"Who goes there!" A loud shout came from afar.
On the wide Dragon Way, ten of the patrolling warriors flew over directly, and the captain in charge shouted, "This is the important territory of my Azure Dragon Clan, you must leave immediately!"
Lin Feng greeted them with a smile, pointing to Sasha and Baobao, and said, "Everyone, the three of us are members of a branch of the Azure Dragon Clan. We've been in the Infernal Realm for so long, and we've finally arrived here."
"Someone come and greet us!" the Baobao said rather unladylike. "It's been so long, I'm exhausted!"
"You're members of a branch of my Redding Clan?" The captain looked at Linley with suspicion. "Kid, we're members of a branch of my family. We all returned a long time ago." The other members of the patrol were not very convinced.
As for why Lin Feng was called "kid," it's only because Lin Feng himself completely concealed his Highgod aura and actively emitted the aura of Midgod. With Lin Feng's current soul cultivation, it would be difficult for anyone other than Seven-Star Fiend or higher to detect his true strength if he wanted to hide it. Although these patrolling warriors were Highgod, they were only around the strength of ordinary four- or Five-Star Fiend, so naturally they couldn't discover Lin Feng's true strength.
"You should know that my Azure Dragon Clan can transform into dragons," one of the patrolling warriors said.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Hiss~" Instantly, cyan-gold dragon scales emerged from Lin Feng's body, and sharp spikes sprouted from his forehead. Lin Feng stared at the captain with his dark golden eyes and laughed, "Now, you should believe me, right?"
The patrol team members all laughed.
The captain smiled broadly, "I knew it. Judging from your aura, you seem to have a fairly pure family bloodline. But why are there spikes on your back? However, your aura is unmistakable."
By observing whether someone has transformed into a dragon, it becomes easy to determine whether they are a member of the Azure Dragon Clan.
The dragonmen among the orcs are completely different from the dragonification of the Azure Dragon Clan. They differ greatly in both strength and aura, only their appearances are somewhat similar.
Lin Feng's Wind Divine Clone was fused with eight drops of Azure Dragon Essence Blood, making its bloodline exceptionally pure, even purer than that of Gaisresen and Gaea, the children of the Azure Dragon and the first generation members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. After all, the Azure Dragon only possessed nearly a thousand drops of essence blood in total, and it couldn't possibly have used ten or so drops from each child to conceive. If it did, the Azure Dragon would likely die from exhaustion after conceiving dozens or hundreds of offspring. Of course, this "essence" refers to the essence of its blood essence.
Therefore, although both Gaisresen and Gaea are children of the Azure Dragon, the true essence of the Divine Beast Azure Dragon within them is at most only four or five drops.
For Divine Beast, their essence and blood are fundamental. Without these, they would be reduced to ordinary magical beasts. The more noble the Divine Beast, the rarer and more precious its essence and blood. Moreover, once lost, it is very difficult to replenish.
This is also why the more powerful Divine Beast, the fewer offspring it has.
Azure Dragon has only two children, Gaisresen and Gaea. The Zijing Chief Sovereign, a Amethyst Divine Beast, also has only one son, Reisjing. Beirut, a God-Eater Rat, has only three children: Harry, Hart, and Harvey.
After all, they can't afford to have too many children.
"Haha, brother, you've worked hard." The captain immediately greeted him with a smile, saying sincerely, "Our family's retreat from the various planes was far too hasty. I guess you didn't have time to return with the main force."
The captain sighed deeply.
"When our main force returned, it was a terrible situation. Many of my brothers died in the retreat." The captain had tears in his eyes. "Let's go home! Once we're home, we'll be safe."
The word "home" stirred a tremor in Lin Feng's heart. At that moment, Lin Feng thought of his home on Earth, his parents, and his younger sister Lin Ruo.
"Mom, Dad, Xiaoruo, are you all doing well on Earth?" Lin Feng felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Although Lin Feng is a top-tier Asura in this world, revered by countless god-level experts wherever he goes, and even more so by his immense influence in the Yulan, he has a beautiful and gentle wife, an elderly grandfather named Doehring, parents waiting for his rescue, and a son and two daughters to enjoy his company. He is surrounded by his children and grandchildren, truly enjoying the bliss of family life.
However, while enjoying this kind of life, Lin Feng never forgot that he still had his parents on Earth, who toiled in the fields every day to support his education.
His parents' backs grew increasingly hunched, and his own education level rose higher and higher. Finally, when he graduated from university and could properly repay his parents for raising him, fate played a cruel joke on him: he was transported to another world.
He had no choice; he was struck by a meteorite and brought to this world.
Going home, returning to Earth, seeing his parents and sister—this was Lin Feng Lin Feng's sole goal when he first came to this world. It was also his initial motivation for cultivation. And Lin Feng has always been relentlessly striving towards this goal. Although his motivation for cultivation later changed, this goal has never wavered.
In the past, Lin Feng was able to suppress these emotions well and not let them show. But now, the word "go home" has stirred up all sorts of memories.
"Father, you're crying," Sasha whispered in Lin Feng's ear.
Sasha had never seen or imagined her father cry. In Sasha memory, her father was strong and composed, always able to talk and laugh in any situation. Even if an empire were to fall and tens of millions of people were to die, Lin Feng would not feel pain, nor would he shed a single tear.
But now, Lin Feng is crying.
"Tears of joy, yes, tears of joy." Lin Feng hurriedly circulated his divine power to dry the tears from the corners of his eyes, forcing a smile, " Sasha, Baobao, let's go home, yes, home."
What followed was much simpler. When Lin Feng and his group revealed that they had come from Yulan, they were not suspected as in the original story. They were lucky because their captain was acquainted with Baruch and knew about the Yulan Branch.
The captain, named Isor, told the others to continue patrolling while he led Lin Feng and his group of four towards the interior of the Skyrite Mountains.
Along the way, Lin Feng learned a lot about the current situation of the Four Divine Beasts Clan from the captain. When talking about the future of the clan, Lin Feng saw deep worry and helplessness on the captain's face.
Of course, the captain also explained some rules to Lin Feng and his group, such as they could only fly on the Dragon Way and could not fly to other areas. Although Lin Feng knew these rules, he still smiled and nodded, showing that he was learning.
As they spoke, Lin Feng and his companions, led by Isor, followed the Dragon Way to the entrance of a very ordinary two-story building built on the mountainside. At the entrance of the two-story building, an old man with white hair was lying comfortably in a chair with his eyes half-closed.
" Haniman," Isor said with a smile.
The white-haired old man opened his eyes, smiled, and stood up. "Oh, it's you, Isor. What brings you here today?"
"We just encountered three members with bloodlines from our family. Please help us investigate and record their information," Isor explained.
"Which three?" The white-haired old man turned to look at Lin Feng and his three companions.
"It's him, and the two women behind him." Isor pointed to Lin Feng, Lin Feng smiled at the white-haired old man and said, "Mr. Haniman, my name is Lin Feng, and these two are my daughters from the Baruch Clan the Yulan Material Plane!"
"Oh, the Baruch Clan? The lineage of Yulan, I know." Haniman raised a white eyebrow and smiled. "Our Azure Dragon Clan is also the Redding Clan. Almost all branches consider themselves to be from the Redding Clan. There are only a few branches that don't even know their own family name and just make up names. Your Baruch Clan is one of them."
Lin Feng could only smile.
"You can name the Baruch Clan. I believe you must be a member of our family." Haniman shook his head helplessly. "However, the family has rules that require strict verification, so I need to go with you to meet your family elders."
"To meet the family elders?" Lin Feng felt a faint sense of anticipation.
"Yes, that's right. We need to go through them to fully verify your origins." Haniman then looked at Isor, " Isor, this is none of your business. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go with them."
Isor nodded and immediately left.
"It's rare to see a family member who's been separated from the family return even once in a thousand years," Haniman sighed. "Come, let's go see the ancestor of your branch."
Lin Feng and the others quickly followed.
