Chapter 2517: Embarrassment! (1/2)
Countless experts from the Heavenly Master Holy Grounds came over to congratulate Huang Xiaolong.
The news of Huang Xiaolong’s holy soul had spread through the Holy World long before he left the City of Light.
If Huang Xiaolong’s prestige had reached an all-time high for a period of time after revealing his three saint godheads during the battle in the Mirage Pavilion, then the news of his holy soul had broken his all-time record!
As a Fourth Tribulation half-True Saint, he hadn’t even entered the True Saint Realm, and he had managed to possess a holy soul. That was something people had never seen before in the Holy World! The very appearance of his holy soul shocked everyone!
“Your Highness!”
“Your Highness, Huang Xiaolong!”
Experts lined the skies, and they screamed with all their might as soon as he appeared.
There were even some who screamed, “Your Highness Hung Xiaolong is Invincible under the heavens!”
Their voices pierced into the skies and shook the eardrums of anyone who heard them.
The scene caused the hearts of Shi Feng and the others to shake. This was the first time they had ever seen such an awe-inspiring sight.
Even Tyrant Chu was taken aback.
With a smile on his face, Tyrant Chu chuckled, “This is the first time so many people have come over to welcome a single person. It seems like you’re more popular than me now!”
Huang Xiaolong had no idea what to say when he heard what his master said.
As for Li Chen, the look in his eyes was dark, and he scowled when he heard the cheers from the crowd.
When they finally arrived before the members of the Holy Heavens, Wu Ge led everyone and they bowed to Tyrant Chu.
With a nod, he allowed them to rise.
After the welcome ceremony was done, Tyrant Chu, Huang Xiaolong, and the others returned towards the Holy Heavens City.
As soon as they returned, Huang Xiaolong and Li Chen went straight to meet the four Primal Ancestors. When the Heavenly Master, Lord Long, and Elder Crow saw Huang Xiaolong, a look of unbridled joy appeared on their faces. They didn’t even spare Li Chen a second glance.
Upon noticing the cold treatment from the four Primal Ancestors, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a sense of irritation in his heart.
When they were done speaking to Huang Xiaolong, they finally turned to face Li Chen to offer him several words of encouragement.
One long hour later, Huang Xiaolong and Li Chen left the Primal Ancestors’ space. As they returned to the city, they didn’t speak to each other. When they finally left, they didn’t spare a glance at the other party, and they returned to their respective manors.
However, Huang Xiaolong did remember to remind Li Chen, “Don’t forget that you have to carry out your end of the bet within twenty-four hours.” In the City of Light, Huang Xiaolong had agreed to give them twenty-four hours to gather whatever holy artifacts they had lost to him. They were also supposed to kneel in front of the Blue Dragon Manor for an entire day.
Without replying, Li Chen glared at Huang Xiaolong before leaving.
By the time Huang Xiaolong returned, there were tons of people waiting for him. Di Huai, Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, Xue Qi, Ji Cai, and the others were overjoyed when he stepped through the gates.
An air of festivities filled the manor.
Di Huai was especially happy. He suggested inviting the various experts over for a feast, and Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement. Di Huai, Feng Tianyu, and the others rushed out to prepare a celebratory feast for Huang Xiaolong the moment they got the nod.
