Chapter 424: Qin Family

Peng Zhuang too thought that Huang Xiaolong would not act recklessly in Treasure City, but still, for caution’s sake, he took out the transmission jade slip and reported the matter to Cosmos God Cult headquarters, requesting for expert reinforcements together with the message.

However, he was cursed with a splitting headache remembering Hu Guang’s father, Hu Chen.

Until now, Hu Chen had yet to know about Hu Guang’s death. Hu Guang was his only son, he was spoiled and pampered to the heavens, one could only imagine the severe consequences of Hu Chen’s wrath after finding out about his son’s tragic death in Enigma City.

Peng Zhuang sighed heavily in his heart. After all, Hu Guang was also his most cherished disciple, he was talented and had a good chance of advancing to Saint realm. He placed great hopes on this disciple, but he didn’t expect Hu Guang to die in Huang Xiaolong’s hands.

Huang Xiaolong! The more Peng Zhuang thought about it, the hotter his anger burned.

Huang Xiaolong was well aware that Hu Guang was his disciple and Hu Chen’s son, yet he still killed Hu Guang! It was evident that Huang Xiaolong did not put the Cosmos God Cult in his eyes!

Steward Tan An’s voice once again broke Peng Zhuang’s thoughts, “Castellan, this Huang Xiaolong is too audacious, how dare he kill Young Noble Hu Guang! He is challenging Cosmos God Cult’s prestige!”

“Exactly, we cannot allow Huang Xiaolong and Asura’s Gate to grow too bold, that’s too risky for our Cosmos God Cult!” Li Feng chimed in.

Peng Zhuang shook his head, “I understand the logic of your words, it’s just that Leader is absent at the moment.”

“Leader is absent?!” Tan An and the manor experts present were stunned.

Peng Zhuang nodded, “Leader has some very important matters and went to Peace Emperor World a few days ago. Otherwise, do you think Huang Xiaolong could take over the Asura’s Gate so easily? However, Leader was informed about Huang Xiaolong, Leader would definitely make it back in time before the Grand Martial Exchange.”

Tan An, Li Feng, and the present experts exchanged a silent look among themselves.

While Peng Zhuang was wrecking his head on how to break the news of Hu Guang’s death to Hu Chen, Huang Xiaolong was strolling the streets of Treasure City without aim, blending into the hive of activity around him.

Night gradually took over the sky.

The flurry of activity in Treasure City continued into the night, bright lanterns lit up shop fronts, small stalls, and entire streets.

Huang Xiaolong inquired around for the Qin Family’s residence and headed to his destination without dallying further.

The Qin Family could be considered as one of the more renowned families inside Treasure City, hence it was easy to inquire the location of their residence. A short while later, Huang Xiaolong appeared in front of the Qin Family’s doors and informed the disciples on guard duty at the entrance the purpose of his visit.

“You’re looking for our Patriarch?” The Qin Family disciple scrutinized Huang Xiaolong up and down doubtfully before saying, “This warrior, please wait a moment, I will report inside.” The guard turned around and ran inside.

In fact, with Huang Xiaolong’s strength, he could walk into the Qin Family’s residence without alerting anyone, but Huang Xiaolong’s purpose was to buy the eight stalks Dragon God Grass from the Qin Family Patriarch, a request to the other side.

Qin Residence’s main hall.

Qin Guoan and Qin Family Elders were gathered in the main hall in solemn ambiance, each person was solemn, with eyebrows furrowed at varying degrees. Clearly, the Qin Family was facing some troublesome matters at the moment.

From outside, a Qin Family disciple entered the hall, reporting, “Reporting to Patriarch, there’s a black-haired young man outside requests to meet with Patriarch.”

“A black-haired young man?” It was out of the blue for Qin Guoan, he asked the disciple, “Is he a disciple from families inside the city?”

That Qin Family disciple shook his head, “Not someone from the city, and his attire was very common.”

“I won’t see him, tell him to leave!” Qin Guoan ordered with annoyance climbing up his face, Qin Family’s matters weighed heavily on his mind at the moment.
