Chapter 413 (2/2)

Reality was often disappointing though, Zhang Dong didn't fool himself into believing that the people would just accept him. It would probably take many years or something like the expedition he went through with his Zhang Clan to prove himself to them.

After the speech took place and he was inaugurated as the Golden Dragon, he noticed a change in his system. The part that had changed was his faction display. While he was still listed as the leader of the United Element Sect faction, he was now also a member of the Long Clan faction that had a separate tab.

There was not much on that one as besides the Azure Emperor that was next to him on the faction tree, there was no one else. This was probably all due to him not having a favorable relationship with anyone besides his new brother.

His approval rating was also not fully maxed out and only 70%. Before he showed that he was the actual true descendant the approval rating was probably lower. The elders that were here didn't seem to trust him enough to show up on the faction tab, the queen nor her children appeared on it either.

'I guess everyone is just putting up with me due to Long Qing… I wonder if they would accept me as their new Emperor if anything happened to him…'

This was something that he expected people to think. He was a powerful cultivator on the level of the Azure Emperor. From their standpoint, it wouldn't be surprising if he pointed his sword at Long Qing. It was actually a very natural event as all of the cultivators here had progressed in mind.

The spot on top of the empire would be a natural place for them to go for if they were in Zhang Dong's position. Thus everyone that was on the Azure Emperor side were on guard as they didn't know when the Golden Dragon would make his move.

'I bet after they gather more information people from the opposing factions will try to contact me…'

Zhang Dong on the other hand didn't want to have anything to do with the inner struggles of the Long Clan. He just wanted to use their help to get past the coming hurdle. They were something that he needed, if the war was really coming he might even have to move his own sect here.

He didn't want to admit it but this flying fortress was probably better suited for a prolonged defensive. After reading through some craftsmen books that were here it would take some time to get his own sect up into the air along with the whole city. The problem as always was a proper power source which this flying city apparently had. It was something hidden away quite well as even with his senses he could not tell where it was.

”That was an interesting speech my brother, I see that you really wish to get to this Wang Long.”

”Yes, I would sleep much better if he vanished from these lands.”

”Come, this is not the time for such matters, we need to feast!”

”Well… about that…”

Zhang Dong stopped before his new brother. Long Qing was clearly not taking things as seriously as he was. Now that he had done what he came here for there was nothing keeping him here. His family was waiting for him at home as well, his disciple was still in the ship that they left behind.

”Is there something bothering you brother?”

”I have to return to my own family, I have already overstayed my welcome but don't worry we shall meet again, for now though… I'll have to bid you all farewell.”

With a quick clasp to his fist and a bow he just vanished. Golden dribblers of lights were left behind as he left the people here quite shocked.

”Instant teleportation?”

”H-how? It shouldn't be possible without the proper knowledge of the formation…”

They were all shocked as the grand formation that was in the city didn't allow anyone to teleport in or out. If they attempted they would be struck down by the defensive features but this Golden Dragon apparently was able to get out as they could not feel his presence anywhere else.

”Ha Ha! My brother is full of mysteries of his own, don't worry elders, we should trust him!”

The Azure Emperor just started laughing while everyone else was left with question marks above their heads.
