"Indeed, Marshal!" One of the guards stepped forward and said, "And that woman said she would cancel the Young Master's registration!"
"Cancel the Young Master's registration?!" Marshal Haotian's entire aura surged, and he shot up into the air.
"That's right, and not only that, that woman also said she would detain the Young Master, and then..." The guard hesitated as he spoke.
"And then what? Speak!" Marshal Haotian shouted.
"Yes, Marshal, that woman said she would detain the Young Master, and then have Marshal come to retrieve him and publicly apologize to the academy!" The guard quickly trembled as he spoke.
At that time, Xiong Meiqi had said she would detain Huang Xiaolong and have his clan leader retrieve him, and publicly apologize to the academy. In fact, Xiong Meiqi didn't know that Huang Xiaolong's "clan leader" was Marshal Haotian.
"What?!" Marshal Haotian stood up in anger, and with one palm, he shattered the stone chair beside him into powder.
"Also, that man said he would execute Senior Fei Hou in public!" Another guard said.
Execute a junior brother in public?!
Marshal Haotian finally lost his temper and shouted, "Transmit my order, gather the ten armies, and march towards the Starry Sky Academy!"
Ten armies, that's one hundred thousand troops!
One hundred thousand troops marching towards the Starry Sky Academy!
The two guards were greatly alarmed.
"Still standing there? Go!" Marshal Haotian glared at them.
"Yes, yes, Marshal!" The two hurriedly went to transmit the order.
"Iron Claw Divine Eagle!" After the two left, Marshal Haotian suddenly shouted to the sky. Then, a huge iron eagle appeared in the sky above the Marshal's residence, and an eagle's cry echoed for miles.
All the guards and servants of the Marshal's residence looked up at the divine eagle in the sky, their faces changing. Something big was about to happen! Marshal Haotian only summoned his tenth-stage mount, the Iron Claw Divine Eagle, when something major was happening.
"All eighth-stage and above guards, gather in the square!" Then, everyone in the Marshal's residence heard Marshal Haotian's shout.
"Yes, Marshal!"
Immediately, figures flashed, and all the eighth-stage and above guards from every corner of the Marshal's residence rushed to the square in front of the Marshal's residence.
A heavy, pre-battle atmosphere spread through the air.
Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou, in their small courtyard, also heard Marshal Haotian's shout.
"Let's go and see!" Huang Xiaolong led Fei Hou to the square in front of the Marshal's residence, where they saw Marshal Haotian about to lead one hundred thousand troops towards the academy.
Huang Xiaolong instantly understood what Marshal Haotian was going to do.
"Wait!" Huang Xiaolong said.
"Young Master!" Seeing Huang Xiaolong arrive, Marshal Haotian quickly descended from the divine eagle and bowed.
"Haotian, I don't want this to escalate," Huang Xiaolong said after some thought. If the matter escalated, it wouldn't be good for either Huang Xiaolong or Marshal Haotian.
Huang Xiaolong knew that his recommendation letter was given to Marshal Haotian by the Starry Sky Academy's principal, and the two had a good relationship. If Marshal Haotian now led one hundred thousand troops towards the Starry Sky Academy, their relationship might become strained, leading to a major conflict between the Marshal's residence and the Starry Sky Academy.
Moreover, this was the capital city, and such a large-scale action by Marshal Haotian in the capital would have a bad influence.
"Young Master!" As Haotian was about to speak, Huang Xiaolong shook his head. "Let this matter end here."
"That's right, Senior Brother. Since the Young Master is now safe, let's drop it," Fei Hou also said.
Haotian stood there for a moment before finally saying, "Yes, Young Master, Haotian will comply!" He then waved his right hand, dismissing all the guards and revoking the order.
After a while, Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and Marshal Haotian returned to the front hall of the Marshal's residence.
The three sat down.
"Lord, as the leader of our Asura Gate, you have been in danger multiple times in Luotong Capital. Please punish me!" After sitting down, Marshal Haotian suddenly stood up and knelt down.
Huang Xiaolong quickly supported him. "Haotian, get up quickly!"
"Please punish me, Lord!" Marshal Haotian remained kneeling.
Huang Xiaolong looked at Fei Hou, who then persuaded Marshal Haotian. "Senior Brother, since the Young Master has asked you to get up, please do so, and it's not your fault!"
Marshal Haotian hesitated for a moment before standing up. "Thank you, Lord!"
The Asura Gate's rules were strict. In the past, if Huang Xiaolong had been injured in Marshal Haotian's jurisdiction, the punishment would have been severe, though not fatal, but definitely losing all his cultivation.
Of course, Huang Xiaolong was not injured now.
After Marshal Haotian stood up, Huang Xiaolong asked, "Elder Yu Ming, any news?" Previously, Huang Xiaolong had heard from Fei Hou that their master Yu Ming had gone to the capital of Mohé Kingdom, so he had asked Marshal Haotian to find out about Yu Ming's whereabouts.
"Reporting to the Young Master, there is no news of Master. I suspect Master has already left the capital of Mohé Kingdom," Haotian respectfully replied.
Huang Xiaolong was somewhat disappointed but had expected this result. Yu Ming had gone to the capital of Mohé Kingdom on business three years ago and wouldn't have stayed there indefinitely.
His master, Ren Wokang, had left some things for Huang Xiaolong at the Asura Gate's headquarters, which were important for his cultivation of the Asura Sutra. So, Huang Xiaolong wanted to ask Yu Ming about the location of the Asura Gate's headquarters.
Marshal Haotian also did not know where the Asura Gate's headquarters was.
After a while, Huang Xiaolong returned to his small courtyard from the front hall.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, a small figure rushed towards him.
"Little guy, where have you been these past few days?" Huang Xiaolong didn't dodge and smiled.
This small figure was naturally the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey.
The Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey had been missing for a few days.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!" The Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey chirped and gestured on Huang Xiaolong's shoulder.
Huang Xiaolong smiled and shook his head. Only he could understand what the little guy was trying to say. In the Martial Soul World, beasts could only speak after breaking through to the tenth stage and reaching the innate realm. So, the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey would have to use gestures for a while longer to communicate.
After a while, Huang Xiaolong let the Spirit Devouring Purple Monkey play on its own, then entered his room and sat on the cold jade bed to cultivate the Asura Sutra. After reaching the sixth stage, his absorption of the Netherworld Aura had become much faster.
The twin dragon martial souls behind him had grown larger, with the black dragon's black light constantly flickering and the blue dragon's blue light pulsating.
Three days passed quickly.
During these three days, Huang Xiaolong focused on cultivation, and by the end of the three days, he had fully stabilized his sixth-stage strength. The Netherworld Aura flowed through his sixth-stage meridians without any obstruction.
"Finally, it's the start of the school year." Huang Xiaolong came out of his room, and the morning sunlight was bright.
Today was the start of the school year at the Starry Sky Academy!
After a while, Huang Xiaolong led Fei Hou and four guards from the Marshal's residence out of the Marshal's residence and headed towards the Starry Sky Academy. After the incident at the Starry Sky Academy, Marshal Haotian had assigned two more tenth-stage guards to protect Huang Xiaolong.
It didn't take long for Huang Xiaolong and the others to reach the Starry Sky Academy.
However, since the school had already started, only students with student IDs could enter the academy, so Fei Hou and the four guards could only escort Huang Xiaolong to the academy gates.
After entering the academy alone, Huang Xiaolong asked some passing teachers and students for directions and headed towards his class.
(Originally, I planned to have Marshal Haotian lead one hundred thousand troops towards the Starry Sky Academy today to create a big climax, but I decided to delay the big climax for now. Of course, there will be many smaller climaxes coming up. I hope everyone will give more recommendations. Recommendations are free, and if possible, please show more support. This will make me more passionate and motivated to write!)
