Chapter 0761: Arriving in Hongmeng City
When Lu Su saw the newcomers, his expression darkened, looking extremely displeased.
Huang Long narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lu Su with a smile—Super Turtle?! It was the first time he had heard someone give Lu Su such an “elegant” nickname!
Huang Liang and the others also smiled upon hearing this.
Feeling the gazes of Huang Long and the others, Lu Su grew awkward. He looked at the green-haired old man approaching and sneered, “I wondered who it was—turns out to be Green Pumpkin! If you can participate in the Sky Platform Competition, why can’t we?”
The green-haired old man wore a green robe and had a very broad, fat build. The nickname “Green Pumpkin” fit him quite well.
Upon hearing this, the old man’s expression turned cold, his green eyes flashing as he stared intently at Lu Su.
Then, led by the green-haired old man, the group arrived in front of Huang Long and the others.
The old man’s aura surged as he said, “Hehe, Lu Su. It’s been hundreds of millions of years—you’ve become even more arrogant. I hope you can stay as arrogant during the Sky Platform Competition!” With that, he glanced at Huang Long, Huang Liang, and the others beside Lu Su and sneered, “This time, I’ll make you regret coming to Hongmeng City!”
Lu Su sneered back, “The same goes for you, Tru. It’s been hundreds of millions of years—besides gaining more fat, you’ve also become even more ignorant!”
Hearing this, the green-haired old man laughed angrily. After stopping laughing, he said, “Who’s ignorant will become clear soon enough!” Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered those behind him, “Let’s go!”
The green-haired old man led his group away. Before leaving, a middle-aged man with a severed arm beside him sneered at Huang Long, “Sander, this time, I’ll make sure you can never return to Heluo Mountain!” His eyes revealed intense murderous intent.
The face Huang Long was wearing was actually Sander, the grand elder of the Naisi family.
Huang Long frowned. It seemed this middle-aged man with a severed arm held deep hatred toward Sander, the grand elder of the Naisi family.
“Is that so?” Huang Long said indifferently, watching the retreating figures of the green-haired old man and the others.
After a while, the figures of the green-haired old man and the others disappeared from sight.
At that moment, Huang Long and the others turned to look at Lu Su and Perkin.
Lu Su quickly explained, “Master, this Tru is the ancestor of the Stain family. The people behind him are the head of the Stain family and its elders.”
Like the Naisi family, the Stain family was one of the three thousand races in Hongmeng. If not for their differences in array skills, Tru’s strength would be slightly greater than Lu Su’s, and the overall strength of the Stain family was also stronger than that of the Naisi family.
The reason these two families had a feud was due to past Sky Platform Competitions.
In rooftop battles, casualties are inevitable. During the previous rooftop battle, Sand, the eldest elder of the Naisi family, severely injured the eldest elder of the Stain family, breaking one of his arms. The middle-aged man who had threatened Huang Long earlier was none other than Leifo, the eldest elder of the Stain family. After hearing Luos explanation, Pi Long spat out a burst of dragon breath and said, “Damn it! This kid actually dares to threaten our master. If I ever meet him, I’ll break all his other limbs!” “All limbs?” Huang Yi asked in confusion, “Weren’t his arm already broken? How can he still have limbs? Isn’t it three limbs?” Everyone was stunned. Soon, Pi Long, Huang Liang, and Thunder Beast all showed mischievous smiles, while Luos and Perkin tried hard not to laugh, holding back their laughter. Seeing everyone laughing inexplicably, Huang Yi grabbed Pi Long’s ear and snapped angrily, “Was I wrong? Why are you laughing? What’s so funny?” Hearing this, Huang Liang laughed even harder, holding his stomach. Pi Long laughed loudly, and Huang Yi pulled hard, forcing him to say with a pained face, “My fourth madam, you’re right, right! We’re not laughing at you!” Huang Yi snapped, “Not laughing at me? Then tell me, what’s so funny?!” Pi Long could only keep begging her to spare him, but he didn’t dare point out her mistake. In the end, it was Huang Liang who “reminded” his fourth sister. When Huang Yi finally understood what “limbs” meant, her face turned red. She spat at everyone and kicked Pi Long hard. Pi Long rubbed his bottom, wincing in pain—this fourth madam was quite strong! “Enough, stop playing around. Let’s keep moving!” Huang Long interrupted them with a smile. Huang Yi went over to Huang Long and said, “Second brother, look! They’re all bullying people. You must discipline this Pi Long properly. He always has such dirty thoughts!” Pi Long said with a pained smile, “My fourth madam, this is common knowledge for men. Everyone knows it.” Everyone knows it! Huang Yi’s mouth puffed up in anger as she glared at Pi Long, who didn’t dare say anything more. “Alright, we’ll talk about this later,” Huang Long said with a smile. Seeing this, Huang Yi huffed. Pi Long breathed a sigh of relief. Ten days later, Huang Long and the others finally arrived in Hongmeng City. Although there were still twenty days left before the competition, Hongmeng City was already crowded. When they arrived, looking down the streets, they saw a sea of people, bustling traffic, and an extremely lively scene, with people of all races and styles coming and going nonstop.
Although Huang Long had anticipated that Hongmeng City would be extremely bustling during the once-in-a-million-years Sky Platform Competition, the scene before him still exceeded his expectations. Hongmeng City was the main city on the Hongmeng Continent, more than twice the size of ordinary main cities, yet it was still packed with people, indicating just how many had come. “Master, should we go to the Naisi family’s residence first or register at the Hongmeng Mansion?” Lu Su asked Huang Long for guidance. As one of the three thousand races on Hongmeng Continent, the Naisi family had its own independent residence in Hongmeng City. For each Sky Platform Competition, the Hongmeng races participating had to register at the Hongmeng Mansion the day before the competition. Although all three thousand races were eligible to compete, they could also choose to withdraw. Failure to register at the Hongmeng Mansion by the day before the competition would be considered a withdrawal. “Let’s go to the Naisi family’s residence first,” Huang Long said after thinking for a moment. There were still twenty days left until the competition, so there was no rush to register. “Yes, master,” Lu Su replied respectfully, then, along with Perkin, led Huang Long and the others to the Naisi family’s residence. The Naisi family’s residence was located in a remote corner in the north of Hongmeng City. The location of each family’s residence reflected their status within the Hongmeng races, indicating that the Naisi family did not hold a high position among them. After following winding streets for half a day, Huang Long and the others arrived at the Naisi family’s residence under Lu Su and Perkin’s guidance. Knowing that the family head and elders had arrived in Hongmeng City that day, the senior steward in charge of managing the residence did not dare to be negligent and had already gone ahead to greet them with the Naisi family’s guards. After entering the residence, the senior steward led Huang Long and the others to the prepared living quarters and left after consulting with them. “I wonder if Livia has arrived,” Huang Long thought to himself after the senior steward left, considering whether he should talk to Livia about Xie Wen and Hefu.
