Chapter 1999: Entering the Radiance Flame Volcano (2/2)
Like a receding tide, the Reverence Moon Old Man’s Sovereign’s will returned to the Reverence Moon Academy. The feeling of suppression disappeared suddenly, and it was as though color returned to the lives of everyone present in the Reverence Moon Divine City. They felt as though they had managed to crawl back from the gates of hell.
Only after several minutes did the four deputy directors struggle to their feet. A complicated look filled their faces as they stared at Huang Xiaolong. Regardless of how angry or indignant they felt, they had no choice but to suppress the feeling and hide the look of resentment they had.
“World Lord... “ After a short hesitation, Bai Hui greeted Huang Xiaolong.
Seeing as the strongest out of them had already taken the first step, the three others stared at each other before greeting, “Lord World Leader!”
As for Gu Ting, he slowly made his way towards Huang Xiaolong with a cautious expression on his face. Forcing out a smile that had the intensity of a thousand suns, he yelled, “World Lord!”
Huang Xiaolong stared at Gu Ting for a second before slapping him across the face.
Gu Ting went reeling with a single slap from Huang Xiaolong.
After spinning a few rounds, he held his cheek as he cried out, “World Lord, you…”
“Didn’t you say that based on the rules of your Reverence Moon Divine City, you had to capture me?” Huang Xiaolong growled.
A twisted smile appeared on Gu Ting’s face, “World Lord, that… that was a misunderstanding!”
Huang Xiaolong swept a cold gaze across everyone present before turning around to leave with Ao Ping.
Bai Hui and the others stood rooted to their spot with an ugly expression on their faces. They were the ones who people sucked up to, not the other way round! They were used to the compliments, but they hardly ever gave them out. Even Dun Ei had to respect them! When had they ever suffered such ‘indignation?’
“Deputy deans, do we…” Gu Ting saw that there was no point in staying, and he quickly spoke up.
“Leave.” Bai Hui waved his arm and dismissed everyone. He was clearly irritated as he didn’t bother to pacify Gu Ting.
…
Several days later, Huang Xiaolong and Ao Ping arrived before the Radiance Flame Volcano.
Looking at the massive mountain before them, a look of shock flashed through their eyes.
The mountain really lived up to its name. As though it was formed from light itself, the mountain emitted resplendent rays of light. Bursts of flames occasionally shot out from the center of the mountain. The flames were clearly different from ordinary flames as they emitted blue, purple, green, and even red light!
“Go, I’ll wait here,” Ao Ping said.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, and he soared towards the peak of the mountain. In a flash, he disappeared.
Even though he had already accepted the Radiance Ancestor’s inheritance, the heat he felt after approaching the center of the mountain made him feel as though he was placed in a boiling cauldron.
After gritting his teeth and flying for several thousand feet, Huang Xiaolong arrived at the bottom of the flames. It was a world formed from lava, and white-hot lava emitted bursts of ashen flames. It was an eye-catching sight indeed.
Huang Xiaolong wasted no time as he summoned the fourteen winged angels.
After several minutes, Ao Ping saw Huang Xiaolong reappearing. When he emerged, even his eyebrows were emitting white flames.
