Chapter 2285 - 2277: Jiang Family’s Grand Birthday Celebration

Feng Tianyu saw Huang Xiaolong chuckling, and his old face grew even more ill at ease. He hurriedly explained, "I’m being serious. I truly saw that her aptitude was quite good, that’s why I took her in as a female disciple. She may not have an Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, or Holy Body, but she possesses a Divine status that’s close to a Holy Form—it’s a Derivation Thunder Divine Status! And her Divine Veins and Divine Body are no inferior to that Derivation Thunder Divine Status."

Huang Xiaolong was somewhat surprised.

Derivation Thunder Divine Status?

If that was the case, then her talent was indeed pretty good.

In the Holy World, there are some Divine statuses whose power is extremely formidable, reputed to be existences second only to the Holy Form. Among them is this Derivation Thunder Divine Status, and moreover, when cultivating Feng Tianyu’s Thirty-Three Heavens Clan Cultivation Technique with this Derivation Thunder Divine Status, one can truly achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Since it’s like this, then we’ll go to the Jiang Family now and demand her back." Huang Xiaolong said after a brief ponder.

Since he had run into this matter, he couldn’t ignore it.

"Well, Brother Huang, the Jiang Family is the number one family of the Central Sacred Dynasty. Their strength is far from what the Chen Family can compare to. Besides, these few days, various Sects and families have come to congratulate the Old Master Jiang on his birthday, gathering in the Jiang Family. How about we just...?" When Feng Tianyu heard this, he instead became hesitant.

The Jiang Family’s strength made him anxious and indecisive. He was afraid that in the end he wouldn’t be able to save his beloved disciple, and would instead drag Huang Xiaolong into danger.

Huang Xiaolong smiled calmly. "It’s fine. I’ve been meaning to pay the Jiang Family a visit anyway."

Feng Tianyu was taken aback.

Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to take Feng Tianyu over to the Jiang Family, they saw the hundreds of house slaves who had been imprisoned together with Feng Tianyu in the Alchemy Hall by the Jiang Family, tiptoeing out from inside. When they saw Huang Xiaolong, their faces lit up with joy, and they collectively knelt before him. "Benefactor, my lord, please also save us and take us away!"

"Yes, Benefactor, my lord, we beg you, save us along the way. We’re willing to serve under you—no, we’re willing to be your oxen and horses, as long as you save us and take us out of here!"

These hundreds of house slaves pleaded while crying.

They were truly pleading in tears.

They no longer wanted to keep being imprisoned by the Chen Family in the Alchemy Hall, endlessly doing Alchemy day and night until they died.

But if Huang Xiaolong didn’t act to save them, then even if they escaped the Chen Family, they absolutely wouldn’t be able to escape the Capital of the Central Sacred Dynasty. When the Chen Family captured them back, their fate would be even more miserable.

Looking at the hundreds of Chen Family house slaves kneeling on the ground and begging in tears, Huang Xiaolong frowned.

"Brother Tianyu, we beg you, please, we beg you to plead with your friend, our benefactor, to save us. If we continue staying in the Chen Family, we’ll surely die. Brother Tianyu, for the sake of the bond we share from knowing each other, we beg you to petition your friend, our benefactor!" one house slave suddenly pleaded to Feng Tianyu.

During the days Feng Tianyu had been imprisoned in the Chen Family, he’d gotten along quite well with them and had been well taken care of by them, so his face couldn’t help but show his difficulty.

However, he also understood that if Huang Xiaolong took these Chen Family house slaves along, they might become a burden to Huang Xiaolong, so it was hard for him to open his mouth to ask.

"Alright." Huang Xiaolong thought for a moment and then nodded.

Right now, Ten Thousand Dragon Peak was empty, with only him and Zhang Wenyue there. He indeed needed to add some people. Furthermore, wasn’t he just about to expand the Vast Sea’s influence? With these Chen Family house slaves joining, it would help his Vast Sea influence expand to some extent.

Most of these Chen Family house slaves, like Feng Tianyu, were Half-step Supremes, already at the verge of breaking through. As long as they had the assistance of his Spirit Pills, they could soon break through to the Supreme Realm.

Hearing Huang Xiaolong nod in agreement, the five to six hundred house slaves of the Chen Family were overjoyed, repeatedly kowtowing to Huang Xiaolong in gratitude.

Afterward, Huang Xiaolong chose two Half-step Supreme Peak experts among them to temporarily serve as the leaders of this batch of Chen Family house slaves, and then temporarily settled these Chen Family house slaves in one place. After he went to the Jiang Family to rescue Feng Tianyu’s beloved female disciple, he would take everyone and leave the Central Sacred Dynasty.

Once he had settled these Chen Family house slaves, Huang Xiaolong gave each person two Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixirs, one to heal their injuries, and one to aid in improving their strength and breaking through.

After finishing all this, Huang Xiaolong finally headed to the Jiang Family together with Feng Tianyu and those four Guardians.

At the very moment Huang Xiaolong was heading to the Jiang Family, the Jiang Family was filled with boisterous joy.

The Jiang Family was ablaze with lights and festoons, full of festive cheer and extreme bustle.

The lamps were refined from several of the rarest types of gemstones in the Holy Land, and the decorations were woven from silk spun by top-grade Primordial Divine Beast Spiritual Colorful Silkworms.

Under the sunlight, the lights and decorations bloomed with gorgeous radiance, dazzling yet not harsh to the eyes, making the entire Jiang Family, viewed from afar, seem like a colossal rainbow sun of the Central Sacred Dynasty.

Above the Jiang Family, there was an even larger "Longevity" character.

This Longevity character was forged using many rare items of the Holy World that symbolize long life. This single Longevity character alone was worth over a hundred million in Holy Currency.

This showed just how wealthy and overbearing the Jiang Family was.

Although there were still two days left before the Old Master Jiang’s great birthday celebration, the powerhouses from the various continents, dynasties, and Supreme Sects had already been arriving in an unending stream. It was truly an unending stream: starting from half a month ago, throughout every twenty-four-hour day, there had never been a break in the flow of people coming to offer their congratulations.

At peak times, the Jiang Family’s wide main gates were even momentarily jammed and clogged.

At this time, the Jiang Family Main Hall was packed with experts from all sides.

Those who could come to offer congratulations at the Jiang Family were all Supreme Sect powerhouses from the various continents and dynasties. And those who could enter the Jiang Family Main Hall and had the qualification to sit inside it were without exception the Sect Masters or Family Heads of the top Supreme Sects and top families of the various continents and dynasties. These Sect Masters and Family Heads were big figures who, with a single stomp of their foot, could make an entire continent or dynasty tremble three times over.

Seated at the very center of the Jiang Family Main Hall were two people, one of whom was none other than Jiang Tian, the number one Saint Heir of the Holy Sect!

The other was the silver-haired elder with a ruddy face and a beaming smile, the Old Master Jiang, Jiang Wuji!

Jiang Wuji was a legendary figure of the Holy Land.

According to the rules of the Holy Sect, aside from the Holy Sect Elders, all others must perform the kneeling rite when they see the many Saint Heirs. However, there is one exception, and that is Jiang Wuji!

Jiang Wuji had once made an astonishing contribution to the Holy Sect, and later was specially pardoned by the Holy Sect Master Wan Zhuoyuan, who granted him this privilege.

There are even those who rank Jiang Wuji as someone who can sit shoulder to shoulder with the Holy Sect Elders.

Others say that Jiang Wuji has already reached Half-Saint Peak and that his strength is in no way inferior to that of the Holy Sect Elders.

Whichever is true, both are enough to show Jiang Wuji’s status in the Holy Land.

On the lower left beneath Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji, in the first row of seats, sat the current Jiang Family Head, the Sect Master of the Fanhe Divine Sect, a Prince of the Royal Family of the Central Sacred Dynasty, as well as the Family Heads of some other top families of the Central Sacred Dynasty. The Chen Family Head, Chen Kebin, was also seated in the first row, but he was at the very end.

Although the Chen Family was also a top family of the Central Sacred Dynasty, compared to Supreme Sects like the Fanhe Divine Sect, they were still much inferior.

On the lower right beneath Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji, in the first row of seats, seated foremost were several young men wearing Dragon Robes, their bodies emanating Holy Spirit Energy. These were the several Saint Heirs of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land, with the first being Tan Hongyi.

Although Tan Hongyi was not the foremost Saint Heir of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land, in terms of talent among the Saint Heirs of the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land, he was definitely one of the top three.
