Although no more words came from w.a.n.gu Zhi, how could the group of w.a.n.gu Clan Elders fail to detect the underlying meaning?
Fang Chu was killed by Huang Xiaolong!
Otherwise, it couldn"t explain Huang Xiaolong’s sudden jump from the eighth place all the way to the first!
w.a.n.gu Yuan, who had just said that Huang Xiaolong would definitely be kicked out from the top ten and probably rank around fifteenth place when the tournament ends, inevitably revealed a wry smile, “Looks like I’ve underestimated this Huang Xiaolong ah.”
w.a.n.gu Changqing also sighed, “All of us had underestimated this Huang Xiaolong, who would have thought he has the ability to kill Fang Chu?”
“Although Fang Chu’s strength was far from w.a.n.gu Yanhui’s, he’s still an early Fourth Order HighG.o.d Realm.” w.a.n.gu Shuo stated solemnly, “Judging from the fact that this Huang Xiaolong could kill him, I’m afraid he has the strength of a peak mid-Fourth Order HighG.o.d Realm master at the very least, perhaps even a late-Fourth Order!”
These w.a.n.gu Clan Elders didn"t know that Fang Chu had hidden his true cultivation realm and a.s.sumed that he was just an early Fourth Order HighG.o.d Realm disciple.
w.a.n.gu Zhi nodded in agreement, “This Huang Xiaolong, I wonder how many years he had been cultivating for. Is it one thousand eight hundred years, or closer to two thousand years? To possess such strength, truly astonis.h.i.+ng!”
While the crowd on the Aeon Square was fervently talking about Huang Xiaolong taking the first place with shock vibrating in their hearts, far away across an unknown number of galaxies, back in the Black Tortoise Galaxy, w.a.n.g Na was leaning leisurely in her seat inside the Wuhuang Peak’s luxurious hall within the Black Warrior Inst.i.tute grounds, enjoying some fragrant tea brewed from high quality Heavenly Mountain tea leaves.
These days, w.a.n.g Na had been in an excellent mood.
As the day of the new Black Warrior Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al Instalment Ceremony drew closer, more and more of the inst.i.tute’s Grand Elders and Elders had professed loyalty towards her.
“There’s only a little over a month left until the HighG.o.d Advancement Tournament ends, right?” w.a.n.g Na lazily glanced at the person standing several steps lower, Grand Elder He Zhiwu.
“That is so, Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al.” He Zhiwu took a small step forward, respectfully answering w.a.n.g Na.
Although the installment ceremony had yet to take place, He Zhiwu and the others already greeted w.a.n.g Na as the ‘Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al’. In these people’s opinion, w.a.n.g Na succeeding the position of Black Warrior Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al was a certainty.
w.a.n.g Na wondered out loud, “I wonder how the tournament ranking is like...”
Due to the great distance between the Eternal Galaxy and Black Tortoise Galaxy, news of the latest changes on the ranking list couldn"t be transferred to them in a short time, hence, w.a.n.g Na and the others were still ignorant of the tournament’s final ranking result.
“Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al can rest a.s.sured a thousand times. Since the Great Lord is going to deal with him personally, that Huang Xiaolong is dead for sure!” He Zhiwu wore a flattering smile, continuing, “Moreover, I found out that Huang Xiaolong had previously offended some Yelu Family’s disciples, who definitely won’t let him off, he’s most likely already dead.”
There were undisguised hatred and resentment in w.a.n.g Na’s eyes, “It’s a pity that I cannot kill Huang Xiaolong that dog with my own hands!”
He Zhiwu laughed, “Although Huang Xiaolong’s dead, there’s still the Huang Family. When the time comes, I will capture and bring these people alive in front of Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al, so that you can vent and deal with them accordingly.”
w.a.n.g Na nodded with satisfaction.
“Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al, in truth, we need not wait for Feng Yang’s return to proceed with the installment ceremony.” Grand Elder He Fei suddenly said.
w.a.n.g Na was tempted, “Your meaning is?”
“According to the established rules, the time for the installment ceremony has already pa.s.sed, therefore, even if Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al decides to have the ceremony tomorrow, Feng Yang has no valid reason to condemn you when he returns.” He Fei added, “And Feng Yang, in order to watch his personal disciple’s performance in the tournament, left the inst.i.tute and even the Black Tortoise Galaxy for a prolonged period and did not rush back to conduct the installment ceremony as expected of an Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al. When he returns, Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al can use this as a reason to punish him.”
w.a.n.g Na’s eyes lit up, nearly clapping her hands, shouting: “Excellent! Immediately pa.s.s my orders, invite all the prominent forces of the Black Tortoise Galaxy to attend the installment ceremony one month later, all Ancestors and Patriarchs must be invited!”
“Yes, Inst.i.tute Princ.i.p.al!”
The present Grand Elders respectfully acknowledged.
…
At the same time in the Overflowing Lightning World, Huang Xiaolong watched Fang Chu tumble lifelessly to the floor. His Archdevil Supreme G.o.dhead immediately began devouring Fang Chu’s blood essence and fortune energy, roiling like waves into his body.
Huang Xiaolong was enshrouded in a coc.o.o.n of glimmering bright light as Fang Chu’s corpse was shrinking at a visible rate.
In less than a dozen breaths, Fang Chu’s body had completely turned into a dried corpse.
A few minutes later, Fang Chu’s close to a thousand li in diameter Fortune G.o.dhead exploded into sparkling dust, disappeared in the air. Every last strand of fortune energy within Fang Chu’s G.o.dhead was absorbed by Huang Xiaolong, helping him step into peak late-Second order HighG.o.d Realm, infinitely close to breaking through to Third Order HighG.o.d Realm.
Looking at the dried corpse, Huang Xiaolong flicked a sliver of fire element G.o.dforce onto it, completely burning away the last of Fang Chu’s body.
Only then did he spare a glance at the four people, w.a.n.gu Yanhui, Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei, lying in different corners.
Although they all suffered from Fang Chu’s attack and were subjected to intense battle shockwaves created by Huang Xiaolong and Fang Chu’s battle, these four people were still alive. They were merely unconscious, which was easily remedied after Huang Xiaolong fed each of them an Undying G.o.d Pill.
Waking up, the four of them looked around the miserable ruined hall, but saw was no sign of Fang Chu.
“Huang, Big bro Huang Xiaolong, where’s that Fang Chu? Is he, you…?” Mu Qi couldn’t help asking, a little hesitant.
Huang Xiaolong almost laughed hearing Mu Qi calling him ‘Big bro.’ He answered Mu Qi’s question, “That’s right, Fang Chu has been killed by me.”
Obtaining Huang Xiaolong’s confirmation that he had indeed killed Fang Chu, w.a.n.gu Yanhui, Mu Qi, You Wuye, and Lu Dongwei’s hearts shuddered, their eyes big as fists staring at Huang Xiaolong.
They did not forget that Fang Chu was actually a Fifth Order HighG.o.d Realm master, yet he was still killed by Huang Xiaolong!
Then… what was Huang Xiaolong’s real strength?!
The four of them felt short of breath.
It didn’t take long for them to notice the changes on the ranking list; Fang Chu’s name had disappeared, and Huang Xiaolong had climbed to the top spot!
Ignoring the four, Huang Xiaolong turned his attention toward the giant Lightning G.o.d corpse still unaffected high in the air. Despite the earth-shattering battle from earlier, the Lightning G.o.d’s corpse didn"t suffer the slightest damage. With a wave of his hand, that Lightning G.o.d corpse and the giant divine lightning hammer beside it flew into his Asura Ring.
w.a.n.gu Yanhui and the other three could only watch Huang Xiaolong take away the Lightning G.o.d’s corpse and the divine lightning hammer, not one of them dared to speak a word.
The five-footed divine cauldron at the center of the hall also entered Huang Xiaolong’s Asura Ring. However, he only took a third of the pills placed on the drawers in the four corners of the hall, leaving the rest to be equally divided amongst the four people.
Naturally, the four of them had no complaints, and in fact were grateful to Huang Xiaolong. These were pills refined by a Heavenly G.o.d master, every single pill was extremely valuable.
After collecting and dividing the pills inside the hall, they used the five keys to activate the central formation again, leaving the hall.
After leaving the hall, w.a.n.gu Yanhui, Mu Qi, and Lu Dongwei bid farewell to Huang Xiaolong and left, leaving their part of the key to Huang Xiaolong.
When the three of them disappeared from view, Huang Xiaolong turned and ordered You Wuye to be on guard. You Wuye acknowledged respectfully, while Huang Xiaolong himself entered the deepest underground s.p.a.ce of the Lightning G.o.d’s cultivation dwelling using the five keys.
Here, at the deepest underground section of the Lightning G.o.d’s cultivation dwelling, laid a spiritual vein that resembled a giant lightning dragon with a length of several hundred li!
