It seems there were already people who managed to break through the ban positioned at the Dragon Tomb entry, fast approaching the Dragon God Palace. Judging from the noise, it was quite a big number of people, furthermore, each one was no weaker than himself.
Huwang Xiao swiftly threw all the remaining grade one spirit stones to the guts of Ten Buddha Development, Buddhism energy broke out in angry waves. He quickly shifted the twelfth crystal statue into Xumi Temple. Before he could start on the thirteenth crystal statue, the front area of Dragon God Palace shone in a dazzling bright light as a dozen people appeared.
“Li Molin!” Huwang Xiao noticed that Li Molin was among the people who arrived.
Ch.364
Viewing Li Molin’s group, Huwang Xiao’s nerves stretched taut, quickly converging all the Buddhism energy moving out from the Godly Mt. Xumi, once more shrinking right down to dirt particle and naturally falling to the floor.
Although Huwang Xiao had previously maneuvered the Godly Mt. Xumi at night detection of top late-Tenth Order Saint realm undead bone dragon guardian, the bone dragon was a ‘deceased’ entity at its core, whereas Li Molin and her group were genuine Tenth Order Saint world in the flesh. If Huwang Xiao was found, there was only death at the end of the tunnel!
Li Molin and the rest ran into the hall, eye shining staring at the remaining twelve crystal statues on the altars, but when they spotted the dozen empty altars on the remaining, everyone was stunned.
“Why is this? Can it be there was someone else that emerged in faster than us and had taken away the other twelve primordial divine dragons?!” Yao Shan blurted.
“Not only that, the legendary Dragon Pearl is also gone!” Another Deities Templar Elder pointed out.
Li Molin’s eyes turned chilly, scanning around the great hall such as a hawk, her icy tone of voice sounded: “The entire way coming in here, we did not see anyone, see your face should still be inside here. Everyone search carefully, dig that person out! The Temple Preceptor has ordered, we absolutely must get the Dragon Pearl!”
Yao Shan and the others complied together, separated and went to search in various directions, looking at every nook and cranny. Whereas Zhou Zheng, who stood beside Li Molin, two lines of flames made an appearance in the depth of his eye, fine golden light beams shot out from his eyes, sweeping over the entire great hall.
Viewing this, Huwang Xiao’s nerves tightened another notch, he understood that man was displaying a kind of skill that could penetrate others’ concealment fight skill ability.
Occasions later, Zhou Zheng moved as if he detected something, his ft moving slowly in the Godly Mt. Xumi’s direction. Seeing his actions, Li Molin adopted carefully behind him.
One step… two steps…! Both of these were getting nearer to where Huwang Xiao was.
Huwang Xiao’s deep breathing became chaotic.
Both of them stopped three meters from Huwang Xiao, it was as of this precise second that sounds of breaking wind originated from the Dragon God Palace’s entrance as another group of individuals burst in to the hall.
“Asura’s Gate!” Huwang Xiao noted the way these group dressed, uttering in shock. His gaze shifted onto the high man in the middle, wearing an ink dark robe. The corners of his eyes were dotted with faint black patterns.
Chen Tianqi?! Huwang Xiao’s eye narrowed. So this was Asura’s Gate Main Domain Chief, his Senior Sibling Chen Tianqi?
However, instead of worrying, Huwang Xiao was ecstatic instead with Asura’s Gate group arrival. Sure enough, Chen Tianqi’s arrival fascinated Li Molin’s group’s attention, creating a rivalry.
Deities Templar and Asura’s Gate began snatching the remaining twelve crystal sculptures of primordial ancient divine dragons. Not long after Chen Tianqi’s group burst into the hall, the Beastmen Clan from Ten Directions Continent also showed up, joining the fray without hesitation.
Seizing the opportunity within the chaos, Huwang Xiao carefully maneuvered the Godly Mt. Xumi toward the exit, leaving the Dragon God Palace, traveling all the way before Dragon Tomb’s entry, however, Huwang Xiao didn't immediately leave. This true dragon substance was nutrients, of course he couldn’t let it go to waste.
He activated the 1000 Demon Engulfing Damage Array inside the Thousands of Beast Cauldron, sucking in every the true dragon substance in the air in to the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. The space within the Linglong Treasure Pagoda was limitless, therefore Huwang Xiao placed this true dragon fact at a different place than the dragon aura clouds he sucked in earlier.
After a while, deciding it was enough, Huwang Xiao stopped, put away the Linglong Treasure Pagoda and exited the Dragon Tomb. When he came out, he appeared at the same square with the rock stele.
Huwang Xiao was secretly relieved as he viewed the 12 primordial divine dragon corpses sealed inside the crystal statues in the Xumi Temple, a gush of pleasure washing over him. This trip to the Origin Forest was the biggest harvest of his life. Especially getting the Dragon Clan’s best treasure, the Dragon Pearl.
In a flicker, Huwang Xiao disappeared from the Dragon City square, summoning Zhao Shu, huge ghost Feng Yang, Duan Ren, and the rest using a transmission talisman. He found Dragon Blood Crystals, Divine Dragon Pills, primordial historic divine dragons’ corpses, and the Dragon Pearl. It had been time to leave.
He knew there would be many more treasures round the Dragon City, but Huwang Xiao was content.
Afterwards, Zhao Shu and Feng Yang regrouped with Huwang Xiao. When he noticed their excited encounters, Huwang Xiao surmised that both found some good things as well. Yet, Duan Ren’s group still hadn’t shown themselves after a long time.
Huwang Xiao frowned, they might have come across some trouble, otherwise, they wouldn’t simply ignore his message.
“Probably, something happened on Duan Ren’s aspect.” Zhao Shu was the first to say it out.
Huwang Xiao nodded. Then, the transmission talisman in Huwang Xiao’s palm shook, his spiritual sense swept over it, getting the call for help from Duan Ren’s side.
“They're in trouble, let’s go!” Huwang Xiao urged. Huwang Xiao flew in front, leading Zhao Shu and Feng Yang to Duan Ren’s location.
Huwang Xiao flew at his fastest speed, and very soon, the three of these sensed strong fluctuations up ahead. Clearly, there have been Saint realm experts battling. Feeling the strong energy fluctuations, Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and Feng Yang increased their rate.
A brief minute later, Huwang Xiao saw Duan Ren fighting with a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe.
The dragon on the middle-aged man’s robe was a green dragon, a powerful atmosphere surging from him, overwhelming Duan Ren’s. In their fight, Duan Ren dropped at a great disadvantage, Huwang Xiao could inform that the other side wasn't in a hurry to destroy Duan Ren, or he wouldn’t have lasted this long.
Huwang Xiao was stunned, who was this middle-aged man? He eyes surveyed the surroundings, noticing that some distance away five individuals were sieging both Duanren Institute’s Honorable Saint Masters. That five people surprised Huwang Xiao, for he recognized them, these were Snow Dragon City’s disciples who entered the Ghost City. At that time, Snow Dragon City, Imperial Saber City, and Green Ghost City all delivered disciples to explore the Ghost King’s cultivation cave.
That’s right, amongst the five people encircling the two Duanren Institute Saint experts were Snow Dragon City’s Li Qiuping and Wang Lin. Viewing the two of them, a thought flashed in Huwang Xiao’s mind; Snow Dragon City’s Castellan, Silver Dragon Ao Gu? One of Bedlam Lands’ top ten experts!
“You go save Duan Ren.” Huwang Xiao thought to Zhao Shu.
“Yes, Young Lord.” Zhao Shu acknowledged Huwang Xiao’s order, disappearing in a flicker, moving to strike Silver Dragon Ao Gu. Huwang Xiao did not waste time himself, attacking Li Qiuping and Wang Lin together with Feng Yang.
Metallic Dragon Ao Gu began to feel boring playing with Duan Ren and was going to kill him off when a powerful energy came tearing
toward him. Alarmed, Ao Gu struck an attack to the back without any hesitation. In the collision, he was forced back again several meters.
Almost at the same time, Li Qiuping and Wang Lin were also forced back by Huwang Xiao and Feng Yang.
Sterling silver Dragon Ao Gu looked dignified, questioning Zhao Shu: Who are you?” From that attack just now, this person rivaled him in power.
Li Qiuping retreated to Metallic Dragon Ao Gu’s part, respectfully saying, “Master, that kid is Huwang Xiao.”
“Huwang Xiao!” Sterling silver Dragon Ao Gu implemented Li Qiuping’s line of sight, glancing at Huwang Xiao. He was stunned, the incident in Rising Sun City about Huwang Xiao eliminating Deities Templar’s Elder Yao Fei was a hot topic, even Silver Dragon Ao Gu experienced inevitably heard of it.
Ch.365
Silver precious metal Dragon Ao Gu observed Huwang Xiao from check out toe with interest.
Since the incident at Rising Sunlight City, all causes and families’ hottest topic of discussion was Huwang Xiao-the Martial Spirit World’s most awe-inspiring talent in history, no matter who it was, they would show some interest.
Gold Dragon Ao Gu was no exception.
Until this moment, Silver Dragon Ao Gu still didn’t know that his most favored female disciple, Li, was killed by Huwang Xiao. If he knew, he probably wouldn’t be admiring Huwang Xiao as he was doing now.
“Brother Duan Ren, what happened just now?” Huwang Xiao asked Duan Ren.
Seeing Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and Feng Yang arriving just with time, Duan Ren was greatly relieved inside his heart.
The cusp of the matter was that Duan Ren found a Dragon Clan weapon and ran into Metallic Dragon Ao Gu after that, who wished to snatch it from Duan Ren’s hands, thus both sides started to fight.
“Let’s go.” Huwang Xiao said after he noticed what happened.
Since Duan Ren was alright, Huwang Xiao preferred to avoid a frontal confrontation with Sterling silver Dragon Ao Gu at this instant. Although he didn't know Ao Gu’s true strength, with his standing as one of Bedlam Lands’ top experts, it could take quite an effort for Zhao Shu to defeat him. Moreover, if Snow Dragon City’s people were here, then people from Sin City, Imperial Saber City, and Green Ghost City would be close by as well.
Huwang Xiao didn’t want to spend your time here, if folks from Sin City rushed over, it might be much harder for him to leave in those days. The most urgent matter right now was to leave the Dragon City as soon as possible and find a safe place to refine the Dragon Pearl, Dragon Bloodstream Crystals, and the twelve primordial divine dragon corpses.
About Huwang Xiao wanting to leave, Duan Ren and both other Saint realm experts had no objection.
But Li Qiuping, who was simply standing up next to Silver Dragon Ao Gu snapped, “Presumptuous! Huwang Xiao, who allowed you to leave?!” He took a step forward, planning to block Huwang Xiao’s group’s path.
However, Metallic Dragon Ao Gu elevated a hand to stop Li Qiuping saying, “Let them leave.”
Li Qiuping was stunned, “Master, this..?!”
Magic Dragon Ao Gu didn’t say another word, watching the number of leaving silhouettes.
“Master, then the Dragon Blood Blade, are we letting it go just like this?” Wang Lin was reluctant.
The weapon Duan Ren found was called Dragon Bloodstream Knife. Though it couldn't compare to the Great Dragon Saber that Huwang Xiao found, it was still a divine grade weapon.
Silver Dragon Ao Gu snapped, “Then, what should be done? Are you assured you can keep them here?” Even Deities Templar’s Elder Li Molin needed to flee in the battle from Rising Sun City, although he, Sterling silver Dragon Ao Gu, got yet to test his mettle against Li Molin before, he understood his strength was not much higher than Li Molin’s.
Li Qiuping and Wang Lin hung their mind down, not daring to utter another term.
“Let’s go, there should be a lot more weapons left behind by the Dragon Clan Elders, search for the rest of the others.” Silver Dragon Ao Gu spoke with finality in his voice and vanished from view in a flicker.
Li Qiuping and others quickly followed.
Leaving the scene, Huwang Xiao’s group headed straight to the space leave. Inside a blink, they were transferred back again to the same tranquil ravine bottom level. In a few quick leaps in the ravine wall space, Huwang Xiao and his group reached the top of the ravine.
From there, they rushed right out of the Origin Forest, leaving its sphere in just a few times’ time. Leaving behind the foundation Forest, Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, Duan Ren, and the others sped completely back to Duanren Empire.
Due to the fact that they didn't take many breaks along the way, in two a month’s time, the six of them stepped into Duanren Imperial City.
The moment Huwang Xiao returned to the Southern Hill Estate, he told his family to bring only the necessities and led them out of Duanren Imperial City.
Now, Huwang Xiao’s plan was to discover a place that would allow him time for you to refine the Dragon Pearl, Dragon Blood Crystals, and the other things. Staying in Duanren Imperial City wasn’t safe anymore.
In the Rising Sun City’s battle, Huwang Xiao had exposed himself to have the God Binding Ring and Absolute Soul Pearl, although most mediocre forces wouldn’t be brave enough to take advantage of him, there is still an one in a million chance. Not to mention, once the Old Dragon Clan ruins expedition in the Origin Forest ended, Deities Templar would come looking for trouble with him, and the chances of them using his family to threaten him were pretty high. It wasn’t totally safe despite having Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu around, therefore Huwang Xiao made a decision to move his family from Duanren Imperial City first.
As for where to go, Huwang Xiao already figured it out-the bottom of the Broken Tiger Rift.
The bottom of the Broken Tiger Rift, with the extreme cold wind natural barrier, was temporarily the safest place. Furthermore, there was the Eminent Holiness’ key cultivation cave below the cool lake.
The beauty of Eminent Holiness’s cultivation cave was like a Promise Land, it was a good place for his family to live and cultivate. Of course, this arrangement was temporary. When Huwang Xiao felt that his power was sufficient to rival Deities Templar, he would move his family back again to Duanren Imperial City.
As a precaution, Huwang Xiao even brought his younger sister Huwang Min, brother-in-law Guo Tai, and nephew Guo Xiaofan collectively.
Two weeks later, Huwang Xiao brought his family to underneath of the Broken Tiger Rift, entering the Eminent Holiness’ cultivation cave space through the cold lake.
Everyone exclaimed in awe taking a look at the beautiful scenery of Eminent Holiness’ cultivation cave. The little guy Guo Xiaofan’s little hands clapped merrily, apparent he also liked the place very much.
The spiritual energy in the space was just as rich, even though all the herbs and elixirs were recinded by Huwang Xiao previously. In a way, for Huwang Peng, Su Yan, and others, cultivating here would be more beneficial than in Duanren Imperial City’s Southern Hill Property.
Still, there were only a few grass huts inside the Eminent Holiness’ cultivation space, so Huwang Xiao tasked Yu Ming, Fei Hou, Haotian, and the others to build more huts and simple rooms. Huwang Xiao already acquired the necessary materials readied. Before departing Duanren Imperial City, Huwang Xiao had Yu Ming, Fei Hou, and some servants buy good quality wood.
Other than his family, Huwang Xiao also brought Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Yu Ming, Fei Hou, Haotian, and several guards and maidservants. These guards and maidservants were the same ones that followed his parents, Huwang Peng and Su Yan, from the Huwang Clan Manor to Duanren Imperial City and were absolutely loyal.
Very soon, the new huts were ready.
But Huwang Xiao didn't enter closed-door practice immediately, taking out a portion of the real dragon essence from the Linglong Treasure Pagoda and dividing it to everyone there for their cultivation. This true dragon substance greatly benefited the human being physica
l body.
Then Huwang Xiao took away a hundred bits of Dragon Bloodstream Crystal, distributing them to his parents, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the others.
It was one month after arriving in Eminent Holiness’ cultivation space that Huwang Xiao entered the Xumi Temple to start his closed-door practice.
In the Xumi Temple, Huwang Xiao took out the Dragon Clan’s great treasure, the Dragon Pearl. The Dragon Pearl hovered in front of Huwang Xiao, emitting the same soft fantastic halo that enveloped him in a comfortable light.
Inside the Dragon Pearl, that shadow of the divine dragon was hazy as ever.
Repressing the excitement in his heart, Huwang Xiao decreased a drop of blood vessels on the Dragon Pearl’s surface. The scarlet drop was instantly consumed into the Dragon Pearl, the golden halo becoming a notch brighter.
Subsequently, Huwang Xiao ran the true essence energy from his dantian, infusing it in to the Dragon Pearl as he started refining it.
Time flowed, days passed.
Not Huwang Xiao knew just how many times passed when the vague dragon shadow inside the Dragon Pearl seemed to come alive. An extended humming noise came from the Dragon Pearl as it floated over to Huwang Xiao.
Ch.366
The Dragon Pearl flew towards Huwang Xiao, circling around him while releasing rings of golden light that went into Huwang Xiao’s body like a never-ending tide of golden waves.
Huwang Xiao bathed in the golden halo, it felt extremely warm and comfortable, akin to an infant inside the mother’s womb.
The battle qi inside Huwang Xiao’s Qi Sea continued to multiply, the real essence energy within his dantian grew stronger.
Time flowed as the Dragon Pearl rotated around Huwang Xiao, gradually enhancing the dragon aura inside his body. The Dragon Pearl transferred closer and closer to Huwang Xiao.
