Chapter 2397: Accepting the Inheritance (1/2)
“That’s right! This is the Four Seas Holy Symbol!” Huang Xiaolong revealed the plaque in his hands to everyone. “I believe all of you know the meaning of the Four Seas Holy Symbol. The one who possesses the symbol is the true successor of the Four Seas Holy Emperor!”
“The symbol represents the Four Seas Holy Emperor! Why aren’t you kneeling!”
Huang Xiaolong growled.
Staring at each other, the Eminent Elders and grand elders revealed a look of hesitation.
“What’s going on? Are you planning to go against the Holy Emperor’s teachings?” Huang Xiaolong snorted. His three saint godheads started to spin as he poured energy into the Four Seas Holy Symbol. In an instant, brilliant rays of light emerged and the phantom of a supreme expert descended.
The phantom was precisely the thread of consciousness the Four Seas Holy Emperor had left in the holy symbol.
When he appeared, the prestige of a True Saint descended and pressed down on everyone present.
“It’s the ancestor!”
Yu Jingjian and the others didn’t hesitate as they got to their knees instantly.
Waving his hand, Huang Xiaolong sent out hundred strands of grandmist holy aura. The moment they entered the bodies of the upper echelons of the holy gate, they reacted instantaneously.
“You… what did you just do to us?!” Bi Cheng stared at Huang Xiaolong as fire spewed from his eyes.
“It’s nothing. I merely laid down a single set of restriction in your bodies.” Huang Xiaolong sneered. “With just a thought, I will be able to make you disappear from existence.”
The faces of Yu Jingjian and the others turned ashen the moment they heard what he said.
“You!” Bi Cheng roared and prepared to lunge at Huang Xiaolong, but Huang Xiaolong was a little bit faster. He activated the strand of grandmist holy aura in Bi Cheng’s body and a miserable shriek rang through the air. It didn’t take long for him to be reduced into nothing but strands of grandmist aura.
In the next instant, Huang Xiaolong devoured the aura Bi Cheng had turned into.
Yu Jingjian and the other Eminent Elders couldn’t help but reveal a face of despair when they noticed what happened to Eminent Elder Bi Cheng.
“Is there anyone else who doesn’t believe me?” Huang Xiaolong swept his gaze across everyone present and asked.
He knew that none of them would accept him as the new patriarch of the Four Seas Holy Gate even if he had the Four Seas Holy Symbol. As such, he had decided to send a strand of grandmist holy aura into their bodies.
Killing Bi Cheng seemed to have frightened everyone else.
The look in his eyes caused the Eminent Elders of the Four Seas Holy Gate to tremble as they quickly swore their allegiance to him. Those who wanted to be like Bi Cheng and go against Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but dispel all thoughts of resistance.
If Huang Xiaolong would have shown up with the symbol without the strength to back himself up, there was no way for him to take control of the entire Holy Gate. However, everything was different now that he had the lives of the upper echelons of the Four Seas Holy Gate in his hands.
After controlling Yu Jingjian and the others, Huang Xiaolong felt that controlling anyone under them would be a waste of time.
Passing down his first order after gaining control of the Four Seas Holy Gate, Huang Xiaolong ordered for them to repair the grand formation. That wasn’t all. As soon as it was rebuilt, they were to fully open the grand formation in case anything happened to him during the time he spent receiving the inheritance. Moreover, all the disciples were prohibited from leaving the Holy Gate. At the same time, he ordered for all the transmission symbols to be confiscated.
Even so, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t be at ease. He arranged for all one thousand four hundred and thirty-two profound beasts to guard the surroundings.
With the grand formation they laid out, even if the hall masters and disciples from the Four Seas Holy Gate wanted to send out a warning to Lu Ding, they wouldn’t be able to do so.
