Chapter 2415: He Can’t Be Any Stronger Than An Eighth Order Venerable (2/2)

Di Huai was the first to speak up, “According to the news circulating out there, even Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints won’t be able to qualify.”

It was clear that only True Saints had the ability to guarantee their spot in the top three hundred.

Even though Di Huai, Zhang Wenyue, and the others had complete confidence in Huang Xiaolong, they couldn’t help but doubt his ability when it came to the Trial of Blood.

Di Huai felt a little ashamed when he spoke about the bet. Deep down in his heart, he knew that Huang Xiaolong had only made the bet to get rid of Fu Yunjie.

In the end, everything Huang Xiaolong did was because of the hatred between Di Huai and Fu Yunjie’s master from the past.

Huang Xiaolong laughed and dismissed their concerns, “Lord Di Huai, I wouldn’t have agreed if I wasn’t confident in passing.”

As soon as the words left his lips, they stared at him with a complicated expression. It was clear that none of them believed him.

“Xiaolong, why don’t you ask your masters to order Li Chen and the others to back down?” Di Huai asked slowly.

Huang Xiaolong refused immediately by shaking his head. “The news had already spread through the city. Many Holy Gates have learned of the bet. It’s impossible for us to cancel it now. That’s also the reason Li Chen, Xie Yao, and the others chose to spread the news.”

Night eventually fell and darkness covered the lands.

In Huang Xiaolong’s personal courtyard, he retrieved a single pill. The moment it was revealed to the world, starlight fell upon the courtyard and sparkling lights flashed in his surroundings.

The pill he took out was precisely the Star Transferring Holy Pill the Heavenly Master had received from the others in the day.

One had to know that Huang Xiaolong had forty stalks of holy herbs on him. In order to prevent Huang Xiaolong from wasting any more of them, the Heavenly Master had used four Star Transferring Holy Pills to trade them away.

Compared to the unrefined holy herbs, the four Star Transferring Holy Pills were much more valuable.

As such, Huang Xiaolong had managed to benefit from the trade.

However, his plan was to enter the Devil Cave to evolve his saint attributes. When he was done, he would return to absorb the four pills. Moreover, he hadn’t refined the pill Palace Master Xue Lingyun had gaven him during the apprenticeship ceremony. He planned to refine them all after returning from the Devil Cave.

When dawn broke the next day, Huang Xiaolong contacted Grand Hall Master Wu Ge and arranged for him to send over a hundred guards. Among them, there would be fifty male guards and fifty female guards.

Wu Ge didn’t hesitate and he personally led them over after a few days. When he met with Huang Xiaolong, he even mentioned that he had severely berated his disciple over the bet he made.

Huang Xiaolong merely shook his hands to indicate that it was alright. He reassured Wu Ge before sending him off.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

After Huang Xiaolong arranged the matters in the Blue Dragon Manor, he left for the Devil Cave.

When he arrived, Elder Zhang Sijin was waiting for him. He rushed over and greeted Huang Xiaolong immediately.

As soon as Huang Xiaolong arrived, Xie Yao and the others received a report from their subordinates.

“Cultivating in the Devil Cave again? Does he think that cultivating in the Devil Cave will aid him in the Trial of Blood?” Chen Kaiping sneered. “He’s too naive. How strong do you guys think he’ll be when the trial starts?”

Xie Yao snorted in contempt. “He should probably be able to enter the Eighth Order Venerable Realm by the time the trial starts.” The hatred he had for Huang Xiaolong had increased once again after he was scolded by his master.
