Chapter 0773: Found It?

Due to their disguises, Lus walked ahead while Huang Long followed behind. Upon arriving at the grand hall, Lus clasped his fists and smiled, saying, “I wonder what Elder Deqi of the Tianlong Clan is here for at our Naisi Family’s residence?”

At that moment, Elder Deqi of the Tianlong Clan finally raised his head, slowly set down his teacup, and then looked at Lus, saying, “How could you not know the reason of my visit, Lus?”

Lus was someone he had seen before, but what annoyed him was Lus’s attitude. As the Elder of the Tianlong Clan, even the ancestors and chiefs of smaller families would treat him with great respect, yet Lus remained neither overbearing nor submissive.

“Hehe, Elder Deqi, you’re joking. How could I possibly know the reason of your visit?” Lus said with a smile before sitting down with Huang Long.

Deqi glanced at Huang Long, his eyes sharp as knives, but Huang Long remained calm.

A strange glint appeared in Deqi’s eyes. Initially, when he saw Huang Long enter without greeting him, he wanted to punish him by using a soul attack, only to find that Huang Long wasn’t affected at all.

“Are you Sand, the Elder of the Naisi Family?” Deqi asked in a demanding tone.

Before coming here, he had learned a bit about the identities of those from the Naisi Family who had come to Hongmeng City.

“That’s right,” Huang Long replied indifferently.

Deqi sneered, “Elder Sand, your soul power is truly formidable!”

“Too kind,” Huang Long said calmly.

A cold light flashed in Deqi’s eyes. He ignored Huang Long further and turned to look at Lus, saying, “Lus, there’s no need for you to act foolish in front of me. You should be aware of the reason of my visit. Tell me—our Divine King wants to know how your Naisi Family obtained that Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, a divine weapon of attack!”

“Oh, it’s Divine King Durali who wants to know? It seems I really can’t keep it to myself!” Lus said, pretending to be surprised.

Deqi sneered, “It’s good you know.”

“Originally, our Naisi Family wouldn’t reveal this, but since Divine King Durali is curious, I’ll make an exception and tell him,” Lus continued, looking resigned.

Deqi was taken aback. He had thought it would take some effort to force Lus to speak, but unexpectedly, Lus was so understanding?!

A smile appeared on Deqi’s face as he said, “Don’t worry, Lus. As long as you tell us, our Tianlong Clan won’t treat your Naisi Family unfairly.”

Lus smiled and said, “Then I really owe a debt of gratitude to the Tianlong Clan.”

Deqi nodded with a smile. Even as the ancestor of the Naisi Family, Lus knew how to behave properly. Since Lus was so cooperative, he could go back and report satisfactorily.

“Elder Deqi must know that I purchased the Stone Essence at Fengming Merchant Guild. I need this Stone Essence to refine medicinal pills. A few years ago, I heard rumors of Stone Essence deep in the Hongmeng Chaos World, so I went there to search for it,” Lu Su said slowly.

Deqi nodded. It was well-known throughout Hongmeng City that Lu Su had bought the Stone Essence from Fengming Merchant Guild. However, he was puzzled—what did Lu Su’s claim of searching deep in the Hongmeng Chaos World have to do with that Hongmeng spiritual treasure and attack artifact?!

At that moment, Lu Su continued, “I never expected that instead of finding the Stone Essence, I would luckily obtain that Hongmeng spiritual treasure and attack artifact.”

He stopped speaking, shook his head, once again showing a mix of luck and sighs.

After hearing this, Deqi’s expression turned extremely ugly. He stood up abruptly, staring intently at Lu Su, “Are you saying that this Hongmeng spiritual treasure and attack artifact was something you found by luck?!” A fury erupted from deep within Deqi like a volcano.

Found a Hongmeng spiritual treasure and attack artifact?!
What’s the difference between that and just picking it up?!
Only a fool would believe such nonsense!
So, Lu Su had been mocking him all this time! How dare he mock him!

Deqi’s aura surged violently, with golden light swirling around his body. The terrifying pressure shocked everyone in the Naisi Mansion.

Lu Su was also surprised, but he quickly calmed down. Still sitting in his chair, he stared at Deqi calmly and said, “Elder Deqi, since the Divine King of Durlali wants to know about this, I’ve already told the truth. If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing we can do.”

Suddenly, the enraged Deqi roared loudly and rushed forward like a furious beast, striking Lu Su with a punch. “How dare you mock this elder and seek your death!”

Under Deqi’s punch, the tables and chairs made of divine trees around the front hall turned to dust, the floor’s divine stones lifted, and the pillars collapsed.

But just as Deqi was about to hit Lu Su, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, blocking his strike. With a muffled explosion, Deqi was sent flying.

The shockwave rippled through the air for a long time.

Deqi looked at Huang Long, his eyes filled with shock and doubt.

It was Huang Long who had blocked his strike—Sande, the senior elder of the Naisi family in his eyes!

“Well, it seems I misjudged you. The Naisi family actually has such a powerful person,” Deqi sneered.

Huang Long looked at him indifferently and said, “This is Hongmeng City. Do you really think you can act recklessly here, Elder Deqi?!”

Hongmeng City is under the control of the Leipeng clan and is also the sacred city of the Hongmeng Realm. Within Hongmeng City, fierce battles among powerful warriors from various clans are prohibited. Otherwise, anyone who does so will be punished!
Deqi looked displeased, his fists clenched tightly. “Alright, Lus, Sand, right? We’ll meet again during the rooftop duel. I hope you can leave Hongmeng City by then!” In the end, Deqi didn’t strike and chose to “compromise.” After saying that, he snorted coldly and flew away from Naisi’s residence.
Huang Long watched Deqi’s retreating figure, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes: “During the rooftop duel, I hope you’ll be able to get off that rooftop!” In his heart, Huang Long had already marked Deqi as a target for death. After all, Huang Long’s goal was for the Naisi family to win first place in this duel and take control of the Heavenly Cauldron. Whether he offended the Tianlong clan or the Leipeng clan didn’t matter to him.
Before this rooftop duel, Huang Long wasn’t afraid that the Tianlong clan, Leipeng clan, or other clans would come to cause trouble for the Naisi family—after all, this was Hongmeng City! Moreover, with all the powerful warriors from various clans gathered in Hongmeng City for this duel, even the Leipeng clan wouldn’t dare violate the city’s rules.
“Master, Deqi going back might anger the Tianlong clan,” Lus said worriedly.
“Don’t worry,” Huang Long replied. “There’s no need to be concerned.”
Lus opened his mouth to speak but ultimately stayed silent, as he thought of the legends about Huang Long in the Chaos Divine Realm.
“Oh, Master, there’s one more thing,” Lus suddenly said after a while.
“Oh? What is it?” Huang Long asked.
“We just received news that Tisi, the eldest of the Leipeng clan, and Weile, the eldest of the Tianfeng clan, are getting married—in just one month!” Lus said gravely.
