Chapter 2288 - 2280: Semi-Saint!

Old Master Jiang, the Sect Master of Fanhe Divine Sect, Fan Fan, and others all stepped forward to greet Huang Xiaolong one by one.

Before this, Huang Xiaolong already knew that Tan Hongyi and a few others were here to celebrate Jiang Wuji’s birthday, so he wasn’t surprised after learning about their identities.

However, when the Chen Family Head, Chen Kebin, stepped forward to greet Huang Xiaolong, Huang Xiaolong laughed and said, "So, you are the Chen Family Master? I just launched an attack on the Chen Family Headquarters. Your Chen Family elders and thousands of experts at the headquarters were seriously injured by us. Surely, the Chen Family Master doesn’t hold a grudge against me?"

Chen Kebin, the Chen Family Head, was taken aback, then forced a smile and replied repeatedly, "I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare. There must be a reason for His Highness Huang Xiaolong’s actions. How could Chen Kebin dare to hold a grudge against His Highness Huang Xiaolong!"

Afterwards, Jiang Tian and the others "welcomed" Huang Xiaolong into the Jiang Family Main Hall.

Upon entering the Jiang Family Main Hall, Huang Xiaolong saw that there were only two seats set up in the center and inwardly let out a cold laugh. He then quickly took a step forward and sat on one of the central seats.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji, who intended to take their seats, were frozen on the spot.

All the Family Heads and Sect Masters had peculiar expressions.

"Huang Xiaolong, the central seats are for Brother Jiang Tian and Old Master Jiang. Who do you think you are to dare sit on the central master seat? Even we can only sit at the lower seats," sneered Qu Jiangmeng, the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land Saint Heir, pointing angrily at Huang Xiaolong. "Get down quickly!"

Even as the Holy Son of Dragon Transformation Sacred Land, coming to celebrate from countless space-time away, Qu Jiangmeng could only sit at the lower seats. Huang Xiaolong, a newly appointed Saint Heir of Zhuoyuan Sacred Land, dared to arrogantly sit in the master seat?

Not only Qu Jiangmeng, but even Tan Hongyi and several other Dragon Transformation Sacred Land Saint Heirs were glaring angrily.

This Huang Xiaolong, simply ignores others!

Huang Xiaolong calmly glanced at Qu Jiangmeng and said, "You all can only sit in the lower seats because you don’t qualify; it doesn’t mean others don’t have the qualification."

With his current status, he was indeed above Jiang Tian, although Li Wen had not publicly acknowledged it yet.

Still, to Tan Hongyi and the other Dragon Transformation Sacred Land Saint Heirs, Huang Xiaolong’s words were a direct insult and ridicule.

Qu Jiangmeng laughed in extreme anger: "Huang Xiaolong, do you really think that because you are the Zhuoyuan Sacred Land Saint Heir, others won’t dare to move against you? Since you refuse to get down, then I will personally make you!" With that, he extended a single hand towards Huang Xiaolong to grab him and attempted to throw him out, "Get down!"

This Qu Jiangmeng was a peak existence of Supreme Tenth Stage Middle Stage.

The power of a single grab was hard for even many Supreme Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak experts to resist.

However, just when everyone thought Huang Xiaolong would be thrown out by Qu Jiangmeng, and just when Chen Kebin and others were about to enjoy the spectacle, suddenly, a Guardian behind Huang Xiaolong swept a hand, unleashing a power so strong it terrified Qu Jiangmeng, causing the space to roar violently like a tsunami.

Qu Jiangmeng staggered backward continuously, finally crashing onto the Main Hall gate and then collapsed to the floor.

Everyone was shocked.

"Half-Saint!" a family head exclaimed in surprise.

In the Holy Land, there are no shortages of Supreme Tenth-order experts, but Supreme Tenth Rank Late Stage and Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak experts were scarce, much like the Continent Masters of some branches of the Holy Sect who were merely Supreme Tenth Rank Late Stage, Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak experts.

However, only a Half-Saint is considered a truly top-tier expert in the Holy Land!

A Half-Saint is enough to make even the top-tier Supreme Sects and top-tier families of the Central Sacred Dynasty, and even the Central Imperial Family’s expressions change dramatically.

Without a Saint appearing, a Half-Saint is king.

Nobody expected that a follower behind Huang Xiaolong would be a Half-Saint!

Even Jiang Tian was greatly shocked and surprised.

Needless to say, this Half-Saint expert was definitely sent by Li Wen and others to protect Huang Xiaolong.

Jiang Tian, amidst his shock, was doubtful and uncertain. He recognized most of the Half-Saint experts of the Holy Sect, yet he had never seen this one?

Suddenly, Jiang Tian’s face changed slightly—could it be?

With this thought, a heaviness settled in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Li Wen and others had arranged for a Guardian of the Holy Sect to come out to protect Huang Xiaolong!

To Li Wen and others, Huang Xiaolong was evidently this significant?

However, the more it was like this, the more intense the intent to kill within Jiang Tian’s heart grew.

"Junior Brother Qu, are you alright?" Tan Hongyi and a few others were greatly alarmed, quickly supporting Qu Jiangmeng to swallow Elixir Pills and assess his injuries.

Only after seeing that Qu Jiangmeng was not seriously harmed did Tan Hongyi and the others feel relieved.

Tan Hongyi’s gaze coldly fixed on Huang Xiaolong and the four Guardians behind him.

"Huang Xiaolong, your followers have harmed the Saint Heir of our Dragon Transformation Sacred Land. Do you know the consequences of this action?" Tan Hongyi’s eyes were cold and severe.

Huang Xiaolong, however, gave a calm smile: "I really don’t know. Why doesn’t Saint Heir Tan Hongyi enlighten me?"

"You!" Tan Hongyi boiled with anger, his aura suddenly burst forth, the vast half-Saint might soared skywards, enveloping countless billions of miles in the Central Sacred Dynasty’s capital.

The numerous Family Heads and Sect Masters were astonished, Tan Hongyi turned out to be a Half-Saint too!

However, at this moment, Jiang Tian suddenly transmitted a message to Tan Hongyi. Hearing it, Tan Hongyi adopted a look of surprise and doubt, glaring once at the four Guardians behind Huang Xiaolong and then challenged: "Huang Xiaolong, you rely on your followers’ strength, flaunting false authority. What kind of skill is that? If you have the ability, let’s compete personally!"

Compete personally? Huang Xiaolong inwardly sneered, casting a glance at Jiang Tian, Tan Hongyi and the others. He had smelled an unusual scent upon entering, daring to say that Jiang Tian, Tan Hongyi and the others had this scheme in mind.

With a calm expression, Huang Xiaolong derisively laughed: "Compete with you personally? Me, a Dominator Realm, against you, a Half-Saint? Tan Hongyi, why don’t you a Half-Saint, go and challenge a Saint?"

Even though Tan Hongyi had a thick skin, he blushed slightly.

Indeed, for a Half-Saint to propose a challenge to a Dominator Realm would likely be laughed at if it spread.

This time, the Dragon Transformation Sacred Land Saint Son Yang Rong spoke: "Huang Xiaolong, my Brother Tan possesses such a noble status; how can you dare to compete against him? I’ll seal my strength, bring it down to your level, and fight with you. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

"That’s right, Huang Xiaolong, you once agreed for a duel against your Saint Son Huang Zhouping on the Holy Platform; now, we will use the same approach to challenge you on the Central Battle Platform of the Holy Dynasty!" spoke another Dragon Transformation Saint Son, Zhang Bing, in a cold voice: "You aren’t scared to die, are you?"

"If scared to die and refuse the challenge, I suggest you roll back to your Holy Sect Headquarters and hide, and stop making a fool of yourself."

Hearing Yang Rong and Zhang Bing’s provocation, Huang Xiaolong merely gave a calm smile, watching Yang Rong with interest: "Challenge on the Central Battle Platform?"

He held some of Wan Zhuoyuan’s memories, and had memories from two direct disciples of the Dragon Transformation Main Hall Master, so he knew that Yang Rong’s Enlightenment Saint Realm was ranked around 2,700 on the Dragon Silkworm Saint Realm list, with his Holy Veins and Holy Body ranked a bit lower, around 2,800.

With Yang Rong’s Saint Heir talent, he does indeed seem to appear more superior than Huang Xiaolong’s current "surface" talent.
