Chapter 66 – Qian Dragon Spear
Chapter 66 Qian Dragon Spear
Long Yu followed Bu Xing all the way and after two days, both returned to Zhentian Sect and arrived at the bamboo grove, where the elders lived.
On the way, Bu Xing probably told Long Yu about things from his life background.
In those years, Baiyun Zong and Long Zaitian were generals of Tang State, and Feng Longsong was the vice general of Long Zaitian.
The main task of these generals was to protect Tang State from the menace of foreign enemies, and a person having cultivation level, at least above Zhenling mystical realm, could become a general of Tang State, and obviously, the cultivation levels of Long Zaitian, Baiyun Zong and Feng Longsong were above Zhenling mystical realm.
But, on one occasion, while resisting against foreign enemies, Feng Longsong was seriously injured and his meridians were severely damaged, so now, he could only display the strength equal to Wudao eighth layer and thus was unable to release Zhenling.
“So my father is called Long Zaitian and he was a general of Tang State. But, Bu Xing, perhaps doesn’t know many things about him, for particular details, I will have to ask sovereign Baiyun Zong.”
Long Yu thought to himself and looked at the Elders Pavilion, in the bamboo grove.
“Sovereign is inside, you go and see him.”
Bu Xing smiled and said again while reminding Long Yu: “Right brother, wait for me when you return to the Martial Court. Your good brother Ling Han has sent a letter two days ago, possibly there may be something in it that you’re looking for…..”
“Ok.”
At that time, Long Yu’s mind was fully focused on seeing the sovereign, however, he nodded.
Ling Han had talked before about his trip to Ling clan’s villa, perhaps something might have happened there?
But, Long Yu put aside this thing for the time being, and moved forward and stepped into the elders’ pavilion.
At this time, the elders’ pavilion looked empty in comparison to the previous time.
Long Yu gave a quick look inside and saw the appearance of a 31-year-old middle-aged man, with short hair, and two pinches of small mustaches on the corners of his mouth, it was actually the sovereign of Zhentian Sect, Baiyun Zong!
At this time, Baiyun Zong was sipping tea and when he looked up, he saw Long Yu.
“There.”
Baiyun Zong said the word, and immediately waved his hand towards Long Yu’s side, where a spear was kept, leaning against the wall.
“What is this?”
Long Yu gawked and subconsciously stretched out his hands, perhaps he wanted to grab the long spear.
However, as his hand bumped into the spear, he sensed a roaring sound of a dragon spreading out from that long spear and sipped into his whole body.
“Very heavy!”
Long Yu’s whole body trembled, but he immediately extended his other hand to hold the long spear to balance his stature and was able to stabilize himself.
But, the weight of the long spear was beyond his imagination, perhaps 10,000 Jin, so he couldn’t hold it suddenly, however, he was able to stand firm, but by the time, the spear had already turned and hit the ground heavily.
“It’s the spear used by your father before his death, called Qian Dragon Spear!”
Baiyun Zong said in a melancholic voice as if delving deep into some of his past memories.
Qian Dragon Spear!
Long Yu scowled, did his father use this spear during his lifetime?
Was his father dead now?
“My father, he -”
Long Yu could not help but ask aloud.
“Now you have the capability to take up this Qian Dragon Spear, though not very smoothly, but now you can begin coordinating with it to understand how to use it.”
Then, Baiyun Zong looked at him, and immediately sipped some tea, and said: “Originally, I thought that I will have to keep this Qian Dragon Spear a secret for the rest of my life, actually I never thought that you will actually turn out to be so talented.”
The scenes of the past, along with the narration of Baiyun Zong, page after page was being turned in front of Long Yu!
Long Yu’s father, Long Zaitian, was born in the Dragon clan of Tang State.
The Dragon clan, the Chu clan and the Mo clan were the three clans who had proved their powerful presence and formidable strength in Tang State!
The heads of these clans had established their influence in the entire Tang State.
As for the Royal family, to which Wang Tianzhuo belonged, it was one of the four Royal families in Tang State.
The Royal families and the clans, simply couldn’t be compared, briefly speaking, the four big Royal families including the family to which Wang Tianzhuo belonged, weren’t as powerful as the Dragon clan.
The Dragon clan was like the nursery of martial talents, and produced several geniuses every year, and they were finally recruited to be the generals of Tang State from generation to generation. Long Zaitian had extraordinary talent and only at the age of 18, he stepped into the Zhenling mystical realm!
On the basis of his extraordinary talent, he became one of the youngest generals of Tang State.
Also after this, Baiyun Zong and Long Zaitian came to know each other, and from the beginning, Feng Longsong was the vice general of Long Zaitian, but Long Zaitian never put on airs and always treated him as his brother.
After that, they were engaged in a military expedition for ten years. During these ten years, Baiyun Zong and Long Zaitian repeatedly resisted the invasions of Meng State and Dang State successfully. The news of their military glory circulated widely.
For example, when Long Yu had not left Yu Guan city, then he had heard about Baiyun Zong leading a military expedition and killing enemies, but at that time, he didn’t hear anything about Long Zaitian, it seemed as if news related to him was being actually intentionally blocked and no one dared to say even a single word about him.
This left Long Yu’s mind full of doubts.
But this time, Long Yu finally got to know the truth from Baiyun Zong.
After ten years when he became the general of Tang State, he came into contact with a woman named Beiyu Yao.
Needless to say, Beiyu Yao was extremely beautiful, but the most important thing was that her family forces had much more formidable influence in comparison to Tang State!
Long Zaitian and Beiyu Yao loved each other, but Beiyu Yao actually encountered a lot of obstructions from numerous powerhouses of her clan.
This resulted into several wars and killings of the opponents by Long Zaitian. His strength was regarded as a terror for the enemies in those days and deterred everyone. Some of the powerhouses of the family of Beiyu Yao set out to cope with Long Zaitian, but finally weren’t able to deal with him!
But, because of their influence, the forces of the family of Beiyu Yao put pressure on Tang State to take action against Long Zaitian. Moreover, some of the people were jealous of the rise of Long Zaitian. All of this led to taking a series of actions against Long Zaitian by Tang State, and it finally caused his deportation from Tang State.
He was not only ousted from the position of the general of Tang State but also expelled from there!
The reason for Long Zaitian’s expulsion was treason, which was just framed-up by the collaboration of his enemies.
Thus, it could be imagined that Long Zaitian had no place left to go.
In those days, Long Zaitian faced a precarious situation. Tang State couldn’t accommodate him, and once he led the Tang State’s and killed several enemies from Meng State and Dang State, so these two States couldn’t accommodate him either, and Long Zaitian was so prideful that he would never seek shelter in the enemy States.
So, he and Beiyu Yao roamed here and there for one year but ultimately could not avoid a disaster.
Eventually, after Beiyu Yao gave birth to Long Yu, she was captured by the enemy forces and there was no news about her for a long time.
Long Zaitian was a man of no compromise, and it was said that he broke into the enemy forces, but what exactly happened there, no one knew, even Baiyun Zong didn’t know the whereabouts of Long Zaitian.
Only a small fragmentary news came and Baiyun Zong came to know that Long Zaitian was completely suppressed, and was feared to have already passed away.
Feng Longsong was actually not in a position to protect Long Zaitian. Quite before tendering any help in the protection of Long Zaitian, Feng Longsong was seriously injured, and his meridians were damaged, and it became impossible for him for the rest of his life to step into a higher level of martial arts. Now, he could only display the strength of Wudao eighth layer and couldn’t even congeal Zhenling.
Long after the day of the disappearance of Long Zaitian, Feng Longsong returned to Yu Guan city with Long Yu and raised him there.
Meanwhile, he met with a Liu family’s woman, named Liu Yu, whom he previously knew, and married her. She gave birth to Feng Yao. Thus, Feng Longsong finally settled in Yu Guan city.
During these years, many people wanted to kill the source of the trouble, Long Yu, but he managed to survive.
“Whether the Tang Emperor or the Dragon clan or the forces of your mother, all of them want to kill you.”
Baiyun Zong said lightly: “But, there are many people who also want to protect you, that’s why you have managed to survive until now.”
“I understand that there are people who want to kill me. But, who wants to protect me?”
Long Yu scowled: “My mother has been arrested, my father disappeared, in addition, who else?”
“Regarding this, we can only wait after you to become stronger, then only we will find the truth.”
Baiyun Zong cast aside his mustache, smiled and said: “Ultimately, I, Baiyun Zong ,was only an outsider, your father was implicated and ousted from the status of general, and being your father’ friend, similarly, I was also ousted from the status of general, and could only come to Zhentian Sect to become a sovereign.”
“Do you hate my father?”
Long Yu asked.
“What do you think?”
Baiyun Zong snorted loudly: “Young fellow, if he has become a wanderer but hasn’t informed me then it is seriously hateful! At present, no one knows his whereabouts, and I could only come to Zhentian Sect to become its sovereign and to perform this dull job, it is boring, boring ah!”
“……”
Long Yu listened to it, and thought that the relationship between Baiyun Zong and Long Zaitian was perhaps good, and that was why he would not complain about being implicated by Long Zaitian.
Long Yu didn’t find any trace of regret in Baiyun Zong’s eyes for the loss of his status as a general, but perhaps, Long Zaitian thought that this loss would definitely touch Baiyun Zong’s heart, so he didn’t say anything to Baiyun Zong and wandered away on his own!
But regarding this, Long Yu didn’t have the means to say anything with certainty, and he could only make a guess secretly in his heart.
The Tang Emperor, the Dragon clan, and the forces of his mother’s clan, but who exactly wanted to protect him?
Now, he didn’t fully understand these three aspects, but he simply could guess only. But he somewhat confirmed that besides Feng Longsong, there were some other people who were worried about him.
“In any event, I, Long Yu, will set foot on the summit of martial arts, and will figure out everything.”
“Long Zaitian, my father, I will eventually find you, and then together, we will catch the person who falsely accused you of treason!”
Long Yu set firm resolve in his heart.
In this world, strength was respected by all, and if one had enough strength, all problems could be solved!
“Here, I give this Qian Dragon Spear to you.”
Baiyun Zong told everything that he knew and looked very much relaxed: “This is not a common battle weapon, if, in a perfect condition, it is more powerful than the best grade battle weapons, but unfortunately, it has been damaged.
With his words, he gave the spear to Long Yu, and as he took it in his hand, he again heard the faint roar of a dragon coming out of the spear.
“Sovereign, is there any martial skills above the best grade martial skills?”
Long Yu wrinkled his eyebrows and inquired.
Ever since he got Nine hidden Dragon Fist, he wanted to know whether there existed some martial skills above best grade martial skills.
But, he didn’t know what exactly they were, so now, he decided to ask Baiyun Zong about it.
“Of course.”
Baiyun Zong wrinkled his eyebrows and said: “However, these are the things you can use only after stepping into the Zhenling Mystical realm. At present, you should choose a top grade marksmanship skill first and temporarily coordinate with this Qian Dragon Spear, in order to learn how to use it properly.”
