Chapter 141 - 141 141 Ten Thousand Treasures Auction

141: Chapter 141 Ten Thousand Treasures Auction 141: Chapter 141 Ten Thousand Treasures Auction After Fei Hou left, Huang Xiaolong and Marshal Haotian waited for him in the main hall of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce.

As the sky gradually brightened, Fei Hou returned, holding the head of Mei Pengliang in his hands.

Fei Hou reported respectfully, “Sect Leader, Mei Pengliang and the other disciples of the Blue Cloud Pavilion have all been slain by my hand!”

Huang Xiaolong nodded, he had anticipated this outcome.

“In a few days, we will return to Luotong Royal City,” Huang Xiaolong pondered.

Although Mei Pengliang and his father Mei Sen of the Blue Cloud Pavilion had been dealt with, there were still matters to handle, so Huang Xiaolong planned to return to Luotong Royal City after a few days.

“Yes, Sect Leader!” Fei Hou responded respectfully.

Before dawn, the news of Mei Sen’s assassination, like a massive bombshell, caused severe shockwaves throughout the entirety of Great Chao County, almost all of which was in an uproar.

Even commoners knew about the annihilation of the Blue Cloud Pavilion’s branch in Great Chao County; from the branch chairman Mei Sen down to the lowest disciples, all were wiped out!

Inside the Great Chao County City Lord Mansion, City Lord Wu Dong looked at Mei Sen’s corpse with a grim expression.

Mei Sen and he had a good relationship.

“City Lord, should we deploy heavy troops to surround the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce?” At this moment, a guard from the City Lord Mansion stepped forward and said to Wu Dong, “It must be the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce that killed Chairman Mei Sen and the others!”

“Exactly, City Lord, even if the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce has Marshal backing them, so what?

If a prince breaks the law, he faces the same charges as the commoners.

I refuse to believe they would dare resist arrest!” Another guard from the City Lord Mansion spoke up.

Wu Dong’s expression darkened and brightened alternately, then after a while, he spoke, “Let’s first report this matter to Prime Minister Wu Feng and let him decide on all aspects.” After speaking, he dispatched a confidant to report the incident to Prime Minister Wu Feng in the Royal City.

A few hours later, Wu Dong received a reply and instructions from Prime Minister Wu Feng.

Looking at the reply and instructions from Prime Minister Wu Feng, Wu Dong felt relieved.

Five days had passed.

It had been five days since Mei Sen and the disciples of the Blue Cloud Pavilion were killed, and the discussions in Great Chao County gradually quieted down.

To the surprise of all the major and minor powers in Great Chao County, the City Lord Mansion had no reaction whatsoever, while the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce faced no adverse consequences; in fact, their business was busier than ever.

Ten days later, Huang Xiaolong and Marshal Haotian, along with Fei Hou, finally left Great Chao County and returned to Luotong Royal City.

Upon returning to Luotong Royal City, Huang Xiaolong went straight back to Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

No sooner had he returned to Heavenly Mystical Mansion than Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu from Star Sky Academy came over.

They were there to discuss matters concerning the Inner Court with Huang Xiaolong.

Sitting in the main hall of Heavenly Mystical Mansion, Sun Zhang hesitated for a moment before saying to Huang Xiaolong, “Xiao Long, the day before yesterday, we held an Inner Court council meeting.

Xiong Chu and I proposed your entrance to the Inner Court, and most of the elders agreed, but…” He paused there.

Xiong Chu continued, “However, three elders disagreed with your entrance to the Inner Court.”

With ten elders in the Inner Court and three dissenting, it meant that Huang Xiaolong could not enter the Inner Court, as more than nine agreeing votes were necessary.

“Oh, three elders?” Huang Xiaolong’s expression remained calm.

Whether he entered the Inner Court or not was not important to him.

Entry to the Inner Court simply meant more cultivation resources than what was available to third-year students, such as allocation of Spirit Pills and rewards.

However, the Flame Dragon Pearl inside the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda was more valuable than some Third Grade and Fourth Grade Spirit Pills.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s indifference, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu felt somewhat helpless.

Did this young man truly have no interest in the Inner Court?

To know, entry to the Inner Court was the dream of every batch of students in every grade year at Star Sky Academy, each student aiming to get in.

The reason those three elders didn’t agree to your entry is that typically, the students admitted to the Inner Court are all above Tenth Rank, while you are only Ninth Rank,” Sun Zhang explained.

“Additionally, those three, as well as Prime Minister Wu Feng, have quite deep connections,” Xiong Chu added.

In Xiong Chu’s view, the opposition from these three elders might also be due to manipulations by Prime Minister Wu Feng behind the scenes, taking into account the ongoing animosity between him and Marshal Haotian; the supposed requirement for Tenth Rank strength was merely an excuse.

“Prime Minister Wu Feng!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes chilled, another involvement of Prime Minister Wu Feng.

Recently, has Prime Minister Wu Feng been opposing him at every turn?

Is it just because of Marshal Haotian?

Perhaps, things aren’t that simple.

A while later, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu left the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

Before they left, Huang Xiaolong asked them for the names of the three elders.

Xie Wei!

Jiang Hengyu!

Chen Fengli!

These were their names.

Huang Xiaolong memorized the names of the three and then activated the God Capturing Ring to enter the Ancient Battlefield to continue his cultivation.

He had been at the Peak of Tenth Rank Middle Stage for some days now, and recently he felt that a breakthrough to Late Stage Tenth Rank was not far away.

With four months until the academy’s annual competition, Huang Xiaolong planned to try his best to break through to the Late Stage Tenth Rank Peak before this year’s competition, after which he intended to seize first place in the overall academy competition!

By winning first place in the overall academy competition, he would then head to the Broken Blade Empire the following year to participate in the Battle of the Imperial City!

Initially, Huang Xiaolong had planned to break through to Innate Stage next year and then win first place in the overall academy competition.

This would give him a better chance at the Battle of the Imperial City in the Broken Blade Empire, but now, he had changed his mind.

He wanted to enter the Broken Blade Academy as soon as possible and then find that Fourth-ranked Soul-breaking Pearl!

Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged in the midst of the Ancient Battlefield, continuously executing the Asura Technique, devouring the rolling Nine Netherworld Dark Energy falling from the void.

The Black and Blue Dragons hovered behind Huang Xiaolong, their bodies flickering with light and the Dragon Scales solidifying more and more across their thirteen-meter-long bodies.

As Huang Xiaolong’s strength approached the Innate Stage, the bodies of the Black and Blue Dragons became more solidified, appearing like two real Ancient Divine Dragons from a distance.

Half a month passed.

During this half-month, Huang Xiaolong had almost entirely been cultivating in the Ancient Battlefield, practicing not only the Asura Technique but also the Yijinjing.

The Yijinjing also dimly showed signs of breaking through to the Tenth Posture.

To break through to the Tenth Posture was to reach the Innate Stage!

By then, even if Huang Xiaolong’s Fighting Energy had not broken through to the Innate Stage, having his Inner Strength reach the Innate Stage would also be very beneficial during the Battle of the Imperial City.

Huang Xiaolong’s entire body flickered continuously with light; even a flame-like radiance faintly emerged on his skin.

Over half a month of cultivation, the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi within his ten meridians circulated and tumbled incessantly.

Suddenly, there was a tremor within Huang Xiaolong’s body, and the Nine Netherworld Fighting Qi in his meridians and Qi Sea once again doubled in size.

Late Stage Tenth Rank, finally a breakthrough!

Huang Xiaolong continued to execute the Asura Technique and only stopped after several hours, opening his eyes, which shot out beams of light sharp as Cold Blades.

Huang Xiaolong exited the Ancient Battlefield.

Right after exiting the Ancient Battlefield, he ran into his sister, Huang Min.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong, she ran up to him happily, grabbing his hand, “Big brother, you’ve finally come out of your cultivation.”

Seeing the look on his sister Huang Min’s face, Huang Xiaolong knew this girl definitely had something up her sleeve, which gave him somewhat of a headache.

Sure enough, his sister Huang Min continued, “Big brother, let’s go, you should accompany me to the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction.”
