Chapter 2249 - 2241: Could It Be?!
"A new Saint Heir?!" Song Shaokang and Song Fu momentarily failed to comprehend, but suddenly, both of their eyes widened, faces full of shock.
"Saint Heir!" they exclaimed simultaneously.
Song Fu hurriedly said, "Kang’er, hurry, let’s go quickly!"
Song Shaokang nodded, and together with Song Fu, they dashed towards the Examination Hall.
However, halfway there, Song Shaokang suddenly stopped, as if realizing something, his face pale and bloodless, cold sweat continuously forming on his forehead.
"What’s wrong?" Song Fu, seeing his son suddenly halt and his face so pale, couldn’t help but feel curious.
Song Shaokang’s voice trembled, "Father, do you think... could it be?!"
Song Fu felt even more puzzled, momentarily unable to understand what his son was implying.
But suddenly, his mind flashed, as if understanding what his son was trying to say, he blurted out with trembling voice, "You mean, it’s Huang Xiaolong?! That Huang Xiaolong?!"
Huang Xiaolong!
Song Fu felt a chill all over, even his heart seemed to almost cease beating.
Song Shaokang was even more stiff all over, his mind buzzing, momentarily disoriented, unable to tell directions.
Others might not know, but they were aware; this morning, Xiao Feng went to preside over the examination for that Huang Xiaolong who was left out overnight!
And yesterday, all night long, they were merrily enjoying tea and discussing philosophy with Xiao Feng, carefree and pleasant; last night, he even considered that after Huang Xiaolong’s examination today, if Huang Xiaolong truly crawls over to beg him, would he indeed show mercy to spare his life, or simply break his limbs!
"It shouldn’t, shouldn’t be that Huang Xiaolong, right?" Song Fu dazedly murmured after a long moment.
At this moment, he still holds on to one last hope.
Song Shaokang’s throat was dry, "Perhaps, maybe it really isn’t that Huang Xiaolong; maybe someone else came to register for the examination this morning!"
Although not many come to register for the examination at the Holy Sect branch, there are still people daily, some days even two or three.
So, the one being examined now isn’t necessarily Huang Xiaolong!
Clinging to hope, Song Shaokang and Song Fu hesitantly headed towards the Examination Hall.
Meanwhile, Holy Sect Headquarters disciple Sun Huage and branch Sect Leader Liu Cheng were the first to arrive at the Examination Hall but dared not intrude, waiting anxiously and respectfully outside its doors.
Their expressions were extremely serious as they stared at the hall’s entrance, not daring to make a sound, fearing to disturb the new Saint Heir inside undergoing the examination.
Generally, when the Holy Body, Holy Veins, and Enlightenment Saint Realm manifest together until the end, this process takes at least half a day.
Shortly after Sun Huage and Liu Cheng arrived, the branch’s high-level deacon and several other deacons also appeared.
As they went to pay respects upon seeing Sun Huage and Liu Cheng, both of them simultaneously turned their heads, shook their heads, and placed fingers to lips, "Shh!"
Shh!
This signaled the newcomers to remain silent.
Shocked, the branch’s high-level deacon and other deacons quickly quieted down, then moved gently behind Sun Huage and Liu Cheng, waiting respectfully.
Soon, the branch’s guard captain and team leaders arrived in quick succession. Sun Huage and Liu Cheng simultaneously gestured to indicate that all these guard captains and leaders should withdraw.
They hurriedly retreated, not daring to overstep a single step into the courtyard.
After a while, a guard captain reported to Liu Cheng via sound transmission, "Sect Leader, Nine Heavens Sect Master Du Youze has arrived and is outside. Do we let him in?"
Liu Cheng transmitted back, "Let him wait outside, as for Beidou Sword Sect Sect Master, Annihilation Valley Valley Master, if they arrive, there’s no need to report to me; have them all wait a hundred meters outside the courtyard. What status does the Saint Heir have, do they think they can simply gain an audience?" His voice left no room for argument.
Recognizing Liu Cheng’s dissatisfaction, the guards hurriedly complied, promptly keeping Nine Heavens Sect Master Du Youze and others waiting far outside the courtyard, at least a hundred meters away.
Despite Liu Cheng’s orders, Nine Heavens Sect Master Du Youze dared not express the slightest discontent.
Though he was indeed Du Youze, Nine Heavens Sect Master, a Supreme Sixth Rank expert holding a top position within Biluo Dynasty, he was still insignificant before a Holy Sect Saint Heir.
On Tian Niu Li Continent, countless dynasty emperors, innumerable Supreme Sect leaders yearn to meet a Holy Sect Saint Heir, but lack the opportunity.
"I wonder who this new Holy Sect Saint Heir is," Du Youze pondered while waiting a hundred meters outside the courtyard.
Along the way, he employed all Nine Heavens’ resources to inquire from the branch guards, even the captains and team leaders, but upon hearing it concerned the new Holy Sect Saint Heir, these guards and leaders were too frightened to utter a single word.
The Holy Sect has its regulations; matters relating to the Saint Heir are not for these minor branch captains and leaders to disclose, lest the Sect Leader is the first to crush them.
Soon, Beidou Sword Sect Sect Master, Annihilation Valley Valley Master, and Biluo Emperor all arrived; Song Fu and Song Shaokang arrived to see numerous powerhouses waiting outside, and were stunned.
With Liu Cheng’s approval, Song Shaokang, as a Holy Sect disciple, was allowed in the courtyard, but Song Fu was left to wait with Du Youze and others outside.
Both inside and outside the courtyard, thousands of powerhouses remained silent, all intensely focused on the Examination Hall, not daring to cause any distraction.
At this moment within the Examination Hall, Huang Xiaolong continued to stand within the Big Formation, thoroughly enjoying the bath of its radiance, reveling in the cleansing of its glow.
In contrast to Huang Xiaolong’s expression of enjoyment, Xiao Feng, standing outside the Big Formation, was increasingly fearful, his complexion growing paler.
He wanted to cry, to scream his heart out, to weep in despair. It was one thing getting close to Song Shaokang, but to offend this Huang Xiaolong for Song Shaokang— damn it! This Huang Xiaolong possesses the Holy Body, that’s one thing, but he also possesses Holy Veins, Enlightenment Saint Realm, and is indeed the Holy Sect Saint Heir!
Song Shaokang, you wretched spawn!
You bastard!
The more he thought, the more regretful he became. If choking Song Shaokang could plead for Huang Xiaolong’s forgiveness, he vowed he’d strangle Song Shaokang right now!
Strangling everyone in Beast Emperor Sect!
I drank tea with them, damn it, wasn’t this disgraceful? To meet Song Shaokang over tea, he deliberately made Huang Xiaolong wait an entire night!
He actually made a Holy Sect Saint Heir wait for him all night!
Thinking of this made his legs weak.
Amidst Xiao Feng’s regret, anger, resentment, fear, and uneasiness, after half a day, the Big Formation began to cease operation, the holy character restored, and the glow gradually faded.
