Invincible Over the World
Chapter 2110 - 2102: Found the Scripture Hidden Demon TabletIn the blink of an eye, the group arrived at the city ahead.
"Boundless City!" Cang Mutian muttered, then briefly introduced the situation of Boundless City to Huang Xiaolong and the others: "This Boundless City stands at the boundary between Cloud Sea Domain and Cold Water Domain, spanning both regions."
"Because Boundless City spans two regions, one person from each domain is sent to jointly govern this city."
As Cang Mutian introduced, the group entered Boundless City.
After entering Boundless City, Huang Xiaolong did not linger and headed directly to where the Scripture Hidden Demon Tablet was located.
Boundless City, straddling two domains, is the most important fortress between Cloud Sea Domain and Cold Water Domain, bustling with commerce and powerful entities from all sides. Huang Xiaolong and the others observed that the shops along the streets and the trade markets were extremely lively, bustling with activity.
However, as they sensed the location of the Scripture Hidden Demon Tablet, Huang Xiaolong and the others felt the surroundings grow increasingly deserted, until finally the streets were almost devoid of passersby.
This was perhaps the most secluded corner of Boundless City. Though the city was bustling, not every corner was like this.
Huang Xiaolong stopped in front of a mansion in the northernmost part of Boundless City.
The mansion was already in ruins, with weeds growing over its courtyard walls. However, the mansion was quite large, and one could vaguely discern its former grandeur and magnificence.
At the entrance of the mansion stood two gigantic stone-carved dragon lions, though they were also covered with layers of dust.
"Is the Scripture Hidden Demon Tablet hidden here?" Golden Horned Little Bull asked, somewhat puzzled.
Having arrived here, she could not sense the demonic qi of the Scripture Hidden Demon Tablet, and even after using her Heavenly Eye earlier, she found nothing.
Cang Mutian and Flying Demon Python were equally puzzled.
Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, "It’s right inside!"
The intuition of the Five Great Demon Steles naturally could not be wrong.
"Let’s go in." Huang Xiaolong, Golden Horned Little Bull, and the others walked inside without any obstruction, as there were no guards at the entrance. They soon reached the front hall of the mansion.
"Who are you looking for?" At this moment, an elderly figure resembling a housekeeper emerged from the inner hall. The old man’s face was lean, with bright, sharp eyes.
Seeing this housekeeper-like figure, Huang Xiaolong nodded, "Peak of Stage Ten Late Stage Heavenly Monarch, just one step away from entering Great Emperor Realm."
The housekeeper’s expression changed, then darkened, "Are you sent by the Cloud Sea City Lord Mansion?"
Boundless City had two city lords, hence there were two city lord mansions: one was the Cloud Sea City Lord Mansion, and the other the Shui Han City Lord Mansion.
"Go back and tell your Young City Lord, we are not selling this mansion!" the housekeeper retorted.
Huang Xiaolong, Golden Horned Little Bull, and the others were taken aback.
"We aren’t from the Cloud Sea City Lord Mansion," Huang Xiaolong shook his head.
The housekeeper was stunned, and then suspiciously stared at Huang Xiaolong and the others, evidently disbelieving Huang Xiaolong.
"Elder Peng, Sui Wenhui, have you not thought it through?" At this moment, an arrogant voice sounded, and Huang Xiaolong and the others looked over to see a young man leading a group of people inside. Judging by their attire, they should be the so-called Young City Lord from the Cloud Sea City Lord Mansion and experts from the mansion.
Seeing the newcomers, Housekeeper Elder Peng’s expression changed.
At this moment, a young man stormed out from the inner courtyard, his face full of anger as he looked at the Young City Lord from the Cloud Sea City Lord Mansion: "Young City Lord Xing, we told you three days ago that this mansion was left to me by my grandfather, and I would rather die than sell it!"
"Really, you’d rather die than sell?" Young City Lord Xing from the Cloud Sea Mansion sneered, "Since you wish to die, I shall grant your wish!" Saying this, he pointed to a middle-aged man behind him, "This is one of our four housekeepers in the Cloud Sea Mansion, surely you’ve heard of them!"
Eyes widening in fear, Elder Peng and the young man Sui Wenhui turned pale. The four housekeepers of Cloud Sea Mansion were all Ancestors in the Great Emperor Realm, even the weakest among them being a formidable Great Emperor First Stage Late Stage expert.
Young City Lord Xing of Cloud Sea Mansion gestured to that housekeeper, "Go, kill Elder Peng and Sui Wenhui, but allow their bodies to remain intact. Also, dispose of these others while you’re at it!"
Though unaware of who Huang Xiaolong and the others were, he felt there was no need to know.
"Yes, Young City Lord!" The housekeeper replied respectfully, then walked towards Huang Xiaolong, Sui Wenhui, and the others.
"Boy, prepare to die!" he sneered coldly, throwing a punch that enveloped Huang Xiaolong and Sui Wenhui’s group, intending to deal with them all in one blow.
As the devastating fist power surged, Sui Wenhui and Housekeeper Peng were stricken with terror, their faces filled with despair.
Yet, at that moment, a crimson giant tongue suddenly shot out, instantly wrapping around the housekeeper and whisking him away.
Everyone was stunned, staring at the mouth of Flying Demon Python, with half of the housekeeper’s body still visible.
With a flicker in its throat, Flying Demon Python swallowed the housekeeper whole, a scream resonating from within its body.
The Cloud Sea Mansion’s experts were left in shock.
After a long while, Young City Lord Xing of Cloud Sea Mansion was filled with fear, his entire body tense and cold.
"Who are you?" he stammered.
"You aren’t qualified to know who we are. Now you have one breath’s time to get out of our sight," Golden Horned Little Bull said coldly.
Young City Lord Xing’s expression changed wildly, but ultimately said nothing, hastily retreating with his followers.
Once Young City Lord Xing and others fled, Housekeeper Peng and Sui Wenhui finally regained their senses.
"Thank you, seniors and lord, for saving us!" They approached Huang Xiaolong, their demeanor timid, especially Housekeeper Peng, who was anxious and uneasy.
"No need for thanks. There’s something I need in your mansion, and I’ve come for it," Huang Xiaolong said bluntly, directly stating his purpose: "Is it convenient?"
"Absolutely!" Sui Wenhui nodded rapidly, knowing Huang Xiaolong was just being polite, for how could they refuse given Huang Xiaolong’s strength?
Huang Xiaolong nodded and led Golden Horned Little Bull and the others towards the inner courtyard, eventually stopping at a courtyard called Scripture Pavilion within the mansion.
Sui Wenhui was puzzled as he saw Huang Xiaolong arriving at their Sui Mansion’s Scripture Pavilion. Their mansion had long declined, the pavilion now merely a decoration with hardly any secret manuals left inside, leaving him wondering why Huang Xiaolong was there.
Huang Xiaolong reached a stele in front of the pavilion. The stele was half-exposed above ground, with its lower half buried, its appearance obscured by dirt and grime.
Golden Horned Little Bull and Cang Mutian exchanged glances, wondering if this could really be the Scripture Hidden Demon Tablet. They scrutinized the stele, unable to discern any resemblance to a demon tablet.
With a flick of Huang Xiaolong’s single hand, the stele burst forth from the ground, suddenly emitting a radiant brilliance. The dirt covering it shook off completely, as an astonishing aura erupted from the stele.
(These days, settling into the new residence has kept me busy, updates will be made depending on circumstances, attempting to maintain a continuous flow)
