Chapter 59: The Dragon Family

  More than 8,000 miles away from Wulei Mountain, under the name of the Cold Frost Dynasty, a mountain villa with an area of nearly 10,000 acres stands quietly among the mountains.

  This is the Long family.

  In the world of sects, few people know about the Long Family. However, in the Cold Frost Dynasty, many people know about the Long Family.

  The dragon family's building is like an anthill, with tens of thousands of servants and followers. Every month, they consume tens of millions of dan of white rice. The clothing and expenses of the maids and servants are more luxurious than those of a wealthy official.

  In the Frost Dynasty, the area where the Long family was located had long been designated as a forbidden zone by the imperial court. Merchants and travelers passing through had to take a detour. Even when the emperor passed through, he would stop his dragon carriage and walk around it.

  It can be seen how powerful the Long family is.

  In the secular world, it is only known that the Long Family is related to the imperial family, and nothing else is known. In the religious circles, it is also believed that the Long Family is just a powerful secular force with many branches and leaves, but few people know that the Long Family is actually a secretly cultivating Qi family with countless masters within the family.

  At this moment, in a main hall of the Long family, Long Dani was kneeling on the ground, motionless.

  Danni has seen her sister.

  Long Dani lowered her head and didn't even dare to raise her eyes.

  In front of her was a divine case. The divine case enshrined not the Bodhisattva, but a portrait of an absolutely beautiful woman as lovely as a heavenly fairy. The woman in the painting had fragrant skin and jade-like complexion, stunningly beautiful, simply like a celestial being from heaven.

  However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the woman in the painting bears a three-point resemblance to Long Dani. Unlike Long Dani, however, the woman in the painting is not only stunningly beautiful but also has piercing eyes that seem to see right through one's heart.

  "I already know about the Wu Lei faction."

  A cold, proud voice sounded in the room, surprisingly coming from the ink painting on the desk. And when speaking, the woman in the painting seemed to come alive, staring at Long Dani on the ground.

  Such a bizarre phenomenon, it's beyond ordinary people's common sense. However, Long Dani seemed to have expected it and wasn't surprised at all.

  "Gathering the ancient sacred emperor's ultimate treasure has completely failed!......"

  The woman in the painting said nothing more, but simply stared coldly at Long Dani.

  The room was silent, Long Dani's face turned pale, and her heart sank. She had gone to the Liet Yang Sect, transformed into the Holy Maiden of Liet Yang, with the main purpose of searching for the ancient Saint Emperor's shocking and unparalleled skills, but unexpectedly, she failed.

  The hierarchy in the family is strict, and the punishment for failing a task is even more severe.

  Long Dani let out a sigh in her heart, closed her beautiful eyes, and had already prepared herself to accept the punishment.

  But unexpectedly, the woman in the ink painting suddenly spoke again. A faint and ethereal voice floated down from the empty space above the room:

  "Reward for good deeds, punishment for wrongdoings. This is the family's rule, without rules there would be no harmony, so whoever makes a mistake in the family must be severely punished! However, your task is not to find the ancient sacred art of the Supreme Emperor, but to find Lin Ruyun. The only one who knows her whereabouts is Lin Xiong of the Five Thunder Sect, who has already died. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruyun also doesn't know the location of Princess Yang's treasure, this matter had errors from the very beginning. It's not your fault."

  Long Dani was shocked and suddenly opened her eyes with an incredulous face. She had thought it impossible to escape punishment, but unexpectedly, she managed to narrowly escape death.

  "Your task was just to find Lin Ruyun. Now that Lin Ruyun has been found, the mission is naturally complete. What happens next doesn't concern you. Since you've made a contribution, you should be rewarded. This Qi Xian Dan is your reward."

  As soon as the sound fell, a long howl suddenly echoed in the void.

  In the painting, a ink Dan Ting white crane suddenly broke out of the paper and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, it grew to four feet long. The ink Dan Ting crane landed in front of Long Dani, its long beak open, revealing a golden light shining dan medicine.

  This pellet of medicine has an ethereal aura, as soon as it appears, the whole room is filled with fragrance.

  "After taking this Qi Xian Dan, you can reach the Refining Qi Realm from your current realm. I have already made arrangements in the Shenyue Sect. Set off immediately and come to the Shenyue Sect to assist me."

  As the woman's voice in the painting sounded, the red-crowned white crane lowered its long beak, and the grain of "qi xian dan" with a wisp of immortal energy immediately fell into Long Dani's palm.

  The red-crowned white crane spat out the dan medicine, immediately dissolving like snow and turning into a drop of thick ink that fell to the ground.

  "Thank you, sister!"

  Long Dani was overjoyed.

  She was already satisfied with being able to escape punishment, but unexpectedly, she even got rewarded with "Qixiandan".

  This elixir is a rare treasure refined by the strong practitioners of the Shenyue Sect who have cultivated their Qi to four layers or above. Taking just one pill can transform an ordinary person, allowing them to transcend to the realm of Qi refinement in one step.

  In the Long family, it was something that even the ancestors of the family had coveted but could not get. Unexpectedly, it was bestowed upon himself.

  What's more important is that "Sister" surprisingly opened her golden mouth and said she would take her into the Xian Dao Sect, Shen Xiao Sect.

  This command came down, and even the ancestors of the family did not dare to violate it. From then on, she was truly one step away from heaven, becoming a superior being, noble beyond words.

  "Sister, what about that Wu Lei Pai?"

  Long Dani suddenly asked as if possessed by a ghost. After asking, she immediately became honest and fearful, deeply regretful.

  As expected, the room temperature suddenly dropped, and Long Dani felt a pair of sharp eyes falling on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

  But that sharp gaze soon softened:

  "Lieyang Sect was originally a vassal sect of our family, but it was destroyed by the Five Thunder Sect. If this sect is not suppressed, others will look down on us in the future. However, soon all Xian Dao sects will lift their restrictions and start recruiting disciples. At the same time, all the Holy Sons of the sects will try to win people's hearts and cultivate their own power. I won't be careless either. Let's put aside the Five Thunder Sect for now. You should hurry up and leave, take the Qi Xian Dan, and then participate in the Shen Xiao Sect's assessment together."

  As soon as the sound fell, the room was silent and there was no sound at all.

  On the divine case, the heavenly fairy maiden was motionless, her gaze no longer as sharp as before.

  Long Dani knelt for a while, waiting until she was sure that there was only one person in the room before daring to stand up.

  The strong in the Xian Dao possess all sorts of inconceivable divine abilities. Transferring voices and elixirs thousands of miles away is just a minor technique, there are many other powers that ordinary people cannot imagine.

  "It must be something I don't know about that happened, otherwise my sister wouldn't have made excuses for me."

  Long Dani secretly suspected in her heart.

  She was kneeling earlier, but now standing up, she has regained her usual liveliness and vitality as the Saintess of Radiant Sun.

  The means of the Xian Dao are indeed too profound and unpredictable. Any warrior, no matter how strong, is like an ant in front of a cultivator who has reached the Refining Qi realm. Long Dan Ni was no exception.

  Her final question seemed careless, but was actually a probe.

  The news of Wu Lei's occupation of Lieyang Mountain has reached the Long family. Everyone knows that she will likely face a severe punishment.

  After all, if she didn't obtain the Sacred Emperor's ultimate technique, and Lieyang Sect was destroyed by the Five Thunder Pledge, her actions on Lieyang Mountain would be meaningless. At least, there wouldn't even be a question of reward.

  "Big sister" didn't mention this at all, which made Long Dani even more certain that something big must have happened to herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't be spared.

  Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and Long Dani was shocked:

  "Could it be...the one above..."

  For a moment, his head hung low, unable to tell whether it was sorrow or joy.

  …………

  Words cut both ways.

  Just as the Long family was sending off Long Dani to the Shenyue Sect with great fanfare, a horse carriage was making its way over mountains and ridges, also heading towards the Shenyue Mountains.

  "Beyond this mountain pass is the territory of the Sacred Tree Empire. Ahead lies Tanggu City."

  Zhao Ren shouted from outside.

  "Let's find an inn in Tonggu City to stay for now."

  Lin Xidao.

  The mountain gates of the Xian Dao sect are all located in remote and sparsely populated areas. Lin Xi had checked according to "Xian Dao Grand World". Tang Gu Cheng is the city closest to the Shenyue Mountains.

  After crossing the mountain pass, entering Tonggu City, people flowed in and out, bustling with activity.

  As soon as Lin Xigang entered, he immediately felt a different place.

  "Steel Bone Era!"

  Lin Xi was shocked. The city guards of Tanggu City were clad in bright armor and had actually achieved the Iron Bone stage!

  Even in the sects, there are not many disciples who have achieved iron bone level cultivation.

  Lin Xi's "Xian Dao Da Shi Jie" mentions the Sacred Tree Empire in the central continent. It is said that the Sacred Tree Empire is one of the four strongest empires under heaven.

  On the mainland, only those who claim to have preserved the ancient imperial dynasty's strong martial spirit and possess the aura of an ancient imperial dynasty can be called an imperial dynasty. All others are merely kingdoms. For example, the Great Liang Kingdom, the Hansheng Kingdom.

  In "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation", the Sacred Tree Empire is one of the four remaining imperial families that inherited the legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor.

  Lin Xi had read "The Great World of Xian Dao" and knew that this imperial dynasty was very powerful, but when he really saw it, he was still greatly shocked.

  "First find a place to stay, and try not to provoke these soldiers."

  Lin Xi furrowed his brow and said.

  A soldier guarding the city walls was naturally beneath Lin Xi's notice. But to provoke a confrontation with the entire imperial court over just one soldier would be foolish.

  Offend a dynasty, troubles will come one after another. Of course, if troubles cling to him, Lin Xi won't be afraid either.

  The horse carriage rattled and passed through the city gate, smoothly stopping at an inn.
