  Ch.401

  As those words drummed into Gu Feng’s ears, his legs grew soft and buckled down.

  “Young Noble, I, I, I made a momentarily mistake, it’s, it’s actually close to forty thousand years!” Gu Feng quivered.

  “A momentary mistake?” Huwang Xiao sneered.

  Exactly at this moment, the sound of sharp whistling wind came from outside the hall. In a flicker, a group of people led by an old man in red robes and a head full of gray hair appeared in front of everyone in the hall.

  “Mister Luo Yun!” The look of despair, fear, and hopelessness on Gu Feng’s face vanished like the sun coming out behind the clouds the moment he saw the old man.

  Gu Feng felt like he had just run a lap around death’s door.

  Needless to say, Luo Yun was a Xiantian realm expert.

  Luo Yun was secretly relieved seeing that Yang Ying was unharmed when he arrived, “Miss, are you alright?”

  “I’m fine.” Yang Ying’s heart calmed down as if she found her pillar of strength.

  Gu Feng, who was kneeling before Huwang Xiao, turned over in Luo Yun’s direction. Then he swiftly getting up to his feet, seeking safety at Luo Yun’s side, “Mister Luo, you must save me.”

  The Archaic Peak Appraisal Firm and Aowu Shop had always maintained a good business cooperation. In these hundred years, it was only due to Archaic Maximum Appraisal Firm’s assistance that Aowu Shop was able to amass its amazing wealth.

  Luo Yun nodded at him before turning to Huwang Xiao’s group. But when he noticed the two giant puppets among the group, he paused for a second, revealing a contemplative expression.

  In this short span of time, sounds of rushing wind continued to echo as Aowu Shop’s line-up of Elders arrived one after another.

  This scene made Yang Ying and Gu Feng’s worries disappear completely.

  Yang Ying said to Luo Yun, “Mister Luo Yun, just now this lowly commoner insulted me with vulgar words, help me cut off his tongue as punishment!” Those beautiful eyes shone with anger as her finger pointed at Huwang Xiao.

  Luo Yun and all Aowu Shop Elders’ attention focused on Huwang Xiao. However, as though having Huwang Xiao’s tongue take off wasn’t enough to vent Yang Ying’s anger, she added another sentence in a sharp voice: “Then dig out his eye!”

  Despite that, Luo Yun looked as if he didn’t hear Yang Ying’s words, the contemplative expression remained on his face.

  “Mister Luo Yun!” Noticing that her words seemed to fell on deaf ears, Yang Ying increased her tone of voice another notch.

  This time, Luo Yun was pulled out from his thoughts.

  Still, Luo Yun did not act upon Yang Ying’s request immediately. Organizing his thoughts, he thought to Yang Ying, “Miss, I have already sent people to inform the Castellan. He will be arriving shortly, let us wait for the Castellan to decide on this matter.”

  Yang Ying was stunned, half thinking that her ears must have heard wrong. As South Oblast City Castellan Manor’s Chief Steward, Luo Yun had always acted decisively and ruthlessly. In the past, if something similar to today's events happened, Luo Yun would’ve made a move by now, annihilating the other part down to the very last one! But this time, Luo Yun dared not act?!

  Dare not act?

  But, before Yang Ying could speak again, Huwang Xiao’s voice sounded: “Kill them!”

  The two giant puppets behind Huwang Xiao moved. One cornered Luo Yun, while the other faced the entire group of Aowu Shop Elders.

  Luo Yun was greatly shocked, the speed of the giant puppet was way faster than his reaction velocity. The huge puppet experienced already raised its palm, striking Luo Yun’s chest.

  “Spirit Ape Steps!” At the last moment, Luo Yun was jolted to his senses. His body spun away, agile like a spirit ape, exerting all his effort to dodge the attack. At the same time, Luo Yun’s hand aimed at the large puppet’s torso.

  “Demon King Shaking Heaven Palm!”

  The palm attack howled in the air, exuding a whelming demonic aura.

  The Soul Ape Steps was a movement technique that Luo Yun found in an ancient cultivation cave, an unique technique belonging to a God Realm master.

  However, just as Luo Yun executed the beginning of his Nature Ape Steps, a tyrannical power surged toward him as the giant puppet’s palm struck his upper body. Simultaneously, Luo Yun’s palm landed on the huge puppet’s torso.

  Two resounding blasts rang out in the air, followed by a tragic wail. The present people noticed the mighty Castellan Manor Main Steward Luo Yun fall from the air, akin to a broken kite, whereas the large puppet merely wavered slightly, retreating two steps.

  Yang Ying, the Archaic Top Appraisal Firm’s Boss Gu Feng, and the others around watched as Luo Yun’s body flew passed them, crashing into the opposite side of the street. Luo Yun’s entire chest sunk in a gruesome manner as blood spurted out from his mouth uncontrollably.

  Another scream resounded in the hall as another human figure was sent flying. From his robe, it was clear that person was one of Aowu Shop’s Elder. The strongest amongst these Aowu Shop Elder was merely peak late-Xiantian Tenth Order, how could they resist against a Tenth Order Saint realm puppet’s attack?

  In front of Yang Ying, Gu Feng, and everyone’s horrified eyes, these Aowu Shop Elders that rushed over were swiftly dealt with by both giant puppets in a few breaths’ time.

  Once again, the spacious hall fell into a restless silence.

  A raspy tone of voice broke the silence, coming from Luo Yun as he struggled to stand up, his eyes staring fixedly at the two large puppets with undisguisable dread.

  “Mid-level Saint realm?!” His voice was shaky. That hit he took from the giant puppet definitely contained the power of a mid-level Saint world expert.

  He had spent the last few century practicing the Heart Ape Steps and enhancing his physical body’s defense. By now, it was much stronger than average experts on the same level, comparable to Second Order Saint realm’s physical toughness. Only Fourth Order Saint realm experts were capable of injuring him to this extent.

  Fourth Order Saint realm! Yang Ying, Gu Feng, and the rest felt their minds hum staring at the huge puppets, dumbfounded.

  In the next moment, a question struck them. If these two giants were that black-haired young man’s guards, then that black-haired young man…?!

  Huwang Xiao stood up at this time, approaching Luo Yun in slow unhurried stride. When he passed Yang Ying and Gu Feng, both of them stiffened in fear, not even a hair dared to move.

  “Who are you really?” Seeing Huwang Xiao coming at him, Luo Yun staggered back.

  “Who I am is not important.” Huwang Xiao shook his head. At the end of that phrase, he raised a finger. The Absolute Soul Finger shrouded with true essence fire burned a hole through the center of Luo Yun’s eyebrows.

  Luo Yun’s eyes widened as though he never imagined that Huwang Xiao would kill him, more precisely, would be able to kill him.

  Vitality slipped away form Luo Yun’s body and he tumbled down heavily.

  With a casual wave, Huwang Xiao kept Luo Yun’s body and his spatial ring in to the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. Knowing that the Poison Corpse Scarabs could evolve, he planned to put Luo Yun’s Saint world corpse to good use.

  Huwang Xiao turned around, his attention on Yang Ying and Gu Feng.

  “No, don’t get rid of me personally!” Yang Ying’s delicate face turned pallid, shaking her mind as she pleaded in dread.

  Huwang Xiao raised a finger again, the force instantly penetrated Gu Feng’s temple. Blood splattered all over Yang Ying’s face. Watching Gu Feng’s body falling in her path, her shrill scream rendered the hall.

  “Let’s go.” Huwang Xiao said to Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and Lil�
� Tian.

  Go? Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were baffled. They assumed that Huwang Xiao’s initial plan was to lure South Oblast City’s Castellan, Yang Liang, and the person behind him, Yang Qing over, then kill both of these once and for all. Why did Sovereign change his mind all of a sudden?

  Despite their doubt, neither asked anything, merely complied with respect.

  Inside a flicker, Huwang Xiao’s group disappeared from view.

  Not long after they left, the space in the Archaic Peak Appraisal Firm rippled violently as several dark silhouettes emerged from the void.

  The new arrival was Yang Liang, and the backing behind him, White Phoenix House’s Grand Elder Yang Qing.

  “Ying’er!” The first thing Yang Liang saw was Yang Ying’s blood-drenched face, sending him into a fright. He reached Yang Ying’s aspect in an instant.

  Whereas Yang Qing and several others spread out their spiritual sense, searching every inch of space in the proximity.

  By now, Huwang Xiao’s group had already left South Oblast City. A few hours after that, the group appeared above a small mountain range.

  Ch.402

  The group slowly descended on a mountain peak.

  “Both of you find it strange that I did not take the chance to wipe out Yang Liang and Yang Qing?” Huwang Xiao observed the puzzled look on Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s face, guessing the question they have.

  Hearing Huwang Xiao speak, both Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu nodded.

  Huwang Xiao summarized in a simple word: “Our main enemy is Deities Templar.”

  Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu both were stunned at first and then nodded, understanding Huwang Xiao’s meaning.

  “But, Sovereign, after this incident, Deities Templar and Chen Tianqi would be aware of our movements very soon, knowing that we’ve arrived at Starcloud Continent.” Zhao Shu cautioned.

  “I've never intended to cover our tracks.” Huwang Xiao added, “I wanted to use this opportunity let Deities Templar and Chen Tianqi know that I have attained Starcloud Continent!” A clear glint burst in the depth of Huwang Xiao’s pupils as he said this.

  Chen Tianqi!

  Deities Templar!

  He must kill Chen Tianqi! And Li Molin must die as well!

  “Tonight, we’ll rest here.” Huwang Xiao said looking at the darkening sky.

  Zha Shu and Zhang Fu nodded.

  Lil’ Tian chimed in, “Big brother, I’m going to hunt some Tyrant Boars!”

  Huwang Xiao smiled hearing Lil’ Tian’s words, nodded: “Good.” Huwang Xiao wasn't worried about Lil’ Tian’s security with his power.

  Tyrant Boars were Martial Spirit World’s lowest level demonic beasts, and were also the most common demonic beast. In most mountainous or forested areas, there would always be Tyrant Boars roaming around.

  Huwang Xiao had just built a fire, but Lil’ Tian was already back again, carrying a few Tyrant Boars; one in each hand and two more on his shoulders.

  Viewing this scene, all three people laughed.

  Soon, the aroma of roasted Tyrant Boar meat wafted in the air.

  After dealing with the Tyrant Boar meat, Huwang Xiao went into the Xumi Temple, observing the twelve crystal primordial divine dragon statues and practicing the Twelve Forms of the Dragon God.

  At every moment, Huwang Xiao’s body continued to absorb the true dragon essence released by the Dragon Pearl. True dragon substance could not only enhance one’s battle qi cultivation, it also strengthened their soul.

  Hence, although Huwang Xiao didn't practice the Ancient Puppetry Art and Spirit Mandate as much as he do in the past, his spiritual pressure continued to grow more powerful every second of each passing day.

  After one hour of observing the twelve crystal statues, Huwang Xiao closed his eyes. The images of twelve primordial divine dragons emerged in his mind, constantly changing, and his hands mimicked their motions.

  A punch, a palm, a claw… True dragon qi turned into shadows of real dragons in the Xumi Temple.

  Huwang Xiao, who was simply immersed in practicing the 12 Types of the Dragon God, thought an abrupt change in his Qi Sea.

  “This is..?!” Huwang Xiao stopped what he was doing, feeling dumbstruck. This was a sign that he was about to breakthrough to 4th Order Saint realm!

  Huwang Xiao quickly sat down cross-legged in the center of the Ten Buddha Formation, simultaneously running the Asura Tactics and the Body Metamorphose Scripture to calm down the vigorous surging fight qi in his Qi Sea.

  Saint Realm battle qi galloped in Huwang Xiao’s meridians in brute force, causing sharp pain in every part of his body. Accompanying this sharp pain was the excruciating torture originating from his spirit, as if there were tens of thousands of needles stabbing at his soul all at once.

  Huwang Xiao was afraid, but he held fast to his will, diverting the flow of his Saint World fight qi to break the Fourth Order Saint Realm barrier.

  Half an hour went by.

  Huwang Xiao was entirely shrouded in a mist of true dragon qi, and his silhouette could hardly be seen inside. From time to time, a dazzling black light glimmered in the mist.

  The dark and blue twin dragons hovered above Huwang Xiao’s head, emitting brilliant halos of black and blue.

  He didn’t know how much time had passed when a crisp noise sounded from inside his body. His body shook as three different intense lights of gold, dark, and ember-red flew skyward. Terrifying waves of energy crashed out again and again.

  Gradually, these energy shockwaves dispersed and the real dragon qi returned to Huwang Xiao’s body. A distinctive glint shone in Huwang Xiao’s pupils as he opened his eye. Sensing the abundant surging power flowing inside his body, Huwang Xiao elevated his hands and punched the environment.

  Like a raging hurricane, the howling wind seemed neverending, accompanied by a thunderous boom some distance ahead. The power of Huwang Xiao’s punch tore an opening in the fabric of space!

  Huwang Xiao’s eyes twinkled with delight seeing this result. Just from this little test, he discovered that his strength increased at least five to six fold after breaking through to Fourth Order Saint world.

  Now, purely relying on the strength of his physical body, Huwang Xiao was confident that he previously sufficient power to kill an early Fifth Order Saint realm expert.

  At exactly the same time, Huwang Xiao noticed that after he broke to Fourth Order Saint world, the true essence energy inside his dantian underwent a transformation.

  Before, Huwang Xiao’s true essence energy swirled above his dantian space, whereas now, it separated. No, it grouped into seven clouds. Although they appeared smaller, he clearly felt that the energy and power contained in these seven small true fact clouds were undoubtedly more lethal than before.

  After checking the new changes in his body, Huwang Xiao exited the Xumi Temple in a satisfied mood.

  Outside, the sky was clear and bright, with sunlight hanging right above their heads. It was already midday.

  “Sovereign, you’re out!” Viewing Huwang Xiao emerging, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu greeted.

  Detecting the worry on their faces, Huwang Xiao asked, “How long was I in closed-door practice this time?”

  Zhang Fu replied: “Sovereign, this time, it has been eleven days!”

  “Eleven times?!” Huwang Xiao was dumbfounded. He assumed that it would be seven days, at most, but he actually required eleven days.

  “Sovereign, you, you broke through?!” Suddenly, Zhao Shu looked at Huwang Xiao with a stupefied manifestation.

  After it was pointed out by Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu also pointed out that there was something different about Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao smiled sheepishly and nodded, “Yeah.”

  Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were overjoyed. Getting down on a single knee, both congratulated in unison: “Congratulations to Sovereign for breaking in to the 4th Order Saint realm!”

  Fourth Order Saint realm! Once one stepped into Fourth Order Saint world, they were mid-level Saint realm experts,
both Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu knew very well what this meant.

  Huwang Xiao laughed, “Come, operate.”

  Only then did the two of them rise to their feet.

  At this time Lil’ Tian ran over to Huwang Xiao’s side, saying, “Your government, you’re out! Great, tonight we can eat Tyrant Boar meats!”

  Huwang Xiao chuckled, “Tonight, we’ll roast ten of them!”

  “10!!” Lil’ Tian’s eye sparkled like stars at Huwang Xiao’s words.

  A short while later, Huwang Xiao’s group left the place, continuing on their way.

  Several times later, they remaining the South Oblast territory.

  …

  The Asura’s Gate headquarters was located in the Central Oblast of Starcloud Continent. To reach the Central Oblast, Huwang Xiao’s group got to travel through twenty cities across the South Oblast. With their speed, they would need two months to reach the Central Oblast.

  Even though Starcloud Continent wasn’t filled with roaming demonic beasts, Huwang Xiao’s group still maintained the same routine of traveling during the day while stopping to rest or cultivate at night.

  One month later, Huwang Xiao finally stabilized his recent breakthrough. During this one month, Huwang Xiao acquired fully subjugated all thirty thousand Poison Corpse Scarabs from the Origin Forest.

  Two months exceeded by.

  In the air above a certain sea region situated in the Central Oblast, lights flickered and the silhouettes of Huwang Xiao, Lil’ Tian, and the others appeared.

  After a two month journey from the South Oblast, Huwang Xiao’s group finally reached the Central Oblast territory.

  This part of the sea was on the east side of the Central Oblast, named Peach Blossom Sea. The islands in this sea were filled up with flowering peach blossoms, pink petals were carried out to the sea all year long, that was how the sea was named Peach Blossom Sea.

  “Sovereign, one of our Asura’s Gate branches is on one of the islands in front, but the person in charge of this branch is Chen Tianqi’s confidante, Wang Gang.” Zhao Shu said.
