197: Chapter 197 Li Lu Appears 197: Chapter 197 Li Lu Appears After the middle-aged man with the goat beard had left, Yao Fei muttered to himself, “What is this kid doing entering the Inner Court?
However, to woo this kid, Duan Wuheng even was willing to lend him the Golden Order temporarily.
It seems he really places great importance on this kid!
I heard that this kid is also very close to Xie Puti.”
“However, Huang Xiaolong, do you think that by associating yourself with Duan Wuheng and the Xie Family, I would not dare to kill you?”
“I want to make you understand the terrible consequences of offending me, Yao Fei!”
The cold voice of Yao Fei echoed in the sky above the courtyard.
Every time he thought of that day at Yingfeng Hall, when Huang Xiaolong had demanded in front of everyone that he kneel and admit his fault, Yao Fei’s killing intent surged uncontrollably.
Huang Xiaolong!
The cold gleam in Yao Fei’s eyes was sharp as a knife.
At this moment, Huang Xiaolong, who had entered the Inner Court, arrived in front of a pagoda.
The pagoda, towering a hundred meters high and comprised of numerous layers, spiraled upwards in a circular shape; each layer’s exterior wall was engraved with bizarre and fantastical patterns.
The patterns depicted people, beasts, mountains, and various peculiar objects.
Looking at this pagoda, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered.
This pagoda, from its shape, looked extremely similar to the Exquisite Treasure Tower.
At this moment, a voice rang out behind Huang Xiaolong: “This is the Infinite Treasure Tower, crafted by Emperor Duanren in imitation of the Exquisite Treasure Tower.
Inside there is a Gathering Spirit Array, which greatly benefits the cultivation of Fighting Energy.”
Huang Xiaolong turned around; the speaker was a young man in a green robe, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a student badge of the Inner Court on his chest.
Crafted in imitation of the Exquisite Treasure Tower?
No wonder it looks so similar to the Exquisite Treasure Tower.
“My name is Liu Jianyu,” the young man in the green robe said with a smile.
“Huang Xiaolong,” Huang Xiaolong replied.
“You are Huang Xiaolong?!
The Huang Xiaolong with the Double Dragon Martial Soul?!” Liu Jianyu exclaimed in surprise, sizing up Huang Xiaolong from head to toe.
“Correct,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.
“So you are Huang Xiaolong,” Liu Jianyu chuckled happily, stepping forward and extending his hand.
“I’ve long wanted to meet the genius described as the most demonic talent in the history of the Broken Blade Empire’s Imperial City battle this year, Young Master Divine Dragon.”
“Young Master Divine Dragon?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, extending his hand and shaking with the other.
The two men then released their hands.
Liu Jianyu laughed, “You probably don’t know?
Now, some people have started calling you Young Master Divine Dragon alongside Wu Hen, the Five Young Masters; now the Broken Blade Empire not only has Five Young Masters but six.”
“Six Young Masters!” Huang Xiaolong shook his head.
He hadn’t expected that now he would be dubbed Young Master Divine Dragon, becoming one of the so-called Six Young Masters.
“But, you are not a student of the Inner Court, how can you enter the Inner Court?” Liu Jianyu asked.
“I have a Golden Order,” Huang Xiaolong said.
The matter of having a Golden Order would surely be spread by the members of the Guard Team soon, so there was no reason to hide it.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianyu was greatly surprised, staring at Huang Xiaolong incredulously, then laughed, “This Golden Order was given to you by Young Master Wu Hen, wasn’t it?
I didn’t expect that Young Master Wu Hen would be willing to let you use it temporarily.”
Huang Xiaolong, upon hearing this, smiled and said nothing.
If he said that the Golden Order was given to him by Duan Ren for unlimited use, not only would Liu Jianyu not believe it, but most likely the entire Broken Blade Empire would not believe it either.
Of course, except for Duan Wuheng and that Cheng Jian.
Liu Jianyu and Huang Xiaolong chatted for a while, then they parted ways.
Although Liu Jianyu didn’t mention it, Huang Xiaolong guessed that the other party must be a disciple of the Liu Family of the Broken Blade Empire.
Although the Liu Family was not comparable to Xie Puti’s Xie Family, it was also a major family, only slightly less so than Guo Tai’s Guo Family.
Regarding Liu Jianyu, Huang Xiaolong thought highly of him; much like Guo Tai, he lacked the arrogance typical of noble family disciples.
After parting with Liu Jianyu, Huang Xiaolong continued to “wander” in the Inner Court.
A day passed.
Inside Huang Xiaolong, the Exquisite Treasure Tower and the God Capturing Ring showed no abnormalities.
Only when the sky darkened did Huang Xiaolong leave the Inner Court and return to the South Mountain Mansion.
Yao Fei, who was assigned to surveil Huang Xiaolong, frowned upon hearing his subordinate’s report that Huang Xiaolong had merely walked around the Inner Court after entering.
“Just walked around?” Yao Fei pondered with a thoughtful expression.
“Young Master, could it be that the lad was just curious about the Inner Court and entered merely to take a casual look?” At that moment, one of the guards stepped forward and said.
However, before he could finish, Yao Fei swept him away with a palm strike, sending him rolling to the corner of the wall.
“What do you think?” Yao Fei coldly said.
The guard frantically smacked his lips in panic.
“Contact Jin Mu and have him come back,” Yao Fei turned and said to another guard beside him.
The guard hesitated before answering, “Young Master, we have lost contact with Senior Jin Mu for two days now, and it seems that he has disappeared!”
“What?
Disappeared?!” Yao Fei’s eyes widened in shock.
“Yes, Senior Jin Mu disappeared near the South Mountain Mansion, just like Senior Zhang,” the guard replied.
The Jin Mu that Yao Fei mentioned was the thin-faced, silver-haired old man who had been refined by Huang Xiaolong with the Exquisite Treasure Tower two days ago.
“He has been missing for two days, and why haven’t you reported this to me until now?!” Yao Fei roared in anger, striking the guard with a palm and sending him flying.
The surrounding guards froze like cicadas in winter.
“Get out and find out what exactly happened!” Yao Fei bellowed.
“Yes, Young Master!”
The guards scrambled to retreat.
Yao Fei’s eyes gleamed coldly: “Huang Xiaolong!”
Meanwhile, within the South Mountain Mansion, Huang Xiaolong stood in the courtyard, his Inner Strength circulating within his body, causing his bones to slowly shrink, making him about half his height, giving him the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old child at just about one meter tall.
After shrinking to one meter, Huang Xiaolong’s bones made cracking sounds as he slowly grew taller, returning to his previous height of over one meter eighty.
This was the Bone Shrinking Technique.
Previously, when his Inner Strength had not broken through to the Innate level, this Bone Shrinking Technique wasn’t of much use.
Now that his Inner Strength had achieved the Innate breakthrough, Huang Xiaolong could fully control the shrinking and stretching of his bones.
In the future, Huang Xiaolong could change his face and body shape at will, which would make his actions much more convenient.
This was something Fighting Energy couldn’t achieve, even for a Holy Domain Expert or even a Divine Domain Expert.
A night passed.
As dawn broke, Huang Xiaolong stopped practicing the Bone Shrinking Technique and left the South Mountain Mansion.
But just as he stepped out the front gate, his figure stiffened, stopping in disbelief as he stared across the street.
There, stood a graceful figure.
Li Lu!
It was Li Lu, who had been taken away by that beautiful woman from the Divine Hall!
Li Lu was dressed in a white dress, her beautiful eyes fixed on Huang Xiaolong, with her eyes rimmed red.
Compared to three years ago, her pretty face had lost some of its mischievousness and playfulness, gaining in allure and delicate beauty, her every smile and frown enchantingly captivating.
Li Lu had also grown taller than three years ago, appearing even more graceful and poised.
Huang Xiaolong rubbed his eyes, afraid he was hallucinating.
