Chapter 2255 - 2247: The Country Bumpkin
"But, is this kid from Tian Niu Li Continent? Should I be afraid?" After hesitating for a moment, the Holy Son Huang Zhouping spoke again.
After all, the previous Holy Son Zheng Donghao from Tian Niu Li Continent did not have a good relationship with the Holy Alliance.
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "Just convey my Holy Order, there’s no need to worry about anything else. Tell him that there’s only one chance. If he doesn’t seize it, there won’t be another opportunity to ask me to join the Holy Alliance in the future."
"Yes, Brother Jiang Tian!"
A moment later, the Holy Son Huang Zhouping led his subordinates to the palace where Huang Xiaolong was temporarily residing.
Upon arriving, Huang Zhouping and his men saw the Six-eyed Ice Lion and the Titan Giant Beast guarding the palace door and couldn’t help but be startled.
Huang Zhouping’s men saw and laughed, saying, "This Huang Xiaolong really came from a countryside place. He dared to bring several Dominator Realm Fierce Beasts along with him to see people. He really doesn’t understand his status!"
The other dozen or so people laughed as well.
Huang Zhouping laughed, "Coming from the countryside, thinking that bringing several Dominator Realm Top-grade Primordial Spiritual Beasts could show off. But how could he know that at our Holy Land Headquarters, Dominator Realm Primordial Spiritual Beasts are merely the most ordinary disciples’ mounts."
Just as Huang Zhouping and his men were mocking, Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Prince Qian heard the noise and walked out.
Seeing Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Prince Qian—three Heavenly Monarch Realm individuals—coming out from Huang Xiaolong’s palace, Huang Zhouping and his men were even more dumbfounded.
"Heavenly Monarch Realm?" One of Huang Zhouping’s subordinates couldn’t hold back and laughed, "This Huang Xiaolong is truly adorable, carrying several Heavenly Monarch Realm attendants around? It’s killing me with laughter!"
"It seems this Huang Xiaolong indeed came from a poor ditch, not having even a single Supreme Realm subordinate by his side!"
"If he sees the gift that the Saint Son Jiang Tian gives him, perhaps he might even drool!"
Huang Zhouping’s followers talked freely and delightedly.
They were somewhat "excited" as they had never seen a Holy Son accompanied by several Heavenly Monarch Realm attendants.
Zhang Wenyue, seeing Huang Zhouping’s subordinates disrespect Huang Xiaolong, couldn’t help but angrily declare, "How dare you speak disrespectfully to a Holy Son! Do you know your sins?!"
Huang Zhouping’s subordinates were stunned but then burst into laughter.
A small Heavenly Monarch Realm dared to "lecture" this group of Supremes?
Among them, a burly man with extremely strong arms laughed, "Little girl, why don’t you go to the Law Enforcement Hall and report us? Just tell the Hall Master there that we’ve disrespected your Holy Son."
"Let me tell you, little girl, the Law Enforcement Hall Master Zhang Yunqi is one of our Holy Alliance! Another laughed, and after laughing, suddenly his face turned cold: "You little Heavenly Monarchs, such audacity! Upon seeing our Holy Son Huang Zhouping, you mustn’t quickly kneel and salute!"
"Believe it or not, our Holy Son can slap you to death right now!"
His aura expanded, vast Supreme First Stage Early Stage pressure roared towards Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Prince Qian.
Under such pressure, Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Prince Qian felt as if tens of thousands of giant mountains were pressing on them, forcing them to kneel, bleeding from their mouths uncontrollably.
"Haven’t knelt yet!" Before Zhang Wenyue and the others could catch their breath, the other shouted, increasing his aura, causing Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Zhang Haochen to cough more blood.
Huang Zhouping watched with an indifferent expression, remaining silent.
Just a few small Heavenly Monarch Realms, in his eyes, were even lower than worthless servants; if they died, they would die. Would Huang Xiaolong argue with him over a few mere Heavenly Monarch Realm servants?
"Kneel and pay respect to the Holy Son!" Zhang Wenyue and the others had no choice but to kowtow and salute Huang Zhouping.
Huang Zhouping did not permit the three to rise.
"Go, bring Huang Xiaolong out!" Huang Zhouping instructed one of his subordinates.
That subordinate responded respectfully, then shouted, "Holy Son Huang Zhouping has come to visit; wouldn’t Holy Son Huang Xiaolong quickly come out to greet?"
The voice penetrated the void and spread far.
Despite relying on Huang Zhouping and the Holy Alliance, he was still careful not to directly refer to Huang Xiaolong by name due to Huang Xiaolong’s Holy Son status.
Deep in the palace, Huang Xiaolong was cultivating in seclusion, but he opened his eyes upon hearing the call. Huang Zhouping’s visit? From the Holy Alliance?
In Wan Zhuoyuan’s memory, the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect had an organization called the Holy Alliance, which held great power in the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, with nearly half of the Holy Sons having joined.
The Holy Alliance was founded by a Holy Son named Jiang Tian.
This Jiang Tian is the leader of the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect Holy Sons and the only Direct Disciple of Wan Zhuoyuan.
Huang Zhouping is one of the Holy Sons of the Holy Alliance.
"It seems Huang Zhouping has come on Jiang Tian’s behalf to recruit me," Huang Xiaolong thought, then walked out from the inner sanctuary of the palace.
However, upon reaching the palace door and seeing Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Prince Qian kneeling with bleeding mouths staining the ground, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes grew cold, especially upon seeing Zhang Wenyue’s pale face, his heart seething with rage.
"Holy Son Huang Xiaolong, this is our Holy Son Huang Zhouping." The subordinate who was forcing Zhang Wenyue to kneel spoke to Huang Xiaolong.
"Impudence!" Huang Xiaolong shouted, his aura suddenly surging, a dragon’s roar shaking the heavens. With one palm, he pressed down upon the other, "You bunch of servants, upon seeing this Holy Son not kneeling and saluting, who gave you the audacity?! Was it Huang Zhouping who instructed you to do so?!"
"Huang Zhouping dare defy the Holy Sect’s rules?!"
That Supreme First-stage Early Stage subordinate was immediately slapped flat against the ground, spitting blood nonstop.
Huang Zhouping and his men were shocked and unexpectedly surprised.
Shocked by Huang Xiaolong’s strength, surprised that a newly arrived Holy Son at the Holy Sect Headquarters dared disregard Huang Zhouping’s face and act boldly in public!
Huang Zhouping’s other dozen or so subordinates were surprised and stunned after the shock and were about to rescue the brother pinned by Huang Xiaolong when Huang Zhouping shouted, "Stop!" With that, he struck one of them away.
"Audacious! You dare to attack a Holy Son Huang Xiaolong?" Huang Zhouping rebuked.
Even with the backing of the Holy Alliance, openly assaulting a Holy Son was a capital offense; Huang Zhouping couldn’t save these subordinates.
Even the Holy Alliance couldn’t save them.
Huang Zhouping’s dozen or so subordinates trembled and bowed, "We wouldn’t dare."
"Quickly plead guilty to Holy Son Huang Xiaolong!" Huang Zhouping commanded.
His subordinates hurriedly kowtowed, opening their mouths to plead guilty to Huang Xiaolong, yet their demeanor lacked respect, with no intention of genuine apology.
