181 Frightened Dragons
A pervading silence ruled the entire place. Only the sound of wind comforted their ears despite the chill it gave them. However, Yang Lujia sooner broke this strange tranquil state of everybody.
“Truth be told, my disciple and I have the strongest bloodline of dragons. I have the Avatar Dragon Body, while one of my disciples had the Dragon King Body,” Yang Lujia truthfully said, which left a deep impression on everyone present.
“Your Highness actually has the Avatar Dragon Body?” Even Cai Hong was a bit surprised. “I heard that the Avatar Dragon Body contains the thickest bloodline of the Dragon Emperor and that the Dragon King Body was just second to it. I thought it would only appear in the legends. I never thought that His Highness actually has such an esteemed bloodline.”
“Moreover…” Yang Lujia paused as he smiled. “I also possess a stronger body and bloodline.”
“What the? Does his Highness possess two special bodies and bloodlines in one body? How is that even possible?!” Cai Hong’s eyes bulged in shock. “Could it be that His Highness is capable of absorbing other bodies and bloodlines? Is that even possible?!”
Yang Lujia was quite pleased with showing off his strength and the shock he gave them, which somewhat brought great happiness to him. It was that kind of happiness he felt after confining himself from the world.
Nothing was bad about bragging as long as he didn’t go overboard and offend people stronger than him. Fortuniel made him feel reassured as well. The more he could upgrade the system, the more he would be able to answer his questions, such as knowing the exact cultivation realms of other people or even their origins.
Of course, those were only some of the probable changes that would soon be brought to Long Guang after he absorbed those shining golden balls of light coming out of every person who his disciples had enmity with.
“Alright, instead of dwelling on these things, why don’t you all enter the Void Ground now?” Yang Lujia suggested, waking everyone from their trance, after knowing that Yang Lujia was so powerful that every genius in the four regions would pale in comparison to him.
Even Cai Hong was shocked about this. He knew that His Highness was very strong, mostly due to his talent, but he didn’t know that his talent would be so perverted—as though he wouldn’t leave some space for others to shine.
“Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness!” they all chorused, sweat running down their backs.
They knew very well that if Yang Lujia had longed to kill them since the beginning, they would not have been left alive until now.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Lujia temporarily suspended the qi disturbances, allowing the others to enter the Void Ground with ease.
Everyone did not wait for Yang Lujia’s order and directly entered the gate. Even Cai Hong rushed in. He couldn’t wait to obtain treasures for His Highness. To him, gaining the best praises from Yang Lujia would be the thing he could gift himself with.
“Aren’t you going to enter at this time? All of them have entered the gate already, no?” Lan Mingyue, who was silent all the time, appeared beside him. “If you don’t want to waste your time, then you should get going.”
“No, you should go. I’ll be keeping an eye on everyone,” Yang Lujia said as his light flashed with a curious light.
Lan Mingyue just harrumphed and followed the others inside the gate.
Meanwhile, Yang Lujia remained outside the gate and was looking at the glaring dragons engraved on the gigantic door. He could sense something familiar about these dragons.
“Are you a twin dragon? Spirits guarding this Void Ground?” Yang Lujia meaningfully asked. “I can also sense the void aura from the two of you.”
Yang Lujia incessantly disturbed the two dragon spirits until the latter suddenly roared at him. When Yang Lujia faced their roar, his heart grew cold.
“So strong!”
This was the first he encountered something that could threaten his life.
“Brat, you’re still wet behind your ears. Although you’re able to comprehend quintessential laws, that’s not enough to threaten our authority in the Void Ground,” the left dragon said as his whole body suddenly glowed blue. “I am the Blue Guardian, the one left to guard this Void Sacred Ground. Brat, you’re quite talented. Who are you? What are you doing here in the lower realms?”
Its tone went from complimenting to a serious one, baffling Yang Lujia as to how moody this dragon was. “Senior, I have been using the names of Cao Nima and Dum Gai to disguise myself from other people. However, before I tell you my real name, may I ask senior about what you know regarding the void?”
“I don’t know much about the void. When we arrived at this place, our memories were fuzzy and there were only a few things I could remember. However, none of them were really important,” the Blue Guardian sounded helpless.
Now, it was the Red Guardian’s turn to glow and join in the conversation as well. “Blue, since we came here, we were told not to talk to strangers or the people coming from this world.”
“Red, can’t you feel it? The faint fluctuations around his body suggest that he came from the same place as us, the Void. Although I don’t know why I can’t see through him, it’s most probably an array formation blocking us from forcibly hurting or injuring them,” the Blue Guardian replied.
“Hmph! Let’s see if he’s really—ah? He’s really from the Void? What’s your name, young man?” Its tone of voice suddenly changed from a masculine man’s to a woman’s voice. It was so soothing to the ears that even Yang Lujia fell into a temporary trance from her voice.
“Eh? The senior’s actually a woman?” Yang Lujia was surprised. “I thought you were some sort of brothers. It turned out that the two of you are loves.”
“Ah?!” Both of the guardians were taken aback by Yang Lujia’s comment. They even went silent for a while. On the other hand, Yang Lujia was liking the silence as this could only further embarrass the two. He could even imagine that the two of these dragons were blushing.
“Brat! You sure know your words well! Hahaha!” The Blue Guardian just laughed it off. However, his voice carried the tinge of awkwardness, as though he was still shy about it. Meanwhile, the Red Guardian kept her mouth shut. If she were to speak, she knew that she’d just be humiliating himself in front of a youngster like Yang Lujia.
Sensing the continuing awkwardness of the atmosphere, Yang Lujia chose to bring the topic to another.
He cupped his hands and said, “Since the seniors wish to know this youngster’s name, I am Yang Lujia. Do the seniors know of the Yang Family from the void?”
“What the fuck?!” Both the guardians suddenly shouted and hurriedly went back to their engraved forms on the gate. “We never wanted to offend His Highness. We are merely here because we have a mission we don’t even know.”
They said the same thing simultaneously that even Yang Lujia felt speechless with their sudden and strange behavior.
“We are strong, but we do not intend to hurt His Highness earlier. Rest assured, we will also help His Highness’ friends too, at most possible, will not encounter some peril that would endanger their lives.”
Yang Lujia felt helpless and just shook his head, still his eyes on the two dragons. “Seniors, this junior did not want you to be like this. I merely wanted to ask you about the Yang Family. Someone close to me (Brownie) always talked to me about the Yang Family being scarily strong.”
The gate trembled along with the two dragons as soon as they heard Yang Lujia’s words. “We don’t dare! We don’t dare! Please spare us!”
Yang Lujia felt even more speechless with their behavior, like this, as though they were afraid of something. Was his family in this world really so frighteningly powerful? Even these dragons were afraid of them.
One had to know that Yang Lujia was already strong enough to take on several Saint Emperors, but he did not expect that the two dragons seemed to be far stronger than him in terms of cultivation realm.
Just a wave of pressure made him want to kneel.
Just as he was about to continue doing what he was doing, Fortuniel’s voice suddenly rang into his mind—making him turn vigilant. It had to be known that Fortuniel wouldn’t appear or say anything to him unless he took the initiative to ask or there was something that Fortuniel had to warn him about.
“Fortuniel suggests being wary of these two dragons. The host could have also sensed it with his instincts.”
Yang Lujia was baffled by Fortuniel’s words. “What do you mean by my instincts? I am unable to sense anything special. Did you feel something?”
“Indeed, it was like a pair of eyes were looking directly at us.”
