Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1488: 1492: A Century of Repentance

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1492: A Century of Repentance

Zhu Minglang sat quietly for a long time, lost in thought.

Perhaps his destiny as an Azure God had something to do with his first mentor.

Unfortunately, after journeying through the complexity and vastness of the world, Zhu Minglang never got the chance to sit down and have a good talk with her.

It felt as though she had vanished into thin air!

Touching the sword in his hand, Zhu Minglang felt as if he had come full circle.

However, some things inherently have no answer.

Zhu Minglang stared at the scene for several days but never found the person he was looking for, so he had to give up.

When he arrived at Ancestral Dragon City, Zhu Minglang found that its appearance hadn’t changed much from before, even the workshop he used to frequent was still run by the Zhao family… He remembered the previous master was Zhao Long with his robust muscles.

It was amusing to see the successor, a young man equally muscular, working without a shirt, completely unfazed by the sparks from the forge and weapons bouncing onto him.

Zhu Minglang walked towards the Li Imperial Palace; it still belonged to the Li Family, and the Nan Clan was still present.

It seemed as if no matter what upheavals occurred, names and families here wouldn’t change, whether floating alone in the vast universe or falling into a more expansive and brilliant Sky Field.

Yet Zhu Minglang had gone through that era when gods invaded with Ancestral Dragon City, knowing it was not easy for Ancestral Dragon City to survive until now…

“Or perhaps nothing would truly change because perhaps an Azure God is hidden behind Ancestral Dragon City, aware that years change and times fluctuate, and until Ancestral Dragon City is flattened, he will remain hidden?”

Suddenly, Zhu Minglang considered this possibility.

Ancestral Dragon City is ancient and timeless, and it holds an irreplaceable creative position in Jun Tian.

Supreme Court Courtyard Continent is almost a hundred times larger than Li Chuan Continent; Dragon Gate did not appear on any land in Supreme Court but precisely in Ancestral Dragon City, indicating its extraordinary significance…

Why did Zhu Xuehen choose Li Chuan?

Or is it that she can only be in Li Chuan, only on the land where Ancestral Dragon City is located?

Zhu Minglang remembered when Supreme Court Courtyard Continent had just appeared on Li Chuan Continent; Zhu Xuehen, claiming to be an Order Keeper, stepped into Ancestral Dragon City.

Her first act after entering Ancestral Dragon City was to destroy Sect Palace!

Why not destroy the Li Family and the Nan Clan, but instead Sect Palace??

In her eyes, is Sect Palace the outside invading force??

The Li Family and Nan Clan have inherited from the Ancestral Dragon Goddess and are masters of Ancestral Dragon City.

Zhu Xuehen knew this from the beginning, which is why she only destroyed Sect Palace.

This means, regardless of whether he showed himself then or not, Zhu Xuehen wouldn’t act against the Li Family and Nan Clan.

Her actions were not a takeover, nor as an Order Keeper, but merely to eradicate forces threatening the Ancestral Dragon City’s heritage family!

She was protecting Ancestral Dragon City!

“Slap!” Zhu Minglang slapped his forehead, wondering why he had never considered this before.

Thus, the secret of Dragon Gate actually lies within Ancestral Dragon City!

Zhu Minglang tried hard to recall his last conversation with Zhu Xuehen.

She didn’t tell him anything about Azure God, didn’t mention Dragon Gate, nor the Sky Field and Forty-nine God Provinces, only advised him to stay away from the Li Family and Nan Sisters.

If the previous assumptions were correct, she is the guardian of Dragon Gate, the Azure God representing heaven, then her advice further verifies the assumptions; the secret of Dragon Gate lies within Ancestral Dragon City.

Moreover, this secret is likely known by the Li Family and Nan Sisters, or they qualify to know it.

Zhu Minglang continued walking along the white city wall of Ancestral Dragon City; the vast, ancient walls were like a white Ancient Dragon encircling itself.

The Human Race initially sought protection from Dragons, honoring them as deities.

Dragons formed a wall with their bodies to fend off primordial demons, thus giving birth to Human City.

Ancestral Dragon City is a quintessential archetype, an ancient city formed from dragon’s remains, preserving the heritage dating back to the Dragon Shepherd era!

Following the city wall, Zhu Minglang walked around again and again.

He observed the structure of Ancestral Dragon City, its “feng shui.”

Using his powerful divine sense to perceive every white brick on the walls, exploring the eternal Ancestral Dragon bone within, once repelling Night Demons, perhaps concealing and protecting the true essence of this world.

Finally, Zhu Minglang noticed some unusual things.

He stopped his steps and realized he was quite close to the Nan Family Courtyard.

The Sacred Forest, Nan Family Courtyard, and city wall formed a common tangent point where there was an ordinary wall surface…

The door of the shrine faced this wall, and Zhu Minglang vaguely remembered Li Ying once repented inside the shrine.

Zhu Minglang walked toward the shrine, seeing an elderly man with white hair who seemed devoid of any vitality, appearing almost on the brink of becoming a dry skeleton.

“Sir, how many years have you guarded this shrine?” Zhu Minglang stepped forward to inquire.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and as he perceived Zhu Minglang’s figure embedded within his deep-sunk eyes, his body lightly trembled.

“Do you recognize me?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Zhu… Zhu… Zhu Minglang…” the old man struggled to utter these words.

Zhu Minglang carefully examined the elderly man, finally recognizing some familiar traces in his otherwise unrecognizable appearance.

“Li Ying??” Zhu Minglang asked tentatively.

“Yes… yes!”

“Who would have thought it was Father-in-law, my apologies for not recognizing you. Have you really been here since that time; it’s been a hundred years now, oh, you truly have longevity.” Zhu Minglang remarked with some surprise.

“I… have been… here… all along… here, I’m sorry, sorry, I… Can you tell them I’m sorry, I…” Li Ying obviously lacked the longevity of a god, living merely longer than ordinary humans.

“A hundred years have passed, grudges are no longer grudges.” Zhu Minglang said indifferently.

“But they’ve never come back to see me… I have nothing left. I know I am sorry to them… Look at me, look at me. I won’t have much longer now. No matter how far my soul descends in the afterlife, I will have no resentment. I… I only wish to see them once more… I beg…” Li Ying stammered his dying wishes.

“I will pass this along.” Zhu Minglang didn’t promise but stated this.

Li Ying expressed his gratitude again and again…

Looking at this entirely changed old man, Zhu Minglang found in his heart no trace of hatred anymore.
