Chapter 2401: Four Seas Holy Fruit (2/2)
After bowing thrice to the statue, Huang Xiaolong left the Four Seas Holy Manor.
“Young Master, you’re finally out!” The two True Saints were overjoyed when they saw Huang Xiaolong emerging from the manor. The instant the gate opened, they jumped in joy.
“Congratulations on successfully accepting the Four Seas Holy Emperor’s inheritance and entering the half-True Saint Realm!” They didn’t miss a beat as they celebrated Huang Xiaolong’s success.
With a faint smile on his face, Huang Xiaolong asked, “Did anything happen in the Four Seas Holy Gate?”
Their expressions changed in an instant as they made the report to Huang Xiaolong.
“According to the reports, Lu Ding should be returning any day now!” The Departing Sword Sage reported, “We were afraid that Young Master wouldn’t be able to complete the inheritance by the time he returned. Now that you’re out, there is nothing for us to worry about.”
Now that Huang Xiaolong had accepted the Four Seas Holy Emperor’s inheritance, they could leave anytime they wanted.
“Young Master, should we leave now?” Chen Zhi asked. “Lu Ding had already sent a message to Yu Jingjian that he would be bringing the experts of the Beast Tamer Sect back to the Holy Gate. Yu Fujiang of the Beast Tamer Sect would be coming along with him, and there would be several True Saints accompanying them.”
With Yu Fujiang’s status as the leader of the Holy Princes of the Beast Tamer Holy Gate, there would definitely be several True Saint bodyguards by his side when he left the Holy Gate.
“Yu Fujiang…,” Huang Xiaolong sneered. “Since that’s the case, I’ll just wait for them here.” Of course, the reason he wanted to wait for Lu Ding and the others was because of the Four Seas Holy Furnace.
Hearing what Huang Xiaolong said, Chen Zhi and the Departing Sword Sage couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Had their Young Master formed some sort of grievance with Yu Fujiang?
“Young Master, the Beast Tamer Holy Gate probably sent more than a single True Saint Realm expert.” The Departing Sword Sage tried to dissuade Huang Xiaolong. “They might even have sent Second or Third Heaven True Saint Realm experts.”
Huang Xiaolong chuckled as he shook his head. “It’s fine.” With the Darkness Holy Ring and the Winged Dragon Flying Ship, even if high-level True Saints came, he was confident of leaving in one piece.
As such, Huang Xiaolong quickly rode onto a profound beast as they returned to the headquarters of the Four Seas Holy Gate.
“Young Master, Yu Jingjian said that Lu Ding’s return probably had something to do with the Four Seas Holy Fruit!” Chen Zhi explained.
“Four Seas Holy Fruit?” Huang Xiaolong was stunned for a second.
“Yes, Young Master. Yu Jingjian even said that the Four Seas Holy Fruits would ripen tomorrow.”
Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems like lady luck hasn’t left us yet.”
Even though Huang Xiaolong had tons of holy herbs in his Darkness Holy Ring, with some of them being more potent than the Four Seas Holy Fruits, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t picky when it came to treasures. After all, the more the merrier.
Chen Zhi laughed. “When Lu Ding returns and realizes that the Four Seas Holy Fruits are missing, his blood would probably flow in reverse.”
Laughter filled the air.
When the three of them returned to the main hall, Huang Xiaolong asked Yu Jingjian about Lu Ding once again. After gaining a better view of the situation, he dismissed them.
One day later, he retrieved both Four Seas Holy Fruits and kept them in his Darkness Holy Ring.
When he was finally done Huang Xiaolong waited patiently for Lu Ding to return.
“Young master, they have already entered the Four Seas Holy Grounds. They should arrive in half an hour,” The Departing Sword Sage reported.
