Background and History
Lin Long founded the True Dragon Hall in the Azure Realm. Its headquarters are in the Upper Domain, with branches in the Middle Domain and the Lower Domain’s prefectures. Although it normally avoids local power struggles, its influence in Azure Prefecture is substantial 202 204 327.
An envoy of the Hall, Li Yaozu, intervened against the Soul Devouring Heavenly Gu in the Nightmare Marsh. The Gu overpowered him before Xia Wuji disrupted its soul threads 202 203 204.
Later, the Azure City branch and the Pill Pagoda initiated talks among Azure Prefecture’s major forces. Hall Master Li Miaozhen helped broker the Fiend Extermination Alliance against the Twelve Fiends, while the Hall co-organized the Azure Cloud Competition 326 327 334 354.

Relations with Xia Wuji
Xia Wuji entered the Azure Prefecture branch’s Dragon Transformation Gate and obtained an exceptional amount of Dragon Qi. The Dragon Soul told Li Miaozhen and Yang Hannan to take care of him; Li Miaozhen subsequently gave him three Dragon Origin Pills 331 334 336. After a dispute over his use of the Dragon Transformation Art, the Hall invited him to visit more often 359 360.
In the Middle Domain, Xia Wuji awakened all nine souls of the Coiling Dragon Pillar. The Hall then accepted Long Teng, his Azure Sky Dragon Python, and Great Elder Zhang Shun escorted Xia Wuji to safety 660 661 662. Later, when the Hall’s Upper Domain leadership forbade further intervention in another conflict, Long Teng’s standing still offered a means to seek protection there for Qin Yu and Lin Ling 739.
