Chapter 241 - 241 241 Under Fierce Attack
241: Chapter 241: Under Fierce Attack 241: Chapter 241: Under Fierce Attack When Huang Xiaolong arrived, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were engaged in a fierce battle with four others in the air.
The one fighting Zhang Fu was none other than Li Lu’s master, Li Molin, while Zhao Shu was clashing with Yao Family Ancestor Yao Shan and two others, who were also from the Divine Hall and dressed in the robes of Divine Hall Elders.
However, Yao Fei was nowhere to be seen.
On the ground, many Guo Family Disciples from the wedding procession lay in pools of blood, while Guo Tai was protecting Huang Min at a corner of the street, surrounded by the wedding procession.
Huang Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that his sister and Guo Tai were unharmed.
“Big brother!” Huang Min called out to Huang Xiaolong as she and Guo Tai hurried over to his side.
“Are you both alright?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“We’re fine,” the two shook their heads.
Only then did Huang Xiaolong truly set his mind at ease.
At that moment, several sounds of people breaking through the air approached, and everyone looked to see Emperor Duanren and Guo Family Ancestor Guo Chen flying rapidly towards them.
“Let’s go!” Seeing Emperor Duanren and Guo Family Ancestor Guo Chen arriving, Li Molin suddenly struck Zhang Fu with a palm and shouted.
Zhang Fu countered with a palm strike of his own.
With a massive booming sound, Li Molin’s figure flashed and disappeared into the void.
Yao Family Ancestor Yao Shan and the other two who were battling Zhao Shu also suddenly repelled him with a palm strike and escaped into the sky.
Just as Li Molin and the others left, Emperor Duanren and Guo Family Ancestor Guo Chen arrived.
Upon arriving and seeing the scene, their expressions changed, especially Guo Chen’s, which turned exceedingly grim.
“The Yao Family is going too far!” Guo Chen ground his teeth and said, his eyes flashing coldly.
Today was the Guo Family’s grand wedding, and yet Yao Family Ancestor Yao Shan blatantly disregarded his status, with several from the Holy Domain attacking Guo Tai and the others, which infuriated Guo Chen to the extreme.
After Emperor Duanren and Guo Family Ancestor Guo Chen arrived, Duan Wuheng and other Guo Family experts also rushed over.
However, since the auspicious time for the wedding could not be delayed, after Guo Chen arrived, he instructed the Guo Family experts to deal with the situation.
Then, after inquiring about Huang Xiaolong’s opinion, he allowed Guo Tai to lead the Guo Family’s wedding procession to continue escorting Huang Min back to the Guo Mansion.
“Young Master, regarding the Yao Family Ancestor and the others, what do you think, should we…?” Zhao Shu came forward and asked Huang Xiaolong after Guo Tai’s wedding procession had departed.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head, “No need to pursue.” Even though Yao Family Ancestor Yao Shan was only at the Holy Domain Third Stage Late Stage Peak, with Li Molin and other Divine Hall experts present, pursuing and killing them would be extremely difficult.
“Duan Ren,” Huang Xiaolong turned and addressed Emperor Duanren, “I must trouble you to order a city-wide lockdown and search to see if there are any other Divine Hall and Guo Family disciples.”
Emperor Duanren hurriedly replied with courtesy, “Young Master Huang, what are you saying?
There’s no trouble at all; this is what we should do.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
Afterward, Guo Family Ancestor Guo Chen also sent Guo Family experts to search throughout the city and strengthen the defenses.
A little more than an hour later, the Guo Family’s wedding procession had returned with Huang Min to the Guo Mansion without further incident.
Only after the Guo Family’s wedding procession had returned did Huang Xiaolong go to the Guo Mansion with the members of the Huang Family.
“Long’er, should we perhaps try to make peace with the Yao Family?” Su Yan said worriedly on the way over; she too had heard about the Yao Family Ancestor Yao Shan and the Divine Hall experts intercepting the Guo Family’s wedding procession.
Huang Xiaolong turned and saw the worried look on his mother’s face.
He shook his head and said, “Mother, even if we were to propose peace, the Yao Family would not agree.”
Setting aside the grudge between Huang Xiaolong and the Heartless Young Master Yao Fei, just the fact that Huang Xiaolong had annihilated the thousand-year-old Yao Family headquarters, Yao Mansion, meant that they could never reconcile with the Yao Family.
Moreover, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t possibly negotiate peace with the Yao Family.
Upon hearing these words, Su Yan sighed inwardly, knowing all too well that reaching an accord with the Yao Family was impossible.
“It’s just the Divine Hall,” Su Yan hesitated to say.
Mentioning the Divine Hall also made Huang Peng’s face fill with worry.
Truth be told, the Yao Family wasn’t the real threat, but the Divine Hall was something entirely different.
Huang Peng and Su Yan had both gathered some understanding of what the Divine Hall was from discussions with Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Yu Ming, Fei Hou, and others.
An existence so terrifying that even the Broken Blade Empire had to tread carefully around it!
“Mother, Father, don’t worry.
One day, I will destroy the Divine Hall with my own hands!” Huang Xiaolong spoke slowly.
That day would not be far off!
Hearing this, Huang Peng and Su Yan took it as their son’s way of comforting them and said no more.
An hour later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at the Guo Mansion with Huang Peng, Su Yan, and Huang Xiaohai, among others.
The arrival of Huang Xiaolong and his party was greeted by Guo Family Ancestor Guo Chen, Guo Shiwen, Guo Shiyuan, and Guo Tai, who were already waiting personally at the mansion’s main gate.
Under the reception of Guo Chen and others, Huang Xiaolong and his group were led to the Main Hall of the Guo Mansion where they then took their seats according to rank and status.
Guo Chen offered Huang Xiaolong the seat of honor, but after considering, he let his parents Huang Peng and Su Yan sit in the middle of the seat of honor, and then sat down next to his parents.
Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Yu Ming, and others were seated on both sides.
“Emperor Duanren has arrived!” Not long after Huang Xiaolong and the others sat down, the voice of Guo Family’s butler Zhang Yue rang from outside.
Emperor Duanren himself had come!
Huang Xiaolong and others exchanged glances before standing up to greet him.
After all, today was his sister’s wedding day, and he was, in a sense, the co-host.
Emperor Duanren had personally come to offer his congratulations, and naturally, Huang Xiaolong had to greet him.
“Congratulations, congratulations!” Just as Huang Xiaolong and the others reached the mansion’s entrance, they saw Emperor Duanren walk in with a beaming smile and a fist clasped in a congratulatory gesture.
Huang Xiaolong, along with Guo Chen and others, all responded with smiles and returned the gesture.
Duan Wuheng followed behind Emperor Duanren, showing the utmost respect and congratulating Huang Xiaolong and Guo Chen, the Guo Family Ancestor.
Aside from Duan Wuheng, a noble and beautiful woman followed behind Duan Ren, and Huang Xiaolong guessed that this elegant woman must be Duan Wuheng’s mother.
Indeed, Emperor Duanren introduced the beautiful woman to Huang Xiaolong and the others, confirming her identity as Duan Wuheng’s mother.
With the arrival of Emperor Duanren, all the nobles and family heads who had come to offer their congratulations stood up to greet him, turning the scene into a bustling and joyous atmosphere filled with laughter.
Everyone settled back into the hall and took their seats once more.
However, Huang Xiaolong hadn’t lowered his guard, instructing Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Yu Ming, and others to stay alert for any sudden developments.
The Yao Family Ancestors might have failed in their ambush during the welcoming procession, but Huang Xiaolong had a hunch that the Yao Family wouldn’t give up and retreat just like that.
Moreover, the enigmatic Heartless Young Master Yao Fei had yet to make an appearance.
As the hall was filled with joyful conversation and laughter, a Huang Family guard rushed in and came up to Huang Xiaolong, saying, “Young Master, we’ve just received news that more than a dozen branches of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce have been violently attacked.”
More than a dozen branches of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce had been violently attacked!
The hall instantly fell silent.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
Needless to say, the fierce attacks on the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce branches were undoubtedly the work of the Yao Family and the Divine Hall.
