jin Zhan, and this magnificent Castle was the headquarters of the Fire Dragon Palace.
"Hmm. Has everything been all right in the palace lately?" Sun Xing asked coldly as he headed toward a building beside the plaza. Jin Zhan followed without a word.
"Yes, everything has been normal," the black-armored cultivator answered respectfully, following behind Sun Xing. As he continued, his voice faded away, and his lips began moving slightly. He was actually transmitting his words directly to Sun Xing.
"Hmph. I knew something must have happened for you to be waiting here for me." Sun Xing's expression grew darker as he listened, and his voice was cold.
"Yes! Your subordinate deserves death," the cultivator said with a bitter smile.
Whoosh! Just as Sun Xing was about to speak, a sharp sound tore through the air, and a streak of purple Escaping Light shot toward them from the sky.
"Hmph. He certainly hears things quickly."
