Chapter 2278 - 2270: Doesn’t That Mean?!

"And this, this evolution speed is just too terrifying!" Chen Shiming’s throat bobbed uncontrollably.

According to what they knew, those eight peerless experts whose Holy Body, Holy Veins, and Holy Form evolved simultaneously, although they could evolve all three at the same time and their talent in the end was frightening to the extreme, their evolution speed wasn’t fast.

Legend has it that the fastest evolving, most monstrously gifted of those peerless experts spent over a million years for his Enlightenment Saint Realm ranking to evolve from over four thousand all the way up to the top twenty!

But now, in less than a year, Huang Xiaolong’s Holy Body, Holy Veins, and Holy Form had evolved and his ranking had risen by more than a thousand places. At this rate, evolving into the top twenty absolutely won’t take over a million years, right?

Guo Qirong, Xu Jun, Yang Jingzhi and the others thought of the same thing, their hearts equally filled with shock.

Because right now in the Holy World there are all kinds of rumors saying that that fastest evolving, most astonishingly gifted peerless expert will sooner or later become the number one powerhouse in the Holy World!

Because his evolution speed is too fast; sooner or later he will surpass the other peerless experts.

But now, Huang Xiaolong’s evolution speed is even faster than that peerless expert’s, doesn’t that mean?!

Thinking of this, Li Wen, Chen Shiming and the others all felt as if their breathing was about to stop.

The more they thought about it, the more their entire bodies grew agitated to the point of collectively going into convulsions, shaking uncontrollably.

At this time, Huang Xiaolong walked out from within the Big Formation.

Li Wen, Chen Shiming and the others snapped out of their shock and crowded forward.

"Congratulations, Holy Son Huang Xiaolong!" Li Wen came to stand before Huang Xiaolong and actually bent at the waist, smiling as he said, "Congratulations, Holy Son Huang Xiaolong!"

Li Wen, as the head elder, held extremely high seniority. When Wan Zhuoyuan was still alive, he would only bow his waist to Wan Zhuoyuan without kneeling, yet now he was bowing to Huang Xiaolong!

But now, Huang Xiaolong was only a Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage, whereas Wan Zhuoyuan had been a Saint Realm expert!

However, seeing this scene, Chen Shiming, Guo Qirong and the others did not feel it strange; on the contrary, they felt it entirely natural.

"Congratulations on your second successful test, Holy Son Huang Xiaolong!" Chen Shiming, Guo Qirong, Xu Jun and the others also bent at the waist in unison toward Huang Xiaolong, repeatedly offering their congratulations.

Especially Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, Gong Chen, and Li Yuhui, the four were even more respectful and afraid, with even a trace of panic and unease.

A Half-Saint Expert actually feeling panic and unease toward a Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage—if word got out, it would simply make people laugh their teeth out, but right now, Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, Gong Chen, and Li Yuhui were indeed panicked and uneasy.

The four of them had previously supported the Holy Alliance and supported Jiang Tian, and for that, they had even specially allowed Huang Zhouping to take away the Refined Ore and Jade originally meant for Huang Xiaolong’s palace construction, as well as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixir that originally belonged to Huang Xiaolong, which had also been taken by Huang Zhouping.

Moreover, Guo Qirong had even set that practically impossible trial mission for Huang Xiaolong, sending him to the Vast Sea to kill Red Demon and the other two.

To Li Wen and Chen Shiming’s congratulations, Huang Xiaolong nodded to each of them in turn as a return of courtesy, but when facing Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, Gong Chen, and Li Yuhui, Huang Xiaolong’s face remained expressionless, without the slightest reaction, as if he did not see Xu Jun and Guo Qirong at all.

Seeing this, Xu Jun and Guo Qirong’s hearts thudded.

Xu Jun gritted his teeth and said humbly, "Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, I know the four of us previously supported the Holy Alliance and supported Jiang Tian. That was our fault. Here and now, we offer you our apologies and compensation!" Saying this, he took out a Jade Bottle and said, "This is the Great Zen Golden Buddha Divine Pill I refined at the cost of endless Heart Blood, eight pills in total. I ask that you accept them and forgive our earlier offense!"

"The Great Zen Golden Buddha Divine Pill!" Chen Shiming, Song Yi and the others were greatly shocked.

This was a Seventh Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Pill!

Seventh Grade!

Hard to find in the Holy World!

Furthermore, once a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixir steps into Seventh Grade, the difficulty of refining it is hundreds of times greater than Sixth Grade. Even for Half-Saint Peak Strong People, it is an incomparably precious Treasure. Who would have thought that Xu Jun would take it out now to give to Huang Xiaolong, just to ask Huang Xiaolong to forgive their previous offense!

Next, Guo Qirong, Li Yuhui, and Gong Chen also gritted their teeth and took out the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixirs or Spiritual Medicine they had treasured for many years and had been reluctant to swallow and refine themselves, offering them to Huang Xiaolong, only hoping for Huang Xiaolong’s forgiveness.

Seeing this, Li Wen also stepped forward and gently tried to persuade Huang Xiaolong, "Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, since Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, Li Yuhui, and Gong Chen have realized their mistakes and are so sincere, please forgive these four junior brothers."

Chen Shiming, Song Yi and the others exchanged glances, then also stepped forward to cautiously persuade Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the uneasy yet sincere faces of Xu Jun and Guo Qirong, then at Li Wen, Chen Shiming and the group of elders pleading for them, and finally nodded.

Strictly speaking, Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, Li Yuhui, and Gong Chen did not have any real hatred toward him; previously, they had only been somewhat biased in favor of the Holy Alliance and Jiang Tian.

Besides, the Great Zen Golden Buddha Divine Pill that the four of them had "offered" was enough to make up for his earlier losses.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong nod, the four of them all let out a long breath of relief, their faces full of joy, hastily shoving the Spirit Pills into Huang Xiaolong’s hands, fearing that he might refuse them the next instant.

Li Wen and Chen Shiming saw this and couldn’t help but give wry smiles. They had seen plenty of strange things, but this was the first time they’d seen people anxiously stuffing Seventh Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Pills into someone else’s hands.

After accepting the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixirs offered by Xu Jun and the others, Huang Xiaolong spoke: "As for the Refined Ore and Jade that were originally meant for my palace construction but were taken away by Huang Zhouping, that matter?"

Xu Jun hurriedly said, "There are still quite a few top-grade Refined Ore and Jade in my cave. Once I return, I’ll pick out the best and personally deliver them to Ten Thousand Dragon Peak for Holy Son Huang Xiaolong!"

Guo Qirong, Li Yuhui, and Gong Chen also stated one after another that they would deliver a batch of Refined Ore and Jade to Huang Xiaolong, even claiming that if Huang Xiaolong didn’t have enough by then, they would send people to the Central Sacred Dynasty to purchase more.

Huang Xiaolong continued, "Now that Huang Zhouping is dead, keeping his cave-palace is pointless. Have people dismantle it, and send all the Refined Ore, Jade, Divine Trees, and Spiritual Medicine from his cave to my Ten Thousand Dragon Peak. Elders, what do you say?"

"Naturally!" Li Wen said quickly. "That’s how it should be!"

Xu Jun, Guo Qirong and the others also hastily echoed in agreement.

"Also, previously my Ten Thousand Dragon Peak was destroyed by people from the Holy Alliance. The Holy Alliance’s Disciples even killed my Guardian Mountain Divine Beast and slaughtered my subordinates." Huang Xiaolong’s eyes turned cold as he spoke: "I hope the elders can capture the culprits as soon as possible!"

Li Yuhui, who oversaw the Law Enforcement Hall, quickly said, "Please rest assured, Holy Son Huang Xiaolong. I will immediately issue an order to the Law Enforcement Hall Master to fully investigate this matter. Once the culprits are captured, they will be personally sent to your Ten Thousand Dragon Peak."

"No need to send them personally to my Ten Thousand Dragon Peak." Huang Xiaolong shook his head. "When the time comes, just handle them according to Holy Sect regulations."

Li Yuhui nodded and immediately issued an order to the Law Enforcement Hall Master, commanding him to personally investigate this matter and to fully, swiftly capture the culprits.

Just as the Law Enforcement Hall Master led the Law Enforcement Hall’s Disciples toward the various Holy Alliance peaks, Jiang Tian and the Holy Alliance crowd had only just returned to the Holy Alliance Palace.
