Xie Long's journey through Feng's empire had already nearly reached its peak, although it had yet to fully encircle the empire, yet at this moment, he was already close to reaching the border between the Eastern and Southern regions.
More precisely, the current Xie Long was close to reaching a city that Lin Feng had once visited, namely the city of Yumin. But his journey must be stopped because it requires a break while returning his energy, because, he had just finished fighting with a high-level Beast.
During the meditation, Xie Long's concentration was again disturbed by the embodiment of Asura's power within him, and just like before, he was still trying to persuade Xie Long to use his power, but unfortunately, he was still trying to persuade Xie Long to use it, his efforts did not even produce any results.
"Lin Xie Long, the firmness of your heart is indeed very extraordinary, but until when can you withstand this real strength of yours?"
"As time goes by, you will definitely encounter problems that make you have to use this power of hatred" the figure murmured.
The subconscious Xie Long.
"Lin Xie Long"
The voice of someone calling out his name was clearly heard in Xie Long's ears, but thinking if the voice came from the Asura power figure within him, he would rather ignore the voice.
"Lin Xie Long!"
The voice was heard again, but it was much clearer than before and felt very close to him, but Xie Long was still trying to ignore the voice, because he did not want his meditation to be interrupted.
"Xie Long, open your eyes."
This time, Xie Long absolutely could not help but open his eyes and stop his meditation, as he felt someone's hand had touched his shoulder.
Xie Long who was still thinking if it was an Asura power figure, then stood up and was about to throw his punch, but his movements came to a halt when he saw the figure of the man in front of him was not a figure within him.
"Who are you?" ask Xie Long.
The mysterious man smiled at Xie Long, then said, "Come to the Yuan empire, then you will find out who I really am" then, the figure disappeared without a trace.
"Yuan Empire? Wasn't that the empire led by great-grandfather? But who is that guy?"
Xie Long touched her shoulder, exactly where the mysterious man touched her before disappearing, "The touch of her hand is really warm and soothing" she murmured.
While thinking about the mysterious man, Xie Long only realized that he was in a different place than before, a vast expanse of grassland.
"Where else is this?"
"Huh" Xie Long let out a long sigh, "it looks like this place is inside my own subconscious" he muttered, then closed both his eyes.
At the same time, Xie Long who was meditating in the forest opened his eyes, but he still thought about the words of the mysterious man who came to him before, and for some reason, he was still thinking, he suddenly had a great desire to come to the South.
Since his energy had already recovered, Xie Long decided to continue on his journey, he who previously had no definite purpose, finally chose the Southern region as his next destination.
In addition to being curious about the mysterious man who met him, Xie Long also wanted to meet his great-grandfather there, after all, he had not seen his great-grandfather for very long, the distance between East and South is very far.
"Grandfather, I'm coming!" xie Long said, then darted away from the place.
***
As time passed, Xie Long had now arrived at Yumin City, a city with a very different atmosphere and environment to the other cities, because of this Blue Continent, only the city of Yumin presents a direct view of the sea.
"This city is so beautiful" muttered Xie Long.
Meanwhile.
From a distance there was a man who was watching Xie Long, since he came to the city of Yumin, the man always noticed him, occasionally he seemed to want to approach Xie Long and invite him to talk, but he even abandoned that intention.
Xie Long who was also aware of the existence of the man finally chose to go to him, because since coming, he had already felt the existence of a pair of eyes that were watching him, he had already felt, but he ignored her because that gaze did not have the slightest hatred.
"Uncle, what made uncle follow me since?" ask Xie Long.
"Pardon me, Young Master, I didn't mean to bother you, but your face is really similar to my friend" the man replied.
"really? What was the name of that uncle's friend?" xie Long asked curiously.
"His name was Lin Feng, he came from the Eastern region, did Young Master know him?"
Xie Long nodded and smiled, "Uncle, I not only know the person that uncle means, even I recognize him very much, because he is my father."
The man looked surprised, but then he laughed out loud, "Hahaha, you deserve to look so much like him."
"I introduce you, my name is Qiao Chen, your father's friend and brother."
Xie Long who heard the man's explanation was surprised, because before, Xie Long had thought that the man was only one of his fathers, but who would have thought if he was his father's brother as well.
"Lin Xie Long saluted the uncle" Xie Long said as he bowed, but his body was held back by Qiao Chen.
"Friends! Look, who's coming to our town!?"
Qiao Chen shouted loudly, then dozens of men who were busy with their respective activities, suddenly stopped and immediately turned their heads towards Xie Long and Qiao Chen.
"Listen to me! He is Lin Xie Long, the son of our brother, Lin Feng!"
The men smiled happily, then they approached Xie Long and bowed to him, "Our respect, Young Master!" say everything in unison.
Xie Long smiled awkwardly as he had never received this kind of treatment before, even though he was an imperial family, but it was extremely rare to receive such treatment.
It was not that no one recognized him, but he strictly prohibited the imperial residents from bowing their heads to him, because in his opinion, he did not deserve their respect yet.
"Everyone, please lift your body, I do not deserve this kind of treatment" said Xie Long who also bowed his body.
"Long'er, don't talk like that, you're Lin's nephew, so we should respect you like we respect your father" said Qiao Chen.
"Friends! Give this news to the others, tonight we'll party at my house!" qiao Chen.
"Okay, captain!"
After that, Qiao Chen took Xie Long to his house, so that they could have a comfortable chat, after all, he was sure Xie Long needed a break after a long trip.
