Chapter 2273 - 2265: Battle Set for Tomorrow

Huang Xiaolong, after returning to the Holy Sect Headquarters, didn’t go straight back to Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, but instead went to the Task Hall to submit the task scroll.

When he arrived at the Task Hall, it was the Hall Master Zheng Xu who personally received Huang Xiaolong.

Zheng Xu saw Huang Xiaolong return more than a month early and asked with a smile, "Huang Xiaolong, His Highness the Holy Son returns so quickly, it seems the task has been successfully completed?"

Although Zheng Xu’s face bore a smile, the underlying mockery in that smile was clear to Huang Xiaolong; Zheng Xu was undoubtedly mocking him, suggesting he knew the task was hopeless and that’s why he returned so early.

Huang Xiaolong replied calmly, "Thanks to the Hall Master Zheng Xu, the task has been completed, and I’ve come to submit the task scroll." With that, he took out the heads of the three Red Demons and tossed them to the floor.

Zheng Xu stared dumbfounded at the heads of the three Red Demons, then with a swift motion of his hands, gathered the heads together to carefully verify them against the aura recorded in the task library.

Verification confirmed — it was undoubtedly the aura of the three Red Demons!

Verification a second time — still the aura of the three Red Demons!

Huang Xiaolong retrieved the task scroll and threw it to Zheng Xu: "Hall Master Zheng Xu, is the verification correct? If so, please mark the task scroll with your blood and signature!"

Only when Zheng Xu signed the task scroll with a blood mark would it signify Huang Xiaolong had completed the new trial task.

Zheng Xu was holding the task scroll, momentarily stunned; he hadn’t really thought he would have to mark it with blood for Huang Xiaolong.

"What’s wrong? Hall Master Zheng Xu, is there something wrong with the aura of the three Red Demons?" Huang Xiaolong asked upon seeing Zheng Xu’s daze, secretly smirking.

Zheng Xu snapped back to reality, forced a smile: "No, no, the aura of the three Red Demons is correct. Congratulations to His Highness the Holy Son Huang Xiaolong on completing the trial task!" Then he marked Huang Xiaolong’s task scroll with blood and filed it away in the task library.

At the same time, Zheng Xu gave Huang Xiaolong a certificate of passing the new trial task assessment.

As Huang Xiaolong left the Task Hall, he said to Zheng Xu, "To celebrate completing this new trial task, I’m hosting a banquet at my Ten Thousand Dragon Peak. Hall Master Zheng Xu, please do come."

Zheng Xu’s face twitched, chuckling, "Well, I’m in charge of the Task Hall; the tasks are numerous and busy, so I won’t be able to attend. I ask for your understanding, Your Highness the Holy Son Huang Xiaolong."

Huang Xiaolong nodded, "That’s understandable, but even though the Task Hall is busy, Hall Master Zheng Xu should still take care of his health and not overwork himself."

Zheng Xu’s smile was stiff, "Certainly, certainly."

Watching Huang Xiaolong’s departing figure, Zheng Xu’s face turned somber. He then turned and went to Elder Guo Qirong’s Cultivation Cave Mansion to report Huang Xiaolong’s completion of the new trial task.

"What? Completed? So quickly?!" Elder Guo Qirong was astonished.

Xu Jun, Li Yuhui, and Gong Chen also looked on in great surprise.

"Could this kid have hired someone else to do it?" Gong Chen’s brows furrowed.

Task Hall Master Zheng Xu deliberated, "Then I will have the disciples in the Vast Sea investigate whether the kid had any external assistance."

Xu Jun sneered, "Whether he completed it himself or had someone else do it, it’s irrelevant now. Anyway, in the Holy Platform battle, he’s doomed. He killed Jiang Tian’s nephew, and now Jiang Tian wants nothing more than to tear him apart! I reckon Jiang Tian and the Holy Alliance Saint Heirs are already waiting for him on his Ten Thousand Dragon Peak!"

...

Huang Xiaolong left the Task Hall, and soon, Ten Thousand Dragon Peak was within sight.

Just by looking at Ten Thousand Dragon Peak in the distance, Huang Xiaolong felt a sense of comfort.

If he had a home in the Holy World, then this Ten Thousand Dragon Peak was his home in the Holy World.

However, suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s expression changed, and he flew off from the Treasure Golden Pig, heading straight toward Ten Thousand Dragon Peak.

Arriving above Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, Huang Xiaolong stopped, seeing the ruin that had become of Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, which he spent several months constructing!

The palace on the summit had been completely destroyed, clearly shattered into countless fragments by a single powerful punch!

The myriad Spiritual Medicines and Divine Trees covering the mountain were burnt to ash by Divine Fire!

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned cold instantly.

At that moment, a group of people flew in from afar; they were Jiang Tian, Huang Zhouping, a host of Holy Alliance Saint Heirs, and their many subordinates.

"You did this!" Huang Xiaolong’s eyes fell on Jiang Tian; although he had never met Jiang Tian, he knew this young man in the Black Gold Battle Robe was Jiang Tian!

Jiang Tian laughed heartily at this: "Huang Xiaolong, you’re mistaken. Do you think someone of my status would personally do such frivolous and lowly things?"

Destroying a Saint Heir’s cave mansion palace would count as a punishable offense, so Jiang Tian naturally wouldn’t admit it.

Besides, it wasn’t personally his doing.

As he claimed, someone of his status wouldn’t need to bother doing such trivial, lowly things.

Of course, although he didn’t do it himself, it was indeed done secretly by disciples of the Holy Alliance.

"Where are my people?" Huang Xiaolong saw Jiang Tian deny, gripping his murderous intent, coldly asked.

Jiang Tian chuckled mischievously, "Your people? Oh, you mean that maid? Well, during the battle on the Holy Platform three days later, we will bring your maid to watch. If you can defeat Junior Brother Huang Zhouping, then we will hand her back to you. But three days later, you’ll die on the Holy Platform. At this moment, you’re still concerned about a maid’s life and death? I advise you to worry about how you’ll die on the Holy Platform!"

Saying this, Jiang Tian seemed to recall something, adding, "Oh yes, your Guardian Mountain Divine Beasts, because they were running wild, have been killed by Law Enforcement Hall disciples. Their meat should now be cooked, served as a dish for Law Enforcement Hall disciples’ banquet!"

Upon hearing the Six-eyed Ice Lion and Titan Giant Beast were killed, cooked, and served as dish to the Law Enforcement Hall disciples, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes filled with a killing intent that was chillingly fierce, "Jiang Tian, I will make you regret everything you have done today, very soon!"

Jiang Tian sensed Huang Xiaolong’s killing intent, sneered, "Huang Xiaolong, you killed my nephew, this is only the beginning. Three days later at the Holy Platform battle, I will make you truly regret, let you understand the feeling of soul-crushing agony!"

Then Huang Zhouping stepped forward, opened his mouth, "Huang Xiaolong, according to the battle challenge then, once you finished the new trial task, it’s our Holy Platform battle. Now you’ve returned, so in three days, see you at the Holy Platform!"

"No need for three days, tomorrow!" Huang Xiaolong said coldly.

Tomorrow?

Huang Zhouping and the others were taken aback.

Jiang Tian’s smile widened, "Since you want to die two days early, we’ll grant your wish." He nodded to signal Huang Zhouping.

"Alright, then tomorrow!" Huang Zhouping smiled at Huang Xiaolong: "Huang Xiaolong, after killing you tomorrow, I’ll enjoy your maid’s virgin blood to my heart’s content! Too bad, by then you won’t be alive to see that!"
