Chapter 2616: Baseless Fears (1/2)
Yuan Wangfeng’s heart shook once as he finally realized that the Deputy Mansion Master was taking his transgressions seriously. He lowered his head in defeat, and he whimpered, “This subordinate doesn’t dare… I was concerned for the safety of our mansion when I deployed the guardians… As a human, Huang Xiaolong dares to conspire against us to challenge the Dao Gate. His intentions are clear. He plans to obtain the position of the Mansion Master and move against our alien race!”
Long Shengtian harrumphed coldly, “Since the founding of the Otherworldly Mansion, there wasn’t a rule stating that a human couldn’t be the Mansion Master! If Huang Xiaolong conspired to take over the position as the Mansion Master, can’t I pin the same crime on your Myriad Origin Race?”
Yuan Wangfeng choked on his saliva when he heard what Long Shengtian said.
“Yuan Wangfeng, you came up with the rules for the competition. Right now, your disciple was defeated and you broke the rules you set. Does the authority and prestige of the Otherworldly Mansion mean nothing to you? Does the Mansion Master and I even matter to you?”
The look on Yuan Wangfeng’s face changed drastically, “Deputy Mansion Master, that’s not what I meant!”
“Enough. There are enough witnesses here to prove that you broke the rules of the competition after your disciple was defeated,” Long Shengtian continued with a snort, “You shall no longer be given any resources for the next one million years. If there is a next time, I will report the matter to Lord Mansion Master himself and strip you of your position as the grand hall master!”
Yuan Wangfeng wanted to find more excuses, but he managed to restrain himself before he made Long Shengtian any angrier. “I accept the punishment!” However, the hatred he had for Huang Xiaolong had reached a point of no return. If not for Huang Xiaolong, he wouldn’t be humiliated in front of so many people! His reputation as the grand hall master went down the drain after Long Shengtian scolded him in public!
After sweeping his gaze across those present, Long Shengtian declared, “I don’t think there’s a need to continue the competition. I declare Huang Xiaolong as the winner.”
Everyone stared at him with a weird expression on their faces.
“If anyone is unwilling to accept the fact, please, step out now and challenge Huang Xiaolong,” Long Shengtian continued.
As if on cue, everyone turned to stare at Feng Jiu and Feitian Longpeng.
When Feitian Longpeng noticed the weird looks on their faces, he shook his head hastily. “No, no, no. I have nothing against Huang Xiaolong being the victor of the competition!” What a joke? Even someone at Yuan Changyao’s level didn’t manage to scratch Huang Xiaolong! Even though Yuan Changyao was on his last breaths, everyone present could see that he would no longer be able to cultivate! He only had two choices. One was to reincarnate and restart his cultivation from scratch, and the other was to look for a miraculous way to recover whatever Huang Xiaolong had devoured!
Feng Jiu was no different from Feitian Longpeng. She shook her head silently.
In her heart, she knew that if she was willing to show off some of her trump cards, she would definitely be able to defeat Yuan Changyao. However, the victory would be marginal. The battle would be bloody, and she would emerge victorious after suffering serious injuries. However, Yuan Changyao couldn’t even scratch Huang Xiaolong and there was no way for her to defeat a monster of that level. If she wasn’t able to obtain the qualifications to challenge the Dao Gate this time, she could always try again ten years later.
Yuan Wangfeng, Yuan Zongyuan, Jin Kang, and the others could only rage in their hearts when they heard that Long Shengtian wasn’t going to pursue the matter. When he announced that Huang Xiaolong was the victor, the anger in their hearts burned a little brighter.
However, No one dared to speak up after seeing how Long Shengtian punished Yuan Wangfeng.
In the end, Huang Xiaolong obtained the qualifications to challenge the Dao Gate.
Before disappearing from the plaza, Long Shengtian didn’t forget to give Huang Xiaolong his blessings, “Little one, I hope you manage to comprehend the Dao Gate!”
The disciples of the Otherworldly Mansion kneeled on the ground as they sent off their Deputy Mansion Master.
As soon as Long Shengtian disappeared, Yuan Wangfeng turned to the withered corpse that was Yuan Changyao and a look of despair appeared on his face. Fire spewed out from his eyes as he glared at Huang Xiaolong. “Huang Xiaolong, even with the Deputy Mansion Master behind you, my Myriad Origin Race will get our revenge!”
“I’ll be waiting.” ignoring the threat completely, Huang Xiaolong turned around and soared into the air.
“We should leave too…” Feng Jiu stared at Huang Xiaolong’s back, and she led the members of the Fiery Phoenix Race away. Feitian Longpeng and the members of the Flying Heaven Race left too.
