Chương 22: Chapter 22 : Just a Lowly Slave, What Qualifications?

Having heard Fei Hou's explanation, it became clear to Huang Xiaolong why Fei Hou's meridians were broken, and his body had such severe injuries.

"Sit down, let me first treat your injuries," said Huang Xiaolong after pondering for a moment. Although he would like to know more about Asura's Gate and its current situation but with Fei Hou's serious injuries, it's more important first to stabilize his condition.

"Sovereign, my body's broken veins…" Fei Hou hesitated before asking.

In general, broken veins are incurable unless he could find those legendary elixirs.

"You don't need to worry." Huang Xiaolong waved his hand, said, "I can reconnect your veins, it's just that it will take about six months."

"Sovereign! You can reconnect my broken veins?" Fei Hou was very shocked; it was not that he doubted Huang Xiaolong but he felt it was too bizarre! Could it be that the Sovereign was in possession of a legendary elixir?

"Sit down first."

Fei Hou's heart was filled with questions but he dared not defy orders. He answered respectfully and sat down. Once he sat down, Huang Xiaolong put his palms on Fei Hou's back and circulated his internal energy, thereby transferring it to Fei Hou. In an instant, Fei Hou could feel warm energy enter his body; he quickly refocused his attention and coordinated with Huang Xiaolong, guiding the warm energy to nourish his body.

More than one hour passed.

Huang Xiaolong stopped, face slightly pale. 

Although his Body Metamorphose training had reached the fourth stage, his internal energy was still a bit weak. However, after having spent more than an hour of transferring internal energy to Fei Hou, he was now able to circulate the energy on his own to recover his strength.

Huang Xiaolong watched Fei Hou circulating internal energy to heal himself for a little while, and then he left the room and returned to his yard.

When Huang Peng saw his son returned looking tired, he felt a little strange; didn't his son go out with Li Lu to walk around the city?

"Xiaolong, are you okay?" Huang Peng asked

Seeing at his father's concern, he laughed. "I'm fine Dad."

Huang Peng lets out a breath of relief, then asked, "Miss Li Lu has gone back?"

Huang Xiaolong nodded his head.

Suddenly, Huang Peng smiled, and his smile carried a strange flavor as his stare fixed on Huang Xiaolong, Huang Peng, quipped: "Isn't Miss Li Lu's hand very soft and smooth? Isn't nice holding hands with a beauty?"

Huang Xiaolong blanked out for a moment before smiling: "I say Old Man, what are talking about. There's nothing going on between Miss Li Lu and me."

Huang Peng smiled and said, "Okay, I know there's nothing between you and Li Lu, only Miss Li Lu has something with you." When he said that, Huang Peng laughed happily "You don't know this, but when Miss Li Lu pulled your hand on the way out that brat Huang Wei's expression was so bad, it was like he ate dog shit."

Huang Xiaolong shook his head while smiling.

"But, Xiaolong, you have to be wary of Huang Wei." said Huang Peng and his toned turned serious.

"I know Dad, don't worry. If there is nothing else, I'll be going back to my room," said Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Peng nodded. "Okay, go and rest."

After Huang Xiaolong got into his room, he took out the cold jade bed from Ring of Asura, sat on it then began to practice Asura Tactic. The night passed and morning came. Huang Xiaolong stopped his training, all the lethargy from yesterday had disappeared leaving him feeling refreshed.

Leaving his room, Huang Xiaolong walked towards Fei Hou's room; as he got there, coincidentally Fei Hou came out.

"Seen Sovereign, Sovereign invincible throughout!" Fei Hou saw Huang Xiaolong, immediately knelt down on one knee in salute. After Huang Xiaolong had helped him to treat his injury last night, his demeanor became even more respectful towards Huang Xiaolong.

"You can stand." Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Only then Fei Hou did stand up respectfully.

"Fei Hou, when others are around, address me as young master." Huang Xiaolong muttered in a low voice: "Also, stop lauding 'Sovereign invincible throughout!'"

Every time Huang Xiaolong heard the sentence 'Sovereign invincible throughout!' he felt depressed even though he knew it was a rule set by Ren Wokuang, the previous Sovereign.

Fei Hou paused for a moment, then said, "Sovereign, 'Sovereign Invincible throughout' this sentence during salute was set by the previous Sovereign if we stop…?"

Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and said: "I know that this rule was set by Master years ago, but rules are established by people. I'm the current Sovereign, and I say this rule is now abolished."

Master? Fei Hou had been curious about Huang Xiaolong's relation with the Old Sovereign. Hearing Huang Xiaolong refer to the Old Sovereign as Master he now knew. Right, who else but the old Sovereign's pro-disciple can be the Sovereign of Asura's Gate?

Fei Hou Immediately responded: "As Sovereign ordered!"

"How's your recovery?" Huang Xiaolong asked.

"Replying Sovereign; your subordinate's injury has recovered about seventy percent, in three days my wounds should fully recover, but my veins…" Fei Hou's words stopped here.

"You needn't worry about your veins. Now, tell me about the current situation in Asura's Gate."

When Fei Hou heard that, his expression became complicated.

"What is it?" Huang Xiaolong frowned.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong's expression he knew Huang Xiaolong had misunderstood, and quickly said: "Sovereign, it's not that your subordinate is unwilling to report. Honestly, it's just that subordinate is not very clear."

"Not very clear?" Huang Xiaolong was startled.

"Yes." Fe Hou nodded, he then explained to Huang Xiaolong. Fei Hou entered Asura's Gate twenty years ago, and he had never been to Asura's Gate headquarters. Twenty years ago he met an Elder from Asura's Gate and was taken in as a disciple, and that was how he entered Asura's Gate. His Master never talked to him about sect's matters.

His Master's name is Yu Ming.

"But Master did mention that after Old Sovereign had disappeared fifty years ago, there was an internal struggle for the Sovereign's position resulting in Asura's Gate splitting into two factions." Fei Hou said.

"Split into two factions!" Huang Xiaolong's brows creased, asked: "Where is your Master now?"

"Three years ago we separated, and since then I haven't seen Master. Back then, Master said he had something to do in Mohe Kingdom's Imperial City." Replied Fei Hou.

The Mohe Kingdom? Huang Xiaolong had heard about the Mohe Kingdom, but the distance from there to Luo Tong kingdom where Huang Xiaolong located was too far. To reach the Mohe Kingdom from the Luo Tong Kingdom, he would need to pass through more than ten other kingdoms in between.

If it's like this, getting a clear picture of the internal situation at Asura's Gate is currently impossible.

At this moment, Li Lu ran over from afar; her face blossomed into a smile when she saw Huang Xiaolong, "Xiaolong, I knew you were here. Let's go, the banquet is starting soon, let's head over there now."

Huang Xiaolong's head start to ache when he saw Li Lu, he turned towards Fei Hou and said: "Come with me."

"Yes, Young Master!" Fei Hou replied respectfully.

Although Li Lu was surprised to hear Fei Hou refer to Huang Xiaolong as Young Master, she did not think too much about it. She walked up to Huang Xiaolong and pulled his hand, running out from the yard; as if pulling Huang Xiaolong's hand had become a habit of hers.

Huang Xiaolong wanted to retrieve his hand, but to his surprise, this time, the little girl gripped firmly, not letting go. He could only follow from behind. As they arrived at the banquet, they ran into Huang Peng's group who just came.

When Huang Wei saw Li Lu was holding Huang Xiaolong's hand, his expression turned hideous whereas Huang Peng was giving Huang Xiaolong an ambiguous smile while giving him a thumbs up, rendering Huang Xiaolong speechless!

Everyone took their seat after they entered the main hall, and Huang Qide's group seat is actually on the main table, seated together with Li Mu. Huang Xiaolong was about to sit when Li Lu came over and pulled him to a seat next to her and Fei Hou automatically stood behind Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Peng, Huang Qide, and the others had noticed Fei Hou's presence behind Huang Xiaolong. They thought Huang Xiaolong bought Fei Hou yesterday at the slave's market when he was going around the city; consequently, nobody asked anything.

"Fei Hou, find a place to seat on the sides." Seeing Fei Hou standing behind him, when the seat beside was empty didn't feel right, after all, Fei Hou was a Tenth Order Warrior.

Just as he spoke, Huang Wei's spoke loudly in a haughty voice: "Sit? Huang Xiaolong, today is Old Patriarch Li's birthday banquet; is a slave you bought qualified to sit in here?" 


Chương 23: Chapter 23: Making an Exhibition of Oneself.

Huang Xiaolong turned around to look at Huang Wei, then said in a cold tone, "If he's not qualified to sit here, then you are even less qualified than he is!"

"What?! Huang Xiaolong, you!" Huang Wei was truly offended; rage filled his heart. He possessed grade ten martial spirits, the future Lord of Huang Clan Manor, yet this Huang Xiaolong actually said he's less qualified when compared to a slave servant?

At this moment, Huang Qide spoke: "Enough! We are in Li Residence, Old Patriarch Li's celebration banquet!"

Because his grandfather had spoken Huang Wei could only glare at Huang Xiaolong with a vengeance.

Huang Qide then turned to Huang Xiaolong and said, "Xiaolong, is this person your newly purchased slave? He's not qualified to sit here!"

Huang Xiaolong's brow wrinkled, no matter what; in the end, his grandfather was still partial to Huang Wei. Ever since both of their martial spirits awakened, this has been Huang Qide's attitude.

He was certain that If it weren't because Li Lu kept demanding that Huang Xiaolong comes, his grandfather Huang Qide would have brought only Huang Wei with him.

Huang Qide spoke again. "Tell you slave servant to leave the hall, and wait in the yard."

Leave? Huang Xiaolong's anger started to rise, grandfather's meaning is Fei Hou's not qualified to even stand here?

"Xiaolong didn't you hear what your grandfather said. Quickly tell you slave servant to scram! We are at Old Patriarch Li's celebration banquet, you bringing over a slave servant, are you trying exhibit yourself?" Huang Ming added in an admonishing tone.

Scram? Huang Xiaolong's anger continued to rise, sneered: "Although my servant is new, but it's not for you order him around!"

"You!" Huang Ming didn't expect an event like this where Huang Xiaolong would actually contradict him; his eyes bulged so in anger much they almost fell out.

"That's enough, Xiaolong." Huang Peng said. "Obey your grandfather's instruction, let him return to the yard." Even though Huang Peng agreed with his father, Huang Qide and Huang Ming's words were excessive, but he also felt that his son bringing a slave servant on such an occasion was not appropriate.

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, suppressing the anger, he nodded and said to Fei Hou behind him: "Fei Hou, go back and wait for me."

While the conversation took place, Fei Hou's expression was calm, "Yes, Young Master." He saluted respectfully after saying that, turned around and left.

Huang Wei was feeling proud seeing that Fei Hou was ordered to leave.

Li Lu who was sitting beside Huang Xiaolong glared at Huang Wei when she saw his satisfied expression.

Suddenly, loud laughter erupted from outside the hall; it was Old Patriarch Li. Everyone in the Main Hall looked out and saw Li Mu, Li Cheng and their other guests walking towards the Main Hall under the protection of experts.

Seeing them, everyone got up.

However, as the group of merry people were about to step into the Main Hall, suddenly an anxious cry was heard: "Old Patriarch, it's bad! Something bad happened!"

The voice was abrupt, and the laughter filled hall became silent; Li Mu was startled as he turned around to look, others did the same.

A flustered residential guard ran in looking frightened; the guard panted heavily as he reached Li Mu and Li Cheng, his finger pointed towards the main entrance and with a shaky voice said, "Old Patriarch, outside, outside!"

"Outside? What happened outside?" A sinking feeling crept into Li Mu's heart, and he almost shouted his question.

"Outside, there is a huge coffin placed outside!" The Li Residence's guard said in a quivering voice.

"What? A huge coffin!"

"What is the matter?!"

Inside the Main Hall, all the Patriarch and experts that came to congratulate Old Patriarch Li were shocked, and whispers circulated the hall.

Li Mu's heart skipped a beat; his expression became solemn, and he said: "Go!" After speaking, Li Mu and his son Li Cheng walked towards the main entrance of Li Residence's with quickly, while the experts of Li Residence followed closely behind them.

"We will also go and have a look," said Huang Qide as he too walked out of the Main Hall, followed by Huang Xiaolong and the others, and Li Lu followed Huang Xiaolong. At her age, although she didn't understand what a huge coffin being placed in front of the main entrance on her grandfather's birthday celebration represented, she was nervous and tense.

Huang Xiaolong followed his grandfather to the main entrance, looked out and saw that a huge red-colored coffin was placed directly facing the main entrance of the Li Residence.

The of the coffin was dyed red with human blood and a strong scent of blood wove through the air assaulting their nose.

Everyone's heart tightened watching this weird scene.

Li Mu walked up to the coffin. His expression was cold as he shouted: "Which scoundrel dares to look for trouble with Li Residence? Get out here!" When Li Mu shouted, the surrounding air rolled like waves, forming a large lion in midair; the lion roared endlessly.

Everyone was surprised and a look of awe apparent in their expression.

Huang Xiaolong's eyes glimmered. His father told him before about the battle skill that Li Mu practiced, is this the middle grade, Mysterious rank battle skill – Sky Lion Roar?

Moments later, the lion in the sky dissipated, and there was quiet.

"Hey hey!" A snicker sounded in the air, from all direction confusing everyone as to the source of the voice. "Old Man Li, today is your eightieth birthday thus we prepared this big gift for you, you should be happy. Why are you angry? A bad temper usually leads to a short life!"

Li Mu flew up, with a loud shout his palm struck out; releasing many palm prints which rotated to form an enormous wind storm, swirling up as clouds became faintly visible.

"Windcloud Palm."

The massive windstorm created by the palm prints fell on a government building in front, and suddenly a muted green fist print pierced through the air and collided head-on with Li Mu's palm print. A loud deafening explosion resounded as the two energies collided. Two muted green silhouettes appeared in midair above the government building as they stood in midair. Huang Xiaolong and everyone else looked at the two figures; their bodies were actually covered in scaled like a snake, with black eyes, their faces covered with green stripes and a long snake-like tail attached to their backs.

"Soul Transformation!" Huang Xiaolong's eyes narrowed.

When a warrior reaches the Seventh Order, their martial spirits experience a second evolution which allows the warrior's body to integrate with their martial spirits. This ability is called Soul Transformation. After transformation, the warrior possesses the innate ability of his martial spirits. For instance, if a person's martial spirit is a poisonous snake, then after Soul Transformation the battle qi in the warrior's body will contain a certain amount of poison.

Clearly, the martial spirits of these two were some type of snake, and from the looks of it, most probably poisonous snakes.

"Hey Hey, Old Man Li, your Windcloud Palm is only so-so!"

"We won't be killing you now; but within three years, we'll definitely take your dog-life!"

"Open the coffin and see our birthday present to you!"

Both of them smirked, and their bodies became shrouded in a muted green glow, then disappeared in a flash right in front of everybody.

Li Mu didn't expect the other party to flee the moment they appeared, so by the time he regained his senses and wanted to pursue, it was already too late.

"Dad!" Li Cheng walked up to Li Mu moments later. He then looked at the sealed coffin and asked, "Should we open it?"

Li Mu turned around, inhaled deeply, and said: "Open it!"
