Chapter 0745: The Halsh Family’s Headquarters
Several elders suddenly knelt before Huang Long and his companions. The Halsh family’s descendants around them stared in shock, unable to process what was happening.
The first to react were servants like Keer; following the elders, they quickly knelt down. Only then did the Halsh family’s descendants awaken and also kneel. In an instant, tens of thousands of them knelt there. However, like the elders, they did not know Huang Long’s title and merely knelt in panic without greeting him.
Silence ensued.
Madi, the small leader who had sent the message to Keer and the others, was terrified, his face pale as he knelt there, trembling. Though he did not know Huang Long and his companions’ identities, even he realized they were not someone he could afford to provoke.
“Get up,” Huang Long said calmly after glancing at Madi and the others.
The Halsh family’s elders hesitated for a moment before standing up. Since Huang Long spoke, they dared not disobey.
Seeing this, the Halsh family’s descendants also stood up.
At that moment, the fourth elder of the Halsh family respectfully stepped forward, holding up the jade tablet with both hands and said, “My lord!”
Huang Long glanced at him, took the jade tablet, and placed it inside the Five Prison Divine Cauldron.
“My lord, may I ask who you are and what your relationship is to our family’s patriarch?” the fourth elder asked cautiously.
“That’s not something you should ask!” Huang Long replied with a cold gaze.
Feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure, the fourth elder quickly stammered, “Yes, yes! Yuan Bu was reckless!”
Huang Long remained expressionless, his thoughts hidden, before saying, “Take us to Nisir.” Originally, he could have had them send a message for Nisir to come and greet them personally, but considering the powerful beings from various tribes around, he preferred not to draw too much attention, so he decided to head straight to the Halsh family’s headquarters. After all, even if Huang Long and his companions had changed their appearances, attracting the attention of other tribes would not be good.
Hearing Huang Long’s words, the fourth elder breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded, “Yes, yes! My lords, please follow me!” With that, he and the other elders from the Halsh family led Huang Long and his companions.
From afar, the powerful beings from various tribes watched as Huang Long and his group walked away, discussing among themselves.
“Who are these people? How did they scare even the fourth elder of the Halsh family into kneeling?!”
“I don’t know, but they must be supreme divine warriors, right?”
“It doesn’t have to be a supreme godly powerhouse. That dark-haired young man gave the jade token to the fourth elder of the Halsh family—it should be a token from the Halsh family’s ancestor, Nisir. That dark-haired young man might very well be a descendant highly valued by Nisir!”
Huang Long and his companions had already gone far, ignoring the discussions behind them. If they knew they were being speculated to be Nisir’s descendants, they would surely be upset.
Meanwhile, led by the fourth elder of the Halsh family and others, Huang Long and his group arrived at the Halsh family’s main headquarters. Even before they reached there, a large crowd was already gathered in front of the headquarters.
Of course, this crowd consisted entirely of high-ranking members of the Halsh family, including the elders!
At the front was Nisir, the ancestor of the Halsh family. Along the way, the fourth elder had already sent word back to the headquarters. Upon hearing that someone had come carrying his token, and that it was a dark-haired young man, Nisir realized it was Huang Long. Frightened, he quickly left his secluded meditation room, summoned all the clan leaders and elders, and gathered them in front of the headquarters to await Huang Long and his group.
It was actually Huang Long who specifically asked him to wait there in front of the headquarters; otherwise, Nisir would have gone ahead to greet them.
Still, even so, the fourth elder and the others were quite shocked to see Nisir personally waiting for Huang Long and his group.
They had guessed Huang Long and his group’s identities along the way, thinking they were merely close friends of their ancestor Nisir. But now it seemed completely different.
When Nisir saw Huang Long and his group, he was momentarily stunned. At that moment, Huang Long’s voice rang in his mind: “It’s me!” Only then was Nisir sure it was Huang Long.
“Nisir pays his respects to Lord Huang Hai!” Once convinced, Nisir quickly bowed to Huang Long.
Huang Long had just sent a message telling him to address himself as Lord Huang Hai, and Nisir immediately understood what Huang Long meant—his master didn’t want his identity revealed.
“Pays respects to Lord Huang Hai!” At that moment, all the elders of the Halsh family also bowed to Huang Long.
“Get up,” Huang Long said after glancing at Nisir and the others.
Only then did Nisir and the others stand up tremblingly.
Then, Huang Long introduced Huang Liang, Huang Yi, Pi Long Zherom, and his identity as the Fire Yang Divine King. However, when introducing the Fire Yang Divine King, he only said that he was the ancestor of a certain family in the Chaos Divine Realm, a supreme godly powerhouse.
After all, if it became known that a divine king powerhouse had arrived at the Halsh family, it would be inappropriate.
Nisir bowed to Huang Liang and the others one by one.
After the greetings, Nisir and the elders of the family welcomed Huang Long into the Halsh family’s headquarters. Once inside, they entered the main hall. When Huang Long asked the head of the Halsh family and the elders to leave, they hesitated. Seeing this, Nisir angrily shouted, “From now on, what Lord Huang Hai says is my word. Didn’t you hear what Lord Huang Hai said? All of you, leave!” Only then did the head of the Halsh family and the elders truly realize Huang Long’s true identity and status. They quickly agreed and hurriedly left the hall. After they left, Nisir activated the hall’s restrictions to isolate it from the outside world, then respectfully said to Huang Long, “Master, I wonder why you have come this time?” He looked at Huang Long anxiously. These days, he had been meditating in the headquarters, waiting for Huang Long’s arrival, as Huang Long had instructed him to wait there before leaving last time. Naturally, Nisir did not dare to leave the Halsh family’s headquarters at all. Huang Long replied calmly, “I heard that the next competition for control of the Hongmeng Continent will be held in two years in your Hongmeng Realm?” A competition for control of the Hongmeng Continent? Nisir was stunned. Could it be that the master was interested in this competition? “Master, do you intend to participate in this competition?” Nisir asked cautiously. Huang Long did not hide it and nodded; there was nothing to hide about it. Seeing Huang Long nod, Nisir was slightly surprised—he didn’t expect Huang Long to actually want to participate in this competition. “Master, but according to past rules, only the three thousand races of Hongmeng are eligible to participate!” Nisir hesitated for a moment before adding that although their Halsh family was not weaker than some of the Hongmeng races, they were not among those three thousand races and thus did not qualify to compete.
