Chapter 2352: Ten Years Later (1/2)
When Huang Xiaolong arrived at the Devil Cave, the person in charge of the Devil Cave, Elder Zhang Sijin, was already waiting for Huang Xiaolong outside the Devil Cave’s entrance.
After spotting Huang Xiaolong from a distance, Zhang Sijin hurried towards Huang Xiaolong with a smile and saluted him respectfully, “Your Highness Huang Xiaolong, you’re here!”
This was a similar scene where a loyal servant would welcome the housemaster home.
Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, “Elder Zhang Sijin, it has been a few months since we last met. You look even more spirited.”
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s ‘words of concern,’ Zhang Sijin felt his feet were going lighter, and he straightened his shoulders. The smile on his face grew brighter. “This is due to Your Highness’ blessing.”
In fact, his words were not mere flattery.
The last time Huang Xiaolong had come to the Devil Cave to challenge the Devil Palace’s disciples, not only his strength had improved significantly, but he had also greatly raised the rank of his complete dao saint godheads. Thus the four Primal Ancestors had ordered Wu Ge to give Zhang Sijin a big reward.
Zhang Sijin naturally looked more spirited than ever after getting a big reward that was personally given by the Grand Hall Master Wu Ge himself.
Huang Xiaolong’s smile widened a fraction after hearing Zhang Sijin’s response, and the two proceeded to enter the Devil Cave.
Upon entering the Devil Cave, Huang Xiaolong did not linger around, and headed straight to the arena area.
Upon watching Huang Xiaolong’s action, Zhang Sijin immediately understood Huang Xiaolong’s intention. He bowed slightly as he inquired, “Your Highness Huang Xiaolong, should I have someone send over some of these Devil Palace disciples’ details?”
“No need, I am not done challenging the ones I picked the last time.” Huang Xiaolong added, “I’ll let you know when I need more.”
Zhang Sijin acknowledged respectfully.
On further thought, Huang Xiaolong added again, “This time, the first one I want to challenge is the Devil Palace’s disciple at the 30,000th stage.
The disciple at the 30,000th stage was called Qu Yuyuan, who had a complete dao saint godhead ranked ninety-nine. Qu Yuyuan’s saint bloodline also ranked in the top one hundred, at ninety-seven.
Qu Quyuan’s cultivation realm was at the peak late-Fourth Order Venerable.
“Yes, the subordinate will go make the arrangements now!” Zhang Sijin did not doubt Huang Xiaolong’s decision at all, and hurried away to prepare for Huang Xiaolong’s challenge.
Originally, when a Holy Heavens’ disciple entered the Devil Cave to challenge Devil Place's disciples in the arena, he needed to go through a series of procedures, and the disciples needed to handle them personally. Not to mention the several hours of waiting that they needed to do. However, the procedures for Huang Xiaolong’s every challenge were handled by Zhang Sijin. This saved Huang Xiaolong a lot of trouble and time.
It wasn’t long before Zhang Sijin returned after completing the necessary procedures for Huang Xiaolong, and then he accompanied Huang Xiaolong towards the stage number thirty thousand.
In the short time it took Huang Xiaolong to reach the 30,000th stage, the stage’s surroundings were already crowded with Holy Heavens’ disciples.
Huang Xiaolong was caught off guard by the crowd. He hadn't arrived at the Devil Cave for long, yet so many disciples had gotten wind of it. It seemed that news traveled really fast around here.
“Your Highness Huang Xiaolong!”
“Your Highness Huang Xiaolong!”
From afar, these Holy Heavens’ disciples saluted Huang Xiaolong with respect and great enthusiasm.
Huang Xiaolong nodded at the crowd then leaped onto the stage.
There was a middle-aged bald man sitting cross-legged on the battle stage, black devilish runes ran down his face. This was the peak late-Fourth Order Venerable Devil Palace’s disciple, Qu Yuyuan.
……
A minute later.
On stage number 30,000, Qu Yuyuan laid lifeless.
Although Qu Yuyuan was a peak late-Fourth Order Venerable expert that possessed a complete dao saint godhead in the top hundred, he did not pose any danger to the current Huang Xiaolong.
Even before Huang Xiaolong had cultivated at the Fire and Ice Lake, it would not have taken much of an effort for him to kill Qu Yuyuan. Not to mention that Huang Xiaolong was much stronger now. His soul had transformed, getting closer to becoming a holy soul and his cultivation had entered mid-Fourth Order Venerable from early Fourth Order Venerable Realm.
After devouring Qu Yuyuan’s complete dao saint godhead and saint bloodline, Huang Xiaolong did not stop. He left the scene then entered a chamber to cultivate and absorb the energies from Qu Yuyuan’s complete dao saint godhead and saint bloodline.
