Chapter 6160 How Long Should You Hide?
…
Tianlong Valley is located deep within the Cangmang Mountains.
Surrounded by mountains and ancient trees, this place is rich in spiritual energy and is a treasure of this country.
The valley is shrouded in mist and clouds, exuding a enchanting atmosphere. Waterfalls gush, springs flow, birds sing, and flowers bloom, making it seem like paradise on earth.
The Tianlong bloodline has always carefully hidden itself here, multiplying its descendants and gathering strength, for fear of being discovered by the demon dragons and the temple, which could lead to its destruction.
Currently, inside the Dragon Palace.
Long Zhan sat in the main seat, taking care of the clan affairs of the Heavenly Dragon bloodline.
Suddenly, Long Zhan frowned slightly, a glimmer of surprise flashed across his eyes, followed by a joyful expression on his face.
He sensed a familiar aura, an aura that came from the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline, which was rapidly approaching Tianlong Valley.
This aura, warm yet powerful, which carried the majesty of the Dragon Emperor, aroused a strange sense of awe and joy within him.
“Here comes His Majesty! The Dragon Emperor has returned!”
Long Zhan was so excited that he could no longer concentrate on clan affairs.
He immediately got up and rushed out of the hall to greet them.
As soon as Long Zhan stepped out of the Heavenly Dragon Palace, he saw three streaks of light shooting down from the sky and landing directly on the Heavenly Dragon Palace plaza.
As the light faded, the figures of David, Ming Li, and Liu Qianqian were revealed.
When Long Zhan saw David, his eyes were filled with joy and admiration.
He quickly stepped forward, bent his knees, bowed deeply, and spoke respectfully:
“Your Majesty! You have returned! Your Majesty’s subordinate, Long Zhan, respectfully welcomes Your Majesty to Tianlong Valley!”
His voice was filled with joy and excitement that was almost unconcealed.
David nodded, his tone calm:
“Wake up.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Long Zhan replied respectfully, slowly standing up, still keeping his head down, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
He could feel that even though David’s aura was only at the third rank of the Upper Immortal Realm, it carried the inherent majesty of the Dragon Emperor.
The aura of authority amazed him. Even though his cultivation was higher than David’s, he didn’t dare show the slightest bit of disrespect.
David stepped into the Dragon Hall and sat in the guest section.
Ming Li and Liu Qianqian stood behind David.
Even though they had been to Tianlong Valley before, they still looked around with curiosity.
Inside the Dragon Palace, the entire structure is made of golden jade, with lifelike dragon carvings on the pillars and large luminous pearls hanging from the ceiling, emitting a soft light.
The entire hall was majestic and sacred, filled with the aura of the dragon race.
Long Zhan followed behind David, carefully approaching him and bowing as he asked, “Your Highness, is there any important matter that brings Your Highness back to this valley? If Your Highness has any instructions, I will do my best and will not refuse!”
He knew that David must have come for important business.
David looked at him and got straight to the point: “Long Zhan, I need the Dragon Clan’s help with something.”
Long Zhan was surprised, then a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said:
“Your Majesty, please speak! Let alone one matter, even ten or a hundred matters, Your Majesty’s subordinates will definitely handle them! As long as Your Majesty is willing to lead us to revive the Dragon Clan, our Heavenly Dragon bloodline is willing to obey any of Your Majesty’s orders, even at the cost of fire and water!”
In his view, David’s visit this time must be because he has realized something and is willing to lead the Tianlong bloodline to rise again and revive the dragon race.
David shook his head, his tone calm: “We’ll talk about reviving the Dragon Clan later. Right now, I need the Dragon Clan to go to Yunxian City and help me take control of the city and stabilize the situation there.”
Long Zhan was slightly startled, his expression showing confusion: “Your Majesty, Yunxian City is just a mortal city, where various forces are mixed. With your strength, you can easily suppress all the forces in the city and rule Yunxian City by acting alone. Why do you need my Dragon Clan to interfere?”
David said indifferently, “I’m too lazy to deal with those clowns one by one; it’s just a waste of time.”
Besides, I will be leaving for the Holy Land of Light soon and will not have time to stay in the Eternal Cloud City.
The city is a vital hub connecting all the regions of the Fourteenth Heaven; its geographical location is crucial. I need a strong leader to oversee it and stabilize the situation.
He paused for a moment, then looked up at Long Zhan, his gaze sharp: “You are the best choice.”
Long Zhan frowned slightly, somewhat worried: “However, Your Majesty, our Dragon Clan has always been hiding in the Heavenly Dragon Valley. If we rashly show ourselves, we are afraid that the Demon Dragons and the Temple will discover us, and bring destruction to our Heavenly Dragon Clan…”
David looked at him, his tone calm yet containing undeniable authority: “Long Zhan, how many years has your Heavenly Dragon bloodline been hiding in this Heavenly Dragon Valley?”
Long Zhan was silent for a moment, his face showing disappointment and helplessness, then said in a low voice, “I don’t remember anymore.”
“Do not remember?”
David sighed softly, his tone filled with emotion, “You have been hiding here all this time, afraid to come out, afraid to show your faces, walking on thin ice, afraid of being discovered by the demon dragon, being hunted by the temple, afraid of severing the last bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon Clan.”
But have you ever thought how long you can keep hiding like this?
Long Zhan raised his head, looked at David, and a flash of confusion and helplessness flashed across his eyes.
Of course he had thought about that question.
But he had no choice.
The Demon Dragon bloodline is very powerful, and also has the support of the Demon Clan.
This temple controls half of the fourteenth heaven, and is filled with powerful figures.
Although the Tianlong bloodline is a legitimate dragon race, its power has been greatly reduced due to internal strife, making it unable to fight against the Demon Dragons and the Temple.
If they hadn’t hidden themselves, the Tianlong bloodline might have been destroyed long ago.
