Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 1204 - 1195: Courting Death

Yang Xiao saw there were no stone tablets in front of Bing’er’s grandfather and Caixia’s graves, glanced around, flew to the top of a nearby mountain peak, drew the Bronze Divine Sword, and directly sliced two two-meter-high, one-meter-wide, half-meter-thick stone slabs from the stone wall.

Yang Xiao held the two stone slabs, flew down from the mountain, and directly inserted them in front of the two graves. Then, using his finger as a pen, he carved the names of grandfather and Caixia directly on the slabs.

"The Tomb of Caixia!"

"The Tomb of Grandpa Zhan!"

The signature below is "Bing’er."

Yang Xiao did not sign his own name to avoid causing any trouble for two deceased people, especially since he is currently in a hostile relationship with the Great Dragon Empire.

However, Bing’er is different; no one knows Bing’er, nor does anyone care about Bing’er or the wilderness graves of Bing’er’s two relatives.

Bing’er looked at the two stone tablets, reached out to touch them, and tears welled up again.

Yang Xiao comforted,

"Bing’er, with these two stone tablets, we’ll be able to find their graves more conveniently in the future and won’t lose them among the weeds and be unable to recognize them."

Yang Xiao and Bing’er knelt before the stone tablets, bowed to grandfather and Caixia, and then got up and left.

Gu Hai took the two for a stroll near the impoverished walking street, while eating something and Bing’er also wanted to see if she could find a few familiar neighborhood acquaintances.

...

A total of sixty-eight countries came to Dragon City to participate in the Witch Star International Go Exchange Tournament. Apart from the Great Dragon Empire, Youming Empire, and Flying Leopard Empire, the rest are all small countries.

According to the rules, each country can send only three people, regardless of size, and they will enter an elimination round, killing one after another into the final general competition.

Those who place in the top three in the final can play three games with the president of the Royal Chess Academy, Chen Rong, at any time within a year as they choose.

Additionally, President Chen Rong will publicly comment on the Go battle in the final competition for all participating players and guests to learn from.

Besides, President Chen Rong will hold three Go skill-enhancement lectures at the academy and answer some questions from the students.

In other words, everyone who came to the Great Dragon Empire to participate in the Go tournament only had one purpose: to get pointers from the first Go Grandmaster Chen Rong.

Even listening to the lectures is quite beneficial.

...

After various empires checked into hotels, they unified the participant list and reported it to the staff arranged by the Great Dragon Empire at the hotel.

Once the staff received all the registration materials, they arranged them uniformly and transferred them to Long Aotian and Long Jing for review.

At this moment, Long Aotian and Long Jing were in the room going through the registration materials.

The list of participants from the Youming Empire and Flying Leopard Empire was naturally the object of Long Aotian’s priority attention. The staff also placed the information of these two countries at the front.

Long Aotian flipped open the material from Flying Leopard Empire, took one look, his head buzzing, a surge of anger rising in his chest. He slammed the table, exclaiming:

"Hmph, truly outrageous, this Yang Xiao actually dares to come to Dragon City to participate in the Go Exchange Tournament. Is he insulting our Great Dragon Empire, thinking we can’t do anything to him?"

Long Jing, surprised internally, took the Flying Leopard Empire material from Long Aotian’s hand, and the first she saw was Yang Xiao’s information.

"Yang Xiao, Flying Leopard Empire State Preceptor?"

The matter of Yang Xiao being appointed as State Preceptor of the Flying Leopard Empire was only known to a small circle within the Flying Leopard Empire and was not widely publicized externally.

Back then, Flying Leopard Emperor appointed Yang Xiao as State Preceptor upon the recommendation of Eldest Prince Wanyan He to attract Yang Xiao and form a solid alliance.

"When did Yang Xiao become the State Preceptor of the Flying Leopard Empire?"

"Hmph, I don’t care about whatever State Preceptor he is, Yang Xiao killed Long Kui and War God, he’s an enemy of our Great Dragon Empire, now since he’s entered Dragon City, I’ll send someone to kill him now."

Eldest Prince Long Aotian said angrily.

Long Jing glanced at Long Aotian and said calmly,

"Brother, everything has its rules. Now it’s the Witch Star Go Exchange Tournament, and all countries, whether hostile or not, as long as they come to participate in the Go Exchange Tournament, no one shall seek revenge or assassinate each other. This rule must not be broken."

"I don’t care about any rules, I’m going to avenge myself, kill Yang Xiao, and vent my anger!"

Long Aotian roared.

From Purple Origin Star onward, Long Aotian suffered humiliation from Yang Xiao, especially when he had to beg Yang Xiao to dispatch troops to attack the Allies of Youming Empire and Flying Leopard Empire; Long Aotian kneeled in Guangfu City’s square, apologizing to Barbarian King and others, pleading for forgiveness.

The scene of enduring humiliation and pleading compromise is something Long Aotian will never forget, he vowed internally then, when he has the chance, he will torture Yang Xiao, kill Yang Xiao, and wash away the shame.

This is precisely why Long Aotian pursued Yang Xiao after returning to Witch Star.

Only, he never anticipated that Yang Xiao could evade his pursuit.

And today, Yang Xiao has grown stronger and poses a threat to the security of the Great Dragon Empire.

Yang Xiao now behaves as if nothing is wrong, swaggering into Dragon City to participate in the Go Exchange Tournament, isn’t this a slap in Long Aotian’s face? How could he bear it?

Long Jing looked at Long Aotian and coldly said,

"Brother, our Great Dragon Empire has been through tumultuous times recently, now with difficulty we have a peaceful environment. Father is trying to take this opportunity to tentatively make peace with Flying Leopard Empire and Youming Empire, you can’t act rashly and ruin Father’s plans.

Even if you want to take revenge on Yang Xiao, you must report to his majesty, and seek his majesty’s permission before acting, right?"

Long Aotian was taken aback, grudgingly said,

"I’ll go find Father now."

Finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.

Long Jing glanced at Long Aotian’s departing figure, then lowered her head to look at Yang Xiao’s registration information in her hand, lost in thought.

...

Long Aotian hurriedly ran into the Royal Palace to find his father.

"Father, our enemy Yang Xiao is now in Dragon City, please allow me to send someone to kill him!"

Emperor of Great Dragon was shocked inside,

"Oh? This Yang Xiao is so bold as to still dare come to Dragon City?"

Long Aotian dared not completely hide Yang Xiao’s information, so he said,

"Yang Xiao came under the identity of the Flying Leopard Empire’s State Preceptor to participate in the Go Exchange Tournament."

"Participating in the Go Exchange Tournament?"

Emperor of Great Dragon pondered for a moment, calmly said,

"Aotian, since he came under the identity of the State Preceptor from the Flying Leopard Empire, we can’t directly attack him."

"Father, are we just going to let him go like this? Allow him to swagger in and out of Dragon City? This is obviously a slap in our face, others will laugh at us."

"Heh, since he dares come, we will certainly treat him well. Isn’t he here for the Go Exchange Tournament? You arrange for him to draw lots in the first round, let him play against our Chess Institute’s vice-chairman Long Hang, let Long Hang directly use spiritual power to kill him,

Hmph, he came looking for death, so we will make it happen."

Long Aotian listened, excitedly said,

"Great! Father, you are wise, using the Go tournament, openly using spiritual power to kill Yang Xiao, making him accept it genuinely, and leaving Flying Leopard Empire and other empires with no excuses for doubt,

I’ve heard Uncle Long Hang has broken through to the Through Darkness Realm in the Go Realm, with him doing it, killing Yang Xiao is definitely no problem."
