383: Chapter 383: The Power of the Divine Hall 383: Chapter 383: The Power of the Divine Hall Indeed, as soon as Shi Fantian’s voice fell, the gaze of the Heavenly Buddha Empress Lin ng and the nurous concubines drifted over to Huang Xiaolong, who was walking side by side with Shi Fantian.
Although Shi Fantian’s concubines were not nurous, there were still seventy or eighty of them, and each was stunningly beautiful.
Huang Xiaolong felt uneasy under the gaze of so many beautiful won and could only smile wryly in his heart.
It seems my reputation is really quite significant now, isn’t it?
Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but think of celebrities on Earth in his previous life.
Were these concubines of Shi Fantian his fans?
At that mont, Heavenly Buddha Empress Lin ng stepped forward, approached Shi Fantian, and knelt halfway to greet him, “Welco back, Great Emperor.”
The concubines of the Heavenly Buddha knelt similarly, while the maids and guards prostrated themselves completely.
Shi Fantian asked everyone to rise, and after Heavenly Buddha Empress Lin ng stood up, Shi Fantian chuckled and joked, “I say, Little ng, it seems you’re not just welcoming .”
Heavenly Buddha Empress Lin ng laughed and said, “The Great Emperor jokes.”
Shi Fantian chuckled and said, “Co, let introduce soone to you.
This is Young Master Divine Dragon, Huang Xiaolong, who you all have been talking about these days.”
Heavenly Buddha Empress Lin ng’s eyes lit up, and she smiled at Huang Xiaolong, “Young Master Huang.”
Huang Xiaolong, not daring to be negligent, quickly said, “Sister-in-law.”
Lin ng was startled by Huang Xiaolong calling her sister-in-law.
At that mont, Shi Fantian laughed and said, “Xiao Long is my junior brother.”
“Junior brother?” Lin ng and the concubines were taken aback.
Although they had received news that the Great Emperor would return to the Heavenly Buddha Palace with Young Master Divine Dragon, they did not know that Huang Xiaolong was Shi Fantian’s junior brother.
After a pause, Lin ng smiled at Shi Fantian and said, “Great Emperor, since Young Master Divine Dragon is your junior brother, you should have told us earlier.”
Hearing this, Shi Fantian laughed without anger, “Telling you now is not too late.
Co, let’s first go into the palace.” With that, he gestured for Huang Xiaolong to follow.
Shi Fantian and Huang Xiaolong walked side by side, Lin ng followed a half step behind Shi Fantian, while Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and others followed behind Huang Xiaolong.
Everyone proceeded grandly into the Heavenly Buddha Palace.
Upon entering the Heavenly Buddha Palace, Shi Fantian had already arranged a banquet in the Great Hall, and imdiately invited Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu to join.
Shi Fantian had arranged for Huang Xiaolong’s seat to be beside him, with Lin ng, Shi Xiaofei, and the concubines to his left, and Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the Holy Domain experts guarding the Heavenly Buddha Palace to his right.
After everyone was seated, Shi Fantian raised his glass to Huang Xiaolong with a smile, “Junior brother, try this Heavenly Buddha Wine.
I personally concocted and had this brewed.”
Huang Xiaolong raised his glass and smiled, “Is that so?” He then clinked glasses with Shi Fantian and drank it all in one go.
The wine was a bit sour as it hit his throat, but the sourness was pleasantly refreshing; following the sourness was a spicy note, robust yet thrilling; after the spiciness, there was a bitter-sweet taste, yet it was oddly satisfying and sweet to the heart.
At the sa ti, it conveyed a profound interplay of morning bells and sunshine.
Shi Fantian watched Huang Xiaolong closely.
Huang Xiaolong spoke to Shi Fantian with a smile, “Good wine.” Indeed, this Heavenly Buddha Wine was far superior to the Buddhist Wine from Buddhist Restaurant.
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s praise, Shi Fantian’s face brightened with a smile, seemingly more delighted by this complint than if he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Thus, everyone drank rrily and chatted with laughter.
Shi Fantian laughed and said, “Junior brother, during the battle at Luotong Palace, you slew seven elders of the Divine Hall and even made the great elder Ge Ge flee in defeat.
When I heard the news, I was utterly astonished.”
Everyone stopped their glasses and looked at Huang Xiaolong.
Shi Xiaofei’s beautiful eyes were fixed unblinkingly on Huang Xiaolong.
Although she had heard about Huang Xiaolong slaughtering the seven elders in the Luotong Palace countless tis, there were many versions, and she was eager to hear what Huang Xiaolong had to say.
Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, “Luckily, I tad so Poison Corpse Beetles, otherwise, it would have been Zhao Shu, three people including , who would have needed to flee.”
Everyone laughed.
Shi Fantian laughed and said, “These Poison Corpse Beetles are ancient poisons, feared even during ancient tis.
They hadn’t appeared for tens of thousands of years.
I didn’t expect that junior brother managed to ta them.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded and said, “Three years ago, I went with Zhao Shu to the Origin Forest to search for Dragon Clan relics, and it was there that we encountered these Poison Corpse Beetles.”
Since he had tad these Poison Corpse Beetles in the Origin Forest, Huang Xiaolong saw no need to hide this fact, nor was he worried about the Divine Hall finding out in the future.
“Origin Forest.” Shi Fantian was taken aback.
Now all the great empires and powerful entities in the Martial Soul World were guessing where Huang Xiaolong had found these Poison Corpse Beetles, and it turned out to be in the Origin Forest.
However, Shi Fantian realized imdiately that only a place like the Origin Forest could still harbor such ancient creatures as the Poison Corpse Beetles.
Shi Fantian smiled and said, “I never thought junior brother found these Poison Corpse Beetles in the Origin Forest.
In the past years, I was in seclusion mastering a unique skill, thus I missed the Dragon Clan relics.
When I ca out of seclusion, the space of Dragon Clan Relic had already closed, and even Holy Domain Experts could no longer break through the prohibition to enter.”
The space of Dragon Clan Relics had closed not long after Huang Xiaolong left the Origin Forest, a fact he learned from others afterwards.
The group continued to toast and talk with laughter.
Later, they turned their conversation to the Divine Hall.
Shi Fantian sighed and said, “The Divine Hall is becoming more and more rampant lately.
Over the last few years, the Divine Hall’s influence has expanded enormously, controlling many empires on the Snow Continent.
Those who do not submit were annihilated.
However, it won’t be so easy for them to reach for the Heavenly Buddha Empire.” Upon saying this, Shi Fantian’s eyes flashed coldly, his aura intensifying.
In terms of empire strength, the Heavenly Buddha Empire is among the top three of the Snow Continent’s seventeen great empires.
If speaking of individual strength, Shi Fantian is one of the top three powerhouses on the Snow Continent, and furthermore, the kingdoms under the Heavenly Buddha Empire are extrely loyal, so controlling the Heavenly Buddha Empire’s power was not easy for the Divine Hall.
The atmosphere in the Great Hall was sowhat tense.
Shi Fantian continued, “I heard that the kingdoms under the Broken Blade Empire have been controlled by the Divine Hall by ninety percent, and I fear that in three or four years, the Divine Hall will attack the Broken Blade Imperial City.”
Shi Fantian knew about the relationship between Emperor Duanren and Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong frowned.
Indeed, it was only a matter of ti before the Divine Hall would occupy the Broken Blade Imperial City, and naturally, Huang Xiaolong did not want to see the Broken Blade Imperial City fall to the Divine Hall.
Leaving aside his relationship with Emperor Duanren, Xie Puti’s Xie Family, and his sister Huang Min’s husband’s family, the Guo Family, were also in the Broken Blade Imperial City.
At that mont, Shi Fantian smiled and said, “However, junior brother has killed nine elders of the Divine Hall, which has greatly dampened their face.
Now, their expansion has slowed down a bit.”
Huang Xiaolong had killed people like Ao Baixue from the Divine Hall and others.
This had significantly hindered the expansion of the Divine Hall’s power, causing so kingdoms that had previously submitted to the Divine Hall to begin wavering.
The banquet continued until the evening before dispersing.
Late at night, the moonlight was crystal clear.
Huang Xiaolong stood in the palace courtyard arranged by Shi Fantian, gazing up at the night sky, his eyes flickering.
The power of the Divine Hall had indeed expanded too rapidly over these years.
Alone, he was hardly a match for this vast entity.
Therefore, no matter what, during this trip to the Star Cloud Continent, he had to succeed in seizing the position of Asura Sect Master and take control of the Asura Sect.
