Chapter 2570: No One Dares to Speak With Me This Way (1/2)
These alien race experts were currently attacking a certain restriction barrier, and it was obvious that they had found some kind of treasure.
Countless True Saint Realm experts had fallen on the ancient battlefield. With these True Saints’ deaths, there were plenty of treasures like saint artifacts, origin spiritual pills, holy herbs, holy pills, and holy martial arts. These attracted many people to venture into the ancient battlefield to try their luck, and the alien races were no exception.
The group of alien race in front of Huang Xiaolong had probably discovered some kind of saint artifact or holy pill, and they were currently trying to break through the restriction surrounding it.
The saint artifacts and holy pills found at the ancient battlefield were ownerless items. These items subconsciously protected themselves, hiding and erecting layers of restrictions around them, which made retrieving them very difficult.
This alien race group was none other than the Suoluo Race group, consisting of Jiang Shaohuang, Jiang Long, and others.
When Jiang Shaohuang, Jiang Long, and the rest saw Huang Xiaolong and Hei Luo, everyone in the group was slightly surprised. After all, their current location was close to the Corpse River, and there weren’t many Holy World’s experts capable of venturing this far.
After a brief moment of surprise at Huang Xiaolong and Hei Luo’s sudden arrival, Jiang Shaohuang smiled meaningfully, “Late-First Heaven True Saint? Interesting!”
A late-First Heaven True Saint being able to reach this far into the ancient battlefield was really amusing in Jiang Shaohuang’s eyes. His interest was stoked.
Jiang Long took a quick glance at Huang Xiaolong, then his attention fell on Hei Luo.
“Young Patriarch, this person is not simple,” he reminded.
Someone capable of escorting a late-First Heaven True Saint safely all the way there was naturally not simple. No doubt Jiang Shaohuang did not miss this point, but he couldn’t see through Hei Luo’s real strength, foundation, or any details.
Jiang Shaohuang’s gaze shifted onto Hei Luo. A moment later, he smiled and said, “This guy’s appearance is quite distinctive, like a black diamond.” He didn’t put Hei Luo in his eyes.
All the Suoluo Race’s experts erupted in laughter.
During this time, the several Suoluo Race’s experts, who had been attacking the restriction, finally shattered the barrier. A sharp blade shot out from the dense forest below, as holy runes shone bright on it. Clearly, this was a saint artifact, and not your average saint artifact.
“Young Patriarch, it’s a peak low-grade saint artifact!” A thin Suoluo Race expert respectfully offered the blade to Jiang Shaohuang using both hands.
Jiang Shaohuang glanced at the blade and then said, “It’s merely a peak low-grade saint artifact, you can have it.”
The Suoluo Race expert was overjoyed, and quickly said, “Thank you, Young Patriarch!”
Jiang Shaohuang looked at Huang Xiaolong again, or better said, he was looking at the Black Corpse Holy Symbol hovering above Huang Xiaolong’s head with a faint excited glimmer in his eyes, “Kid, that should be a holy symbol to a treasury or inheritance, right? You came here searching for some kind of treasury or inheritance…? Let me guess, this treasury or inheritance is probably closeby!”
As a direct descendent of one of the alien races’ royal family, Jiang Shaohuang possessed keen eyesight.
“That’s right,” Huang Xiaolong responded simply.
Jiang Shaohuang had not expected Huang Xiaolong would admit so frankly, thus he was slightly surprised but that was all. He smiled and went on, “I like your direct personality, so how about this, I won’t make things difficult for you. Follow me back to the Alien Lands. Be my subordinate, and I will help you with this treasury or inheritance you’re looking for.”
Jiang Shaohuang fully displayed his magnanimity.
Of course, what he was keen on was not Huang Xiaolong, who was merely a late-First Heaven True Saint, as there were too many of them amongst his subordinates. What had really caught his interest was Hei Luo.
Huang Xiaolong serving as his subordinate was equivalent to Hei Luo becoming his subordinate as well. As for that so-called treasury or inheritance, Jiang Shaohuang didn’t think it was very important. As the Suoluo Race’s young patriarch, what level of treasures or inheritance he hadn’t seen before?
How could Huang Xiaolong not see through Jiang Shaohuang’s ill-disguised intentions?
He chuckled and responded ironically, “From what you’ve said, it sounds as if I don’t suffer any losses from this trade, right? But aren’t you the slightest bit curious what treasury or inheritance I’m looking for?” He then pointed at the Black Corpse Holy Symbol above his head and said, “This is the Black Corpse Emperor Holy Symbol, forged by the Black Corpse Holy Emperor, and it is used to open the inheritance Black Corpse Holy Emperor left behind.”
The alien race might not know the average Ninth Heaven True Saint expert, but the Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s resounding name had to have reached the Alien Lands.
