Invincible

Chapter 428: Not Even Qualified to Carry His Shoes?

Xie Hui sat on the main seat, listening to the flatteries coming from the Enforcement Elders’ mouths. He smiled faintly and nodded his head while raising his wine cup in a toasting gesture. No one knew what was going on inside this Young Lord’s mind.

Chen Xiaofeng went on, “Rumors say that Shi Xiaofei has an innate born Buddha Physique, once Young Lord coupled with her, Young Lord’s cultivation would definitely grow by leaps and bounds!”

Another round of bootlicking ensued, filling the spacious hall with laughter and cheers.

“Have all the guests been notified?” Xie Hui asked while placing his wine cup down.

“As early as half a month ago, we have sent out invitations to all the renowned experts, but it happened on such short notice, so the Distinct Void Door and White Phoenix House’s Sovereigns can’t make it.” Chen Xiaofeng answered, “They only sent some Elders over.”

Xie Hui nodded, “It’s fine.” Then, he asked another question, “Does Shi Fantian know?”

Chen Xiaofeng replied, “He does, but that old wrinkly-skin flew into a rage and had the Cosmos God Cult messenger disciples we sent all killed!”

“Shi Fantian, that old fogey, doesn’t know what’s good for him!” Another Enforcer barked, “He should be thankful that our Young Lord took an interest in his daughter, how dare he kill our Cosmos God Cult disciples!”

Xie Hui gently waved his hand at the people below, “We’re in the wrong in this matter for setting the wedding without consulting the elders, Shi Fantian is an empire’s Emperor on Snow Wind Continent, it’s only natural he’s upset.”

Chen Xiaofeng and the rest quickly nodded in agreement with Xie Hui and the clamors about Shi Fantian stopped immediately. When all was said and done, Shi Fantian would be the Young Lord’ father-in-law.

“Any movements on the Asura’s Gate side?” In an abrupt change of topic, Xie Hui inquired another question.

He Zhi was the one who answered, “After the Enigma City matter, Asura’s Gate didn’t have any other movement, but the Qi Family’s Patriarch was killed by Huang Xiaolong, whereas the remaining members were taken under the Asura’s Gate. Half of the fourteen big families hastened to submit under the Asura’s Gate as if hot water scalded their feet!”

A cold gleam flickered passed Xie Hui’s eyes.

“Young Lord, that Huang Xiaolong actually dared to slaughter close to ten thousand of our Cosmos God Cult disciples!” A one-eyed old man sitting further down from He Zhi spoke up, “Such impertinence!! The Cosmos God Cult doesn’t exist in his eyes!”

This one-eyed old man was none other than Hu Chen, one of Cosmos God Cult’s Enforcement Elders and also Hu Guang’s father.

“That’s right, Young Lord. If we do not respond in kind, all the experts on Starcloud Continent would think that the Cosmos God Cult is afraid of Huang Xiaolong!” A Legacy Hall Elder, Sun Luyu stated.

Chen Xiaofeng and the others around echoed the same sentiment, suddenly the entire hall was filled with angry clamors. Xie Hui gently pressed his hand in the air, calming the group of people.

“Father is in Peace Emperor World, he won’t be able to return for a short while.” Xie Hui continued with an impassive expression, “Let Huang Xiaolong live a few more days for now, when Father returns for the Grand Martial Exchange and conquers Starcloud Continent, Huang Xiaolong and the Asura’s Gate will be on the top of the kill list!”

Conquer Starcloud Continent!

Chen Xiaofeng and everyone were genuinely shocked by this revelation.

“Young Lord, has Lord Leader…?!” He Zhi ventured with caution.

Xie Hui nodded, “Correct, Father has broken through God Realm.”

Chen Xiaofeng, He Zhi, and everyone else showed an astounded expression on their faces, then it turned into euphoria as they rushed to their feet, conveying their congratulations.

An hour later, the party dispersed for the night. Xie Hui too returned to his own residence courtyard.

His residence courtyard was brightly lit even though it was deep into the night, exuding a festive ambiance. In the middle of the room was an extra large bed, where a beautiful young woman sat in a waiting posture. This peerless beauty was Shi Xiaofei.

Watching Xie Hui walk into the room, Shi Xiaofei stood up angrily with her eyes glaring at Xie Hui. Even Shi Xiaofei’s angry expression was a sight to behold.

“What did you do to Xiaorou and Xiaoyue?” Shi Xiaofei demanded.

Xiaorou and Xiaoyue were the two maids that accompanied her from the Blessed Buddha Empire. Both girls followed Shi Xiaofei since her childhood days, thus their relationship was very good.

Facing Shi Xiaofei that looked like she wanted to swallow him whole, Xie Hui maintained a suave appearance, “Don’t worry, they’re fine. However, if you do not cooperate tomorrow, I cannot guarantee what will happen to them tomorrow night.”

“You… despicable!” Shi Xiaofei gnashed each word through gritted teeth.

Xie Hui took no offense, a tiny grin emerged on his face instead, “Thank you very much for your compliment. I will show you just how despicable I can be.”

Shi Xiaofei was heaving with anger from Xie Hui’s words, her chest moving up and down. Xie Hui didn’t bother to conceal his gaze as he stared at Shi Xiaofei’s bosom.

Noticing his eye level, Shi Xiaofei’s hands flew to cover her bosom, spewing fire from her eyes, “Xie Hui, don’t even dream of touching a hair on my body!”

Xie Hui retorted, “Do you think you have any hopes of resisting?”

Shi Xiaofei’s face flushed red with anger. From the time she was captured, the other side fed her something unknown to her that hindered her from initiating a shred of battle qi from her Qi Sea.

The current her was vulnerable even facing the lowest of Cosmos God Cult disciple, powerless to resist, not to mention going against someone like Xie Hui.

Shi Xiaofei resorted to glowering at Xie Hui with an icy gaze, “To tell you the truth, I already have someone I like.”

This drew a frown from Xie Hui.

“Compared to him, you’re not even qualified to carry his shoes!” Shi Xiaofei added with a vengeance.

Xie Hui broke into a unruly laughter instead of getting angry, “I, the Young Lord of Cosmos God Cult, am not even qualified to carry his shoes?” It sounded like the world’s funniest joke in Xie Hui’s ears.

Indeed, if one were to compare identities, relying on his status as the Cosmos God Cult’s Young Lord, not only on Starcloud Continent, but even in the entire Martial Spirit World, no more than three people could rival him.

Regardless of that, the woman he set his eyes on, Shi Xiaofei, was saying it to his face that he, the Undefeated War God Xie Hui, wasn’t qualified to carry that person’s shoes?

If any of the Cosmos God Cult Elders like Chen Xiaofeng were here, watching Xie Hui’s wanton laughter, they would know that Xie Hui was truly angered at this moment. There weren’t many things or people that could truly anger their Young Lord.

“I’m really curious, who is this person that has captured the heart of Snow Wind Continent’s number one beauty?!” His laughter died abruptly, a blizzard cold aura seemed to come from Xie Hui’s body.

Shi Xiaofei’s momentum matched Xie Hui’s, “He will come save me tomorrow, you will know at that time.”

“Good.” Xie Hui did not press the matter further, “I shall wait and see the identity of this person whose shoes I don’t even qualify to carry!” Murderous intent flitted in Xie Hui’s eyes, “Tomorrow, if he dares to come, I shall fight him personally right in front of you, dig his heart out and feed it to the dogs!”

“You!” Shi Xiaofei choked with anger.

“But, I won’t let him die so easily.” A wicked sneer hung on Xie Hui’s mouth, “Tomorrow night, I’ll make him kneel here, in this room, and watch how I press you under my body, at my mercy; let him hear your sultry moans in pleasure. Still, he’s blessed to be able to see your enticing naked body before he dies.”

Shi Xiaofei’s eyes turned scarlet, her chest heaved up and down, her hands raised high wanting to slap the person in front of her.

Xie Hui reached out, grasping her wrist, then pulled it to his nose and took a whiff of her intoxicating scent, laughing as he said, “I didn’t expect that even your hand smells so nice.”

Shi Xiaofei was rendered into speechless anger and humiliation.

“Fret not, my dear, I won’t touch you tonight. I will save that beautiful moment for tomorrow night.” Xie Hui turned around and left in a good mood, leaving the sound of his laughter echoing in the room.

Warm tears rolled down Shi Xiaofei’s cheeks watching the receding silhouette.

Tomorrow, will he really come save her?

Although she wished he would come, would he really appear tomorrow? Perhaps he didn’t even know that she had been captured, having no idea at all that tomorrow…  

Chapter 429: Frontal Assault

The night passed without incident.

Early next day, radiant sunlight blessed a lively Cosmos God City, for today was Cosmos God Cult’s Young Lord’s big wedding day. This was sensational news for the entire Starcloud Continent, even the whole Martial Spirit World.

Colorful lanterns lined the streets of Cosmos God City, the air buoyant with a contagious festive atmosphere. People from all big and small sects, renowned families, and forces came to send their well wishes.

Cosmos God City’s south entrance was more than a dozen zhang wide, yet today it felt crowded.

The area around the Cosmos God City’s Castellan Manor was even more packed, various shapes of luxurious carriages and imposing looking mounts were moving in and out, bedazzling the eyes.

“Mid-divine grade spirit pellets, ten pellets~!”

“Twelve hundred years old Evergreen Jade Heart Grass, three stalks~!”

“Sky Dragon Crystal, two pieces~!”

Cosmos God Cult Elder Lin Xiao was reading out the congratulatory gifts sent by guests that came for the wedding banquet. Any one of these gifts was enough to cause a sensation by themselves.

This lowest grade of spirit pellets that the guests brought was low-divine grade. In this grand reception, one would be too embarrassed to take out a holy grade spirit pellet, whereas elixirs were only those above one thousand years old, while crystals and ores consisted of the rarest kinds.

Once these gifts were opened and listed down by the Cosmos God Cult, the gifts were casually thrown into the yard allocated for safekeeping.

Those spirit pellets, rare elixirs, and crystal ores may be treasures in others’ eyes, but for the Cosmos God Cult’s Young Lord Xie Hui, they were only common goods.

Only items on par with high-grade divine spirit pellets were qualified to enter Cosmos God Cult’s treasure chamber.

Right at this moment, Elder Lin Xiao suddenly announced in a high-pitched voice, “The Distinct Void Door, high-grade divine spirit pellet, Dragon Tiger Great Rejuvenating Pellet, one piece~~!”

This stirred the crowd’s excitement, people craned their necks trying to get a looks at a high-grade divine spirit pellet.

That was a high-grade divine spirit pellet!

No wonder the Distinct Void Door was one of the twelve super forces, just a congratulatory gift they gave out was a high-grade divine spirit pellet!

Time flows fast, soon it was close to high noon. All the experts from other sects and big families trickled in, filling the many banquet seats arranged in the inner and outer hall. The inner hall was limited to Saint realm experts, hardly any Tenth Order Xiantian realm warriors could be seen in this hall.

As for those Seventh and Eighth Order Xiantian disciples of big families who weren’t qualified to pass through the Cosmos God City Castellan Manor’s doors, they could only ‘join’ the banquet from restaurants across the street, stretching their necks for a glimpse into the Castellan Manor, at the important guests entering the manor premise.

“I heard the Cosmos God Cult Leader has broken through to God Realm! I wonder if that is true?!”

“I’m guessing it’s true, this comes from Xie Hui’s lips, he wouldn’t dare to use this matter as a joke!”

Inside the inner hall, Saint realm experts from different forces whispered cautiously amongst themselves, each bore a different expression.

Just last night, Xie Hui mentioned that his father had advanced into the God Realm, and today, the news had reached the ears of these big families and forces. The impact of this news far surpassed Xie Hu’s wedding day.

The strength of a single God Realm master was enough to break the current power balance on Starcloud Continent. Each big forces and families showed varied reactions hearing the news.

Certain big families decided to seize the opportunity before the end of Xie Hui’s wedding to announce their submission to the Cosmos God Cult. The way these families see it, since the Cosmos God Cult’s Leader had broken through to God Realm, conquering the Starcloud Continent was inevitable sooner or later, only a matter of time. Getting onboard early beats latecomers.

“In Enigma City, close to ten thousand Cosmos God Cult disciples died after Huang Xiaolong gave the kill order, did you hear about this?”

“Yes, we’ve heard about it. Cosmos God Cult Enforcement Elder Hu Chen’s only son, Hu Guang also died in Enigma City, I also heard that Hu Guang died miserably.”

“There’s a good show waiting for us. That Huang Xiaolong has been acting too arrogant, does he really think he’s invincible? To actually give the order to slaughter ten thousand Cosmos God Cult disciples. Mark my words, Huang Xiaolong and Asura’s Gate’s days are numbered!”‘

Almost all the experts present were talking about the recent incident in Enigma City.

“For Shi Xiaofei to be able to marry Cosmos God Cult’s Young Lord, Shi Fantian must be beaming from ear to ear since the Blessed Buddha Empire on Snow Wind Continent is able to climb up this tall branch!”

“Still, you can’t deny the fact that Shi Xiaofei is indeed a beauty, it would be good fortune if I can have a daughter like her.”

The topics around the banquet shifted quick as the wind, changing to Shi Xiaofei and the Blessed Buddha Empire.

While this was happening, on the main street leading out of the city, at the southern city gates, space rippled gently and Huang Xiaolong’s figure appeared from the void. He was delayed for a few hours due to a sudden enlightenment last night while pondering the Thirteen Forms of the Dragon God.

Huang Xiaolong tilted his head slightly, looking at the sky. It was nearly noon, with sunlight pouring strongly down the city.

By the time he reached the Cosmos God City’s Castellan Manor, watching the endless parade of experts from various families and sect, doubt surfaced in his mind. He finally realized that it was Cosmos God Cult’s Young Lord Xie Hui’s big wedding day today by picking up the bits of conversation from the people around.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes sharpened dangerously in an instant. He didn’t expect to arrive right on Xie Hui’s wedding day!

The killing intent from Huang Xiaolong’s body swept out like a thousand zhang giant blizzard, the experts passing close to him were alarmed, retreating as if their lives were in danger.

The strong killing intent from Huang Xiaolong attracted the attention of Cosmos God Cult disciples guarding the southern city gates.

“Which sect or family are you from? Do you have an invitation on you?” Several Cosmos God Cult disciples approached, questioning Huang Xiaolong.

Xie Hui suddenly issued an order late last night, only those who had an invitation on them could enter the city, therefore, today, any experts that wished to enter the Cosmos God City must first show the invitation.

However, it was as if Huang Xiaolong did not hear those disciples, walking straight toward the southern city gates.

Watching Huang Xiaolong’s actions, the several Cosmos God Cult disciples faces turned grim.

“Stop right there!” One of the disciples reached out to stop Huang Xiaolong, shouting, “Kiddo, if you refuse to take out your invitation, don’t blame me…!”

That disciple’s sentence was cut off here as a surge of powerful energy rushed toward him. Before he could react, he was swept under the overwhelming energy and was blown several meters out, crashing into the Cosmos God City’s hard walls.

Everyone on the crowded passage was stunned.

The experts that came to congratulate were looking at Huang Xiaolong with astonished expressions, were they mistaken? There was actually someone who dared to stir trouble in Cosmos God City on the Young Lord’s wedding day?

The surrounding Cosmos God Cult disciples snapped to their senses a second later, all shouting furiously at Huang Xiaolong as they spread out to encircle him.

Huang Xiaolong continued walking into the city as if he did not see these people.

The Cosmos God Cult disciples launched a flurry of attacks, however, whether it was their attacks or themselves, anything that got within ten zhang radius of Huang Xiaolong was all repelled without exception.

By the time Huang Xiaolong passed through the south side city gates, the three to four hundred Cosmos God Cult disciples stationed there were lying in puddles of blood.

The experts that were planning to enter the city were scared off, hiding far away for safety while watching Huang Xiaolong’s back in horror.

Huang Xiaolong entered the city, ignoring the terrified looks cast on him and headed straight to the Cosmos God Cult’s Castellan Manor.

Huang Xiaolong’s initial plan was to sneak into the Cosmos God City and rescue Shi Xiaofei on the low, but he didn’t expect the wedding day would be held today. Moreover, it was already noon, he was running out of time. Thus Huang Xiaolong decided to act outrageously this once—frontal assault!
