Chapter 1929 - 1921: Betraying the Huang Family
The family disciple shook his head: "There shouldn’t be any major feud between Wangu Wudi and Huang Xiaohai, the Huang Family Master. Sometimes, to kill someone doesn’t require much reason; perhaps Wangu Wudi simply doesn’t like Huang Xiaohai and the Huang Family. That’s all there is to it.""Over these thousands of years, the Huang Family has controlled the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance Headquarters. Countless star rivers and families have submitted to the Huang Family, and even the Wangu Clan was suppressed by them. But with the emergence of Wangu Wudi, the Wangu Clan gradually strengthened and started to dominate the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance Headquarters. Especially in the last century, the Wangu Clan has completely suppressed the Huang Family!"
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he asked, "When Chairman Huang ascended to the Divine World, he subdued forces like the Hell Road Refining Ghost Sect. Even the Ancient Demon Clan surrendered to the Huang Family then. With the support of the Hell Road Refining Ghost Sect and the Ancient Demon Clan, why were they still suppressed by the Wangu Clan?"
The family disciple laughed and shook his head: "Seems like brother has been in seclusion for too long and doesn’t know this. Not sure what method Wangu Wudi used, but a hundred years ago, forces originally loyal to the Huang Family like the Hell Road Refining Ghost Sect suddenly betrayed them and announced allegiance to Wangu Wudi."
Huang Xiaolong’s face darkened: "Even the Ancient Demon Clan?"
"That’s right," the family disciple said, "Even the Ancient Demon Clan eventually pledged allegiance to Wangu Wudi. Back then, Chairman Huang slew the Refining Ghost Sect Master and the Ancient Demon Clan Ancestor. Now, with the Refining Ghost Sect and Ancient Demon Clan aligned with Wangu Wudi, over the past century, they have frequently slaughtered the Huang Family disciples!"
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned cold.
Refining Ghost Sect!
Ancient Demon Clan!
Wangu Wudi!
Originally, he thought upon returning, after meeting the Huang Family he would ascend with them.
Originally, he thought this return would be dull and boring, but now it won’t be so dull.
"However, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. In recent years, although the Huang Family’s power has greatly diminished, they still have the support of forces like Asura Sect and the Heavenly Buddha Empire, and are not yet at the end of their road," the family disciple said, "Asura Sect has several Divine-level Tenth Rank experts, so it isn’t easy for Wangu Wudi to eradicate the Huang Family."
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
Back when ascending to the Divine World, he helped Fei Hou, Zhang Fu, Zhao Shu, Hao Tian, and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey increase their strength. Over all these years, with the resources he left behind, Fei Hou, Zhang Fu, and others should have reached Divine-level Tenth Rank.
"But if Wangu Wudi manages to break through the Fifth Level of the Pill God Palace and becomes the Alchemist Master Alliance President, and truly controls the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance Headquarters, with countless star rivers and sects submitting to him, then that might be the time the Huang Family gets wiped out," the family disciple said.
"Recently, Wangu Wudi made a public statement: if Huang Xiaohai doesn’t lead the Huang Family to submit before he breaks through the Fifth Level of the Pill God Palace, then when he becomes the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance President, the first to be eradicated will be the Huang Family!"
"By then, Huang Xiaohai won’t even have the chance to submit."
The family disciple lamented: "Back when Chairman Huang hadn’t ascended yet, the Huang Family was so glorious and powerful, intimidating countless star rivers, who would dare defy them? Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, they are facing obliteration!"
Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed: "Won’t Wangu Wudi fear Huang Xiaolong’s return?"
The family disciple was taken aback, then laughed: "No matter how many experts ascend from the Lower Realm to the Divine World, I’ve never heard of anyone returning from the Divine World."
Huang Xiaolong asked the family disciple more about Wangu Wudi and the Wangu Clan.
Back then, before Huang Xiaolong rose to prominence, the Wangu Clan was already the first family, their power was incredibly formidable. Although later they submitted to Huang Xiaolong, the Wangu Clan showed goodwill towards him, and Huang Xiaolong didn’t deliberately suppress them.
Now, with Wangu Wudi’s emergence, the Wangu Clan’s development is even more rapid. Coupled with the allegiance of the Hell Road Refining Ghost Sect and the Ancient Demon Clan, the Wangu Clan’s influence is spread across countless star rivers.
Nowadays, it’s no exaggeration to say that the Wangu Clan is even more formidable than the Huang Family was back then.
This family disciple is called Mu Junle, a disciple of the Mu Family.
Huang Xiaolong is naturally familiar with the Mu Family.
Back then, during the Divine Race Promotion Competition, the Mu Family’s young genius Mu Qi shared hardships with him.
"Who is the current clan leader of the Wangu Clan?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
Back then, the leader was Wangu Yutai; he’s unsure who’s in charge now.
Mu Junle said: "The current clan leader is Wangu Yanhui."
Huang Xiaolong was startled, then smiled. Wangu Yanhui, it turns out, is an old acquaintance. Back then, Wangu Yanhui was the leading genius of the Wangu Clan’s younger generation. If it wasn’t for the appearance of him and Fang Chu, Wangu Yanhui would have been the champion of the Divine Race Promotion Competition back then.
"I heard Wangu Yanhui had some relationship with Chairman Huang back then. Although Wangu Yanhui is the clan leader, he couldn’t command Wangu Wudi, whose status within the Wangu Clan surpasses his," Mu Junle continued, "So, Wangu Wudi wanting to destroy the Huang Family—there’s nothing Wangu Yanhui can do about it."
Huang Xiaolong nodded nonchalantly.
"Brother, are you passing through Divine City, or?" Mu Junle asked.
"I’m heading to the Divine Mansion," Huang Xiaolong replied.
Mu Junle was taken aback, then smiled: "Brother is going to join the Huang Family? The Huang Family is on the verge of destruction. Brother, joining them isn’t as good as joining my Mu Family. Brother, you’re a Divine-level expert, aren’t you? My Mu Family would surely welcome you warmly."
Huang Xiaolong chuckled without saying anything.
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the crowd, and many family disciples nearby rushed forward.
"There’s a good show ahead; Wangu Clan disciples have clashed with Huang Family disciples!"
"The Huang Family disciples are getting beaten like dogs!"
Mu Junle was stunned, and then said to Huang Xiaolong: "Brother, shall we go take a look too?"
Huang Xiaolong nodded; even if Mu Junle hadn’t mentioned it, he intended to check it out.
Following the crowd, Huang Xiaolong and Mu Junle arrived at the scene, but there were too many people watching, surrounding the area tightly.
Huang Xiaolong approached the crowd, which automatically made way as if an invisible giant hand was parting the people for him.
Mu Junle followed behind, surprised by the sight.
Once they reached the innermost circle, Huang Xiaolong stood still, and saw an open space ahead where six Huang Family disciples lay half-kneeling. They were covered in blood; one had even lost an arm, another bore a deep fist mark on his chest, with all his ribs broken—the scene was rather tragic.
These Huang Family disciples were unknown to Huang Xiaolong; they were presumably the descendants of his younger brother, Huang Xiaohai.
Opposite the Huang Family disciples stood over a dozen arrogant Wangu Clan disciples.
One of the Wangu Clan disciples sneered at the Huang Family disciple who’d lost an arm: "Huang Kebin, daring to compete with Wangu Rui for a woman; today, I’ve severed one arm and spared your dog life to wake you up. If you dare to fantasize about Zhang Wei again, I’ll break your middle leg too!"
