Chapter 388 (2/2)

Devouring Ghost was observing him from a corner as he thought to himself, This kid might be a great help to the young master one day in the future. I need to find a chance to get him a fortuitous encounter.

Both Dong Qinggu and Dong Zhongyuan congratulated Du Xuanhao, who was hovering high in the sky. ”Congratulations, Brother Du for breaking through into the ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm.”

After them, the other Dong Clan Emperors also started offering their congratulations as well. A person with this cultivation level was already at the utmost peak of tier-5 organizations and was definitely worthy of their respect.

Du Xuanhao landed from the sky and replied, ”Many thanks, everyone. But I owe my breakthrough to the young master.”

”Young master?” The Dong Clan people wore odd expressions. They found it hard to believe Xiang Shaoyun would be of help to Du Xuanhao with his cultivation level.

Perhaps it's the organization behind him, they concluded.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the Dong Clan with Dong Ziwan.

”Congratulations, Big Brother Du for the breakthrough,” he said, feeling happy for Du Xuanhao.

Du Xuanhao quickly rushed over and knelt down on one knee. ”Many thanks, young master, for allowing me to reach this level.”

His action greatly shocked the Dong Clan people. Emperors had their pride and would never lightly kneel to someone, even if that person was the clan leader and possessed the same cultivation level.

A simple example would be that Du Xuanhao would never kneel before Dong Zhuoyue, the clan leader, even if he himself was a Dong Clan member. Only Sovereigns would be able to make him kneel. But now, Du Xuanhao was ignoring his pride as an Emperor and was kneeling down before Xiang Shaoyun. It was inconceivable to them.

They felt like there were only two reasons Du Xuanhao would kneel to Xiang Shaoyun. The first reason was because Xiang Shaoyun was most probably a person of an exalted status, likely a young master of at least a tier-6 organization. The second reason was because he had once shown Du Xuanhao a great favor. The Dong Clan people were of the opinion that the former was more likely to be the case.

Xiang Shaoyun quickly helped Du Xuanhao up and said, ”Don't do that, Big Brother Du. In my heart, you are akin to a brother. I can't accept your kneel.”

Although he had taken in Du Xuanhao as a follower, he still showed him a great deal of respect. After all, he considered Hua Cheng his big sister, and the person she liked was Du Xuanhao. In any case, Du Xuanhao was a decent person worthy of his respect.

This was one of Xiang Shaoyun's personal charms, a quality any good leader should have—to have respect for the capable.

Du Xuanhao stood up and said solemnly, ”Without your blaze flower, it would have been very hard for me to advance two stages in a row.”

”Haha, helping you is the same as helping myself,” Xiang Shaoyun laughed. He then looked at Dong Qinggu and Dong Zhongyuan before asking, ”Seniors, have you never thought of going on the offensive and crus.h.i.+ng the traitors?”

Dong Zhongyuan and Dong Qinggu exchanged glances, and finally, Dong Qinggu said, ”Young Master Xiang, you are willing to help us?”

”Big Brother Du has just broken through. I think he needs some target practice to stabilize his cultivation base. Am I right, Big Brother Du?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

A raging battle intent surged out as Du Xuanhao said, ”Yes, I need to feed my saber.”
