Golden Dragon Swordsman S2
Meet The Uncle

In the meeting, the Taoist Patriarch Lian had indeed offended Arya in the discussion. He told everyone in the meeting room about a swordsman who had just joined the Celestial Swordsman Alliance. The Taoist Patriarch Lian did not say if the swordsman was Physician Xian, but rather that he introduced him as the Golden Dragon Swordsman. The nickname he attached to Arya, because he witnessed for himself at the time of the birth of the child, which along with the birth of Li Xian he saw the appearance of the Golden Dragon in space.

Obviously everyone in the meeting place was made curious, because they had never heard of a Swordsman who had such a nickname. When they heard that the Golden Dragon Warrior had arrived in the Lightning Valley, they immediately requested that Patriarch Tao Lian meet them with the Swordsman.

The Taoist Patriarch Lian agreed to it, he said he would introduce the Golden Dragon Swordsman to all of them at the meeting tomorrow.

After disbanding the meeting, Patriarch Tao Lian and Elder Din Thai Fung headed to the room reserved for Arya. Although it has been told that Arya is still unconscious, Taoist Patriarch Lian still wants to see the young man. He was already impatient to make sure that Arya was the son of his adopted sister, Li Hongyi.

In a state of unconsciousness, Arya like being pulled into another world. He saw a series of events in the mass of the Golden Dragon God Emperor. Starting from the beginning of the creation of the universe, a fierce battle with the monsters and Demon God Ashura, until the breakup of the spirit of the Golden Dragon God Emperor which ended in his own reincarnation.

Huang She, Princess Ming Yu Hua and the three brothers saw the strangeness in Arya's body lying on the bed. They watched as the young man's body glowed golden and then lifted up floating in the air.

Frantically afraid that something might happen to Arya, Huang She tried to grab onto the young man's body. But only a few jengkal he jumped, his body slammed against the wall of the room until it collapsed.

The incident made the three brothers frightened, unconsciously they inched backwards with trembling bodies.

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen to her." Princess Ming Yu Hua said as she continued to observe Arya's body shrouded in light as a Golden Dragon wrapped around the young man's body.

The event lasted a few minutes before everything went dark, along with the consciousness of Princess Ming Yu Hua and the three brothers who also disappeared, aka fainting.

Patriarch Tao Lian and Elder Din Thai Fung knocked on the door asking for permission to enter, but while waiting they did not get an answer from within. They then forced their way in and found everyone in the room lying on the floor, except for Arya who was lying quietly on the bed. But strangely the wall that had collapsed had returned intact, as if nothing had happened before.

"Maybe they're exhausted.." Mumbled the elder Din Thai Fung, even so he approached and examined them all one by one.

The Taoist patriarch Lian walked slowly and stopped right on the right side of the Aryan bed. "Sister Li, your son Xian'er has returned." She said softly with teary eyes.

Arya's fingers moved and then her eyes opened.

"Xian.."

Arya turned her head, despite never meeting the man, but from Li Xian's memories, she knew him as Uncle Toa Lian, who was a very close friend, a person who used to never despair in training his deformed self without a Dantian.

"Uncle Lian.." Arya tried to sit down.

The Taoist Patriarch Lian swiftly helped to seat Arya. "Are you our Xian'er?” Although the Taoist Patriarch Lian found Arya resemblance to Nie Xun the wife of Li Hongyi, but the Taoist Patriarch Lian felt the need to confirm it directly from the young man.

Arya nodded. "Sorry uncle if I just come back now."

"Ah there's no need to think about it, instead I feel relieved and very happy to see you still alive, Xian'er." Patriarch Tao Lian smiled warmly and then asked. "But how can you form your dantian?"

Arya then tells about the death of Li Xian's parents, and about him who was saved by an old grandfather when he fell into the abyss of death.

"I'm lucky uncle, Zhen Long's grandfather saved me at that moment. He also raised me to be his adopted grandson, and taught me various sciences so that I could become like this."

"It is unexpected that behind the calamity that befalls you, it turns out that the Almighty blesses you with great gifts." The Taoist patriarch Lian smiled but looked sorrowfully from the glare of his eyes as he looked at Arya.

Arya then took out a painting of someone she had painted a long time ago while still on the brink of death. "Did my uncle recognize this man?"

The Taoist Patriarch Lian observed the figure in the painting and then nodded slowly. "Xu Zhong's.. Did he kill your parents?"

Actually Patriarch Tao Lian had already suspected the culprit behind Li Hongyi's death and Nie Xun was Xu Zhong, yet he did not get any solid evidence. All of that was just a guess because he knew Xu Zhong harbored hatred for the two, especially after Li Hongyi and Nie Xun formalized their relationship in the marriage bond.

"Yes uncle, this is the man who killed them. Does uncle know where he is?"

"I don't think the flames of jealousy have turned a good person into a bad one." The Taoist Patriarch Lian bathed while clenching his hands.

"Xu Zhong had been a member of the Lotus Sword Sect, but a few years ago he had disappeared and was not known of his whereabouts until now." Clearly Patriarch Tao Lian.

"Would uncle help me find out where that guy is.. They'll have to pay the price for my parents' deaths anyway."

"Without you asking I'll look for it, even if it needs to get to the end of the world." Taoist Patriarch Lian said in a heavy tone, his mind was now filled with anger, he was determined that the death of his adoptive sister Li Hongyi and Nie Xun should be avenged.

"Uncle, I still remember some people who attacked my parents. I'll paint his face and show it to uncle."

"All right,.." Patriarch Tao Lian let out a heavy sigh. "Xian'er. As I recall your mother gave you a blue dew jade necklace, and there's a birthmark on your back. Can I see it." Despite believing the young man before him was Li Xian the son of his adopted brother Li Hongyi, however, Patriarch Tao Lian felt the need to strengthen his beliefs.

Arya smiled and then took off the necklace she was wearing, then gave it to Patriarch Tao Lian. Afterwards, he also took off his clothes so that Patriarch Tao Lian could see the birthmark that was on his back.

Patriarch Tao Lian nodded after examining the blue dew jade necklace. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw the birthmark on Arya's back now almost filled the surface of her skin. A tatoo-like birthmark pictured with a nine-headed Dragon. Now the birthmark is emitting a golden radiance.

****** 

Outside Protective Shield. A human figure perched on the tree branch with his eyes fixed on the Lightning Valley headquarters from a distance.

"So it's true to be here.." The figure smiled and then flashed away.

Patriarch Tao Lian recounted before Nie Xun became the Elder of the Lightning Valley Sect. Nie Xun and his mother were forced to flee because they had killed Emperor Wei Heng. For years Nie Xun and her mother disguised themselves and hid to avoid the mercenaries and soldiers who wanted her dead. But in the end Nie Xun had to be willing to see his mother's death at the hands of the Imperial courtiers. 

Feeling that his life in the Yun Empire was becoming increasingly uneasy, Nie Xun then decided to leave the Yun Empire territory, hoping to start a new peaceful life in the Ming Empire. 

After Emperor Wei Heng died, the seat of power of the Yun Empire was replaced by the Emperor's younger brother, Wei Yanshio. And later it was discovered that Wei Yanshio was the mastermind behind the killing of the Emperor, Wei Heng.

Although the truth had been revealed, no one dared to overthrow Wei Yanshio from the position of Emperor, because with the power he had, he threatened to finish off anyone who dared to rebel. Moreover, he had also gained the support of nearly half of the black-flow sects that existed in the Yun empire.

For many years Nie Xun lived in the Ming empire. Until at one time he joined to register himself so that he could become a disciple of the Lightning Valley Sect. Fate then brought Nie Xun and Li Hongyi together under the guidance of the same teacher, until finally the seeds of love arose between them.

Arya just quietly listened, actually she did not care much about the mass of the mother of the body she was wearing. But because he was currently living by using Li Xian's body, which was also part of the Golden Dragon God Emperor spirit shard just like him. Arya felt a sense of responsibility and also needed to respect her parents as well as those close to Li Xian.

"It's like you're not interested in my story." Taoist Patriarch Lian felt a little disappointed, actually the purpose of telling the story of Nie Xun only to familiarize himself with his adopted nephew who had been almost ten years he had been looking for his existence.

"Xian'er, actually this blue dew jade necklace is a relic from a lost kingdom in the Yun empire. According to your mother's explanation, there's something inside this necklace that could open a secret place in the kingdom." Patriarch Tao Lian returned the blue dew jade necklace to Arya.

"The lost kingdom?"

"According to the story, the kingdom once existed but suddenly vanished like in the swallow of the earth. Your mother is one of the descendants of that kingdom, which is why this necklace is in your mother's hands." Patriarch Tao Lian took a breath then resumed. "Your mother is like my own sister, she already thinks of me as her family. Your mother once told me about the secret of her ancestors, she said that this necklace would lead someone to get the five pieces of Legendary Heirloom."

Arya simply nodded, she had absolutely no interest in the heirloom that Patriarch Tao Lian spoke of. Already many heirlooms that he has, so he feels no need to add to the collection of his inheritance.

"Lately many people have been talking about the Legendary Heirloom, I'm worried that the heirloom will fall into the wrong hands."

"As long as this necklace is on me, there's nothing to worry about, uncle." Arya said calmly.

"Indeed the necklace was the key to unlocking the lost royal secret room, but your mother said there was another way to open the secret room. It is by solving the ancient riddles that are there. And I'm sure many people are currently searching for the existence of the lost kingdom."

"Why do people like to hang power on heirlooms..." Arya muttered while shaking her head slowly.

"Haha... Of course they want to gain great power the easy and fast way." The Taoist patriarch Lian chuckled lightly over Aryan innocence.

The Taoist Patriarch Lian then tells the story of the God who exterminated all life beings in the past, including the Destroying Sun Heirloom which is believed to have great power that can shake the world, even destroy the lives of all mankind.

"Although it is only a story that cannot be ascertained the truth, but at least we must also act. If that heirloom were true, this world would be even more chaotic."

Arya nodded, she also hid some heirlooms with her in order for the heirloom not to fall into the wrong hands.

"Uncle frankly to me, I feel uncle believes the heirloom exists because uncle knows the existence of one of them."

The words of Arya made the Taoist Patriarch Lian slightly choked but he quickly calmed down.

"Did your parents ever tell you that?" Asked Patriarch Tao Lian to investigate.

Arya naturally could not tell the truth if she had read the mind of the Taoist Patriarch Lian. With a little confusion, he nodded slowly.

Patriarch Tao Lian showed an expression of disbelief. Because after all this secret only a handful of Lightning Valley people knew, he and Li Hongyi were entrusted with the previous Lightning Valley Patriarch to keep this secret from anyone.

"What did your parents say to you?" The Taoist patriarch Lian asked through telepathy. He did not want this secret to be known to the people in the room, including his own best friend, the elder Din Thai Fung.

Arya smiled faintly when she heard the voice of the Taoist Patriarch Lian in her mind, and she replied. "One of the legends' heirlooms is here."

The Taoist Patriarch Lian was so shocked, his eyes widened and his forehead shriveled thickly. His face looks older than before. Although I had thought that Arya could communicate through energy waves, knowing it straight away was a different matter. Moreover, Arya said something that she never thought at all.

"I'm sure there's no way Li Hongyi would tell you this. Even if you're his own son." Sergey Patriarch Tao Lian is still through telepathy.

"Sorry uncle, I didn't mean to lie to uncle. But even though I already know the truth, uncle trust me, I have no intention of seizing the heirloom."

Patriarch Tao Lian let out a long sigh. "I believe you, Xian'er. But I'm asking, don't tell anyone this."

"I promise you uncle, I'll keep this a secret, even if my life is at stake." Arya swore by raising her one hand up.

Patriarch Tao Lian smiled and could breathe a sigh of relief. "Actually your father and I were assigned to destroy the inheritance so as not to wreak havoc on the sect or the whole world." Patriarch Tao Lian took a pause, then glanced at the elder Din Thai Fung who seemed to be draining his energy to resuscitate Huang She and the others.

"Don't destroy it, touch that heirloom alone we can't. It had been several generations of the Lightning Valley Sect that had attempted to destroy it, but until recently it was an heirloom..." The Taoist Patriarch Lian stopped his speech.

"Does that heirloom have a powerful uncle's spirit?" Ask Arya through telepathy.

"Either Xian'er, but according to the elders, the heirloom spirit was in the form of a pure power spirit, unlike most heirlooms in general."

Arya nodded, a little bit she knew about it. "If uncle allows it, I'll try to destroy it."

The Taoist patriarch Lian was once again made to frown, he was a little suspicious that Arya would violate his beliefs and intend to steal the heirloom. But after recalling the message from the Moon Goddess who said if the young man before her was someone who would bring peace in the world, the Taoist Patriarch Lian nodded in agreement.
