Chapter 25: The Annual Clan Assembly is Here Again!

In the back mountain, after spending some time practicing Tempest of Hell, he then continued with Execute Demon Sword.

Although Execute Demon Sword is weaker than Asura Sword, he can use it against regularopponents.

As he swung the blades displaying theExecute Demon Sword, shadows of the blades swung out like waves, one after another, becoming increasingly sharp and aggressive as if it could kill every evil demon and exterminate ghosts.

By the time he finished training the Execute Demon Sword, the dazzling suns was high up in the sky, and one could feelthe heat on the skin.

Huang Xiaolong stopped and returned to Huang Clan Manor.

When he reach the small courtyard, Fei Hou was standing there, waiting for him.

Sovereign! Fei Hou saw Huang Xiaolong returned andquickly saluted. He knows Huang Xiaolong trains at the back mountain and will come back around this hour; thus, he waits here in the courtyard.

Huang Xiaolong nodded as he walked into the courtyard, and asked, How is your Luohan Sword practice progressing? Five months ago, Fei Hous broken veins had recovered and Huang Xiaolong taught himthe Luohan Swordskill.

Replying Sovereign, your subordinate has trained up to the tenth move. Fei Hou replied respectfully with heartfelt gratitude. Sovereign not only healed his broken veins, but he also taught him a high-grade battle skill, theLuohan Sword. In these four months, his cultivation even advanced after his broken veins were reconnected.

The tenth move, Huang Xiaolong nodded satisfactorily. In less than half a year this Fei Hou had reached the tenth move.

Zhi Zhi-Zhi! When Huang Xiaolong entered the small courtyard, something small leapt at him from out of nowhere and landed on his shoulder. Huang Xiaolong did not dodge, for it was the Violet Spirit Devourer Monkey.

A year had passed, but there were no changes to the little violet monkey. However, although there were no physical changes to the little violet monkey, its cultivation speed waseven more terrifying than Huang Xiaolongs. Despite the fact that hes a peak late-Fifth Order, without the use of Asura Sword Skill, he couldnt injure the little violet monkey.

Little guy, did you go hunting these pastfew days? Huang Xiaolong laughed as he looked at the little violet monkey on his shoulder. The little monkeys quick rise in cultivation wasall due to the beast core he swallowed from killing wicked beasts; its speed made even Huang Xiaolong who possessed superb talent twin martial spirits feels envious of its ability to increase cultivation by consuming beast cores.

Hearing Huang Xiaolong's question, the little violet monkey gestured with its two little hands, and then it squeaked cheerfully with pride at Huang Xiaolong, showing off its harvest from hunting wicked beasts these past few days.

Watching the little monkeys cute antics, Huang Xiaolong smiled. Okay, okay little guy, I admit youre very powerful all right.

The little violet monkey nodded its head, which meant of course.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head, told the little violet monkey to play on its own while he sparred with Fei Hou using theExecute Demon Sword. No doubt, Fei Hou repressed his strength at peak late-Fifth Order.

In the past two months,Huang Xiaolongs fighting experience had increased a whole lot as he sparred continuously with Fei Hou who was a Tenth Order warrior.

But, the little violet monkey that Huang Xiaolong sent away suddenly ran back, leapt towards Fei Hou and attacked him.

Thus, the scene changed from two people sparring to two people and a monkey sparring. Huang Xiaolong attacked the little violet monkey, the little violet monkey attacked Fei Hou and in turn, Fei Hou attacked Huang Xiaolong. Sometimes, Huang Xiaolong and the little violet monkey would attack Fei Hou together.

The entire small yard was fill with flashes of swords and monkey claws.

The little violet monkeys claws are extremely sharp, comparable to a sacred-grade weapon. Fei Hou faced extreme pressure against two opponents, especially with his cultivation repressed at peak late-Fifth Order, and in a moment of carelessness, he was scratched by monkey claws; he could only grin despite the pain.

With the presence of Fei Hou and the little violet monkey, Huang Xiaolongs training days werent dull and boring.

Very quickly, twenty days passed.

It was nowthe end of the year.

Just like last year, inside the Huang Clan Manor were decorations of festive trinkets and colorful lanterns. Everywhere,the guards, maids, and servants were busy, full of festive cheer.

Tomorrow is the annual Clan Assembly! Huang Xiaolong stood in the middle of the small yard watching pure white snow float down. His hand reached out to catch a snowflake, feeling the cold as a snowflake lands on his palm; Huang Xiaolong remembered that it had been three years since the last time it last snowed. He loves the sunshine, and he also loves when it snows and blankets the world in white as if covering the ugliness of the world.

Fei Hou stood two meters away from Huang Xiaolong, guarding silently.

Wonder what Li Lus doing now? Huang Xiaolong thought inside his heart.

From the time they returned from the Li Residence, Huang Xiaolong and Huang Peng visited the Li Residence twice. Ever since that banquet incident, Li Lu became taciturn and immersed herself in practice just like Huang Xiaolong.

Snow continued to fall, and just moments later, Huang Xiaolong was entirely covered in snow.

With a small shake, the accumulated snow fell to the ground andhe turned around and left the small yard, heading towards Eastern Courtyard together with Fei Hou.

Wants me to look good? Huang Xiaolong suppressed the killing intent in his heart. Since tomorrows the assembly, then hell let Huang Wei enjoy one more day.

One night passed.

Snow had stopped falling.

The sky brightened in the absence of sunlight. Huang Xiaolong stopped his training and left the small courtyard with Fei Hou, heading towards Eastern Courtyard.

When they reached the Main Foyer, most of the elders, housekeepers and disciples had already arrived. Huang Xiaolongs eyes scanned the Main Hall and saw that both father and son, Huang Ming and Huang Wei werealready there.

Note:

Luohan Sword Skill Using pinyin here cause I cant find an appropriate sub. Luohan (Lohan) usually refers to monks; like Shaolin Eighteen Lohan Hands. In Sanskrit, its called Arhat meaning a holy man but reluctant to use it here.

Lit. look good- embarrassed/humiliated. A sarcastic way of speaking. Will appear many times throughout the novel, please note.

Next release: Tues/Wed
