Chapter 732 - 732 729 Entering the Vermilion Bird Book Library

732: Chapter 729: Entering the Vermilion Bird Book Library 732: Chapter 729: Entering the Vermilion Bird Book Library Huang Xiaolong saw that Qi Qianqian not only didn’t leave, but also stared at him dumbfoundedly.

He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and pretended to speak fiercely, “Little Girl, if you don’t leave, I’ll strip off all your pants!”

Strip off all your pants!

This threat sent Qi Qianqian and the group of girls who had followed her into a panic; they all fled in complete disarray, running as fast as they could, disappearing in an instant.

Liu Yilong and his six minions arrived at Huang Xiaolong’s side, watching Qi Qianqian’s fleeing figure.

They couldn’t help but let out a lewd laugh, saying, “Boss, just letting Qi Qianqian go like this?

If it were me, I’d rape her before killing her.”

“Raping her before killing her is no fun.

If I were me, I’d kill her, then rape!” another minion smirked evilly.

Given Zeng Huai’an’s previous character, the minions he gathered were naturally of a similar ilk.

Huang Xiaolong, upon hearing this, slapped Liu Yilong on the head and said annoyed, “All of you, scram!”

Liu Yilong rubbed his head and said with a smile, “Boss, I was serious.

Why don’t we chase after them now, capture all of them, and bring them back?

Qi Qianqian will be yours, Boss, and the other girls can be for us.”

Huang Xiaolong glared and shouted, “If you don’t scram now, I’ll chop off your ‘below’ too!”

Liu Yilong and his six man flinched in fear, not daring to say anything more.

They bowed and said with a smile, “Boss, we’ll leave now.”

Huang Xiaolong paid them no attention.

Only then did Liu Yilong and his men fly off.

Thunder Fire Peak returned to its tranquil state.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the object Liang Guang had left on the ground, pointed his finger, and a streak of Immortal Yuan Fire turned it to ash, which scattered in the wind with a blow.

In a flash, Huang Xiaolong headed for the Vermilion Bird Book Library.

Given that Sole Peak was not close to the Li Huo Mountain Range, it took half a day for Huang Xiaolong to arrive at Sole Peak.

The Vermilion Bird Book Library was situated halfway up Sole Peak.

The entire mountain had been hollowed out, and the library was set up within the belly of the mountain.

When Huang Xiaolong landed in the plaza in front of the library, he occasionally saw Vermilion Bird Academy Disciples entering and exiting the library’s main door.

There were Inner Sect Disciples and elite disciples, and occasionally he even saw elders.

Outer Disciples were not allowed to enter the library; only Inner Sect Disciples and above were permitted.

As Huang Xiaolong approached the entrance of the Vermilion Bird Book Library, various Inner Sect and elite disciples who saw him made way, their faces filled with fear, and within that fear, resentment.

Huang Xiaolong noticed the expressions of these Inner Sect and elite disciples and couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself.

It seemed that Zeng Huai’an’s character had indeed been problematic, arousing such hatred from so many Inner Sect and elite disciples.

Huang Xiaolong disregarded the expressions of the people around him and walked through the library’s main door.

The entrance to the Vermilion Bird Book Library wasn’t particularly large—about ten or so meters wide and around ten meters high—but as soon as one stepped through the entrance, the scenery changed drastically.

Huang Xiaolong could see rows and rows of bookshelves extending miles away, with no end in sight.

Each row consisted of two huge bookshelves that lined either side, with three aisles in between and along the sides of the bookshelves, each aisle about thirty meters wide.

According to Zeng Huai’an’s memory, the Vermilion Bird Book Library had ten levels above ground and ten levels below.

And what Huang Xiaolong was seeing now was only the First Level above ground.

Even the books on just the First Level—forget about reading them—even if one were to count them one by one, it would probably take ten years?

Or perhaps even twenty!

Fortunately, Huang Xiaolong’s Divine Sense was extremely powerful.

Now, when reading books, naturally, he didn’t need to do it like ordinary people, picking them up one by one to read.

Huang Xiaolong arrived in front of the first row of bookshelves, unfolded his Divine Sense, and in an instant, it covered one giant bookshelf of the first row, the text of all the books above flooding into Huang Xiaolong’s mind like a tide.

Half an hour later, Huang Xiaolong walked away from this bookshelf and headed to the second bookshelf.

Every half hour, Huang Xiaolong would move to the next bookshelf.

After all, Huang Xiaolong was there to search for information, not to learn cultivation techniques or combat skills, which required slow and careful contemplation.

Some disciples passing by Huang Xiaolong’s side saw him standing in front of each bookshelf, appearing frozen in place, and couldn’t help but give him a curious second glance.

However, many of them recognized Zeng Huai’an.

So, although they found it odd, no one dared to approach and ask.

This saved Huang Xiaolong a lot of trouble; otherwise, if his divine sense was disturbed and interrupted, it would slow him down significantly.

A day quickly passed.

Evening came.

The Luminous Pearls embedded in the four walls of the Vermilion Bird Book Library emitted a soft white glow, illuminating every corner of the library.

In order to find the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire as quickly as possible, Huang Xiaolong decided not to leave that evening.

Instead, he continued to expand his divine sense, imprinting the contents of every bookcase into his mind.

Three days in a row.

Huang Xiaolong stayed on the first level of the Vermilion Bird Book Library without going anywhere else, repeating the same actions and moving to the next bookshelf every half-hour.

Huang Xiaolong’s strange behavior caught the attention and curiosity of some of the library’s management disciples.

It was not unusual for someone to stay in the library for three continuous days without leaving, but Huang Xiaolong was the only one who stood in front of the bookshelves and moved to the next one every half-hour.

A library management disciple reported the situation to the elder in charge of the first level.

The elder shook his head and said, “As long as that kid doesn’t cause any trouble or break the library rules, there’s no need to bother him.”

Although the elder told his subordinates not to worry about it, he still found it peculiar.

Zeng Huai’an, he knew the young man—arrogant, conceited, lecherous, a troublemaker.

He usually wouldn’t visit the library even once in a hundred years, but now he was staying well-behaved in the library for three days?

Feeling curious, the elder secretly observed Huang Xiaolong for a few days.

However, after seeing nothing amiss, he let the matter go and no longer paid attention to Huang Xiaolong.

Ten days flew by.

One day, just as Huang Xiaolong finished with one bookshelf and was about to move to the next, a middle-aged man dressed in a Vermilion Bird Academy Elder Robe approached him with a smile and said, “Junior Brother, so you’re here!”

Vermilion Bird Academy’s Supreme Elder Wood had three direct disciples; Zeng Huai’an was ranked the least among them, and this middle-aged man was He Jing, Zeng Huai’an’s second senior brother.

“Brother He, do you need something?” Huang Xiaolong asked politely.

Although He Jing was Zeng Huai’an’s second senior brother, he was different from Zeng Huai’an—honest and straightforward.

Hence, Huang Xiaolong’s demeanor was more courteous.

He Jing waved his hands and replied with a smile, “It’s not that I’m looking for Junior Brother; it’s that our Master wants to see you.

However, I went to your Thunder Fire Peak and couldn’t find you, then I heard from others that you came to the Vermilion Bird Book Library.”

Wood wanted to see him?

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered.

Was it because of Liang Guang, or because he had broken through to the Seventh Stage of the Divine Domain?

However, since Wood wanted to see him, Huang Xiaolong had no choice but to leave the Vermilion Bird Book Library temporarily and head to Wood’s cave residence with He Jing.

A day later, Huang Xiaolong and He Jing arrived at Wood’s Prison Kill Peak.

Wood was in charge of the Vermilion Bird Academy’s Punishment Hall.

He was known for his heavy killing aura, which was even reflected in the name of his peak and cave residence.

Upon entering the palace, Huang Xiaolong followed He Jing and met Wood, a thin elderly man with reddish hair, small green eyes, and extremely thick arms.

When Wood saw Huang Xiaolong, his small green eyes stared intensely at him.
