Cultivation Pet Shop

As they were wondering what they should do now, Lin Fan saw a notification from the system.

"Special transport activated."

Lin Fan was very confused when he saw this, but he was shocked when he saw what the system meant by it.

It was a special one time teleportation for him and his companions to…a place that was near the Azure Dragon Tribe.

While it wouldn\'t bring them into the Azure Dragon Tribe, it would put them where they wanted to go.

Lin Fan couldn\'t help looking at the system prompt with a very strange look.

This seemed like too much of a coincidence…

But after he thought about it, he figured that it was actually quite normal…

This was the kind of thing that the system had been doing recently and since it was giving him this opportunity, there was no reason for him not to take it.

So he told everyone about the special transport.

The four that had contracts with the store couldn\'t help looking at their own panels and they found that they had received something similar.

As for the others, they went back into Lin Fan\'s pet storage space.

There was nothing to gain from them being outside when they teleported over to the Azure Dragon Tribe, so they wouldn\'t stay outside anymore.

But when they left, Qing Ao could only stare at Qing Bao Lan and Xiao Feng with a bitter look on his face.

Once everything was ready, Lin Fan activated the transportation and they were sent off by the system with a flash of white light.

When the white light cleared and they were able to see again, they found that they had been sent into a forest by a mountain.

Lin Fan turned to look at Hong Long who gave a nod in response, confirming that they were by the Azure Dragon Tribe.

This mountain was where the Azure Dragon Tribe made their home, so they would just have to climb up the mountain to arrive at where the Azure Dragon Tribe was. However, it wasn\'t as simple as going in through the front door.

They were here without notifying anyone and if they just went in the front door like that, it would cause a large commotion.

So they had to find a secret way into the Azure Dragon Tribe and find Qing Ao\'s father, who was the current head of the Azure Dragon Tribe.

Luckily, they had Hong Long with them.

Hong Long was close to Qing Ao\'s father and knew things about the Azure Dragon Tribe that other dragons wouldn\'t. That included secret entrances to the Azure Dragon Tribe\'s main residence.

He normally wouldn\'t use them since they were told to him in confidence, but this was different.

So he brought Lin Fan and the others to the other side of the mountain.

On the opposite side of the mountain, there was a cave there.

Inside of this cave, there wasn\'t much other than a dead end.

However, when they were at the end of this dead end, Hong Long suddenly pressed something on the wall. When he pressed this thing, there was a large sound that rang out before the wall started sliding out of the way.

After a while, the wall had completely slid to the side and a tunnel was revealed.

There were torches that were lining the walls of this tunnel, lighting it up for them to see.

However, there wasn\'t much to see since it was nothing more than a simple tunnel.

Hong Long led the way down the tunnel while the rest followed him.

As for why he led the way…it was because after walking for a bit, the tunnel split in two in front of them.

Without any hesitation, Hong Long took one of the paths that was in front of them. With the way that he went, it was clear that he knew which path was the right path.

As they went along, Hong Long explained that there were fake paths that had been added to this secret escape tunnel just in case there were intruders that found it. There were fake paths on both the way in and way out.

As they went through, they were able to come out of a few forks and see the fake paths for the people heading out of the Azure Dragon Tribe.

This tunnel was quite long and had many twists to it, so it took them quite a bit of time to make it through.

When they finally made it to the end, there was a luxurious looking door waiting there for them. This door was made completely of gold and was decorated with many jewels, making it very grand.

However, Hong Long ignored this door.

He went over to the side of the tunnel and pressed something on the wall, causing a secret tunnel to appear.

The door that was placed at the end of this tunnel was a trap just like the different forks. If one took this door, they would be brought to a room which had been laced with many different traps that would end their lives.

This was the final trap for intruders who made it all the way to the end of this tunnel.

After taking the secret tunnel, they arrived in a hidden room in the manor of the Azure Dragon Tribe\'s head.

This was a secret room that was in the depths of this manor that only the head would be able to access, but that didn\'t mean anything since they came in from the other side.

The only problem now was finding a way to contact the head, Qing Ao\'s father.

Since they had snuck into the manor and wanted to keep their presence hidden, it wasn\'t as if they could walk through the manor looking for him. They would be caught in no time with all the different experts who were wandering around this place.

So they had to find a way to call Qing Ao\'s father without alerting anyone.

In the end, it was Hong Long who gave the answer again.

He called out a Spatial Ring out of nowhere and then took out a token with the word "Qing" on it.

When Lin Fan saw the Spatial Ring that he called out, he couldn\'t help revealing a bitter smile.

At the same time, Hong Long also saw this smile and revealed an awkward look before explaining, "Well, there were a few secrets that you didn\'t know about me."

Lin Fan just gave a nod in response, but he didn\'t have a trace of blame in his expression.

He knew the reason why Hong Long had hidden this from him.

Hong Long had hidden this inside of his soul fragment the entire time, so no one had been able to take it from him.

As for why he hid it…it wasn\'t that he didn\'t trust Lin Fan. It was that he wanted to be prepared no matter what happened in the future.

It was impossible for him to guarantee that nothing would happen to Lin Fan.

So on the off chance that something did happen to Lin Fan, he would be prepared to run away.

After all, he couldn\'t die since he had the fate of the Dragon Race in his hands…or at least that\'s what he thought.

The token that he took out was one that Qing Ao\'s father had given him personally since they were old friends. As long as he injected it with life energy, he would be able to contact Qing Ao\'s father.

The token didn\'t respond right away, but when it did, a shocked voice suddenly said, "Old Hong, is that really you?"

Hong Long couldn\'t help revealing a smile when he heard this voice since it was a voice that he hadn\'t heard in a long time.

After a moment\'s pause, he said, "Old Qing, it really is me."

The shocked voice quickly turned serious and asked, "Where are you right now?"

Hong Long revealed an awkward smile and after a pause, he said, "Would you believe me if I said that I\'m in the secret room in your manor?"

There was only silence that greeted this answer before the other side said, "Are you being serious."

Hong Long just gave an awkward laugh before saying, "Un, it\'s true."

There was more silence that followed this before the other side said, "Wait, I\'m coming now."

Hong Long didn\'t forget to ask, "Come alone."

The other side said in an annoyed voice, "Do I need you to tell me that?"

Hong Long just gave a chuckle when he heard this, but he didn\'t say anything.

Even if he wanted to say anything, the token had already gone still and seemed like it had lost all power. It was clear that the other side had stopped using the token and was coming to where they were.

In less than five minutes, the door to the secret room suddenly opened and there was a person who was standing there.

That person looked in and the first thing he did was run up to Hong Long to take him in an embrace after seeing him.

As he hugged him, that person said, "Old Hong, it really is you! I never thought that I would see you again after that last war!"

Hong Long also had an emotional look on his face as he was being hugged by this person. He patted him on the back and said, "Old Qing, it really is me."

After taking a while to come back to his senses, that person separated from Hong Long and finally realized that there were others here.

Looking at Lin Fan and the others, that person asked, "Old Hong, who are these people?"
