Chapter 5732: The Purple Blood Lineage
Several days later, the Linglong Blood Fiend traversed the void, flames of magic soaring, carrying Long Zhantian and his son Long Chen, and appeared in a range of continuous mountains.
These mountains were like swords thrusting into the sky, and the boulders resembled a forest. White clouds drifted around their waists, radiating an ethereal atmosphere. Divine light twinkled amidst the mist, and unknown celestial birds soared through the clouds. Their clear calls echoed in the valleys. It was a secluded paradise, an earthly wonderland.
"Who would've thought that the Purple Blood Lineage would be hidden here," Long Chen remarked.
"When I came here previously, it didn't look like this. Now, the small world they're in has become apparent, though the entrance to the small world has vanished," Long Zhantian observed the scene before him, his excitement barely contained.
The location of the Purple Blood Lineage was exceedingly concealed. Although the Soul Hunt Tribe initially determined the approximate position of the small world, they could never locate its entrance.
Long Zhantian found this place based on clues provided by the Soul Hunt Tribe, and at that time, despite the tribe's thorough search of the area, they repeatedly failed to find the entrance.
Long Zhantian took direct action, wiping out the powerful members of the tribe in this area, deliberately causing a significant disturbance before retreating into hiding.
He waited there for a full month, only to sense spatial fluctuations, signaling the appearance of the Purple Blood Lineage members. This was when Long Zhantian finally confirmed the entrance's location.
However, he didn't directly contact them. Instead, he returned to find Long Chen.
"When I came here before, I saw your grandfather," Long Zhantian said.
"Grandfather? What did he say to you?" Long Chen asked anxiously.
He knew that due to his mother's wilful nature, Luozichuan had been holding a grudge. If they were to meet, his grandfather probably wouldn't treat him kindly.
Shaking his head, Long Zhantian replied, "I didn't show myself. It seems that your grandfather isn't doing well, and the cause seems to be related to me..."
Long Zhantian sighed and finally explained to Long Chen why he hadn't contacted the members of the Purple Blood Lineage that day. Concealed in the shadows, he had seen an elderly man, who turned out to be his father-in-law, Luozichuan.
When Long Chen and Long Zhantian first met, Long Chen had described Luozichuan's appearance to him. Even if Long Chen hadn't mentioned it, Long Zhantian could recognize him from the fluctuations of his blood soul. After all, he was Long Chen's wife's father, and his blood essence fluctuations were remarkably similar to his wife's.
"What kind of trouble is it?" Long Chen's expression turned dark upon hearing this.
Long Zhantian looked at Long Chen and said, "Our purpose for this journey is a family reunion. You need to restrain your temper a bit to prevent your mother from being embarrassed later. Not everything in this world can be resolved through force. I'm telling you all this to prepare you mentally. Our family reunion will surely encounter various obstacles. Given my awkward position, everything will depend on you. You understand."
Long Chen quickly understood. In large families like theirs, with long-standing legacies, they all shared certain traditions. With Long Zhantian's explanation, Long Chen had a clear understanding.
"Dad, rest assured, I'll be careful," Long Chen said.
Long Zhantian nodded and continued, "Alright, using the method I taught you, seal off the other energies and let the power of the Purple Blood Lineage become active."
Long Chen nodded and followed Long Zhantian's instructions. Afterward, all other fluctuations vanished, leaving only a faint purple aura around him.
The technique Long Zhantian taught Long Chen was about control, absolute control. While masking one's aura was a basic skill, controlling it was a higher-level technique. For Long Chen, it was as easy as breathing.
Though Long Chen could previously hide his aura easily, control and concealment were different. Long Zhantian required Long Chen to achieve a level of mastery where he could freely manipulate the quantity and quality of his aura's fluctuations.
Hiding an aura alone would hardly deceive true experts. However, understanding how to manipulate both the quality and quantity of the aura's fluctuations could fool numerous powerful individuals.
Of course, deception wasn't the goal. It was simply a test of whether the method of control was up to standard. If disguises could easily be seen through, that would certainly be deemed a failure.
"Halt!"
Suddenly, a cold shout echoed from ahead. Dozens of figures flew out from among the mountains. However, their expressions drastically changed upon seeing the Linglong Blood Fiend.
These individuals were all young disciples, each at the level of Heaven Saint. They had developed six personal Dragon Veins, showcasing considerable strength. Yet, when they sensed the terrifying pressure emitted by the Linglong Blood Fiend's purple aura, their expressions shifted. One person directly crushed the jade token in his hand.
"Buzz."
Within the mountain range, barriers swiftly rose. Amidst the surging divine power, over a dozen figures emerged. Among them was an individual radiating immense authority—a powerful Purple Crowned God Emperor.
When Long Chen saw this Purple Crowned God Emperor, his heart trembled. Indeed, he was a member of the Purple Blood Lineage. The pressure this person exerted on Long Chen was ten times greater than that of Zuo Yan.
Upon seeing Long Zhantian, Long Chen, and the Linglong Blood Fiend, the Purple Crowned God Emperor was also taken aback. He sensed Long Zhantian's strength, but when he laid his eyes on Long Chen, he was stunned. How could this person possess the aura of the Purple Blood? Moreover, the potency of this purple aura within him was purer than that of most Purple Blood individuals.
Additionally, the man had also sensed the presence of Purple Blood within Long Zhantian, which left him feeling rather perplexed.
Long Zhantian slightly clasped his fists and said, "Honorable warriors of the Purple Blood Lineage, allow me to introduce myself first. I am Long Zhantian, and this is my son, Long Chen."
"Long Chen pays his respects to the seniors!"
Long Chen bowed to the powerful Purple Crowned God Emperor.
Upon hearing Long Zhantian's introduction and seeing the authentic Purple Blood flowing within Long Chen, the Purple Crowned God Emperor's guard dropped somewhat.
"I am Huang Chang, an elder and guardian of the Purple Blood Lineage. If you've come to trace your ancestry, I cannot make decisions on my own. We need to report to our Clan Leader. However, if you don't mind, you can follow me into the clan for a discussion."
While Huang Chang had let down some of his guard, a hint of wariness still lingered in his eyes. After all, both Long Zhantian and the Linglong Blood Fiend had exerted considerable pressure on him. If they entered the clan formation, things would be different; this was a form of testing.
Long Zhantian smiled faintly and said, "No trouble at all."
With those words, Long Zhantian and Long Chen hopped down from the Linglong Blood Fiend. This action garnered a small amount of goodwill from those present. Walking into the clan's territory without disembarking from the beast would have been impolite and arrogant.
After Long Zhantian had dismounted the Linglong Blood Fiend and whispered a few words to it, the Linglong Blood Fiend nodded and then vanished in a flash.
Seeing Long Zhantian dismiss the Linglong Blood Fiend, leaving only the father and son to follow, Huang Chang nodded inwardly. The Purple Blood Lineage disliked contact with outsiders, especially the demon race. However, due to Long Zhantian's immense strength, he couldn't easily refuse the Linglong Blood Fiend.
Long Zhantian's actions were quite comforting, and this decreased the crowd's initial wariness of the father and son.
"Young friend, why don't you have any dragon vein fluctuations on your body?" An elder looked at Long Chen and casually inquired.
Although it appeared to be a casual question, it was a form of probing. Long Chen smiled slightly and responded, "As a disciple of the Purple Blood Lineage, how could I casually condense the heavenly dragon qi? What if the dragon qi I condensed didn't match the standards, wouldn't that be laughed at by others?"
Long Chen's answer caused everyone to chuckle. This young lad was quite interesting.
At the same time, they understood that Long Chen intended to utilize the Purple Blood Lineage's sacred land to condense his dragon veins, which was why he came seeking his roots.
"Buzz."
As the group arrived at the barrier, the entrance to the formation opened. The moment Long Chen stepped through the gate, a surge of purple flames erupted from his body, eliciting amazed gasps from the crowd.
