Chapter 2498: Furtive Lands (1/2)

“Yeah! That’s him!” Another disciple nodded and continued, “Legends have it that the Black Corpse Holy Emperor killed the disciple of the Great Crossing Sage. Due to that, the Great Crossing Sage went to fight with the Black Corpse Holy Emperor, and they disappeared after a ma.s.sive battle.

The Great Crossing Sage was part of the first batch of True Saints in the Holy World.

Even though the Black Corpse Holy Emperor was one of the ten strongest individuals in the Holy World, no one knew who was stronger between the two of them.

The Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s treasury had actually surfaced in the Furtive Lands in the Ghost Devil City!

It was no wonder the disciples of the Clear Snow Palace, Holy Heavens, Devil Palace, and the other peak powers were rus.h.i.+ng over.

One had to know that the Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s reputation and status in the Holy World could challenge the Great Crossing Sage and those in the first batch of True Saints in the Holy World!

“Jin Taiji from the Vajra Race practiced the Great Crossing Fist, and he probably managed to obtain the Great Crossing Sage’s inheritance! Now that the Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s treasury has reappeared, will his inheritance be pa.s.sed down?” Flames burned in the eyes of yet another disciple, “If we manage to obtain the Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s inheritance, we will enter the True Saint Realm without any difficulties.”

“Let’s keep dreaming. Even if the Black Corpse Holy Emperor left his inheritance behind, we wouldn’t be the ones to obtain it. Senior Brother You Lingzi might be able to…,” one of the disciples shook his head and explained, “The Furtive Lands is one of the forbidden lands in the Ghost Devil City and even True Saints might not be able to leave alive. We shouldn’t dream of going there.”

As they discussed with each other, a low voice rang in their ears, “Which part of the Furtive Lands did the treasury appear in?”

The group of disciples leaped to their feet in shock.

“Who?!”

The ghost devil qi before them parted, and a figure walked towards them.

“Huang Xiaolong!” They were shocked when they discovered the newcomer.

Even though he had traveled slowly, he arrived before them after a few breaths of time.

The disciples of the Ghost Talisman Holy Gate finally snapped back to attention as they surrounded Huang Xiaolong. They blocked off all routes of retreat.

One of them even sneered, “Huang Xiaolong, are you tired of living? You barged in here even after noticing us. Do you really think that you’re the invincible presence you once were in the Mirage Pavilion? Right now, you’re just a Fourth Tribulation half-True Saint in a land full of high-level half-True Saints!”

A murderous light flashed in the eyes of another disciple. “You killed so many disciples from our holy gate in the Mirage Pavilion previously. How do you wish to pay for your sins? Make your choice. I’ll let you choose the way you wish to die!”

“How dare you ask for the location of the Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s treasury in the Furtive Lands?! Why don’t you call me your daddy? Maybe I’ll tell you then!”

The disciples roared with laughter.

Since all of them were mid-Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints or stronger, they didn’t think that Huang Xiaolong was a threat!

A smirk formed on Huang Xiaolong’s face. “You could have told me the location like the obedient little kids you are. I was considering to let you off, but I guess not.”

After staring at Huang Xiaolong for a second, all of them burst out laughing.

“Huang Xiaolong, do you think you’re Li Chen or something?!” Someone snorted with displeasure, “If you were Li Chen, we would have had no choice but to tell you everything we know! But, it’s too bad that you’re just a Fourth Tribulation half-True Saint!”

“Why are we wasting our breath on him? Just cripple him, and we can torture him however we want!” Someone revealed a sinister laugh and continued, “I can’t help but tremble in excitement when I think about how we’ll be the ones to kill Huang Xiaolong!”

Anyone would be incomparably excited if they got to kill the greatest genius the Holy World had seen.

However, the words barely left his lips when Huang Xiaolong’s figure flashed. Searing pain shot through his body, and he realized that his neck was grabbed by Huang Xiaolong.

With Huang Xiaolong’s speed, no one managed to react when he choked one of their fellow disciples.
