Invincible Over the World
Chapter 132 - 132 132 Trouble at the Blue Cloud Pavilion

132: Chapter 132 Trouble at the Blue Cloud Pavilion 132: Chapter 132 Trouble at the Blue Cloud Pavilion The City Lord of Southern Cliff City was murdered; it did not take long for the news to reach Lutong Royal City.

Within the Wei Mansion in Lutong Royal City, Duke Wei Bi heard the news and, in a fit of rage, slapped his hand down, turning all of the surrounding stone chairs to dust.

“Find them for me, even if it means turning the Luotong Kingdom upside down, I want the murderers found!” Wei Bi roared.

The guards at the Duke Mansion trembled in their hearts and hastily agreed.

“Also, imprison all the guards from the Southern Cliff City Lord Mansion, interrogate them one by one.

These useless curs can’t even protect my brother with thousands of them; what use are they!” Wei Bi continued to bellow furiously.

“Furthermore, execute all the guards who stormed into the room and saw City Lord Wei Yang’s body immediately!” Then, Wei Bi ordered with a chilling killing intent.

Seeing City Lord Wei Yang’s body?

That meant the guards who saw the concubine’s corpse too?

The guard from the Duke Mansion immediately understood the Duke’s intention, respectfully agreed, and retreated.

After all the guards had left, Wei Bi’s eyes were blood red, and he enunciated each word with teeth clenched: “If I find out who you are, who killed my brother, I swear I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs!”

While Duke Wei Bi was grinding his teeth in fury, Huang Xiaolong was on his way to Lutong Royal City.

More than two months later, Huang Xiaolong finally returned to Lutong Royal City.

Upon returning to Lutong Royal City, Huang Xiaolong did not go back to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion but instead headed to Star Sky Academy first.

When he arrived at the dean’s office, Xiong Chu was not there; only Sun Zhang was present.

Huang Xiaolong took out the Iron Crocodile Demon Pill from his Asura Ring.

Looking at the Iron Crocodile Demon Pill, Sun Zhang nodded and smiled, “Yes, this is the Iron Crocodile Demon Pill.

You are now a third-year student in class three.

Xiong Chu and I will recommend you for the Inner Court.

However, we still need to convene with all the elders of the Inner Court to make a decision.

Of course, with your talent, there should be no problem getting into the Inner Court.”

The Inner Court only has ten spots each year, but the decision for those spots is not just up to Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu.

They have to discuss it with all the elders of the Inner Court, and if over ninety percent agree, only then is it permissible.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, although entering the Inner Court was not important to him.

He advanced to third year only to seize first place in the academy’s grand competition when the time came.

But just as Huang Xiaolong was about to leave, Sun Zhang suddenly spoke up, “You killed City Lord Wei Yang of Southern Cliff City and his concubine, didn’t you?”

Huang Xiaolong turned, somewhat surprised.

How did Sun Zhang know about it?

Sun Zhang smiled and said, “Don’t look at me like that.

It was just a guess, but it turns out I was right.”

Huang Xiaolong then realized that it must have been because the timing of his hunt for the Iron Crocodile in the Southern Cliff Swamp coincided with Wei Yang’s murder in Southern Cliff City, which led Sun Zhang to make his guess.

“I heard that Wei Yang’s concubine had a nice body, a big butt, right?” Sun Zhang then blurted out unexpectedly.

Huang Xiaolong was startled, not expecting Sun Zhang to ask such a question, and shook his head with a smile.

So, Sun Zhang was a lech?

“That’s right, I killed them,” Huang Xiaolong admitted frankly.

There was no point in hiding it.

Of course, Sun Zhang wouldn’t spread the word.

Huang Xiaolong finished speaking and turned to leave.

Sun Zhang wanted to ask something else, but seeing Huang Xiaolong walking away, he could only shake his head with a smile: “This kid!”

After leaving the academy, Huang Xiaolong went back to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

Huang Xiaolong returned to the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

Fei Hou came to pay his respects, and Huang Xiaolong inquired about the situation of the Heavenly Mystical Mansion over the past few months.

After Fei Hou reported everything, he suddenly said, “Sect Leader, the Blue Cloud Pavilion has had quite a few conflicts with our Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce recently.”

The Blue Cloud Pavilion was the largest Chamber of Commerce in the neighboring Cloud Sea Kingdom.

It had developed for nearly a hundred years, had widespread influence, and even had over a dozen branches in the Luotong Kingdom, with significant power of its own.

At that time, when the Exotic Treasure appeared in the Holy Bright Lake of the Outer Kingdom, many people from the Blue Cloud Pavilion had also gone there.

“What sort of conflict?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

Fei Hou respectfully said, “Half a month ago, the disciples of the Blue Cloud Pavilion’s branch in our Great Chao County went to our Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce branch there, saying they wanted to buy one million copies of Nine Tripods Magazine.

Our Nine Tripods’ Great Chao branch disciples said they didn’t have that many, and the Blue Cloud Pavilion’s disciples started a fight and injured our branch disciples.”

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered, wanting one million copies of Nine Tripods Magazine, the other party was clearly just making trouble on purpose.

“Are you sure that it was their disciples who started the fight and injured people first?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“Yes, definitely!” Fei Hou affirmed with certainty, “After their Blue Cloud Pavilion disciples started the fight and injured people, they even boasted arrogantly, saying that the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce can’t even supply one million magazines, so we might as well stop doing business and just shut down for good.

For the past half month, the Blue Cloud Pavilion disciples from the Great Chao branch have been causing trouble and fighting people at our Nine Tripods Great Chao branch every day!”

“They go there every day, all to demand that our Nine Tripods Great Chao branch supply them with one million Nine Tripods Magazines.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned cold.

These Blue Cloud Pavilion disciples were causing trouble and fighting at their Great Chao branch every day, and they were clearly not putting his Heavenly Mystical Mansion in their eyes, or rather, they were not putting him, Huang Xiaolong, or the Marshal Mansion in their eyes at all!

“Find out which forces the Blue Cloud Pavilion has in the Luotong Kingdom,” Huang Xiaolong ordered.

Fei Hou replied, “It’s been found out.

The reason why the Blue Cloud Pavilion is so arrogant is not only because they are jealous of our Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce’s income, but mainly because they are backed by people such as Prime Minister Wu Feng, Duke Wei Bi, and Minister Li Jian!”

Prime Minister Wu Feng!

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned colder.

No wonder the Blue Cloud Pavilion was so arrogant even in the Luotong Kingdom.

It turned out that they were being backed by the Prime Minister Wu Feng!

In the Luotong Kingdom, Marshal Haotian was the foremost among the military officers, an elder of three dynasties, with high status, second only to one, and above ten thousand generals.

However, this Prime Minister Wu Feng was the head of the civil officials and similarly, an elder of three dynasties.

Although his status was slightly lesser than Marshal Haotian’s, the difference was minute.

Moreover, in the Luotong Kingdom, this Prime Minister Wu Feng and Marshal Haotian, one civil and the other military, were always at loggerheads.

He had advised King Lu Zhe several times, claiming that Marshal Haotian, commanding the huge Luotong Kingdom army, posed a great threat to the Kingdom, and asking King Lu Zhe to dismiss Marshal Haotian from his post.

Perhaps this incident with the Blue Cloud Pavilion was tacitly approved by this Prime Minister Wu Feng.

In recent years, the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce had expanded rapidly, earning nearly a hundred thousand gold daily, which indeed made many people discontented and envious.

“So it was this old geezer!” Huang Xiaolong said coldly.

However, apart from Prime Minister Wu Feng, he hadn’t expected Duke Wei Bi to be another person backing the Blue Cloud Pavilion.

Huang Xiaolong had just killed his brother, the City Lord of Southern Cliff City, Wei Yang.

“What about the other branches?

Have they experienced similar situations?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“The other branches have not, for the time being,” Fei Hou responded, hesitating before adding, “Sect Leader, regarding this matter, should I personally go to Great Chao County City to handle it?”

Huang Xiaolong nodded, “Tomorrow, you will go with me.”

Huang Xiaolong planned to make a personal visit.

If this incident with the Blue Cloud Pavilion was left unresolved, it would not only be detrimental to the development of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce but would also affect Huang Xiaolong and Marshal Haotian.

“The Sect Leader will go there personally?” Fei Hou was startled, then immediately answered respectfully.
