Chapter 1789: Chapter 1781: This Is an Order
Two days later, Huang Xiaolong and the people from the Creation Emperor Palace stepped out from the Transmission Array in the tournament area.
"Huang Xiaolong!"
"Huang Xiaolong is here!"
As soon as Huang Xiaolong appeared, the whole Heavenly Platform Square erupted, with everyone from all directions in every Emperor Palace, family, and Sect looking over.
More than a month ago, during the preliminary match, when Huang Xiaolong walked out from the Transmission Array, everyone had a look of ridicule, schadenfreude in their eyes, but now, there was only fear, shock, and even admiration and fervor!
Yes, quite a few families and even the Emperor Palace female disciples had that fervor in their eyes when looking at Huang Xiaolong.
So fervent that their eyes were green.
"These floozies!" Fang Xuanxuan suddenly exclaimed.
Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, and his master Zhao Lei, along with Li Shan and others, had an awkward expression.
After years of understanding, Huang Xiaolong found that even though Fang Xuanxuan was the daughter of Fang Qian of the Creation Emperor Palace, an Emperor’s daughter, she could be rather bold at times.
Peng Xiao chuckled lightly: "My young lady, keep your voice down. Didn’t you see their looks as if they want to devour Xiaolong? If they hear you, you won’t be able to fight them all."
Fang Xuanxuan smiled mischievously: "I might not be able to fight them all, but don’t I have my Xiao Long?" Her eyes represented Huang Xiaolong.
Peng Xiao laughed: "Yes, your Xiao Long is invincible in the world."
Fang Xuanxuan’s pretty face blushed.
Huang Xiaolong pretended not to hear.
With the people from the Creation Emperor Palace, Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Lei, and others walked towards area number sixty-one.
This time, Gudu Wuyi and others didn’t dare to occupy the sixty-one area anymore.
"Uncle!"
"Young Master Huang!"
Bei Xiaomei, Mo Xiao, Peng Yi, and others greeted Huang Xiaolong one after another.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and smiled at Bei Xiaomei; seeing this little girl always made his mood pleasant.
However, this time, besides Bei Xiaomei, Mo Xiao, Peng Yi, and others, several Emperor Palace and Sect areas that they passed had Emperor Palace ancestors, Emperor’s sons, and clan leaders smiling and greeting Huang Xiaolong.
The smiles of these Emperor Palace ancestors, Emperor’s sons, and clan leaders carried a sense of goodwill.
Although he had no dealings with these Emperor Palace ancestors, Emperor’s sons, and clan leaders, since they showed goodwill, Huang Xiaolong naturally wouldn’t dismiss their goodwill and nodded to each one.
After nodding all the way, hundreds of Emperor Palace, family, and Sects made Huang Xiaolong’s neck a bit stiff.
Finally arriving at area sixty-one, Huang Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as though he narrowly escaped a calamity.
"Are you okay?" Fang Xuanxuan asked Huang Xiaolong with concern, but her beautiful eyes also had a hint of teasing.
Huang Xiaolong twisted his neck and said with a smile: "I am the Primordial Dragon Divine Body, and it’s a variant, how could anything be wrong?" As he said this, he blinked at Fang Xuanxuan.
Fang Xuanxuan mocked Huang Xiaolong: "You just love to talk big."
At the side, Zhao Lei said: "I say, can you two lovebirds be a bit more restrained, talking affectionately in such a public place."
Huang Xiaolong and Fang Xuanxuan both blushed.
Peng Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Uncle Zhao, you’re bullying me." Fang Xuanxuan glared at Zhao Lei: "What do you mean lovebirds."
Zhao Lei laughed heartily: "Well, I won’t say anymore, in the future, let Xiao Long tease you more."
Fang Xuanxuan blushed and glared at Zhao Lei, her cheeks puffed up with anger but didn’t say any more, knowing Zhao Lei would say something even more shocking if she spoke again.
At this moment, in the distance from the Primordial Emperor Palace area, Han Qing was staring poisonously at Huang Xiaolong, her gaze like a viper.
Although over a month of treatment by the Primordial Emperor Palace’s Supreme Divine Medicine had healed her external injuries, they were only superficial. Inside, a terrifying Dark Energy remained dormant, and according to her and Zhang Renjie and other ancestors’ estimates, only someone with power exceeding that of the Great Emperor could remove this Dark Energy.
Only by removing that Dark Energy could she possibly recover.
Otherwise, she would never recover for the rest of her life.
"Li Junhua." Han Qing suddenly spoke.
"Li Junhua here, what instructions does Ancestor Han Qing have?" A dignified disciple of the Primordial Emperor Palace walked out from the side, speaking respectfully.
Li Junhua, the most powerful disciple among the Primordial Emperor Palace’s participants this time, ranked sixth in the preliminary match.
"When on the arena, if you encounter Huang Xiaolong, you must use all your strength and methods to kill him!" Han Qing said coldly. "Just kill Huang Xiaolong, and the five million bounty from the Primordial Emperor Palace will be yours."
Li Junhua opened his mouth, feeling troubled: "Ancestor Han Qing, this!"
"What’s this, it’s an order!" Han Qing’s eyes turned stern. "Do you intend to disobey orders?"
Li Junhua lowered his head: "I dare not."
"That’s good, go then, I know you didn’t exert your full strength during the preliminary match, your strength exceeds that. If you kill Huang Xiaolong, you’ll have made a significant contribution to the Primordial Emperor Palace. Besides the five million bounty from the Primordial Emperor Palace, I will reward you further!" Han Qing’s tone brooked no argument.
Li Junhua could only respectfully agree and then withdrew.
Beside Han Qing, Zhang Renjie hesitated: "Ancestor Han Qing, this, might not be good? What if our Great Emperor finds out later, will there be repercussions?"
Han Qing laughed coldly: "Huang Xiaolong killed our Primordial Emperor Palace’s two Heavenly Monarch Realm Core Disciples. Li Junhua killing Huang Xiaolong in the arena is just revenge for our Emperor Palace disciples, which is entirely normal. My order of a bounty is also entirely normal, and our Great Emperor has no direct relation with Huang Xiaolong. Would he protect Huang Xiaolong and blame me for avenging our disciples?"
Zhang Renjie opened his mouth but said no more.
The other ancestors of the Primordial Emperor Palace exchanged glances, silent.
Han Qing oversaw the Task Hall and issued the bounty order, which they could not interfere with. Moreover, Han Qing had valid reasons, as Huang Xiaolong indeed admitted killing the Primordial Emperor Palace’s two disciples.
Han Qing’s gaze suddenly fell on Peng Xiao beside Huang Xiaolong, a thought surfaced, and she sneered coldly, then summoned over a dozen Primordial Emperor Palace disciples: "If you meet Peng Xiao of the Creation Emperor Palace on the arena, exert your full strength and kill her. Just kill her, and there will be significant rewards for you."
"This is an order, do you understand?"
"Yes, Ancestor Han Qing."
Han Qing nodded with satisfaction, sneering, Huang Xiaolong, I will let you watch your woman die in front of you! Let you truly savor that pain!
These dozen disciples ranked much higher than Peng Xiao and were very likely to meet her on the arena.
Killing Huang Xiaolong might be difficult, but with the strength of these dozen disciples, killing Peng Xiao was still highly probable.
"The Heavenly Emperor arrives!"
Amidst the waiting crowd, suddenly, a Heavenly Court Marshal shouted loudly.
From afar, Heavenly Girls scattered flowers, golden petals flew as a group of strong individuals proceeded, escorting a Dragon Chariot pulled by Nine Dragons, atop which sat a middle-aged man in a Nine Dragon Brocade Robe.
This was the Heavenly Emperor! The Heavenly Emperor has finally appeared.
This time, the semi-final match of the Heavenly Court tournament was presided over personally by Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.
