Chapter 2218 - 2210: Someone from the Black Demon Sect?

After more than an hour, Huang Xiaolong left the Hidden Book Academy and returned to the Embroidery Pavilion.

Cross-legged on the bed, Huang Xiaolong began to plan for the future.

In the collection of books at the Hidden Book Academy of the Qian Prince Mansion, he learned that every ten thousand years or so, the Beidou Sword Sect, Annihilation Valley, and Nine Heavens Sect of the Biluo Dynasty would recruit disciples.

Calculating the days, in half a year it would be the day the Beidou Sword Sect recruits new disciples. Although the sect only recruits one hundred disciples each time with very strict selection, Huang Xiaolong is one hundred percent confident in being accepted.

However, Huang Xiaolong’s ambition does not lie here.

Although the Beidou Sword Sect is a Supreme Sect with unparalleled prestige in the Biluo Dynasty, and especially supreme in the Jinyuan Kingdom, it is nothing in the Tian Niu Li Continent where there are stronger Supreme Sects than Beidou Sword Sect.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong’s plan is to join the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect!

Once accepted into Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, he would become a child of the Saint Sect!

With the identity of a Saint Sect child, Huang Xiaolong would find many conveniences in the Zhuoyuan Sacred Land.

Although the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect’s recruitment is even stricter than Beidou Sword Sect, Huang Xiaolong, with his Three Great Dao Saint Forms, Three Great Holy Veins, and Holy Body talent, is absolutely qualified to enter Zhuoyuan Saint Sect!

As long as he joins the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect and gains access to its resources for cultivation, Huang Xiaolong believes he can quickly break through to the Supreme Realm!

Moreover, Huang Xiaolong has reasons to join Zhuoyuan Saint Sect because he possesses part of Wan Zhuoyuan’s ancestral memories, and even though it’s only part, Huang Xiaolong is well aware of many secrets of the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect.

Additionally, Wan Zhuoyuan left behind a treasure in his past life in Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, containing countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Elixirs and even Saint-level Elixirs. Once he joins Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, he will have the opportunity to find Wan Zhuoyuan’s treasure, and with those elixirs, Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds!

However, before joining Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, he must focus on healing his injuries in the coming years.

The Jinyuan Kingdom is very far from where the Exalted Sacred Sect is located, nearly spanning half of the Sacred Land, and particularly involves traversing a few dangerous territories. Without regaining a certain level of strength, he cannot possibly reach the Exalted Sacred Sect.

After making his decision, Huang Xiaolong gathered his thoughts and began to propel the Primordial Parasitic Technique in cultivation.

Instantly, the Three Great Dao Saint Forms activated, and strands of Holy Spirit Qi continually descended from the void, then surged into Huang Xiaolong’s body through the top of his head.

Before long, streams of Primordial Qi escaped from Huang Xiaolong’s body, condensing into small purple dragons of Primordial Chaos, endlessly coiling around Huang Xiaolong’s entire body.

However, these small purple dragons of Primordial Chaos were extremely thin, weaker than a baby’s pinky finger.

As the Holy Spirit Qi continued to flood into Huang Xiaolong’s body, his internal organs began to slowly solidify, and the Divine Veins devastated by space thunderstorms started to gradually heal.

The blood marks on Huang Xiaolong’s body and face continued to fade.

One night passed.

When the sunlight shone into the courtyard, Huang Xiaolong finally stopped.

After a night of cultivation, Huang Xiaolong’s injuries improved significantly again.

Huang Xiaolong touched the blood marks on his face, which were almost completely gone, although there were still some traces. They should disappear entirely after another day.

At this moment, outside the Qian Prince Mansion, Young Master Zhang Haochen welcomed his friend Little General Chen into the mansion, arranging for him at the Wind and Mist Courtyard close to the Embroidery Pavilion.

Seeing it was not the Embroidery Pavilion but the Wind and Mist Courtyard, Little General Chen Wei felt curious: "Brother Haochen, do you have esteemed guests residing in the Embroidery Pavilion?"

Zhang Haochen’s expression became awkward as he briefly explained Huang Xiaolong’s situation.

"Oh, mysterious identity, saved when Divine Veins destroyed and Divine Sea shattered! Yet a few days later could severely injure an Initial Stage Expert of God King Realm Third Rank Late Stage?" Chen Wei was astonished: "How bizarre!"

Zhang Haochen nodded: "Indeed, some strange things. These days, I’ve had people investigate this lad’s identity, but they couldn’t find his origins at all."

Chen Wei pondered: "Even you couldn’t find out?" Suddenly, he thought of something, his expression became serious: "Could it be someone from the Black Demon Cult?!"

"What! Black Demon Cult!" Zhang Haochen’s face changed.

The Black Demon Cult is one of the largest evil forces in the Jinyuan Kingdom, and also the force the King of Jinyuan most wishes to eliminate. However, the Black Demon Cult’s roots in the Jinyuan Kingdom are deep and complex, making it impossible to eradicate.

Anyone mentioning the Black Demon Cult in the Jinyuan Kingdom would change their expressions in shock.

Chen Wei nodded: "It’s not impossible. Over the years, experts from the Black Demon Cult frequently disguise themselves as severely injured, then infiltrate our Jinyuan Kingdom’s major families and noble mansions! If this person is truly an expert of the Black Demon Cult, then Brother Haochen, you must be careful not to let this person trouble your entire Qian Prince Mansion!"

"I heard Prince Long has been advising His Majesty recently, suggesting that your Qian Prince Mansion is secretly colluding with the Black Demon Cult, intending to rebel. His Majesty has already lost some trust in your Qian Prince Mansion!"

Zhang Haochen’s face changed again.

"What does Brother Chen Wei suggest?" Zhang Haochen asked.

Chen Wei contemplated: "It’s best to capture this person first and interrogate him rigorously. If he’s not from the Black Demon Cult, so much the better. If he is, then your Qian Prince Mansion can hand him over to the Royal Palace and His Majesty for disposition, demonstrating your loyalty!"

Zhang Haochen’s eyes brightened, nodding: "Brother Chen Wei is right. This person’s origins are unknown, and indeed we cannot allow him to remain in the mansion. However, this person is not weak. I estimate his strength approaches the Heavenly Monarch, perhaps even an Initial Stage Expert. Capturing him successfully will be difficult."

Chen Wei said: "Then report to your father, Prince Qian, and have him request several Guest Elders of your mansion to take action together!"

Zhang Haochen nodded. If the mansion’s several Guest Elders joined forces, it would certainly be fine.

"But my sister?" Zhang Haochen hesitated.

"Your father’s personal order, does your sister dare to obstruct? Furthermore, perhaps your sister has already been bewitched by this person or even fallen under the Black Demon Cult’s Enchanting Divine Skill. I heard the Cult’s skill is incredibly potent, leaving the afflicted indistinguishable from normal people," Chen Wei said. "If your sister really fell prey to the opponent’s skill, then your actions would save your sister and the Qian Prince Mansion!"

Zhang Haochen nodded, stood up: "Brother Chen Wei, you rest for now, I’ll report to my father!"

"Alright!"

After a while, Zhang Haochen found his father, Prince Qian, reported Huang Xiaolong’s situation to him, and shared his concerns.

Prince Qian nodded: "You did well in this matter. This person’s origins are unclear, with Divine Veins destroyed and Divine Sea shattered, yet he could suddenly severely injure Housekeeper Wang, indeed suspicious. Go, convey my order, summon several Guest Elders, and deploy all guards in the mansion to go with me to the Embroidery Pavilion!"
