Invincible Over the World
Chapter 729 - 729 726 Entering Vermilion Bird Academy

729: Chapter 726 Entering Vermilion Bird Academy 729: Chapter 726 Entering Vermilion Bird Academy Huang Xiaolong did not want to attract attention, so he only exchanged for four hundred million, but it still caught the attention of the powerful figures in the hall of the Vermilion Bird Star River.

“I’ll take these one thousand Holy-grade top-level Spirit Stones!” Just as the shop assistant looked at Huang Xiaolong in shock, taking out one thousand Holy-grade top-level Spirit Stones, an abrupt voice sounded.

Huang Xiaolong and the others looked over, only to see a black-robed youth walking over from the crowd.

What caught Huang Xiaolong’s attention was the Fire Phoenix pattern on the young man’s chest.

Someone from the Vermilion Bird Academy!

And only elite disciples of the Vermilion Bird Academy wore black robes.

No one noticed the glint that flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes when he saw the black-robed youth.

After Zeng Huai’an from the Vermilion Bird Academy came over, he didn’t even glance at the shop assistant but said to Huang Xiaolong, “I’ll give you three hundred thousand for each of these one thousand Holy-grade top-level Spirit Stones, which adds up to three hundred million.” His tone was condescending, not a negotiation but a command, as if offering Huang Xiaolong three hundred thousand per stone was already showing him great face.

Zeng Huai’an finished speaking and, without waiting for Huang Xiaolong’s response, reached out to take the one thousand Holy-grade top-level Spirit Stones.

As for the three hundred million he mentioned, he did not take it out.

It seemed he intended to take without giving anything in return?

However, just as Zeng Huai’an was about to take the one thousand Holy-grade top-level Spirit Stones, suddenly, the pile of stones flashed and was collected by Huang Xiaolong into the Asura Ring.

Zeng Huai’an froze for a moment.

“Sorry.” Huang Xiaolong’s face was indifferent, “These one thousand Holy-grade top-level Spirit Stones are for exchange with this shop only.”

Upon hearing this, Zeng Huai’an didn’t get angry; instead, he laughed, “Kid, it seems you don’t know who I am, Zeng Huai’an.

Which shop in Vermilion Bird City would dare to demand something I want?

Even if you were to exchange now with this shop, would they dare to proceed?” With that, he turned to the shop assistant, “Go call your manager out!”

Soon, a middle-aged man who appeared to be a manager came out, approached Zeng Huai’an with trepidation, and assured him that he would not proceed with the exchange with Huang Xiaolong.

Looking at the frightened manager, Zeng Huai’an nodded with satisfaction and then mocked Huang Xiaolong, “What now?

Are you still going to exchange with this shop?

Heh heh, why don’t you try the other shops in Vermilion Bird City?”

Huang Xiaolong’s expression remained indifferent, “If no shop in Vermilion Bird City dares to make the exchange, I’ll go to other cities.”

Zeng Huai’an?

Although Huang Xiaolong was unclear about Zeng Huai’an’s specific identity, he guessed some of it.

The Zeng Family was a giant of the Vermilion Bird Star River, its power looming close to that of the Vermilion Bird Academy.

And Zeng Huai’an must be more than just an ordinary elite disciple of the Vermilion Bird Academy, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare be so brazen in Vermilion Bird City.

When Zeng Huai’an heard Huang Xiaolong say he would go to other cities to make the exchange, his eyes narrowed; it was the first time in years someone had dared to defy his will.

“Kid, you better think carefully about the consequences of what you’re doing,” Zeng Huai’an scoffed coldly, “If you exchange with me, you can still make three hundred million.

But once you leave Vermilion Bird City, let alone three hundred million, you won’t get a single Vermilion Bird Coin, and you might not even have your life!” With that, Zeng Huai’an watched Huang Xiaolong with murderous intent in his eyes.

Huang Xiaolong paid no attention to him.

Then he left the shop and pretended to exchange at a few other shops in Vermilion Bird City.

After failing to make an exchange at those shops as well, Huang Xiaolong pretended to leave Vermilion Bird City with a face full of indignation and unwillingness, heading for another city.

After receiving a report from his subordinates, Zeng Huai’an sneered, “Well, kid, since that’s how it is, you can’t blame me.” After saying this, he left Vermilion Bird City and followed behind Huang Xiaolong.

Although Zeng Huai’an prided himself on his status, he didn’t dare to openly kill Huang Xiaolong within Vermilion Bird City.

But outside Vermilion Bird City, it would be different.

Soon, Zeng Huai’an saw Huang Xiaolong’s figure ahead of him.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong heading towards another city, State City, he sneered coldly, his figure flashed, and he blocked Huang Xiaolong’s path.

With his arms crossed and chest, Zeng Huai’an chuckled sinisterly, “Kid, I told you, once you’re out of Vermilion Bird City, forget about three billion, you won’t even get a single Vermilion Bird Coin, and who knows, you might even lose your life.

Now, do you want me to make a move, or will you hand over those one thousand Holy-grade top-level spiritual stones yourself?”

Huang Xiaolong looked at Zeng Huai’an and suddenly spoke with a teasing tone, “Your status in the Vermilion Bird Academy must be quite high, right?”

Zeng Huai’an was taken aback, not understanding why Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked about his status at the Vermilion Bird Academy.

“Indeed,” Zeng Huai’an didn’t give it much thought and said with pride, “Not only am I the grandson of an elder of the Zeng Family, but I am also the direct disciple of Wood, the Supreme Elder of the Vermilion Bird Academy.

My master Wood oversees the Vermilion Bird Academy’s Punishment Hall; even the Vermilion Bird Mansion Master has to be polite to my master.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded, “That’s good, now I can rest assured.”

This time, as he intended to infiltrate the Vermilion Bird Academy, after some consideration, he had decided to take on the identity of an elite disciple.

Because elite disciples, unlike elders and Supreme Elders, were less likely to attract attention.

Furthermore, elite disciples didn’t need to go on missions outside, allowing ample time to stay inside the Vermilion Bird Academy.

However, ordinary elite disciples couldn’t access the deeper parts of the Vermilion Bird Book Library.

To find information about the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, one must be able to enter the depths of the Vermilion Bird Book Library.

Therefore, an identity like Zeng Huai’an’s as an elite disciple, was just perfect.

Under Zeng Huai’an’s puzzled gaze, Huang Xiaolong moved his hands, and with a flash of light, strands of golden silk ropes enveloped the space around them, sealing off the outside world.

This was precisely the God Trapping Golden Silk Rope, an Ancient Divine Artifact that Huang Xiaolong had obtained after killing Li Qingming, a Supreme Elder of the Azure Dragon Academy.

Huang Xiaolong, at the Divine Domain Ninth Stage Late Stage Peak, released his full aura.

Zeng Huai’an looked at Huang Xiaolong with a face filled with terror, Huang Xiaolong was not in the Divine Domain Third Stage Late Stage?

“Who are you?

What do you want?” Zeng Huai’an tried to suppress the terror in his heart and shouted with a mix of ferocity and frailty.

Huang Xiaolong, not wanting to waste more words, made a grabbing gesture with one palm, capturing Zeng Huai’an in front of him, and then conducted a Soul Search on him.

After a while, the Soul Search concluded, and Huang Xiaolong extinguished his soul with a palm.

He then started to change his appearance and stature, eventually transforming into an exact replica of Zeng Huai’an.

After putting on the elite disciple’s robe, Huang Xiaolong retracted the God Trapping Golden Silk Rope and headed back to Vermilion Bird City.

Upon returning to Vermilion Bird City, everything seemed peaceful and unchanged.

However, Huang Xiaolong didn’t go exchange for Vermilion Bird Coins anymore.

Given Zeng Huai’an’s status as the grandson of a Zeng Family elder and the direct disciple of Wood, the Supreme Elder of the Vermilion Bird Academy, the Space Ring naturally contained a substantial amount of Vermilion Bird Coins.

After pretending to browse around Vermilion Bird City for a while, Huang Xiaolong finally arrived at the Vermilion Bird City Transmission Array, paid with Vermilion Bird Coins, and then teleported to the Vermilion Bird Academy.

“Is this the Vermilion Bird Academy?” Huang Xiaolong stepped out of the Vermilion Bird Academy’s transmission array and looked around.

In the plaza ahead, there stood a huge Fire Phoenix statue.

Huang Xiaolong flew up, relying on the memories in Zeng Huai’an’s mind, and made his way to the mountain peak cave that served as his dwelling.

As for the Vermilion Bird Book Library, he would visit it after a couple of days; there was no hurry, as this matter could not be rushed.

In the past, it took him almost twenty years to find the location of the Xuanwu Divine Fire after researching its information.

This time, it would probably take no less time.
