Chapter 1098: Has Tang Hong Come Out Yet?
The Nine Dragon Souls connected head to tail, forming a giant Dragon Circle, hovering over the Golden Dragon Divine Palace for a long time. Waves of vast Dragon Energy cascaded down from the Dragon Circle like golden rain, continuously pouring into the Golden Dragon Divine Palace below.
Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged inside the Golden Dragon Divine Palace, surrounded by this golden rain-like Dragon Energy.
...
A dozen days passed quickly.
Just as it was exactly a month since Huang Xiaolong entered the Golden Dragon Divine Palace, suddenly, the Nine Dragon Souls hovering above began to shrink continuously and then fell back into the Golden Dragon Divine Palace, merging into the Golden Dragon Dragon Ball, eventually disappearing without a trace.
The golden light above the Golden Dragon Divine Palace also receded like the tide into the Divine Palace.
Huang Xiaolong slowly opened his eyes, his Divine Sense deep within, nodding in satisfaction. This time, comprehending the Golden Dragon Dragon Ball and receiving the infusion of the Power of Nine Dragon Souls, although he only broke through from the Heavenly God Fifth Stage Middle Stage to the Fifth Stage Late Stage, he was already content. To know, other ordinary Heavenly God Fifth Stage Middle Stage experts might not be able to break through to the Fifth Stage Late Stage even after cultivating for twenty or thirty years.
Huang Xiaolong stood up and then walked toward the entrance of the Golden Dragon Divine Palace.
Upon coming out, Huang Xiaolong saw the waiting Song Chengli, Liu Zhuo, and Li Yangmin outside.
Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo were pacing back and forth continuously, appearing quite anxious.
As soon as they saw Huang Xiaolong come out, Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo's expressions suddenly shook.
Immediately, Song Chengli regained his composure, promptly stepping forward to salute Huang Xiaolong, saying, "Song Chengli greets the Ancestor Disciple."
Huang Xiaolong is the Inheritor of the Golden Dragon Ancestor of the Golden Dragon Sect, so Song Chengli's addressing him as Ancestor Disciple is also normal.
Ancestor Disciple!
And when Liu Zhuo heard this ancestral address, he shivered, came to his senses, recalled Huang Xiaolong's current identity, and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Liu Zhuo greets the Ancestor Disciple."
Li Yangmin shuddered, came before Huang Xiaolong, and directly knelt, respectfully addressing Huang Xiaolong as Ancestor Disciple.
For a sect like the Golden Dragon Sect, which extremely values seniority, for Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo to address Huang Xiaolong as Ancestor Disciple is not mere posturing but stems from the heart.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, accepting their salutations without any false pretenses.
"Are you puzzled in your hearts about how I, Tang Hong, with my high-level tenth rank talent, managed to activate the Nine Dragon Souls?" Huang Xiaolong's eyes were like an eagle's, staring at the three of them.
"Chengli does not dare," Song Chengli quickly replied upon hearing this.
"Your doubts are quite normal, actually. I am not the original disciple Tang Hong of your Golden Dragon Sect at all," Huang Xiaolong suddenly said.
Song Chengli, Liu Zhuo, and Li Yangmin were stunned. Not? However, they could see that the current Tang Hong was not someone who was easily mistaken. This little eye power, they still had.
Under the gaze of the three, Huang Xiaolong's appearance began to slowly change into a young man with black hair, starry eyes, straight nose, sword-like brows, both handsome and imposing.
This was Huang Xiaolong's original appearance.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong restore back to his original visage, the trio was utterly shocked.
Could such a disguise technique exist in the world?
To know, not even an Ancient God Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak Perfection expert could change their appearance, right? Even terrifying existences rumored to be beyond Ancient Gods couldn't do so.
Huang Xiaolong had considered reverting to his original appearance long ago.
Now that he had activated the Nine Dragon Souls of the Golden Dragon Dragon Ball, and with the three Ancient God Puppets Bing Jiu Yi, Evil Slaughter, and Evil Du, there was naturally no need to keep pretending to be Tang Hong in front of Song Chengli and the others.
"My name is Huang Xiaolong, a disciple of the Barbarian God Sect on Azure Cloud Island." Huang Xiaolong secretly observed their reactions before continuing to speak.
"Barbarian God Sect's Huang Xiaolong?!" Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo were taken aback. Recently, the name they heard the most was none other than this.
"Moreover, the Ice Soul Green Demon who previously seized the Sea Emperor Black Flame Beast and the Spiritual Thunder Nine-leaf Lotus is one of my subordinates," Huang Xiaolong continued, summoning Bing Jiu Yi as he spoke.
With Bing Jiu Yi's appearance, the surrounding space instantly felt like a frozen cavern.
"This!"
Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo were immensely shocked, their minds buzzing at the thought. An Ice Soul Green Demon at the Second-stage Early Stage Peak of the Ancient God was actually a subordinate of Huang Xiaolong?!
As for Li Yangmin, he was long dumbfounded with fright.
Huang Xiaolong quietly observed them. After a few minutes, allowing them to regain their composure, he said to Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo, "I need to refine an Ancient Divine Pill and require the blood of the Sea Emperor Black Flame Beast and the Spiritual Thunder Nine-leaf Lotus, so I had Bing Jiu Yi seize them. I hope you don't take offense at this?"
Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo returned from their daze.
"The Ancestor Disciple jests. Had we known the Ancestor Disciple needed these items for alchemy, we would have offered them up voluntarily without daring to blame the Ancestor Disciple," Song Chengli promptly answered, once again looking at Huang Xiaolong with fear and a more respectful demeanor.
Liu Zhuo also became humble, repeatedly stating he dared not. What a joke. Even an Ice Soul Green Demon at the Second-stage Early Stage Peak of the Ancient God is under their Ancestor Disciple's command. How could they dare hold him accountable?
Moreover, Huang Xiaolong was the Inheritor of their Golden Dragon Ancestor, with such a status clearly established.
Could they dare to blame him? To speak bluntly, that would be overstepping one's bounds.
At this moment, suddenly, inside Huang Xiaolong's Asura Ring, a token began to vibrate. Huang Xiaolong retrieved it and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, recognized it as a message sent by Evil Du and Wei Chao. The token proclaimed that although they had yet to locate the Ancestor Dragon Fruit, it was confirmed to be within a mountain in the depths of Blood Phoenix Forest called Hundred Beasts Mountain.
Furthermore, for reasons either of suspicion or something else, the Sect Master of the Mad Lion Divine Sect had suddenly decided to personally head to Blood Phoenix Forest in search of the Ancestor Dragon Fruit!
At present, the Sect Master of the Mad Lion Divine Sect had already arrived at Blood Phoenix Forest.
Huang Xiaolong furrowed his brows; he had not anticipated that the Sect Master of the Mad Lion Divine Sect would personally head to Blood Phoenix Forest. It seemed he now had to make every effort to rush back to Azure Cloud Island.
"I currently have matters requiring me to return to Azure Cloud Island. I hope the three of you will not disclose my identity. I am not ready to let a fourth person know as of yet," Huang Xiaolong spoke to Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo, adding, "In the future, I shall return to the Golden Dragon Sect."
Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo promptly and respectfully complied.
However, before departing, Huang Xiaolong recorded the remaining spiritual medicine materials and Chaos Spirit Medicine he needed into a Jade Talisman, asking Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo to help him find them.
A while later, under the respectful send-off of Song Chengli and the others, Huang Xiaolong departed, cutting through the sky.
"Who would have thought that an Ice Soul Green Demon at the Second-stage Early Stage Peak of the Ancient God would be subdued by the Ancestor Disciple?" Song Chengli mused aloud. "I wonder how the Ancestor Disciple managed to subdue that Ice Soul Green Demon."
Liu Zhuo said: "Who knows how the Ancestor Disciple subdued that Ice Soul Green Demon, but it is certain that the Ancestor Disciple's power is formidable."
The two departed, but not before both commanded Li Yangmin not to disclose Huang Xiaolong's identity.
Shortly after, in the Great Hall of a cave, Liu Qingyang sat with shimmering eyes as he asked the one who reported to him, "The blockade on the Golden Dragon Divine Palace has been lifted?"
"Was it an order from the Ancestor?"
