114: Chapter 114: The Appearance of an Exotic Treasure 114: Chapter 114: The Appearance of an Exotic Treasure After Yang Dong and the others departed, the wedding at the Fei Residence was not affected; on the contrary, it beca even livelier.
Approaching noon, so nearby super family heads even ca personally with gifts to offer their congratulations.
The Fei Residence was filled with joy.
Fei Rong and his son Fei Ming couldn’t stop smiling.
The lively wedding lasted the entire day, continuing until late at night.
Only after midnight did it finally quiet down.
The land was enveloped in silence.
Huang Xiaolong stood in the courtyard, gazing at the moon in the night sky.
The moon was bright and beautiful, and the occasional drift of light clouds added a hazy charm.
Reflecting on the day’s festivities at the Fei Residence, Huang Xiaolong’s thoughts inevitably turned to his parents from his past life and those in the Lutong Royal City in this life.
His mind wandered far.
After a long while, Huang Xiaolong returned to his room to cultivate within the Exquisite Treasure Tower.
Having consud a Fla Dragon Pearl, Huang Xiaolong activated the Asura Technique; the Black and Blue Dragons hovered, fervently devouring the rolling Nine Netherworld Dark Energy from the void.
In Huang Xiaolong’s ridians the Nine Netherworld Dark Energy surged, especially so in his Qi Sea.
When he circulated his Fighting Energy, the Nine Netherworld Dark Energy in his Qi Sea roared like giant waves.
Over the years, after continuously strengthening his Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi with the Fla Dragon Pearl, the quality of his Fighting Qi had greatly improved, but Huang Xiaolong was still unsure of its specific level.
The Qi Sea, where the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi gathered, was like a black ocean.
With the constant strengthening by the Fla Dragon Pearl, the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi had turned completely black, and within that blackness, there was a sense of crystal-clear smoothness.
The Nine Netherworld Dark Energy that entered Huang Xiaolong’s body was continuously refined by him, and the radiance from the Black and Blue Dragons behind him flickered incessantly, enveloping the entire first level of the Exquisite Treasure Tower with black and blue light.
A night passed, and Huang Xiaolong awoke and stopped his cultivation, stepping out from the Exquisite Treasure Tower.
As soon as Huang Xiaolong erged from the Exquisite Treasure Tower, the Royal Palace Envoy from the Outer Kingdom had arrived at the Fei Residence.
The Royal Palace Envoy had co to confer the title of Duke on Fei Hou.
Above the title of Marquis was Duke.
Every Marquis who advanced to the Innate level was conferred the title of Duke by the Foreign Kingdom King.
What Huang Xiaolong hadn’t expected was that apart from Fei Hou being conferred as Duke, he had also been given a Duke’s title!
It was well known that only Innate Experts could be appointed as Dukes.
Even Yang An, touted as the number one evil talent in the Outer Kingdom, was a re Marquis, not to ntion Huang Xiaolong, who was not even a citizen of the Outer Kingdom.
When Huang Xiaolong told the Royal Palace Envoy that he was not a citizen of the Outer Kingdom, the envoy laughed and said, “Young Master Huang may not be a citizen of the Outer Kingdom, but the King is aware.
However, one can still be conferred a title in the Outer Kingdom even if they are not a citizen!”
Huang Xiaolong looked at Fei Hou.
“Yes, Young Master!” Fei Hou nodded and carefully added, “Since this is the King’s intention, Young Master, what do you say?” He paused.
Huang Xiaolong understood Fei Hou’s aning.
Although with his status, a Duke’s title might not be necessary, it was still a good thing to have.
Having that title would make it much more convenient for him in the Outer Kingdom.
Thus, Huang Xiaolong accepted the Duke’s dallion from the envoy.
A short while later, the Royal Palace Envoy left, full of joy, to return to the Royal Palace and report his success.
After the Royal Palace Envoy had left, Huang Xiaolong decided to go out for a walk.
Having been in the Outer Kingdom City for a few days, Huang Xiaolong had not had the chance to explore.
With his departure to the Luotong Kingdom approaching, he felt he should take a stroll and take in the sights before leaving.
Thus, accompanied by Fei Hou, Huang Xiaolong left the Fei Residence to explore the Outer Kingdom City.
Fei Hou had been away for seven years, and Outer Kingdom City had undergone no small changes.
Fei Hou and Huang Xiaolong road around Outer Kingdom City and as it neared noon, they passed by the stunningly grand Delicacy Tower.
They entered and ordered two jars of Fiery Fire Wine, savoring them on the second floor.
The innkeeper was even more enthusiastic and respectful when Fei Hou and Huang Xiaolong arrived, compared to the last ti.
Fei Hou had broken through to the Innate level and the innkeeper had long heard about Huang Xiaolong’s victory over Yang An.
In the end, when the two were about to pay the bill, the innkeeper insisted on not taking their gold coins and even told Fei Hou and Huang Xiaolong that they could eat for free whenever they visited in the future.
Given the innkeeper’s hospitality, they did not decline.
And so, three days passed.
In those three days, apart from cultivating the Asura Technique in the Exquisite Treasure Tower, Huang Xiaolong spent ti in the Fei Residence courtyard practicing the Asura Sword Technique.
Hell’s Wind, Shura’s Tears, Netherworld King’s Fury, Fengdu Thunder—Huang Xiaolong employed these four moves in succession, causing continuous undulations of mournful wails from Hell and the roar of wind and thunder.
One day, as Huang Xiaolong was practicing the Asura Sword Technique in the Fei Residence courtyard, the ground suddenly shook violently, startling him.
Following that, the ground shook violently again, and the rocks of the artificial mountain in the courtyard tumbled down.
After shaking violently five or six tis, the trembling of the ground abruptly ceased.
At that mont, the distant sky turned as red as if it were ablaze, and intense waves of heat spread out in all directions.
Everyone in Outer Kingdom City was shocked by this sudden phenonon.
As the waves of heat rolled outward, the temperature of the entire Royal City surged, making one feel as if they had fallen into a furnace.
“What is this?!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed.
However, the rolling waves of heat suddenly stopped, receding as quickly as the tide.
Huang Xiaolong found that his Exquisite Treasure Pagoda inside him was trembling violently, as if sothing ahead was luring it forward.
At the sa ti, he felt that the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda was experiencing a trembling sensation, as if it faced an existence more terrifying than itself.
After the waves of heat had receded and the sky returned to normal, it was as if the previous phenonon had never happened.
Only a quarter of an hour had passed from start to finish.
The usually bustling Outer Kingdom City had beco much quieter.
It wasn’t long before Fei Hou ca in and reported to Huang Xiaolong, “Sect Leader, the King has just ordered a lockdown of the entire city, no one is allowed to enter or leave!”
“A citywide lockdown!” Huang Xiaolong was surprised.
In general, such a lockdown of a kingdom’s Royal City was only ordered during a major event, or even crisis, affecting the country.
Could it be related to the phenonon just now?!
A thought crossed Huang Xiaolong’s mind as he asked, “Fei Hou, what do you think that phenonon just now was?”
After a mont of contemplation, Fei Hou responded, “It should be the ergence of a treasure, that’s why we witnessed that phenonon.”
The ergence of a treasure!
Recalling the odd reaction of the Exquisite Treasure Tower within him just now, Huang Xiaolong wondered if it could be the ergence of an exotic treasure.
And it must be an exotic treasure with a ranking higher than that of the Exquisite Treasure Tower, for only this explanation could account for the trembling of the tower.
An Exotic Treasure!
An Exotic Treasure with a ranking higher than the Exquisite Treasure Tower!
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered, and he took a deep breath.
From the earlier phenonon and the rare reaction from the Exquisite Treasure Tower, it seed that an exotic treasure was about to erge.
He hadn’t expected to encounter the ergence of a treasure during this trip to the Outer Kingdom.
