Chapter 1240: It Was First Discovered By My Family (1/2)

After a scheme appeared in his mind, Zhou Xu chased after Huang Xiaolong's group with a bright smile on his face.

Tan Lin and the other two were dubious of Zhou Xu's action.

At this point, Li Lu, Huang Xiaolong, Wu Qian'er, and Luo Yunjie also saw Guo Gang and his guards blocking everyone’s path and checking through their spatial rings for golden beads, while they were returning from the golden beads volcano to the Golden Wheel City.

Huang Xiaolong continued flying with Li Lu and others toward the Golden Wheel City.

“Stop right there!” When Huang Xiaolong’s group was about to fly past Guo Gang’s check point, one of the guards barked as he blocked their path.

The guard frowned slightly recognizing the Fortune Gate disciple robes worn by Huang Xiaolong’s group and softened his expressions as he spoke, “Don’t you know the rules? Everyone must be checked before they are permitted to leave.”

“Are these Golden Wheel City’s rules?” Huang Xiaolong asked indifferently.

The guard glared at Huang Xiaolong stating, “Our Young Master Guo’s words are the rules here.”

“Excuse me, I don’t think your Young Master Guo’s words can be considered as rules.” Huang Xiaolong shook his head.

The guard’s slightly amiable expression turned cold in an instant, “Punk, don’t think that just because you are a Fortune Gate disciple, we won’t dare to deal with you. In Golden Wheel City, whoever dares to violate our Young Master Guo’s words, ends up being extremely miserable, irrespective of their identity!”

“How much miserable do you mean by extremely miserable?” Huang Xiaolong said with a hint of bloodthirst.

The guard was enraged by Huang Xiaolong’s words. A cold metallic glint flashed as a long blade appeared in his hand.

“What’s going on here?” Guo Gang came over with several of his guards. Under the setting sun, Guo Gang’s icy blue hair emitted a demonic blue glow as it hung loosely over his shoulders.

Coming to a halt in front of Huang Xiaolong’s group, Guo Gang stared fixedly at Li Lu and Wu Qian’er’s faces and smiled, “So it’s Fortune Gate’s Miss Li Lu and Miss Qian’er. When Changzhi Hongfei had told him about Li Lu, Guo Gang had sent people to investigate the identities of Huang Xiaolong’s group.

Both Li Lu and Wu Qian’er kept silent.

The smile on Guo Gang’s face did not diminish despite the two young women’s silence, and he introduced himself. “I am Guo Gang and Golden Wheel City’s City Castellan Guo is my father.” He went on, “Everyone that looks for golden beads, regardless of who they are, their spatial rings must be checked before they could leave. This is a rule, therefore, although two young misses are Fortune Gate disciples, I cannot make a special exception ah.” Guo Gang even made a troubled face as he said this to look genuine.

However, Guo Gang didn’t take notice of Huang Xiaolong and Luo Yunjie during this entire exchange, as if both men were invisible like the air.

“Everyone looking for the golden beads must be inspected before they can leave?” Wu Qian’er’s temper flared up, “Does this volcano belong to your family? We have searched very hard for these golden beads, so why should we give you one? What gives you the authority to make such unjustifiable demand.”

Huang Xiaolong and Luo Yunjie exchanged a glance as they both gave Wu Qian’er a silent thumbs up.

The cultivators nearby also cheered for Wu Qian’er in their hearts when they heard her words.

Guo Gang’s frosty blue eyes were focused on Wu Qian’er, “Miss Qian’er, maybe you aren’t aware, but indeed, this volcano belongs to our family because it was first discovered by us. The fact that anyone can come here to look for the spiritual energy golden beads is nothing but our generosity, therefore, it is warranted that we collect one golden bead from those who find two or above.”

The corner of Guo Gang’s lips curved into a sinister smile.

Wu Qian’er was indignantly speechless.

Guo Gang’s face was too thick as he lied with his eyes open. Everyone could come here to look for golden beads because his family were generous?! This volcano was discovered by their family?!

The surrounding cultivators were also angry listening to Go Gang's words but no one dared to refute.

”You say this volcano was discovered by your family?” Huang Xiaolong interjected. ”I say this volcano is discovered by me; not only this volcano but the Ten Thousand Elephant Mountain is also discovered by me!”
