Chapter 2627: Ran Away? (1/2)
The night passed quietly, and complex emotions filled the hearts of those present.
Huang Xiaolong swallowed holy pills and continued his cultivation.
Over the past few years, Huang Xiaolong had obtained quite a number of inheritances and treasures. He had more than enough holy pills to squander.
As a gloomy light shone down on the lands the next day, several members of the Otherworldly Mansion came over to inform Huang Xiaolong of Yuan Qianxing’s challenge.
“Will you accept Yuan Qianxing’s challenge?” One of the elders, Chen Mingfei, looked at Huang Xiaolong and asked casually.
On the surface, Chen Mingfei appeared to be rather courteous.
Of course, Huang Xiaolong could tell that he was gloating behind his smiles.
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “There’s no need to rush. The date of the challenge hasn’t been set yet. According to the rules of the mansion, I can reply any time I wish before the date of the challenge.”
In other words, if the battle was set to be ten years later, Huang Xiaolong could easily give his reply one day before the battle was set to begin.
Chen Mingfei was startled, but he soon regained his composure, “Young Master Huang Xiaolong, the date of the challenge will be decided soon. It’s a matter of time before it happens. Why don’t you just give me a reply now, and I’ll be able to inform the various parties involved?”
As soon as the words left his lips, Huang Xiaolong sent him flying through the air with a slap.
When Chen Mingfei slammed into the ground, he touched his face only to realize that it had swelled to the size of a pig’s head. He glared at Huang Xiaolong and roared, “You!”
“Who do you think you are?” Huang Xiaolong sneered. “Get lost right now. Otherwise, you can’t blame me for crippling you!”
Since Chen Mingfei was on Yuan Qianxing’s side, Huang Xiaolong didn’t need to be courteous to him.
As chills crept down Chen Mingfei’s spine, he couldn’t help but run after realizing that Huang Xiaolong was serious. In the past, Huang Xiaolong had even dared to kill vice hall masters. He would be crazy if he thought that the identity of an elder was enough to protect him.
Huang Xiaolong snorted and retracted his gaze from the fleeing Chen Mingfei as he continued cultivating.
…..
Inside a luxurious mansion in the Otherworldly Mansion…
“Huang Xiaolong should have received the news.” Yuan Qianxing snorted coldly, “I wonder what he’ll choose…”
Yuan Wangfeng laughed, “Does he have a choice? Unless he’s tired of living, he will definitely choose to reject the challenge!”
All of a sudden, a disciple of the Myriad Origin Race entered the hall to report on Huang Xiaolong’s actions related to Chen Mingfei.
“No reply?” Yuan Wangfeng smiled, “It looks like the brat is planning on dragging this out.”
Yuan Qianxing snorted, “He can’t escape for long.” Turning to Yuan Wangfeng and the other experts of the Myriad Origin Race, he ordered, “Send some men down to watch him. Do not allow him to run away.”
“Young Master, you can count on us!”
After Chen Mingfei started spreading rumors that Huang Xiaolong was too much of a wuss to accept the challenge, the entire mansion heard of the news.
When Chen Muguang heard it, he mocked, “Huang Xiaolong is too much of a coward! He’s a joke of the human race! Does he really think that Young Master Yuan Qianxing wouldn’t be able to touch him if he refuses to give a reply?”
