"Hmph, Xi Luo, you're getting more cunning by the day, and you've even led Morova astray..."

Just as these words were spoken, the red-haired youth, Morova, suddenly stopped in front, bringing the casual conversation from the back of the group to an abrupt halt.

"What's wrong? Morova," Xi Luo asked, stepping forward. He knew his companion must have sensed something was off.

"In that direction, there's a massive fluctuation of magical energy," Morova said, closing his eyes for a moment.

"That direction... This is bad; it's our destination—the Hua Yin Tower!" Chen Xuanfeng exclaimed in surprise.

"Let's go!" Morova said, grabbing Xi Luo without another word. In an instant, their figures moved like lightning, dashing forward.

Werewolf Hero Arc, Chapter 31: Sealing Magic and Banning Martial Arts with a Thousand Schemes

Robbery is an ancient profession, dating back to the times when angelic demons and dragon titans roamed the Mainland. The reason this profession has been passed down through the ages is that it brings great benefits and enjoyment to the robber. According to an ancient text recording the deeds of the gods, *The Words of the Gods*, even the great Dragon God once said, "The most beautiful thing in the world is to rob the jewels of other gods, plunder their palaces, listen to their roars and cries, and sleep upon the stolen treasures."

These words became a celebrated creed among dragons of later generations.

In another ancient text recording the words of ancient dragons—*Famous Sayings of Ancient Dragons*—a legendary dragon once said, "Nothing is more delightful than robbing two rich men, if robbing one is delightful."

These words could very well describe Chen Xuanfeng's mood at the moment.

Through the broken door, the top floor of the Magic Tower was revealed to be a vast, empty hall, a hundred meters in diameter. At the opposite end, two elderly mages in grand magus robes, along with four or five young people, were standing ready for battle.

Chen Xuanfeng was surprised to see two glowing, peculiar crystals floating before the two elders. The werewolf, having seen an ice-based 'forbidden spell seal crystal' before, immediately recognized that the complex cores within these crystals were capable of triggering forbidden spell powers.

There were two of them?

At that moment, Li Jia stepped forward and said softly, "Sir, according to the intelligence I've gathered, the red-robed elder on the left should be the Fire Grand Magus 'Red Mage' Lifa, and the white-robed one on the right should be the Wind Grand Magus 'Wind Journey Mage' Yodila. The 'Red Mage' is the royal magus of the Onyx Kingdom where we are now, while Yodila, known as the 'Wind Journey Mage,' is usually always on the move. Based on the fluctuations, those two crystals are 'Seal of Fire—Courage' and 'Seal of Wind—Spirituality.' It seems they were lured by the bait, and we've stumbled upon a meeting of two forbidden spell mages."

Chen Xuanfeng nodded slightly, his heart filled with wild joy, knowing that he had hit the jackpot. Usually, these forbidden spell mages hid better than anyone else, and even within the Mages' Guild, few knew their identities. This time, using the forbidden spell data of the Twelve Sages as bait, they had hoped to catch at least one. They hadn't expected, with the blessing of the war god and the defection of the Light God, that they would run into a situation where two forbidden spell mages were meeting.

What Chen Xuanfeng didn't know was that this opportunity was even rarer than he thought. Yodila, known as the "Wind Journey Mage," was usually never in one place for long. No one knew his whereabouts except himself, and the Magic Guild could only contact him through periodic messages. This time, upon hearing about the important documents, he had come specifically to the Magic Tower of the 'Red Mage' Lifa to make a copy for study. He wouldn't stay longer than three hours. If Chen Xuanfeng's group had blocked the area any later, this Wind Grand Magus would have vanished without a trace.

Seeing that the intruders didn't attack immediately but instead whispered among themselves, the mages, who were already on high alert, couldn't help but speak up.

The fiery red-robed Grand Magus Lifa shouted angrily, "Intruders, who are you, and why have you invaded my Magic Tower and slaughtered my guards?"

Though his words carried weight, for someone known as the "Red Mage," choosing to ask instead of attacking was already a sign of weakness. If the intruders weren't so overwhelmingly powerful, the "Red Mage" would have unleashed a barrage of fireballs without a second thought.

Unfortunately for the tower's owner, he had watched the intrusion process clearly through the surveillance system. A top-tier sword king with two epic blades, a powerful magician on par with him, and a formidable maid who could easily dismantle all magical traps—not to mention the two fierce elves outside the tower. Such a display of strength forced even a Grand Magus to be cautious. Even though the hall was filled with hidden magical defenses, the likelihood of defeating the intruders was slim.

With these concerns, even a forbidden spell mage had to suppress his temper and hope to find a way to defeat the enemy through probing. At the same time, he secretly glared at the "Wind Journey Mage" Yodila. Due to his temper, the "Red Mage" hadn't gathered any sword king-level warriors to guard him, relying only on the hired fighters outside the Magic Tower. In contrast, the "Wind Journey Mage" usually had a human sword king and a half-elf grand swordmaster following him. If he hadn't been careless and left them behind, using a teleportation circle to come alone, they wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation now. Though Chen Xuanfeng's group was well-prepared, they didn't dare to be careless. After all, they were facing two forbidden spell mages. The world of magic was boundless, and no one knew how many tricks a Grand Magus might have up their sleeve. Therefore, instead of attacking immediately, Chen Xuanfeng smiled and brazenly said, "'Sup, I'm Du Xifa, and I used to be part of the 'Black Knight Legion' of the Viking Empire. However, as both of you masters know, my homeland has been occupied by the wretched orcs, so now I belong to the 'Viking Restoration Front' special operations group. It is both my responsibility and my dream to restore my great homeland, and for that, I am willing to give everything."
