Chapter 2450 - 1425
Luo Yaxuan was unaware that Huang Chen was in the Hell Palace, watching them from afar.
Lai Jianlin was also unaware that Huang Chen was inside this Hell Palace, not knowing that both of their teams were seen by Huang Chen.
Su Chang’an was unaware too, that the Huang Chen he killed was also at the Hell Palace.
Even if he knew, he believed Huang Chen deserved to die!
Years ago, he only killed without soul destruction, and yet Huang Chen was still cultivating in the Hell Palace all this time.
Su Chang’an was quite strong, even other cultivators couldn’t discover Huang Chen, nor did any other team.
Perhaps it was because Huang Chen had lost his former arrogance and temper, and was protected by his magical treasure, so others couldn’t sense the aura of resentment.
Huang Chen didn’t know that his family, in seeking revenge for him, made an agreement with the Saint Sect, and even the people of the Saint Sect knew that if they didn’t kill the Huang Family, they couldn’t be allowed to enter the sect.
His family members, knowing resistance was futile, watched as their rival families rose, and thought of robbing, hoping to acquire wealth and good stuff, then buy top-tier pills.
However, they had no channels, and their evil deeds had been discovered, even known by several other families.
Seeing other families unite with the intention of annihilating them, they considered taking advantage of the demon attack, hoping to secretly ally with a few smaller countries that came to hunt in Great Xia Country.
But their schemes were thwarted before they could be realized.
Then they realized that their people couldn’t compare to those of justice in the cultivation world, with their enormous teams.
Because of justice uniting them, perhaps some joined the holy path; certain families and enemies joined forces, forcing them to withdraw and leave their homeland.
Huang Lei thought that with his father and some team members heading out during the human-demon and minor country attacks, they could take advantage to gain benefits, even considering an alliance with scoundrels.
However, once they acted, they were discovered by some stronger cultivators, and when united, they couldn’t compete and had to hide.
In hiding, they saw others continuously gaining resources and power, while they remained stagnant, thinking of ambushing outside a certain base.
But they found their targets didn’t appear, even though they found a powerful swordsmanship manual in a cave.
Thinking they had mastered it, and it was time to counterattack, they found that while they thought they were powerful, others had not stood still either.
They had superior pills, more top-tier pills, and cultivation resources that boosted their strength quickly.
They also possessed bases where they could rapidly enhance their strength.
When the cultivation world was in turmoil, their family moved, thinking they could take advantage of the chaos to do some looting and gain considerable benefits.
Regrettably, others were too formidable, and after leaving their homeland, the Huang Family watched others grow strong while they remained weak.
The family moved to an island, only to find its spiritual energy even poorer.
Trying to seize opportunities during human cultivator and demon conflicts, or when foreigners arrived, they wanted to loot again.
Unfortunately, they had too few and weak connections.
Huang Lei and others devised a plan: not only would they change their names, they would also disguise themselves so that even familiar people wouldn’t recognize them.
Believing this would help them meet some Saint Sect members, giving them a chance to enter the Saint Sect, and strengthen themselves to avenge later.
But alas, their enemies were too strong, designing formations that barred those with poor intentions from entering the base and the Saint Sect.
Huang Lei and his companions, for several years, wandered all over the cultivation world.
Later, they joined some noble families in the Capital City, but they joined a faction of the Prime Minister, who had enemies among their foes and others.
Huang Lei exploited this point, as the young ones started their official careers, being nobles’ children who had superior learning and skills compared to many playboys.
The Prime Minister saw his son ruin himself; he, too, was ruined, but unwilling to die so simply, unwilling to give up.
Now others sought refuge with him, and whether they had ulterior motives or not, they seemed aligned with his heart, all sharing enmity with certain people.
Seeing this, the Prime Minister decided to leverage this, and the Huang family youths joined his faction, which included some officials and families with daughters.
Both sides wanted to bind each other, thus proceeded with marriages.
The Prime Minister also had a daughter, though a concubine’s daughter, Huang Lei was willing to marry her for the position and wealth; even a concubine’s daughter had a dowry larger than a legitimate daughter’s from other officials.
Huang Lei thought that after the new daughter came, she would advance his career and contribute to their precarious family.
Huang Lei and the Huang family members, though initially intending to keep a low profile, later on did not, but frequently disguised and wore masks when outside.
