Chapter 480: Submit
Reaching the edge of the Nine Dragons Temple territory, Huang Xiaolong flew straight toward the Nine Dragons Temple without stopping.
The Nine Dragons Temple was acknowledged as the demonic beast clans’ top force, with their influence spanning an expansive land area equivalent to six-tenths of the beastmen’s. Even so, with Huang Xiaolong’s current speed, he reached the Nine Dragons City in a day’s travel.
The city nestled itself in nature, undulating mountains surrounding it in all four directions. The city was practically weaved into the mountains, and the Nine Dragons Temple was located right at the center of the city.
Towering structures monopolized the buildings inside the Nine Dragons City, its city walls were double the height of the Sacred Tiger City’s and wider than normal city gates entrance, enough to allow a hundred people standing side by side to pass at the same time.
With just the first step inside the Nine Dragons City, Huang Xiaolong was nearly overwhelmed by the strong demonic qi unique to the demonic beasts. Looking up at the sky above the Nine Dragons City, the demonic qi actually formed thick clouds above it!
In fact, the Nine Dragons City existed since ancient times and many demonic beast experts stayed in the city, therefore it wasn’t strange that thick demonic qi clouds hovered above the city from the long accumulation period of several tens of thousands of years. They neither reduced nor easily dissipated.
The demonic beast clans on the Ten Directions Continent originated from humans copulating with demonic beasts that had taken human form in the ancient era and they grew through generations of reproduction.
Therefore, the demonic beast clans possessed the outer appearance of a human but the terrifying defense of a demonic beast, exuding strong demonic qi.
These demonic beast clans cultivated beast cores inside their bodies, unlike humans that formed a Qi Sea. Moreover, they had a unique beast taming art that enabled demonic beast expert with a powerful spiritual sense to control two to three demonic beasts at the same level as them. This was what made others wary of the demonic beast clans.
Entering the Nine Dragons City, Huang Xiaolong leisurely strolled on the streets. He noticed that the pedestrians around were mostly demonic beast experts, with an occasional beastmen or sea tribe member passing by.
Even rarer were humans, and those people only came to the city with business.
…
At this time, inside the Nine Dragons Temple.
Nine people were sitting in the great hall, one of them was none other than Ao Kun, who fled away in a sorry state after being defeated by Huang Xiaolong in the Elf Forest. Sitting in the main seat was a stalwart young man with an imposing aura, clad in a deep mulberry-purple brocade robe. Even with him simply sitting there, he gave others a feeling that he was overlooking the world.
This young man was one other than the Nine Dragons Temple Master, Ao Kun, the demonic beast clans’ strongest expert and also the Ten Directions Continent’s number one persona!
No one knew exactly how strong Ao Kun was. What the public knew was that five hundred years ago, the beastmen’s Lion Tribe Patriarch Andrew, Tiger Tribe Patriarch Chuck, and Snake Tribe Patriarch Danny lost three against one, easily defeated by Ao Kun!
Since then, no one had seen Ao Kun battle again in the last five hundred years.
“More than a month has passed, that brat still hasn’t shown up!” Ao Shen grumbled, his temper flaring.
“Sixth brother, you think that brat will really dare to come?” Sitting in the seat closer to the center, ranked fifth amongst the nine brothers, Ao Feng, taunted. “Only those with big muscles with no brains like you believe that he'll show up!”
“What did you say?!” Ao Shen leaped to his feet in anger.
“Enough.” Ao Kun sitting at the top spoke with an air of nonchalance, “Stop bickering.”
Only then did Ao Shen let out a snort and returned to his seat.
“Attack few days ago, the Ape Deity Temple Master’s son was killed, how do you all see this matter?” Ao Kun asked.
“Big brother, you’re saying that the person who killed the Ape Deity Temple Master’s son and the person who defeated Sixth brother are one and the same?” Second Bro Ao Sen tested inquired.
Ao Kun nodded, “It's a possibility.”
“But, I cannot figure it out, when did such a freaky younger generation appear in our Martial Spirit World?” Third bro Ao Bi exclaimed: “He defeated Sixth bro in ten moves!”
