Sovereign The
Chapter 24: Protecting the Loved One
After Li Mu spoke, Li Cheng felt extremely nervous as he went towards the bloodstained coffin. His palm hit the coffin cover, and it flew away, revealing the corpse of a sixteen to seventeen-year-old boy!
The boy's skin color had turned pale green, so dark that it looked almost black.
When Li Cheng clearly saw the young man's face, his entire body shook and his eyes turned red as tears fell from his face. “Feng'er! Feng'erku!” Li Cheng carried the body of the boy out of the coffin and hugged him tightly.
"Feng'erku!"
"You can't die, Feng'er!"
Li Cheng's sorrowful wail was heartbreaking.
And when Li Mu saw the young man's face, tears flowed from his face. He stood there and cried, no longer caring about his face or dignity before the crowd.
"Sister, Brother!" At this moment, Li Lu who was standing beside Huang Xiaolong ran out to grab the boy, sobbing as both of his hands shook the boy's shoulders. “Brother, what's wrong with you? Brother, please wake up! I don't want you to die, I don't want you to die!
"Brother, please wake up!"
"Wake up!"
Li Lu's sobs choked, unable to get out.
At this moment, the guards, servants, and experts from the Li Residence all knelt down and cries filled the area. The son who died was the brother of Li Lu, Li Feng and Li Cheng's only son. Li Feng was extremely talented and, like Li Lu, he had a ninth grade martial spirit. Three years ago, he was discovered by the Different Cloud Sect, one of the most prominent sects in Luo Tong Kingdom, and taken as an inner court disciple. No one could have imagined that he would be killed and sent back to the Li Residence as Li Mu's birthday present!
All the patriarchs from the families and other experts present shook their heads. They had come to congratulate Old Patriarch Li on his eightyth birthday, but this scene had actually unraveled before them!
“Feng'er, this is Grandpa's fault. Grandpa has hurt you!” Li Mu knelt down, both of his hands trembling as he touched his grandson's face. Her tears fell on her grandson's body, but her grandson could no longer move, and could no longer hear his voice.
“Be assured, Grandpa will definitely avenge you! Very!" Determination was seen in Li Mu's eyes.
From afar, Huang Xiaolong's eyes were red as he looked at the scene before him.
Around him there was silence.
After a long time had passed, Li Mu brought his grandson's body to the Li Residence, and everyone followed. Inside the Li Residence, decorations that were once festive and colorful in red clothes now offend the eyes.
Birthday party did not happen.
And not long after, the patriarchs and experts who came to bid him farewell. Li's originally lively and lively residence became gloomy and silent.
In the end, only the last group of five Huang Xiaolong people stayed in the Li Residence.
"Sister Li, I'm sorry for your sadness." Huang Qide came beside Li Mu and said in a voice that was almost whispering. "If there is anything, all you need is to send a message, our Huang Clan Manor will be the first to help!"
Even Huang Qide did not imagine such a thing would happen; given the circumstances, it made no sense for them to stay any longer in the Li Residence.
"Sister Huang, thank you!" Li Mu said in a sad voice.
Huang Qide nodded as there was nothing more to say; he turned around and was about to leave with Huang Xiaolong and the others, but Li Lu suddenly ran to Huang Xiaolong, sobbing, "Xiaolong, please, don't go, okay?"
Everyone present turned to look at Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong was empty. He hesitated for a moment, then patted Li Lu on the shoulder gently, and said, “Don't worry. I will come and visit you often. I will kill whoever is responsible and avenge your brother.”
Hearing Huang Xiaolong's words, everyone smiled as they shook their heads; they regarded his words as something that the naive children would say, and none of them took Huang Xiaolong's words seriously. Even Li Mu was not confident in killing the other party, let alone an eight-year-old child?
“Then you should definitely come and see me.” Li Lu said as tears streamed down his face.
Li Mu got up and personally saw Huang Xiaolong's group coming out of the Li Residence and just re-entered when the five silhouettes disappeared.
By late afternoon, Huang Xiaolong's five-man group reached the Huang Clan Manor.
Huang Xiaolong did not train that night. He stood at the top of the back mountain, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Two meters behind Huang Xiaolong, stood Fei Hou, just in case.
Out of nowhere, Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked, "Fei Hou, when people die, do you think they will become stars in the night sky?"
Fei Hou was stunned, as he had not expected Huang Xiaolong to ask such a question. “Star in night sky?”
“In my hometown before, someone once said that when someone dies, they become stars in the night sky to protect their loved ones.” Huang Xiaolong explained softly.
“Become a star in the night sky? To protect their loved ones?” Fei Hou shook his head, smiling. “In this world, only those who have the strength and power can keep and protect their loved ones.”
"Power and power!" Huang Xiaolong repeated.
"Yes, power and strength!" Fei Hou nodded.
That's right, strength and strength! Huang Xiaolong clenched his fists tightly. Under the night sky, his eyes shone like the stars– only the strong had the power to guard and protect loved ones.
He must be strong! He must grow stronger quickly!
Only in this way can he protect and protect his loved ones!
An invisible aura emanated from Huang Xiaolong, frightening Fei Hou.
"Let's go back!" Huang Xiaolong said lightly a moment later while pulling an aura emanating from his body. He turned around and headed down towards the Huang Clan Manor and Fei Hou followed.
As soon as he returned to the Huang Clan Manor, Huang Xiaolong took out a cold jade bed, sat down, sitting down, and began to practice the Asura Tactics as the spiritual aura from the underworld gushed out like an endless waterfall.
......
Time passed and quickly ten months passed.
Huang Peng noticed that his son had been increasing his efforts in training ever since he returned from the Li Residence. Every day, his son stayed inside a small courtyard to practice, barely going out. His parents heart ached seeing their son's crazy training regimen, so they decided to go to the small courtyard and visit Huang Xiaolong.
In the past ten months, Huang Xiaolong's battle qi increased at a terrifying speed. Half a month after he returned from the Li Residence, he ascended to the middle of the Fourth Order from the peak of the early Fourth Order, and two months later, the late Fourth Order.
After ten months, Huang Xiaolong had not only made a breakthrough to the Fifth Order, he had actually advanced to the peak of the late Fifth Order!
As for the Body Metamorphosis Scripture, he had reached the fifth stage of – Strength to Transport the Nine Bulls Like One.
That morning, the weather was clear. On the back mountain, Huang Xiaolong swung his sword and a hundred rays of light appeared, forming two five-meter-high cyclones that swirled nonstop. As the Asura Storm rotated, every tree and shrub in its path was cut into a hundred pieces, when suddenly the two cyclones turned left, then turned again to the right!
In ten months, not only had the strength of the Asura Storm increased tenfold, but Huang Xiaolong was already able to control the direction as he wished. Now, his Asura Storm could last twelve to thirteen breaths.
"The Asura Storm has reached a great settlement and is now just a lack of strength!" Huang Xiaolong muttered to himself as he scanned the surroundings. He had comprehended the atmosphere of the Asura Storm and his strength would continue to increase along with his battle qi.
It mentioned on a piece of paper that once there was someone using this style, it would annihilate everything within a ten thousand li radius and not even a single blade of grass would survive!
"There are only twenty more days to the next Clan Assembly." Huang Xiaolong thought to himself as he recalled the Asura Blade and they flew back into his arms.
