Chapter 435: Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce Headquarters

“Yes, Young Lord, give the order, exterminate the Asura’s Gate!” Chen Xiaofeng took a step forward, “The hatred in our hearts cannot be quelled unless Huang Xiaolong dies!”

Among the tens of thousands of Cosmos God Cult disciples that Huang Xiaolong massacred, his personal disciples were there too. Those qualified to be received as Chen Xiaofeng’s personal disciples undeniably possessed remarkable talent.

But all those people were now dead!

All the upper ranks of Cosmos God Cult Elders felt their hearts bleeding.

He Zhi and the Elders also stepped forward, imploring Xie Hui to give the order—annihilate the Asura’s Gate!

A light flickered in Xie Hui’s eyes, seemingly tempted, but he took a deep breath instead, and spoke solemnly, “I will have someone get in touch with Lord Father!” Although he’d like nothing more than to disassemble Huang Xiaolong with his bare hands and gnaw on his bones, attacking the Asura’s Gate headquarters was no simple matter.

The Asura’s Gate’s strength and forces might have dwindled significantly over the years, but there was Huang Xiaolong at its helm now. Huang Xiaolong was an existence that no one dared to underestimate.

If the Cosmos God Cult really waged war with the Asura’s Gate, even if the Cosmos God Cult could finally annihilate the Asura’s Gate, they would have to pay a heavy price and suffer a huge drop in strength. At that time, other super forces like Distinct Void Door and White Phoenix House would swoop in and reap a fisherman’s benefits with no effort at all.

Therefore, the order must come from his father.

Slightly over an hour later, Xie Hui received a reply from his father. Xie Chao’s message was: Everyone was to wait until he returns.

Chen Xiaofeng, He Zhi, Hu Chen, and everyone else couldn’t wait to tear Huang Xiaolong from limb to limb, but they could only suppress the hatred and anger in their hearts after receiving the Leader’s instructions.

“Enforcer Chen, Enforcer Hu.” Xie Hui spoke coldly, “Relay the order, Asura’s Gate disciples and those families that submitted under the Asura’s Gate, as long as they dare to appear in my Cosmos God Cult’s territories, slaughter them all without mercy!”

Although his father had ordered not to attack the Asura’s Gate, this order of his did not contradict with his father’s order.

“Yes, Young Lord!” Chen Xiaofeng and the Enforcement Elders acknowledged with enthusiasm and respect.

At this time, Huang Xiaolong and the three women appeared on a stark hill at the northern border of the Lingwu Oblast. Only some small aboriginal tribes resided in the area. After making sure that the Cosmos God Cult did not send any pursuers, Huang Xiaolong’s group stopped to rest in this hilly region.

“You’ve suffered in recent days.” Stepping on the ground, Huang Xiaolong said, looking at Shi Xiaofei.

Shi Xiaofei’s eyes became red-rimmed all of a sudden, sobbing as she dove into Huang Xiaolong’s arms.

Huang Xiaolong was stupefied on the spot.

Xiaorou and Xiaoyue stood blankly watching the scene playing in front of them.

Both girls were aware if their Princess’s aloof attitude towards men. Despite knowing full well that the Princess’s main purpose in coming all the way to Starcloud Continent this time was because of Huang Xiaolong, after watching the scene in front of them, their brains were a tad slow in trying to process the meaning of it.

The Princess took the initiative to embrace a man!

Right in front of them!

Huang Xiaolong grew increasingly awkward under the stares coming from Xiaorou and Xiaoyue, he lightly patted Shi Xiaofei’s shoulder saying, “Alright now, there are people watching.”

Shi Xiaofei immediately realized her gaffe, remembering that Xiaorou and Xiaoyue were standing at the side. She quickly released Huang Xiaolong and retreated in a flustered manner as a bright red blush crept up her face.

The atmosphere inevitably turned strange and awkward.

“Young Noble Huang, Xie Hui forced Princess and us to swallow a kind of grayish medicinal pellet after capturing us, and after that, we were unable to gather any battle qi at all. That Xie Hui said that if we are not given the antidote within one month’s time, we’d never recover for the rest of our lives!” At one point, the maid Xiaorou spoke, breaking the awkward silence.

“That’s true, Young Noble Huang, if there’s no antidote, then Princess…!” Xiaoyue said with a worried expression that shadowed her small face.

Gray-colored pellets? Huang Xiaolong’s brows creased hearing this, then he took out three Jasper Lotus from the Asura Ring. The air was immediately infused with a refreshing herbal fragrance similar to a pellet.

“This is a Jasper Lotus, it can solve ten thousand kinds of poison. First take this and see if it can expel the poison in your body.” Huang Xiaolong explained.

“Jasper Lotus!” Shi Xiaofei’s eyes were round with amazement and delight. Xiaorou and Xiaoyue might not know the value of the Jasper Lotus, but Shi Xiaofei did.

Huang Xiaolong nodded with a slight encouraging smile, “Swallow this first, then meditate. I will be on the lookout.” With that, he passed three stalks of Jasper Lotus to the three women.

Taking the Jasper Lotus in her hand, Shi Xiaofei gazed intently at Huang Xiaolong, the adoration swimming on her eyes made Huang Xiaolong want to flee for safety. He avoided Shi Xiaofei’s eyes and went to stand guard at the side, acting as a lookout for the three women.

Huang Xiaolong’s reaction made Shi Xiaofei chuckle softly, like a thousand petals blooming gloriously. Only then did she sat down in a meditative posture with her two maids, took the Jasper Lotus and began running their cultivation techniques to eliminate the poison.

A heavy sigh escaped Huang Xiaolong’s heart hearing Shi Xiaofei’s tiny chuckle.

At first, when Huang Xiaolong heard Cosmos God Cult Young Lord Xie Hui say that Shi Xiaofei had someone she liked, and that person was himself, he still carried some doubt. However, just now, from the way Shi Xiaofei was gazing at him, the enamoured feelings she held for him were obvious to him.

At a time like this, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but think of Li Lu. There was a distinct feeling that he and Li Lu would come face to face soon, however, there was a foreboding anxiety attached to this feeling.

Could it be due to Li Lu’s current identity? Huang Xiaolong contemplated. By now, Huang Xiaolong no longer had any doubts that Li Lu was the elected Deities Templar Holy Maiden.

“Deities Templar’s Holy Maiden…” Huang Xiaolong muttered under his breath.

Two hours passed quietly.

After taking the Jasper Lotus, faint gray mists floated out from Shi Xiaofei, Xiaorou, and Xiaoyue’s bodies. Huang Xiaolong, who had been keeping an eye on the three people’s conditions, finally relaxed when he saw this scene. He knew that the gray mist was the poison being expelled from their bodies.

Admittedly, he was a little worried in the beginning that the Jasper Lotus wouldn’t work. If it came to that, Huang Xiaolong would have to make another trip back to Cosmos God City…

A short while later, there was no more grayish mist coming out from the three women’s bodies. When the three stood up, ruddiness returned to their faces, not only had all the poison been expelled, but even their cultivation rose slightly.

“How is it?” Huang Xiaolong walked over, asking Shi Xiaofei.

Shi Xiaofei smiled happily, nodding her head, “All the poison has been expelled.”

Huang Xiaolong nodded: “Let’s leave this place first.”

Huang Xiaolong believed that very soon all two hundred oblasts under Cosmos God Cult’s governance would impose martial law, which was why he had to bring all three women out of Cosmos God Cult’s sphere of influence as soon as possible.

The three women nodded at Huang Xiaolong’s words.

In a rapid flicker, all four people disappeared from the hilly site.

In less than a day, news of the Cosmos God City battle spread throughout the Starcloud Continent, like an extra large bomb that shook the entire continent.

“On the Cosmos God Cult Young Lord’s big wedding day, Huang Xiaolong single-handedly broke into the Cosmos God City and massacred over ten thousand of Cosmos God Cult’s disciples!”

“Huang Xiaolong actually cultivates the Godly Xumi Art! The number one battle skill has once again resurfaced in the world!”

“Several Cosmos God Cult Elders were struck flying by Huang Xiaolong’s Godly Xumi Art!”

Each and every detail was spread by word of mouth at amazing speed!

Shock, amazement, idolization to the point of fanaticism, and fear. The entire Starcloud Continent, or more accurately, the entire Martial Spirit World was in an uproar!

In comparison to Huang Xiaolong’s Godly Xumi Art, rarely anyone bothered to speak of Xie Hui’s Death God Sinister Technique or his Death God’s Sword.

Half a month later, several hundred kilometers outside of Cosmos God City, Huang Xiaolong’s group of four appeared.

“Birchleaf City.” Huang Xiaolong examined the large city outside the city gates.

Birchleaf City was the place where the headquarters of one of the four Starcloud Continent’s biggest firms was located, the Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters.

Coming all this way, Huang Xiaolong’s only purpose was the four stalks of Dragon God Grass.

Chapter 436: Our President Is Not In

The Cosmos God City battle made Huang Xiaolong realize that his own strength was still too inadequate.

If there were no Poison Corpse Scarabs hindering the group of Cosmos God Cult Elders and high-level Saint realm experts, just a single Elder like Chen Xiaofeng could easily kill him.

Additionally, the Godly Xumi Art drained a terrifying amount of battle qi. At his current battle qi level, after exerting strenuous effort, he could barely execute the Godly Xumi Art twice. This was also why, after displaying the Godly Xumi Art twice, Huang Xiaolong left in a hurry with Shi Xiaofei and her two maids in tow.

In this trip to the Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce, Huang Xiaolong was adamant to get his hands on the four remaining Dragon God Grass, no matter what.

After he gathered all eight stalks, Huang Xiaolong could refine one primordial divine dragon body, enhancing his strength to another level.

Huang Xiaolong merely stopped for a brief moment before his lifted his foot and strode into Birchleaf City. Shi Xiaofei and her two maids followed closely behind.

Even though the three women were curious why Huang Xiaolong came to Birchleaf City, Shi Xiaofei did not voice any objections. She was happy enough as long as she could remain with Huang Xiaolong and not be sent back to the Blessed Buddha Empire.

Entering Birchleaf City, Huang Xiaolong asked around for the Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters location, heading straight there without dallying.

“Big brother Huang, is there something you want to buy going to the Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce?” On the way, Shi Xiaofei casually asked.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, “I want to buy a few stalks of Dragon God Grass, I heard that the Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce has some.”

“You want to buy Dragon God Grass?!” Shi Xiao Fei eyes widened.

“That’s right, what’s the matter?” Shi Xiao Fei exaggerated reaction roused Huang Xiaolong’s curiosity.

“There are a few inside our Blessed Buddha Empire’s treasure chamber!” Shi Xiaofei revealed without holding back.

Huang Xiaolong’s steps halted abruptly, a quiver of excitement shot through his body as he asked in disbelief, “Your Blessed Buddha Empire’s treasure chamber has Dragon God Grass?!”

Shi Xiaofei nodded heavily as if to emphasize the fact that she didn’t lie, “We have, ah. I am not sure how many we have, but definitely no less than ten!”

“Ten!” Huang Xiaolong’s breathing constricted a little.

Ten stalks of Dragon God Grass! Inwardly, he couldn’t help letting out loud wanton laugh!

He didn’t expect the Dragon God Grass that he had been searching for high and low for was quietly lying inside the Blessed Buddha Empire’s treasure chamber.

At least ten stalks, adding the four stalks that he was going to get from the Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce, he could refine two primordial divine dragons!

Two! Huang Xiaolong’s larynx moved as he swallowed, nervous with excitement.

“Big brother Huang, is that Dragon God Grass very important to you?” Noticing the joy on Huang Xiaolong’s face, Shi Xiaofei felt happy as well.

Huang Xiaolong calmed himself down, nodding seriously, “Yes, very important.”

Before the time for Grand Martial Exchange arrived, whether Huang Xiaolong could exceed Tenth Order Saint realm depended on finding enough Dragon God Grass.

Therefore, Dragon God Grass was crucial to Huang Xiaolong!

Huang Xiaolong was in an excellent mood after knowing there were ten stalks of Dragon God Grass in the Blessed Buddha Empire’s treasure chamber. At the same time, he was a little annoyed with himself. If he had known earlier, he would have tried to inquire some information from his Senior Brother Shi Fantian when he was passing by the Blessed Buddha Empire.

A short while later, Huang Xiaolong, Shi Xiaofei, Xiaorou, and Xiaoyue reached the Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce headquarters building.

The Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce was one of four Starcloud Continent’s biggest trading firms, with branches in every oblast all over the continent. Including the thirty-six oblasts under Asura’s Gate governance, there were many of its branches. The four biggest trading firms might not be at par with the continent’s twelve super forces, but their actual forces did not fall far from the twelve super forces.

Its headquarters was located on Birchleaf City’s most expensive street, occupying a large land area. There were eight sections to their main door, each section was five to six meters in length, the whole place was lavishly decorated.

People moved in and out in an endless stream.

When Huang Xiaolong’s group walked in, many people looked over and suddenly, it raised a commotion.

This reaction brought a helpless bitter smile to Huang Xiaolong’s face. Of course, he realized this commotion was due to Shi Xiaofei. With her alluring beauty, no matter where she went, she would be the center of attention.

With lightning speed, an employee had hurried over to Huang Xiaolong’s group. Perhaps it was due to the presence of a great beauty like Shi Xiaofei, but the employee was extremely courteous.

“May I ask what items the several Young Ladies are looking to purchase, or selling perhaps?” The employee gave his best smile to Shi Xiaofei, his eyes never leaving her. As for Huang Xiaolong, he was totally ignored and sidelined.

Shi Xiaofei was slightly irritated by the way the employee was staring at her, however, in front of Huang Xiaolong she was too embarrassed to throw any temper, hence, she looked at Huang Xiaolong silently.

“I would like to see your President.” Huang Xiaolong said.

The employee was stunned, he only noticed Huang Xiaolong’s presence at this moment.

Want to see the President?! He scrutinized Huang Xiaolong from head to toe.

“This brother, our President is not in, may I know what matters you have with our President?” The employee asked, not concealing the disdain in his eyes.

Want to see the President?

How could their Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce’s President be someone that anyone could request to meet? Even Elders from the twelve super forces wanting to meet their President depended on whether their President is willing or not.

Huang Xiaolong caught the disdain in the employee’s eyes, but he did not say anything in that regard. He merely took out a jade bottle from the Asura Ring and took the pellet out. Instantly, a medicinal scent wafted in the air, filling the reception lobby with its fragrance, rejuvenating the soul and mind, at the same time shocking the people nearby.

Everyone in the reception lobby was shocked, turning their attention over to Huang Xiaolong’s direction.

“This is a top-grade divine spirit pellet, Golden Jadesea Dragon Pill.” Huang Xiaolong placed the round pellet on the table, then asked, “Now, can I see your President?”

That employee’s knees grew soft in an instant. Top-grade divine spirit pellet!

Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s question, the employee remembered where he was. When he looked at Huang Xiaolong again, the disdain in his eyes had vanished to god knows where.

“Young Noble, please wait a moment, I shall go and report to our steward immediately!” The employee said with all due respect.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong nod, the employee swiftly turned and ran inside.

After the employee left, the feverish gazes from the people in the reception lobby were fixed on the small pellet that Huang Xiaolong placed on the table akin to a pack of hungry wolves staring at a piece of succulent meat.

“Top-grade divine spirit pellet, maybe it’s a fake?!” A big family’s disciple mocked in a loud voice.

“Who knows for sure, it’s not like something of this nature didn’t happen before, claiming a Profound Gold Pill as Golden Origin Pill. In the end, that swindler was beaten half dead by the Golden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce’s Elder!” Another person chimed in. “Although that person kept his life, both his hands were chopped off by that Elder!”

Noises of discussions hummed in the lobby.

At this time, a middle-aged pot-bellied man, dressed to the nines with sparkling gold and shining jewels walked over to Huang Xiaolong, stopping in front of him, “This brother, I have some knowledge regarding medicinal pellets, with one look I can tell whether it is genuine or fake, may I take a look at this Golden Jadesea Dragon Pill?” Finished saying that, his hand reached out to pick up the round pellet on the table without waiting for a reply from Huang Xiaolong.

However, before the pot-bellied man’s hand even touched it, his hand was suddenly pinched in place by another hand.

That middle-aged man’s face tightened, he was a peak late-Xiantian Tenth Order, yet his hand was easily locked in place by the black-haired young man.

“You cannot.” Huang Xiaolong replied with a frosty voice. Then he exerted a tiny amount of pressure, sounds of breaking bones came from the middle-aged man’s hand. With a flick, the middle-aged man was thrown back, staggering backward again and again, nearly crashing into a stone pillar in the corner of the lobby.

He flushed with anger: “You!” Despite that, he dared not approach Huang Xiaolong a second time.

The people in the lobby were secretly surprised. Many of them recognized the pot-bellied middle-aged man as an Elder of Birchleaf City’s Su Family, they also knew his strength, yet the young man actually crushed the bones of someone like that effortlessly.
