Chapter 2297: Holy Heavens (2/2)
With a single word, Huang Xiaolong asked Zheng Xu to bring out all the missions they had to slay disciples of the evil faction.
This time, he chose everyone in the Fourth Order Venerable Realm or weaker. With his current strength, none of them would be able to pose a threat to him.
Eventually, Huang Xiaolong picked out twenty missions in total.
Every single evil cultivator Huang Xiaolong chose to kill were under the Fourth Order Venerable Realm, and the strongest was only a Third Order Venerable. As for the weakest, it was a First Order Venerable Realm cultivator.
Of course, every single one he chose had either a complete dao saint godhead, saint bloodline, or saint physique.
After seeing how Huang Xiaolong took twelve mission slips in one go, Zheng Xu couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.
“Your Highness, are you really planning to take on all these missions by yourself?”
Even though Huang Xiaolong was currently the leader of the Holy Princes and was able to receive many benefits in addition to the special attention given to him by the doyens and Lord Di Huai, he would still be punished by the rules of the Holy Gate if he failed to complete the missions.
Out of the twelve missions he picked, there were indeed several of them that were nigh impossible to complete.
For example, the Third Order Venerable Huang Xiaolong chose to kill was called Zhou Ze. He had a Saint godhead and a Saint bloodline, and they were both ranked in the high one thousands! With Huang Xiaolong’s current strength, it was an impossible task to kill someone so much stronger than him!
“What? Am I not allowed to accept these missions?” Huang Xiaolong said, half-jokingly.
Zheng Xu shook his hands and explained, “No, no, no…. That’s not what I meant! Your Highness is currently the leader of the Holy Princes, and you can take as many missions as you want! However, there are several missions here that you might not be able to complete!”
Afraid that Huang Xiaolong was really unaware of the dangers, Zheng Xu broke down every aspect of the mission he chose.
Huang Xiaolong nodded his head after hearing the explanation and chuckled. “I will take note of what you said. When the missions are completed, I shall invite Hall Master Zheng to take a look at them.” Huang Xiaolong left the palace as soon as he spoke.
Zheng Xu stood rooted to his spot as he stared at Huang Xiaolong’s disappearing figure.
What happened just now?!
…
A month later…
In the Central Holy Continent, above a certain frozen lake, blood-red mist filled the skies. A look of disbelief appeared on the Nefarious King’s face as he stared at Huang Xiaolong before falling to the frozen land below.
…
Four months later…
In a random mountain cave in the Eastern Winged Crow Continent, Huang Xiaolong blew a hole through the chest of Cui Yun from the evil faction.
Several dozen minutes later, Huang Xiaolong left the cave with a dried-up corpse inside it.
Very quickly, three years passed.
In the three years, Huang Xiaolong completed eight missions and killed eight members of the evil faction.
Their strength ranged from the First Order Venerable Realm to the late-Second Order Venerable Realm.
After devouring their saint attributes, Huang Xiaolong’s saint godheads, saint bloodlines, and saint physique evolved at a terrifying rate. They became ranked in the two thousand by the time he was done.
As for his strength, he approached the peak of the late-Tenth Order Sovereign Realm, and his combat prowess took a leap forward.
Sitting in a courtyard in a branch of the Ancient Emperor Beast Continent, Huang Xiaolong took out the other mission slips. Those were the hardest ones, and the strength of all his remaining targets was at the Third Order Venerable Realm. The strongest of them all was Zhou Ze, at the late-Third Order Venerable Realm.
