186: Chapter 186: Bold!
Since Zhao Shu had most of his Fighting Power drained by the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod while refining the black-robed elder, Huang Xiaolong had him go down to recuperate, and asked Yu Ming and Fei Hou to prepare for the affairs of South Mountain Mansion.
With the living arrangents resolved, they could now begin to bring the Huang Family mbers from the Luotong Kingdom to the Broken Blade Empire.
At this mont, in a grand hall in a mansion to the north of the Yao Mansion, Yao Fei was pacing with a grim expression, his eyes flickering.
Alongside the hall, Yang Gang and Pang Yu stood there, not daring to speak.
After a long ti, Yang Gang dared to step forward and then carefully said, “Heartless Young Master, could Senior Zhang, could he have already?”
At this, Yao Fei turned his head, his eyes sharp like knives, frightening Yang Gang into stopping.
“Alright, you all may leave now.
Later, you will need to go to the Broken Blade Palace to receive your awards,” Yao Fei slowly said.
“Yes, Heartless Young Master!” Yang Gang and Pang Yu respectfully replied, then withdrew.
Watching the two leave, Yao Fei clapped his hands, and a figure shrouded in black mist appeared in the void.
“Go investigate why Zhang Liang hasn’t returned after so long,” Yao Fei said in a low voice.
“Yes, Young Master!” the man in black respectfully replied and vanished without a trace of energy fluctuation.
After the man in black had left, Yao Fei sat down, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, lost in thought.
He knew what Yang Gang had wanted to say.
Had Zhang Liang been discovered by Huang Xiaolong?
Yao Fei shook his head.
He was well aware of Zhang Liang’s strength, and with his Innate Soul Skill to hide in the night without a trace, even an Innate Tenth Rank by Huang Xiaolong’s side wouldn’t be able to detect him.
Yet, several hours had passed, so why hadn’t Zhang Liang returned?
Yao Fei sat there, quietly waiting for the man in black to return and report.
It wasn’t long before dawn began to break.
Huang Xiaolong, having consud the Fla Dragon Pearl and recuperated in the Ancient Battlefield, ca out from the Ancient Battlefield.
However, as soon as he ca out of the Ancient Battlefield and reached the front hall, he saw Zhao Shu waiting there.
Hearing Zhao Shu say he wanted to accompany Huang Xiaolong to the Broken Blade Palace, Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, “You want to go with to the Broken Blade Palace?”
Zhao Shu nodded and said, “Yes, I am concerned about your safety, Sect Leader, and I also wish to et an old acquaintance.”
“An old acquaintance?” Huang Xiaolong was puzzled.
An old acquaintance of Zhao Shu in the Broken Blade Palace?
Although puzzled about Zhao Shu’s old acquaintance in the Broken Blade Palace, Huang Xiaolong did not ask who the old acquaintance was and nodded, “Okay, then you can co with to the Broken Blade Palace.”
Each of the top hundred talented disciples from the imperial city battle was allowed to bring one guard into the palace for the award ceremony.
Thus, Yu Ming and Fei Hou stayed behind in South Mountain Mansion to deal with its affairs and began arranging for the Huang Family mbers to co to the Broken Blade Empire, while Huang Xiaolong left with Zhao Shu for the Broken Blade Palace to accept the awards.
Before long, Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu arrived at the main entrance of the Broken Blade Palace.
Just arriving, Huang Xiaolong bumped into Cui Li who was also on her way there, with a beautiful matron following behind her.
Although her aura was restrained, Huang Xiaolong could tell that the woman’s strength was not weak.
Huang Xiaolong and Cui Li’s eyes t, with Cui Li’s beautiful eyes showing surprise mixed with a hint of hesitation.
Huang Xiaolong nodded at her and then, leading Zhao Shu, stepped into the main entrance of the Broken Blade Palace first.
The guards at the main entrance of the Broken Blade Palace recognized Huang Xiaolong, so they did not step forward to stop or inquire about Huang Xiaolong’s identity.
Cui Li stood there, her eyes a mix of lancholy and complexity.
“Is that Huang Xiaolong?” the beautiful matron behind Cui Li asked.
Cui Li nodded, “Yes, Auntie.”
“A fine young man, it’s a pity he offended the Heartless Young Master,” the beautiful lady said.
“Huang Xiaolong possesses the Double Dragon Martial Soul and his talent is indeed rare in this world.
However, he does not know how terrifying the power of the Heartless Young Master really is, nor can he imagine the power of the Yao Family.”
The beautiful lady shook her head, “If I were him, I would not have offended the Heartless Young Master.”
“Auntie, let’s go in too,” Cui Li said.
“Alright,” the beautiful lady nodded.
At this ti, Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu, led by two Imperial Palace Guards, entered the Imperial Palace and arrived at the Zhengde Square within.
Although Zhengde Square was not as large as the Broken Blade Square in front of the main gate of the palace, it was still sizable, capable of accommodating thirty to forty thousand people.
The two Imperial Palace Guards led Huang Xiaolong and Zhao Shu to the front area of Zhengde Square.
When Huang Xiaolong arrived, many people had already gathered, including Yang Gang, Pang Yu, and Dai Shanni.
As the gathered talented disciples saw Huang Xiaolong arrive, they all stepped back, making way, their eyes filled with awe, including Yang Gang and Pang Yu.
Huang Xiaolong saw the expressions and reactions of Yang Gang, Pang Yu, and the others, but he did not mind and then stood still, waiting for the rewards.
Shortly after Huang Xiaolong arrived, Cui Li also ca, and she stood not far from Huang Xiaolong, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at Huang Xiaolong’s back.
Cui Li had just arrived when suddenly there was a disturbance in the crowd.
“Xie Puti!”
“It’s Xie Puti who has arrived!”
Huang Xiaolong looked over and saw Xie Puti walking over in a fiery-red war robe, followed by an elder dressed in the sa red robe.
Just like the first ti Huang Xiaolong had seen Xie Puti before the initial competition, Xie Puti exuded arrogance, flamboyance, and confidence, as if he had not been defeated by Huang Xiaolong the day before.
Xie Puti walked towards Huang Xiaolong.
Yang Gang, Pang Yu, and the others, seeing this, were schadenfreude, waiting to see an entertaining show, just as Yang Gang and Pang Yu thought Xie Puti was about to make a move on Huang Xiaolong, Xie Puti suddenly smiled at Huang Xiaolong, “In yesterday’s battle, I admit defeat wholeheartedly!” Then, he even extended his hand to Huang Xiaolong.
Everyone was startled, almost dropping their jaws.
Huang Xiaolong gazed at Yang Gang, their eyes t, and then, Huang Xiaolong extended his hand, and the two clasped hands tightly together.
This might be what is called, “No fights, no acquaintance.”
In Huang Xiaolong’s view, the two were actually similar people.
Xie Puti was flamboyant, arrogant, and confident, but deep down, Huang Xiaolong was equally flamboyant, arrogant, and confident.
Moreover, as his strength continued to grow, these traits would beco more and more apparent.
The two felt a sense of camaraderie.
At that mont, suddenly, applause ca.
The crowd awoke and looked over, only to see Duan Wuheng and Cheng Jian approaching, followed by a group of Imperial Palace Guards.
Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti’s hands parted.
“Greetings to Prince Duan Wuheng!” Huang Xiaolong, Xie Puti, and others greeted.
The red-robed elder who had co with Xie Puti and the beautiful lady behind Cui Li all paid their respects, however, one person did not—the person behind Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu!
The crowd saw Zhao Shu still standing there, ignoring the arrival of Duan Wuheng, and they were all taken aback.
“How dare you!” At that mont, a general behind Duan Wuheng could not help but chastise Zhao Shu.
