Chương 191: The Golden dragon jade token

Two days later, the entire Long clan finally settled down completely in the valley. The overall state of the valley wasn't changed and even the buildings where the Lei clan lived weren't changed, only improved with some new palaces and halls being built. With the resources left behind by the Lei clan, the Long clan completely focused on building it's strength.

Almost all the clan disciples were either cultivating or listening to lectures from either the old clan chief who was now the supreme elder of the clan or Long Yuan, the clan chief. Coupled with the ambient natural energies in the valley, Long Feng was confident that in a year or two, the Long clan will have it's first group of spirit realm cultivators. Who knows? It could even be his father. At this moment, he was finally ready to leave and return to the Mortal heaven sect.

After all, the main reason he came to the star mountain city was to settle the Long clan down and keep them out of danger. Now that he had achieved this, there was naturally nothing holding him back here. The night before he left, Long Yuan and the old clan chief gathered only a few elders and clan members to meet Long Feng in his room that night. The old clan chief mainly spoke, advising him and constantly reminding him on somethings. Long Feng listened and repeatedly nodded with a warm smile.

Long Yuan stood behind the old clan chief and stared at Long Feng with a faint smile.

"The Long clan is stronger than it has ever been right now. With this land, we will only get stronger. The clan is safe" Long Feng nodded.

"Then I'll be leaving by tomorrow, father, grandfather" The other elders also praised him and wished him luck before they all left the room. When only the old clan chief, Long Yuan and Long Feng were left in the room, Long Yuan called out to him,"Feng'er!" Long Feng paused,"Yes father?"

"I have something to tell you…" Long Yuan spoke and paused, seeming slightly hesitant. Long Feng prepared to listen attentively, probably to a word or two of advice from his father. But his father's next words left him shaken and confused.

"Regarding your family_" Long Yuan added. Long Feng paused, dumbfounded, and it showed on his face.

"My family? You mean…"

"That's right, your real family, your parent. I've thought over this several times before I finally decided to tell you. My father also agreed that you deserved to know. You are getting stronger and stronger. It's time you knew somethings." Long Yuan nodded, as if he could read Long Feng's mind. Long Feng looked conflicted for a moment before he spoke.

"I don't want to know. In this life, you're my father and this is my clan. Nothing will change that. I do not want to know anything" Long Yuan smiled.

"I understand what you mean, and I feel personally would have preferred to keep this away from you, to keep you tired up to this clan, but my concious would never find peace if I do that. When I think of your mother, worried about you, I just can't bring myself to do that. Your parent are out there somewhere and you are duty bound to find them" Long Feng remained silent, having nothing to say in response. Long Yuan was right.

Back them, Wu Kong had mentioned that his parent were put in a spot due to him and had no choice but to leave him here, for his safety. His previous thoughts were wrong. Seeing that Long Feng understood, Long Yuan continued,"Back then, I traveled alot. I travelled to various cities in four provinces before I settled down and got married to someone from a prominent clan in another province" at this point, Long Yuan smiled, obviously remembers some good memories. Long Feng also chuckled.

"You brat, how is it getting married to? You obviously ran away with someone's daughter on her engagement day!" The old clan chief spoke up angrily.

"Ran away with a lady on her engagement day? Father really did that?" Long Feng was astonished. The first impression his father gave someone was a gentleman, an easy going person. Long Feng never expected that he was so frivolous when he was younger. Truly, you can't judge a book by its cover! This sentence was true in this case. Long Yuan blushed.

"That's not true. Father, you can't slander me. I didn't run away with her on her engagement day. She ran away with me on her engagement day. I'm innocent!" His argument left both listeners speechless and the old clan chief couldn't find anything to say to him. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Impressive! Father, I'm beginning to admire you more!" Long Feng gave his father thumbs up. Long Yuan laughed and continued,"Back then, I returned to the clan with her. I became the clan chief shortly after that. She died a few years later after giving birth to a child" Long Yuan sighed softly as pain flashed through his eyes. Long Feng didn't know what to say, so he asked about the child. But Long Yuan seemed even more sorrowful at the mention of the child.

The old clan chief glanced at the saddened Long Yuan and spoke,"The child followed his mother a few months later""Oh" Long Feng fell silent, lost for words.

"It's alright, it's all in the past" Long Yuan looked up and spoke.

"Back to the story, back then, I was quite shaken. I left the clan in a daze, a subconscious state and wandered away. I can't remember much of what happened, I wandered about for months without knowing where I was, still in that subconscious state." Long Feng was already sweating buckets for Long Yuan. It was a miracle that he was alive after wandering around for months subconsciously. Some heartless people would have just killed him, or beasts, or anything of the sort.

"Now that I think about it, I was truly lucky to have survived that trauma. As for how I regained consciousness, …" Long Yuan paused as great unease and fear appeared in his eyes. Long Feng was quick to notice this, and he frowned, wondering what could cause this reaction. He could see that Long Yuan's entire body and even his soul was shivering in fear and helplessness. It was almost similar to when Long Feng faced the yin monarchs and the powerhouses from the four region's four dynasties.

It was pure despair, only that Long Yuan's own was much more intense.

"Back then… I suddenly felt an immense sense of danger. It was merely a feeling, but I was almost killed merely by this feeling. My veins and meridians instantly shattered and… my dantian almost got destroyed." Long Yuan shuddered.

"I tried to run, but my body just wouldn't obey. It felt as though I was a spectator in my own body! You might not believe this, I can't believe it too even after I witnessed it, but all of a sudden, the area a few hundred meters away, the space suddenly tore apart like a fabric, and a terrifying aura leaked out and spread. The tear was so large that it could be seen by everyone in a city nearby. It was like two invisible huge hands thrust into the space and ripped the space apart right before my eyes!"

As Long Yuan said this, one could see the disbelief and doubt in his eyes. Long Feng's mind Immediately thought of Wu Kong. Wu Kong was able to cause tears in space by just standing there.

"What happened after that?" Long Feng held his breath and waited anxiously.

"That's the main problem. I don't know what happened after that" Long Yuan replied.

"How's that possible? You fell unconscious?" Long Feng asked.

"No. How do I explain this, I know what happened, but I can't remember what it is. It's like someone intentionally erased out whatever happened after that from my mind!" Long Yuan's words were mind blowing and terrifying and few people in the continent would believe him, but Long Yuan knew that this was the truth. Long Feng also didn't doubt him since he had seen more scary things. After all, Wu Kong could read your thoughts! What could be more scary than that?

In comparison, wiping away someone's memory was much more believable. The question was, who would bother to wipe away Long Yuan's memory? Since the person was strong enough to do that, why didn't he just kill him if he wanted to hide a secret? Why go through the trouble?

"But who will do something like that? If you had seen something you shouldn't have, it would be even easier to kill you. At least, that's what most would do." Long Feng asked in confusion. Long Yuan and the old clan chief exchanged glances.

"We both have an idea. Back then, all I remember is that I left the area and continued wandering around. A few miles away, at the foot of a nearby mountain, I ran into a tiny child who looked only a few days old, wrapped up and abandoned there, You. I was startled, as I could swear that the aura that leaked out of the space tear was powerful enough to kill all those below the connate realm nearby, not to mention a few days old child. Yet there you were, alive and kicking, an anomaly.

Reminded me of my wife and child, I decided to take you. That's how you found yourself in the Long clan." Long Feng was quite speechless. There was nothing about his parent in this story as Long Yuan had claimed earlier. Long Yuan paused for moment before he continued.

"At that time, I found this with you. You would think that I named you, but that isn't true. All I did was follow the name someone gave you" as he spoke, he took out something from his void ring, a token. The moment the token appeared, a powerful pressure spread out of it. The pressure didn't inflict harm on any of them, but it was still terrifying enough to make them shiver. The palm sized Jade token was pale gold.

On the front of the token, a huge golden coiled dragon was carved, the giant maw opened wide and the name "Dragon Clan" was written in an overbearing way in the mouth of the dragon and the back of the token had the name "Long Feng" boldly written powerfully. The token was perfect In every way, looking like an artwork of nature and it seemed to contain complex mysteries that no one could ever peer into. Long Feng was instantly entranced as he stared at this Jade token.

He felt a strange pulse in his body, in his blood that was compelling him to touch the token, to hold it.

"Here" Long Yuan sensed Long Feng's yearning for the token and threw it over to him. Long Feng grabbed the token and suddenly felt the world shake. A terrifying dragon roar resounded in his ears as the coiled dragon on the token seemed to come to life and stare at him majestically. Long Feng felt his blood boiling as he held the token and stared into the eyes of the dragon. A moment later, everything returned to normal and he felt Long Yuan and the old clan chief's eyes on him.

"You didn't see that? Both of you?" Long Feng saw the curiosity in their eyes and asked. Earlier, he felt the world clearly shake and the dragon on the token came to life. Was it all an illusion?

"See what?" Long Yuan asked in confusion.

"We didn't see anything" the old clan chief also spoke.

"Then only I saw it? An illusion?" Long Feng muttered. He quickly described what happened to Long Yuan and the old clan chief who were both shocked after listening.

"How can a drawing come to life?" Long Yuan asked. He didn't doubt Long Feng, only that this was too shocking for him to believe.

"I have no idea. There are many things we know nothing of in this world" Long Feng stared at the token and spoke softly. These words were meant for both Long Yuan and himself.

"Forget it. I'm getting old. I won't bother myself with these things that infinitely surpass my imaginations. Feng'er, we have given you all we can. This token might be of help to you in the future. When you leave tomorrow, you must remember to take care of yourself." The old clan chief shook his head and sighed.

"Father is right. Feng'er, any situation you find yourself, you should remember that you have a family in us, and somewhere out there, your parent are also waiting for you. You can't go around risking your life. Take care of yourself" Long Yuan added. Long Feng listened to their advice and took them to heart. Right now, a new mission had taken root in his heart; to grow strong enough to find out everything that happened back then, the truth and why he ended up in this place. He also wanted to find his parent.

As for what would happen after that, well, he would cross that bridge when he reached it. After Long Yuan and the old clan chief left, Long Feng sat quietly deep in thought. Long clan. I'm actually from a dragon clan. Was it all a coincidence or did someone intentionally made me come to this Long clan here? And is it a real dragon clan or merely a name? If it's a clan of real dragons, it could explain the existence of these three big guys in my dantian. But if that's all, then where exactly does Wu Kong fit in?

What really happened back then? Long Feng was confused at this moment. He seemed to have an inexplicable connection with Wu Kong, a mysterious being of unfathomable power. Luckily, Wu Kong didn't seem to have any enmity or problem with him and even accepted Long Feng as his disciple. Based on what Long Feng's thoughts, the three dragons in his dantian were the connecting link. But now, he wasn't so sure. If the three dragons came from his parent, then where did Wu Kong fit in? What was his objective?

Suddenly remembered that Wu Kong could read his thoughts, Long Feng immediately put these thoughts aside. He stared at the gold Jade token for a long while before he put it aside and went to sleep. These mysteries were far beyond what he could fathom right now. When he was strong enough to understand, everything would naturally be clear to him. Right now, he needed to focus on getting stronger. As he wasn't even in the mood to cultivate this night.

Since he was leaving tomorrow, he might as well get a good night's sleep now.
