CHAPTER 1217: CHAPTER 1210: THE EXPANSION OF THE OUYANG FAMILY

As the people at the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce marveled and discussed, Huang Xiaolong and a few others, including Turquoise Pool, arrived at the transmission array.

Wuhai Island has a branch of the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce, not only with a large transmission array but also much larger than that of Huozhou City.

After paying the divine coins and entering the transmission array, they settled in, and once the transmission array was activated, Huang Xiaolong and the others were sent into the void.

In the void, the chaotic airflow was constantly being torn apart.

Since it would take ten days to return to Azure Cloud Island, Huang Xiaolong used these ten days to study the ancient books and cultivation techniques obtained from the Undying Divine Phoenix Palace and the Ghost Buddha Secret Collection.

Simultaneously, Huang Xiaolong meditated quietly to comprehend Hongmeng Purple Qi.

When breaking through to the Ancient God Realm, the Three Supreme Divine Forms devoured a large amount of Hongmeng Purple Qi, allowing Huang Xiaolong to reach a new realm of understanding of the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Huang Xiaolong felt that soon, he would be able to successfully cultivate the Primordial Parasitic Technique.

Turquoise Pool was also diligently cultivating.

With the spiritual medicine and elixir pills provided by Huang Xiaolong, Turquoise Pool’s strength also increased rapidly.

Ten days quickly passed.

When the light of the transmission array dissipated, Huang Xiaolong and the others appeared on the Azure Cloud Island transmission array.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Huang Xiaolong had a feeling of returning home.

Azure Cloud Island was the first island he ascended to in the Divine World, and in Huang Xiaolong’s heart, Azure Cloud Island was his home in the Divine World, just like the Snow Continent in the Martial Soul World of the Lower Realm.

A day later, Huang Xiaolong and the others returned to the Barbarian God Sect.

When they returned to the Barbarian God Sect, Sect Master Gu Lingwei had long awaited with all the Supreme Elders and elders of the Barbarian God Sect, welcoming them from thousands of miles away within the Barbarian God Mountain Range.

"Greetings to Young Master Huang, Ancestor!" Gu Lingwei, upon seeing Huang Xiaolong from afar, prostrated himself and respectfully hailed.

All the Supreme Elders and elders of the Barbarian God Sect also prostrated themselves.

The title "Young Master Huang" was something Lv Zhuo had conveyed on the way, instructing Gu Lingwei to change the form of address.

Now, Huang Xiaolong was the direct disciple of Creation Gate Ancestor Jin Mei and Blood Saber Ancestor. Even the Giant Whale Sect, Primordial Image Sect, and even Golden Dragon Sect of Dragon Lion Island had pledged allegiance to Huang Xiaolong and recognized him as leader; it would naturally be inappropriate for them to call Huang Xiaolong by name directly.

Indeed, it was actually a great honor for the Barbarian God Sect to pledge allegiance to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong instructed Gu Lingwei and others to rise.

"Sect Master Gu, I am a disciple of the Barbarian God Sect, and I will be in the future as well. You can just call me by my name in the future," Huang Xiaolong stated.

Gu Lingwei kept shaking his head, unwilling.

Seeing Gu Lingwei’s persistence, Huang Xiaolong let it be.

Upon returning to the Great Hall of the Barbarian God Sect, Gu Lingwei had already prepared a banquet. Once Huang Xiaolong and Turquoise Pool were seated, he invited everyone to take their seats.

At the start of the banquet, Gu Lingwei first stood up, raised his cup, and congratulated Huang Xiaolong. Now, when he looked at Huang Xiaolong, there was complete reverence and fanaticism in his gaze.

Yes, fanaticism.

Just as some disciples of the Barbarian God Sect idolized Huang Xiaolong with fanaticism, Gu Lingwei, after knowing that Huang Xiaolong won first place in the Wars of the Ten Thousand Islands, became Jin Mei and Blood Saber Ancestor’s disciple, and achieved a breakthrough to the Ancient God Second Rank Middle Stage Peak in one sweep, idolized him fanatically.

Following Gu Lingwei, Lv Zhuo, Zhu Huan, Ren Changhai, Song Chengli from Golden Dragon Sect, and others successively congratulated Huang Xiaolong. This was followed by all the Supreme Elders of the Barbarian God Sect.

The Great Hall was filled with festivity.

After three rounds of wine, Huang Xiaolong inquired about the recent situations of the Barbarian God Sect and Azure Cloud Island.

Gu Lingwei reported everything in detail.

During Huang Xiaolong’s departure to the Creation Continent and participation in the Wars of the Ten Thousand Islands, nothing significant had happened to the Barbarian God Sect or Azure Cloud Island, and the Sea Clan had not attacked.

"Has there been any movement from the Ouyang Family?" Huang Xiaolong asked again.

Gu Lingwei hesitated for a moment before replying, "The Ouyang Family has aligned itself with the Primordial Dragon Sect and the Double City Sect. Over the past year or so, their power has expanded significantly. Seven island forces around the Ouyang Family have already pledged allegiance to them. Regarding Liupan Island’s super sect Seven Platform Sect, however, they refused allegiance, leading to the complete massacre of Seven Platform Sect’s Sect Master, Ancestor, Supreme Elders, and elders!"

"As for the male disciples of the Seven Platform Sect, they were imprisoned by the Ouyang Family to become mining slaves, working daily to mine for them. Meanwhile, the female disciples were offered as maids and playthings for the male disciples of the Ouyang Family!"

At this, Gu Lingwei’s eyes were filled with hate and anger.

He had met the Sect Master of the Seven Platform Sect a few times. Although they never had any significant connections, their impressions of each other were good. To think the Seven Platform Sect would end up like this!

"The Ouyang Family has become increasingly rampant over the last few months, even setting up a sea passage checkpoint. Every strong person and disciple passing through the sea area near the Ouyang Family must pay a hundred thousand divine coins each!"

"That’s not all. If anyone carries treasures, they are searched and forcibly taken away!"

"Any who resist are directly killed, and their bodies are thrown into the Endless Sea Domain, feeding the Sea Clan’s sea beasts!"

All the Supreme Elders of the Barbarian God Sect were filled with fury, chiming in one after another.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes were shrouded in coldness.

The Ouyang Family!

Damn them!

Huang Xiaolong crushed the wine cup in his hand into powder.

"Although the Ouyang Family does not dare to attack our Azure Cloud Island, I have heard that after subduing Tangshan Island, Divine Temple Island, and several other islands, the Ouyang Family plans to target Dragon Lion Island’s Golden Dragon Sect and the Mad Lion Divine Sect!" Gu Lingwei continued, glancing towards Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo from Golden Dragon Sect.

Because Huang Xiaolong hailed from Azure Cloud Island, the Ouyang Family dared not openly attack Azure Cloud Island, but they had no qualms about targeting Dragon Lion Island.

Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo’s faces darkened.

Huang Xiaolong asked Gu Lingwei how long he estimated before the Ouyang Family would attack Dragon Lion Island.

Gu Lingwei respectfully replied, "Considering that the forces of Tangshan Island and Divine Temple Island are not weak either, it is estimated that it will take half a year for the Ouyang Family to subdue Tangshan Island, Divine Temple Island, and several other islands."

Half a year!

Huang Xiaolong crushed the wine cup in his hand into powder.

"The Ouyang Family may not dare to attack our Azure Cloud Island, but I have heard that after subduing Tangshan Island, Divine Temple Island, and several other islands, they’ll target Dragon Lion Island’s Golden Dragon Sect and the Mad Lion Divine Sect next!" Gu Lingwei said again.

Due to Huang Xiaolong’s association with Azure Cloud Island, the Ouyang Family didn’t dare to blatantly attack Azure Cloud Island, but they had no such reservations against Dragon Lion Island.

Song Chengli from Golden Dragon Sect and Liu Zhuo appeared nervous.

Huang Xiaolong asked, "Based on your estimation, how long will it take for the Ouyang Family to attack Dragon Lion Island?"

Gu Lingwei respectfully responded, "The forces on Tangshan Island, Divine Temple Island, and several other islands are not that weak, so I estimate it may still take half a year before the Ouyang Family can completely subdue Tangshan Island, Divine Temple Island, and several other islands."

Half a year...

Huang Xiaolong decided that in half a year’s time, it would be enough.

In half a year, he should be able to open the cemetery of the Evil Demon Clan Ancestor, refine a batch of Evil Demon Puppets, and subdue the Evil Demon Clan, then, he could eliminate the Ouyang Family in one fell swoop.

Due to the urgent situation posed by the Ouyang Family’s expansion, Huang Xiaolong decided not to linger at the Barbarian God Sect. He planned to set off for Evil Demon Island the following day.

That night, Huang Xiaolong visited the mysterious old man he had rescued from the Soul Clan’s Young Patriarch’s dungeon. He had been staying in a mansion in Barbarian God City under the watch of the Barbarian God Sect elders.

Huang Xiaolong had always been curious about the mysterious old man’s identity, but the other party never revealed it. Unfortunately, the mysterious old man had an incredibly strong prohibition inside him, preventing Huang Xiaolong and the Golden Horned Little Bull from conducting a soul search.

The next day, Huang Xiaolong left the Barbarian God Sect with Song Chengli and Liu Zhuo from Golden Dragon Sect.

Huang Xiaolong planned to first return to the Evil Demon Island with the two of them. After all, bringing Turquoise Pool along would have been inconvenient.
