Chapter 1860: What, He’s Huang Xiaolong?! (1/2)
Seeing that Shi Ming had kept mum, Massacring Gods Gate’s Old Ancestor Chu Han couldn’t hold back any longer, “Brother Shi Ming, since we can already confirm it’s that kid, I think we should act immediately and resolve this trouble once and for all. Huang Xiaolong, this runt is just too hard to predict and talented. If he is allowed to grow further, we might not be able to kill him even with our strengths.”
Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribe’s Old Ancestor finally spoke in an unhurried manner, “Do you think I don’t want to kill that kid as soon as possible? Don’t forget that we’re in the Devil World now, and not in Hell!”
Chu Han and Feng Chu both blanked for a second.
“Our identities are already exposed. Our every move is under the local forces’ scrutiny. The Heavenless Devil Legion has not come looking for us because we’re behaving. If we make a move to kill Huang Xiaolong, the Heavenless Devil Legion would surely swoop down on us!” Shi Ming’s words reverberated in the hall.
Chu Han and Feng Chu frowned after listening to Shi Ming’s explanation.
“What are we going to do then? Kill the Heavenless Devil Legion as well? Put aside the fact that we’re no match against them, and even if we could stand against them, it would evoke the entire Devil World’s ire. All the Archdevil Ancestors would come chasing at our heels. Do you both think we can fight against the whole Devil World?” Shi Ming continued.
The Heavenless Archdevil Lord had formed the Heavenless Devil Legion in the past. This legion of the army had been guarding the Devil World for ten billion years, even though Heavenless Archdevil Lord had been missing for so long. Thus, the Heavenless Devil Legion remained highly ‘respected' by the Devil World. Moreover, to a certain degree, the Heavenless Devil Legion maintained order in the Devil World on behalf of the Archdevil Lord.
If they dared to kill a Heavenless Devil Legion’s soldier, the Devil World’s various Archdevil experts would not sit still at all.
“Then, are we going to sit back and watch that Huang Xiaolong swagger arrogantly, and let him become more complacent?” Chu Han was unwilling. “Huang Xiaolong went all the way up to the top of the Devil Tower’s ninth floor, and he must have greatly benefited from that. Based on his potential, he would probably step into the Emperor Realm soon.”
“Moreover, there has been a rumor claiming that whoever reaches the top of the Devil Tower’s ninth floor has a high chance of obtaining the two devil steles, and even gather all six great devil steles! If that kid succeeds in gathering all six great devil steles, then no one will be able to suppress him in the whole universe!”
If Huang Xiaolong gathers all six devil steles, then he would be…?
The new Archdevil Lord?!
The new Archdevil Lord, on top of being the Lord of Hell. Just thinking of this possibility made Chu Han, Feng Chu, and Shi Ming’s hearts palpitate with an ominous feeling.
“That… is not possible, is it?” Fiend God Emperor Feng Chu lacked confidence even as he tried to refute it, “He’s already the Lord of Hell. He cannot be the Devil World’s Archdevil Lord too.”
Chu Han sniggered, “Though this has not happened since the beginning of time, who can say it’s impossible? Who made it a rule that the Lord of Hell cannot be the Devil World’s Archdevil Lord as well?”
Feng Chu was dumbfounded, unable to refute a word.
“Huang Xiaolong must be killed!” Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribe’s Old Ancestor Shi Ming spoke again. “But we must wait until he leaves the Eternal Devil City and heads to the Demonic Beasts Empires. As soon as he steps out of the Eternal Devil City, we will kill him! Send people to keep an eye on Huang Xiaolong. At the same time, have people watch the Mara Plains. When the Mara Plain’s miasma thins, that will be the time when Huang Xiaolong will leave the Eternal Devil City.”
“Yes, Great Lord.” Fiend God Emperor Feng Chu respectfully complied.
Massacring Gods Gate’s Old Ancestor, Chu Han merely nodded his head in agreement.
“However, before that kid leaves the Eternal Devil City, we can send some trouble his way.” Shi Ming said in a vindictive tone.
“Brother Shi Ming intends to…?” Chu Han looked in confusion at Shi Ming. So did Feng Chu.
“Heave people leak Huang Xiaolong’s identity.” Shi Ming sneered.
Chu Han and Feng Chu were surprised, but then both of them laughed as the implications occurred to them.
“Brother Shi Ming, that’s an excellent idea! Absolutely masterful!” Chu Han laughed wantonly.
While those within the walls of Eternal Devil City were still in a furor over Huang Xiaolong’s achievement in the Devil Tower, another news rose to the surface and stupefied everyone.
“That black-haired young man who successfully reached the top of Devil Tower’s ninth floor is the champion of Divine World’s Battle of the Heavenly Court! The King of Grandmist’s personal disciple Huang Xiaolong!”
“This Huang Xiaolong is also the new Lord of Hell!”
