Chapter 856: Chapter 856: The New Master of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace
Staring in the direction where Long Mengdie disappeared, Zhu Fei’s expression became exceedingly complex.
He never would have thought that Long Mengdie, now so powerful and unfathomable, was actually the reincarnation of Lian’er, the seemingly ordinary girl who was tragically run over by a carriage and passed away back then.
Indeed, the two words Long Mengdie spoke to Zhu Fei earlier were "Lian’er."
Back when Zhu Fei was still in the Kunlun Xuan Realm, just a humble Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had saved a girl named Lian’er from a malicious woman named Xiahou Rui.
However, at that time, Zhu Fei’s cultivation was weak. Although he saved Lian’er, her life was lost, and he could only watch helplessly as she perished in his arms, ultimately turning into fragments of light.
Afterward, Zhu Fei encountered a mysterious person named Uncle Long.
Uncle Long not only gave him a secret magical treasure but also told him that Lian’er’s background was not simple, and her demise was a necessary reincarnation tribulation.
Years have passed, and while he never saw Uncle Long again, he formed a close friendship with Lian’er’s reincarnation, now known as Long Mengdie.
No wonder since the first time he met Long Mengdie, she showed an exceptionally friendly attitude towards him; the fundamental reason was right here.
Although Zhu Fei now had a general understanding of Long Mengdie’s situation,
the confusion that Long Mengdie brought to Zhu Fei only increased.
For example, what is Long Mengdie’s true identity? Why did she have to experience a reincarnation tribulation back then? Even her attitude towards him, Zhu Fei felt, might not be as simple as he thought.
As Zhu Fei was engrossed in pondering matters related to Long Mengdie, beside him, unconsciously appeared an old man in a black robe.
Seeing this old man, Zhu Fei’s pupils slightly constricted, and he subconsciously exclaimed, "Uncle Long!"
Yes, the old man who appeared beside Zhu Fei was indeed the long-lost Uncle Long!
However, unlike before, Uncle Long’s face was no longer obscured and revealed his true appearance!
Uncle Long appeared kindly, looking at Zhu Fei with eyes full of appreciation.
"Hmm, not bad. As expected, Miss’s vision is as sharp as ever and made no mistake."
Hearing these somewhat cryptic words from Uncle Long, Zhu Fei showed a hint of confusion, just as he was about to inquire, Uncle Long chuckled and interrupted:
"Haha, I came here to follow after Miss. There are some issues she hasn’t told you clearly, and I won’t either, but I can tell you that Miss’s origin far exceeds your current imagination."
As he spoke, Uncle Long suddenly took out a dragon-shaped sword from his belongings and handed it to Zhu Fei with a smile:
"Zhu Fei, this Dragon God Sword is the treasured artifact of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace. From now on, you are the new master of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace. How to handle the current people of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace is entirely up to you. Miss and I will wait above until the day we stand side by side."
After speaking, without waiting for Zhu Fei’s reply, Uncle Long handed the Dragon God Sword to Zhu Fei, then nodded with a smile and bid farewell.
In the blink of an eye, Uncle Long’s figure disappeared from this world, just like Long Mengdie, enveloped in a rainbow glow.
Looking in the direction Uncle Long disappeared, feeling the coldness from the Dragon God Sword in his hand, Zhu Fei’s heart was filled with gravity.
He vaguely felt that Long Mengdie and Uncle Long’s departure was not towards the legendary Immortal Realm but elsewhere.
Recalling Uncle Long’s words, Zhu Fei’s eyes gradually became resolute.
No matter what, Long Mengdie’s goodwill towards him was unquestionable.
Since that is the case, when he reaches their level, he will certainly not let them down.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Fei quickly set his mind and sped towards the direction of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace.
According to the information Long Mengdie provided, Avana is now in seclusion at a place called the Dragon God Guards within the Dragon God Heavenly Palace.
He needed to first check on Avana, the old acquaintance from the Vacuum Domain, and then decide how to deal with matters concerning the Dragon God Heavenly Palace.
...
Several days later, Zhu Fei and Avana were sitting in the Palace Master Hall of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace, looking seriously at the cultivators below.
Behind them stood a man in a black robe with an extremely indifferent expression.
This person was none other than Long Hao, whom Long Mengdie had assigned to protect Avana before leaving.
Just a few days ago, when Zhu Fei arrived inside the Dragon God Heavenly Palace with the Dragon God Sword, he immediately used forceful means to slay Ao Yuan and the loyal old minions of the Dragon Emperor.
After a reorganization, the cultivators of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace had mainly accepted that Zhu Fei was their new master.
There was no choice but to accept; after all, Zhu Fei’s strength far surpassed theirs.
Moreover, Zhu Fei held the treasured Dragon God Sword of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace, and with the support of Avana and Long Hao, there was simply no room for resistance.
"I now announce that from this moment on, Avana will be the new Goddess of the Dragon God Heavenly Palace."
At this moment, Zhu Fei’s authoritative voice suddenly resonated throughout the Palace Master Hall.
After surveying the crowd below, confirming there were no objections, Zhu Fei left the hall with Avana without saying more.
...
"Brother Zhu, are you leaving now?"
Back at Avana’s original retreat location, Avana looked at Zhu Fei with some reluctance, speaking with a tone of reluctance.
Zhu Fei smiled slightly, raised his hand to touch Avana’s hair, and without hiding it, nodded:
"That’s right, I left somewhat abruptly this time, and I should almost go back; besides, I have a lot of things to do and can’t stay here indefinitely."
At this, Zhu Fei suddenly seemed to think of something and turned to Avana:
"By the way, Avana, I heard that Sister Long transferred all her intelligence networks to you?"
Avana nodded, a bit puzzled, "Yes, that’s true. Why, Brother Zhu, is there something you need?"
Zhu Fei took a deep breath, drawn a few light images in front of Avana, and pointed to them:
"Avana, could you do me a favor? See if there are any traces of these people on our Xuanhuang Continent."
