Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

He would occasionally yell at some lazy guards or followers, scolding them for not being vigilant enough and letting outsiders in.

This behavior perfectly reflects Scar Wolf's anger and heightened vigilance after being provoked.

"Damn it, a bunch of useless trash! They let someone slip away right under our noses! You all better get your act together!"

He roared at several guards at a fork in the road leading to a deeper area.

"Yes...yes, boss!" The guards trembled in fright and quickly straightened their backs.

Under the guise of this patrol, Xiao Ce (Scar Wolf) seemingly casually but actually with a clear goal walked toward the key nodes where explosives were planted.

Scar Wolf's memories were clearly imprinted in his mind, and he knew exactly where every pre-planned detonation point was.

They first arrived near the group of supporting pillars below the main assembly area.

This space is relatively open and is where believers gather to listen to sermons.

Xiao Ce (Scarface) pointed at several thick, rusty load-bearing pillars and roared at a squad leader in charge of guarding the area, "Explosives! Where are the explosives I ordered you to plant? Have you checked them? Is the amount enough? Don't let them fail to detonate properly!"

The foreman hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Don't worry, boss! As you instructed, they've all been buried at the base of the pillars! The gunpowder packets and nitroglycerin barrels are all heavy enough! The fuses have also been checked; there's no chance of anything going wrong!"

He pointed to some marks at the base of the pillar that had been deliberately covered up with debris and rags.

Xiao Ce (Scar Wolf) stepped forward and pretended to kick away some obstructions, revealing a tightly bound explosive pack and a sealed iron barrel underneath.

He crouched down, tapping his rough fingers on the cold metal barrel, producing a dull echo, and muttered under his breath, "Damn it, this thing is precious, keep a close eye on it! If anything goes wrong, I'll skin you alive!"

As he cursed, he used his body as cover to sharply scan the quantity of explosives, their stacking method, and the direction of the fuse connections.

At the same time, his powerful mental energy, like an invisible tentacle, combined with Lingxu's scanning, instantly imprinted all the details of the distribution, yield, and detonation mechanism of the explosives in this place.

Creation One (Dashan) stood silently half a step behind him like a dutiful bodyguard, his tall figure casting a shadow, and his invisible aura made the small leader dare not even breathe.

"Yes! Yes! I'm absolutely confident!" The junior leader, sweating profusely, repeatedly assured them.

"Let's go! Let's look around somewhere else!"

Xiao Ce (Scar Wolf) stood up, dusted off his hands, and led Da Shan to the next point, the ventilation duct connection.

This is the vital airflow point of the entire lair, and also the place where Scar Wolf strategically placed explosives according to the mysterious man's instructions.

Near the narrow duct opening, more disguised boxes were piled up. The guard in charge of the area, seeing Scar Wolf personally inspecting the area, nervously reported: "Boss, as you ordered, the main ventilation shaft and several key points connecting to the sealed chamber have been completely sealed! This will ensure a perfect seal and impact in the event of an explosion!"

Xiao Ce (Scar Wolf) had a gloomy face as he leaned closer to a pipe opening that had been pried open and peered inside.

The inside was indeed packed tightly, and the outline of the bundled explosives could be vaguely seen.

He reached in and tugged hard on the rope connecting the fuse, seemingly testing its sturdiness.

He was actually double-checking the connection method and location, still cursing under his breath: "Stuff it! Stuff it tight! Don't let a single hair escape! I'll fill it with smoke and fire!"

His actions were rough and direct, perfectly in line with Scar Wolf's style. The guard chief had no suspicions and instead thought that his boss was truly meticulous and hands-on.

Finally, and most importantly, directly below the core secret chamber.

This place is even more secluded, with Scar Wolf's most trusted confidants guarding the entrance, and a specific password is required to enter.

Xiao Ce (Scar Wolf) gave the password, and the guards respectfully let him pass.

Inside was a newly excavated pit, at the bottom of which lay several huge oil drums marked with special markings—the most powerful explosives. The pit was filled with a strong earthy smell and a faint, barely perceptible chemical odor.

"Dashan, go down and take a look!" Xiao Ce (Scar Wolf) stood at the edge of the pit and pointed down, ordering him.

He couldn't go down himself; Scar Wolf, as the leader, usually only stood up to supervise.

It is perfectly reasonable to send a trusted confidant to investigate.

"Yes, boss." Da Shan replied and jumped into the deep pit without hesitation.

His movements, though seemingly clumsy, were actually precise. After landing next to the barrel of explosives, he squatted down and carefully felt the cold barrel wall with his rough hands, as if checking the seal and fixation.

"Boss, the bucket is sturdy and well-secured, and the fuse connection is fine," Da Shan reported after completing the inspection.

"Okay! Come on up." Xiao Ce (Scar Wolf) nodded in satisfaction.

"Good! Very good! With these treasures, I'll see if Yin Weiyong's lackeys and that ignorant Xiao Ce dare to come! If they do, they'll taste what it means for the heavens and earth to collapse!"

He said that, but he was really horrified inside—so many explosives.

That so-called Lord, Allah, really is a madman...

If these explosives were detonated, not only would the entire Dragon Guard Ghost City be blown up, but the outer Dragon Guard City itself would likely be destroyed...

Just as he led Dashan out of the tunnel beneath the secret chamber, preparing to patrol other areas, a guard dressed in black robes hurriedly approached.

"Scar Wolf Cult Leader".

"The Lord summons you. Immediately."

Xiao Ce wasn't surprised at all, after all, the commotion outside had been quite significant...

Xiao Ce nodded, then beckoned to another trusted confidant beside him.

This confidant is in charge of explosives matters on this side, and is also Scar Wolf's absolute confidant.

When his trusted aide arrived, Scarface (Xiao Ce) said to the black-robed guard, "I have something to tell you. Tell the lord I'll be there immediately..."

The black-robed guard was one of Scarface's men; he nodded without saying anything.

After his trusted confidant arrived, he looked at Scarface (Xiao Ce) with suspicion.

Scarface (Xiao Ce) said to his trusted aide, "Wang Shui, take my orders and our men... cut off all the connections to these explosives first, then transport them out..."

After hearing Scarface (Xiao Ce)'s words, the confidant thought he had misheard.

After all, he had been following Scarface (Xiao Ce) all the way, and Scarface (Xiao Ce) had been checking whether these explosives were safe.

Before Wang Shui could speak, Scarface (Xiao Ce) said, "Some of Xiao Shen's men have infiltrated outside. They seem to have discovered our secret... We set up these things to kill them. If they set them on fire... wouldn't we be shooting ourselves in the foot?"

Scarface (Xiao Ce) said in an unquestionable voice, "Just do as I say! Of course, it'll be kept secret!"

Wang Shui, a trusted confidant of Scarface (Xiao Ce), nodded first, then hesitated before saying to Scarface (Xiao Ce), "Brother, is this your intention... or..."

Xiao Ce understood from the hypnotized Scarface that he did not want his men to perish together with him, after all, the people here were all the team that Scarface had built up.

Scarface had brought this up with Wang Shui before, because he couldn't bear to see them all perish together.

So, at this moment, Scarface (Xiao Ce) directly used this tactic to say to Wang Shui: "That's what I mean, but I will also persuade the lord, Allah... You don't need to worry about it, just listen to me! Whatever happens, I'll take responsibility. I can't let the team I built up with my own hands turn to ashes... You are all my family..."

Xiao Ce was adept at understanding human nature and knew how to win people's hearts; these were things he could easily control.

The person standing before Xiao Ce was so moved by what he said that they were almost in tears on the spot...
