Chapter 2219 - 2211: We Cannot Let Him Escape

"Yes, Father!" Zhang Haochen responded with an excited expression, and then went off to convey his father’s orders, summoning the prince mansion’s several guest elders and the elite guards.

Very soon, all the guest elders and the elite guards of the prince mansion were gathered.

Prince Qian briefly explained the situation about Huang Xiaolong, and solemnly said, "This person is highly likely a member of the Black Demon Sect, so this time, we must succeed in capturing him and not let him escape!"

The middle-aged man in the light yellow brocade robe at the front proudly said, "Please rest assured, even if the person is an expert at the Heavenly Monarch Fourth Stage Early Stage, I am confident I can capture him!"

This middle-aged man was Master Yin of the prince mansion, also the strongest among the prince mansion’s guest elders. Though also at the Heavenly Monarch Fourth Stage Early Stage, he had cultivated some secret techniques and dominator-level cultivation techniques, enabling him to easily defeat others of the same rank.

Prince Qian smiled: "Then I’ll trouble Master Yin, and after capturing him, I’ll reward you according to merit!"

"You are too polite, Prince. It is our duty to contribute to the mansion!" Master Yin replied with a smile.

The other guest elders quickly chimed in with agreement.

Immediately, Prince Qian led the elite of the prince mansion towards the Embroidery Pavilion.

While Prince Qian led the elite towards the Embroidery Pavilion, Zhang Wenyue received a report from her maid and rushed over with a changed expression on her charming face.

...

Sensing the murderous aura from the prince mansion, Huang Xiaolong got up from the bed with an indifferent expression and stepped out of the room into the middle of the courtyard.

As soon as Huang Xiaolong stood firm in the courtyard, Prince Qian brought the elite of the prince mansion rushing in, surrounding all around the courtyard with guards and archers from the mansion.

The bows and arrows were not ordinary; each arrow was engraved with ancient runes, drawn by high-level Divine King Realm experts, capable of penetrating the defenses of standard Heavenly Monarch Early Stage experts.

Huang Xiaolong calmly looked at Prince Qian, Zhang Haochen, and the elite rushing in.

Prince Qian’s gaze fell upon Huang Xiaolong, observing him standing with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowing.

"Is it him?" Prince Qian asked his son Zhang Haochen beside him.

Zhang Haochen said, "It should be him." Actually, he hadn’t seen Huang Xiaolong before either.

Prince Qian stared at Huang Xiaolong’s face, noting the faint scars, and coldly said, "Are you Huang Xiaolong, the one my daughter brought back? Speak, what is your intention in pretending to be severely injured to infiltrate my Prince Qian Mansion?"

"Intention?" Huang Xiaolong chuckled indifferently, glancing around, "In my eyes, your so-called Prince Qian Mansion is no different from a slum. I can’t imagine what your Prince Qian could have that would warrant my desires!"

This Embroidery Pavilion was an important courtyard of Prince Qian Mansion, but in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, the spirit wood and jade building it were mere trash not worth having.

For Huang Xiaolong, who lived in the Blue Dragon Divine Country in the Lower Realm, indeed, this Prince Qian Mansion was no different from a slum.

However, Prince Qian, Zhang Haochen, and the others were suddenly enraged.

"Audacious!" Zhang Haochen’s eyes turned cold, "Do you think we don’t know you’re from the Black Demon Sect? Speak! What is your position in the Black Demon Sect? Are you the Incense Master? Did you sneak in to steal the Coiling Dragon Sword from Prince Qian Mansion?!"

The Coiling Dragon Sword was a treasured sword of Prince Qian Mansion, bestowed by a former king of the Jinyuan Kingdom. Though not a Primordial Treasure, it was a High Grade Chaotic Spirit Artifact.

"Coiling Dragon Sword?" Huang Xiaolong shook his head with a smile, slightly amused at the overestimation.

Having perused books in the Hidden Book Academy, he knew the Coiling Dragon Sword of Prince Qian Mansion was a High Grade Chaotic Spirit Artifact. However, now even a Supreme Spiritual Treasure didn’t catch Huang Xiaolong’s eye, much less a Chaotic Spirit Artifact.

To Huang Xiaolong, a Chaotic Spirit Artifact was no different from scrap metal.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong shake his head with a mocking smile, Zhang Haochen grew furious, ready to strike with his sword.

Though not as strong as his sister Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen was a skilled expert at the God King Tenth Stage Middle Stage.

"Young Master, you are of golden physique; there’s no need for you to act. Let us handle such Black Demon Sect spies!" At this, Master Yin of the prince mansion spoke up.

Zhang Haochen then paused.

Master Yin and the other guest elders looked to Prince Qian, seeking his intentions.

Prince Qian nodded.

Master Yin and the others advanced, surrounding Huang Xiaolong.

Just as Master Yin and the others were about to strike, suddenly, Zhang Wenyue rushed in with her maid: "Stop!"

Master Yin and the others paused.

"Father, this—Young Master Huang is my guest!" Zhang Wenyue hastily spoke as she came to her father’s side.

Prince Qian furrowed his brows: "Yue’er, this person’s identity is unclear. First, he pretended to be gravely injured for you to rescue, then he attacked Housekeeper Wang. His actions are suspicious and suggest he is highly likely from the Black Demon Sect. What I’m doing is for the safety of you and our Prince Qian Mansion!"

He softened his tone, "Rest assured, if he is found not to be from the Black Demon Sect after capturing him, I will release him."

But Zhang Wenyue shook her head, her beautiful eyes firm: "Young Master Huang is definitely not from the Black Demon Sect! I trust him!"

Seeing this, Prince Qian’s face turned cold: "Confused by right and wrong, it seems you’re truly enchanted by this boy’s enchanting divine skills!" Turning to Master Yin and the others, he commanded, "Act!"

Master Yin and the others responded respectfully.

Zhang Wenyue was anxious, attempting to stop them, but Prince Qian reached out with one hand to restrain her. As a prince of Jinyuan Kingdom, he was a Middle Stage Heavenly Monarch himself.

"Ho!"

Master Yin and the others thrust their swords simultaneously at Huang Xiaolong.

Watching the incoming swords, Huang Xiaolong did not dodge.

"Clang!"

The sound of swords hitting Huang Xiaolong’s chest, Prince Qian, Zhang Haochen, and the others couldn’t help but reveal joy, while Zhang Wenyue’s face turned pale.

Yet quickly, Prince Qian, Zhang Haochen, and the others’ smiles stiffened. They saw Master Yin and the others’ swords break into countless pieces, as they were forcefully flung back, crashing into the surrounding courtyard walls and rockery.

"What!?" Prince Qian, Zhang Haochen, and all the guards were in shocked disbelief.

Huang Xiaolong brushed the dust off his chest, his expression cold, walking towards Prince Qian and Zhang Haochen.

"Release arrows!" Prince Qian shouted in alarm.

Immediately, the archers surrounding the courtyard walls released thousands of talisman arrows engraved with symbols, raining down towards Huang Xiaolong like a storm.

Huang Xiaolong waved his hand casually, dispersing the talisman arrows as they neared him, turning into a cloud of powder around him, piling thickly on the ground.

Prince Qian, Zhang Haochen, and the others were rendered dumbfounded.

Huang Xiaolong stepped forward, arriving in front of Prince Qian and Zhang Haochen.
