Chapter 1269: We Discovered This Place First! (1/2)

Shi Long, Chen Jianfeng, and other Short Blade Gate’s disciples were flying in Huang Xiaolong’s direction, when all of a sudden, the black mountain emitted a dazzling light and rich spiritual energy, up ahead of them.

But it was only for a split second, then everything disappeared as if it had never happened.

“Senior Brother Shi Long, that light just now, is…?!” Chen Jianfeng asked.

Other disciples also looked at Shi Long with astonished faces.

“We’re going over there to investigate.” A cold gleam shone in the depths of Shi Long’s eyes as he said this, and flew towards the black mountain’s peak. Chen Jianfeng and other disciples quickly followed behind him.

At the same time, other sects’ disciples who were in the vicinity had also sensed the burst of spiritual energy from earlier. They too hurried to the black mountain’s peak.

Huang Xiaolong who was diligently collecting the Eidolon Crystalline Rocks nearly jumped out of his skin in fright, due to the sudden burst of light and the spiritual energy on the black mountain’s peak.

He sighed, ‘Looks like it’s going to be impossible for me to monopolize these Eidolon Crystalline Rocks.’

Huang Xiaolong no longer held back his strength. His three supreme godheads spun to their limits, and godforce surged through his body and wrapped around the football-sized Eidolon Crystalline Rocks. He’d strive to collect as many as he could before other disciples arrived.

The little cow on the side wasn’t idle either. Her golden horns swung frequently, as purple lightning streaked out from her golden horns with each swing, collecting a black rock each time.

Shi Long, Chen Jianfeng, and the rest of their group reached the black mountain peak at their fastest speed.

By this time, the black mountain had returned to its original calmness. Nothing special could be seen.

“There’s someone ahead of us!” Shi Long discovered Huang Xiaolong and the little cow’s energy fluctuations, almost immediately. He jumped over the mountain’s peak in a single leap and spotted Huang Xiaolong and the little cow working hard to collect Eidolon Crystalline Rocks.

Shi Long didn’t recognize the Eidolon Crystalline Rocks, but watching Huang Xiaolong and the little cow collecting them with fervor, appearing almost manic, doubts rose in Shi Long’s mind.

“It’s him!” Chen Jianfeng, Zhao Yu, and several other Short Blade Gate’s disciples recognized Huang Xiaolong as they reached Shi Long’s side.

“You all recognize this person?” Shi Long sounded surprised.

“Yes, Senior Brother Shi Long.” Chen Jianfeng answered Shi Long. “Two hours ago, we saw this kid killing a swarm of late-Seventh Order Ancient God Realm Hell’s creatures. He merely used one slash of his sword to kill them. This proves that his strength is not weak, and it’s at least at the Eighth Order Ancient God Realm. This is the reason we remember him.” He completely edited out that Huang Xiaolong had saved them.

Shi Long nodded when Chen Jianfeng finished, “So, it’s like that.” Merely an Eighth Order Ancient God Realm disciple was not worthy of his attention.

Other sects’ disciples arrived consecutively at the black mountain.

There were Golden Phoenix Pavilion’s disciples, Roaming Celestial Cult’s disciples, and Swordless Sect’s disciples, and some other sects’ disciples.

Shi Long glanced at these newly arrived disciples and said in a threatening tone, “These black crystalline rocks were first discovered by us, the Short Blade Gate. If any of you dare to touch any of these black crystalline rocks, then don’t blame us for being rude!” Shi Long’s body exuded a heavy pressure to emphasize his words.

Although he didn't know what these black crystalline rocks were, he could tell that these black crystalline rocks were definitely not any ordinary spirit stones. So naturally, he didn’t want other sects’ disciples touching them.

Huang Xiaolong sneered inwardly, when he heard Shi Long’s claim that Shi Long was the one who had first discovered these Eidolon Crystalline Rocks.

“It’s Shi Long!”

Roaming Celestial Cult’s disciples and Swordless Sect’s disciples exclaimed in shock, as they recognized Shi Long from a distance.

“What a joke! Shi Long, if you claim that you are the first person to have discovered these black crystalline rocks, then who is your witness? I say these black crystalline rocks are discovered by our Golden Phoenix Pavilion, hmph!” A Golden Phoenix Pavilion’s disciple sneered.

Shi Long was able to deter the Roaming Celestial Cult and Swordless Sect’s disciples, but Golden Phoenix Pavilion’s disciples did not take his warning to heart.

“Zhang Yadong!” Shi Long frowned when he saw the Golden Phoenix Pavilion’s disciple, who had uttered those words.
