Chapter 1022: It’s Indeed the Yellow Dragon!

This time, the Yellow Dragon killed nine warriors from Wu Huang, including two powerhouses from the 12th Era—one at the early stage of the 12th Era and the other at the peak of the middle stage of the 12th Era. There were three from the 11th Era, three from the 10th Era, and one at the peak of the late 9th Era. For the Yellow Dragon’s 12th Era level, the vital energy, essence, and laws of the lower eras were far too insufficient to make a difference; those from the 11th Era were barely sufficient. Thus, the Yellow Dragon did not refine those three from the 10th and 9th Eras but kept them for future use by the Huang family.

First, the Yellow Dragon refined those three from the 11th Era. Sitting in the center of the Sacred Cauldron Formation, it channeled its cultivation techniques to continuously absorb the vital energy, essence, and laws of those three powerhouses. Meanwhile, in the Sacred Cauldron, Long Cheng and the others were also cultivating.

Time passed. Tens of thousands of years went by. Once the Yellow Dragon had fully refined the vital energy, essence, and laws from those three 11th Era powerhouses, it finally broke through to the middle stage of the 12th Era!

Next, it began refining the powerhouse from the early stage of the 12th Era, and finally, Wu Huang, who was at the peak of the middle stage of the 12th Era.

…

Billions of miles away from the valley where the Yellow Dragon and others were hiding, atop a dense forest, space rippled, and Qing Cang’s figure appeared. Then, Jiu Long Zi Long Yi and the others from the Golden Dragon Clan also appeared one after another. Qing Cang stood high in the sky, looking down at the forest. With a single palm press, the ancient trees in the forest were crushed like by a divine mountain, turning to dust. The ground trembled and cracked.

Suddenly, a shout rang out as a figure shot up from beneath the ground. It was Si Wu Xing, who had been severely wounded by the Yellow Dragon and fled here.

“Qing Cang of the Heavenly Dao Sect, it’s you!” Si Wu Xing was shocked upon seeing Qing Cang and the others after rising from the ground.

“Yes, it’s me!” Qing Cang replied indifferently. “Si Wu Xing truly lives up to being the grand elder of the Corpse Demon Sect. You hid well. Without my Light of Reincarnation, it would have been difficult to find you!”

Si Wu Xing snorted coldly. “What do you want from me? Qing Cang, don’t think just because you’re the top disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect that I’m afraid of you!”

Qing Cang remained indifferent. “Is that so? I didn’t expect Si Wu Xing, the famous grand elder of the Corpse Demon Sect, to still be so defiant even after being severely wounded and hiding here! Do you really think I can’t kill you now?!”

Long Yi and the others remained silent.

Si Wu Xing’s face turned red with anger as he glared at Qing Cang. “You!”

But just then, a figure flashed by. Shi Wuxing was startled. Upon looking, he saw it was Qing Cang, so he retreated in panic. At the same time, the Corpse Poison Demon Palm met Qing Cang’s attacking palm.
“Bang!” With a loud noise, Shi Wuxing felt his body jolt violently as he was pushed back. His right arm went numb, and the pain from his internal injuries caused him to spit out blood.
“You, wait!” Pushed back by the shock, Shi Wuxing, seeing Qing Cang about to attack again, was both frightened and angry as he shouted.
Qing Cang stopped and said coldly, “Well? I told you—it wasn’t hard for me to kill you!”
Shi Wuxing’s face twisted in pain as he gave a grim smile. “If it weren’t for being severely injured by someone else, Qing Cang, do you think you could have hurt me just now?!” With that, he glanced at Long Yi and the others. “You came looking for me because you want to know who injured me, right?!”
“That’s right!” Long Yi replied.
“It doesn’t hurt to tell you!” Shi Wuxing relaxed slightly and slowly said to everyone, “It was Huang Long!”
“Huang Long?! It’s really Huang Long!”
“I can’t believe that Huang Long actually came in?!”
“If that Huang Long is here, we must find him and seize the Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth!”
As soon as Shi Wuxing finished speaking, Long Yi and the others became agitated, filled with excitement, and started discussing among themselves.
In their eyes, this Huang Long was a treasure—a being who possessed sacred artifacts like the Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. Capturing him would grant them a supreme divine artifact from the Way of Heaven and a hundred top-tier spiritual veins!
“Is that Huang Long Jin Guang?” Just as everyone was excited, Qing Cang’s voice rang out. Hearing this, everyone stopped and stared at Shi Wuxing intently.
Shi Wuxing was taken aback. He looked at Qing Cang, not expecting him to know that Jin Guang was Huang Long.
“That’s right, Jin Guang is Huang Long!” Shi Wuxing nodded.
There was no need to hide it.
Hearing that Jin Guang was Huang Long, everyone became even more excited and agitated.
“Where’s my second brother? Isn’t he with you? Why isn’t he here? And where are the other four strongmen he recruited?” Suddenly, Long Yi thought of a very important question.
Everyone quieted down again, and Qing Cang also stared at Shi Wuxing.
“The other four are all dead!” Shi Wuxing sighed, as if recalling something terrifying, his eyes flashing with panic.
“What? All four of them are dead?!” Long Yi and the others were shocked, even Qing Cang was surprised.

“What’s going on? That Yellow Dragon may be strong, but even with the three experts my elder brother recruited, it’s impossible for them to seriously injure you and kill those four others, right?!” After being shocked, Long Yi said, “Could it be that my elder brother and the other brothers joined forces? That’s how they managed to seriously injure you and kill those four others?!”
Si Wu Xing smiled bitterly upon hearing this: “Joined forces? Indeed, we did!” Just as Long Yi looked convinced, Si Wu Xing added, “But it wasn’t your elder brother and the other brothers who joined forces—it was us and your third brother. Twelve of us teamed up to attack those five of them!”
“What?! My second and third brothers joined forces, and you twelve can’t even take on my elder brother and his five men?!” Long Yi exclaimed in shock, as if hearing something utterly unbelievable.
The other experts also changed color in shock.
Even Qing Cang’s expression shifted slightly.
Si Wu Xing nodded: “To be precise, even twelve of us can’t handle that Yellow Dragon!” At these words, Si Wu Xing’s face filled with fear: “That Yellow Dragon is simply too strong, too incredibly strong!”
Long Yi and the others were completely stunned.
Si Wu Xing meant that twelve people fought against one Yellow Dragon?!
“You don’t believe me?” Si Wu Xing smiled sadly. “If I hadn’t fought that Yellow Dragon, I wouldn’t believe it either! The martial artist Wu Huang, whom your third brother recruited, is dead, along with the other eight. If I hadn’t escaped quickly, I would likely have died there too. I wouldn’t be hiding here recovering now!”
Si Wu Xing’s terrified, desolate voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
Those who had been excited and eager to kill the Yellow Dragon and seize the Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth now felt as if they had been drenched in cold rain, their hearts and bodies chilled.
Everyone present knew that Wu Huang was a peak warrior from the middle of the Twelve Eras. Yet even such a strong man was killed when he joined forces with Si Wu Xing—what about them?
