Chapter 1015: Zhao Chenyuan’s Suspicion (1/2)

“Greetings, Sect Chief!” Chen Xiong, Zhu Wanchen, and the several core disciples stepped forward and knelt in salute.

Chen Hao and Huang Xiaolong also stepped up to salute Gu Ling, but due to the status granted by their king rank godheads, neither of them were required to kneel. This was their special right.

Gu Ling nodded. Together with Lin Shen, Cao Yang, Zhuang Xuan, and the others, he looked at Chen Hao and Huang Xiaolong.

“Chen Hao, this matter ends here. If this happens again, I will punish you according to the rules.” Gu Ling warned Chen Hao, his tone irrefutable.

It was clear Gu Ling was genuinely angry this time.

“Yes, Sect Chief.” Chen Hao respectfully complied. At this point, he dared not refute the Sect Chief in public.

Seeing this slightly eased Gu Ling’s expression as he looked at the collapsed mansion behind Huang Xiaolong. As an afterthought, he added, “You destroyed Huang Xiaolong’s Sanctity of Order Mansion, this Sect Chief will deduct a year of your monthly allowance and give it to Huang Xiaolong as compensation.”

Chen Hao’s smooth brows creased a little, but he still complied in the end.

Gu Ling finally nodded with satisfaction at Chen Hao’s behavior.

However, right at this time, Huang Xiaolong who had been silent this entire time suddenly spoke, “Sect Chief, I would like to challenge Chen Hao!”

“What?!” Out of everyone’s expectation, Huang Xiaolong actually wished to challenge Chen Hao, even Gu Ling was stunned by this request.

Subsequently, Cao Yang, Zhuang Xuan, Huang Junfei, and the other Grand Elders close to Chen Hao snickered in contempt as they looked at him. This Huang Xiaolong’s Sanctity of Order Mansion was just destroyed by Chen Hao and he was nearly forced to kneel, he had basically lost all face. But now was he was trying to use this challenge as an excuse to restore some face?

‘He truly doesn't know how to write the word ‘death’!’

Chen Hao slowly tilted his head in Huang Xiaolong’s direction, erupting into sudden laughter. Anyone could hear the ridicule and disdain in his voice.

Gu Ling’s face turned grim, snapping at Huang Xiaolong, “Nonsense!”

Just like everyone else, he thought that Huang Xiaolong was too impulsive and only wanted to regain some face, thus recklessly uttering some foolish words.

Huang Xiaolong watched Chen Hao, who was barely able to stand straight from laughing, and said, “Chen Hao, I officially challenge you in the upcoming battle for the chief disciple position, dare you accept?”

Truthfully, Huang Xiaolong challenging Chen Hao wasn't because he was impulsive.

Although Chen Hao complied with Gu Ling’s orders, it didn't mean he wouldn't cause trouble for Huang Xiaolong in the near future. If he was within the Barbarian God Sect, Chen Hao would not personally attack him, but what if he left the sect? He couldn’t hide here forever.

Moreover, although it might be inconvenient for Chen Hao to do anything himself, he had his cronies and others who were willing to obey him. Instead of waiting for a hidden arrow out of nowhere, it was better to challenge Chen Hao.

This way, Chen Hao’s hands would be restricted to a certain degree until the chief disciple competition.

Everyone was a little stupefied looking at Huang Xiaolong, he wanted to challenge Chen Hao to battle during the chief disciple competition?

Chen Hao stopped laughing and observed Huang Xiaolong with bloodthirst in his eyes, mocking, “Dare I accept?” He turned toward Gu Ling, “Sect Chief, you’ve seen it for yourself. This is Huang Xiaolong himself challenging me to battle, I am not to blame.” Then he scoffed at Huang Xiaolong, “Huang Xiaolong, I accept your challenge. On the battle stage, I will make sure you understand the tragic consequences of offending me, Chen Hao!”

“Sect Chief, if there’s nothing else, we will take our leave.” Chen Hao bowed slightly at Gu Ling.

Gu Ling opened his mouth, but could only nod in the end.

Chen Hao, Chen Xiong, Zhu Wanchen, and the others flew away.

Gu Ling looked at Huang Xiaolong, unable to disguise the disappointment in his eyes as he shook his head. He then turned to Lin Shen and the other Grand Elders, “Let’s go.”
