117: Chapter 117: Duan Wuheng 117: Chapter 117: Duan Wuheng Fei Hou shook his head and said, “No one knows Duan Wuheng’s Martial Soul.
It’s said he never reveals his Martial Soul in front of others.”
Huang Xiaolong pondered.
It wasn’t that no one knew Duan Wuheng’s Martial Soul; rather, those who knew had died, killed by Duan Wuheng himself, so no one on the outside knew.
However, for Duan Wuheng to have cultivated to the Innate Ninth Stage in two hundred years, his Martial Soul Level must be quite high, at least a Super Martial Soul.
Twelfth level, or is it?!
Seeing Huang Xiaolong deep in thought, Fei Hou did not dare to interrupt.
“Sect Leader, what should we do now?” A while later, Fei Hou asked in a soft voice.
Huang Xiaolong snapped back to reality, “Prepare a bit, tomorrow, we’ll head to Holy Bright Lake!”
Although the intervention of the Broken Blade Empire added so variables, no matter what, Huang Xiaolong had to seize the Exotic Treasure that had appeared this ti!
This was Huang Xiaolong’s chance!
Only by seizing this Exotic Treasure could Huang Xiaolong advance to Innate more quickly, gaining an extra edge to contend against his senior brother, Chen Tianqi, in the future!
Fei Hou respectfully acknowledged and then withdrew.
After Fei Hou had left, Huang Xiaolong entered the Exquisite Treasure Tower and continued his cultivation by swallowing the Fla Dragon Pearl.
Holy Bright Lake, Al Mountain.
The Holy Bright Lake was surrounded by mountains, and Al Mountain was the highest and largest of the mountains encircling the Holy Bright Lake.
On the summit of Al Mountain, stood a man in a yellow brocade robe, who appeared to be a middle-aged man in his thirties.
The yellow brocade robe was embroidered with eight dragons.
The middle-aged man stood there, hands behind his back, gazing down at Holy Bright Lake before him.
Standing on the summit of Al Mountain, one could see the entirety of Holy Bright Lake at a glance.
The middle-aged man stood there, exuding an invisible aura of supremacy, as if he was the sky itself, with everything beneath his feet.
At that mont, a group of people arrived at the summit from the base of Al Mountain, stopping several ters away from the middle-aged man, all with faces of reverence as they greeted, “Your subjects pay respect to the Second Prince!”
Among this group was Fan Ye, the king of a Foreign Kingdom!
These people were from the Foreign Kingdom and surrounding kingdoms.
The Foreign Kingdom, the Violent Dragon Kingdom, and other kingdoms were all under the dominion of the Broken Blade Empire, so Fan Ye and the others were all subjects of the Broken Blade Empire.
When they learned that Duan Wuheng had co to Holy Bright Lake, they all hurried to et him.
Duan Wuheng still stood with his hands behind his back, and did not respond, his voice calm and ethereal: “You may all rise.”
“Thank you, His Highness the Second Prince!” Fan Ye and others respectfully replied and stood up.
“Although I have co to Holy Bright Lake this ti, you need not worry; in a few days, when the heavy treasure erges, I will allow you all to compete for it!” Duan Wuheng continued.
Fan Ye and others exchanged glances, all feeling relieved internally as they had been worried about this very issue.
“Thank you, His Highness the Second Prince!”
Duan Wuheng raised his hand slightly, “All right, you may leave now!”
Fan Ye and the others respectfully acknowledged, then withdrew.
After Fan Ye and the others had left, Sun Liang, a high-ranking expert from the Broken Blade Empire who had accompanied Duan Wuheng, stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, by letting them compete, won’t it be?”
Duan Wuheng replied indifferently, “What does it matter if I let them compete?
Heaven and Earth Treasures, are they sothing these laughable people can control?
Giving them a bit of hope is good too.
Plus, in ten years, it will be ti for the Divine Hall to select disciples again.
I must seize the Exotic Treasure from Holy Bright Lake this ti!”
Sun Liang said, “With this Exotic Treasure erging, only Your Highness can ta it.
In ten years, Your Highness will surely beco a disciple of the Divine Hall!”
Duan Wuheng nodded and looked towards the distant sky.
The night slowly darkened and then faded away.
As dawn broke, Huang Xiaolong ceased his cultivation and ca out of the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.
After a month of arduous cultivation, Huang Xiaolong’s strength had greatly increased, and Fengdu Thunder, when compared to its use in defeating Yang An, was even more powerful.
Upon exiting the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, Fei Hou had been respectfully waiting there.
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou left the Fei Residence and headed straight for Holy Bright Lake.
This ti, Huang Xiaolong did not bring anyone else, just Fei Hou.
Having more people on this trip to Holy Bright Lake would be more troubleso.
With the prohibition of the lake lifted and the blockade of Royal City removed, the two encountered no hindrances upon leaving the city.
Two hours later, the two arrived at Holy Bright Lake.
Standing before Holy Bright Lake, Huang Xiaolong gazed at the eerily blue, extrely pure surface of the lake and felt poignant, wondering how much blood would stain this blue, pristine surface on the day the Exotic Treasure erged.
“Sect Leader, shall we find a place to rest for a while?” Fei Hou asked after a while.
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
Just as they were about to leave, suddenly a strange howl emanated from within Holy Bright Lake.
The shriek was extrely piercing, sowhat eerie, and even carried a sobbing sound, making it extrely uncomfortable to hear.
“Since the anomaly a month ago, Holy Bright Lake has often emitted these strange howls, becoming more frequent recently, occurring every hour,” Fei Hou explained.
Huang Xiaolong turned to look at the center of Holy Bright Lake; following the strange howl, the previously calm surface of the lake began to undulate violently, as if a peerless giant beast was about to burst forth from the lakebed.
At that mont, the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda within Huang Xiaolong’s body suddenly shook violently, almost flying out of his body.
Huang Xiaolong was shocked and quickly circulated his Exquisite Golden Body, causing the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda to gradually calm down.
After the shriek subsided, the surface of Holy Bright Lake returned to calm.
“Let’s go,” Huang Xiaolong said to Fei Hou.
He felt that the Exotic Treasure would erge within the next few days.
The previous howl was likely emitted by the Exotic Treasure that was about to appear.
After departing, the two found a nearby mountain peak, sat down cross-legged, and quietly awaited the ergence of the Exotic Treasure.
From their position on the mountain peak, they could clearly see most of Holy Bright Lake; it was a good location.
However, not long after they had sat down, a group of young n and won in light black robes approached.
There were about twenty of them, each with a divine bird pattern on their chest.
After reaching Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, one of the n stepped forward and said to Huang Xiaolong, “Young brother, we spotted this spot first.
Please leave.”
“Spotted first?” Huang Xiaolong’s expression was indifferent, “What if we don’t leave?”
“Kid, don’t toast only to be forced to drink!” another young man stepped forward and said, “Our Brother Wu asked you to leave.
You should bow and scram.
If you don’t scram, don’t bla us for being impolite!”
“Why waste words with them?
Just kill them,” another impatient woman said at that mont.
The previously speaking Brother Wu said to Huang Xiaolong, “Young brother, you heard them.
My fellow disciples don’t have as much patience as I do.
It’s better for you to leave now.
Don’t let your pride cost your lives over a re spot.”
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou exchanged glances and stood up.
