Zhou Hong sneered coldly. However, he decided to go to the City Lord's mansion to meet this Lu Long.
Soon, Zhou Hong arrived at the City Lord's mansion.
At the grand entrance of the City Lord's mansion, eight or ninety young men were already standing. These eight or ninety young men were the top 100 geniuses of Wumeng City. They had all been invited, or rather, ordered to come.
Zhou Hong stood among the crowd, unmoving and silent. No one spoke to him, and he spoke to no one. Zhou Hong was currently hiding his true strength, so everyone believed he was still just a fifth-grade demon.
Soon, all 100 geniuses had arrived.
At that moment, a man walked out of the City Lord's mansion.
Upon seeing this man, expressions of surprise flickered across the faces of the crowd, as if they still held a trace of apprehension towards him.
Without needing to guess, everyone knew this man was Lu Long, known as the Peerless Mad Dragon.
"Everyone, long time no see. I've been away for 20 years, and you've all had peace for 20 years, haven't you?" Lu Long said with a chuckle as he walked out, greeting them. From his words, it was clear that when he was active in Wumeng City 20 years ago, the geniuses here had often been spanked by him.
Indeed, the faces of the geniuses present turned somewhat grim.
"Heh, don't worry everyone. Although I've spanked some of you in the past, it shouldn't happen in the future, as long as you all help me sincerely."
"Young Master Kuang, what do you want us to help you with?" one of the young geniuses asked.
"Do I even need to say? Of course, it's to find that guy named Zhou Hong. This scoundrel! I originally thought I could find him in a few days with my abilities, but after searching for days, I haven't found the slightest trace." Lu Long said furiously.
The crowd finally understood that Lu Long had gathered them to help him find Zhou Hong.
"Young Master Kuang, we really don't know where Zhou Hong is. We've only seen his face in the wanted poster."
"Yes, Young Master Kuang. Zhou Hong is elusive. Even the City Lord can't find him, let alone us."
The crowd quickly began to protest.
"Hmph, find him even if you don't know where he is. Otherwise, don't blame me if I revert to my true nature as the Peerless Mad Young Master. I haven't spanked anyone in 20 years, and my hands are itching."
The geniuses in the crowd looked dejected and dared not say another word.
Zhou Hong, standing in the crowd, curved his lips slightly. What a Peerless Mad Young Master.
Zhou Hong thought to himself whether he should teach this Peerless Mad Young Master a lesson. Seeing him act so arrogant and pretentious now, Zhou Hong felt a surge of annoyance.
"Alright everyone, there's nothing else. I specifically called you here to help me find Zhou Hong. From today onwards, put aside your cultivation and dedicate yourselves to finding him. Whoever helps me find a clue will be richly rewarded. If anyone is just going through the motions, don't blame me."
The crowd dared not say anything.
Zhou Hong stared at Lu Long and immediately discerned his strength. He had expected him to be very powerful, but he was merely a second-grade demon master.
Zhou Hong was also a second-grade demon master. Without even using his Star Power, he could beat Lu Long into a pulp.
"Good, I'll teach him a lesson later and see if he dares to be so arrogant. Peerless Mad Young Master, hmph, I'll turn him into a Dog Shit Mad Young Master," Zhou Hong vowed inwardly.
"Alright everyone, you may leave." Lu Long waved his hand and then turned to return to the City Lord's mansion.
The crowd dispersed, and Zhou Hong also returned to Black Orchid Mansion.
"Zhou Hong, where have you been?" Hei Xiaolu came out as soon as he returned home.
"Have you finished your cultivation? Have you broken through?" Zhou Hong quickly asked. Hei Xiaolu had mentioned earlier that she was going into seclusion for cultivation.
"No. Sigh, I'm really too stupid. I thought I had some insights and could break through to a third-grade demon in one go, but I still couldn't." Hei Xiaolu was full of dejection, especially since Zhou Hong had broken through so quickly while she remained stagnant. She felt immense pressure.
"Don't rush, take your time."
"Mhm, mhm. What did Lu Long want to see you for?" Hei Xiaolu asked after nodding.
"Nothing much. I didn't even enter the City Lord's mansion. Just at the main entrance, he told all 100 young geniuses to put aside our cultivation and help him find Zhou Hong."
"Then you need to be careful."
"Heh!" Zhou Hong snorted dismissively. The City Lord had been searching for so long without success, and Zhou Hong was confident in himself. He was even less likely to be found in the future.
"You don't need to worry about me."
And so, time passed until evening.
Zhou Hong and Hei Xiaolu did not share the same room because Zhou Hong had plans for the night.
His so-called plan was to teach Lu Long a good lesson.
Zhou Hong plunged his Demon Subduing Pestle into the ground. The pestle immediately extended underground like tree roots, quickly reaching the City Lord's mansion.
After entering the underground of the City Lord's mansion, Zhou Hong dared not move at high speed. He could only crawl slowly. Even if the City Lord sensed something, he would likely only think it was earthworms or something similar crawling underground. Even if the City Lord discovered something, Zhou Hong could retract it instantly.
Soon, Zhou Hong's Demon Subduing Pestle reached a certain room. The roots quietly emerged from the ground. Through the pestle, Zhou Hong could see a bed in the room, which was shaking. Zhou Hong came to this room first because the commotion here was quite significant.
Zhou Hong looked and saw that the person on the bed was none other than Lu Long.
"Good heavens, I thought it would take some effort to find his room, but I found it on the first try," Zhou Hong chuckled. Su Dan Novel Network.
Lu Long, who was currently engaged in activity, had no idea that Zhou Hong, the owner of the land, was not familiar with him. However, he thought the woman looked quite good, pretty.
Zhou Hong was now contemplating how to capture Lu Long.
If he used the Demon Subduing Pestle to entangle Lu Long's body and then quickly drag him across the ground? That was obviously not feasible. Dragging such a large body across the ground would immediately give him away.
If all else failed, he could spray Lu Long with feces again using the Demon Subduing Pestle. But that was too unoriginal, always doing the same thing was too boring.
Zhou Hong was temporarily unsure how to teach him a lesson. If necessary, he could only use the Demon Subduing Pestle to beat him, but Zhou Hong found that rather uninteresting.
Just then, the shaking suddenly stopped.
"Young Master Long, continue." The woman seemed unaware of anything. However, Lu Long grunted unhappily, "Continue my ass! So frustrating. It's been so long, and I'm still so quick."
"Oh, oh!" The woman realized something and quickly made agreeable sounds. Then, she comforted him, saying, "It's okay, Young Master Long. This is normal. Others are like this too."
"Normal my ass! Do others also last only a dozen seconds? Don't think I don't know. I don't need your comfort." Lu Long glared at the woman. His mood seemed to be very bad.
