  “Wang Gang.” Huwang Xiao repeated the name in a sneer, “It’s already been two months. Chen Tianqi and Deities Templar must feel anxious waiting for us, it’s time to let them know that we’ve arrived in Central Oblast!”

  “Let’s go!”

  Huwang Xiao and the rest flew in the direction Zhao Shu indicated earlier. The Asura’s Gate branch was on the Buji Island, located on the south part of the Peach Blossom Sea, in fact, it was near to where Huwang Xiao had appeared previous. Thus, in less than half an hour, they already spotted the Buji Island from a distance away.

  Standing in the air above the Buji Island, Huwang Xiao could see that the island experienced a large land area with a towering city erected in the heart of the island. Although it could not compare to an imperial city, it greatly dwarfed any kingdom’s royal city.

  “Let’s go down.” Huwang Xiao said. Leading the group, he gently floated down to the island.

  Entering Buji City, the first thing Huwang Xiao noticed was that this Buji City was bigger and more prosperous than he had imagined, no less than the imperial cities.

  People bustling with activity could be found everywhere, it was extremely lively.

  Zhao Shu spoke, “Sovereign, this Peach Blossom Sea is resource-rich, from sea beasts to ore mines, spirit herbs, and elixirs, among others. Buji City is one of the main trading hubs, that’s why it’s so busy.”

  Huwang Xiao nodded.

  On both sides of the road, peach blossom trees were planted at intermittent distances, and at the moment of the year, they bloomed gloriously. The peach blossoms added a soothing element to the flurry of activity around.

  ‘If Li Lu was here, she’d like this Buji City.’ The thought flickered in Huwang Xiao’s brain, he understood that Li Lu liked peach blossoms.

  Peach blossoms in the spring were clean and romantic.

  At this time, in Buji City’s Castellan Manor.

  Wang Gang, who had a smaller build than the average men, was listening to his subordinate steward reporting Buji City’s current annual revenue. When the steward was finished with his report, Wang Gang asked, “Recently, has any individual that is out of the ordinary enter Buji City?”

  The steward shook his head, replying that there were none.

  Wang Gang waved his hand at the subordinate, excusing him.

  “Master, is that Huwang Xiao really as frightening as the rumors claim to be?” A young man who has been present the entire time at the side couldn’t resist asking. This young man was Wang Gang’s eldest disciple, Deng Tong.

  Wang Gang gave his eldest disciple a quick glance, saying, “ I know that you are very talented and had a fortuitous adventure in the past, among the younger generation, you have yet to meet anyone that could be your opponent. However, there is a Heaven beyond the Heaven, mountains beyond mountains. Keep in mind Master’s words, never underestimate anyone.”

  Deng Tong possessed a grade thirteen martial soul, and by some fortuitous adventure, swallowed some ancient divine grade nature pellets and elixirs and obtained a distinctive cultivation technique left behind by a historical God Tribe master, enabling him to break through to Saint world in a short hundred years of cultivation. In the Central Oblast and the surrounding oblasts, he previously never met a worthy challenger amongst younger generation.

  Deng Tong was unwilling, “Master, in my opinion, this Huwang Xiao is nothing but a little lucky. If I could get Heavenly Treasures like the God Binding Ring and the Absolute Soul Pearl like him, my cultivation rate would not be slower than his, maybe even faster. Moreover, it's unknown what kind of dog shit luck he ran into, to be able to subjugate a bunch of Poison Corpse Scarabs, that’s about the only thing that other people fear. He has no real power of his own.”

  Wang Gang shook his mind in silence at Deng Tong’s words. He understood that youth got always been a proud and hot-blooded individual.

  “Master, 8 weeks ago, that Huwang Xiao had been in the South Oblast, but he has yet to appear here in the Central Oblast even after two months, he’s probably afraid to show up!” Deng Tong continued, “Who knows, maybe he got wind that Deities Templar’s Grand Elder Liu Yang brought over Divine Dragon Armors and we no longer fear those Poison Corpse Scarabs, that’s why he dares not show up now!”

  Wang Gang’s tone of voice was solemn, “According to Huwang Xiao’s character, it’s probably not the case. If he hasn’t shown up until now, he was most likely delayed by some matters. The point is, we must be careful and take action with caution!”

  Deng Tong snorted with disdain, “Grasp, you’re worrying too much. Other than our Asura’s Gate experts in Central Oblast, there are Deities Templar’s Elders and also Grand Elder Liu Yang. If Huwang Xiao dared showing up, he’d basically be presenting his life on a platter!”

  Wang Gang shook his head, “If Huwang Xiao is so easy to get rid of, then Deities Templar wouldn’t have suffered time and again in his hands.”

  Deng Tong blamed, “Expert, you’re magnifying others’ might and putting ours down. That Huwang Xiao is only a fledgling, too naive. Does he really think that simply getting the Asura Band makes the Asura’s Gate Sovereign? Domain Key Chen Tianqi has a well thought out plan. Grasping the Sovereign position in his hand and allying with Deities Templar, sooner or later we will crush all other forces and conquer Starcloud Continent!”

  “That so-called Cosmos God Cult will be dust under our Asura’s Gate’s glorious reign!” Deng Tong’s sonorous voice echoed in the hall.

  At this precise instant, a soft snicker sounded in the hall, startling the master-disciple pair.

  “Who is it?!” Deng Tong snapped in anger, his momentum rapidly rose.

  Before the two people’s alarmed eyes, space rippled as a black-haired young man, two middle-aged men, and a little child about seven to eight appeared in front of Wang Gang and Deng Tong.

  “Who are you people? Recklessly trespassing into Buji City’s Castellan Manor!” Deng Tong shouted, his hands readied to assault.

  But Wang Gang stopped him: “Wait!” He stood up with a surprised expression.

  Deng Tong might not have recognized these uninvited guests, but as an Asura’s Gate Domain Leader, how could Wang Gang not recognize Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu?

  Wang Gang’s gaze moved away from Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu to the black-haired son in front. Without a doubt, this black-haired young man could only be one person-Huwang Xiao!

  “So it’s Left Custodian Zhao Shu and Right Custodian Zhang Fu.” Wang Gang suppressed the surprise in his center, cupping his hands in salute toward Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu. His attitude could be considered as courteous, but then again, it was only courtesy, there was no hint of respect in his demeanor.

  Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu! Deng Tong’s heart missed a beat hearing their names. In a split second, his sight dropped on Huwang Xiao.

  “Wang Gang, you’re getting more presumptuous! Why aren’t you kneeling in salute viewing the Sovereign?!” Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu rebuked Wang Gang.

  Wang Gang grinned nonchalantly, sarcasm in his tone of voice, “Sovereign? Left Custodian Zhao, Right Custodian Zhang, I think old age has turned both of you muddle-headed. Domain Chief Chen Tianqi has succeeded the Sovereign position, and Sovereign Chen is the real Sovereign of Asura’s Gate. That is acknowledged by everyone in the sect, you want me to kneel in salute for an outsider? I, Wang Gang, am incapable of doing so.”

  As Wang Gang was saying all these, he secretly crushed a transmission jade. Successfully doing so, he felt relieved and more assured, as long as Sovereign Chen received the message he delivered, the experts of Asura’s Gate and Deities Templar would rush to aid him.

  A strong killing intent burst in Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s eyes hearing Wang gang’s words. This Wang Gang dared to call them old and confused?

  “When the Old Sovereign was still around, he had declared that regardless of who it is, the individual who has the Asura Ring will succeed the Sovereign position! ” Zhao Shu continued icily, “Chen Tianqi dared
to self-proclaim as Sovereign. Following the Asura’s Gate rules, those with malicious intentions, trying to usurp the Sovereign’s position, will be treated as Asura’s Gate traitors and given the loss of life penalty without exception! Accomplices receive the same consequence! Wang Gang, if you submit to the Sovereign now, I can speak on your behalf, exempting your death sentence!”

  Unless there is no other option, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu didn’t wish for Huwang Xiao to kill people who submitted under Chen Tianqi, such as Wang Gang, otherwise, the Asura’s Gate would lose more than a dozen Saint realm experts, weakening the sect’s overall strength. At that time, even if Huwang Xiao managed to take over the Asura’ Gate, the sect would be kicked out from its status as one of the twelve super causes on Starcloud Continent.

  Huwang Xiao had yet to utter a word. In fact, Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and Lil’ Tian acquired arrived much earlier than the time these were detected, and were concealed in the dark. Thus, they heard obviously the dialogue between Wang Gang and Deng Tong.

  “Exempt our loss of life penalty?” It was Deng Tong. Sneering, he went on, “That is what we should say to you. To tell you the truth, my Master has already informed Sovereign Chen moments ago. As of this very second, Sovereign Chen and Deities Templar’s experts probably have this place surrounded! None of you can escape!”

  Ch.404

  Deng Tong wasn’t spouting empty threats, for Peach Blossom Sea wasn’t far from the Asura’ Gate headquarters.

  Once Chen Tianqi received the message sent by Wang Gang, hurrying over with Deities Templar experts would require almost no time at all.

  Even though, Deng Tong saw the corners of Huwang Xiao’s mouth area curve up in a mocking smile while exchanging a look with Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu.

  At the time when Huwang Xiao broke to Fourth Order Saint realm, his insights into the binding power of the God Binding Ring deepened. Before he ‘appeared’ in front of Wang Gang and Deng Tong, he ‘binded’ the encompassing space, blocking all connections to the outside world. Thus, he wasn’t in the least concerned about Chen Tianqi finding out anything at all.

  Huwang Xiao viewed Deng Tong as he slowly strode over to him.

  Despite his previous arrogance, Deng Tong inexplicably relocated back watching Huwang Xiao coming towards him. He previously loudly dismissed Huwang Xiao’s strength as weak, not putting him in his eyes, yet coming face to face with Huwang Xiao in person, dread reared its mind in Deng Tong’s center.

  “Summon your martial spirit.” Huwang Xiao commanded with a cold expression.

  Deng Tong blanked.

  “You only have one chance.” Huwang Xiao stated.

  An abrupt holler sounded from Deng Tong, his momentum surged like an angry flood as a giant whale materialized above his head. It had been Deng Tong’s martial heart, Deep Sea Giant Whale. The Deep Sea Large Whale was a peculiar beast of the desolate era, a top grade thirteen martial spirit.

  Deng Tong wasted no time in spirit transforming as soon as his martial soul appeared, instantly affecting the airflow in the whole hall, causing it to turn viscous like water, even emitting a slight salty-fishy smell of the ocean.

  It was as if everyone in the hall was transported in to the deep sea.

  This is the Deep Sea Giant Whale’s innate ability, naturalizing a foreign environment to become its territory. When the surrounding environment was naturalized, it significantly enhanced Deng Tong’s strength, at the same time, it weakened the opponent’s power.

  “Huwang Xiao, do you have the guts to fight me counting on your own strength?!” The desire for battle was ablaze in Deng Tong’s eye: “Without using those Poison Corpse Scarabs or any Heavenly Treasures heritage skills!”

  Huwang Xiao simply replied: “Make your move.” Not even summoning his martial spirits.

  Seeing that Huwang Xiao didn’t even summon his martial spirits, a naked face-slapping humiliation in his eyes, fury burnt in Deng Tong.

  “Great Sea Devour!” He bellowed, his jaws wide opened up as though he was going to swallow Huwang Xiao whole. A powerful devouring force pulled everything toward Deng Tong.

  Despite that, Deng Tong saw Huwang Xiao standing steady under his powerful suction force, not to mention Huwang Xiao himself, not the edge of his robe fluttered in the slightest.

  Deng Tong was taken aback.

  While Deng Tong was immersed in his shock, Huwang Xiao made his move, his right hands clenched into a fist. Just a simple, crude punch accurately strike Deng Tong’s face.

  Sounds of breaking bones resounded in the air. Within the next second, Deng Tong’s whole person was hurtled into the air, knocking down a stone pillar in the hall and continued to slam into a wall behind it. Rubble from the wall fell to the floor.

  Deng Tong struggled to get up. Everyone could see clearly that the right side of his face was ruined, eye crooked, mouth shifted to a peculiar angle, and his entire neck was twisted to the left side in an irrevocable damage.

  Huwang Xiao approach with a deadpan appearance.

  When Huwang Xiao was in the Blessed Buddha Empire some time ago, he previously yet to advance to Fourth Order Saint realm, but even the Chen Family’s top three Fourth Order Saint realms together weren’t Huwang Xiao’s opponents, whereas it hadn’t even been a decade since this Deng Tong stepped into Saint realm, how could he be Huwang Xiao’s opposition?

  “Mad Bear Palm!” A violent surging current targeted at Huwang Xiao from behind. Watching his eldest disciple fall at a disadvantage, Wang Gang could no more stand still and snuck an strike on Huwang Xiao from the back.

  Just as Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were about to assist, Huwang Xiao spun back, countering Wang Gang with a hand. A golden light lit up the hall as Buddhism energy filled the environment.

  Bang! A loud explosion resounded, next came Wang Gang’s painful wail as he flew out, just like his disciple occasions earlier, crashing heavily to the ground. Tremors ran through the ground from the impact.

  Wang Gang was by no means weak, but then again, he was merely an early on Fifth Order Saint world. If it was the Huwang Xiao who had yet to progress to 4th Order Saint realm, in order to defeat Wang Gang, he’d need to exert a little more effort, but for the current Huwang Xiao, it was an easy thing.

  Crashing to the floor, Wang Gang spewed bloodstream over and over.

  “Get better at!” Deng Tong cried out in disbelief. His Master was a Fifth Order Saint world expert, yet his Get good at failed to withstand one palm strike from Huwang Xiao? Moreover, Huwang Xiao did not even call out his martial spirits, and didn't soul transform. Just his physical toughness reached this horrifying extent!

  At this moment, Deng Tong finally understood that the real Huwang Xiao was even scarier than the gossips.

  Huwang Xiao’s cold gaze fell on Wang Gang, “Wang Gang, considering the contributions you made to Asura’s Gate for the last several century, I’m giving you another chance, submit to me now and I will spare your life.”

  Wang Gang smiled through his misery, “Huwang Xiao, say no more. I am only loyal to Sovereign Chen, I'll never post to you, the other Domain name Leaders are the same, all of us are faithful and will only serve under Sovereign Chen. You want to be Asura’s Gate Sovereign? Impossible!”

  On Wang Gang’s last syllable, Huwang Xiao raised a finger, the Complete Spirit Finger penetrated a gap through Wang Gang’s mind through his brows.

  Blood spurted out like a fountain to the ground. Wang Gang’s eye widened in surprise before his eyes dimmed, tumbling down.

  Perhaps Wang Gang assumed that Huwang Xiao wouldn’t kill him so easily.

  Deng Tong stared stupidly at the corpse of his Professional, Wang Gang.

  A Fifth Order Saint realm died just like that?! Ended…?!

  He looked at Huwang Xiao, the fear in his eye heightened. For the first time in his life, he was feeling the horror of death.

  Especially when Huwang Xiao looked straight at him.

  “Huwang Xiao, don’t wipe out me, I, I could
submit for you!” Deng Tong blurted out the thing he could think of.

  “Submit if you ask me?” Huwang Xiao sneered, “Weren’t you boasting earlier that your dear Sovereign Chen has everything well planned and everything the makes on Starcloud Continent would be conquered by him eventually? Why are you betraying your Sovereign Chen so willingly now?”

  Deng Tong didn’t know how to answer. He realized that Huwang Xiao heard everything that was said between his grasp and him.

  Huwang Xiao raised his hand again.

  Deng Tong’s pupils shrank with fear and his silhouette flickered, wanting to get away, however, the moment he moved, Huwang Xiao’s finger imprint pierced through his skull.

  Looking at both corpses, Huwang Xiao transferred them in to the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, to be devoured by the Poison Corpse Scarabs so that they could continue evolving. Cleaning up the scene slightly, together with Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and Lil’ Tian, the four of these disappeared from the building.

  Leaving Buji City, Huwang Xiao did not head to the Asura’s Gate headquarters immediately, instead, they visited another branch.

  Night slowly took over the sky.

  On the south side of Central Oblast, undulated mountains shaped the earth, resembling a phoenix. When night arrived, those mountains glimmered faintly. This was the Heavenly Sky Phoenix Mountain. Asura’s Gate headquarters was on the highest peak of this Heavenly Sky Phoenix Hill.

  At this hour, in the great hall of Asura’s Gate headquarters, Chen Tianqi, clad within an ink-black robe, was sitting on the majestic throne. The faint black patterns at the edges of his eyes appeared to throb with an eerie dark light.

  Ever since Huwang Xiao appeared in Starcloud Continent’s South Oblast, Chen Tianqi had ordered all the Website Leaders to report to him every day at this hour the situation in their branch. But, just now, Peach Blossom Sea’s Wang Gang and Harmony Valley’s Lin Gun did not report to him.

  Which meant there was problem: both of them met with mishap!

  “Huwang Xiao, you’re finally here!” Chen Tianqi muttered to himself, his body shrouded in a silvery white light as an extreme warring thirst burst out.
