Chapter 62: Poison Blood Palm (2/2)

But the two Ninth Order Marshal Mansion guards said ‘yes’ respectfully, and released him.

“Thank you, thank you!” The Green Hawk Gang group leader was overjoyed, thanking Huang Xiaolong incessantly before fleeing away in panic.

However, the moment his figure disappeared from view, a loud wail was heard. Everyone was shocked as figures flashed out from the main hall in the next moment and found the middle-aged Green Hawk Gang man crumpled on the floor some distance away. Already dead from the looks of it.

Huang Xiaolong walked to the dead body, and pushed away the clothes from the chest, revealing an imprint of a Poison Blood Palm strike.

Fei Hou, Wang Ning, and Chen Yu immediately scanned the area, looking alerted.

“Fei Hou, go check the surroundings!” said Huang Xiaolong as he stood up.

“Yes, Young Master!” Fei Hou said, and he leaped up to the rooftop, disappearing in a flash. A short while later, Fei Hou returned shaking his head at Huang Xiaolong and respectfully reported, “Young Master, the other party used a type of movement battle skill (similar to qi qong), and it was too fast and your subordinate was unable to catch up. In this subordinate’s opinion, the other party is a peak late-Tenth Order expert!”

A peak late-Tenth Order!

Huang Xiaolong frowned, his usual and clear voice sullen with disappointment, “Let us go back and talk.”

Not long after they left the scene, the news about the Green Hawk Gang’s leader, Jiang Wei, being killed spread with rapid speed in the Royal City, causing an uproar.

The Green Hawk Gang’s leader was a Tenth Order warrior and had more than a thousand subordinates under him, yet he was killed. The topic was discussed in every corner of the city.

Night, the Tianxuan Mansion’s main hall.

Huang Xiaolong was seated down as Fei Hou briefed Marshal Haotian about the details of what happened earlier in the day at the Green Hawk Gang’s headquarter. And hearing it made Marshal Haotian look solemn.

“Haotian, arrange some people to protect Li Lu and Li Cheng.” Huang Xiaolong said.

“Yes Sovereign, rest assured, I will make proper arrangements.” Marshal Haotian answered with due respect, “Subordinate will investigate this matter and capture the person!” Then, he hesitated for a second before continuing “Sovereign, your practice trip to the Silvermoon Forest in two days is too dangerous. Moreover, now that this kind of incident has happened; it would be best to have Fei Hou, Wang Ning, and the others to go with you!”

Despite Marshal Haotian’s persuasion, Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “No need.” If he ran into a Xiantian realm expert, the level of danger would be the same even with Fei Hou and the guards around. And his main purpose was to train-- having them on this trip would be inconvenient.

“As for the Academy, please pass on information to Sun Zhang about my absence.” He planned to train and stay in the Silvermoon Forest for five months; given that it was such a long period, of course, he needed to notify the Academy.

Marshal Haotian nodded and accepted the task.

A while later, Fei Hou and Marshal Haotian left.

Huang Xiaolong returned to his room and took out the cold jade bed. Once again, he sat cross-legged, trying to learn how to summon a single dragon martial spirit.

Time flies and two days came and went.

These past two days, Fei Hou had prepared everything that Huang Xiaolong would need in the coming five months and the sets of new clothes ordered from the Li Family silk shop were personally delivered by Li Cheng.

In the two days’ training, although he still couldn’t summon his martial spirits individually, but he had some headway. He believed he would succeed.

Within these two days, Li Lu came to visit Huang Xiaolong once at Tianxuan Mansion, bringing along Li Cheng. Naturally, she was depressed and sulky when she heard that Huang Xiaolong planned to go away and train in the Silvermoon Forest; however, before she left Tianxuan Mansion, Li Lu turned around and in a serious but resolute tone said to Huang Xiaolong, “Xiaolong, I will also work hard and cultivate to become a qualified wife for you!” After she made her declaration, she kissed Huang Xiaolong on the cheek.

Coming out from his room, Huang Xiaolong thought of the words Li Lu said yesterday and unconsciously, his hand rubbed the spot Li Lu kissed on his left cheek. Smiling bitterly to himself he thought, this girl!

One hour later, Huang Xiaolong had packed everything he needed into the Asura Ring and left Tianxuan Mansion, exiting the Royal City alone and walking towards the Silvermoon Forest.

This trip, although Fei Hou wasn’t with him, he brought the little violet monkey along. With the little guy, he wouldn’t feel dull and bored in the coming five months of hard training.
