Chapter 1024: Passing by Tie Family Castle
He Cheng surveyed with his eyes, but did not see Huang Xiaolong among the crowd, feeling puzzled. Could that kid be lucky enough to have escaped?
Despite his confusion, He Cheng quickly stepped forward, respectfully greeted, "Greetings to the Family Head and all the elders." Then he added, "Congratulations to the Family Head on your triumphant return!"
Triumphant return!
Already filled with anger and nowhere to vent it, He Hanyu's fury erupted upon hearing this, and he suddenly charged forward, kicking the kneeling and smiling He Cheng, sending him flying.
He Cheng rolled on the ground, his head bleeding, stunned, not understanding why Family Head He Hanyu kicked him.
Some disciples and guards from the He Family present were also in shock.
He Hanyu, with bloodthirsty eyes, charged forward again, kicking down the just risen He Cheng onto the ground.
"I told you to say triumphant return!"
"Your mother's triumphant return!"
Like a mad beast, He Hanyu frantically kicked and stomped on He Cheng, shouting with each strike, making He Cheng scream miserably like a slaughtered pig.
The He Family disciples and guards were speechless, as the Family Head was always fond of this Young Master He Cheng, but what happened today!
Watching He Hanyu madly and relentlessly kicking He Cheng, all the He Family disciples around trembled, speechless, and no one dared to intervene.
Gradually, He Cheng's screams grew weaker.
"Family Head, if you keep kicking, He Cheng will die." Seeing this, a Heavenly God Second Stage elder of the He Family had no choice but to brace himself and advise.
Only then did He Hanyu stop, but even then, he unsatisfiedly kicked one more time.
He Cheng lay there, limp.
Likewise, after Su Yinhai and others returned to the family, they too vented on those family disciples who once offended Huang Xiaolong, beating them half to death.
Huang Xiaolong knew none of this, as he was currently sitting cross-legged in the Lin Family Castle Treasure Vault, swallowing four hundred Divine Pills, and beginning his secluded cultivation.
As for the Golden Horned Little Bull, it stayed in a corner of the vault, munching on Divine statuses.
Although the Golden Horned Little Bull's appetite had increased, requiring it to eat twenty or thirty Divine statuses a day, Lin Family Castle's Treasure Vault had enough Divine statuses to last it several months.
Thus, they ignored matters outside the castle and continued cultivating day by day.
Over twenty days passed, and Huang Xiaolong refined all the tens of thousands of Divine Pills in the tripod furnace, finally reaching the Heavenly God Second Rank Middle Stage Peak, infinitely close to the Heavenly God Second Stage Late Stage.
Then, Huang Xiaolong began to refine the Divine Pills and Spiritual Medicine in the Inner Hall's Jade Bottle.
Day by day passed.
In the blink of an eye, two more months had passed.
When Huang Xiaolong refined all the Divine Pills and Spiritual Medicine in the Inner Hall, he finally broke through to the Heavenly God Second Stage Late Stage!
Next, Huang Xiaolong continued to refine the Spirit Vein.
Five months later.
The tightly closed door of Lin Family Castle's Treasure Vault suddenly burst open, and a figure swiftly flew out from within, standing in mid-air, a Dragon Roar echoing within a thousand miles around the Lin Family Castle, the strong aura enveloping the entire castle.
Inside Lin Family Castle, Lin Hang and the Guard Disciples were all terrified and shocked, including Lin Hang, who found themselves unable to move a muscle under the oppressive aura.
Staring at the figure in the sky resembling an ancient giant god, Lin Hang's throat moved, his eyes filled with extreme fear, is this the true power of the Young Master?
The Young Master's power had actually reached such a level!
A moment later, Huang Xiaolong descended from the sky to the ground of Lin Family Castle, feeling the immense Divine Power within him with a smiling face. Although he had not yet broken through to the Heavenly God Third Stage, he had reached the Heavenly God Second Stage Late Stage Peak.
Within a month, he would absolutely break through to the Heavenly God Third Stage.
Despite the great increase in power, looking at the now empty Treasure Vault, Huang Xiaolong couldn't help but shake his head and bitterly smile, not expecting to have refined the entire Lin Family Castle's Treasure Vault, including that Spirit Vein, just to reach the Heavenly God Second Stage Late Stage Peak, while someone else might have reached the Heavenly God Fifth or Sixth Stage.
At this point, an "moo" sound was heard, and the Golden Horned Little Bull stood up from a corner of the vault, swaying its tail, and walked toward Huang Xiaolong, where once the mound of Divine statuses stood, now completely empty.
Over five months, the Golden Horned Little Bull had grown noticeably larger.
The pair of golden horns had more numerous and clearer Mysterious Thunder Patterns, and in the sunlight, the golden cold light flickered, rendering others in awe.
Simultaneously, Huang Xiaolong noticed that the tail behind had grown a section and even sprouted shallow Thunder Patterns.
"Little girl, come here," Huang Xiaolong called.
The Golden Horned Little Bull mooed and walked over to Huang Xiaolong with a familiar affection, standing beside him. The Golden Horned Little Bull was now as high as Huang Xiaolong's ears, yet despite its much larger size, it remained as adorable as before.
Huang Xiaolong jumped onto its back, patting its rear, and the Golden Horned Little Bull's legs moved like the wind, instantly rushing several hundred meters away.
The speed of the Golden Horned Little Bull startled Huang Xiaolong.
This speed would surpass even ordinary Heavenly God Third Stage experts.
Yet, Huang Xiaolong still couldn't see through the current strength of the Golden Horned Little Bull.
After arriving at the Great Hall of Lin Family Castle, Huang Xiaolong summoned Lin Hang, saying he had matters and would leave Lin Family Castle for a few days. In his absence, should any troubles arise at Lin Family Castle, they could report to him through a Jade Talisman.
During the days of secluded cultivation in Lin Family Castle's Treasure Vault, Huang Xiaolong occasionally took out and studied the Prison Suppressing Sect Treasure Map, identifying that the treasure was now to the south of Azure Cloud Island in the Jade Mountain Range.
Huang Xiaolong decided to head to Jade Mountain Range now and unlock the Prison Suppressing Sect Treasure!
Half an hour later, Huang Xiaolong left Lin Family Castle, appearing on the mountain path with the Golden Horned Little Bull.
Two days later, while traversing a mountain path, Huang Xiaolong couldn't help but pause, remembering that not far north along this mountain path was the Tie Family Castle.
Huang Xiaolong recalled the scenes two years ago when he first came to the Divine World and met the Tie Family Castle siblings. After a moment's hesitation, he headed towards Tie Family Castle; since he was passing by, he might as well visit the siblings, as it wouldn't delay him much.
While Huang Xiaolong headed to Tie Family Castle, inside its Great Hall, there was a stifling tension.
"The He Family is too much! At worst, we'll fight them to the death!" In the Great Hall, Tie Mu suddenly stood up, speaking angrily.
"The He Family, Su Family, Deng Family, Zhuang Family, the Four Great Families have always been in alliance. Our Tie Family Castle cannot contend with even the He Family alone with our current strength, so how can we fight them?" A Tie Family Castle elder couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, Tie Xinlan stood up, saying, "Father, I caused this trouble, I will bear it alone."
Tie Qianyuan frowned, "How will you bear it? Even if we really agreed to the He Family's demands, they still wouldn't spare our Tie Family Castle." (To be continued.
