Chapter 3270: Death Penalty for Huang Xiaolong
Huang Xin spoke slowly as he organized his thoughts, “Perhaps, Huang Xiaolong made an offer they couldn’t resist, so Huang Sheng’an group agreed to stand on his side for the time being.”
Huang Houde’s eyes remained gloomy as he stated, “We’ll know whether the three grand elders are on Huang Xiaolong’s side or not once we return. Inform Huang Xinyang and the others to stop their mission and return with us to Donglin Province immediately!”
Huang Xinyang and the two others were the three grand elders on a mission.
“Patriarch, at this time, should we report the matter to the old ancestor?” Huang Wendan asked.
Three grand elders’ revolt was not a minor matter, and by right, they needed to inform the old ancestor.
Huang Houde nodded and spoke with a heavy voice, “I will contact the old ancestor later,” and then added, “Just say that Huang Xiaolong has returned, and he tempted Huang Sheng’an, Huang Qi, and Huang Feiwu to his side in order to usurp the Huang Family’s patriarch position. Mention that he injured and mutilated several hundred of Huang Family’s disciples!”
Huang Houde’s line of descendants, including Huang Ruxing, and Huang Anquan had been captured by Huang Xiaolong, and more than three hundred disciples had been thrown into the dungeon!
The four grand elders with Huang Houde raised their eyebrows at Huang Houde’s explanation, but nodded their heads in agreement.
A while later, Huang Houde got in touch with the Huang Family’s Old Ancestor Huang Ming, and reported the matter to Huang Ming who was at the East Sea.
In the beginning, Huang Ming was happy when he heard Huang Xiaolong, who had been missing for a hundred years, had returned. But the smile on his face gradually diminished, and it was replaced by anger as he listened to Huang Houde claiming that Huang Xiaolong was in cahoots with Huang Sheng’an, Huang Qi, and Huang Feiwu to usurp the patriarch position the moment he returned. To top it off, he had injured more than several hundred Huang Family’s disciples and locked them up. With sky-soaring fury, he shouted, “That animal! He dares to destroy my Huang Family’s foundation, harming his own brethren!”
Even at several million miles away, Huang Houde felt the pressure from Huang Ming’s fury through the video call.
“Old Ancestor, how should we deal with Huang Xiaolong?” Huang Houde asked.
Huang Ming’s frosty gaze was an answer in itself. “Follow the family rules. Those who harm the family’s disciples will be judged according to the seriousness of his crime. A light punishment is to abolish his cultivation, and heavy crime is the death penalty!”
“Huang Xiaolong harmed several hundred family disciples, and that is a heavy crime!”
Heavy crime, death penalty!
Originally, Huang Ming was very happy when he heard that Huang Xiaolong had returned because Huang Xiaolong was extremely talented. But for the patriarch’s position, Huang Xiaolong had actually harmed several hundred of family"s disciples and that infuriated Huang Ming. Huang Xiaolong’s crime was too serious and the rest of the family could only be appeased with Huang Xiaolong’s death!
Huang Houde was inwardly delighted, and he hurriedly complied, “Rest a.s.sured, Old Ancestor, Huang Xiaolong won’t be able to escape!”
“What about Huang Sheng’an and the other two?” Huang Houde asked.
Huang Ming frowned, looking extremely displeased, “Detain them first, and put them in the dungeon. I will decide when I return!”
Huang Houde respectfully complied.
Huang Houde was at the capital under the Huaxia Alliance’s invitation to discuss how to resolve the East Sea’s beast rampage. Hence, Huang Houde mentioned about the ‘revolt’ within the Huang Family to the Huaxia Alliance’s authorities before setting off to return to Datong City with Huang Xin and the others on a flying s.h.i.+p.
After Earth’s environmental changes, the Huaxiao Alliance gathered many countries, forming a new territory. Rus.h.i.+ng back from the alliance’s capital with the fastest flying s.h.i.+p would still take a full day’s journey.
When Huang Houde’s group was rus.h.i.+ng back from the capital, Huang Xiaolong was leisurely strolling around Donglin Province, looking for iron and ores to complete the palace he had in mind.
The average iron ore was not on Huang Xiaolong’s list, and all the iron and ores Huang Xiaolong chose came from the depths of the ground. These iron and ores were nourished by spiritual energy to a certain extent.
Using this kind of iron and ores to build his palace would make it easier for his Grand Complete Heaven Formation to connect with outer s.p.a.ce star power.
By nightfall, Huang Xiaolong had gone one round around Donglin Province and finally got everything he needed to complete the rest of the palace.
In truth, there were numerous dao grade materials inside the Sun Moon Furnace, but like those genesis-level herbs, his family’s were unable to withstand the energy within these materials, hence, Huang Xiaolong could only used indigenous materials. Then again, after these iron and ores were purified and forged with the fire essence inside the Sun Moon Furnace, there was no difference between these materials with immortal world’s materials.
Three hundred and sixty-five buildings sat majestically in the center of Blue Dragon Orchard. When the Grand Complete Heaven Formation was activated, dazzling power of stars flowed into the residence like a waterfall.
Huang Jiyuan, w.a.n.g Meilan, Huang Chenfei, and Huang Datou, who were cultivating inside, seemed to be cloaked in glimmering stars.
At this time, Huang Sheng’an, Huang Qi, and Huang Feiwu were standing on the empty ground outside of the palace building.
Because Huang Jiyuan and Huang Chenfei liked to spar, Huang Xiaolong had turned this area into a big training field, measuring several hundred square meters. refined by Huang Xiaolong with the biggest clump of iron he found. Even if a Void Immortal expert attacks this place, the training field won’t suffer any damage.
The three of them were standing on the s.p.a.cious training field, sensing the vast power of stars pouring from the void with awe on their faces. When Huang Xiaolong stepped out from the palace building, they looked at Huang Xiaolong like they were looking at G.o.d.
In their hearts, Huang Xiaolong was no different from G.o.d.
“Your Highness, we’ve got news that Huang Houde departed from the capital on a flying s.h.i.+p last night and is rus.h.i.+ng back to Datong City. Other than Huang Houde, there are the four grand elders who went to the capital within him, as well as the three grand elders who went out on a mission!” Huang Houde reported to Huang Xiaolong, “It is estimated they will reach Donglin Province early tomorrow morning!”
Huang Xiaolong nodded nonchalantly.
Huang Houde, you’ve finally returned!
A hundred years felt like two lifetimes.
Towards this ‘old a.s.sociate’ from his previous life, Huang Xiaolong did have some complicated feelings.
“What about Huang Ming?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“Old Ancestor is still at the East Sea. He doesn’t seem to be returning any time soon.”
Huang Sheng’an lowered his head, hesitating before adding, “Huang Houde returned under the order of the Old Ancestor…” and his words stopped here.
Huang Xiaolong ordered calmly, “Continue.”
Huang Sheng’an’s mouth opened and closed several times, and he finally said, “Huang Houde reported to the old ancestor that Your Highness started usurping the moment you returned, harming several hundred of the family’s disciples. The old ancestor is furious after hearing that, and stated that a person that harms several hundred of family disciples is to be charged with a heavy crime!”
“In other words, without any investigation, merely listening to Huang Houde’s one-sided explanation, he sent Huang Houde back to kill me?” Huang Xiaolong summarized with an icy expression.
Huang Sheng’an, Huang Qi, and Huang Feiwu all lowered their hands, not daring to make a sound.
“Huang Ming, ah, Huang Ming,” Huang Xiaolong snorted, “My parents and younger brother’s cultivation resources were deducted by Huang Houde and Huang Baogui. My younger brother was injured and became bedridden, and to cure him, my parents even sold our old residence, and all these years, you’ve been closing one eye on everything. Now that I’ve returned, you haven’t even see me yet you’ve already sent Huang Houde to execute my death penalty!”
Huang Xiaolong sneered, and temperature plummeted as icefrost appeared around Huang Xiaolong, covering the entire Blue Dragon Orchard in a layer of ice blue ice.
Huang Sheng’an’s group of three quivered silently.
“Release news to Huang Houde that I’m at the Blue Dragon Orchard,” Huang Xiaolong ordered the three grand elders. “Also, let all the Huang Family’s elders know about this as well!”
He was going to resolve Huang Houde in front of all the Huang Family’s elders!
