Chapter 2463: Tomorrow (1/2)
Another four days passed.
The lively, bustling Mirage Pavilion became merrier with the various hidden ancient races and old holy grounds with long heritages, joining the party.
“Big news! The Ghost Talisman Holy Ground and Holy Race have already arrived at the Mirage Pavilion! It’s said they are going to challenge Huang Xiaolong tomorrow!”
The news quickly traveled from experts to experts.
“Not only the Ghost Talisman Holy Ground and Holy Race, but the Reservoir Sword Holy Ground, South Desolate Holy Ground, Falling Heavens Race, Ancient Dhyana Race, Great Desert Race, Nether Devil Race, and a dozen other old holy grounds and hidden ancient races have all arrived as well! It is said that the Reservoir Sword Holy Ground, South Desolate Holy Ground, Falling Heavens Race, Ancient Dhyana Race, Great Desert Race, and Nether Devil Race will also send forward disciples to challenge Huang Xiaolong!”
“For real? Although the Reservoir Sword Holy Ground, South Desolate Holy Ground, and Falling Heavens Race are also part of old holy grounds and ancient races, their foundations are far from the Ghost Talisman Holy Ground and Holy Race. Do they have the courage to challenge Huang Xiaolong? Their actions are equivalent to literally sending their disciples to death’s door!”
“It’s not necessarily so, as I heard from a reliable source that the Reservoir Sword Holy Ground, South Desolate Holy Ground, Falling Heavens Race, and several ancient races and holy grounds have formed a temporary alliance. When the time comes, each party will send three or four of their most talented disciples with the highest battle power below the Fourth Tribulation half-True Saint to make a team of fifty people, and then they challenge Huang Xiaolong!”
“What?!! Does that work?!”
“Why wouldn’t it work? It doesn’t break the rules. Didn’t the so-called Fallen Gods Race and the Holy Heavens’ Li Chen recruit various forces’ Third Tribulation half-True Saints to form a team to challenge Huang Xiaolong? Huang Xiaolong accepted their challenges just the same!”
The Ghost Talisman Holy Ground, Holy Race, Reservoir Sword Holy Ground, Falling Heavens Race, and other forces’ arrival brought the Mirage Pavilion’s atmosphere to a new height, and at every corner were people talking about the challenge taking place the next day.
There were people, hoping that the Ghost Talisman Holy Ground, Holy Race, or even the Reservoir Sword Holy Ground could somehow defeat Huang Xiaolong, and shave some of Huang Xiaolong’s arrogance. There were also people, who supported Huang Xiaolong, hoping that Huang Xiaolong would organise a few more battle stage challenges, and then the Holy Heavens, Devil Palace, Clear Snow Palace, and Holy Lands Alliance would be counting money until their hands were sore.
Wasn’t that an undeniable fact? According to the one high-grade holy jade stone fee collected from every person for every month upon entering the Mirage Pavilion, how many high-grade holy jade stones the four giants had collected in recent days?
Their business was literally booming.
The main hall of the Ancient Emperor Holy Ground’s branch within the Mirage Pavilion was fully seated with the holy ground’s True Saint experts. Apart from the Ancient Holy Emperor Duan Xuan, and Beast Tamer True Saint Shen Jiewen, there were also the rest of the great ten holy grounds of the Holy Lands Alliance.
The Holy Lands Alliance’s ten great holy lands’ True Saint Patriarchs had gathered inside this hall. Although it was said that the Holy Lands Alliance’s ten great holy lands were the leaders of the alliance, these ten holy lands’ patriarchs rarely gathered together in this manner.
The last time these ten patriarchs had gathered at one place was the year of Huang Xiaolong’s apprenticeship ceremony at the Holy Heavens, and today, these ten patriarchs had gathered once again. It went without saying how important they placed on the stage challenge against Huang Xiaolong.
The grandmist holy spiritual aura Huang Xiaolong had taken out was simply too rare a treasure that they could not ignore.
Present together in the hall with Duan Xuan, Shen Jiewen, Hou Ming, and others was a young man of extraordinary bearing.
This young man was none other than Huai Po! Mo Cangli’s personal disciple!
Even though Huai Po was not a True Saint Realm expert, from a certain aspect, he represented Mo Cangli, and the Holy Lands Alliance relied on Mo Cangli’s support to a certain degree. Therefore, when Huai Po had appeared among the Holy Lands Alliance, he was treated the same as Duan Xuan, Shen Jiewen, and other ten great patriarchs.
Then again, as the number one on the Saint Fate List, Huai Po's strength and talent were enough to convince many people.
“Since the Reservoir Sword Holy Ground, South Desolate Holy Ground, Falling Heavens Race, and a dozen other forces formed an alliance, each party will send out about three to four Third Tribulation half-True Saint disciples for the challenge. Therefore, our Holy Lands Alliance can do the same!” said Huai Po majestically.
This time, he was clad in a subtle golden metallic black brocade robe which added a touch of decisive coldness to his already extraordinary bearing.
