Chapter 89

"Father, what do we do now?!" Lin Ke's face was deathly pale, all traces of her previous arrogance and defiance gone.

Lin Xian and Hong Desheng remained silent.

The entire hall was filled with a heavy silence.

"Father, you, say something!" Lin Ke was anxious.

"Ridiculous!" Suddenly, Lin Xian stood up abruptly and roared, "This is all your fault! I know your temper. If you hadn't done something wrong, would Lord Fei have acted against you?!" With that, he slapped her, leaving a clear handprint on Lin Ke's face.

Lin Ke covered her face, staring at her father in shock, tears streaming down her eyes. Her father had always indulged her, treating her like a precious gem, but today, he actually hit her!

The more Lin Ke thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and her sobs grew louder.

"You!" Lin Xian raised his hand in anger again, but ultimately did not strike her.

"Brother Xian, now is not the time to scold Ke. Lin Guo, tell us the whole story in detail," Hong Desheng said at this moment.

"Yes, Uncle Hong," Lin Guo respectfully replied, then recounted the entire incident in detail, not daring to hide anything.

When Lin Xian heard that his daughter, Lin Ke, had ordered the inn's waiter to move Huang Xiaolong and Lord Fei to the first floor, calling them lowly commoners, his face darkened instantly.

After Lin Guo finished speaking, Lin Xian's face was as dark as water.

"Brother Xian, let's go to the Delicious Grand Hotel together and apologize to Huang Xiaolong and Lord Fei," Hong Desheng said.

The two were old friends, and since this matter had happened, he could not stand by and do nothing.

Lin Xian's face was stormy. "There's no other choice!"

Not long after, Lin Xian and Hong Desheng, along with Lin Ke and Lin Guo, arrived at the Delicious Grand Hotel.

A while later, they ascended to the second floor of the hotel. When they were about to speak, they suddenly saw a figure beside Huang Xiaolong, and their bodies stiffened, their steps halting, eyes wide.

"General, General Yuan!"

At this moment, General Haotian turned his head.

When the two saw General Haotian's face, their minds buzzed, and their faces turned pale.

Lin Ke and Lin Guo, following behind Lin Xian and Hong Desheng, felt their legs go weak upon hearing their father's exclamation, almost falling to the ground, unable to stand straight.

Originally, before coming, Lin Xian and Hong Desheng had hoped that the General was not present, but now!

...

An hour later, Huang Xiaolong, General Haotian, and the others left the Delicious Grand Hotel. Long after they left, Lin Xian and Hong Desheng, along with the others, emerged from the hotel, their faces dejected.

No one knew what had happened afterward.

However, the next day, Lin Xian was stripped of his title of Marquis, an order personally issued by King Lu Zhe.

After leaving the Delicious Grand Hotel, Huang Xiaolong and the others soon arrived at the Tianxuan Manor, where Bolie and the other servants were already waiting to welcome them.

"Brother, will the Tianxuan Manor be our home from now on?" Standing in front of the Tianxuan Manor, Huang Min looked at the grand manor and said happily.

Huang Xiaolong nodded with a smile. "Yes, from now on, the Tianxuan Manor will be our home!"

Hearing this, Huang Min and Huang Xiaohai let out a joyful cry and rushed into the Tianxuan Manor.

Everyone smiled.

"Father, Mother, let's go in," Huang Xiaolong said to Huang Peng and Su Yan.

Huang Peng and Su Yan nodded, feeling relieved.

A while later, everyone gathered in the main hall and took their seats according to rank.

Huang Xiaolong asked Fei Hou to arrange rooms for his parents, sister, brother, and the Huang Family Manor guards and servants. Since Huang Xiaolong had given Fei Hou a million gold coins before the New Year to buy the surrounding estates, the Tianxuan Manor had expanded fourfold, so there was no shortage of rooms.

Due to the long journey, Huang Xiaolong let his parents and the others rest.

After Huang Peng, Su Yan, and the others went down, only Huang Xiaolong, General Haotian, and Fei Hou remained in the hall.

"How is the investigation going?" Huang Xiaolong asked General Haotian, as he had asked him to investigate the Great Sword Sect.

General Haotian stood up and respectfully replied, "Lord, the investigation is complete. Currently, the Great Sword Sect has over thirty thousand disciples. Apart from the deceased Liu Wei, there is one more innate-level expert, his master Yu Chen. Yu Chen is the former head of the Great Sword Sect, and his strength is at the middle stage of the second level of the innate realm."

Liu Wei's master, Yu Chen, middle stage of the second level of the innate realm!

Huang Xiaolong nodded. That strength should be comparable to General Haotian's.

Then, General Haotian reported to Huang Xiaolong about the other tenth and ninth-level disciples of the Great Sword Sect.

After listening to General Haotian's report, Huang Xiaolong frowned. It seemed that destroying the Great Sword Sect would not be easy. Although the Great Sword Sect had only one innate-level expert, Yu Chen, as a major sect in the Tyrannosaurus Kingdom, it still had a significant number of tenth and ninth-level disciples.

Moreover, General Haotian could not send troops to destroy the sect, as it might trigger a war between the two countries.

Unless General Haotian's master, Yu Ming, were present. If Yu Ming were here, with his tenth-level innate strength, he could destroy the Great Sword Sect.

However, Yu Ming had returned to the headquarters of the Asura Gate, and it would take over a year to return from the Nebula Continent.

It seemed they would have to wait for Yu Ming to return.

Now that his parents, sister, and brother were in Luotong City, as long as Yu Chen did not come personally, they would be safe with the protection of the General's guards.

After a while, General Haotian and Fei Hou took their leave.

"It seems I need to break through to the seventh level as soon as possible!" Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

Once he broke through to the seventh level and opened the first level of the Linglong Treasure Tower, he would obtain the Linglong Golden Body cultivation technique. Combined with his innate soul skill, he would be able to deal with eighth-level experts. Moreover, with the Flame Dragon Pearl in the first level of the Linglong Treasure Tower, he could help his parents and others cultivate, enhancing their strength and increasing their ability to protect themselves.

Additionally, breaking through to the seventh level would cause his martial soul to undergo its second transformation, which Huang Xiaolong was looking forward to.

Generally, when breaking through to the seventh level, the martial soul undergoes its second transformation, and the innate soul skill is also strengthened. There is even a chance that a new innate soul skill might awaken during the second transformation!

Although the probability is low, the higher the martial soul level, the greater the chance.

Back in his room, Huang Xiaolong sat on the cold jade bed, summoned his dual dragon martial soul, and began to cultivate.

During the month-long journey, he had not relaxed his cultivation. With the Flame Dragon Qi emitted by the Linglong Treasure Tower constantly refining his body and strengthening his martial qi, Huang Xiaolong's strength continued to grow, and the barrier to the seventh level was becoming thinner. He had a premonition that he would break through to the seventh level within a month.
