Chapter 2322: The Enmity of Annihilated Clan

Di Huai remained silent to the other party’s question, instead coldly staring at the other, “I never thought I’d run into you here, Fan Xia. All these years, I have longed to devour your bones, feast on your flesh, and refine your soul!”

The Truth Saint Fan Xia simply chuckled, “I say, Di Huai, we are old friends after all. It’s rare for old friends to meet, can’t you say something pleasant?” Then, he turned to the young man who had previously ridiculed Huang Xiaolong, “Yunjie, this is the old man Di Huai that I often talked to you about.”

The young man, Fu Yunjie, stepped forward upon hearing this, saluting with a mocking smile, “So you are the Di Huai Senior that my master often mentions. Oh wait, I mean old man Di Huai.”

His words were full of ridicule, lacking any fear or respect.

Truth Saint Fan Xia interjected, “Yunjie, you mustn’t be rude. This old man Di Huai is a master at the peak of Holy Realm First Layer Heaven.” Though he was advising, there was no reproach in his tone.

“Yes, yes, Master is right.” Fu Yunjie quickly replied, “It is my disrespect.”

Huang Xiaolong watched the master and disciple put on their little show, his eyes narrowing, wondering about the enmity between Truth Saint Fan Xia and Senior Di Huai.

From then until now, the killing intent in Di Huai’s gaze towards the Truth Saint hadn’t changed, it remained blazing.

Truth Saint Fan Xia seemed oblivious to Di Huai’s murderous glare and introduced, “Di Huai, this is my direct disciple and the leading Saint Heir of our Truth Sacred Land, Fu Yunjie. Let me tell you, my direct disciple possesses the Sacred Emblem of Maitreya Buddha!”

Truth Saint Fan Xia’s voice was loud, his expression prideful during the introduction.

“What?! Sacred Emblem of Maitreya Buddha!”

Nearby experts passing by exclaimed in shock upon hearing Fan Xia’s introduction, turning to glare at Fu Yunjie.

The Sacred Emblem of Maitreya Buddha, ranked sixty-eighth among Enlightenment Saint Realms!

Sixty-eight!

Such talent is indeed rare.

Enlightenment Saint Realms within the top hundred don’t always guarantee entry into Holy Heaven, but possessing the sixty-eighth Sacred Emblem of Maitreya Buddha gives a ninety-nine percent chance to join Holy Heaven.

Generally speaking, the talent of one’s Holy Veins and Holy Body doesn’t differ greatly from their Enlightenment Saint Realm talent.

Di Huai was also startled, not expecting Fan Xia’s direct disciple Fu Yunjie to possess the sixty-eighth ranked Sacred Emblem of Maitreya Buddha!

“Xiaolong, let’s go.” Di Huai glanced coldly at Fan Xia’s smug smile, and said to Huang Xiaolong, then left with him.

Regarding Di Huai, Huang Xiaolong and his companions’ departure, Truth Saint Fan Xia and others did not stop them.

Fan Xia watched Di Huai’s departing figure, his mouth curled in a cold smile.

“Master, it truly is the case of seeking with iron shoes, yet gaining without effort. We’ve searched for Di Huai for years without success, who’d have thought we’d meet this old man here in Holy Heaven City!” Fu Yunjie said.

Fan Xia grinned coldly, “Now that we’ve encountered him, we can’t let this old man Di Huai escape again!” He gazed at Huang Xiaolong’s back, “Seems like he’s also brought this boy to register.”

Fu Yunjie laughed, “Earlier, this boy was boasting shamelessly about wanting to become an Inner Sect Disciple of Holy Heaven, as if Holy Heaven were so easy to join. Even old man Di Huai, possessing the top hundred Enlightenment Saint Realm and a Holy Beast Body, couldn’t join. I refuse to believe this guy has talent comparable to mine!”

“Let’s also move, find a place to rest, and tomorrow I’ll take you to Holy Heaven City to register.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Once you join the Holy Heaven Organization, our Truth Saint Sect’s influence will undoubtedly rise!”

After Di Huai took Huang Xiaolong and others away, he rented a small courtyard intending to take Huang Xiaolong to register at Holy Heaven City the next day.

Since meeting the Truth Saint Sect, Di Huai’s face remained gloomy and unpleasant.

Huang Xiaolong noticed this and refrained from mentioning the Truth Saint Sect.

In the evening, as colorful lanterns were lit, the entire Holy Heaven City was bathed in their glow, resembling daylight.

The light had a peaceful aura but wasn’t dazzling, granting a sense of calm and comfort.

Huang Xiaolong stood in the courtyard, gazing at the sky, watching the illuminating glow and peaceful aura as clouds formed from Holy Spirit Energy floated above.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him.

Huang Xiaolong turned to see Di Huai.

“Senior Di Huai.” Huang Xiaolong greeted respectfully.

Di Huai nodded and gestured towards the nearby Stone Pavilion, “Let’s sit over there.”

The two sat down.

“Are you curious about the enmity between me and the Truth Saint Sect?” Di Huai said after sitting down.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, “If Senior Di Huai has a painful past, then.”

Di Huai waved his hand dismissively, “It’s nothing painful. Years ago, both the Truth Saint Fan Xia and I came to Holy Heaven City to register for the Holy Heaven Organization. During registration, I clashed with Fan Xia. Later, Fan Xia also failed to join the Holy Heaven Organization.”

“Unexpectedly, Fan Xia held a grudge, leading the Truth Saint Sect’s experts to settle the score, slaughtering my Dragon Qi clan!”

“My wife and son died at Fan Xia’s hands! While fleeing, my daughter went missing!”

“At that time, I was severely injured and saved by Saint Zhuoyuan. Since then, I’ve hidden within Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, promising to guard Zhuoyuan Saint Sect!”

As Di Huai spoke, his body emanated intense killing intent, eyes reddening as if recalling his wife and son’s tragic death at Fan Xia’s hands.

Huang Xiaolong was shocked, not expecting events to be so severe. No wonder Di Huai harbored such hatred against the Truth Saint Sect; it was due to an extermination vendetta.

“Xiaolong, I have a request for you.” Di Huai said hesitantly.

Huang Xiaolong understood what Di Huai wanted to say and nodded, “Rest assured, Senior Di Huai. I promise that if there’s a chance, I will avenge the Dragon Qi clan for you.”

“Xiaolong, thank you!” Di Huai grasped Huang Xiaolong’s hand, eyes red and emotional. Over the years, he constantly thought about avenging the Dragon Qi clan, his wife and son, but the Truth Saint Sect’s power was beyond his ability to retaliate.

Initially, he believed vengeance was hopeless in this life, but Huang Xiaolong’s presence gave him hope.

The night passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, as dawn broke, Di Huai led Huang Xiaolong to Holy Heaven City since it was Huang Xiaolong’s registration assessment, Di Huai only took Huang Xiaolong alone.

Feng Tianyu and others remained at the courtyard.

Half a day later, Huang Xiaolong and Di Huai sighted a massive estate from afar; although still distant, the formidable Holy Might made Huang Xiaolong’s heart tighten.

Over the estate, colorful clouds soared, impressive in size, while vast arrays of Holy Beasts appeared in illusory form, along with grand Saint images.

This was Holy Heaven City! The foremost estate in the Holy World!

“Heh, Di Huai, it seems we truly are fated. We separated just yesterday and meet again today.” As Huang Xiaolong and Di Huai flew towards Holy Heaven City, a voice suddenly came from behind. It was Truth Saint Fan Xia and his disciple Fu Yunjie catching up.
