NOVPUBChapter 697 -697: Top-Level Venue
鈥淭h-this鈥his鈥︹€ The man from the Bian Family stammered, cold sweat running down his body.
The 鈥楩lying Needle in Midair Technique鈥 displayed by Huang Xiaolong just now not only intimidated Ji Zhengyu, Ma Chuxia, and others, it also stirred an unending storm in his heart!
This man from the Bian Family was more shocked than anyone else.
Because only he, who has been studying medicine since childhood, understood how difficult it is to master the 鈥楩lying Needle in Midair Technique鈥?
鈥淥hh, you looked shocked. Does nobody in your Bian Family know this technique?鈥 Huang Xiaolong laughed.
The man from the Bian Family remained silent, implicitly acknowledging the truth.
...
鈥淎lright, enough of this nonsense. You belong to one of the ten great ancient martial families. Your word is your bond. If you鈥檝e uttered something, wouldn鈥檛 you be shameless to take back your spit? 鈥 Huang Xiaolong teased.
鈥淲ait!鈥 The man from the Bian Family frowned. 鈥淵our medical skills are truly impressive, but they aren鈥檛 recognized.鈥
鈥淩ecognized?鈥 Huang Xiaolong looked surprised.
鈥淵es, your supreme medical skills are wasted, residing in a Taoist temple in Dong鈥檃n city,鈥 the man from the Bian Family arrogantly quipped. 鈥淗ere鈥檚 what I propose, I can recommend you to my Bian Family, and you can be a Guest Elder there. Being a Guest Elder in my Bian Family is an enormous blessing which is hard to come by. In return, we can shower you with wealth, power, status, beautiful women鈥ll the things you鈥檝e ever dreamed of.鈥
The man from the Bian Family actually began wooing Huang Xiaolong.
鈥淧ffft, did I hear that right?鈥 Huang Xiaolong almost burst into laughter. 鈥溾€楪ranting鈥 me those things? Are you pitying me? Hahahaha鈥 Forget it. I don鈥檛 want to waste my breath talking to you. Are you going to cripple your own arm or should I do the honor?鈥
潣梆潣凁潟橉潡?co
鈥淧reposterous! Your arrogance is offensive! Just because you have medical skills doesn鈥檛 mean you can be overconfident. It鈥檚 ridiculous!鈥 The man from the Bian Family was livid.
鈥淎lright, I鈥檒l do it.鈥 Huang Xiaolong shook his head in resignation. 鈥淚 never take advantage of anyone. Since I said I would cripple your arm, that鈥檚 exactly what I鈥檒l do鈥︹€
As he spoke, Huang Xiaolong swung his right hand, sending several silver needles piercing through the air like lightning!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The silver needles pierced directly into the right arm of the man from the Bian Family.
鈥淎hh!!!鈥 He felt a stinging sensation in his right arm, as if several venomous bees had stung him.
Huang Xiaolong waved his hand again, and the silver needles flew back to him as if they had eyes.
鈥淲hat鈥hat did you do to me? What did you do to me?鈥 The man from the Bian Family screamed in horror. He found that although his arm was no longer in pain, it was completely numb and stiff, devoid of any feeling. He couldn鈥檛 even lift it!
鈥淣othing much, I just crippled some acupoints in your right arm. In a few days, the nerves and muscles of your right arm will rot and atrophy. After half a month, you will have to undergo an amputation; otherwise, it will spread throughout your body and threaten your life.鈥 Huang Xiaolong looked at him mischievously. 鈥淗owever, you can go back and ask the elders of your Bian Family to cure you. If they can heal you, then it鈥檚 your good fortune.鈥
鈥淚 won鈥檛 let this go! I鈥檒l kill you! I will take your life sooner or later! You mongrel!鈥 The man from the Bian Family cursed vehemently, his homicidal glare was indeed threatening. But he didn鈥檛 dare to linger, cradling his right arm, he fled in a panic and deep resentment.
鈥淟ittle Long, your silver needle technique is remarkable,鈥 Xia Ying exclaimed in admiration.
鈥淚t鈥檚 quite simple, I can teach you when I鈥檓 free,鈥 Huang Xiaolong laughed.
鈥淚 want to learn too!鈥 Ma Chuxia, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang chorused.
Ji Zhengyu decided to stay at the City God Temple, trying his utmost to please Huang Xiaolong.
Ji Zhengyu was buttering up to Huang Xiaolong, partially out of gratitude and also because he began to realize that Huang Xiaolong was not an ordinary person. Deep inside, he was convinced that by being acquainted with Huang Xiaolong, it would bring him immense benefits, with no downside at all!
In the afternoon, Ji Zhengyu said to Huang Xiaolong, 鈥淢aster, if you are free this evening, I would like to take you to a special place.鈥
鈥淥h? Which place?鈥 Huang Xiaolong asked, smiling.
Ji Zhengyu quickly explained, 鈥淢aster, that place is not accessible to ordinary people. Even the privileged ones, if they are not part of that circle, they are not eligible to enter it.鈥
鈥淥h? What circle?鈥 Huang Xiaolong asked, intrigued.
鈥淢aster, it鈥檚 the circle of the Ten Great Ancient Martial Families.鈥 Ji Zhengyu rummaged up a pleasing smile. 鈥淭hat place is founded and controlled by the 鈥榊u Family鈥 from the Ten Great Ancient Martial Families. Apart from the internals of the Ten Great Ancient Martial Families, only the top individuals domestically or internationally, or those who are on good terms with the Ten Great Ancient Martial Families are eligible to enter. Tonight, I would like to bring you, Master, to have fun.鈥
In order to repay and please Huang Xiaolong, Ji Zhengyu decided to introduce Huang Xiaolong into the circle of the Ten Great Ancient Martial Families, visiting a top-notch venue!
鈥淚s it fun?鈥 Huang Xiaolong asked, laughing. In reality, as the son-in-law of the Ying Family, he was already a member of this circle of the Ten Great Ancient Martial Families! However, he was too lazy to mention this identity!
鈥淵es, Master. There, you can enjoy everything you want鈥 These are pleasures, but they鈥檙e unimaginable to outsiders.鈥 Ji Zhengyu said, eagerly.
鈥淥kay, I鈥檝e got nothing better to do anyway.鈥 Huang Xiaolong nodded with a smile.
Ma Chuxia and Xia Ying, intrigued, naturally asked to accompany Huang Xiaolong.
They had dinner in the City God Temple.
The divine meal, coupled with the vegetables and fruits grown in Huang Xiaolong鈥檚 spiritual field, were simply heavenly. They were tonics that rejuvenated the body and were extremely nutritious.
Ji Zhengyu was amazed by the food, realizing that no amount of money could buy such ordinary dishes imbued with spiritual energy.
鈥業t seems that being a follower of the Master is not a bad idea.鈥 Ji Zhengyu harbored a strange thought.
After dinner, everyone drove to the location mentioned by Ji Zhengyu.
The place was located on the border between Dong鈥檃n City and its neighboring city, in a rather secluded suburb.
An enormous building was constructed on a steep slope. At the foot of the mountain, several brawny men were guarding the place. Huang Xiaolong saw that they were actually Semi-Grandmasters.
Also, in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, there were several top-notch luxury cars, most of them limited-edition sports cars, extremely extravagant and high-priced.
Ji Zhengyu made it very clear that being able to come here has nothing to do with how wealthy or high-ranking you are. You must gain the approval of the Ten Great Ancient Martial Families to enter. The threshold of this circle was indeed high!
At the foot of the mountain, Ji Zhengyu showed a card to the guard, who respectfully let them pass.
鈥淢aster, please.鈥 Ji Zhengyu bowed and let Huang Xiaolong walk in front.
They arrived at the main entrance of the building halfway up the mountain.
A small door was slightly ajar. Ji Zhengyu gently pushed it open.
The dazzling lights from inside seeped out, along with the bustling atmosphere. The eager exchange of conversations, laughter revealed that it was a very lively place inside this building located in the wilderness.
