Versatile Mage: Summoning Black Dragon, the pinnacle of divine power

……

A short while later, Caesar returned, and Xin Yuekui was also pulled out.

"You, as the high priest, really don't have a moment to rest at all," Asha'ruya said with amusement.

“It’s better not to rest than to rest every day,” Xin Yuekui said.

Knowing what you can and cannot do is very important.

If Caesar were to act without considering whether he had absolute certainty when faced with a problem, and only seek her out after things had become more complicated, that would truly be a sign of his mindset towards her!
Fortunately, Caesar was still very cautious in his actions; he wouldn't touch anything he wasn't absolutely certain of.

"Can we find it?" Caesar asked.

"I'll try it first, it should work." Xin Yuekui took the Condensed Evil Pearl from Caesar's hand, formed hand seals, and cast a spell.

Although the Crimson Demon nurtured by this Condensed Evil Pearl was destroyed by Far's light magic long ago, it is still the breeding ground for Crimson Demons.

Through the Condensed Evil Pearl, she can find the Crimson Demon's kind.

"..."

Time passed slowly, and Caesar waited quietly. If Xin Yuekui couldn't be found, he would have no choice but to go to the Holy City to borrow the Golden Dragon.

No matter how powerful the Red Devil is, it is no longer an emperor. It cannot hide from the Golden Dragon's eyes.

"This Red Demon is quite the player." Xin Yuekui opened her eyes, completed the final incantation, and the Condensed Evil Pearl hanging in front of her immediately generated countless threads of blood energy, which spread out in all directions and connected with one person after another in the Twin Guardian Pavilion.

“Those connected by red threads are all blood demons.”

"So many?" Shaka and the others were stunned by the scene before them.

Even the patrolling guards who had just passed by them were Blood Demons!

"Without a forbidden spell mage guarding this Twin Guardian Pavilion, it's practically a backyard for that Red Demon Yiqiu to play around in," Xin Yuekui said.

Even under the forbidden spell, no one could detect the Red Demon's abnormality, let alone the fact that the special curse array of the Twin Guardian Pavilion itself would have a great impact on mages. Even if something strange happened, the people here would only think that they had stayed in the East Guardian Pavilion for too long and attribute the problem to their insufficient cultivation.

Over time, those Blood Demons were able to replace everyone in the Twin Guardian Pavilion whenever they had the chance.

If more than 80% of the people in this Twin Guardian Pavilion have been replaced by the Blood Demon, the original people were either imprisoned in the Twin Guardian Pavilion prison as nourishment for the Red Demon's ascension ritual, or were quietly erased.

"Is it accurate?" Caesar asked.

“If you’re worried, you can do it one at a time,” Xin Yuekui said.

"I just found people with a strong Red Devil aura. Among them, there may be those who have been in contact with the Red Devil for a long time but have not been replaced."

Caesar thought for a moment, "Never mind, let Wangyue Mingjian handle it himself."

"Can we find the Crimson Demon's true form?"

“No, the Red Demon’s magnetic field here is too chaotic. These Blood Demons under its command are its best cover,” Xin Yuekui said.

"However, you could release those people locked up in the East Guard Pavilion and let them check them one by one."

Caesar thought for a moment, "This is the only way."

……

Upon entering the East Guardian Pavilion, Caesar slowly made his way down to the prison cells.

They saw the Moonlit Sword, its magic locked away in a cell, as well as the other chiefs of the Twin Guardians Pavilion.

"Should I say you were careless, or that you were just unlucky?" Caesar released the restraints on this area, and Wangyue Mingjian and the others also saw Caesar's arrival.

"You... what are you doing here?" Mochizuki Meiken was a little confused.

"Where is Qianxun?" Caesar asked.

"She was locked up too?"

“I don’t know. We’ve been imprisoned here for a long time. There are several levels of the prison. She might be downstairs, or she might still be out,” said Wangyue Mingjian. “You…you know?”

"Most of them already know." Caesar opened the prison and released Wangyue Mingjian and the others.

The restrictions of the East Guardian Pavilion are extremely ruthless. Once imprisoned under the forbidden spell, one cannot cast a single spell, and one's soul power will be continuously drained. In less than two years, even the most powerful mage will become an ordinary person with no strength to even kill a chicken, or even die from having their soul drained.

This process is extremely agonizing, which is why many countries detain heinous criminals in the East Guardian Pavilion.

For those people, death is too easy.

"I was careless too," sighed Wangyue Mingjian.

“Yi Qiu has never left. He has always been in the East Guard Pavilion, brainwashing those low-level prisoners and turning them into Blood Demons. When the guards of the East Guard Pavilion come in to take turns on duty, they will find an opportunity to lock people up in the cell and pretend to take over everything themselves.”

Now, Shuangshouge is completely under Yiqiu's control, and even he doesn't know how many people have suffered.

"You release the others, I'll go find Qianxun." Caesar released the blockade and suppression of the prison and walked towards the lower level of the East Guardian Pavilion.

He had looked for Mochizuki Chika outside before coming in, but that guy was a fake. The real Mochizuki Chika was locked up.

If it's not on this floor, then it's on the floor below.

"That's... the legendary move he used in Shanghai?" Fujikata Nobuko looked around at the imprisoned space-time with some shock.

No wonder even the ocean gods retreated; this power has probably surpassed that of an emperor!
"Probably," said Wangyue Mingjian.

"Luckily he came, otherwise who knows what would have happened to this place."

More and more people are being imprisoned in the East Guardian Pavilion; it seems that Ichiaki's plan is nearing completion.

If things go wrong, the entire Twin Guardian Pavilion could become a sacrifice for Yi Qiu's ascension!

……

After resisting the lower level prison of the East Guardian Pavilion and searching for a while, Caesar finally found Mochizuki Chika in a corner of the prison.

"Qianxun?"

Caesar opened the seal on the prison door, walked in, squatted down next to the unconscious Mochizuki Chika, and gently patted her shoulder.

Mochizuki Chika showed no reaction and appeared extremely weak.

Caesar sensed her condition.

More than half of her soul power has already been drained. This girl has been locked up for at least half a year. If she is locked up for another two months, her soul power will be excessively depleted, and then she will truly be beyond saving.

"I was originally going to check the situation." Caesar condensed a ball of white light in his hand and merged it into Mochizuki Chika's body.

"Things that don't know whether to live or die!"

The weight of the white wall suddenly increased, and the invisible divine power of the Void Realm rapidly dispersed and merged into the white wall.

Several more incantations were activated, and the gate connecting to the darkness burst open.

"Wen Tai, do me a favor."

"..."

The Dark Gate did not respond, but a bottomless dark power surged forth from it.

Soon, the power of darkness forcibly locked onto the location of Red Demon Ichiki, and then, an intense white light flashed and completely erased him.

"Caesar?" Mochizuki Chika opened her eyes groggily.

"You... why are you here?"

"It's alright, get some rest." Caesar patted Mochizuki Chika's head.

"After waking up, Shuangshouge returned to normal." (End of Chapter)
