In order to arrive at the Fire Stone World as quickly as possible, Huang Xiaolong summoned the four odd beasts, the fourteen radiance angels, one hundred Undead Netherguards, and all seventy-plus Ice Dragons to push the flying ship to its limit.
After using over two hundred Emperor Realm experts to power up the flying ship, it wouldnât be an exaggeration to say that that was the most luxurious lineup ever used to control a flying ship in the history of the Divine World.
Not to mention the fact that a majority of the Emperors moving the ship were high-level Emperors!
Even though Fang Xuanxuan and Peng Xiao knew that Huang Xiaolong had many subordinates under his command, they were shocked when he summoned all of them at once. Their chests heaved when they saw so many high-level Emperors appearing before them.
Huang Xiaolong didnât think too much about it. All he could think of were his family members and Shi Xiaofei.
âShi Xiaofei!â Suddenly, Huang Xiaolongâs mind seemed to have freshened up as he took out the transmission symbol once again. After reading it several times, he realized that something was missing.
His expression turned extremely ugly.
In Bei Xiaomeiâs message, she hadnât mentioned anything about Bei Xiaomei! She had only told him that the other Huang Family members were located at the Fire Stone World.
He had missed the detail due to his eagerness just a moment ago.
âXiaolong, whatâs wrong?â When the two of them noticed his abnormal behavior, they couldnât help but ask.
Huang Xiaolong sighed before shaking his head. âItâs nothing.â As soon as the words left his lips, he retrieved his transmission symbol and sent a message of his own to Bei Xiaomei. He inquired about Shi Xiaofei.
Her reply came very quickly.
Huang Xiaolong felt the blood draining from his face when he read what she said.
In her reply, Bei Xiaomei mentioned that Shi Xiaofei was never seen together with the members of the Huang Family.
Shi Xiaofei isnât there!
Could it be that I was right?! Did she ascend to the Buddhist World?! If that really happened, things would be bad!
There was the Silver Fox Commerce, Grandmist Emperor Palace, and the Fortune Emperor Palace located in the Divine World. Huang Xiaolong was confident that he would be able to locate them as long as they were situated in the Divine World. As for the Buddhist World, Huang Xiaolong had no power there! He would be dreaming if he wanted to look for someone there!
âXiaolong, did something happen?â When they noticed Huang Xiaolongâs pale face, they asked with concern. âDid something happen to aunty and uncle?!â
Huang Xiaolong shook his head and denied. âNo⌠something happened to XiaofeiâŚâ
âSister Xiaofei!â The two of them exclaimed in shock.
Huang Xiaolong had told them his stories from the lower realm, and they knew that Shi Xiaofei was Huang Xiaolongâs wife.
After showing them Bei Xiaomeiâs message, the two of them sank into silence.
âXiaolong, Sister Xiaofei wouldnât have met with any mishaps. She probably must have gotten separated from uncle and aunty. The Silver Fox Commerce will definitely find her!â Fang Xuanxuan consoled Huang Xiaolong.
He sighed in response. âLetâs hope so.â
Huang Xiaolong quickly sent another message to Bei Xiaomei, inquiring about his family memberâs situation on the Fire Stone World. Even though she had mentioned something about his family members being on the Fire Stone World, she hadnât revealed how they were doing.
He soon received a reply. In Bei Xiaomeiâs response, she spoke about how all of them were slaves of the Earth Splitting Gang and their suffering at the hands of the Heavenly God Realm disciples from the gang. The Silver Fox Commerceâs members had managed to find Huang Xiaolongâs family because the Heavenly God Ream disciples had whipped Huang Peng when he had claimed that he was Huang Xiaolongâs father.
âEarth Shattering Gang!â Killing intent burst out from Huang Xiaolongâs eyes, and the temperature on the Netherking Flying Ship dropped below freezing point.
When the two ladies felt the killing intent coming from Huang Xiaolongâs body, they quickly went over and read the report sent by Bei Xiaomei. Traces of rage rose in their hearts.
âThe Earth Splitting Gang deserves to be annihilated!â Peng Xiao's resentful voice resounded through the air.
Huang Xiaolong once again returned a message to Bei Xiaomei, requesting her to secretly protect his family members. He didnât want them to startle the enemy in case anything untoward happened to his parents before his arrival.
Right now, the news of Huang Xiaolongâs parents arriving in the Divine World hadnât spread. If the Nine Yin Corpse Tribe were to learn of the news, he was afraid that they would be the first ones to make a move against them. Even Di Jun and Di Jing might do something to harm them.
As such, Huang Xiaolong requested for Bei Xiaomei to protect them secretly.
He decided to rescue them himself!
As the Netherking Flying Ship accelerated, they needed at least twenty more days to arrive on the Fire Stone World.
âTwenty days⌠Father, mother, wait for me!â Huang Xiaolong prayed in his heart.
Just as Huang Xiaolong was rushing towards the Fire Stone World, the Earth Shattering Gangâs main hall was getting lively as the various elders gathered to discuss the recent happenings.
âAccording to Guan Sect, we need to turn in another fold of gold next monthâŚâ The leader of the Earth Shattering Gang, Cheng Guotao, said. âFrom tomorrow onwards, order the mines to speed up their production! Tell the slaves we want twice the amount from next month onwards.â
A frown appeared on the face of one of the elders. âEven if we force them to hurry, they probably wonât be able to do it. Moreover, they might die of exhaustion if we force them to work any harder.â
After all, they were already working at their limit. They would definitely die if they were pushed even further.
âWho cares about them! They are nothing but slaves! If they die, weâll head out and capture another batch!â Cheng Guotao chuckled sinisterly. âThe things we lack the least are slaves! Tan Shao, go out and capture another batch tomorrow!â
âYes, Leader.â The elder called Tan Shao nodded his head in reply.
Very quickly, the order from Cheng Guotao arrived at the mines.
âWhat?! We have to double the production?!â Huang Peng and Su Yanâs expression turned ugly when they heard the order. Rage filled their hearts.
âAre you really trying to work us to death?!â Everyone raged at the bunch of disciples guarding them.
One of the disciples snorted at them, âThatâs the order from the leader! Itâs no use to grumble here. Why donât you hurry up and dig?! What are you waiting for?! There will no longer be a one-hour break every day! If you fail to complete the task, wait for us to punish you! We will let you experience a living hell!â
He turned to Huang Peng and chuckled, âYou better behave yourself.â
âIf you yell, weâll torture you to death with our whip!â
Guo Xiaofan roared in anger, âMy uncle will save us all! You will regret this!â
All of the disciples started laughing as they pointed their whip at Guo Xiaofan. âIf Huang Xiaolong really comes to save you, Iâll eat the entire mountain!â
Roaring laughter resounded through the sky.
