Chapter 124: Li's Residence Is Obliterated

Huang Xiaolong came out of the ancient battlefield after spending several days inside. The location he had appeared in was the same place he had disappeared while traveling through the black hole in Enlightenment Lake. However, Duan Wuhen had already left and there was only silence in the surrounding waters.

Huang Xiaolong scanned the surroundings and noticed that the mountains, coral reefs, and aquatic plants in the area were in a state of destruction, being destroyed by someone. There was a thousand meter long palm trail left at the bottom of the lake.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong was frightened and could guess this gigantic palm was definitely left behind by Duan Wuhen. Had the black hole not sucked him into the ancient battlefield in time and that palm fell on his body, he would have burst into pieces.

Nonetheless, I must break through the Xiantian realm as quickly as possible. Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

This trip to the Lake of Enlightenment greatly shocked his sense of urgency to grow stronger at a faster pace.

Only by breaking into Xiantian realm would it meet the minimum requirements to protect itself in this Martial Spirit World.

Gazing at his surroundings once more, Huang Xiaolong flashed and disappeared from that place.

A short while later, Huang Xiaolong emerged from the Enlightenment Lake.

The area around the Enlightenment Lake had no people. It seemed like the experts from different powers had already left.

Fei Hou was probably waiting at the Fei Mansion, thought Huang Xiaolong. According to the agreement he had with Fei Hou, if something happened, they would return separately to the Fei Mansion in three days. If more than three days had passed, it was likely that Fei Hou had sent people looking for him everywhere.

Just as Huang Xiaolong predicted, not long after speeding away from the Enlightenment Lake, he met some of the Fei Palace guards who were looking for him in the forest. When the guard of the Fei Mansion saw Huang Xiaolong, happiness beamed on their faces.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong return unscathed, Fei Hou almost set up the altar in prayer to thank Heaven as invisible tears and snot flowed out endlessly.

Main hall, Fei Mansion.

Huang Xiaolong sat down and listened to Fei Hou tell him what happened in the Enlightenment Lake after he disappeared.

"Eight Xiantian realm experts died?" Huang Xiaolong was stunned by this news.

Fei Hou nodded and said: “Yes, they were all killed by His Highness, Second Prince Duan Wuhen. When Duan Wuhen took the treasure, these eight Ancestors and Sect Leaders arrived on the scene so Duan Wuhen silenced them!”

“Duan Wuhen get incredible treasure?” Huang Xiaolong was shocked.

Fei Hou nodded his head, saying, "That's right, the news has spread and reached outside."

Hearing Fei Hou's confirmation, Huang Xiaolong silently shook his head and laughed wryly. He had not expected that the Imperial Prince would be the one to protect the black pot for him. He was betting that having to listen to such rumors even while walking around would make Duan Wuhen feel like killing people!

'Then, has Duan Wuhen returned to the Duanren Kingdom?" Huang Xiaolong asked.

“He should be back. On the same day he obtained a great treasure, the space artifact of the Duanren Empire flew into the sky and disappeared. Fei Hou replied, and then added: “Soldiers stationed in the Lake of Enlightenment suffered huge losses. I heard there were about seventy to eighty thousand Yuwai Kingdom soldiers killed in the middle of the conflict.”

The Yuwai Kingdom was one of the strongest empires under the mandate of the Duanren Empire. Losing eighty thousand soldiers to Yuwai Kingdom was not small, but it would not harm its core strength.

Furthermore, Fei Hou reported the actions of the Great Sword Sect and the Ning Martial Family over the past few days.

When Fei Hou mentioned the Great Sword Sect losing eight core disciples, Huang Xiaolong grinned and praised himself for the job: "I killed them."

Fei Hou was startled for a moment, "They were killed by the Sovereign?"

Then he chuckles, “I wonder who it is. So the eight core disciples of the Great Sword Sect were done by Sovereigns? Yu Chen, that old man must be very angry knowing this thing– still, we must be careful of him.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement.

A while later, Fei Hou left the main hall.

Huang Xiaolong did not clarify that the treasure was in his hands and did not belong to Duan Wuhen, because it was unnecessary and not due to feelings of disbelief towards Fei Hou. Moreover, Fei Hou's knowledge of Heavenly Treasures was limited and he wouldn't know where the God Binding Ring was on the list or its use for that matter.

The most important thing right now was to breakthrough to the Ninth Order, and Huang Xiaolong decided to return to Luo Tong Kingdom after he had successfully advanced.

On the ancient battlefield, Huang Xiaolong summoned the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, took out the Flame Dragon Pearl, and sat down cross-legged to train.

Running the Asura Tactics, he absorbed the spiritual energy coming from the ancient battlefield.

The last time he trained here, Huang Xiaolong detected an obscure slaughter qi that proved to be beneficial to his cultivation, as well as sharpening his soul and will.

Twelve days passed.

Nearly twenty days had passed since the birth of the great treasure in the Lake of Enlightenment and the storm brought about by its emergence gradually died down. Although it was still talked about, it did not receive the level of attention it had before.

For twelve days, Huang Xiaolong stayed inside the ancient battlefield and trained, finally advancing to the Ninth Order.

It was only then that Huang Xiaolong came out of the ancient battlefield.

Next, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou came out of Luo Tong Kingdom, choosing the same way as they arrived – through the Silver Moon Forest. Both of them killed demonic beasts and trained further along the way.

A little over two months later, Huang Xiaolong made his first stop at Tianxuan Palace instead of the Cosmic Star Academy.

"Sister, you're back!" Stepping into the Tianxuan House, the first to greet him was his younger sister, Huang Min. Excitement was seen on his face as he rushed in front of Huang Xiaolong, pulling his hand, "Sister, during this trip to Yuwai Kingdom, did you happen to find something to bring back for me ah?"

"I already knew you were a persistent bug." After he finished saying that, Huang Xiaolong took out many items from the Asura Ring.

Seeing so many things appear in front of him, Huang Min laughed happily.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head. In a few more months, this girl would be fifteen years old, but she still acted like a child.

When he stepped into the main hall, his parents, Huang Peng and Su Yan, were there and so was Li Lu. But Li Lu's eyes were red and teary, proof that he had just cried.

The atmosphere in the main hall was rather pitiful.

"What's the problem?" Huang Xiaolong asked as he entered.

At this point, Li Lu had already dashed into Huang Xiaolong's embrace, hugging him tightly while crying nonstop.

Huang Xiaolong was somewhat dumbfounded, seeking clarification from his parents.

Huang Peng spoke solemnly, “We have just received news from Canglan County saying that the entire Li Residence was obliterated from top to bottom. More than a hundred people died!”

Surprised! Huang Xiaolong was extremely shocked upon hearing this. Li's residence was obliterated from top to bottom? Does that mean Li Lu's father, Li Cheng, and his grandfather, Liu Mu, also died?

"It's okay, don't cry anymore." Huang Xiaolong patted Li Lu on the back gently, comforting him in a soft voice.

Li Lu cried for a while in Huang Xiaolong's arms before his hands were released. Wiping tears from her face, she saw a wet patch on Huang Xiaolong's soaked shoulder, a shy red hue staining her cheeks.

Everyone sat in the main hall.

"Did we find out who did it?" Huang Xiaolong asked.

Su Yan said: "Li Cheng and Old Patriarch Li died because the Blood Palm– Poison Marshal Haotian confirmed this."

"Poisonious Blood Palm!" Huang Xiaolong's brows furrowed deeply. At that moment, the leader of the Green Hawk Gang, Jiang Wei, also died under the Poison Blood Palm. Does that mean the person who killed Jiang Wei and the person who killed Li Cheng and destroyed the Li Residence were the same person?

Thinking back to seven years ago, during Liu Mu's eighty-year anniversary celebration, two people with viper martial spirits vowed to take Liu Mu's life within three years ..... seven years have passed since then. Were those people with the viper martial spirit really responsible for this?
