Chapter 2272 - 2264: This Useless Fool Actually Dares to Defy Him!

The Saint Son Token is a special token unique to the Holy Sect Saint Heir!

So the young man before us is?!

"Upon seeing the Saint Son Token, why have you not knelt?!" Huang Xiaolong said coldly.

The bandits were terrified, their faces turned pale, and they all fell to their knees.

It turned out that the one they attempted to assassinate was not an ordinary disciple of the Holy Sect, but the illustrious Saint Heir of the Holy Sect!

Following the bandits, the disciples of the Jiang Family also hurriedly knelt down.

According to the Holy Sect’s rules, even the Family Head of the Jiang Family must perform the ritual of kneeling upon seeing the Saint Heir, even if the Jiang Family is the foremost family in the Holy Land.

"By the rules of the Holy Sect, you intended to assassinate a Saint Heir. What do you think your punishment should be?" Huang Xiaolong said with cold disdain.

A capital crime!

Worse than death!

Some bandits, thinking of their possible fate, shivered more below than above.

The Jiang Family disciples also looked panicked.

Huang Xiaolong said to the eight Supreme Realm bandits, "The Jiang Family disciples have offended the Saint Heir of the Holy Sect, their guilt warrants execution. Go now and kill all the Jiang Family disciples, and I will grant you pardon from death!"

Although Huang Xiaolong had no real power, as the Saint Heir of the Holy Sect, he could issue certain orders to the multitudes of strong people in the Holy Land.

The kneeling Jiang Family disciples turned ashen-faced.

The eight Supreme Realm bandits hesitated for a moment, but after weighing their options, stood up and walked towards the Jiang Family disciples.

Executing these Jiang Family disciples might provoke retaliation from the Jiang Family later, but it was better than being executed by Huang Xiaolong now. They had seen Huang Xiaolong’s combat power earlier; killing a Supreme First Stage Middle Stage Jiang Heyu was as easy as squashing a cockroach.

"How dare you!" The Jiang Family disciples’ faces changed as they saw the eight Supreme Realm bandits approach. Among them, Jiang Heyu was the strongest, though a few other Jiang Family disciples had Supreme Realm, they were only at the Supreme First Stage Early Stage and Early Stage Peak.

"You all join in as well!" Huang Xiaolong ordered the other hundreds of bandits, "Kill the Jiang Family disciples, and I’ll grant you pardon from death!"

Hundreds of bandits rushed forward at the words.

Soon, screams echoed one after another.

With a vast difference in strength and numbers, the remaining twenty-plus Jiang Family disciples were no match for the several hundred bandits and were quickly slaughtered. Having already offended the Jiang Family, these bandits went all out, relentlessly attacking, leaving the twenty-plus Jiang Family disciples dead in awful conditions.

Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong planted the Primordial Purple Worm within the divine souls of the eight Supreme Realm bandits and the leaders of the bandits, gaining full control over them.

"You can take these items and distribute them among yourselves." After controlling the bandits, Huang Xiaolong extracted some Holy Currency, Spiritual Jade, and Spirit Pills from the space divine artifacts of Jiang Heyu and others, and distributed them to the bandits.

The bandits were naturally moved to tears with gratitude.

Upon arriving at the Vast Sea, Huang Xiaolong already had plans to establish and grow his influence, and unify the forces of the entire Vast Sea.

Even the tens of billions of troops and thousands of Supreme Strong People from the Central Sacred Dynasty couldn’t quell the forces here, showing the power the Vast Sea concealed. If he could integrate all the forces in the Vast Sea, it would be a tremendous aid for him in controlling the Holy Sect in the future.

Currently, he couldn’t convert Spirit Stones. The Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Stone he had would decrease one by one, but if he could unify the Vast Sea, all its forces could continuously provide him with Spirit Stones, Holy Currency, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixirs.

The reason Jiang Tian was so wealthy, surpassing even the Holy Sect elders, was because he had the support of the Jiang Family.

The entire Vast Sea forces are definitely larger than the Jiang Family’s forces.

Controlling these bandits is the first step for Huang Xiaolong to establish his influence in the Vast Sea.

However, these several hundred bandits are just a grain in the Vast Sea, hardly even a grain, but Huang Xiaolong is not in a hurry. He is confident that he can unify the Vast Sea within a few hundred years when the Central Sacred Dynasty and the Jiang Family can’t, but he can!

After instructing the bandits on all matters, Huang Xiaolong rode away from Spirit Fire Island on the Treasure Gold, heading back to Holy Sect Headquarters.

There is no such thing as a secret under the sky. Not long after Huang Xiaolong left Spirit Fire Island, the news of the Jiang Family disciples being killed on Spirit Fire Island spread quickly, causing a stir on Spirit Fire Island.

The Jiang Family was furious.

"More than twenty Jiang Family disciples, all killed! According to reports, they were slain by a young man at the Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage who spent five billion on the Nine Dragon Vine Root at the True Treasure Pavilion. The Jiang Family disciples pursued him intending to rob, but instead were killed by the other party!"

"That’s not all, among the dead Jiang Family disciples, one named Jiang Heyu is the nephew of Holy Son Jiang Tian! This matter is simply earth-shattering! Who is this young man, to kill Jiang Family disciples is one thing, but to dare kill even the nephew of Saint Son Jiang Tian!"

Soon, the matter spread far and wide, shaking the Vast Sea and the Central Sacred Dynasty.

Under full investigation by the Vast Sea, the Central Sacred Dynasty, and the Jiang Family, the truth and details of the incident were soon uncovered.

Within the Holy Alliance Palace of the Holy Sect, Jiang Tian’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, his voice nearly roaring from his throat: "Huang Xiaolong, you bastard! How dare you, how dare you kill my nephew, how dare you kill Heyu!"

He and his older brother depended on each other since childhood, their brotherly bond was deep. In the Jiang Family, there weren’t many disciples from their lineage. Among his older brother’s sons, although Jiang Heyu’s talent wasn’t particularly great, his nature was very similar to Jiang Tian, much to his liking, but now he had been killed by the wasteful Saint Son Huang Xiaolong in Jiang Tian’s eyes!

Killed!

Moreover, Jiang Heyu had already revealed his identity to Huang Xiaolong, yet the waste dared to say that Jiang Tian being his third uncle, fourth uncle, or even big uncle made no difference!

This waste dared to treat him with contempt!

"Huang Xiaolong, I want you dead!" Jiang Tian stood up, his voice like it came from Nine Netherworld Hell.

Huang Zhouping, Wu Shi, Zheng Yongjia, and other Saints were all shaking like leaves in the cold.

A while later, Zheng Yongjia said: "Senior Brother Jiang Tian, Huang Xiaolong, that waste is returning now, should we have someone guard each avenue and give that kid...?" He gestured with a killing motion.

Jiang Tian’s eyes were cold: "Simply killing him would be too easy for him, and if he dies, Elder Li Wen would surely suspect us first. As such, when he returns, you will take him to the Holy Platform, and there, use every method to torment him, make him wish for death over life!"

Of course, this instruction seemed to have been given many times.

Huang Zhouping dared not utter any displeasure and promptly stood with respectful assurance: "Please, rest assured, Senior Brother Jiang Tian!"

Amid Jiang Tian, Huang Zhouping, and others’ anticipation, Huang Xiaolong finally returned to Holy Sect Headquarters two months later.
