Chapter 0662: Do You Want to Be the Head of the Huang Family?

Tang Haiyun stood there motionless, his expression shifting constantly—uncertain and volatile.
This news was too sudden, too shocking!
Sander, a magical beast at the peak of the Middle Divine Realm, had been killed. It was easy to guess the identity of the killer—someone who was not at the late stage of the Divine Realm, but at least at its peak, or possibly even a god-tier powerhouse!
A god-tier powerhouse?!
The appearance of such a being in the Hengyuan Realm meant what? It meant that the power balance in this realm could change drastically at any moment.
For the first time, Tang Haiyun felt extremely troubled.
Over the past few decades, the Tanghai Empire had continued to expand, with a strong military. He had long aimed to unify the entire Hengyuan Realm. Now, with the sudden emergence of a god-tier powerhouse, who knew what unpredictable changes might occur?
“Your Majesty!” Lodor spoke cautiously after seeing Tang Haiyun standing there for so long.
Tang Haiyun snapped back to reality, steadied himself, and said, “Tell me everything in detail!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Lodor replied respectfully, not daring to hide anything, and quickly recounted everything he knew.
When Tang Haiyun heard that Ip had attacked from behind in the library, he gave Lodor a sharp look. Feeling the emperor’s intense gaze, Lodor broke into sweat.
He had also been terrified when he learned of his grandson’s actions. But thanks to the blessings of the ancestors of the Lohar family, Ip wasn’t killed in the end.
“So, it was that person’s pet who killed Sander?!” Tang Haiyun exclaimed in shock upon hearing that Sander was killed by the pet.
If even the pet of such a person could kill Sander, then what about their identity and strength?!
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Lodor replied with a serious expression.
“A young man with black hair, around twenty years old!” Tang Haiyun murmured to himself. “Which family from a divine realm has come to our Hengyuan Realm for no reason?”
Tang Haiyun knew something about the cost of teleporting from a divine realm to a mortal realm—most divine realm families couldn’t afford it.
“Your Majesty, could they have come from the Tianyun Dimensional Space?” Lodor guessed.
“Tianyun Dimensional Space?” Tang Haiyun’s expression turned strange.
The ancestors of the Tanghai Empire had significant conflicts with the people of Chiyen Star in that space.
“Retire for now!” Tang Haiyun said after a while.
Lodor bowed respectfully and left.
In the Golden Throne Hall, Tang Haiyun paced back and forth, growing more and more uneasy. In the end, he decided to go to the imperial palace to report this matter to his ancestors properly.

Wandering through the twists and turns of the palace, Tang Haiyun arrived at the forbidden area of the imperial palace. He then knelt in front of one of the palaces and said, “Your grandson, Tang Haiyun, pays his respects to the Ancestor!”
After a long silence, an aged and hoarse voice rang out, “Yun’er, why have you come to see me?”
Tang Haiyun immediately recounted the events at the Divine Wind Academy. When he mentioned that Sander had been killed by that dark-haired young man, suddenly, the space ahead trembled violently. Then, a thin old man with silver hair flowing freely stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with intensity, “Sander, that big guy, is dead?!”
This was Tang Haitian, the Ancestor of the Tang Hai Empire—a powerful warrior at the peak of the Divine Realm!
“Yes, Ancestor!” Tang Haiyun replied respectfully.
Tang Haitian’s snow-white eyebrows, each half a foot long, twitched slightly. Amid Tang Haiyun’s unease, he slowly spoke, “I’m aware of this matter. You may go back now.”
Tang Haiyun opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing and respectfully withdrew.
After Tang Haiyun left, Tang Haitian vanished in a flash, turning into a white light and heading north—toward the headquarters of the War God Gate, the Divine Mountain!
It wasn’t long before Tang Haitian arrived at the Divine Mountain.
Inside a palace deep within the Divine Mountain, a middle-aged man covered in flames opened his eyes. Two streams of flame shot through the void to attack Tang Haitian.
Seeing this, Tang Haitian moved effortlessly, with waves of white light emerging to form a barrier that blocked the attacks.
“Hehe, it’s been over a decade since we last met, War Dragon. Your strength has grown even more!” Tang Haitian chuckled.
At that moment, the space fluctuated, and the middle-aged man from deep within the Divine Mountain appeared in mid-air. This man was none other than War Dragon, the leader of the War God Gate!
War Dragon’s eyes burned with fierce battle flames as he stared at Tang Haitian’s face and said, “The same goes for you, Old Tang. What brings you to my War God Gate? Do you have any advice?”
“I wouldn’t dare give advice!” Tang Haitian smiled on his dry face. “Why don’t you invite me inside your War God Palace to sit?”
War Dragon gave him a deep look before gesturing for him to enter.
The two vanished in a flash and reappeared deep within the War God Palace, without disturbing anyone else from the War God Gate.
Upon entering the War God Palace, waves of heat hit them.
Tang Haitian said in a hoarse voice, “It seems that even ordinary people can’t just wander in and sit in your War God Palace.”
The entire War God Palace was made of flame stones, making it extremely hot. Even ordinary warriors from the Sacred Realm would find it difficult to enter.
War Dragon chuckled, “Isn’t the imperial palace of your Tang Hai Empire the same?”

The two entered the grand hall and sat down in order. Tang Haitian didn’t beat around the bush and recounted the matters regarding the Divine Wind Academy. Upon hearing that Sande had been killed, the originally calm War Dragon’s expression changed drastically, his shock impossible to conceal. After Tang Haitian finished speaking, the grand hall fell into dead silence. “A god-tier powerhouse?” After a long silence, the War Dragon’s aura surged, flames sweeping through him as his fighting spirit soared. Seeing this, Tang Haitian shook his head. Could this War Dragon really dare to challenge a god-tier powerhouse? Although this War Dragon was very strong—even Tang Haitian feared him—challenging a god-tier powerhouse seemed a bit much. “My plan is to go to the Arctic Peak with you to meet the Realm Guardian. What do you think?” Tang Haitian pondered. The War Dragon’s fighting spirit gradually subsided as he restrained it within himself, his eyes flickering before he finally nodded. Before leaving, however, the War Dragon went to the outer hall of the War God Palace, gave some instructions regarding the War God Sect, and then flew away with Tang Haitian toward the Arctic Peak. Meanwhile, in the palace of the Tang Hai Empire, after meeting his ancestor Tang Haitian, Tang Haiyun returned to the palace hall, feeling much more at ease. Since his ancestor was aware of this matter, he would surely pay close attention. Although his ancestor was only at the peak of the Divine Realm, he knew how to use secret techniques to fight against lower-tier divine powerhouses. After some thought, Tang Haiyun summoned Liodar. “Great Emperor, I wonder why you’ve summoned me?” Liodar asked cautiously after bowing. Tang Haiyun pondered, “If I’m not mistaken, the Dragon God Family Assembly is in a few days, right?” “Yes, Great Emperor, it’s in five days!” Seeing that Tang Haiyun was asking about this, Liodar understood his intention and said, “Huang Feng said that at the family assembly, he can overwhelm all the elders and make the Dragon God Family pledge allegiance to the Tang Hai Empire—provided he gets what he wants.” At this point, Liodar hesitated. “What does he want?” Tang Haiyun’s expression darkened. “Huang Feng’s first condition is to be granted a hereditary imperial title. Additionally, the Dragon God Mountains must remain the eternal territory of his family. His second condition is that he wants that Ice Dragon Egg!” Liodar said hesitantly. “What?! That old scoundrel actually dares to demand that Ice Dragon Egg!” Tang Haiyun roared, standing up as his aura as a late-stage Sacred Realm powerhouse surged. Liodar’s heart skipped a beat as he lowered his head.

The Ice and Snow Dragon Egg is a treasure of the Tanghai Empire. Once hatched, with time, this Ice and Snow Dragon will surely grow into a powerful being in the Divine Realm—a divine beast of immense value. However, the Dragon God Mountains lie between the Tanghai Empire and the Haya Empire, posing a significant obstacle to the Tanghai Empire’s efforts to unify the Hengyuan Realm and attack the Haya Empire.

The Tanghai Empire has considered conquering the Dragon God Mountains first, but the Dragon God Family, which controls them, is extremely powerful. A forced attack could also allow the Haya Empire to take advantage of the situation.

The Haya Empire shares this concern, which is why they have not attacked the Dragon God Family. After all, the current head of the Dragon God Family, Huang Feng, is a powerful being from the Divine Realm, and every elder among them is a strong figure from the Sacred Realm!

If the Dragon God Family could pledge allegiance to the Tanghai Empire, this problem could easily be resolved.

Tang Haiyun sent Lodor to convey his intentions. To his surprise, Huang Feng agreed, but then demanded exorbitant terms. It took some time before Tang Haiyun managed to calm his anger, his eyes flickering.

“Take the Ice and Snow Dragon Egg to the Dragon God Mountains and tell them that I agree to their conditions!” Tang Haiyun said slowly. Those who achieve great things don’t dwell on such trivial matters. Once the Hengyuan Realm is unified, it will be time to deal with the Dragon God Family!

Lodor was momentarily stunned before responding respectfully.

“Go there on the Dragon Lion!” Tang Haiyun added after some thought.

The distance between the imperial capital of the Tanghai Empire and the Dragon God Mountains is considerable. To arrive in time for the Dragon God Family’s assembly, they had to travel by the empire’s Dragon Lion—a sacred realm apex creature renowned for its flying speed. Even at full speed, it was only slightly slower than those from the Divine Realm.

Lodor replied respectfully and left the hall without hesitation.

By the time Lodor arrived at the Dragon God Mountains with the Ice and Snow Dragon Egg and several powerful beings from the empire’s Sacred Realm riding on the Dragon Lion, night had begun to fall. Soft sunlight bathed the land.

The seated Yellow Dragon stood up and was about to leave the courtyard when he encountered Huang Fei, who was coming from the hall.

“Lord Yellow Dragon!” Huang Fei immediately became solemn and bowed respectfully upon seeing him.

The Yellow Dragon smiled and glanced at Huang Fei, recalling the words the boy had spoken to his daughter, Huang Yi, the previous day.

Huang Fei felt puzzled as the Yellow Dragon stared at him. Then, the Yellow Dragon spoke, “Huang Fei, do you want to become the head of the Huang family?”

“The head of the Huang family?!” Huang Fei was stunned, not understanding what the Yellow Dragon meant.

Huang Long ignored Huang Fei’s stunned expression and smiled, “What? Don’t you want to?”
Huang Fei finally came back to his senses, stammering, not knowing how to respond. In truth, saying he didn’t want it would be a lie—which Huang family member wouldn’t want to be the head of the family? But wanting it was one thing, and reality was another!
Huang Fei was aware of his own limitations; he was only a mid-level warrior of level eight. In the Huang family, such a warrior was utterly insignificant!
