Chapter 0965: Some Saint Son?

Jiang Chen and the three others changed expressions, rushing to Huang Long’s side and glaring angrily at You Yuan.
“You Yuan, stop talking nonsense! Hand over half of the Scarlet Blood Divine Beads? Back then, Brother Huang Long made a bet with the Grand Elder—any Scarlet Blood Divine Beads found would all belong to him!” Jiang Chen couldn’t contain his anger.
The powerful warriors who had been leaving gradually also stopped in response.
Originally, they were unaware of Huang Long’s bet with Ji Wushuang. Now they understood—it was a bet where if ten thousand Scarlet Blood Divine Beads were found, Ji Wushuang would hand over the Heavenly Soul Stone, and all the Scarlet Blood Divine Beads obtained by Huang Long would belong to him.
Ji Wushuang had agreed to these terms, but it seemed she might back out now?!
Some of the powerful warriors, having understood what had happened, were also furious.
Ji Wushuang and Huang Long stared at each other for a while before Ji Wushuang suddenly burst into laughter. “Has there ever been a time when I, Ji Wushuang, failed to keep my word? It was Elder You Yuan who was reckless. Please don’t take it personally, Brother Huang Long. Here’s the Heavenly Soul Stone!” With that, she waved her hand, sending a fist-sized stone flying toward Huang Long.
The stone was light black, completely smooth, with dark clouds-like aura surrounding it—it was indeed the Heavenly Soul Stone.
Huang Long caught it with one hand. “Grand Elder Ji Wushuang, as expected, you keep your word!” He smiled before turning to You Yuan, “So, I don’t need to hand over that half of the Scarlet Blood Divine Beads?”
“Of course not!” Ji Wushuang laughed. “Elder You Yuan was just joking with you earlier!”
“Is that so?” Huang Long smiled. “So Elder You Yuan was just joking?” His tone shifted. “But I think such jokes are better avoided—otherwise, it could lead to misunderstandings.”
After saying that, Huang Long turned and flew away. Jiang Chen and the three others followed.
Seeing this, the powerful warriors gradually dispersed.
As Huang Long’s figure disappeared, Ji Wushuang’s smile vanished, her eyes turning cold. “Grand Elder, that kid… him!” You Yuan pointed at Huang Long, filled with resentment.
Ji Wushuang raised her hand and sneered, “He can’t escape the World of Chaotic Demons. Let’s go back and discuss this!” Then she turned to Fang Haotian beside her and said, “Elder Fang Haotian, it’s rare for you to come. How about visiting my cave?”
Fang Haotian smiled and nodded. “I’d be honored to follow your invitation!”
By then, Huang Long and Jiang Chen and the three others had returned to the Jiang Clan Mountains. After returning, Huang Long chose to enter seclusion.

There are still five months left until the Tianyi Mansion auction, so Huang Long retreated into seclusion, waiting until that day to reappear. By then, after acquiring that mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact through the auction, he would head to the World of Ten Thousand Demons to see if he could obtain the Demon Devouring Fruit from the Young Master of the Blood Demon Sect. Then he would go to Mount Heaven-Subverting Demon to retrieve the other half of the treasure map left by the Ancestor of Heaven-Subverting Demons. Although he didn’t care much about the Ancestor’s treasures, having them was still better than nothing. Moreover, having been a peak warrior at the end of eleven eras in his lifetime, the treasures should be quite valuable. Half a year—180 days—equaled 1.8 million years within the Sacred Cauldron. Over those 1.8 million years, Huang Long continuously consumed Supreme Divine Pills for cultivation, and combined with his prior accumulation, he finally triggered the destruction calamity of nine eras. The destructive power of these nine eras was more than five times that of eight eras! Meanwhile, after devouring the third fragment of the World Tree from the molten lava and over fifty additional fragments later, the power of the World Tree itself also multiplied several times. Coupled with Huang Long’s formidable physical form, he finally overcame the destruction calamity of those nine eras and became a warrior of those eras. Once he broke through those nine eras, his strength became several times greater than before! The higher one ascends, the greater the gap in strength with each new era, so someone like Huang Long, who could defeat opponents beyond his level, was truly a monster. After breaking through those nine eras, Huang Long’s Soul Sea became even more closely linked to the World Tree. He even had a premonition that once he achieved sainthood and understood the laws of the universe, he might become the World Tree itself—where the World Tree was him! Huang Long stood up and left the Sacred Cauldron with Huang Yi and the others, bidding farewell to Jiang Chen. Hearing that Huang Long was leaving, Jiang Chen was reluctant but understood that Huang Long couldn’t stay in the Jiang Clan Mountains for long, so they could only wish each other good luck. “Brother Huang Long, be careful of Youyuan and Fang Haotian. During your seclusion, those two have been sending people to investigate your whereabouts,” Jiang Chen warned Huang Long before he left. Huang Long smiled at this and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful!” Youyuan only had the strength of six eras, and Huang Long could easily defeat him with a single move. As for Fang Haotian, although he posed a bit more trouble, Huang Long didn’t take him seriously either. With his current strength, combined with the Eighteen Golden Divine Annihilation Formation, he might even be able to kill Fang Haotian if he struck at an inopportune moment. Huang Long left the Jiang Clan Mountains and headed toward the Tianyi Divine Realm.Peerless Peak. “That Huang Long has finally left the Jiang Clan Mountains!” Youyuan sneered. “There’s no time to lose! Let’s set off now!” Fang Haotian beside him grew impatient.

Ji Wushuang said calmly, “Don’t worry, he can’t escape!” Turning his head, he looked at the middle-aged man to his left and said, “You Shi, go with Elder Fang Haotian. Working together, even if that Yellow Dragon has the power to reach the heavens, he still can’t escape!”
“Yes, Great Elder!” You Shi replied respectfully.
You Shi, who was at the peak of the first ten eras, combined with Fang Haotian—in Ji Wushuang’s view, that was enough to defeat the Yellow Dragon.
Ji Wushuang nodded and waved his hand.
Everyone stood up and left.
After leaving the hall, You Yuan, You Shi, and Fang Haotian headed in the direction the Yellow Dragon had flown off.
“Is this kid going to the Tianyi Divine Realm? Could it be he’s going to attend the auction at the Tianyi Mansion’s headquarters?” You Yuan wondered in surprise as he watched the Yellow Dragon enter the Tianyi Divine Realm.
“If that’s the case, let’s wait until he attends the auction and leaves the Tianyi Mansion’s headquarters before killing him!” Fang Haotian mused.
You Shi nodded in agreement.
When the Yellow Dragon arrived in the Tianyi Divine Realm and sensed Fang Haotian and the others following him, he sneered.
The auction at the Tianyi Mansion’s headquarters attracted strong figures from all realms, resulting in a massive crowd and bustling activity.
When the Yellow Dragon arrived at the main hall of the Tianyi Mansion, a path was cleared in the crowd, and several people stepped forward—none other than Hao He, the Great Elder of the Tianyi Mansion, who had come to greet him after receiving word.
“Brother Huang Hai, you’ve finally arrived!” Hao He laughed heartily.
The Yellow Dragon returned the smile with a fist bow: “Of course I had to come. I hope it’s not too late!”
“Not late at all!” Hao He said, leading the Yellow Dragon to the premium VIP hall that had been prepared for him. “You’ve come just in time—the auction is tomorrow!”
The Yellow Dragon nodded with a smile.
Seeing that the Yellow Dragon could even draw Hao He out to greet him, the people in the hall began to discuss among themselves.
“Who is this kid? Why did Great Elder Hao He come to greet him?!”
“Could he be some kind of Saint Son?!”
As the crowd speculated, the Yellow Dragon and the others arrived at the premium VIP hall.
“There’s another good news for Brother Huang Hai. Besides that set of mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts, two more mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts have been added to the auction—called the Nine-Nine Twin Sword, a pair of yin-yang swords!” Hao He said with a smile after leading the Yellow Dragon inside the hall.
Previously, the Green Dragon and Fire Phoenix swords that the Yellow Dragon had purchased were also a pair of yin-yang swords.
