Chapter 0173: The Golden Sacred Object

The arrival of Huang Long and his companions caused both fighting sides to stop.
Over a hundred members of the Obu family stared at Huang Long and his group as they approached slowly.
The man who had shouted earlier must be the leader of the Obu family’s members. Seeing Huang Long and his group coming, he gave a signal to the other Obu family members, who immediately surrounded them from behind, clearly aiming to prevent them from escaping.
Satisfied that his men had trapped the newcomers, the leader sneered, “You lot are just unlucky to have stumbled into something you shouldn’t have. When you die, don’t blame us.” With that, he ordered his men to kill Huang Long and his companions.
The Golden Giant clan was powerful, and even the Obu family had to consider the troubles that could arise if news leaked. That’s why they planned to silence them—no matter their identities.
But at that moment, several Obu family members around him suddenly began trembling, staring at the newcomers in terror—specifically at the young man riding a green ox among them, as if they had seen a terrifying demon. One of them even collapsed to the ground.
The panicked reactions of these Obu family members puzzled the others.
“Shawn, what are you doing?!” the leader snapped, shouting at the one who had collapsed.
The terrified man ignored his outburst and kept backing away while staring at Huang Long, stammering, “Huang, Huang…”
But after repeating “Huang” several times, he still couldn’t say what exactly he meant.
Annoyed, the leader stepped forward, grabbed him, and slapped him in the face. “Shameless! What ‘Huang’? Could it possibly be Huang Long?!”
Yet after shouting that, suddenly, everything around him fell dead silent. All sounds seemed to cease, even the wind. The surrounding area was filled with an eerie quiet.
The leader also stopped abruptly, his expression frozen, as he looked at the man he had grabbed, hoping to get an answer from his eyes.
The man’s eyes were filled with terror, but he nodded.

The leader of the Obu clan was stunned by this nod, his head spinning as he struggled to turn his stiff neck. He looked around at his clan members, who were just as terrified as he was. Finally, his gaze fell on Huang Long and his group, stopping on the young man riding a green ox. The leader of the Obu clan forced out a smile even uglier than crying. He opened his mouth, seemingly trying to say something, but all that came out were incoherent murmurs. Hearing his gibbering, Gusta snapped, “Kid, what are you babbling about? If you can’t speak, then shut up!” Frightened, the leader of the Obu clan trembled violently; his shaking legs could no longer support him, and he fell to the ground, crying out, “Yes, yes, senior!” Under Gusta’s shout, his speech became clearer. With Gusta’s command, many other Obu clan members also collapsed in terror. Huang Long’s arrival hadn’t changed his appearance, and many of these clan members had participated in the last Dark Forest Empire competition and had seen Huang Long from afar. They had a deep impression of him as the dragon slayer. As Huang Long approached, those terrified Obu clan members were the first to recognize him. Riding his sky-blue python ox, Huang Long appeared before them. All the Obu clan members knelt there in shock. At that moment, even those who had never seen Huang Long knew who he was—Huang Long! For the Obu clan, he was now nothing short of a demon in their eyes. The Blizzard Empire had been destroyed! The entire Obu clan had been in terror these days, with even the elders living in constant fear. Now, many people on the Hengyuan Continent were saying that after destroying the Blizzard Empire, Huang Long would next target the Obu clan, since it was the Obu clan that had orchestrated the deaths of the Zhao family. That Diana had used the power of the Obu clan. However, everyone only speculated about Huang Long destroying the Obu clan and didn’t know when he would arrive. They never expected that this demon would come now—finally. What did Huang Long’s appearance here mean? Not far from here was the Obu clan’s territory. There was no way Huang Long had come just to enjoy the scenery. The faces of these Obu clan members turned deathly pale.

“Who is a direct descendant of the Obu family?” At that moment, Huang Long’s calm voice rang out.
Although he didn’t know what Huang Long intended to do next, the leader of those Obu family descendants stood up in terror among the over a hundred of them and said tremblingly, “Huang, Senior Huang Long, I… it’s me.”
“You are?” Huang Long smiled calmly.
“Yes, yes, it’s me,” the leader stammered, his legs refusing to obey him.
He had actually harbored murderous intent toward Huang Long and his group just now.
Murderous intent toward Huang Long? Even if he wasn’t a direct descendant of the Obu family, surely he would still face consequences?
To his surprise, however, Huang Long merely smiled at him before riding away on his mount.
Stunned, just as he felt relieved to have saved his life, Nat rode by on his magical beast, the Twin-Demon Tiger. The tiger seemed to accidentally swing its tails, brushing against him.
With a scream, the direct descendant of the Obu family flew backward to the ground, still wearing a look of shock on his face.
The death of this direct descendant caused panic among the other Obu family descendants, but none dared to flee; they all stared at Huang Long and his group in fear.
Borg shook his head as he looked at the dead direct descendant of the Obu family.
Their purpose in coming here was to destroy the Obu family.
With the deaths of the Zhao family members, how could a direct descendant of the Obu family possibly escape?
“Young master, what about them?” Nat asked respectfully from behind Huang Long, referring to what should be done with these Obu family descendants.
Just as Huang Long was about to speak, suddenly, a thunderous roar came from afar: “Obu family, how dare you harm my son!” Followed by loud booms from the ground.
Huang Long was taken aback and stayed silent, along with Borg and the others, watching as the newcomers approached.
It was the Golden Giant clan.
There were no less than a hundred Golden Giants in this group, with a giant standing at the forefront—seven or eight meters tall, his copper-sized eyes blazing with anger. The roar earlier had come from this giant’s mouth.
It seemed this giant must be the leader of the Golden Giant clan.
After arriving, the Golden Giants glared at the Obu family descendants present and began killing them without hesitation.
When El, the leader of the Golden Giant clan, received reports that his people had fled and that the Obu family had tried to stop his son, he brought over a hundred skilled warriors with him.

In front of these giants of the Golden Giant clan, the more than a hundred members of the Obu family screamed in agony as they were sent soaring into the sky one after another. Before long, all of them fell silent. The young clan leader of the Golden Giant clan, who had been surrounded and attacked by the Obu family, saw his father and the clan’s experts arrive and smiled with joy. He went up to his father, Er, and called out, “Father!” Seeing that his son was unharmed, Er patted his shoulder with his huge hand, laughing heartily, “Son, it’s good that you’re alive!” Eryou gave a bitter smile and quickly recounted what had happened. When he heard that the young man riding the green ox was actually Huang Long, the clan leader of the Golden Giants was shocked. Then, with a look of delight, he approached Huang Long and bowed in gratitude. By then, the Golden Giants who had dealt with the Obu family’s members also knew the identity of the young man before them, and all stared at Huang Long with fervor. The Golden Giant clan revered strength above all else, and their admiration for Huang Long was no less intense than that of the dwarf clan. Cheers of “Elder Huang Long” rang out continuously. Bog and the others stared in astonishment at the scene. Huang Long also smiled bitterly—the voices of these Golden Giants were simply too loud. As Er and the others insisted on inviting Huang Long to stay and thank him for saving their clan members earlier, Huang Long and his companions had no choice but to follow them to the territory where the Golden Giants lived. The Golden Giants lived in a mountain range stretching for dozens of miles within the Primeval Forest. Their entire clan numbered only six or seven thousand people, living in caves within these mountains. Upon arriving at the mountain range, Huang Long sensed a strong aura of gold. “This is the land chosen by our ancestor, the Golden God, for our Golden Giant clan to thrive,” Er said respectfully to Huang Long after leading them there. The Golden God? Huang Long didn’t know much about the Golden Giant clan, so he asked about the Obu family’s attempt to ambush Er’s son earlier. Er didn’t hide anything and said, “The Golden Divine Artifact is a defensive weapon left to us by our ancestor, the Golden God. If activated, even the strongest beings from the Divine Realm would find it difficult to break through its defenses. I think the Obu family wants this artifact to use against Elder Huang Long.” Even the strongest beings from the Divine Realm find it hard to break through its defenses? Huang Long was stunned.

“Our ancestor, Lord Golden God, was a mighty being in the divine realm over ten thousand years ago. This sacred object of the Golden God was crafted by him himself before he ascended to the divine realm,” Eer explained, thinking that Huang Long and the others might not believe it.
