Chapter 432 (1/2)

”What? Won't give your favorite uncle a hug? Have you been practicing your swordsmanship? Maybe if you do, you will be able to be as good at it as your uncle!”

”Y-you…”

Long Shen, the oldest son of the Azure Emperor, looked quite dejected after Zhang Dong shouted out at him. There were other people around this place and also around this young master. They of course knew who the Golden Dragon was so they could not say anything without being talked to.

”What, you are so glad to see me that you are at a loss for words?”

Zhang Dong moved closer while somewhat strutting as if he was in a rush. His nephew recoiled in horror as he clearly wasn't sure what to do. Previously he attempted to embarrass Zhang Dong but it all came to bite him and his siblings in the end. Now this man that his father held in high regard was before him again.

”Don't be so stiff, are you worried about what happened in the past?”

”Well, I…”

”Don't worry about it, we are family are we not?”

Zhang Dong slammed his palm against Long Shen's back which made the young man stagger forward. The people in the back gasped out in shock as they couldn't believe it. They somewhat expected their young master to recoil in anger but instead, he just fixed his clothes without saying much.

”Y-yes, we are family… Did you want something from me, uncle? If not, then I will be on my way…”

”Actually, I do need some directions and I think my cute nephew probably knows his way around this city!”

”C-cute?”

”Yes, now could you show me the way to one of those three elders? I think one of them should be able to guide me further.”

The three old bags that whɨnėd to the Azure Emperor were probably the best bet of him getting to that map chamber.

”One of the three elders? Ah yes…”

To Zhang Dong's surprise, the young master didn't seem that against showing him around. Either he was feeling forced due to his status or perhaps he had become a better person?

'Probably closer to the first one, he isn't that good at hiding his emotions.'

While he wanted to tease the man some more, it would be better to not go overboard. He didn't want to waste any more time than he had to. If he continued to alienate Long Shen they might get into a fight which he would probably win but could leave the Azure Dragon's son unable to continue.

”Ah yes, Elder Laixie should be close by.”

Without further ado, the two left while the young master's company removed themselves. While they could stick around him when someone like the Golden Dragon appeared they couldn't just follow if he didn't tell them that they could.

'Elder Laixie? It's probably that old woman.'

Both Zhang Dong and Long Shen were nascent soul masters, it didn't take long for them to cover a lot of space. Even then it was somewhat hard to maneuver through the large crystal tower that housed hundreds of thousands of people in it. While it was quite gigantic from the outside, it was even larger on the inside.

The elder that he was looking for was in one of the many chambers that had spatial technology on it. The area on the inside of it was many times larger than he had expected, it was somewhat similar to what the spot he met the Azure Dragon was.

The only difference was that it was obviously a fake environment. He could feel that the sky was just an illusion as well as the sun that was shining down on him. The whole place looked like a vacation villa with a forest around it but even though it seemed that it stretched for many kilometers it was about one in diameter.

'I guess something like the Dimensional Regalia isn't easily created even for the Long Clan.'

Keeping in mind that he was going to the residence of one of the top three elders, it meant that they probably were granted access to their clan's most treasured technologies and magics.

”This is where the elder lives, I'll excuse myself then…”

”Ah yes, have a nice… and he is gone…”

Zhang Dong was stuck looking at the spatial magic and integrated formation that he didn't react to that well. During this time that took only a few seconds, Long Shen decided to remove himself from the area. When using his spirit sense he could feel his nephew rocketing away at full speed.

”He must be shy…”

”Hello, is anyone here? Is Elder Laixie here?”

He talked while walking towards the building on the small hill. The people that lived here probably realized that he was here as he felt something scanning his body for clues as he entered. Of course, it wasn't able to as he shrouded his body with a thin layer of protective Qi. The people here knew that someone entered but they didn't know who exactly.

”Who are you? Long Shen already left?”
