Chapter 290: Meeting Yao Fei Again
Three hours later, Huang Xiaolong made it back to the City of Myriad Gods from Broken Tiger Mountain, it was already midnight.
“Young Lord!” Qin Yang, Lifei, and the rest waited in front of a small courtyard for quite some time, when they spotted Huang Xiaolong, all of them hurried up to greet him.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and entered the courtyard.
Taking into consideration the time needed to explore the Four Seas Mountain’s dwelling, they would be spending quite a few days in the City of Myriad Gods, hence Huang Xiaolong decided to purchase a courtyard. The courtyard wasn’t large, but the price reached millions in units, although gold coins were the thing that Huang Xiaolong lacked the least of all.
Huang Xiaolong had lost count of the amount of gold coins the Nine Tripod Commerce earned these years, adding the riches acquired from the spatial rings of the Xiantian realm experts he killed on the way, these built up to a substantial wealth. Especially the band of exterminated Poison Saint Sect Elders and disciples.
Entering the yard, Huang Xiaolong excused Qin Yang and the other three people, reappearing in the Xumi Temple in a muted flash. Once there, he took out the two manuals, Great Void Divine Fist and Great Demonic Yin Sound, and started practicing. In recent days, ever since he had gotten these two manuals, Huang Xiaolong allocated some time to practice both skills and managed to achieve favorable results.
Within the Xumi Temple, Huang Xiaolong’s silhouette was seen constantly jumping and shifting positions, both hands forming firm fists as they punched out many times over, creating a series of intangible and surreal giant fist imprints that pierced through the air, striking onto the void. Intangible one moment and solid the next, mystical and strange. This was the Great Void Divine Fist.
Time elapsed, then Huang Xiaolong flicked his wrists, changing the energy circulation in his body as his pupils suddenly glowed dark, his mouth opened and soundwaves burst forth from Huang Xiaolong’s mouth like surging tidal waves, hitting the walls of Xumi Temple and bouncing out in all directions. The echoes lasted for a long time in the Xumi Temple hall.
Compared to that Poison Saint Sect Elder Jin Zhong’s display of the skill, the power of Huang Xiaolong’s attack had doubled the damage. By the time he was done with practicing these two skills, the sky already started to brighten, Huang Xiaolong stopped and exited the Godly Mt. Xumi.
When he came out of the Godly Mt. Xumi, Qin Yang, Lifei, Jie Dong, and Liu Chong were already waiting for him in a humble manner. Not wasting more time, the group of five headed to the auction house.
Due to the auction’s attraction this time around, people rushed from all over to the City of Myriad Gods, the crowd heading towards the auction house was like an endless river of people flowing in one common direction.
Although the distance wasn’t far, Huang Xiaolong’s group still used no less than half an hour to pass through the crowded doors. The message related to the Great Thousand Technique mid-grade Heaven rank cultivation technique, Peerless Wind Breaking Finger battle skill, and also the Herculean King’s jade had spread far and wide in the Bedlam Lands. Experts of different forces were rushing into the city to attend the auction.
“Look, that is Sin City’s Young Noble, Zhao Chen!” A sudden ruckus swept the crowd.
Attracted by the noisy crowd, Huang Xiaolong turned over to look, following the gazes of the crowd. A small path opened by itself between the initially crowd packed entrance, where a handsome young man dressed in a rich brocade robe walked in, escorted by a team of bodyguards.
“I didn’t expect that even Young Noble Zhao Chen would come here! I heard the Sin City’s Castellan has thirteen children, Young Noble Zhao Chen possesses the highest talent and is most favored by the Sin City’s Castellan!”
“I wonder what Young Noble Zhao Chen’s strength is, there were rumors about him breaking through the Saint realm as early as thirty years ago!” Boisterous discussions happened all at once amongst the crowd, many disciples of families and sects were looking at Zhao Chen with burning eyes full of worship.
Huang Xiaolong was a little surprise hearing the surrounding peoples’ discussions; the handsome young man in black brocade robe was actually one of the Sin City Castellan’s children?
Sin City, one of the top ten hegemony forces in the Bedlam Lands, in fact, it stood at the top of the list.
At this moment, protected by his guards, Zhao Chen was passing in front of Huang Xiaolong. Unsure whether it was intentional or not, when Zhao Chen was passing by Huang Xiaolong, he glanced at Huang Xiaolong from the corner of his eyes. Their eyes met, and at the same time, an invisible pressure swiftly enveloped Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong’s soul shuddered, but it was only for the briefest moment, and he managed to recover almost instantly. When he did, Zhao Chen and his guards had already entered into the auction hall.
