Chapter 562: Occupied By Another (2/2)

In the entire history of the inner disciples, Huang Xiaolong was probably the only one to receive this level of courtesy.

After leaving the Supreme Harmony Hall, he did not immediately head to his own courtyard, but returned to the Institute Principal’s manor to inform his Master of this matter.

At first, Institute Principal Feng Yang disagreed to let Huang Xiaolong moving out. Even though Huang Xiaolong was promoted to inner disciple and had his own courtyard, the spiritual energy there couldn't compare to his manor. He worried that it would have an adverse effect on Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation.

However, seeing that Huang Xiaolong had decided, Feng Yang no longer insisted.

“Fine then.” Institute Principal Feng Yang relented, “Still, you can come here anytime to practice. If you encounter any problems in cultivation, you can also come ask me at any time.”

A warm feeling spread over in Huang Xiaolong’s heart. To his knowledge, even the Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother Liu Yun, Second Senior-Apprentice brother and Third-Senior Apprentice-sister did not have the privilege to come over and ask their Master for guidance at any time, much less cultivate here.

“Yes, Master.” Huang Xiaolong respectfully complied.

Institute Principal Feng Yang’s mouth opened, wanting to say more, but in the end, he merely said, “Good, if there’s nothing else, you can go.”

Huang Xiaolong saluted properly and retreated out.

Leaving the manor, Huang Xiaolong made his way to the Misty Rain Mountain Range, where all the inner disciple's courtyard were located.

The Misty Rain Mountain Range was on the northern corner of the Black Warrior World, a long distance away from the Central Region. Based on Huang Xiaolong’s full speed of flying, he used an entire day’s time to arrive at the mountain range.

Standing in the air and looking down from afar, one could see the peaks of the Misty Rain Mountain Range, which were shrouded with ethereal pillows of mist that looked like soft rain.

Orderly buildings lined the peaks of this Misty Rain Mountain Range, close to twenty or thirty thousand in number.

At first, Huang Xiaolong thought that the number of inner disciples would only be a few thousand despite the large number of outer disciples, but he found out that the number of Black Warrior Institute inner disciples was close to a staggering twenty thousand people. It was a few days ago, and it truly gave him a shock.

But he quickly figured it out, any one of the Black Warrior Institute’s outer disciples was a talent. Though it may be difficult for others to break through to God Realm, for them, the difficulty was much lower.

Moreover, once one broke into the God Realm, their natural lifespan increased exponentially, with years of accumulation, it was nothing strange that there would be twenty thousand inner disciples.

Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation courtyard was arranged on one of the higher peaks, where the spiritual energy was denser and ample. Thus, the cultivation courtyards located on the peaks were the most ideal.

Generally, the cultivation courtyards of newly promoted inner disciples would be arranged closer to the foothills, but Huang Xiaolong was placed on a peak. Other than him obtaining first place in the outer disciple assessment, he also dipped in the Institute Principal’s light, receiving some extra benefits.

In a flicker, Huang Xiaolong flew to one of the peaks, reaching it in a few breaths’ time. There were a dozen courtyards on the peak, and Huang Xiaolong found his quick enough.

“Yard No.1” Huang Xiaolong glanced toward a courtyard shrouded in dense spiritual energy and walked over. This was the courtyard arranged for him, but when he reached the door, a frown appeared on his brows.

Because he noticed that the array formation was activated, showing that there was already someone living inside.

What is happening?!

Did he make a mistake?

He looked up, above the main door. Written in three big ancient characters, it clearly stated that this was Yard No.1. Was his yard occupied by another? Moreover, that person was presumptuously cultivating inside!
