Chapter 2280: Half-True Saint! (1/2)

Jiang Wuji, the Revered River Divine’s Sect Chief, patriarchs, and others stepped forward accordingly and saluted Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong had already guessed the identities of Tan Hongyi’s group. Thus he didn’t show much surprise after hearing that they were attending Jiang Wuji’s birthday banquet.

But when it was the Chen Family’s Patriarch Chen Kebin’s turn to salute Huang Xiaolong, Huang Xiaolong chuckled lightly as he asked, “You’re the Chen Family’s Patriarch? I attacked the Chen Family’s main residence not long ago, injuring your Chen Family’s two Eminent Elders and several thousand experts. Patriarch Chen, you won’t resent me in your heart for this, right?”

Chen Kebin was momentarily stunned being ‘ambushed’ by Huang Xiaolong out of nowhere, but he managed to squeeze a smile and said, “No, no, I dare not, Your Highness Holy Prince Huang Xiaolong. Your Highness must have had a good reason for doing that. How dare I, Chen Kebin, harbor any resentment towards Your Highness?!”

When the introductions were done, Jiang Tian and the rest cordially ‘invited’ Huang Xiaolong into the Jiang Family headquarters’ main hall.

After walking into the main hall, Huang Xiaolong saw that there were merely two seats placed at the center. He sneered inwardly as he took one step ahead, and sat on one of the two seats faster than anyone.

Everyone was stupefied by his action.

Even Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji were left dazed on the spot.

Gradually, the stupefied expressions on the patriarchs and sect chiefs’ faces turned into strange expressions.

“Huang Xiaolong, the center seats are intended for Jiang Tian and Jiang Family’s forefather. Who do you think you are to grab one of the center seats? Even our seats are further down.”

The Evolving Dragon Holy Ground’s Holy Prince Qu Jiangmeng couldn’t hold in his temper and snapped at Huang Xiaolong, “Quickly get off and roll down!”

A few of the Holy Princes of the Evolving Dragon Holy Ground, who had come to attend the banquet from millions of miles away, could only sit below the center seats. On the other hand, Huang Xiaolong, a new Holy Prince, who had entered the Zhuoyuan Holy Ground recently, had the guts to grab the center seat?!

Qu Jiangmeng was not the only person infuriated by this, but Tan Hongyi and the rest of Evolving Dragon Holy Ground’s Holy Princes were just as ticked off.

This Huang Xiaolong thinks everyone is beneath him!

Huang Xiaolong’s nonchalant gaze fell on Qu Jiangmeng as he gave a tepid response, “Just because you are only qualified to sit further down doesn’t mean others are not qualified to sit at the center.”

His current identity and status were already above Jiang Tian. Li Wen merely had not made a public announcement.

But to Tan Hongyi’s group, Huang Xiaolong’s words were full of ridicule and mockery.

Qu Jiangmeng laughed in anger, “Huang Xiaolong, do you really think others won’t dare to harm you because you are Zhuoyuan Holy Ground’s Holy Prince? Since you refuse to roll down, I’ll just have to make you!” Even as he spoke, he made a grabbing motion at Huang Xiaolong, intending to throw him out of the hall while shouting, “Roll down here for me!”

This Qu Jiangmeng was a peak mid-Tenth Order Sovereign Realm expert. With his strength, even many peak late-Tenth Order Sovereign Realm experts would have trouble resisting the force from his palm.

While many had already imagined the scene where Huang Xiaolong would be ‘helplessly’ thrown out of the hall by Qu Jiangmeng, Chen Kebin was especially anticipating Huang Xiaolong’s shameful end with a gloating heart. But one of the guardians behind Huang Xiaolong casually flicked his sleeve.

A powerful force that horrified Qu Jiangmeng swept out like a tsunami, tearing space.

Qu Jiangmei staggered backward until his body hit the main hall’s door, and he plopped to the floor on his butt.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this result.

“Half-True Saint!”

Several patriarchs exclaimed.

There were quite a number of Venerable Realm experts in the holy ground, but late-Tenth Order Venerables and peak late-Tenth Order Venerables were few in numbers. For example most of the Holy Gate’s several continent branch masters cultivations were between late-Tenth Order and peak late-Tenth Order Venerable Realm.

Only a half-True Saint was considered as a real powerhouse expert in the holy ground!

A half-True Saint was enough to make all the top Venerable sects, the most elite of families, even the Central Holy Dynasty’s imperial family walk on eggshells.

In the absence of a True Saint, a half-True Saint was a king.
