Chapter 2334: Green Wood Sacred Sect

Since Huang Xiaolong spent just five or six minutes comprehending the first to the twelfth Holy Stele, many people already knew about it, although there were still many in Holy Heaven City who didn’t.

The Green Wood Sacred Sect Saint Heir, Chen Gong, was among those unaware.

Before long, the courtyard where Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, and others resided was in sight.

At this moment, Wu Ge, the Holy Heaven Main Hall Master, invited Huang Xiaolong and Di Huai into Holy Heaven City, and personally arranged for them to stay in the most luxurious palace with the densest Holy Spirit Qi within Holy Heaven City.

Looking at the enormous palace before them, with Holy Spirit Qi soaring skyward and sheer luxury that was soul-stirring, both Huang Xiaolong and Di Huai were astonished.

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but recall Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, Xue Qi, and others who were still living in the courtyard they rented outside, and mentioned them to Wu Ge.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ge said, “Rest assured, Young Master Huang. I will immediately send someone to fetch your friends and subordinates to Holy Heaven City!”

“Good, thank you very much, Master Wu Ge,” Huang Xiaolong replied.

Wu Ge quickly waved his hand, laughing, “It’s a minor thing. From now on, whatever concerns Young Master Huang, concerns me and Holy Heaven itself. Should you have any issues, just let me know directly.”

Though Wu Ge’s words seemed exaggerated, they were not mere flattery. Given the importance the four Ancestor Lords placed on Huang Xiaolong, his affairs definitely were indeed matters of Holy Heaven.

Right away, Wu Ge summoned Zhang Hanwen, a Deacon from the Law Enforcement Hall.

Summoned by the Main Hall Master, Zhang Hanwen felt anxious and uneasy. Upon hearing Wu Ge’s order, he was overwhelmingly excited, replying respectfully, “Rest assured, Main Hall Master. Rest assured, Young Master Huang. I will personally go and bring them over!”

Before leaving, Zhang Hanwen didn’t forget to bow to Huang Xiaolong.

Wu Ge nodded secretly, observing that this lad was rather clever.

Huang Xiaolong watched Zhang Hanwen’s departing figure and said to Wu Ge, “Master Wu Ge, during the assessment, it was fortunate that this Deacon Zhang helped me, otherwise, the assessment might have been disrupted by some people.”

Wu Ge smiled, “Rest assured, Young Master Huang. I will have the Task Hall record it and ensure Zhang Hanwen is credited with great merit and properly rewarded.”

Zhang Hanwen nearly stumbled with joy upon reaching the main exit, hearing Huang Xiaolong and Wu Ge’s words.

…

Chen Gong, the Green Wood Sacred Sect Saint Heir, led a crowd to the courtyard where Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, and Xue Qi lived.

“This lad certainly knows how to enjoy,” mocked Chen Gong, coldly staring at the exquisite courtyard before him.

Renting such a courtyard for a day was quite costly, especially in Holy Heaven City.

“Your Highness Chen Gong, shall we take action now to break the courtyard’s defense prohibition?” a disciple inquired.

Chen Gong nodded, “Exert full strength, but be cautious, don’t strike too hard and end up killing them all!”

He had already notified the patrol soldiers around Holy Heaven City; they wouldn’t be arriving anytime soon.

Immediately, the disciples of the Green Wood Sacred Sect attacked simultaneously, and with a resounding boom, the entire courtyard violently trembled.

Inside the courtyard, Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, and others were alarmed, and upon looking outside, their faces changed drastically.

Seeing that the disciples’ combined assault didn’t break the courtyard’s defense prohibition, Chen Gong was surprised. To be cautious, Di Huai himself arranged several prohibitions around the courtyard.

Though the Green Wood Sacred Sect disciples were reasonably strong, breaking prohibitions set by a Saint Realm expert like Di Huai was exceedingly difficult.

“Your Highness Chen Gong, there are prohibitions set by a Saint Realm within this courtyard!” one Green Wood Sacred Sect disciple exclaimed.

Chen Gong sneered, “That old man Di Huai must have set them. It seems these people are quite important to Huang Xiaolong for Di Huai to personally set prohibitions. All the better. Step aside, I’ll handle this.” With that, he took out an item.

It was a jet-black bead adorned with countless Ancient Runes.

Chen Gong operated his Tao Saint Realm, infusing it with Supreme Power, and suddenly, the jet-black bead emitted intense light, flying out and bombarding the courtyard, causing the prohibition to snap crisply. Di Huai’s prohibitions had weakened considerably.

Chen Gong sneered at this sight. Although the bead wasn’t a Holy Artifact, it was a Half-Saint Peak item, crafted by an elder, a Nine Tribulations Half Saint, of an ancient sect using numerous ancient materials. This bead was designed to break any Great Array Restriction methods.

Though the courtyard’s prohibitions had been casually arranged by Di Huai, Chen Gong was confident he could break them soon.

With each consecutive strike, the courtyard’s prohibitions grew weaker, their glow increasingly dim.

Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, and others looked on in terror.

Through the prohibition, Chen Gong saw their terrified expressions and sneered grimly, “Blame Huang Xiaolong; it’s because of him!”

However, just as Chen Gong said this, the ground suddenly quaked, startling Chen Gong and the Green Wood Sacred Sect disciples. Could it be the patrol soldiers’ team? They had already greased palms with Holy Currency earlier; how come they’d arrived?

Soon enough, Chen Gong and his group saw the approaching figures.

“Holy, Holy Heaven, Law Enforcement Team?!” Chen Gong gasped, his face changing drastically.

This!

How could the Holy Heaven Law Enforcement Team be here?

Was it a coincidence?

The ones arriving were Zhang Hanwen from the Law Enforcement Hall and the law enforcement team disciples under his command.

Originally following Wu Ge’s order, Zhang Hanwen rushed over with great excitement, but seeing Chen Gong assaulting the courtyard from afar, his face turned dark as water, his eyes filled with rage.

By the time Zhang Hanwen arrived, Chen Gong had already stored the black bead away.

“Greetings, sir. I am Chen Gong of the Green Wood Sacred Sect, and my mentor is Zhang Guojian, an elder of the Green Wood Sacred Sect.” Chen Gong quickly approached Zhang Hanwen with a sycophantic smile and said respectfully, “This is a small token.” With that, he tried to pass Zhang Hanwen a Space Ring containing one billion Holy Currency.

However, upon presenting it, Zhang Hanwen swiftly slapped it away.

…

Holy Heaven City.

“Chen Gong of the Green Wood Sacred Sect.” Hearing Wu Ge’s account, Huang Xiaolong narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing by.

“Rest assured, Young Master Huang.” Wu Ge, upon receiving Zhang Hanwen’s report, looked displeased and said, “I will deal with this Chen Gong properly. The Green Wood Sacred Sect deserves stern punishment. Chen Gong dared to disregard the rules of Holy Heaven City and act within its limits—it’s utterly unforgivable!”

“Good, I’ll rely on you then, Master Wu Ge,” Huang Xiaolong replied, nodding. Since he wasn’t a Holy Heaven disciple just yet, he couldn’t intervene.

Wu Ge felt deeply apologetic, assuring Huang Xiaolong that he would personally interrogate Chen Gong and inform him once there were results.

The interrogation results came quickly.

Learning that Chen Gong’s actions were merely attempts to curry favor with Fu Yunjie, Huang Xiaolong felt an inward heaviness.

“Fu Yunjie.”
