Chapter 0762: Registering for the Competition

After some consideration, Huang Long ultimately decided to wait until after the rooftop battle before making a decision.
The next day, Huang Long and his companions arrived at the grand hall. The senior steward of the Naisi family was already waiting there. After asking about recent events in Hongmeng City, Huang Long changed his tone and asked, “Have the people from the Silver Fox clan arrived?”
The senior steward replied, “Replying to the Grand Elder, they have arrived. We found that the Silver Fox clan registered for the competition at Hongmeng Mansion half a month ago!”
After arriving at the Naisi family’s estate, Huang Long transformed into Sande, the Grand Elder of the Naisi family.
“Half a month ago?” Huang Long was surprised; he hadn’t expected the Silver Fox clan to arrive so quickly.
“Who from the Silver Fox clan has come?” Huang Long continued to ask.
“The clan leader of the Silver Fox clan, along with two Divine Kings—the Grand Elder, the Second Elder…,” the senior steward listed many of the Silver Fox clan’s elders, the two Divine Kings, and nearly all of the top ten elders—they had all arrived.
“It seems the Silver Fox clan takes this competition very seriously,” Huang Long murmured to himself.
At that moment, Huang Liang said, “That Luo Ha is here too. Hmph! If I meet him on the rooftop this time, I’ll make sure he pays for it!” His face showed hatred.
During the time in the Litian Mountains, if it weren’t for Huang Long’s intervention, he would have long been captured by Luo Ha and his allies.
Later, Huang Long asked the senior steward about the situations of the Lei Peng clan, Tian Long clan, Tian Feng clan, Jin Yuan clan, and Hei Xiong clan.
Except for the Jin Yuan clan, the strong members of the other clans had all arrived in Hongmeng City.
It could be said that Hongmeng City now gathered nearly twenty Divine King-level strongmen from the major branches of the Hongmeng Realm. By the day of the rooftop battle, almost all Divine King-level strongmen from the Hongmeng Realm would likely be present.
After all, this once-every-100-million-years rooftop battle was a major event in the Hongmeng Realm!
After learning about the various clans in Hongmeng City, Huang Long and his companions, led by this “clan leader” named Lu Su, went to Hongmeng Mansion to register for the competition.
As the main residence of Hongmeng City, Hongmeng Mansion was located in its central area.
Of course, the central area of Hongmeng City was quite large—its size was comparable to that of a major city in a medium-sized divine plane’s underworld.
Since flying was prohibited within Hongmeng City, it took Huang Long and his companions a whole day to reach Hongmeng Mansion by riding the beast-driving car of the Naisi family.

When they arrived at the Hongmeng Mansion, there weren’t many people there. After all, only the three thousand races of Hongmeng were eligible to register for the competition. Many of the races that had registered had done so days earlier, and there were still nearly twenty days left before the competition on the Sky Platform.

This time, the Leipeng clan controlled the Hongmeng Continent, so naturally, the Hongmeng Mansion was under their control. They were also in charge of handling registrations for this competition.

However, when Lus and Huang Long arrived, it was a low-ranking servant of the Leipeng clan who greeted them. Despite Lus being the leader of one of the three thousand races of Hongmeng and a supreme divine powerhouse, the Leipeng clan sent a low-ranking servant to receive him, which naturally made Lus look displeased.

But in front of the Leipeng clan, he had no choice but to endure it. After all, the Naisi clan couldn’t even rank among the top 100 of the three thousand races of Hongmeng.

Perkin, the leader of the Naisi clan, also looked angry. He had some acquaintance with Kunle, one of the seven elders of the Leipeng clan, but it seemed now that his hopes were unfounded.

“I want to see your seventh elder, Kunle,” Perkin said, trying to suppress his anger, to the low-ranking servant of the Leipeng clan.

That servant was a fire-type supreme god. Hearing this, he sneered and said, “You want to see our seventh elder? Who do you think you are? Our seventh elder is very busy—can’t just be seen by anyone who wants to. What, do you think handling your registration has degraded your status?” His tone was clearly mocking.

Perkin’s face turned red. “You!”

“Hehe, Leader Perkin, don’t think just because you’re the leader of your clan that you can act arrogantly in front of me, a supreme god. In front of our Leipeng clan, you mean nothing. In the Hongmeng Mansion, it’s best you stay out of trouble. If you dare to fight here, I guarantee none of you will be able to leave!” the low-ranking servant said condescendingly.

Lus and Perkin were furious. Huang Long’s eyes flashed with cold fury. If it weren’t for the competition on the Sky Platform, Pili Long and Huang Liang would have already crushed him—using Pili Long’s words, they would have stomped on his weak underlings!

In the end, Perkin managed to hold back.

Seeing this, the low-ranking servant sneered, “Good that you know your place!” Then, with an arrogant expression, he led Huang Long and the others to the registration hall.

But to Lus and the others’ surprise, as soon as they entered the registration hall, they encountered acquaintances—Tru, the ancestor of the Stain clan, and Leifu, the chief elder of the Stain clan. Apparently, Tru and the others had also come to register for the competition, just a bit earlier than Huang Long and the others.

“Wow, isn’t that the Super Turtle? Lus, what a coincidence!” Tru, the patriarch of the Stan family, turned around and saw Lus and his group. Surprised, he burst into laughter.
Lus sneered, “So it’s just a green pumpkin. What a coincidence indeed. It’s only been ten days, and your fat has grown even more!” He didn’t dare show anger toward the people of the Lei Peng clan, but he had no such restraint with Tru.
Lei Fo, standing beside Tru, glaredkilling intentfully at Sand, the senior elder of the Nai Si clan, the Yellow Dragon.
The low-ranking servant of the Lei Peng clan watched the confrontation between the two sides and shouted, “What are you doing? Do you want to start a fight inside the Hongmeng Mansion?” After saying that, he stepped between them, holding his head high as he stared at Lus and Tru.
Tru narrowed his eyes, then laughed heartily. He bowed to the low-ranking servant and said with a smile, “Brother, you’re joking. Even if we had ten thousand times the courage, we wouldn’t dare start a fight inside the Hongmeng Mansion. The two of us are old ‘friends.’ It’s just that we haven’t seen each other in years, so we’re catching up—just catching up!”
Tru’s use of the word “brother” pleased the low-ranking servant of the Lei Peng clan. Seeing Tru understand the situation so well, he nodded and then said to Lus in a drawn-out voice, “Let’s go. What are you still lingering for? I’m very busy.” With that, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Tru smiled and said, “Lus, let’s go then. We’ll have a proper catch-up during the rooftop duel later!” With that, he waved his sleeve and left with the strong members of the Stan family.
“That kid deserves a beating!” Pi Long muttered under his breath, though it was unclear whether he meant Tru or the low-ranking servant of the Lei Peng clan.
After completing the registration, Huang Long and the others left the Hongmeng Mansion. Naturally, the low-ranking servant of the Lei Peng clan did not see them off.
“Damn it, the Lei Peng clan—what kind of bunch are they! If I catch that kid again, I’ll make sure to pluck all his feathers!” Pi Long said angrily after leaving the Hongmeng Mansion.
