Chapter 0760: The Competition Arrives

Since most of the members of the Halsh family were gathered on the main island of Halsh City, Nisil ordered that they be assembled quickly. Once all the Halsh family members were gathered, Huang Long brought them all into the Qunxian Pavilion, then left the Tianyuan Sea Area with Nisil, Huang Liang, and others. After leaving the Tianyuan Sea Area, Huang Long and his group headed toward Heluo Mountain, where the Nais family resided. Initially, Huang Long planned to have Lus and Perkin from the Nais family join them in the Tianyuan Sea Area in two years, but the current situation made him change his mind.

Not long after they left, some powerful forces surrounding the Tianyuan Sea Area found it strange that the previous fierce battles had ceased, so out of curiosity, they cautiously came to investigate. Yet, despite searching every corner of Halsh City and even the Tianyuan Sea Area, they found not a single person. The Silver Fox clan and all the Halsh family members had disappeared! Not only that—Xie Wen and He Fu had also vanished without a trace! Faced with this bizarre situation, these powerful forces were filled with suspicion.

“Could it be that Lord Xie Wen and He Fu destroyed the Halsh family and then led everyone away?!”
“That’s impossible. If the Silver Fox clan had left, we would have known!”

These strongmen’s guesses were unknown to Huang Long, but the next day, news of Xie Wen, He Fu, and the entire Halsh family disappearing spread. Xie Wen and He Fu were among the eighth and ninth elders of the Silver Fox clan, holding prominent status in the Hongmeng Realm. The spread of this news caused widespread confusion.

In the Silver Fox Divine Realm, within the Litian Mountains, Ziniya sat on the altar, listening to the reports from the elders below, her brows furrowed. “Xie Wen and He Fu have disappeared? But their life tokens aren’t broken, which means they’re still alive,” she murmured to herself.

In the grand hall, the elders of the Silver Fox clan dared not speak. “Auben, have you figured out why Xie Wen and He Fu attacked the Halsh family?” Ziniya asked after a while.

Auben, the second elder of the Silver Fox clan, quickly replied, “Your Divine Majesty, we’ve found out. It seems they learned that the Halsh family possessed a Hongmeng spiritual treasure.” He paused, leaving the implication clear.

The elders of the Halsh family exchanged worried looks. A Hongmeng spiritual treasure?! No wonder!

Ziniya was also surprised. “The Halsh family has a Hongmeng spiritual treasure? Is this confirmed?” she pondered.

The Hongmeng Spirit Treasure has even inspired the birth of a Divine King. All factions in the Hongmeng Realm are aware of which family possesses it, yet there has been no news that the Halsh family holds it.
“This must be true. According to investigations, the Halsh family’s ancestor, Nisir, obtained it only in the past two years. As for how he got it, that’s unknown,” said Oben.
Ziniya was perturbed and asked, “It was obtained only in the past two years?”
“Yes, Divine King.”
Ziniya fell into deep thought. No one dared interrupt her thoughts.
“However, Xie Wen and He Fu failed to report this to their family in advance—how reckless!” After a while, Ziniya said indifferently, clearly holding them accountable.
Lohar, who was on good terms with Xie Wen and the others, stepped forward cautiously and said, “Divine King, Xie Wen and the others wanted to seize the Hongmeng Spirit Treasure before other families and present it to You. That’s why they acted like this.”
Ziniya glanced at Lohar. As Lohar grew anxious, she said, “Issue orders to search for the descendants of the Halsh family. Those who provide information will be rewarded with a set of high-tier Supreme Divine Artifacts and 100 million crystals!”
Once the descendants of the Halsh family were found, the truth would become clear, and the whereabouts of Xie Wen and He Fu would also be known. With hundreds of millions of descendants in the Halsh family, it was impossible for them to vanish without a trace from the Hongmeng Realm!
“Yes, Divine King!”
The elders of the Silver Fox clan replied respectfully.
“Divine King,” said a beautiful woman standing at the front of the hall.
This beautiful woman was Finki, the chief elder of the Silver Fox clan.
“What is it?” asked Ziniya.
“The Silver Soul Grass that the Supreme Elder is looking for has been located. According to an elder from the Purfi clan, he saw it in the Demon Realm years ago,” replied Finki.
“Oh, the Silver Soul Grass has been found—in the Demon Realm!” Ziniya was delighted.
Now that the Silver Soul Grass was found, only the Heavenly Soul Flower remained…
While the Silver Fox clan ordered a search, and other clans like the Thunder Roc clan also secretly investigated Nisir’s whereabouts, Huang Long and the others finally returned to the Heluo Mountain of the Nais family.
After arriving at Heluo Mountain, Huang Long transported hundreds of mountains from other parts of the Hongmeng Continent to form a mountain range, constructing a palace for the descendants of the Halsh family to settle in. However, this project was enormous. Even with Nisir, Huoyang, and the strong warriors from the Halsh and Nais families helping, it still took Huang Long half a year.
Although the project was massive, Huang Long had already set up a large array within a radius of trillions of miles, so it remained hidden from other factions.

Half a year passed.
There was only one and a half years left until the competition.
Time flew by quickly—another year and three months went by.
During these one year and three months, Huang Long would occasionally retreat to cultivate and enhance his powers. He would also occasionally give lectures to Huang Liang, Huang Yi, Pi Long, Nisier, Lu Su, and Perkin. The Fire Yang Divine King had initially paid no attention, but after listening to one of his lectures, he too joined the audience.
One day, Huang Long summoned Nisier, Lu Su, Huang Liang, and the others.
“Three months left until the competition. Get ready. We’ll set off for Hongmeng City tomorrow!” Huang Long said after gathering them.
Hongmeng City was located in the central region of the Hongmeng Continent.
The arena for the competition among the three thousand races of Hongmeng was set up in Hongmeng City. It usually took more than two months to travel from Hailuo Mountain to Hongmeng City, according to Huang Long and the others’ schedule.
Lu Su and the others accepted the order and left.
The next day, Huang Long and the others left Hailuo Mountain and headed toward Hongmeng City.
To avoid arousing suspicion, aside from Lu Su and Perkin, Huang Long and the others transformed their appearances to resemble the elders of the Naisi family. Naturally, the actual elders of the Naisi family did not go; they stayed behind in Hailuo Mountain.
Two months later, as Huang Long and the others traveled at a steady pace, they approached Hongmeng City.
“At this rate, we’ll reach Hongmeng City in ten days,” Huang Long said as they passed through a mountain range.
“Yes, master. If we hurry, we can reach Hongmeng City in at most seven days,” Lu Su replied respectfully.
Huang Long nodded.
At that moment, Huang Long and the Fire Yang Divine King suddenly turned their heads toward the southeast. Lu Su and the others followed their gaze.
“Hehe, isn’t that our Naisi family’s reclusive super turtle, Ancestor Lu Su? What? Does our super turtle Ancestor Lu Su also plan to go to Hongmeng City to participate in the competition?” As Lu Su and the others watched, a group of people flew over. The man in front, an old man with green hair, sneered.
