Chapter 117: Duan Wuhen
Shaking his head, Fei Hou said: “Nobody knows what Duan Wuhen martial spirit is; it is said that he never showed his martial spirit in public.”
Huang Xiaolong pondered over the matter; no one knew about Duan Wuhen's martial spirit, nor did he have to say the one who knew was dead, was silenced by Duan Wuhen. Thus, no one in the outside world had a clue about his martial spirit.
However, this Duan Wuhen could cultivate up to the Ninth Xiantian Order in a short span of two hundred years, so undoubtedly his martial spirit level was not low.
Twelve class, or?!
Seeing Huang Xiaolong in deep thought, Fei Hou did not dare to make a sound to interrupt.
"Sovereign, how should we proceed now?" A while later, Fei Hou carefully asked in a low voice.
Huang Xiaolong was pulled out of his entanglement: "Prepare, we will go to the Lake of Enlightenment tomorrow!"
Although the intervention of the Duanren Empire added an undesirable variable to the situation, Huang Xiaolong was determined to obtain the Heavenly Treasure that appeared in the Enlightenment Lake!
This is an opportunity for him!
Only with the addition of this Heavenly Treasure could he break through to the Xiantian realm at the fastest speed, and it was another trump card against Senior Brother Chen Tianqi!
Fei Hou acknowledged Huang Xiaolong's orders respectfully and retreated from the courtyard.
After Fei Hou left, Huang Xiaolong entered the Linglong Treasure Pagoda room, swallowed the Flame Dragon Pearl, and continued to practice.
Mount Arxan, near Lake of Enlightenment.
The mountains hugged the Lake of Enlightenment in its bosom, and Mount Arxan was the tallest and largest mountain in the vicinity. At the top of Mount Arxan stood someone– someone who was wearing a golden yellow robe and looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties. There were eight life-like powerful dragons embroidered in his dark yellow robe. The middle-aged man stood still there with his hands behind, looking towards the Enlightenment Lake in front of him.
Standing at the top of Mount Arxan, one could see the entire lake in an instant.
Even though the middle-aged man was just standing there quietly, an overwhelming momentum came from his body, emitting an invisible noble aura from one above the other as if he was the sky above and the other was at his feet.
Right now, the group of people reached the Arxan Mountain Peak from the foot of the mountain, and they stopped the ten-meter step of the yellow-robed middle-aged man. Each of them had a respectful expression on their faces as they saluted, "We humble Ministers salute His Highness the Second Prince!"
In the midst of this group of people, the King of Yuwai Kingdom, Fan Zhe, was one of them!
These people were from the Yuwai Kingdom as well as emissaries from the neighboring kingdoms.
The Yuwai Kingdom, the Baolong Kingdom, and the rest who had sworn allegiance to the Duanren Empire. That was why even though Fan Zhe was the King of a kingdom, they were also subordinates of the Duanren Kingdom.
When this group of people learned of Duan Wuhen's arrival at the Enlightenment Lake, everyone ran there to pay their respects.
Duan Wuhen simply stood with his hands clenched behind him; an apathetic voice floated with a gentle breeze: "Wake up."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Second Prince!" Fan Zhe and everyone thanked him respectfully and slowly got up.
“Although I am here at the Lake of Enlightenment, all of you have no reason to worry; when a great treasure appears in the coming days, I will allow all of you to join the fray! Duan Wuhen announced.
Hearing these words, everyone in the group was secretly happy in their hearts; this was the question they were most worried about.
"Very grateful to His Highness the Second Prince!"
Duan Wuhen waved his hand: "You can all leave now."
Acknowledging the order to leave, a group of people retreated from sight and left the mountain.
When all was gone, the expert who followed Duan Wuhen of the Empire, Sun Liang, walked towards him while saying, "Your Majesty, you allowed them to fight over the treasures - at that time, didn't you ...?"
Sun Liang said, "When the Heavenly Treasure was born, only His Imperial Majesty would have the ability to subdue it, and ten years later, His Majesty would definitely be chosen as a disciple of the Templar God!"
Duan Wuhen nodded, his eyes staring at the distant horizon.
The sky gradually darkened as night fell and receded again as morning came.
When the first light shone, Huang Xiaolong ended his practice and exited the Linglong Treasure Pagoda room.
One month of focused training had increased Huang Xiaolong's strength exponentially once again, whereas the Abundant Lightning's movements were now much more deadly compared to the time used to defeat Yang An.
Exiting the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, Huang Xiaolong saw that Fei Hou was already waiting for him.
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou left the Fei Mansion and headed straight towards the Enlightenment Lake.
Other than Fei Hou, Huang Xiaolong did not bring a single person; the more people they had on this trip, the more unnecessary attention they would attract. The military ban on the Lake of Enlightenment was lifted and martial law in the Imperial City of Yuwai was also lifted. Both left the city smoothly.
Two hours later, they arrived at the Lake of Enlightenment.
Standing in front of the clear aquamarine lake, Huang Xiaolong felt somewhat sad. After the Heavenly Treasure was born, how much blood would this pure and clear lake dye become deep red?
"Sovereign, let's find a place to rest for now?" Fei Hou asked a moment later.
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
Just as they turned around wanting to leave, a strange and sad cry came from within the lake - sometimes sharp and sometimes sounding like someone sighing with lamentation, mixed with a sadness full of anger waiting to come out, makes people uncomfortable to hear it. .
“Since the manifestation of sight happened one month ago, this kind of strange sound started to echo from the Lake of Enlightenment, and the frequency is getting more and more frequent, almost every hour.” Fei Hou explained.
Huang Xiaolong turned around, looking at the middle of the Enlightenment Lake where the strange cries were coming from; the surface of the originally calm lake started rippling and soaring in chaos, similar to a threatening large beast that would break free from the bottom of the lake.
And at this point, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda within Huang Xiaolong's body trembled and showed signs of flying out.
Huang Xiaolong was stunned; he quickly utilized the Golden Linglong Body, only then did the Linglong Treasure Pagoda fall silent.
The surface of the lake also regained its calm as before after the strange cries stopped.
"Let's go." Huang Xiaolong said to Fei Hou.
He had the feeling that the Heavenly Treasure would appear in the next two days. The high frequency of the strange cries emanating from the lake was one indication of his premonition.
Leaving, they found a peak near the lake. Finding a place, the two sat cross-legged while waiting patiently for the birth of the Heavenly Treasure.
Lurking from the top of the mountain where they were, they could see most of the Enlightenment Lake area clearly. That's a good place.
However, as soon as Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou sat down, a group of young men and women, roughly a total of twenty people were dressed in soft black robes with mystical bird totem embroidery on their chests, come after them.
When this group of young men and women stopped in front of Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, one of the young men came out of the group and said to Huang Xiaolong, “This big brother, this boy, we liked this location first before you, we will trouble you to leave this place now.”
"Be nice first?" Huang Xiaolong's expression remained aloof: "What if we refuse to leave?"
"Little bastard, don't force your luck!" Another young man walked out of the group, “Senior Brother Wu told you to leave, so you should have kowtowed and left obediently. If you're not scrambling right now, don't blame us for being frank!
“What's the point of talking to them a lot, go up and just kill them; won't the problem be solved faster and easier that way?” At this point, another young woman from the group interjected.
The first young man who spoke looked at Huang Xiaolong and said, “Adik, you also heard what they said; my Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters temperament is not as good as mine. In my opinion, you better leave quickly. There is no point in losing your life for just one place.”
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou looked at each other and stood up.
