Chapter 403: None of You Can Escape!
“Wang Gang.” Huang Xiaolong repeated the name in a sneer,“It’s already been two months. Chen Tianqi and Deities Templar must feel anxious waiting for us, it’s time to let them know that we’ve arrived in Central Oblast!”
“Let’s go!”
Huang Xiaolong and the rest flew in the direction Zhao Shu indicated earlier. The Asura’s Gate branch was on the Buji Island, located on the south side of the Peach Blossom Sea, in fact, it was close to where Huang Xiaolong had appeared earlier. Thus, in less than half an hour, they already spotted the Buji Island from a distance away.
Standing in the air above the Buji Island, Huang Xiaolong could see that the island had a large land area with a towering city erected in the center of the island. Although it could hardly compare to an imperial city, it greatly dwarfed any kingdom’s royal city.
“Let’s go down.” Huang Xiaolong said. Leading the group, he gently floated down to the island.
Entering Buji City, the first thing Huang Xiaolong noticed was that this Buji City was bigger and more prosperous than he had imagined, no less than the imperial cities.
People bustling with activity could be found everywhere, it was extremely lively.
Zhao Shu spoke, “Sovereign, this Peach Blossom Sea is resource-rich, from sea beasts to ore mines, spirit herbs, and elixirs, amongst others. Buji City is one of the main trading hubs, that’s why it’s so busy.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
On both sides of the street, peach blossom trees were planted at intermittent distances, and at this time of the year, they bloomed gloriously. The peach blossoms added a soothing element to the flurry of activity around.
‘If Li Lu was here, she’d like this Buji City.’ The thought flickered in Huang Xiaolong’s mind, he knew that Li Lu liked peach blossoms.
Peach blossoms in the spring were clean and romantic.
At this time, in Buji City’s Castellan Manor.
Wang Gang, who had a smaller build than the average men, was listening to his subordinate steward reporting Buji City’s current annual revenue. When the steward was finished with his report, Wang Gang asked, “Recently, has any individual that is out of the ordinary enter Buji City?”
The steward shook his head, replying that there were none.
Wang Gang waved his hand at the subordinate, excusing him.
“Master, is that Huang Xiaolong really as frightening as the rumors claim to be?” A young man who has been present the entire time at the side couldn’t resist asking. This young man was Wang Gang’s eldest disciple, Deng Tong.
Wang Gang gave his eldest disciple a quick glance, saying, “ I know that you are very talented and had a fortuitous adventure in the past, among the younger generation, you have yet to meet anyone that could be your opponent. However, there is a Heaven beyond the Heaven, mountains beyond mountains. Keep in mind Master’s words, never underestimate anyone.”
Deng Tong possessed a grade thirteen martial spirit, and by some fortuitous adventure, swallowed some ancient divine grade spirit pellets and elixirs and obtained a unique cultivation technique left behind by an ancient God Tribe master, enabling him to break through to Saint realm in a short hundred years of cultivation. In the Central Oblast and the surrounding oblasts, he had never met a worthy opponent amongst the younger generation.
Deng Tong was unwilling, “Master, in my opinion, this Huang Xiaolong is nothing but a little lucky. If I could get Heavenly Treasures like the God Binding Ring and the Absolute Soul Pearl like him, my cultivation speed would not be slower than his, maybe even faster. Moreover, it’s unknown what kind of dog shit luck he ran into, to be able to subjugate a bunch of Poison Corpse Scarabs, that’s about the only thing that other people fear. He has no real strength of his own.”
Wang Gang shook his head in silence at Deng Tong’s words. He understood that this youth had always been a proud and hot-blooded individual.
“Master, two months ago, that Huang Xiaolong was already in the South Oblast, but he has yet to appear here in the Central Oblast even after two months, he’s probably afraid to show up!” Deng Tong continued, “Who knows, maybe he got wind that Deities Templar’s Grand Elder Liu Yang brought over Divine Dragon Armors and we no longer fear those Poison Corpse Scarabs, that’s why he dares not show up now!”
