Chapter 475 Yinglong (1/2)

As Shen Lian entered Diqiu, something strange happened. A huge dragon could be spotted at the north of Diqiu, the location of the capital city. That dragon revealed its head and body from the clouds and it was as tall and big as a hill.

The dragon had a pair of beautiful shiny wings that wielded the clouds away as it gently flapped its wings.

Its big broad eyes lasered out rays of lights which scanned the entirety of Diqiu. Its presence was so intimidating that the two Mammoths creeped on the ground and trembled.

Shen Lian looked out the window and saw it crystal clear. This huge dragon was the legendary Yinglong.

Yinglong was a type of winged dragon and records has it that 'a five hundred year old dragon is Jiaolong while a thousand year old dragon is Yinglong'. Of course that was not true as Yinglong was not achievable with a thousand years of cultivation. Besides, compared to the Jiaolong, Yinglong was a lot more powerful and Shen Lian regarded it as the same level as his current level.

Yinglong scanned the entire Diqiu but did not pick up on anything. It then retracted its body and submit back to the capital city.

The traders were discussing about Yinglong, saying that it was the guardian beast of the city and no one knew how long had this Yinglong lived. They claimed that the Yinglong was as strong as Emperor Xia and even the royalties would bow down to Yinglong when they see it.

But today, something odd seemed to have triggered it.

Shen Lian knew that regardless of how hard he tried to slow his breath down, Yinglong would still be able to sense the invasion of an overwhelming existence and that was why it came out.

There was nothing strange about it. Even the most ordinary person would be alarmed if someone invaded their personal space.

Shen Lian could isolate his breath but he could not block Yinglong's instinct.

Fortunately he was not in the mood to get into unnecessary trouble and Yinglong was not able to sense him.

Perhaps it was because Yinglong did not detect anything odd that Da Xia did not assign any people to guard the place. This was also the charisma of Emperor Xia. Regardless of who you were, he would never be afraid of you.

This was Diqiu, the leaders of the twelfth aristocratic family were present here and every one of them were exceptionally talented.

However, Shen Lian felt that the city was being scanned by divine thoughts throughout time. He was surprised that the owner of the divine thoughts had a very strong sense of breath but the divine thoughts were not as strong. It was a lot weaker than of an immortal Zhenren.

A genuinely wise cultivator would be more complete as they progressed with their cultivation. Regardless of Daoism or Buddhism, it would be natural to also cultivate the life as they further their cultivation. Even if there were distinction between the two, the gap should not be too big.

Judging from the divine thoughts, the owner of the breath could be considered weak.

A trader came to Shen Lian and said, ”Little prince of Xi Liang Kingdom, if you want to hand in your letter of credence, you would need to go to the Manor of the Prefect Grand Usher Dongcheng. The Prefect Grand Usher is in charge of foreign affairs. I've said this before but you only brought a letter of credence. It would be difficult for you to enter if you did not offer any tribute to them.”

Shen Liam smiled, ”Of course I have prepared an article of tribute. Thank you for your reminder.”

The trader noticed that Shen Lian came empty handed and shook his head. If it was not for Chen Qing who paid him a hefty sum of money, he would not have bothered to look out for Shen Lian. After all, Chen Qing once learned from Zu Jia. Although she was not an official disciple, they still enjoyed a good relationship.

Zu Jia was the royalty of Yin Shang. He was the nephew of Tianyi and had onced hid among the entourage of traders to travel the world.
