Chapter 427 - 427 427 Congratulations Young Sect Master
427: Chapter 427 Congratulations, Young Sect Master 427: Chapter 427 Congratulations, Young Sect Master The maid respectfully accepted the order and then turned to leave, to summon Steward Tan An.
Peng Zhuang sat in the great hall, calmly awaiting.
A moment later, the maid returned.
“Where is Tan An?” Peng Zhuang, seeing the maid return alone, asked with inescapable curiosity.
The maid respectfully replied, “Reporting to City Lord, Steward Tan An is not here; his whereabouts are unknown.”
Peng Zhuang’s brow furrowed.
Not here?
Impossible.
Tan An would surely report to him if he were to leave the City Lord Mansion.
The more Peng Zhuang thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss and took out his communication jade talisman.
However, after sending a message through the jade talisman, a long time passed with no response from Tan An.
Peng Zhuang had a bad premonition and stood up to go to the manor where Tan An resided.
“Did Steward Tan An tell any of you where he was going last night?” Upon reaching Tan An’s manor, Peng Zhuang asked the maid by Tan An’s side.
The maid beside Tan An shook her head, “Reporting to City Lord, no, he didn’t.
Oh yes, Lord Li Feng came to see Steward last night.”
“Li Feng,” Peng Zhuang muttered, startled.
“Yes, afterwards they drank wine in the backyard, and it seemed they never left,” the maid replied respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Peng Zhuang hurried to the backyard, and as he arrived, he saw the stone pavilion collapsed, all the trees around uprooted.
The sight of the backyard’s disarray caused Peng Zhuang’s heart to sink.
Clearly, only a fierce battle could have left the backyard in such a state.
Yet, how could it be that nobody in the City Lord Mansion felt the fluctuations last night?!
And not a single sound was heard?!
Taking out the jade talisman again, Peng Zhuang tried to contact Li Feng, but just as expected, there was no response from him either.
Peng Zhuang’s face grew as somber as still water.
Even a pig-headed beast would know using its rear end that something had happened to Tan An and Li Feng!
“Send orders to seal off the entire city.
Report any suspicious persons immediately!” Peng Zhuang roared at the guard beside him.
The guard, having never seen the City Lord in such a rage, went pale with fear and hurriedly responded with reverence.
At this moment, Huang Xiaolong was thousands of miles away from Baozhou City, flying through the air at breakneck speed, his form swiftly streaking through the sky like a ray of light without making a sound.
Concerned for Shi Xiaofei’s safety, Huang Xiaolong did not care about alarming others and directly flew over city after city.
Huang Xiaolong’s actions naturally attracted the attention of some Holy Domain experts in those cities, some of whom even thought to intercept him.
However, upon seeing Huang Xiaolong’s speed, they were frightened off, keeping their distance.
Huang Xiaolong continued to approach the Qiankun Divine Sect Headquarters at great speed.
The scope of the Qiankun Divine Sect’s control was vast, with over two hundred states under their influence, an area about ten times the size of the current Asura Sect.
And since the Qiankun Divine Sect Headquarters was located in the central area of its territory, Huang Xiaolong would have to cross eleven states to reach it from Baozhou.
Huang Xiaolong flew swiftly, his heart burning with urgency.
It was for him that Shi Xiaofei had come to the Star Cloud Continent.
If anything indeed happened to her, Huang Xiaolong felt he would carry the guilt for the rest of his life.
How would he face his senior brother Shi Fantian then?
“Xie Hui!” Cold gleams flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes as his intent to kill grew more intense.
If Shi Xiaofei had encountered misfortune this time, he was prepared to wreak a slaughter!
To make the rivers of the Qiankun Divine Sect Headquarters run with blood!
Since the Qiankun Divine Sect Leader Xie Chao was not present, he no longer had any concerns to hold him back.
“Xie Chao, I hope your son hasn’t committed any grave mistakes, otherwise!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes were fierce with coldness.
If Shi Xiaofei had really suffered and had her chastity destroyed by Xie Chao, Huang Xiaolong wouldn’t hesitate to let Xie Chao and all the Divine Hall elders become nourishment for the Poison Corpse Beetles!
After all, in thirteen years when the martial arts competition arrives, Huang Xiaolong was bound to fight Xie Chao, and Xie Chao would certainly not let him go, so Huang Xiaolong had nothing to worry about now.
Then days later, Huang Xiaolong came down to rest on a barren mountain.
After landing, he immediately consumed a Dragon God Pill and activated his Innate Soul Skill for Instant Recovery.
The depleted Holy Fighting Energy quickly replenished, and he continued on his journey.
In those ten days, Huang Xiaolong had not stopped for a moment, even traveling rapidly through the void at night.
When he left Baozhou City Lord Mansion, Xie Hui had already taken Shi Xiaofei back to the Qiankun Divine Sect Headquarters thirteen days prior.
According to Huang Xiaolong’s estimate, if he pushed his speed to the limit, he ought to just catch up with Xie Hui and others upon their return to the Qiankun Divine Sect Headquarters.
Another two days passed.
Huang Xiaolong stopped above a chain of islands in a sea region.
“This is the Eternal Clear Sea,” Huang Xiaolong took out the map of the Star Cloud Continent, looked at it for a while, and muttered to himself, “Just past this is the Spirit Martial Prefecture.”
And the Qiankun Divine Sect Headquarters was located in the Spirit Martial Prefecture.
Looking up at the sky, Huang Xiaolong saw that the moon had risen high, scattering its light across the land in a blanket of white, covering all ugliness and sin under its glow.
“I should be able to arrive by tomorrow morning,” Huang Xiaolong continued to murmur to himself.
Tomorrow!
With a flash, Huang Xiaolong vanished from the spot.
The Spirit Martial Prefecture is not only the largest and the most prosperous region in the Star Cloud Continent, but it is also the most renowned.
It is famous because the number one super force on the Star Cloud Continent, the Qiankun Divine Sect Headquarters, is located within it.
In the eastern part of the Spirit Martial Prefecture, there is a vast plain known as the Holy Land Plain.
There is an ancient legend concerning the Holy Land Plain, that during Ancient Times, a Heavenly God descended upon this plain.
Seeing two nations waging war, leaving streams of blood, the Heavenly God intervened to halt the slaughter.
Since then, no power dared to perpetrate killing on this plain.
This plain was subsequently referred to by later generations as the Holy Land Plain, considered sacred not only to the Human Clan but also to the Beast and Demon Clans.
The main temple of the Qiankun Divine Sect was established on this Holy Land Plain, and towering over the plain was a huge city, which is Qiankun City.
At this moment, within Qiankun City, people bustled about, the city was ablaze with lights, and activity thrived.
Inside the main hall of the Qiankun City Lord Mansion, laughter filled the air,
Seated above in the hall was a young man dressed in a platinum Dragon Robe, with a faint mysterious talisman imprinted between his eyebrows, somewhat similar to the Dragon Talisman formed by the Dragon Ball on Huang Xiaolong’s forehead.
This young man was none other than Xie Hui, the Young Sect Master of the Qiankun Divine Sect.
Unlike other Sects’ Family Heads or the Great Emperors of Empires, the Qiankun Divine Sect Leader Xie Chao had only one son, Xie Hui!
No one knew what Xie Hui’s Martial Soul was, nor his true strength, because all those who did were dead, slain by his sword!
Xie Hui had never been defeated.
Therefore, on the Star Cloud Continent, he had a particularly resounding title, Undefeated War God.
Both sides of the hall were filled with the Qiankun Divine Sect’s formidable experts.
“Congratulations to the Young Sect Master, for your wedding tomorrow,” A white-haired elder, sitting to Xie Hui’s right, raised his cup and smiled, “Only such a beauty as Shi Xiaofei is worthy of the Young Sect Master!”
This white-haired elder was none other than Chen Xiaofeng, one of the Four Guardians of the Qiankun Divine Sect.
“Indeed, Shi Xiaofei is fortunate to marry the Young Sect Master, a blessing gained from her previous life’s cultivation.
For the Young Sect Master to favor her is her greatest luck,” another protector said, laughing.
Everyone laughed heartily.
