Chapter 1807: Barging into the Heavenly Court Lightning Pool (1/2)
“Huang Xiaolong…” Yan Tianchen laughed when he saw Huang Xiaolong’s arrival. His smile was gentle, and there were no traces of any injuries left from the battle between him and Huang Xiaolong’s two odd beasts.
Huang Xiaolong nodded his head and said, “I wish to cultivate in the Heavenly Court Lightning Pool. Open the gates.”
Yan Tianchen seemed to have anticipated whatever Huang Xiaolong wanted to say, and he chuckled, “Of course. As the winner of the Battle of the Heavenly Court, you are allowed to cultivate in the lightning pool whenever you wish. However, The keys aren’t with me right now, and I can’t open the gate.”
Huang Xiaolong was stunned, and he narrowed his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
Yan Tianchen laughed. “Only our Emperor has the key to open the gates.”
“Why don’t you ask Di Jun for the keys then?”
When Shi Yu, who was standing behind Yan Tianchen, heard what Huang Xiaolong said, he raged. “Preposterous! How dare you call the Heavenly Emperor by name?! Do you really think that we can’t deal with you just because of your identity as the King of Grandmist’s disciple?”
Huang Xiaolong didn’t bother glancing at Yu Shi, and he merely turned to Yan Tianchen.
Raising his arm, Yan Tianchen stopped Yu Shi. “I have no idea. Our Heavenly Prince received grave injuries, and the Heavenly Emperor brought him to a mysterious place to recover. No one knows where he is right now, and I can’t retrieve the key from him.”
Huang Xiaolong sneered in response.
Damn you, Di Jun! How dare you use such a lousy excuse to prevent me from entering the lightning pool!
“If Di Jun refuses to show himself, the lightning pool won’t be open. Am I right?” A smile formed on Huang Xiaolong’s face.
Yan Tianchen put on a serious face as he said, “That’s right! Please take your leave. We will call for you as soon as he comes back.”
Huang Xiaolong chuckled in response. “Do you really think I’ll leave?”
Yu Shi was unable to hold himself back any longer, and he screamed, “The Heavenly Court Lightning Pool is the core region of the Heavenly Court. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want here? If you dare to barge into the lightning pool, you’ll receive the death sentence! We’ll kill your relatives and anyone related to you! Even if we take you down, your master, the King of Grandmist, won’t be able to save you! We’ll uphold the rules of the Heavenly Court no matter what happens!”
Huang Xiaolong nearly laughed out loud in response. “Are you sure?” The space behind him fluctuated, and the two odd beasts appeared again.
Yan Tianchen felt his vision going blurry.
In a secret space somewhere deep in the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Di Jing were soaring through the air. On the surface, Di Jing’s injuries had healed entirely.
“Father, are you really going to allow Huang Xiaolong to cultivate in the lightning pool?” Di Jing knew that Huang Xiaolong had the chaos lightning pool and felt extremely unsettled that Huang Xiaolong’s strength would increase once again.
“Don’t worry about that.”
Di Jun laughed and continued, “The keys are with me. I’ve activated the Locking Dragon Formation on the gates, and no matter how Huang Xiaolong tries, he won’t be able to enter the lightning pool. Even if he brings out the two beasts, he won’t be able to break the formation.”
When he mentioned Huang Xiaolong, a trace of killing intent rose inside Di Jing. A cold light flashed through his eyes. He felt that he wouldn’t be able to relax unless he killed Huang Xiaolong. Even though Huang Xiaolong was the disciple of the King of Grandmist, he thought that he should be the only genius in the world! “I’m the embodiment of Heavenly Dao itself! As soon as I break through to the Emperor Realm, no one in the world will be able to kill me! No one can threaten my position as the strongest talent the world has ever seen!”
Di Jun nodded his head and comforted his son, “Don’t worry. Your injuries will heal in no time with me around. I also obtained news about the Heavenly Dao Stone. With it, you’ll definitely be able to enter the Emperor Realm!”
“However, I have no confidence to deal with both the King of Grandmist and Jiang Hong’s rage. We can’t touch Huang Xiaolong for now.”
“Imperial Father, please be at ease.”
