Chapter 1931 - 1923: Fight to the Death
"No, no need to be polite," Mu Junle managed to squeeze out the three words with difficulty from his throat.For the first time, he realized how difficult it could be to simply open his mouth and speak.
Huang Xiaolong grinned at Mu Junle: "Once I have killed Wangu Wudi, you can pick any treasure you like from his body."
Mu Junle was dumbfounded.
Kill Wangu Wudi?
After understanding what Huang Xiaolong meant, his whole body trembled, nearly stumbling.
Even Huang Kebin, along with a few other disciples of the Huang Family, had their minds blown.
Huang Xiaolong turned to them and said, "Let’s go. You all return to the Divine Mansion with me."
Only then did Huang Kebin and the other six come to their senses, hurriedly getting up and stammering, "Yes, Senior."
Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to set off, he noticed the injuries on Huang Kebin and the others. With a wave of his hand, a divine light of healing enveloped them, and to their surprise, they found their wounds healing at a remarkable speed. Within just a few breaths, they were almost completely recovered.
Huang Kebin’s previously severed arm was astonishingly starting to regrow.
Huang Kebin stared in disbelief at his regenerating arm.
Mu Junle’s eyes widened in amazement as well.
Ignoring the stunned expressions of Huang Kebin and the others, Huang Xiaolong headed straight towards the Divine Mansion. It was only after he walked dozens of meters ahead that the six followed hastily.
"S-Senior," Huang Kebin hesitated, trying to speak.
Despite being astonished by Huang Xiaolong’s displayed power, he wanted to warn Huang Xiaolong about the severe consequences of killing Wangu Rui and others.
"Are you descendants of Huang Xiaohai?" Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked.
The six were taken aback.
"Yes, Senior," Huang Kebin replied respectfully.
Could it be this senior is acquainted with his grandfather?
"Senior, do you know my grandfather?" Huang Kebin couldn’t help but ask with curiosity.
Huang Xiaolong suddenly stopped and turned around.
The six were startled, and as they grew uneasy, Huang Xiaolong broke into a smile and said, "Of course I know him." Memories from his childhood flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s mind.
Back then, his sister Huang Min and Huang Xiaohai had been bullied by Huang Wei, and it was he who had personally dealt with Huang Wei.
Huang Xiaolong turned back and continued walking towards the Divine Mansion.
"Senior, Wangu Rui is Wangu Wudi’s nephew," Huang Kebin said cautiously.
Huang Xiaolong replied indifferently, "So what?"
The six choked.
So what? Such simple words, yet filled with arrogance.
Given Wangu Wudi’s status as the number one in the world, probably only this ’senior’ before them could dare speak so boldly, Huang Kebin thought with a wry smile.
As Huang Xiaolong and several others headed for the Divine Mansion, news that more than a dozen disciples of the Wangu Clan, including Wangu Rui, had been killed quickly spread, causing a stir throughout the Pill God City.
"What? Wangu Rui, Wangu Wudi’s nephew, was killed by someone!"
"It seems he was with the Mu family’s Mu Junle, and even mentioned that after killing Wangu Wudi, Mu Junle could choose any treasure from Wangu Wudi’s body."
"This person is so arrogant? Not only did he kill Wangu Wudi’s nephew, but he even dares to say he’ll kill Wangu Wudi!"
"Arrogant? I say he’s an idiot who popped out of nowhere! This person is doomed, I just wonder how he will meet his end!"
Discussions were rife among the strong figures from various major families of Star River.
Inside the grand hall of the Wangu Clan’s branch in Pill God City, the powerful members of the Wangu Clan sat, with a few even wearing elder robes of the Wangu Clan.
However, several thousand years had passed, and people had changed. The elders of the Wangu Clan from back then, like Wangu Changqing, had long since ascended to the Divine World. The current elders were all newly promoted over the recent millennia.
"How dare someone publicly kill a direct disciple of the Wangu Clan! Such audacity! This is unprecedented!" said Wangu Changlong, the current Great Elder of the Wangu Clan, with a cold smile.
As the Great Elder, Wangu Changlong possessed extraordinary power, being at the Divine-level Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak, ranking absolute top five within the Wangu Clan.
"Great Elder, could this person be a powerful figure invited by the Huang Family? I heard he went towards the Divine Mansion," Elder Wangu Hanyan pondered aloud.
Wangu Changlong sneered, "The Huang Family can hardly protect themselves. Even if this kid is at the Divine-level Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak, how could he alone contend with our Wangu Clan? Unless he is a Heavenly God Strong person, the thought of him being able to save the Huang Family is a joke."
"So what do we do now?" asked Elder Wangu Mingwen.
"Now, you all come with me to the Huang Family. I don’t believe the Huang Family would risk extermination to protect that kid!" Wangu Changlong abruptly stood, his aura rising.
"He’s just an unknown kid. If he really is a Divine-level Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak expert, we wouldn’t be unaware. Moreover, the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance’s competition is tomorrow, with many matters requiring the Great Elder’s attention. You don’t have to personally take action; we can go to the Huang Family ourselves," Elder Wangui Di suggested, standing up.
Though Wangu Di’s strength was lesser than Wangu Changlong’s, he was still among the top ten experts of the Wangu Clan at the Divine-level Tenth Stage Middle Stage.
Wangu Changlong shook his head, "No worries, I’ll go with you. Only then will I be assured."
"Should we inform Wudi about this?" Wangui Di asked.
"No need. Wudi is currently at the Union Headquarters of the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance, discussing matters with the elder masters. There’s no need to bother him with such a minor issue, especially since he has to participate in the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance’s competition tomorrow," Wangu Changlong thought and then said.
The elders of the Wangu Clan nodded.
Minutes later, under Wangu Changlong’s leadership, nearly a hundred experts from the Wangu Clan departed from their branch, making their way towards the Divine Mansion with grandeur.
At this time, in the grand hall of the Divine Mansion, Huang Xiaohai, Fei Hou, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey had also heard about the deaths of over a dozen Wangu disciples, including Wangu Rui.
"Who is this person? Not only did he save Kebin, but he also publicly killed Wangu Rui?" Fei Hou frowned.
"There are rumors that he is an expert invited by our Huang Family," Huang Xiaohai was puzzled, though this wasn’t true.
"This person, since he dares to kill Wangu Rui in public, must be quite formidable, and appears to be a friend rather than a foe. I’ve heard he and Kebin are already coming to the Divine Mansion, they should be arriving soon. Should we go out to greet them?" Zhang Fu pondered.
"Fei Hou, you go, and also gauge this person’s strength," said Huang Xiaohai to Fei Hou.
Fei Hou nodded and then left the grand hall, heading towards the main gate.
Turning back to the others, Huang Xiaohai sighed, "Now Wangu Wudi is pressing us at every step, demanding we pledge allegiance to him before he becomes the Union President of the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance. What do you all think?"
The grand hall fell silent.
"Wangu Wudi is too oppressive!" The Soul-devouring Purple Monkey shouted angrily, "Does he think he can have us submit to him? We might as well fight them, to the bitter end!"
