133: Chapter 133: Heading to Great Chao County 133: Chapter 133: Heading to Great Chao County Following that, Huang Xiaolong instructed Fei Hou to keep an eye on people like Pri Minister Wu Feng and Duke Wei Bi.
Fei Hou respectfully acknowledged each command.
A little while later, Fei Hou withdrew.
After Fei Hou left, Huang Xiaolong’s parents, Huang Peng and Su Yan, entered.
“Xiao Long, I heard sothing happened at the branch of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce in Great Chao County?” Huang Peng began as soon as he entered, while Su Yan also looked at Huang Xiaolong with a worried expression.
The trouble at the Great Chao branch of the Nine Tripods Chamber had reached them as well.
Huang Xiaolong said, “It’s just so small trouble.
It’s normal for people to be jealous and create issues as the chamber grows.
Father, mother, you needn’t worry.
Tomorrow, Fei Hou and I will handle it.”
Both nodded.
“Xiao Long, you must be careful,” Su Yan said.
“It might be possible they want you to go there.”
As Su Yan spoke, a chill ran through Huang Xiaolong’s heart.
The way Blue Cloud Pavilion was making such a big fuss, was there really so conspiracy at play?
“Alright, Mother, I am aware.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
A little while later, Huang Peng and Su Yan left.
Sitting in the hall, Huang Xiaolong thought over his mother’s words and fell into deep contemplation.
If Blue Cloud Pavilion indeed had a conspiracy targeted towards him, what could the opponent possibly want?
To lure him there and then kill him?
A cold gleam flickered in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.
That night, the night was exceptionally beautiful.
Huang Xiaolong opened the God Capturing Ring and entered the Ancient Battlefield, then began cultivating after consuming the Fla Dragon Pearl.
Despite being on the road, Huang Xiaolong had not slackened his cultivation efforts.
Five months had passed, and by now, he had broken through to the Middle Stage of Tenth Rank and was nearing the Peak of Middle Stage Tenth Rank.
Soon, he would reach the Peak of Middle Stage Tenth Rank.
However, reaching the Late Stage of Tenth Rank would still take so ti.
Sitting cross-legged in the Ancient Battlefield, Huang Xiaolong cycled through the Asura Technique over and over again, while the Black and Blue Dragons behind him devoured the Nine Netherworld Dark Energy, and the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi roiled through his ridians and Qi Sea at the tenth level.
With continuous strengthening by the Fla Dragon Pearl, the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi in his ridians and Qi Sea had turned completely ink black, even shimring with a hint of purple light.
Now, Huang Xiaolong was not sure whether the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi had completely evolved into a higher quality of combat energy, but one thing was certain: the current Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi was a level higher than before Huang Xiaolong had consud the Fla Dragon Pearl.
Because, the strength and power of both were no longer on the sa level.
As Huang Xiaolong circulated the Asura Technique, the war intent and killing intent of the Ancient Battlefield continuously tempered his soul and will.
It had been a year since he had taken control of the God Capturing Ring, and this year of cultivating in the Ancient Battlefield had proven undeniably beneficial.
The special spiritual energy of the Ancient Battlefield not only sped up Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation but also strengthened his soul and will significantly.
Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou had told Huang Xiaolong that breaking through to the Innate was extrely difficult.
This required not only reaching a combat energy cultivation that could assault the Innate Barrier but also a resilient soul and will to endure it.
If the soul and will were weak, not only would he fail to break through to the Innate, but the backlash of combat energy could also injure the ridians and Qi Sea within the body, thereby harming his cultivation.
The night passed.
Huang Xiaolong stopped cycling the Asura Technique and stood up, then practiced the Imprisoning God Palm.
Huang Xiaolong found that practicing the Imprisoning God Palm in the Ancient Battlefield was twice as effective.
After practicing the Imprisoning God Palm for a while, Huang Xiaolong exited the Ancient Battlefield.
When he arrived in the hall, Fei Hou was already waiting there.
Marshal Haotian was also there.
Huang Xiaolong arrived, and both Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou stepped forward to pay their respects.
After letting the two rise, Huang Xiaolong pondered, “Haotian, this ti, you will also co with us.”
“Co with you?” Not only was Marshal Haotian stunned, but even Fei Hou was sowhat surprised.
For matters like these, even having Duke Fei Hou handle them would have sufficed.
Now not only was the sect leader accompanying them, but he was also bringing Haotian?
“I feel that this matter with the Blue Cloud Pavilion is not so simple,” Huang Xiaolong said.
“Not so simple,” Haotian and Fei Hou exchanged a look.
“Sect Leader, are you saying that the Blue Cloud Pavilion did this deliberately to lure you there?” Haotian asked thoughtfully.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, “Although I’m not sure, it’s still better to be cautious.
However, this trip to Great Chao County, Fei Hou and I will be in the open, and you in the shadows.”
“Yes, Sect Leader!” both of them responded respectfully.
Following this, Huang Xiaolong and others left the Heavenly Mystical Mansion and headed towards Great Chao County.
Great Chao County was not far from Lutong Royal City, with just one county in between.
Five days later, Huang Xiaolong and his companions arrived in Great Chao County.
Great Chao County was one of the largest and most developed counties in the Luotong Kingdom, and its county city was bustling, rivaling even the Lutong Royal City.
The streets of Great Chao County were lined with shops on both sides, bustling with a constant stream of pedestrians.
Upon entering the city, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou headed straight to the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce branch in Great Chao County.
In just over an hour, Huang Xiaolong and his companions appeared at the gate of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce branch.
The gate of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce was arched, with a two-story building.
The overall architectural style resembled so ancient European styles on Earth, as per Huang Xiaolong’s specifications.
The architectural design of each branch of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce throughout the major counties of Luotong Kingdom was the sa.
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou arrived without notice, so there was no one from the Great Chao County branch to greet them.
Entering the branch, they saw a disciple of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce sitting listlessly with his right arm wrapped in gauze, clearly injured.
Upon seeing soone enter, the disciple listlessly raised his head, but upon recognizing Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, his face lit up with excitent and he hurriedly stood up, rushing over to them, “Young Master, Chief Steward Fei Hou!”
Disciples of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce from all branches recognized Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou.
Huang Xiaolong let the disciple of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce stand.
“Where is Li Bin?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
Li Bin was the Chairman of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Comrce’s Great Chao branch.
“Chairman Li Bin is healing in the inner hall, I will go inform Chairman Li Bin and the others now!” the disciple promptly replied respectfully.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, and the disciple bowed and retreated, turning quickly back to the inner hall to inform Li Bin and the others.
Shortly after, a large group of people erged from the inner hall, led by a middle-aged man with thick brows and broad shoulders, Li Bin.
However, Li Bin was limping with the help of a crutch, and many of the disciples erging were bandaged.
Li Bin limped briskly to the front, his face full of excitent as he and the disciples hurried to Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou.
“Greetings, Young Master, Chief Steward Fei Hou!”
Arriving before Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, Li Bin and the others knelt in salute.
Huang Xiaolong, observing Li Bin and the others kneeling with injuries, felt a cold glint flash in his eyes.
Before arriving, he had not anticipated their injuries to be so severe.
