Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149 Nangong Hong Appears Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149 Nangong Hong Appears Huang Xiaolong let the supersized titan’s divine sense scan him without resistance.
He completely opened up his divine sense.
Certainly, being a deity himself with an inviolable majestic aura, Huang Xiaolong’s divine sense was the strongest. Any attempts by this titan’s divine sense to play tricks would be met with immediate retaliation.
While checking if Huang Xiaolong was possessed by an old monster, the titan’s divine sense also tried to pry into Huang Xiaolong’s secrets. But could Huang Xiaolong let him succeed? He easily feigned ignorance.
Soon, the supersized titan withdrew his divine sense.
“Alright, I have completed the check,” a voice as ancient as the ages thundered across the main battlefield, utterly authoritative, allowing no one to defy it.
“Then please reveal the true identity of this old monster to the world, and slay him! This person is a traitor of the Qingcheng Sect, utterly rebellious and must be executed to scatter his soul!” said the titan from the Qingcheng Sect, his voice emanating ferocious and cold ruthlessness.
The spectators at the site also became noisy.
Unexpectedly–
“Alright, members of the Qingcheng Sect, please stop causing trouble,” said the titan sternly. “Just now, I meticulously checked with my divine sense, and there is no such thing as possession by an old monster. This young man’s soul is extremely pure, clear as jade, young… He has not been possessed. Ah, it’s truly fortunate for our world of overseas practitioners to have such a prodigious talent! The competition continues!”
Not?
Not possessed by an old monster?
“Impossible!” A clamor of doubts erupted from the bronze palace where many Qingcheng Sect powers were located.
“Hmph!!!!!” The titan was displeased and snorted coldly like a thunderclap on a clear day. “Are you doubting my words? Do you think I am being partial or corrupt? If so, I must say, the Qingcheng Sect is narrow-minded, fabricating things out of nothing, trying to kill a genius!”
“No, we dare not, I… We will no longer dwell on this matter,” the Qingcheng Sect titan said submissively.
“I just knew it! Little Long couldn’t possibly be possessed by an old monster,” Duanmu Wei breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Then…” Huang Xiaolong looked playfully at the grand hall where the Qingcheng Sect was located and said in a deliberate manner, “Since my identity has been confirmed, then please, all members of the Qingcheng Sect, come out and kneel to serve tea.”
“You!” the titan from Qingcheng Sect growled furiously. “Boy, do not be too arrogant! I have not yet settled the account with you for crippling our sect’s genius, Cang Luan, yet you dare to act haughty!”
“I’m haughty? Hahahaha!” Huang Xiaolong laughed coldly. “Just now, who agreed to kneel and serve tea? To go back on your word, is that the style of Qingcheng Sect?”
The atmosphere at the main battlefield was awkward.
Indeed, what the Qingcheng Sect had agreed upon was heard by everyone present. To renounce it outright seemed somewhat unreasonable. However, it was absolutely impossible for the Qingcheng Sect to kneel and serve Huang Xiaolong tea, as doing so would mean the complete loss of their reputation, possibly leading to their disintegration.
“Boy, stop being unreasonable here! This is not a place for you to act wildly! Having talent means nothing if you die young!” the Qingcheng Sect titan said with a resentful voice. “A man of Qingcheng can be killed but not humiliated!”
The titan then spoke. “Enough, young man, that’s enough. Hmmm… Do not disturb the competition further. Your personal grievances with the Qingcheng Sect can be resolved after the competition is over, in private.”
“Heh…” Huang Xiaolong looked up at the grand hall where the Qingcheng Sect was seated, his pupils slightly narrowed, and his gaze stern, “Alright, very well, we’ll leave it at that for today. But Qingcheng Sect, what you owe me, I will definitely reclaim. Next time I visit Qingcheng, it will be more than just kneeling to serve tea… No one can default on a debt in front of me.”
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong no longer mentioned the matter, as if it had never occurred.
Continue with the competition!
Huang Xiaolong composed himself, his gaze sweeping over, looking towards the three prodigies ranked second, third, and fourth on the Hidden Dragon List.
Ranked third was a female disciple from the Emei Sect, peerlessly beautiful, a nation-toppling beauty. She was also a mid-stage Tribulation Passage practitioner, but much more formidable than Ji Chuchen.
“I am Shandan Feng of the Emei Sect,” she said quietly, watching Huang Xiaolong.
“Oh, from the Emei Sect–not bad,” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Previously I killed Ji Chuchen. I guess you would want to avenge him, right? Fine, come on, I’ll play with you. But, I am someone who cherishes the fairer sex, I won’t kill you.”
Shandan Feng and Ji Chuchen were known as the Emei’s Twin Prides, sharing a kind of camaraderie and mutual respect. It was only natural for her to seek revenge for Ji Chuchen.
“Heh–” However, Shandan Feng shook her head. “No need. You are very strong. I believe that each of your battles has not been down to luck but due to overwhelming strength. Your demeanor always so composed is the most terrifying. You are frightfully calm and composed. I admit I am no match for you–I surrender, and I relinquish my ranking to you. From today onwards, you are the third on the Hidden Dragon List.”
Shandan Feng refused to fight, directly surrendering!
At this, the spectators also clearly realized that Huang Xiaolong’s momentum had risen! Almost no one dared challenge his edge!
Monster!
Stealing the limelight from Nangong Hong!
Rising unstoppable!
“I am the fourth-ranked Ni Youjing. My strength is slightly weaker than Shandan Feng’s. Since even she has surrendered, there’s no need for me to humiliate myself. Yes, I surrender. I won’t fight you,” a man in a white robe said, quite magnanimously.
“Ah~~~” The second-ranked was a man with a small mustache, his eyes flickering as if hesitating, to fight or not to fight.
After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth. “I surrender. However, I really want to see if you can take Nangong Hong down–hahahaha–I think, with your unyielding nature, you won’t be satisfied with just this ranking. You must have your eyes on Nangong Hong’s top spot. Well, to witness your pinnacle duel today, I’ve really hit the jackpot. I’m betting on you!”
The last few prodigies consecutively surrendered.
Huang Xiaolong’s ranking soared to second!
“Hmm–good, very good,” the voice of the ancient overlord echoed above the main battlefield. “I’ve witnessed many Hidden Dragon List competitions, but I’ve never seen anything like today. Young man, your edge is no lesser than Nangong Hong’s! Now, you are second-ranked, are you ready for the final battle, to reach the top? Looking forward to it! Who among you, the younger generation, will be the invincible one? To fight or not?!!!!!”
This ancient overlord’s voice was also filled with an encouraging flavor.
The atmosphere intensified.

All the spectators at the venue roared together–
“Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!”
Just then, a proud, aloof, disdainful, domineering voice suppressed all other noise.
“Since I have entered the scene, who talks of the invincible?”
The demon-like Nangong Hong walked out from his private room, hands behind his back, stepping through the air, looking condescendingly at Huang Xiaolong!
