That figure was a tall man in an azure robe.

Without saying a thing, that man raised his hand and suddenly slapped the beam of light that was approaching, slapping it right into the ground.

​​

The beam of light immediately shattered as soon as it touched the ground, being shattered by some foreign energy that stopped it from being reabsorbed back into the array.

After this, the tall man in the azure robe looked around the array as if he was looking for something.

The azure dragon that had been so stunned that it was unable to do a thing finally noticed the man in the azure robe and shouted, "Daddy, you're finally here!"

Then the azure dragon wrapped up around the arm of the man in the azure robe before saying, "Daddy, they're all bullying me! You have to get revenge for this treasure!"

The way the azure dragon spoke, it sounded like a naughty kid running to their parents after being caught, but this was no joke. The aura that the man in the azure robe gave off truly was dangerous.

The man in the azure robe said, "Un." Then he patted the azure dragon who had taken a smaller form now to look more pitiful on the head before turning to look at Lin Fan's group.

He completely ignored the array that was around him and directly focused his attention on Lin Fan's group.

The moment his gaze fell onto them, Lin Fan felt an aura that he had never felt before, but he could tell that this definitely wasn't normal.

This aura was even stronger compared to the aura of the Child Soul Realm elder from the Liao Family who had come down with Liao Ping. If Lin Fan had to guess, this aura should be the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm Expert or even a True Soul Realm Expert who was at the peak of the upper realm.

Why would this kind of expert suddenly appear here in the Kunlun Mountains.

However, even with the appearance of this expert, Lin Fan didn't run.

That was because he knew that in a pinch, there was still Angela and Momonga who could save him.

Rather, he felt a bit of excitement at trying to fight this expert even though he knew that he wouldn't win.

As for the man in the azure robes, he could naturally feel the strange feeling coming from Angela and Momonga, so he knew that this wouldn't be a simple case.

But before either side could make a move, there was a scale that suddenly came out of Lin Fan's Storage Ring and flew into the air as a voice said, "Xiao Ao, is that you?"

When that voice cut through the air, Lin Fan just revealed a surprised look since he never expected this person to come out. As for the man in the azure robe, he immediately revealed a look of shock and disbelief, standing there for a long time in a daze.

Finally the man in the azure robe said, "Uncle Hong, is that you?"

That was right, the scale that had suddenly floated into the air was the scale that contained the soul of Hong Long, the fifth elder of the Dragon Race.

After Hong Long's soul had been stored in Xiao Feng's scale, it had fallen into a slumber to adjust to its new housing. Even after it awoke from that slumber, Hong Long's soul had been slowly recovering its power from its peak.

Right now, Hong Long had only just reached the Fragmented Soul Realm, which was considered quite fast, but that was still too weak to help Lin Fan. That was why Hong Long hadn't been let out this entire time, until Hong Long himself suddenly decided to come out.

The only reason Hong Long's cultivation had recovered this quickly was because Xiao Feng was of the true dragon bloodline, which meant that the power contained within the scale alone was very useful in helping Hong Long recover from his wounds.

There was a flash of red light before there was a figure that suddenly appeared around the scale that had floated out.

Instead of taking dragon form like when Lin Fan first met him, this time Hong Long appeared in the form of a large man with fire red hair in a fire red robe. Even though he was an elder of the Dragon Race, this man looked like he was only in his mid thirties.

But when the man in the azure robe saw this figure, there were tears in his eyes before he quickly came forward to kneel in front of Hong Long.

"The Qing Clan's Qing Ao greets Hong Long, chief of the Red Dragons and fifth elder of the Dragon Race." The man in the azure robe said in a solemn voice as he fell to one knee in the air and cupped his hands towards Hong Long.

The little azure dragon that was wrapped around the man in the azure robe's arm suddenly looked up at the man in the azure robe with a shocked look before asking in a confused voice, "Daddy, what are you doing? They are the people who bullied this treasure, why are you kneeling to them?"

The man in the azure robe smacked the little azure dragon on the head and said, "Mind your manners, don't make me punish you later."

The little azure dragon looked up with an aggrieved look before bursting out into tears, "Daddy doesn't love me anymore!"

The man in the azure robes revealed a bitter smile when he saw this, but he couldn't bear to actually do anything. In truth, this was his first child, so he spoiled them quite a bit. He had never been able to do anything to them and had actually spoiled them rotten, which was why this little azure dragon had this kind of personality.

Hong Long looked at the crying little azure dragon before giving a loud laugh, "Ha, ha, ha, I never expected that you would be such a doting parent, especially with how much you hated kids in the past." After saying this, he stopped laughing as a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes and he continued, "It seems like a long time really has passed. Even you kids are growing up and having kids now."

The man in the azure robe quickly asked, "Uncle Hong, where have you been this entire time? My father and the Dragon King have been looking everywhere for you. We knew you weren't dead yet because your soul jade hadn't shattered, but we couldn't find you after all this time."

Hong Long just gave a sigh and said, "It's a long story and one that we can talk about later. For now, I need to talk to you about something important."

The man in the azure robe immediately nodded and said, "Uncle, please."

Hong Long pointed in the direction of Xiao Feng and asked, "What do you think about that little dragon over there?"

The man in the azure robes looked over in Xiao Feng's direction and gave a quick look over Xiao Feng before saying, "Isn't it just a beast with a dragon bloodline? The bloodline does seem quite pure, but…"

Before he could finish, his eyes suddenly narrowed as if he had realized something and he took a closer look at Xiao Feng before turning to Hong Long in disbelief. It took him quite a while before he was able to say, "Is it really that?"

Hong Long nodded before saying, "It's exactly what you think it is."

The man in the azure robe immediately revealed a serious look as he turned back to look at Lin Fan and asked, "This man is the master of this little dragon?"

Hong Long gently hit his head and said, "Don't even think about it."

The man in the azure robe wasn't displeased from being hit, but he still said, "Uncle, we can't leave the hope of our Dragon Race in the hands of an outsider! We have to bring this little dragon back to the clan!"

Hong Long didn't reply to this, but rather he pointed at Xiao Huo, Xiao Lei, and Xiao Bai as he said, "Look at them first before you make that decision."

This time, the man in the azure robe wasn't negligent and carefully looked over the three of them. It didn't take long before he revealed the same shocked look as before as he stammered, "They, they, they all have, have the sacred bloodlines!"

Hong Long gave a nod before saying, "That's right, now do you get what I mean? There is a master behind this kid who gave him all these pets, do you really want to mess with someone like that?"

The man in the azure robe had a difficult look on his face as he said, "But uncle, you know what this means for our Dragon Race…"

Hong Long nodded again before saying, "I know, that is why I've approached this kid, even letting him hold my soul fragment. He's already said that he would bring that little dragon to the Dragon Race, so we have to just wait for that day."

The man in the azure robe still said, "But uncle, how are we to trust the words of a human?"

Hong Long gave a soft snort, "So what if he's human? You should know better than that already."

Then he didn't give the man in the azure robe a chance to speak as he said, "For now, with the backing that he has, we can only be his friends and never his enemy, do you understand?"

The man in the azure robe clearly had something else to say, but he still swallowed those words as he said, "Yes uncle."

Hong Long nodded before saying, "Alright, come with me. I'll introduce you."
