Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Hostage! Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Hostage! After a long time, hearing Ying Aoshan’s voice once again, Huang Xiaolong felt a strong surge of longing in his chest. Scenes of the past affectionate moments spent with Ying Aoshan emerged in his mind like a fast-moving slideshow.

“Aoshan my wife, I was just preparing to return to the Wolong Villa in Binhai, but since you’re out of your retreat, I’ll come to find you instead. Tell me your address. I’ll be by your side very soon,” Huang Xiaolong said hastily.

“Giggles~~ Little Long, you must have missed me a lot, right? Actually, I was planning to give you a surprise. But I just couldn’t help myself and had to call you ahead of time~~~ I’m in Binhai. It’s not just me, your disciple Lin Zicong, your maid Mengyao, my father, and my brother Aotian~~~ We’ve all come to Binhai~~ Giggles~~ Little Long, how big of a surprise is this?” Ying Aoshan’s laughter sounded like silver bells, filled with tenderness and delight.

Her voice was so filled with affection, it made Huang Xiaolong itch with eagerness, wishing he could sprout wings and fly straight to Binhai City to embrace Ying Aoshan and shower her with kisses.

“Heh~ Everyone has gone to Binhai? That really is a huge surprise,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Alright then, Aoshan my wife, you all head to the Wolong Villa first. I’ll come and join you very soon!”

After chatting on the phone with Ying Aoshan for a while, Huang Xiaolong reluctantly ended the call.

“Let’s go, back to Wolong Villa,” Huang Xiaolong called out to the three little monsters.

“Young Master, was that your wife on the phone just now?” Qingqing asked with a face full of curious gossip. “Is she pretty?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Which one of my wives isn’t pretty?” Huang Xiaolong retorted with a laugh. “Enough, no more babbling. I’m summoning my sword, we’re heading straight back to Binhai, to the Wolong Villa! Once we’re back at the Wolong Villa, aside from reuniting with my wife Aoshan, I still have some matters to arrange.”

…

Binhai City.

On the road to the Wolong Villa.

A group of spirited people with an air of vigour and vitality were excitedly making their way towards the Wolong Villa.

These individuals moved with such agility and ease, it seemed as if they were flying over grass without touching the ground!

If any martial arts masters witnessed this group, they would be dumbfounded!

Because… all of these people were great grandmasters of ancient martial arts!

Leading them was the present Clan Leader of the Ying Family, and Huang Xiaolong’s father-in-law, Ying Xiao!

Following Ying Xiao was a strikingly beautiful girl, capable of toppling kingdoms with her charm. At the moment, her face bore a deep, unabashed longing and a blush of excitement, her eyes as soft and radiant as water, stunning beyond words.

This girl was Huang Xiaolong’s wife–Ying Aoshan!

Beside Ying Aoshan was a young girl whose beauty was no less than that of Ying Aoshan–Gui Mengyao restructured by the lush divine trees of the Kunlun secret realm. She was Huang Xiaolong’s personal maid.

Additionally, there were Huang Xiaolong’s disciple Lin Zicong, the Ying Family prodigy Ying Aotian, and many other outstanding family members.

“Miss Aoshan, you must be very happy to about to see the Young Master, right?” Mengyao said with a certain smile to Ying Aoshan.

Ying Aoshan didn’t deny it and nodded vigorously. “Of course, I’m happy~~ During the days of seclusion in the ancestral grounds, it felt like each day was a year, and every moment was spent missing Little Long~~”
“Cough cough~ Sister Aoshan, moderation, moderation,” Ying Aotian coughed dryly.

The rest of the Ying Family members couldn’t help but chuckle.

…

At the same time!

Outside of the Wolong Villa!

The Wolong Villa at this time had a sealed True Dragon beneath it!

This was tantamount to building the Wolong Villa right on top of a dragon vein!

It was quite simply a supremely treasured land!

Streams of dragon-shaped energy, invisible to the naked eye of mortals, continuously roared and swirled around Wolong Villa.

Those living in Wolong Villa were constantly nourished by the dragon veins, which was akin to granting them longevity and forever peace; impurities in their bodies were ceaselessly expelled, and their roots and thoughts became exceedingly pure.

Besides the dragon veins, within Wolong Villa, many Formations were set up that integrated offense and defense, making it as impregnable as a fortress. Not to mention anything else, even if an army were to attack Wolong Villa, they would definitely fail to break through!

At that moment, outside Wolong Villa, suspended in the sky, were two youths.

One of them was a youth in white, with a Longsword on his back, enshrouded in lightning that seemed to twine around him; his eyes were piercingly sharp, and from every pore of his body Sword Qi radiated, as if he was a Sword Immortal from a painting!

The other youth, dressed in blue garments, was actually riding on a majestic and unmatched crane; with a simple flap of its wings, the crane could stir up whistling whirlwinds.

These two were disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect!

This time, three experts from the Shushan Sword Sect, including “Shangguan Lin”, a middle-aged scholar-like figure, went to Kunlun to celebrate Master Zhang’s birthday. After leaving Kunlun, Shangguan Lin took his newly accepted disciples and various servants and laborers back overseas.

Only these two youths were left to head to Wolong Villa to investigate “Ling Xiaopeng’s” death.

“Inconceivable, simply inconceivable! I even suspect that I’m dreaming,” said the youth in blue on the crane, his eyes fixed on Wolong Villa as he murmured dreamily. “Dragon veins! To think that beneath Wolong Villa lies an extremely complete dragon vein! Such a blessed land is exceedingly rare even overseas. The master of Wolong Villa is truly magnificent; no ordinary person could manage this! Little Junior Brother’s death at the hands of such a person now seems truly justified!”

“Damn it!!!!” The youth in white’s eyes blazed with a sharp light, and a surge of Sword Qi within him rose like a soaring dragon. In his arrogant gaze was also an undeniable greed; his divine consciousness swept over Wolong Villa in one quick motion. “How infuriating! A bunch of mortals! Merely some who have cultivated ancient martial arts–who are they to enjoy the nourishment of dragon veins? I’m so infuriated!”

Judging by the posture of the youth in white, it seemed as though he wished he could rush into Wolong Villa and slaughter everyone there, then occupy the villa for himself for a good three to five years.

“Brother, don’t act rashly. Wolong Villa is shielded by the dragon veins and is guarded by a net of Heaven and Earth Formations. With our cultivation level, attempting to force our way in could result in injury from the dragon energy,” the youth in blue urgently cautioned. “However, now that we’ve discovered such a treasure, our Shushan Sect cannot miss the opportunity to occupy it!”

The youth in blue showed a face full of covetousness, licking his lips. “Be it rare treasures or blessed lands, they belong to the deserving! This land of dragon veins, Wolong Villa, must be seized by our Shushan Sword Sect! But, we need to return to our sect and report to the Sect Master before we can send a few elders to refine and subjugate this land of dragon veins!”

Pausing for a moment, the youth in blue furrowed his brows. “I wonder if the master of Wolong Villa has any connection to that arrogant youth on Kunlun who destroyed Master Zhang’s spiritual avatar…”

At this, both the youth in white and the youth in blue showed a hint of apprehension in their eyes.

They had to be wary of Huang Xiaolong.

“However, I’ve observed with my divine consciousness that Wolong Villa houses mere commoners, pitifully weak, like a nest of ants. If it wasn’t for the protection of the dragon veins, I would have already slain every person there with one sword thrust,” said the youth in white venomously. “It seems that the master of Wolong Villa is not currently in the villa.”

Just then!

“Hm? A group of people is approaching Wolong Villa!” The youth in white’s spirit suddenly sharpened, and his gaze shot out like lightning, happening to look in the direction of Ying Aoshan and her group! His divine consciousness even quickly scanned over Ying Aoshan, Mengyao, Ying Xiao, and others, thoroughly grasping their situations as if seeing them clearly in the palm of his hand.

“Oh? Someone’s coming? To enter Wolong Villa?” observed the youth in blue as he extended his divine consciousness. “They’re all cultivators of ancient martial arts! It seems they must have a significant connection with the master of Wolong Villa!”

Having said that, the two disciples from the Shushan Sect quickly exchanged glances.

A ruthless and fierce light emerged in their eyes.

“Good! I never expected a group of hostages to come knocking on our door! Let’s capture this group to threaten the master of Wolong Villa, forcing him to submit and let us have our way!” exclaimed the youth in white eagerly.

“Hahaha~~~ At the very least, we need to make him hand over Wolong Villa willingly, and then, we can talk about the grudge for killing our Little Junior Brother!” the youth in blue sneered as well.

…

As Ying Aoshan and the others walked, they suddenly felt an inexplicable chilling sensation.

“Wait~~” Mengyao suddenly stopped.” It feels like we’re being spied on by something~~ A very strong presence…”

Boom~~~!!!!

Suddenly, the heavens spun and the earth turned, and two terrifying pressures covered them all at once!
