166: Chapter 166: Can’t Find Out?
Compared to Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, Zhao Shu and Yu Ming remained calm.
They had seen imperial cities larger than Broken Blade Imperial City before.
Even the Asura Gate headquarters, Shura City, was grander than Broken Blade Imperial City!
“Sect Leader, shall we go in?” After a moment, Zhao Shu asked.
Huang Xiaolong was brought back to his senses, took a deep breath, and nodded, “Yes, let’s go in!” As he stepped toward Broken Blade Imperial City, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart.
Broken Blade Imperial City!
This would be his new starting point!
Huang Xiaolong longed to look up to the sky and shout, Broken Blade Imperial City, Huang Xiaolong has arrived!
Huang Xiaolong and his party made their way into Broken Blade Imperial City alongside the crowd rushing from various kingdoms, but as they passed through the city gates of Broken Blade Imperial City, each person was charged a hundred Gold Coins.
A hundred Gold Coins!
A hundred Gold Coins could suffice for a year’s expenses for some families from the kingdoms.
Huang Xiaolong walked on the exceptionally wide streets of Broken Blade Imperial City, strolling slowly while looking at the stores on both sides of the street.
The streets of Broken Blade Imperial City were wide indeed, at three to four hundred meters across, and Huang Xiaolong noticed that the streets were paved with uniformly cut Colorful Stones.
Colorful Stones were an exceptionally hard stone in the Martial Soul World, even harder than the Star Light Stones used in the Star Sky Academy’s plaza, and, of course, they were more expensive.
A single Star Light Stone was valued at a thousand Gold Coins, how many millions of Gold Coins would the paving of this endless street in Broken Blade Imperial City with Colorful Stones cost?
Streets paved with Colorful Stones in Broken Blade Imperial City emanated a regal and majestic aura, prosperous and splendid, yet dignified.
Although there were many carriages and pedestrians in Broken Blade Imperial City, it didn’t feel crowded.
After walking for over two hours and nearing midday,
Passing by the Unforgettable Restaurant, Huang Xiaolong stopped, and looking at the endless stream of customers entering and leaving, turned to Zhao Shu, Yu Ming, and Fei Hou, and said, “This restaurant seems good, shall we go in for a bite?”
“Yes, Young Master!” the three of them respectfully replied.
Before the pedestrians, Zhao Shu now addressed Huang Xiaolong as Young Master.
Thus, Huang Xiaolong and his group entered the Unforgettable Restaurant.
The restaurant had three levels.
When Huang Xiaolong and his party entered, the first level was already full, so they went up to the second level.
The seats on the second level were also nearly all taken, and the few that were available were for pairs; they were a party of four.
“We’ll go up to the third floor,” Huang Xiaolong said.
Just as Huang Xiaolong and his group were about to ascend to the third floor, the two waiters guarding the stairway stopped them, saying politely, “I’m sorry, but only those with a Baron or higher title from the Broken Blade Empire are allowed on the third floor of our Unforgettable Restaurant.”
Although they spoke politely, their eyes couldn’t help but reveal a condescending gaze.
A chill flashed in Zhao Shu’s and Yu Ming’s eyes.
A formidable aura burst forth from Yu Ming.
In the high skies above the Unforgettable Restaurant, whirlwinds formed, rotating and screeching.
Suddenly, the air currents inside the entire Unforgettable Restaurant came to a standstill, and the previously noisy place fell silent in an instant.
All the customers on the first, second, and even third floors looked towards the second floor where Yu Ming stood, faces filled with shock and fear.
Under Yu Ming’s oppressive presence, the two waiters almost suffocated, their faces filled with terror; their legs gave out, and they dropped to their knees.
“Such a powerful aura!
That middle-aged man must be an Innate Ninth Stage, or even the Innate Tenth Stage, a terrifying existence infinitely close to the Holy Domain!”
“Who are those four people?
It looks like the middle-aged man might be the young one’s guard?!”
People on the second floor, both local powerhouses and strong ones from other kingdoms who had sensed Yu Ming’s aura, murmured in shock and trepidation.
In Broken Blade Imperial City, although Innate Experts weren’t rare, those above Innate Seventh Rank were very scarce.
Innate First to Third Rank were considered Early Stage, Fourth to Sixth Stage as the Middle Stage, and only at Seventh Rank did one reach High-Level.
The stature and identity of an Innate High-level Expert were starkly different from those at Early Stage.
Among the princes of the Broken Blade Empire, only Young Master Wu Hen with the highest talent was at Innate Tenth Stage.
As the crowd watched in shock, a middle-aged man dressed as the restaurant’s owner hurriedly came up, followed by two guards.
Both guards were also Innate Experts, although they were merely at Innate Second Stage.
Upon reaching Yu Ming, the restaurant owner, with a highly respectful demeanor, asked what had happened.
After understanding the situation, the restaurant owner repeatedly apologized to Huang Xiaolong and Yu Ming, wishing he could cut down the two waiters himself.
“Young Master, I’ll arrange a VIP room for you on the third floor immediately,” the restaurant owner said respectfully as he led Huang Xiaolong and his company to the third floor.
Huang Xiaolong had not intended to go to the third floor originally; it was an unexpected outcome caused by Yu Ming’s release of his aura.
Now, he had no choice but to follow the restaurant owner’s “kind gesture” and the respect he offered, so he proceeded to the third floor with Zhao Shu, Yu Ming, and Fei Hou.
However, this might be for the best, let’s make a high-profile entrance into the Broken Blade Imperial City.
After ten days, the battle for the Imperial City, Huang Xiaolong would find it impossible to stay low-key.
Since that’s the case, attracting attention now isn’t an issue.
Of course, with Huang Xiaolong possessing the Black Dragon Martial Soul, representing Luotong Kingdom and Star Sky Academy to participate in the battle, the royalty of the Broken Blade Empire and some other forces would have already known and taken notice of him.
The restaurant owner respectfully escorted Huang Xiaolong and his party of four to the third floor and then led them into VIP Room Number Three.
There are a total of twenty VIP rooms on the third floor.
The closer to the front, the more prestigious the identity represented.
VIP Room Number One is reserved for Holy Domain experts, but it remains vacant most of the time.
Of course, if the restaurant owner knew that among Huang Xiaolong’s party of four, Zhao Shu was a Holy Domain expert, he would have been scared out of his wits and ushered them into VIP Room Number One.
Unforgettable Restaurant is one of the several great restaurants in the Broken Blade Imperial City, but it has only had a Holy Domain expert stay there on the day it opened, so Room Number One has always been empty.
Huang Xiaolong’s party of four entered VIP Room Number Three, which was decorated so lavishly it resembled a small villa.
Once inside VIP Room Number Three and seated, Huang Xiaolong asked the restaurant owner to serve their best wine and dishes.
The owner respectfully complied before retreating.
Meanwhile, in VIP Room Number Two, sat a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a yellow brocade robe.
He was unusually handsome, almost ethereal, especially his eyes that glittered with a golden flash when they moved.
With a flick of his right hand, he summoned a guard, “Go investigate the identities of those four people.
I want to know everything about them within an hour.”
“Yes, Young Master!” the guard respectfully complied and withdrew.
The young man lightly tapped on the table with a rhythm that formed a pleasant melody.
At that moment, a stunningly beautiful woman by his side, with her alluring appearance and in her mid-twenties, burst into laughter.
Her laugh tinkled like pearls dropping onto a plate, tickling one’s heart, as her bosom quivered, seemingly ready to burst forth at any moment.
As the woman’s laughter subsided, her red lips parted lightly and she teased, “I never thought our Heartless Young Master would take interest in someone else.”
The young man’s face remained expressionless, “You, Zhao Wuji, are more interested in them than I am.”
Zhao Wuji let out a coquettish laugh and leaned toward the young man, her body seemingly pressing against his.
Her bosom grazed him as she teased, “This time you’re wrong.
I’m only interested in you right now.”
The guards inside VIP Room Number Two swallowed hard.
However, the Heartless Young Master coldly pushed Zhao Wuji away, “I, on the other hand, have no interest in you.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji’s face broke into a radiant smile, “It is precisely because you have no interest in me that I find you interesting.”
A moment later, the guard who had been sent to investigate returned and reported, “Young Master, I’ve found out that the black-haired young man is called Huang Xiaolong, representing the Lutong Kingdom Starry Sky Academy to participate in the Imperial City battle.
His strength is at the Postnatal Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak.”
Zhao Wuji couldn’t help but laugh arrogantly, “Just a kid at the Postnatal Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak.
A man of such low caliber doesn’t interest me at all.”
Just then, the guard continued, “However, this Huang Xiaolong is only seventeen years old!”
“Seventeen years old!” Both the Heartless Young Master and Zhao Wuji were stunned, their expressions changing.
Seventeen years old and at the Postnatal Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak?!
“How is that possible?
It’s not possible.
How could one be at the Postnatal Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak at seventeen?!” Zhao Wuji exclaimed.
As far as she knew, even the leading figure among the Broken Blade Empire’s Five Young Masters, Prince Wu Hen, couldn’t achieve the Late Stage Tenth Rank Peak at seventeen!
“It is absolutely true!” the guard pressed on, “Huang Xiaolong’s age has been verified.
His Martial Soul is the Ancient Divine Dragon, a Twelfth Level Peak Martial Soul, the Black Dragon!”
“Twelfth Level Peak Martial Soul, Black Dragon!” the Heartless Young Master and Zhao Wuji were shocked once again.
Still, the Heartless Young Master frowned.
Even with a Twelfth Level Peak Martial Soul, how could Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation progress be so rapid?
He himself possessed a Twelfth Level Peak Martial Soul and was fully supported by his family, yet his cultivation speed didn’t match up to Huang Xiaolong’s.
Zhao Wuji evidently thought of the same issue, her beautiful eyes flashing with curiosity.
“What about the other three?” asked the Heartless Young Master to the guard.
The guard hastened to reply, “One of them is named Fei Hou, and he is the direct disciple of the Luotong Kingdom Marshal Haotian.
Oddly enough, both he and Marshall Haotian call Huang Xiaolong ‘Young Master’.
What is strange is that Huang Xiaolong comes from a small and rather ordinary family in the Luotong Kingdom.”
Golden light flashed in the eyes of the Heartless Young Master, “Huang Xiaolong must have another identity!”
Otherwise, how could a commoner make a Kingdom Marshal address him as Young Master!
Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement.
“And the other two?” the Heartless Young Master continued to inquire.
The guard hesitated before answering, “As for the other two, I have not been able to determine their identities yet.”
“Unable to determine?” the Heartless Young Master was slightly surprised.
(I’m not feeling well.
It took me five hours to write this chapter, and I’m very tired) (To be continued.
