Chapter 1114: Chapter 1114: All the Geniuses Gather Together Chapter 1114: Chapter 1114: All the Geniuses Gather Together At this mont, the expression on Mo Shaoxin’s face was completely solidified, becoming ferocious and sinister, staring at Huang Xiaolong with hatred, his whole being like a volcano about to erupt!
“Mo Shaoxin, you miscalculated your cunning plan,” said Duanmu Wei, breaking free from Mo Shaoxin’s restraint and stepping beside Huang Xiaolong, speaking softly. “Little brother, are you alright?”
“Hehe, Big Sister Duanmu, what could possibly be wrong with ?” Huang Xiaolong burst into a brisk laugh. “Two old dogs provoking and trying to crush ? I just gave them a taste of their own dicine.”
Pausing for a mont, Huang Xiaolong sarcastically smiled at Mo Shaoxin. “I didn’t even lift a finger, right? It was those two old dogs that ran into . Hehe, they brought it upon themselves.”
“Mo Shaoxin, what do you have to say now?” Duanmu Wei also stared intently at Mo Shaoxin, as if ready to erupt at any mont.
“Hmph!” Mo Shaoxin’s expression fluctuated, his eyes flickering several tis before forcing a dry laugh. “Good, very good, boy, it seems I misjudged you, underestimated you. Your physical strength is comparable to that of ancient beasts! I guess you must have stumbled upon so heavenly treasure that transford your body, right? Hahaha, you’re quite lucky. But next ti, you won’t be so fortunate! Today, for Duanmu’s sake, I’ll let you off.”
Having said that, Mo Shaoxin released two balls of mana, which rubbed against the air and ignited into a large fire, burning the two servant-like old n into ashes.
He turned and left.
This ti, it was Mo Shaoxin who had been humiliated, yet, he still didn’t regard Huang Xiaolong highly. He indeed couldn’t sense any strong mana fluctuations around Huang Xiaolong. At most, his physical body was unbreakable, and killing two middle-stage Divine Skills realm servants was not significant. Mo Shaoxin was confident that he could kill Huang Xiaolong with a wave of his hand, but for Duanmu Wei’s sake, he had to maintain a certain decorum and not be too reckless.
“Do I need you to let off?” Huang Xiaolong muttered disdainfully.
“Little brother, did you really accidentally consu so divine treasure that transford your physical strength?” Duanmu Wei asked curiously.
“That—yes,” Huang Xiaolong straightforwardly admitted.
“Impressive,” Duanmu Wei smiled and then frowned. “However, little brother, now Mo Shaoxin will certainly harbor deep hatred for you. He looks down on everyone and has a narrow heart, vengeful to a fault. In the future, try not to be alone. With around, he wouldn’t dare do much to you!”
In Duanmu Wei’s view, Huang Xiaolong indeed had so tricks up his sleeve, but compared to Mo Shaoxin, who ranked 19th on the Hidden Dragon List, there was a vast difference!
“Thank you so much, Big Sister Duanmu,” Huang Xiaolong said with a teasing smile.
“Tsk tsk, little brother, your ntal resilience is really strong. If others offended Mo Shaoxin, they would definitely be terrified out of their wits,” Duanmu Wei remarked.
“Big Sister Duanmu, are we going to that Lan Yue Pavilion gathering now?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
“Yes, why not! If we don’t go, wouldn’t that be showing weakness to that scoundrel Mo Shaoxin? Little brother, let’s go!” Duanmu Wei’s eyes glead with excitent.
Such a gathering would see many geniuses from the Hidden Dragon List converge, sparking brilliant monts!
Duanmu Wei, being competitive by nature and having recently advanced to the mid-stage of Crossing Calamity Realm, naturally wanted to make a strong impression!
Side by side, the two headed towards the gathering place, the “Lan Yue Pavilion.”
“Little brother, the host of Lan Yue Pavilion, known as ‘Old Man Lan Yue,’ is a powerful figure, a beginner of the Heavenly Phase Realm, unfathomable. He especially likes to befriend youthful talents,” Duanmu Wei explained along the way. “Being invited to a gathering at Lan Yue Pavilion ans that every attendee is an exceptional individual.”
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “Big Sister Duanmu, I guess I’m really benefiting from your influence.”
“Hehe~ little brother, you don’t have to sell yourself short. Being able to kill two mid-stage Divine Skills cultivators effortlessly and with such composure is enough to garner respect,” Duanmu Wei said earnestly.
Soon, the two arrived at a large courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard hung a signboard with the words “Lan Yue Pavilion” written in extrely sloppy handwriting. The strokes were forceful yet carried an air of casual unconcern, showing that the writer was a carefree individual.
The doors were slightly ajar, emitting a dim light from within.
“Little brother, we’ve arrived at Lan Yue Pavilion, let’s go inside. Rember, don’t talk loudly. It’s against the rules,” Duanmu Wei whispered a reminder. “Also, you’ll et many defiant geniuses, and there might be so who rank even higher than Mo Shaoxin on the Hidden Dragon List. Try not to provoke them too much. Of course, if they are overly oppressive and cause trouble without reason, your big sister will stand up for you.”
“Hmm,” Huang Xiaolong simply nodded and did not say much.
The two entered through the gate.
Inside was a path paved with blue stone tiles, creating an aura of a secluded path in a deep valley, with an exceptionally quiet and pleasant environnt, surrounded by lush bamboo, small bridges, and flowing water. The air was filled with a faintly intoxicating mist, irresistibly alluring. Walking along, one’s mood could beco calm and peaceful.
As they walked, they passed a grove of trees, and a large lake appeared ahead. In the middle of the lake was a small island, where a pavilion was built, connected by several arch bridges.
At this point, faint sounds of flute music and voices could be heard coming from the pavilion in the lake.
“We’ve arrived,” Duanmu Wei nodded at Huang Xiaolong. “Little brother, don’t be nervous, let’s go straight over.”
Huang Xiaolong thought to himself, I’m not nervous at all!
“Alright, Big Sister Duanmu,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
The two stepped onto an arch bridge and walked toward the pavilion in the center of the lake.
Just at that mont, a subtle yet powerful fluctuation of mana surged from afar to nearby in the sky, accompanied by the popping sounds of air being crushed!
Duanmu Wei frowned slightly, and Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but look up.
He saw a luxurious carriage appearing out of thin air, drawn by two giant ancient elephants, both mighty and unlike any species seen in Huaxia’s central plains, emitting a faint demonic aura—clearly, they were elephant demons!
‘What strange and fantastic things this overseas world has…’ Huang Xiaolong marveled.
Atop the carriage stood a young man in a yellow robe, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance with an air of arrogance, his deanor regal, seemingly disregarding everyone.
Huang Xiaolong recognized at a glance that this person was at the mid-phase of the Tribulation Passing Realm, yet his mana was sowhat stronger and more virile than Mo Shaoxin’s.
Behind the yellow-robed youth stood two old servants, their presence deep and vast, clearly early-phase Tribulation Passing Realm experts.
“Wow, Big Sister Duanmu, this guy has quite the style,” Huang Xiaolong said with a casual smile.
“Little brother, this person is Han Shaozhang, ranked 15th on the Hidden Dragon List. Proud by nature, but indeed has the capital to be proud. He is from Yandang Mountain,” Duanmu Wei explained by his side.
Whizz~~ Whizz~~~
In an instant, the celestial carriage shrank into a palm-sized model amidst a flurry of radiant light, including the ancient elephants, all absorbed by Han Shaozhang into a Jade Pendant.
Han Shaozhang, accompanied by the two old servants, directly stepped into the air and entered the pavilion.
“Hahaha~~ Duanmu, you’re here too?” Another robust male voice rang out, and a mass of dark clouds gathered rapidly from afar. Atop the clouds stood a black-robed youth with a fierce scar on his face, giving him an extrely sinister look. He was also at the mid-phase of the Tribulation Passing Realm, smiling down at Duanmu Wei with a hint of mockery.
The dark clouds moved swiftly, covering the pavilion in the blink of an eye. The black-robed youth suddenly opened his mouth wide, sucking in the clouds under his feet like a whale swallowing water.
“Little brother, this is ‘Lei Qianceng,’ the current young master of ‘Ten Thousand Demons Island,’ ranked 17th on the Hidden Dragon List. He is domineering, ambiguous in morality, and acts solely based on his preferences. Recently, he has been very prominent, frequently challenging experts of major sects, and gaining rapid improvents in cultivation and combat experience through battles. He declared he would break into the top ten in this Hidden Dragon List competition, his ambition is huge—this person is no less inferior than Han Shaozhang!”
Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly.
“Han Shaozhang, Lei Qianceng~~ and Mo Shaoxin, tonight surely will be lively, wonder how many more talents will co to Lan Yue Building,” Duanmu Wei mumbled.
At this mont, Huang Xiaolong too felt that her confidence seed insufficient.
Perhaps even Duanmu Wei hadn’t expected so many top-ranked talents to gather tonight!
Duanmu Wei herself was ranked beyond the twentieth place on the Hidden Dragon List; even if she had improved, her foundation inevitably seed sowhat ager.
By this ti, Lei Qianceng, looking down at Duanmu Wei and Huang Xiaolong, had a mocking light in his eye. “Yo, Duanmu, you brought a pretty boy to the gathering this ti? Who is this to you? Hahaha~~ Such a weakling, he might get squeezed out later.”
“Lei Qianceng, you’re being too nosy,” Duanmu Wei stood her ground.
“Hahaha~~ Just stating the facts,” Lei Qianceng laughed, then, with a slight motion, he entered the pavilion.
Boom~~ Boom~~ Boom~~~
Several terrifying auras then flew into the pavilion over the lake.
One of the auras stayed above the heads of Huang Xiaolong and Duanmu Wei, spreading out—it was a valiant young man clad in silver armor, carrying a golden spear on his back. His spirit was high, “Duanmu, last ti I lost to you by half a move, this year I will challenge you again. I’ve been in seclusion for months, my killing move is ready, you better be careful!”
“Yin Ma, you lost to last ti, and you will lose again this ti,” said Duanmu Wei proudly. “You’ve been training hard in seclusion, but so have I. Moreover, I’ve already reached the mid-phase of the Tribulation Passing Realm, while you’re still in the early phase. The gap between us is growing!”
“Realm doesn’t represent combat ability, especially for talents like us. Challenging those above our level is as simple as drinking water and eating,” Yin Ma raised an eyebrow and then turned into a shadow, entering the pavilion.
“Little brother, this is Yin Ma, ranked 28th on the Hidden Dragon List, very combative. He has fought with several tis and was defeated, but he never admits defeat,” Duanmu Wei quickly introduced.
As they talked, the two had already reached the end of the arch bridge and stepped onto a small island covered with bamboo. The pavilion was right in front of them.
“Miss Duanmu has arrived, sorry for not welcoming you sooner,” a servant at the early phase of Divine Skills realm ca forward, bowing. “Miss Duanmu, all the talented individuals have gathered, please, please~~~”
“Hmm,” Duanmu Wei nodded slightly, neither humble nor haughty, then turned to Huang Xiaolong and said, “Little brother, let’s go in!”
