Invincible Over the World
Chapter 158 - 158 158 Heading to the Broken Blade Empire

158: Chapter 158: Heading to the Broken Blade Empire 158: Chapter 158: Heading to the Broken Blade Empire Zhao Shu and Yu Ming were extremely shocked when they heard that Huang Xiaolong was just half a step away from breaking through to the Innate level.

Of course, Huang Xiaolong did not tell them about his Inner Strength breaking through to the Innate realm.

If they knew that Huang Xiaolong’s strength was now no less than that of Hao Tian and stronger than Fei Hou, they would likely be even more stunned, as still as wooden chickens!

Thus, Zhao Shu and Yu Ming stayed on at the Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

After ten days, they accompanied Huang Xiaolong to the Broken Blade Empire.

During those ten days, Huang Xiaolong instructed Fei Hou on many matters.

Now that he was about to set off for the Broken Blade Empire and did not know when he would return to the Luotong Kingdom, Huang Xiaolong had many things to prepare.

For instance, the affairs of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce, as well as the matters concerning his parents, younger sister, and younger brother.

Huang Xiaolong had to make preparations for these matters in advance.

Now that Huang Xiaolong would be settling down in Broken Blade Imperial City, it was natural that the headquarters of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce would have to relocate there.

Once Huang Xiaolong had settled down in the Broken Blade Imperial City, the Huang Family members would also move there.

The ten days passed quickly.

During these ten days, apart from giving Fei Hou instructions on preparing for various affairs, Huang Xiaolong was diligently cultivating the Asura Technique.

Now, within Huang Xiaolong’s Asura Ring, ten thousand level-ten Demon Cores were stored, which were enough for Huang Xiaolong to consume and cultivate with the Flame Dragon Pearl for ten years.

Although ten thousand level-ten Demon Cores was a staggering number, it was nothing for the current Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce.

Huang Xiaolong no longer needed to hunt demon beasts himself to accumulate Demon Cores.

After ten days, Huang Xiaolong’s Combat Energy Cultivation had improved a bit.

On this day, the weather was clear and sunny.

Outside the gate of Lutong Royal City, a group of people stood.

In addition to the Huang Family members, King Lu Zhe of Luotong Kingdom, Prince Lu Kai, as well as Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu from Star Sky Academy had come to see off Huang Xiaolong.

This time, Huang Xiaolong did not bring many people with him to the Broken Blade Empire.

Besides Zhao Shu and Yu Ming, he only brought Fei Hou along.

The four of them set out lightly equipped.

As the Luotong Kingdom Marshal, Hao Tian held an important position and naturally could not accompany Huang Xiaolong to the Broken Blade Empire.

Moreover, Luotong Country needed Luo Tian to stabilize the situation.

The safety of the Huang Family members in the Heavenly Mystical Mansion also depended on Luo Tian’s protection.

King Lu Zhe of Luotong and Xiong Chu did not recognize Yu Ming standing beside Huang Xiaolong, but Sun Zhang did.

When he saw Yu Ming, Sun Zhang was greatly startled and hurriedly went forward to greet him respectfully, “Senior Yu Ming!”

When they heard Sun Zhang address the unremarkable-looking middle-aged man beside Huang Xiaolong as ‘senior,’ King Lu Zhe, Xiong Chu, and the others were also surprised.

Sun Zhang quickly informed King Lu Zhe, Xiong Chu, and the others of Yu Ming’s identity.

When they heard that Yu Ming was actually the master of both Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou, King Lu Zhe, Xiong Chu, and the others were shocked and hurried forward to pay their respects.

Both of them knew that Marshal Haotian’s master was a terrifying existence close to the Holy Domain!

However, hearing Yu Ming also address Huang Xiaolong as Young Master, not only Sun Zhang, King Lu Zhe, Xiong Chu, and the others broke out in a cold sweat.

They also noticed that Yu Ming was extremely respectful towards the likewise ordinary-looking Zhao Shu.

Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou were even more anxious and nervous in front of Zhao Shu.

Yet, Zhao Shu also referred to Huang Xiaolong as Young Master.

A while later, as Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, Yu Ming, and Fei Hou rode away on their Mounts, King Lu Zhe, Sun Zhang, Xiong Chu, and the others were still standing there, staring at their figures for a long time without coming back to their senses.

Such was the case with King Lu Zhe and the others, while Prince Lu Kai was so frightened that all thoughts had left him; his mind was a complete blank.

After a long time, Huang Peng saw that King Lu Zhe and the others were still standing there and cautiously approached, “Your Majesty, shall we return?”

King Lu Zhe and Sun Zhang and others had just come to their senses.

King Lu Zhe was startled and hurriedly said, “Alright, Brother Huang Peng, let’s go back!”

Brother Huang Peng?

Huang Peng was also shocked.

King Lu Zhe actually called him ‘brother’?

Had he heard it right?

If this had happened back in Huang Family Manor, it would have been unbelievable, he wouldn’t even dare to think such a thought, not even in a fart.

“I dare not.

Your Majesty, please go ahead!” Huang Peng promptly said.

Although he knew that King Lu Zhe was calling him brother entirely because of his son, Huang Xiaolong, Huang Peng dared not address King Lu Zhe as a brother.

But even though Huang Peng let King Lu Zhe go first, King Lu Zhe insisted on accompanying Huang Peng and enthusiasically took his hand as they returned to Lutong Royal City.

Watching King Lu Zhe holding Huang Peng’s hand, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu did not find it ridiculous or funny; on the contrary, they felt envious, not of Huang Peng, but of King Lu Zhe.

After returning to Lutong Royal City, King Lu Zhe did not go back to the Royal Palace, but went straight to Heavenly Mystical Mansion.

After having a heart-to-heart conversation with Huang Peng for several hours, he finally returned to the Royal Palace.

Huang Peng personally saw King Lu Zhe out of the Heavenly Mystical Mansion, watching the king’s retreating figure as if he were in a dream.

The one who just now held his hand with such warmth, to the point of giving Huang Peng goosebumps, was really their Lutong King Lu Zhe?

Even though it was true, he still found it somewhat hard to believe.

After returning to the Royal Palace, King Lu Zhe summoned Marshal Haotian.

After calling Marshal Haotian, King Lu Zhe inquired about the situation of the border guards and then hesitated before asking, “Marshal, I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask you something?”

“Your Majesty, please ask,” Marshal Haotian said, though he did not know what the King was going to ask, he had a guess.

As expected, Lu Zhe asked, “That person, Zhao Shu, what is his identity?” he finished, locking his anxious gaze onto Haotian.

Haotian pondered and said, “This subject dares not reveal the identity of Elder Zhao Shu, however, what I can say is that Elder Zhao Shu’s strength is far greater than that of my master.”

Far greater?!

Lu Zhe was stunned.

Haotian’s master, Yu Ming, was a terrifying presence who had taken over the Holy Domain, being stronger than Yu Ming meant that Zhao Shu was — Lu Zhe’s complexion changed dramatically, a chill running through his body at the thought of a possibility, causing him to tremble violently and nearly fall from the dragon throne, his heart pounding wildly.

Zhao Shu was actually —?!

Then what about Huang Xiaolong?

What was Huang Xiaolong’s real identity?

Even Zhao Shu addressed him as Young Master!

Lu Zhe felt cold sweat all over his body, at the same time feeling fortunate that he had been “enthusiastic” enough in his treatment toward Huang Peng and had addressed each other as brothers.

If he had offended Huang Peng and later Huang Xiaolong became furious, just letting Zhao Shu fart could be enough to blow up the entire Lutong Royal City.

“Issue my decree, confer upon Huang Peng the title of Great Duke, to be hereditary,” Lu Zhe, returning to his senses hurriedly said to a eunuch by his side, “And confer upon Su Yan the title of First-rank Lady!”

The eunuch was greatly surprised, “Your Majesty, this, seems improper, doesn’t it?”

In the whole Lutong Kingdom, there were only three Great Dukes, and they were all conferred at the founding of the Kingdom.

Now, conferring Huang Peng as Great Duke out of nowhere was bound to be opposed by court officials, both civilian and military.

But no sooner had the eunuch finished speaking, Lu Zhe suddenly slapped the eunuch across the face, sending him flying.

“Are you the King, or am I the King?” Lu Zhe’s face turned cold as he barked.
