Dragon Tamer-Chapter 450 - 452: Zhu Gate Secret Area

Chapter 450: Chapter 452: Zhu Gate Secret Area

“Young Master, I absolutely have no thoughts of harming you!” Zhu Huo realized he was already seen as a traitor by Zhu Minglang and hurriedly explained.

“Go and investigate. I will only believe you this one time. Either give me a reasonable explanation, or after three days, I will report this matter to the elders in the Inner Court, and you are well aware of the consequences,” Zhu Minglang said to Zhu Huo.

Whether Zhu Huo was the insider or not, Zhu Minglang was unable to judge.

But there was definitely something wrong with Wang Xiao, as he was already panicking.

“Thank you, Young Master, thank you. Zhu Huo will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and will not overlook anyone who intends to harm the Young Master. If I cannot give the Young Master an explanation, after three days, there’s no need for the Young Master to take action, I will present my head to you!” Zhu Huo, sweating profusely, no longer dared to meet Zhu Minglang’s eyes.

Zhu Minglang waved his hand, indicating Zhu Huo to leave.

Zhu Huo repeatedly kowtowed, knocking his head on the ground ten times before he dared to rise and leave.

As the main Deacon of the Zhu Clan Inner Court, his position was already not low.

No matter whether this matter was Zhu Huo’s doing or not, he had to take the responsibility.

The Zhu Gate’s Small Inner Court was vast, and it would take Wang Xiao quite some time to try to escape…

Zhu Huo gave an order, and soon after, Wang Xiao was brought back by the guards of the Little Inner Court. As for the interrogation, Zhu Minglang did not even care to ask.

…

A small ripple did not affect Zhu Minglang’s quality sleep.

In the Imperial City, such assassination attempts were as common as household meals. Zhu Minglang could sometimes understand why Zhu Heavenly Officer did not want him to get involved in the Family Door struggles, and let him travel outside instead.

The higher the position one held in the Family Door, the more treacherous it was like walking on thin ice.

Before going to bed, he checked the bloodline shaping of the Refining Ash Black Dragon and had to admit that the Essence of Evil Dragon Blood was indeed an exceptional substance. It had granted the Refining Ash Black Dragon abilities that almost surpassed its own level.

This Purgatory Pupil Domain could possibly overwhelm even those with Monarch Level cultivation bases, and it would clearly become even more powerful as Little Black Dragon’s cultivation base increased, giving Little Black Dragon what amounted to an ultimate Dragon Skill.

Bloodline shaping would not increase a dragon pet’s cultivation base, but it would grant the dragon some extraordinary abilities that often surpassed their own level of cultivation, while also increasing their ceiling for growth!

It seemed, once Little Black Dragon reached adulthood, it would be a force to be reckoned with in the Monarch Level realm!

Should he also prepare sufficient resources in advance for Little Black Dragon, so that it could truly sweep through everything?

Dragon Armor!

Little Black Dragon had a piece of Dragon Armor inscribed with inscriptions, the Melting Fire Armor!

It was also time to reinforce this Melting Fire Armor, an armor personally forged by Zhu Heavenly Officer with a high potential for customization.

“Little Black Dragon should grow to adulthood quite rapidly, these days I should promptly organize the forging methods for the two pieces of Dragon Armor,” Zhu Minglang made up his mind.

Two pieces of Dragon Armor naturally have to be Holy Goods, prepared for Little Qingzhuo and Big Black Tooth the Dragon King’s cultivation levels.

…

Since he gave Zhu Huo a chance to investigate, the assassination matter would not be publicized.

The next day, Zhu Minglang continued as if nothing had happened, learning the Wind Marks inscription carving from Zhu Rongrong.

Zhu Rongrong took the teaching very seriously and specifically drew armor blueprints for the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, ensuring the whole Dragon Armor would fit perfectly with the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s characteristics and attributes.

On the third day, Uncle Wangxing finally returned.

As the Holder of the Little Inner Court, Uncle Wangxing was a rather low-profile person.

The strength of the Zhu Gate’s Small Inner Court in Neon Sea was equivalent to the Nine Tribes of Neon Sea, but the vast majority of Neon Sea’s people believed that it was the Nine Tribes that ruled Neon Sea, rather than any other power.

“It’s been so many years since we last met, huh? I remember when you were a handsome and dashing young man. How come you now have a touch of the vicissitudes that men in their forties or fifties like us are supposed to have?” Zhu Wangxing looked at Zhu Minglang and joked with a smile.

Well, it turns out that Mr. Jinli’s frequent remark about being “prematurely old” is actually true. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

“Not at all, I think Brother still looks very handsome. He has that kind of demeanor that’s gentle as jade and expansive as a clear sky. Hmm… just like Brother’s name. That day at the Camellia Gathering, a little princess and several young ladies were secretly asking me about Brother. Brother is really popular with the girls,” Zhu Rongrong said earnestly.

Zhu Minglang glanced at his cousin Zhu Rongrong, then at Zhu Wangxing.

Indeed, a cousin is a cousin; this uncle, though, seems like some distant relative who’s just blended in.

“Uncle Wangxing, have you heard any news lately about the Family Door?” Zhu Minglang asked.

The appearance of Zhao Yu had always left Zhu Minglang feeling uneasy.

This fellow was far from as simple as he appeared on the surface, young but sly and cunning.

“It’s been alright. The larger the clan, the more troubles there will be. We are far away in Qin City, and have always acted quite discreetly. It hasn’t been as bad as in the Imperial City… During the days I was in the Imperial City, I felt like there was poison in my tea whenever I drank outside. I don’t know how your father enjoys living in such a place. If it were me, I would either be killed by those old foxes within a year, or I’d go mad myself!” Zhu Wangxing said.

“Why talk about such things? We’d better discuss how to forge Dragon Armor instead,” Zhu Rongrong said, not too keen on such topics.

“Speaking of Dragon Armor, I was just about to seek Uncle’s advice on controlling the temperature and quenching process,” Zhu Minglang said.

The second greatest secret of the Little Inner Court was naturally in the hands of Zhu Wangxing, who knew more about it than anyone else.

“It’s not something that can be explained clearly in words. In a few days, I’ll be visiting our Secret Area, and you can come with me then,” Zhu Wangxing said.

“Dad, can I go too?” Zhu Rongrong asked with sparkling eyes.

“Have you done the task I assigned to you?”

“Of course, a whole bag of Wind Crystal Dandelions!”

“Alright, some of the clan’s inheritances should indeed be passed down to you too,” Zhu Wangxing nodded.

The Secret Area of the Little Inner Court?

It seemed that the Main Inner Court of the Dripping Lake also had a so-called Family Door Secret Area, but Zhu Minglang had never been there.

…

…

Three days had passed, and the time Zhu Minglang gave Zhu Huo was almost up.

In the courtyard, Zhu Minglang gathered a large bag of Wind Dandelion Crystal Grains, feeling that they had more uses and it was worth stocking up on them. The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon also needed practice; its speed and flying skills had improved significantly over the past few days. He guessed that the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon would have to spend some time catching the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

Before he could sit down, Zhu Huo’s voice came from outside the door.

“Young Master, I have found a person,” Zhu Huo said with a somewhat low voice, indicating that the person he discovered must be significant.

“Is it Zhao Yin Ge?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“You already know?” Zhu Huo said, surprised.

“Such tactics could only be expected from that good-for-nothing,” Zhu Minglang remarked coolly.

“The assassination attempt was indeed the work of Zhao Yin Ge, but I also found out about an even more important person. This man is the son of King An, An Qingfeng. This matter might also have a significant connection to him,” Zhu Huo said.

King An!!

Why is it that damned man again!

And his cursed son appeared in Qin City…
