The Night King: The Asura
Ch-180s. Meet grandfather
Her night.
"General, how did it go?"
"Until now, we still have not found any trace of the enemy, and most likely, they have all indeed vanished" the army general replied.
"Alright, but don't let your guard down, because they might still be hiding somewhere in this village."
"Okay, your highness!"
Although Xie Long had eliminated all the enemies there, Yuan Chun Zhe still ordered the soldiers to stand guard in turns, because there might still be remnants of the enemy forces there.
"The demon nation, I really did not expect that they would rise again," Yuan Chun Zhe muttered.
Ever since Lin Feng and his troops eliminated the demon nation, the Blue Continent could be said to be already completely safe from the threat of the forces of darkness, yet the events of today, made Yuan Chun Zhe feel a little worried.
Although what they encountered today was not entirely a demon nation, it did not mean that they could be left alone, because as time went on, it did not mean, their power will certainly increase and it is not impossible if they will become real demons.
"I must spread this news as soon as possible, otherwise this Blue Continent will again sink into the clutches of darkness."
Meanwhile.
The subconscious Xie Long.
When Xie Long was meditating, the same incident as before was repeated, and this time, he had already arrived at the vast expanse of grassland that was also the same as before.
"Lin Xie Long!"
Xie Long immediately turned his head when he heard his name being called, but this time, he immediately knelt down because he already knew who had come to see him.
"Lin Xie Long saluted grandfather" he said.
The man who was none other than Yuan Long was smiling at the attitude shown by his grandson, "Wake up my grandson," he said.
"Grandfather..."
"My granddaughter, you're so big now and grandpa's really sorry he just got to see you now."
Xie Long shook his head, "I'm actually very happy to see grandfather."
"really? Grandfather was also happy to be able to meet you" Lin Xie Long said.
"Grandfather, I'm sorry if your granddaughter is so presumptuous, but how can grandfather meet me?"
Yuan Long smiled at the question asked by his grandson, then he explained the reason why he could come to see Xie Long in his subconscious, but, there's really no way he can do that anymore.
Everyone who knew Yuan Long, of course, already knew that he had died a long time ago, but not everyone knew that his soul had not been completely wiped out, even Lin Feng himself was unaware of it.
The story begins when Yuan Long realizes that he is no longer possible to become a cultivator, then with the remnants of the strength he had back then, he stored some of his soul into the Dragon God sword using forbidden techniques.
The reason Yuan Long did that, was not because he wanted to be resurrected again, but that he did so so that in the future, he could still meet his descendants indirectly.
For many years trapped in the Dragon God sword, Yuan Long's soul finally rose when Lin Feng inherited the sword, but unfortunately, Lin Feng was not even aware of his father's soul's existence.
Although it had been resurrected by accident, Yuan Long's soul had to wait even longer, and finally, the long wait could be avenged when the twins were born into this world.
At that time, the infant Xie Long did not understand anything, but Yuan Long's soul could sense that his grandson was the only one who could inherit all his relics.
From that moment on, Yuan Long's soul was no longer inside the Dragon God sword, but rather moved into an object that was inside the twins' bodies, and after thirteen years had passed, it was only after the death of the dragon, only then could Yuan Long meet his grandson.

"The Dragon God Sword? You mean the sword grandpa you had on you?" ask Xie Long.
Yuan Long nodded in response to his grandson's question, "Now, grandfather will give you all of Grandfather's relics, and start from the special weapons that grandfather created himself."
"Special weapons?"
"Yes, but to get this weapon, you have to pass several stages of the test first, if you get through, this weapon will recognize you as its owner."
"Are you ready?"
"Of course, grandpa! I'll go through it and get a confession out of that gun!"
"Good, that's what grandfather expects of you" Yuan Long said.
"Now, close your eyes, grandfather will put everything in your ingata."
Xie Long nodded, then sat down in a meditative manner, then closed his eyes as instructed by his grandfather.
After Xie Long closed his eyes, Yuan Long then touched from his grandson with his index finger, then from Yuan Long's fingertips radiated light which directly entered into Xie Long's head.
Xie Long shouted loudly when various kinds of memories entered his head, causing pain that made his head feel like it was going to explode right then and there.
"Hold on, this process does hurt a little!" yuan Long said.
A few minutes passed, Yuan Long finally pulled the index finger that touched his grandson's forehead, along with that, the pain that Xie Long felt also started to slowly disappear.
"Grandfather has given everything, now it is time for us to part" Yuan Long said.
"I mean grandpa?"
"Long'er, grandfather has long since died and grandfather should have left this world."
"No! Grandpa, please don't go!"
"Long'er, grandfather will always watch over you from nature, and remember, don't let your grandfather down."
Following which, Yuan Long's soul slowly began to disappear from Xie Long's sight.
"Grandfather!"
"Grandfather, don't go!"
"Long'er, what happened?!"
Yuan Chun Zhe's voice made Xie Long come to a realization, his breathing was heard hunting like someone who had just experienced a nightmare, even his entire body was moistened by sweat.
"My granddaughter, why are you yelling? Did something happen to you?" asked Yuan Chun Zhe.
Xie Long was still silent without knowing what kind of answer to his great-grandfather, because he himself seemed still confused by what had just happened to him.
The event felt like a dream, but the pain in the head that he felt before, as well as the strange memories that were in his mind, made Xie Long sure that the incident was not a dream.
"Long'er, tell grandpa, what really happened to you?"
"I'm..." Xie Long seemed hesitant to explain what he had just experienced in his subconscious.
"You why?"
"I just met with grandfather" Xie Long replied.
Yuan Chun Zhe furrowed her brows at the words of her granddaughter, though she did not know the truth, but she was sure that her grandson was not lying to her.
"Yuan Long, what other mystery are you hiding from this old man?"
***
The Luo imperial palace.
The entire palace was made to splash when it heard the shouting sound from Xie Ling's room, even the servants and the palace soldiers who had been asleep were also awakened by the sound of such a loud cry.
"Ling'er, what happened to you, son? Why are you yelling?"
Luo Ning directly hugged the daughter to win herself over, despite not knowing what her daughter had experienced, yet Luo Ning was able to feel the fear felt by the daughter, she said, even her body still did not stop shaking as Luo Ning hugged her.
"I-mom, I-I..." It was very difficult for Xie Ling to explain what she had met, because the incident felt so real, when clearly she was sound asleep in her room.
"Ling'er, tell grandma, what scares you like this?" Lin Hua hugged her grandson.
"Grandfather..."
"Grandfather?"
Lin Hua and Luo Ning gasped in shock at Xie Ling's words, and for some reason, the two of them immediately thought of the same figure, which was Yuan Long.
"My granddaughter, did you dream of meeting your grandfather?" asked Lin Hua.
Xie Ling nodded, "I-it's not a dream grandma, everything feels very real and..."
"Calm down, just continue your story after you've completely calmed down" Luo Ning said.
"I-mom, grandma, you'll be with me."
Lin Hua and Luo Ning nodded together, "Alright, mom and grandma will accompany you."
The incident that befell the elder brother, was also experienced by Xie Ling who was in the imperial capital of Luo, and just as Xie Long who got the inheritance from their grandfather, Xie Ling also got it, too, it was just that the legacy they obtained were two different things.
"My husband, what other mystery are you hiding from me" murmured Lin Hua, without her noticing, a drop of water had come out from the corner of her eye.
