Chapter 314: Saint King’s Junior Brother?
Invincible!
To the point of immortality!
Hearing
Sun Haoran’s excessive praise of the Ghost King Sutra, Huang Xiaolong
couldn’t help smiling inwardly, that year when he got the Asura Tactics,
his Master Ren Wokuang also wrote on the first page of the manualーAsura Tactics, Invincible Throughout!
Through
many years of cultivation, Huang Xiaolong understood one thing, the
cultivation technique wasn’t the most important aspect, but the person
themselves.
“Then, do you know what stage the Ghost King managed to reach in his lifetime?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
Sun
Haoran explained, “It was said, that year, Senior Ghost King reached
the seventh stage of the Ghost King Sutra. Although it was only the
seventh stage, amongst the six kings, Senior Ghost King’s strength was
ranked second, even the third-ranked Senior Herculean King was once
defeated by the Ghost King. If Senior Ghost King reached the eighth
stage, perhaps even Senior Saint King wouldn’t have been his opponent!”
Saint King! The number one master of the ancient era!
Huang
Xiaolong was secretly shocked, he didn’t expect this so-called Ghost
King Sutra to be so amazing, merely at the seventh stage, the Ghost King
secured the second position amongst the six famous kings during that
time.
“Have you heard about an Eminent Holiness during that time?” Suddenly a thought struck Huang Xiaolong, he asked Sun Haoran.
“Eminent
Holiness!” Sun Haoran had an astonished expression on his face looking
at Huang Xiaolong, “I didn’t expect that Brother would know about
Eminent Holiness. In fact, this Eminent Holiness was the Saint King’s
Junior Brother.”
“Saint King’s Junior
Brother?!” It was Huang Xiaolong’s turn to be surprised. The leader of
the six kings, Saint King’s Junior Brother! Huang Xiaolong did guess the
Eminent Holiness would be a famous master in his own right, but the
Eminent Holiness being the Saint King’s Junior Brother seemed beyond his imagination.
Sun
Haoran nodded, “That’s right, the Eminent Holiness was indeed the Saint
King’s Junior Brother. It was by coincidence that I found this
information, flipping through an old ancient record, because Eminent
Holiness preferred to stay hidden in the mountains, rarely showing up in
public, thus during the ancient time, not many people knew about him.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded, so it was like this.
“Still, as the Junior Brother of the Saint King, his strength should be quite strong as well.” Sun Haoran added.
Both
conversed as they flew. However, Sun Haoran knew very little about
Eminent Holiness and had no other information to offer to Huang
Xiaolong.
Along the way, both of them came
across many scenes of sect disciples fighting for treasures, but they
neither stop nor interfere in these battles. Inside the Ghost King
Palace, killings and slaughters were everywhere, even if they had the
heart to care, it was an endless burden.
Huang
Xiaolong looked at the corpses littered on the streets along the way,
shaking his head; everyone in this world knew that life was more
important than anything, yet in this world, how many people could
actually really see and understand?
Birds die for food and humans die for wealth.
Sun
Haoran and Huang Xiaolong flew for two hours, but despite that their
speed, they didn’t even cover a tenth of the vast Ghost King Palace.
At
one point, Sun Haoran stopped, taking out a piece of map from his
sleeves. Checking the aged yellow map, a finger pointed to a spot on the
map, “In front should be the Ghost Temple, one of the places the Ghost
King used as a cultivation place. Brother Huang, should we go and take a
look there?”
Huang Xiaolong nodded in
agreement, “Good.” After all, he wasn’t familiar with this Ghost King
Palace and since that Ghost Temple was one of the places where the Ghost
King cultivated in the past, there was bound to be something valuable
inside.
Seeing that Huang Xiaolong agreed,
Sun Haoran flew up, leading the way to the Ghost God Temple. No more
than ten minutes later, from afar, both of them could see the outline of
the Ghost Temple.
Above the temple, dense
ghost aura condensed into pillows of ghost clouds. From afar, one could
hear the shrill cries coming from these ghost clouds, penetrating the
soul.
When the two of them got closer to
Ghost Temple, they heard echoes of battle and loud, angry voices. It
seems there were some people who arrived at Ghost Temple before them.
“This
is… Third Senior Brother’s voice!” When Sun Haoran heard one of the
voices, his face tightened, “Third Senior Brother’s in danger!” He
rushed towards the scene with Huang Xiaolong.
Arriving
on the fighting scene seconds later, they saw a red-robed middle-aged
man with a light goatee besieged by two middle-aged men clad in blue
robes.
On the chest of the red-robed man,
there was a similar two-headed mythical beast pattern just like Sun
Haoran’s, identifying him to be Sun Haoran’s Third Senior Brother. Other
than the three people fighting, not far away, there was a pair of young
man and woman watching the battle, from the looks of things, they were
on the same side as the two middle-aged men in blue robes.
“Snow
Dragon City’s people!” Sun Haoran’s expression grew grim the instant he
saw the two middle-aged men and the pair of young disciples.
Snow Dragon City!
Huang
Xiaolong blanked, looking carefully, he noticed the white dragon emblem
on the two middle-aged men’s sleeves. Snow Dragon City was one of the
top ten cities in the Bedlam Lands, ranking above Millennium City. Its
City Castellan, Silver Dragon Ao Gu was quite formidable.
‘That pair of young people must be Silver Dragon Ao Gu’s disciples,’ Huang Xiaolong thought to himself, ‘while those two middle-aged men were probably guards.’
At
this point, Sun Haoran’s Third Senior Brother, Peng Feng, received a
full force punch to his shoulder, a low grunt escaped his mouth. His
entire body was thrown back, blood flowing out the corner of his lips.
“Third
Senior Brother!” Sun Haoran cried out, jumping into the fray with a
punch aimed at the same blue-robed middle-aged man who attacked.
Although he wasn’t clear why his Third Senior Brother had a conflict
with the people from Snow Dragon City, at this kind of situation, he
couldn’t bother with the smaller details.
The
power of Sun Haoran’s punch forced the middle-aged man to retreat,
while Peng Feng seized the opportunity to punch the other middle-aged
man. Suddenly, the battle came to a standstill.
“Fourth
Junior Brother, run quickly!” However, Peng Feng felt no joy seeing Sun
Haoran appear. Instead, he blurted out an anxious warning, looking
extremely agitated. If it was his Senior Brother, perhaps both of them
could retreat safely, but Fourth Junior Brother’s strength was slightly
weaker than his. As for that black-haired young man with his Fourth
Junior Brother, although Peng Feng didn’t know who the young man might
be, he was still only a peak late-Xiantian Tenth Order and was of no
help at all.
“Run? Since you’re here, don’t
dream of leaving!” The pair of young people approached and the young
woman sneered. Huang Xiaolong’s guess was right on the gold, this young
man and woman pair were Snow Dragon City Castellan Silver Dragon Ao Gu’s
disciples, the young man was called Du Huagang and the young woman was
Li Li, the two blue-robed middle-aged men were indeed their guards.
Regardless, all four of them were powerful, all four were half-Saints.
Li
Li walked over, her eyes taking a quick glance over Huang Xiaolong and
Sun Haoran, not putting either one of them in her eyes. Sneering at Peng
Feng, she said: “Peng Feng, in this time’s Ghost City’s appearance,
your Millennium City should never have come.” Shaking her head
sorrowfully with a heartache expression, Li Li continued, “Pity, ah, six
of you master-disciples will all be buried here in Ghost City! One
month later, Millennium City’s name will be erased from the Bedlam
Lands, forever!”
Sun Haoran paled at these
words. The meaning of these words, was Snow Dragon City plotting against
Millennium City? Or… Were the City of Myriad Gods and Snow Dragon City
working together in this?
That Du Huagang spoke, “The two of you go and deal with the both of them, leave that brat to me.”
“Yes!”
The two blue-robed middle-aged men answered respectfully, immediately
launching attacks on Peng Feng and Sun Haoran, whereas Du Huagang was
walking towards Huang Xiaolong, the one seemingly easiest to deal with.
