Chapter 1918: Fang Chu’s True Identity (1/2)
Seeing the situation, Wu Zetian hesitated but still said to Huang Xiaolong through voice transmission, ”Brother, I advise you to leave. By the time the banquet ends, you might not be able to leave anymore.”
Although Peaceful Sea Emperor did not mind Huang Xiaolong’s action, what about later after everyone left?
An Emperor’s prestige couldn’t be insulted. For those who dared to do so, exterminating their family was considered as a light punishment.
Even if Peaceful Sea Emperor did not take action personally, some people would always be willing to do it for him and use the credit of eliminating Huang Xiaolong to fawn over the Peaceful Sea Emperor.
Huang Xiaolong seemed surprised as he looked at the middle-aged man Wu Zetian. Although Wu Zetian gave him a warning through a voice transmission, it increased Huang Xiaolong’s goodwill towards him.
“Don’t worry. If I want to leave, a Peaceful Sea Emperor Palace can’t stop me.” Huang Xiaolong smiled and replied to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was momentarily dumbfounded by Huang Xiaolong’s reply and gave up on persuading him further.
Right at this time, hearty sonorous laughter broke the awkward atmosphere.
Everyone turned and saw a group of experts clad in the Luring Lighting Clan’s standard brocade robe arriving in the whistling winds.
The person leading the group was a short and rounded middle-aged man with a lightning-shaped divine rune on his forehead. Half a step behind him was a handsome young man.
Both of them exuded the aura of an Emperor Realm expert.
No doubt, one of these two was the Lightning Clan’s Patriarch, Lei Kaiyuan, while the other was his personal disciple, Chen Nan, who had recently broken through to Emperor Realm. He was the main character of the celebration ceremony this time.
“Peaceful Sea Emperor attending this banquet personally is our Luring Lightning Clan’s honor ah.” From afar, the Lightning Clan’s Patriarch Lei Kaiyuan’s voice echoed loudly in the air.
This Lightning Clan’s group would have to pass by the guests sitting in the outer halls to enter the inner hall.
Seeing the Lightning Clan’s Patriarch Lei Kaiyuan and Chen Nan, the guests sitting in the outer hall stood up again to welcome them.
Huang Xiaolong blanked for a second when he saw Chen Nan, then stood up with an unexpected and unbelievable expression on his face.
Seeing that Huang Xiaolong had actually stood up this time, the middle-aged man Wu Zetian inwardly heaved a sigh in relief. Did this brat finally figure it out?
Moments later, Lei Kaiyuan, Chen Nan, and the rest of the group descended at the outer hall, then walked into the inner hall.
But Huang Xiaolong was still standing. Soon after, the guests in the outer hall saw him walk out from the obscured corner, and their gazes continued to follow him.
Huang Xiaolong ignored these curious glances and strode straight through the entryway to the inner hall.
“What does this kid want to do? Enter the inner hall?” One of the experts sitting in the outer hall snickered mockingly.
“Haha, who knows, maybe when the Peaceful Sea Emperor sees him, he would pardon that kid and even give him a seat inside.” Another expert chortled.
As the others ridiculed Huang Xiaolong behind his back, he had reached the entryway to the inner hall.
The two Lightning Clan’s Grand Elders standing guard at the entryway pulled their faces straight, seeing Huang Xiaolong appear. One of them reached out and blocked Huang Xiaolong, “This friend, please return to your seat in the outer hall.”
But Huang Xiaolong’s gaze was fixed on Chen Nan, and he ignored the two of them and strode into the inner hall.
His action instantly enraged the two Lightning Clan’s Grand Elders. Both reached out to grab Huang Xiaolong with the intention of throwing him out.
The next thing they knew was that a shadow blurred in their views, and before they understood what was going on, pain coursed through their bodies as both were thrown towards the inner hall.
