"The Red Devil trio?" Elder Li Yuhui frowned, "Although they are at the Supreme First Stage Early Stage, they are not ordinary Supreme First Stage Early Stage experts. With Huang Xiaolong’s current realm and strength, it would be very difficult to kill all three!"

This Red Devil trio, some possess Enlightenment Saint Realm, some possess Holy Veins, and some possess the Holy Body, and they cultivate with top-tier evil techniques. Huang Xiaolong, a newly inducted Saint Heir of the Holy Sect and only at the Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage, would find it exceedingly difficult to kill these three.

Xu Jun said calmly, "Although the challenge is significant, it is not impossible to accomplish. If Huang Xiaolong fails, such a worthless Saint Heir would only bring ridicule upon our Holy Sect."

Guo Qirong nodded, "Xu Jun is right. So, it’s decided; let Huang Xiaolong go to the Vast Sea to kill the Red Devil trio! We’ll have him set off to the Vast Sea in three days!"

A day later, while Huang Xiaolong was cultivating, an unexpected guest arrived at Ten Thousand Dragon Peak. It was Zheng Xu from the Task Hall, who came to inform him about the trial task.

Upon his arrival, Zheng Xu was a bit surprised to see the spiritual-laden Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, not expecting Huang Xiaolong to have transformed the cave palace to such a state in just half a year.

Though Ten Thousand Dragon Peak doesn’t compare to other Saint Heir’s cave palaces, it is much better than other elite disciples’ caves.

After arriving, Zheng Xu explained his purpose directly, then took out a task scroll and said to Huang Xiaolong, "Saint Heir Huang Xiaolong, this is the trial task Elder Guo Qirong has set for you. Open it and take a look, and if there are no questions, I will return to report to Elder Guo Qirong."

In fact, even if Huang Xiaolong had questions, it would be of no use because once a trial task is set, it is very difficult to change.

Unless the task is impossible to complete.

Huang Xiaolong opened the task scroll, glanced at it, and the task was described clearly within the scroll, including detailed introductions of the Red Devil trio’s strength, combat power, talent, and some special skills.

The task must be completed within ten months.

From the Holy Sect Headquarters to the Vast Sea, the usual round trip takes eight months, so the time is not abundant, but not too tight either.

As he saw that the Red Devil trio possessed Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, or Holy Body, Huang Xiaolong’s lips curled into a smile. Lifting his head, he deliberately patted his chest, assuring Zheng Xu confidently, "I have no questions about the trial task. Go back and tell Elder Guo Qirong that within ten months I will definitely complete the task and return with the task scroll."

Zheng Xu was taken aback.

No questions?

Originally, he expected Huang Xiaolong to make a fuss, citing the difficulty of the task, but Huang Xiaolong accepted it with chest-patting assurance! And with such a confident demeanor? This!

"What? Does Hall Master Zheng Xu have other matters?" Huang Xiaolong asked, seeing Zheng Xu lost in thought.

Zheng Xu returned to his senses, smiled, "No, no, since that’s the case, I shall return to report to Elder Guo Qirong. I wish Saint Heir Huang Xiaolong a triumphant return!"

Moments later, Zheng Xu departed into the sky.

After Zheng Xu left, Huang Xiaolong told Zhang Wenyue about the trial, ordered Zhang Wenyue and others not to go out while he was away, and wait for his return.

Huang Xiaolong planned to leave shortly.

Zhang Wenyue, upon hearing about the trial task, frowned slightly and said, "Young Master, this trial task is clearly Elder Guo Qirong intentionally making things difficult for you. The Red Devil trio are not ordinary Supreme First Stage Early Stage experts. With your current combat power, you could only kill them one by one when they’re not together, and even then, it would be extremely difficult!"

Huang Xiaolong, however, laughed, "No worries, I should thank Guo Qirong for giving me such a nice gift!"

Lately, he had been contemplating how to enhance his Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body. Although some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine can enhance them, the most direct and quickest method is to devour other experts who possess Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, or Holy Body.

However, experts with these qualities are hard to find; he couldn’t devour Zhuoyuan Saint Sect’s disciples without cause. Now, Guo Qirong’s trial task with the Red Devil trio to kill is perfect for him to devour!

It’s a win-win situation.

After devouring the Red Devil trio, his Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, or Holy Body will be enhanced, allowing him to cultivate faster, enhance his combat power, and he will have a better chance of killing Huang Zhouping in the Holy Platform battle!

Just as Huang Xiaolong decided to leave Ten Thousand Dragon Peak for the Vast Sea in the afternoon, Zheng Xu had returned to Elder Peak to report to Guo Qirong that Huang Xiaolong had accepted the trial task.

"He really didn’t fuss? Or show dissatisfaction? But assuredly said he would complete the task?" Hearing the report, Guo Qirong was surprised and puzzled.

Zheng Xu nodded in confirmation and recounted how Huang Xiaolong confidently assured by patting his chest.

Xu Jun sneered, "This kid is indeed both foolish and ignorant."

"If, after ten months, this kid can’t complete the trial task and returns, his reputation as a worthless Saint Heir will be cemented." Elder Gong Chen shook his head.

If a Saint Heir cannot even complete a new trial task upon returning, how will the million disciples at the Holy Sect Headquarters view him?

Moreover, according to the Holy Sect’s rules, if a disciple cannot complete a new trial task within the specified time, they will never be able to accept other tasks from the Holy Sect again and will face severe punishment.

The inability to accept other tasks is punishment enough for disciples of the Holy Sect to bear. In the Holy Sect, only by completing enough tasks can one accumulate enough contributions, and when contributions reach a certain level, one can assume positions of real power.

Even as a Saint Heir, one must achieve a certain contribution value to compete for the position of Sect Leader.

The Holy Alliance’s Jiang Tian, Huang Zhouping, and others, upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong had undertaken the task to kill the Red Devil trio, also shook their heads, laughing.

"However, if this kid cannot complete the trial task and returns, defeating or crippling him on the Holy Platform won’t bring much satisfaction." Huang Zhouping shook his head.

"If we had known this, we should have suggested to Elder Guo Qirong to assign him an easier task." Jiang Tian nodded, laughing.

"Brother Jiang Tian, should we perhaps leak some information to the Red Devil trio in advance, so they are prepared and give Huang Xiaolong a surprise?" Saint Heir Zheng Yongjia asked.

Jiang Tian asked Huang Zhouping, "What does Brother Huang think?"

Huang Zhouping shrugged, "I don’t mind, it’s up to Brother Jiang Tian’s Holy Order."

"Alright, then we’ll leak the information to the Red Devil trio!"

...

An hour later, Huang Xiaolong, riding the Treasure Golden Pig, left Ten Thousand Dragon Peak for the Vast Sea.
