Asura Sovereign XII

  Over ten thousand God Realm demonic beasts ah! Even the weakest ones were at least Fifth Order God Realm ah, what in the world was this?!

  At one point, Huwang Xiao moved all the demonic beasts into the Godly Mt. Xumi, leaving only the Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huwang Hongtian, and the three Peng brothers with Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi and Huwang Xiao.

  After all, more than ten thousand demonic beasts openly leaving the Fire World all at once had a huge effect, definitely alarming all four galaxies.

  For now, concealing the strength of his force was necessary until he broke through to Highgod Realm.

  A while later, the seven of them left the Fire World’ gravity.

  “Little Huwang boy, where are we going now?” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi asked.

  Thinking over, Huwang Xiao answered, “Return to Martial Spirit World!”

  It had been quite a few good years since he left Martial Spirit World, going back once to check the situation was necessary.

  At the same time, Huwang Xiao wondered about his parents’ cultivation progress, as well as Shi Xiaofei’s.

  Shi Xiaofei’s charming face appeared in Huwang Xiao’s mind.

  Without further delay, the seven figures moved in the direction of Martial Spirit World. The Fire World grew smaller and smaller behind them, fading out of view.

  Ch.761

  Not long after leaving the Fire World, Huwang Xiao’s group of seven reached the closest world surface that had a transmission array, transferring to another world surface.

  They continued to travel by the transmission arrays until they arrived at a world surface under the Wan Family’s governance. Remembering something, Huwang Xiao stopped and said to everyone, “We’ll stay for two days here in this Wan Family World and continue after that.”

  Of course, the Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huwang Hongtian, and the three Peng brothers had no objections.

  Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi could roughly guess Huwang Xiao’s plan when he heard him say they were going to stay in the Wan Family World.

  This world surface was the place where the Wan Family’s headquarters was located!

  This was the place where the the family of Wan Long, the Highgod Advancement list’s first ranker, was located!

  Huwang Xiao and the others strode out from the transmission array, then inquired the location of the Wan Family’s headquarters and headed straight to Wan Family City.

  With Huwang Xiao and the others’ speed, half an hour later they arrived at the center of the Wan Family World, at a city called Wan Family City.

  After entering the Wan Family City, Huwang Xiao, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, and the rest came to a big restaurant named Heaven’s Capital. Seating down around a table next to the window, Huwang Xiao communicated with Wan Long through a jade slip, saying that he was currently in the Wan Family City and wanted him to come over.

  Wan Long promptly replied in a respectful tone that he was rushing over that instant.

  “Gentleman, what dishes and wine would you like to order?” A waiter came scurrying over to Huwang Xiao’s table, inquiring.

  Everyone at the table turned to look at Huwang Xiao. Without his permission, they dared not jump ahead and order as they liked.

  “Your best wine, first bring up eight jugs. Add several of your best dishes as well.” Huwang Xiao simply said. Before the waiter could utter another word, he placed a top saint grade spirit stone on the table.

  Seeing this, the waiter beamed and repeatedly bowed, his manner and tone courteous as he informed them that the wine and dishes would be served right away.

  While Huwang Xiao’s group was waiting for their orders to be served, five young men walked into the restaurant, all clad in Wan Family’s disciple robes. Sewn on the chest of their brocade robes was the head of a divine beast, the White Fox.

  Judging from their appearances, all five of them were core disciples of the Wan Family.

  The Wan Family had a Nine-Tailed White Fox ancient divine beast as guardian, hence, all the Wan Family core disciples would have the emblem of a white fox’s head on their robes.

  The five swaggered in with obnoxious attitudes right up to a table near the window, chasing out the other families’ disciples that were occupying the table and took over.

  After taking their seats, the five Wan Family core disciples shouted loudly for the waiter, ordering the best wine and dishes and demanding for theirs to be served first. If they saw that others’ orders were served before theirs, they would take down the restaurant.

  The waiter could only bow and repeated nodded.

  At this point, tiny frowns creased the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and the several Highgod Realm masters’ brows.

  “His mother, what kind of dog-shit luck did that Wan Long run into, taming an ancient fierce beast’s descendant, a Tenth Order God Realm Fire Patterned Leopard! Now all the Elders and Grand Elders are strongly supporting him as the successor for the next Wan Family Patriarch position!” One of them grumbled angrily.

  “That’s right! Initially, it was Big brother Wan Taoyang who had the most potential in succeeding the Patriarch position. But now, everything fell right between his fingers.” Another one chimed in.

  Another Wan Family core disciple with a pointed face snickered, “That Wan Long’s good days are about to end, let me tell you, Big brother Wan Taoyang is now associating with the Vermilion Bird Institute’s Vice Principal He Feifan, and he gave his word to Big brother Wan Taoyang that he would support him as the next Wan Family Patriarch!”

  “Vice Principal He Feifan!” The other four exclaimed in surprise.

  Huwang Xiao’s interest was piqued, even Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi looked stunned for a second.

  Huwang Xiao and Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi did not expect the struggle for the next Wan Family Patriarch position to involve He Feifan.

  Watching the four people’s expressions, the pointed face Wan Family disciple complacently added, “Exactly, none other that Vice Principal He Feifan! Anyways, after the Highgod Advancement Tournament ends, it will be the time for our Wan Family to select the next Patriarch. At that time, Vice Principal He Feifan would also attend to support Big brother Wan Taoyang. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if I'm telling you guys about this now, but when Vice Principal He Feifan wins the top spot in the tournament, he’ll no longer be just the Vice Principal, but the Vermilion Bird Institute’s Principal!”

  The other four were elated hearing this, understanding all too well what this news represented.

  If He Feifan really succeeded the Principal’s position, with his identity as the Vermilion Bird Institute Principal supporting their Big brother Wan Taoyang, the Wan Family higher echelon would be swayed, casting their votes to their Big brother instead.

  “But, can Vice Principal He Feifan really get the top spot in the Highgod Advancement Tournament?” One of the four was a little doubtful, asking in a hushed voice.

  The same pointed face disciple sneered, “Vice Principal He Feifan has broken through to the Highgod Realm, do you think any of the participants will be his opponents?”

  “But I heard that the Azure Dragon Institute’s Xiang Mingzhi has obtained the Azure Dragon Divine Fire and has entered the Azure Dragon Institute’s forbidden land to cultivate. Moreover, some say that he has a very high chance of receiving the first Azure Dragon Institute Principal’s heritage!” That disciple weakly protested.

  “True ah, although Xiang Mingzhi’s cultivation time is comparably shorter, if he really did get the first Azure Dragon Institute Principal’s heritage before the Highgod Advancement Tournament begins, who knows to what extent his cultivation would improve. He has the most powerful divine fire in the four galaxies, the Azure Dragon Divine Fire!” Another Wan Family core disciple said.

  “Don’t forget the Black Warrior Institute’s Huwang Xiao, his monstrous talent is acknowledged by many people. I heard that in the last Alchemist Grandmaster Competition, he was already a peak mid-Ninth Order God Realm. Who can say how much he will imp
rove until the tournament begins.” Another Wan Family core disciple added.

  When the pointed face disciple heard that, he laughed like he had heard a joke, “Huwang Xiao? You think that Huwang Xiao is worthy of being a threat to Vice Principal He Feifan? That’s the biggest joke in the world! Do you think that Huwang Xiao is capable of breaking through into the Highgod Realm within a hundred years’ time? Didn’t you all hear what Vice Principal He Feifan said during his celebration banquet? Huwang Xiao is not qualified to be his opponent.”

  That pointed face disciple raised his head, a derisive smile on his face, “Vice Principal He Feifan also said that if Huwang Xiao cultivates for another thousand years or so and breaks through to the Highgod Realm, at that time he might consider if Huwang Xiao is worthy to be his opponent.”

  Listening in on the five people’s conversation, the Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huwang Hongtian, and the three Peng brothers were enraged.

  At first, at the mention of Huwang Xiao’s name, the Highgod Realm masters’ interest was aroused and thus listened attentively. It never crossed their minds that their Master was so famous. He was a disciple of the Black Warrior Institute, yet even these Vermilion Bird Galaxy’s prominent families’ disciples were aware of their Master’s name.

  But, that pointed face Wan Family core disciple actually revealed what He Feifan said about their Master, that he was not qualified to be his opponent and he should cultivate for a thousand years more!

  Killing intent boiled in their hearts.

  If Huwang Xiao was not qualified to be that He Feifan’s opponent, what about them?

  Though Huwang Xiao did not say anything this time, the Phoenix Clan Ancestor couldn’t hold himself back, issuing a cold harrumph.

  The five Wan Family disciples’ consciousness felt a violent shake, as if struck by multiple streaks of lightning. All five disciples were knocked back against the wall, bleeding from their seven orifices.

  Ch.762

  Five Wan Family core disciples were suddenly thrown back to the wall, bleeding from their seven orifices, throwing the restaurant into disarray. All the other family disciples and customers jumped to their feet, rushing to sides in order to avoid being implicated by the situation.

  After a good while passed, the pointed face Wan Family core disciple was the first to struggle up, he was the strongest amongst the five disciples, a late-Fifth Order God Realm cultivator.

  Fear and wrath flickered past his face glaring at the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and those with him.

  “Who are you lot? You’ve got some guts to attack us in the Wan Family City! Do you know who we are? We’re core disciples of the Wan Family, my grandfather is the Wan Family’s Grand Elder, Wan Bi!” That pointed face Wan Family disciple yelled, pointing at Huwang Xiao’s group.

  This city was their Wan Family’s territory. More often than not, not only in Wan Family City, but in the whole Wan Family World, no one dared to oppose disciples of their Wan Family.

  But now, someone dared to assault them, core disciples, right in the heart of the Wan Family City!

  This was rebelling against the heavens!

  Even though the other side’s strength was alarming, his anger was higher than fear.

  Huwang Xiao’s calm but cold voice sounded, “Who are we? I’m none other than Huwang Xiao.” Though Huwang Xiao’s voice wasn’t loud, it was clear enough to reach everyone’s ears.

  The surrounding family disciples gasped in surprise.

  “Huwang Xiao! The Black Warrior Institute and the Ascending Moon Old Man’s personal disciple, that Huwang Xiao?!”

  “Why would he appear here? Didn’t the rumors say that he had secluded himself in Martial Spirit World ever since he won the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition?”

  “But this isn't the Black Tortoise Galaxy, even more so not the Black Warrior Institute. He injured core disciples of the Wan Family inside their city, this matter definitely won’t end so easily. Looks like this Huwang Xiao’s about to eat some bitterness.”

  Hushed whispers came from the surrounding family disciples.

  Only now did the Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Huwang Hongtian, and the others find out that Huwang Xiao was actually the Black Warrior Institute Principal and the Ascending Moon Old Man’s personal disciple.

  That pointed face Wan Family disciple was also stunned, “You are Huwang Xiao?!” Who would have thought that the Huwang Xiao they were talking about would be a young man sitting right beside them?

  “Huwang Xiao, don’t think you act recklessly in our Wan Family World just because you’re the Black Warrior Institute Principal’s and the Ascending Moon Old Man’s personal disciple!” Another Wan Family disciple that managed to stand up shouted in anger, “You think we don't dare beat you up?! It’s not your place to act high and mighty in our Wan Family World!”

  “That’s right, Huwang Xiao! Kneel down, kowtow and apologize!” A different Wan Family disciple yelled, “Otherwise, in a second, we’ll make you eat dog shit on your knees!”

  Even though the five Wan Family disciples were surprised by Huwang Xiao’s appearance, when they remembered that this place was the Vermilion Bird Galaxy, Wan Family City, their tone grew increasingly arrogant.

  The Phoenix Clan Ancestor and the others who were already upset were about to teach these Wan Family disciples a lesson when Huwang Xiao suddenly tapped a finger lightly in the air. The five Wan Family disciples were thrown into the air, crashing into the restaurant doors then rolled onto the street.

  When the five people stopped rolling, the pedestrians on the street could see a bloody hole in their chests, right where their Qi Sea was. The force from Huwang Xiao’s finger tap earlier not only pierced through their chests, but it also shattered all five Wan Family disciples’ Qi Seas. Then again, he kept them alive.

  “You, you destroyed our Qi Seas!” The pointed face disciple shrieked, staring at Huwang Xiao with dread and hatred, his face deathly pale.

  The other four Wan Family disciples’ faces were also bloodlessly pale. No one was ignorant of what a destroyed Qi Sea meant. Unless a Highgod Realm master was willing to help them, they would end up as useless wastes.

  “Get lost now, or die!” Huwang Xiao’s gaze was piercing cold.

  With despair on their faces, all five disciples ran away in a sorry state.

  “Master, these several puny runts don’t warrant Master to act, just leave them to us.” Phoenix Clan Ancestor respectfully said to Huwang Xiao, “They should count themselves lucky just having their Qi Seas destroyed.”

  Huwang Xiao lightly shook his head, “No hurry, we have time. They’ll come back.”

  That several Wan Family disciples would surely return for revenge, and the reason why Huwang Xiao didn't kill them was to have them return with reinforcements.

  “Waiter, is our order ready?” At this point, Huwang Xiao tilted his head slightly toward the waiter, asking.

  The waiter shivered, quickly answering, “It’s ready, it’s ready, we’re bringing it up right now.” Then he ran off, returning almost immediately with Huwang Xiao’s food and wine.

  Most of the surrounding customers stood around, not planning to leave.

  They too understood that those Wan Family disciples wouldn’t let this matter end like this, therefore, a good show was almost certain if they waited.

  Huwang Xiao ignored those family disciples hanging around. Raising his wine bowl in a toast, he said, “Old Dragon, let us drink!”

  Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi grinned, clicking wine bowls with Huwang Xiao and gulped down his share of wine.

  Noticing that the Phoenix Clan Ancestor and the others did not move, Huwang Xiao indicated they could start eating, only then did they dare to pick up their chopsticks or wine bowls.

  Shortly, a Wan Family disciple arrived. Not the reinforcements, but Wan Long.

  After receiving Huwang Xiao’s summon, Wan Long had rushed out from his own courtyard, but when he reached the restaurant, he was inwardly surprised at the broken and
messy restaurant.

  “Wan Long! I didn’t expect the Wan Family would send Wan Long over to deal with Huwang Xiao!”

  “Wan Long is the top master on the Highgod Advancement List, and also the strongest person in the four galaxies below the Highgod Realm. Having Wan Long here is more than enough to deal with Huwang Xiao!”

  “You guys take a guess, will Huwang Xiao flee or beg for mercy from Wan Long?”

  As the first ranked on the Highgod Advancement List for so many years, Wan Long was a legendary figure in the four galaxies, and also the invincible idol in the hearts of many people living in the Wan Family World.

  Wan Long’s appearance instantly raised a wave of commotion.

  Though most of the surrounding disciples wondered why Wan Long arrived so fast, most of them assumed that he was sent here by the Wan Family elders to take care of Huwang Xiao, thus everyone was excited and looking on with anticipation.

  While the surrounding disciples whispered in hushed excitement, Wan Long walked straight up to Huwang Xiao’s table. Then, all of a sudden, he knelt down, respectfully greeting, “Wan Long greets Master!”

  The surrounding noises abruptly died down.

  All the surrounding disciples that had been whispering in excitement wore dumbfounded expressions watching the scene in front of them, looking at Wan Long who was kneeling before Huwang Xiao.

  Master?!

  Did their ears heard wrongly?

  “Stand up.” Huwang Xiao said.

  “Thank you, Master!”

  Wan Long’s second ‘Master’ completely shattered the last hopes these disciples harbored.

  They turned to look at Huwang Xiao in disbelief, then back again at Wan Long.

  “Sit.” As if he didn’t notice the gazes directed at him, Huwang Xiao pointed at an empty seat to Wan Long.

  Wan Long complied respectfully and sat down.

  Only after Wan Long sat down did Huwang Xiao ask, “What is the issue with that Wan Taoyang?”

  Wan Long was startled by Huwang Xiao’s question, but he recovered quickly, answering, “That Wan Taoyang is our current Wan Family Patriarch Wan Runshan’s son. Initially, Patriarch Wan Runshan planned to have his son succeed the next Patriarch’s position, but the majority of our family’s Grand Elders and Elders support me as the next Patriarch.”
