Chapter 11: Wang Tiantang

Dragon Nation

In a Magnificent Mansion, A man sat of a throne. He had a pensive expression. He was the emperor of Dragon Empire, Wang Tiantang!

"Emperor! Your Scouts have returned!" Said a guard rushing into the throne room.

"Hmmm, Send them in. Quickly!" Wang Tiantang responded with urgency. His mind was in a sad and angry state. Wang Tiantang had a close relation with the Zhu Clan, even the princess was supposed to be engaged with Zhu Long when they reached the age of 18.

Wang Tiantang was a righteous man. He had great morals and didn't care about strength in people but about their Heart. If a person had a good heart, Wang Tiantang would keep them close but if they were evil and vile, He would punish them. That is also the reason Wang Tiantang liked Zhu Long. Even of Zhu Long couldn't cultivate, he didn't care. He always cared for Zhu Long as he had seen him grow up with Saint Zhu.

Wang Tiantang and Saint Zhu were always great friends. Even their age gap wasn't much. So, it had pained him tremendously when Wang Tiantang heard that the Zhu Family had been annihilated leaving the ones who were outside around that time alive. He had sent the most powerful scouts under his control to search for any clues regarding the attackers and also for some survivors.

One man walked into the throne room as Wang Tiantang was in deep thought. Hearing his footsteps, Wang Tiantang looked at the man with hope in his eyes.

"Emperor, W.... We checked every inch of The Zhu Estate but in vain. There weren't any survivors but we did find a voice talisman. I think it maybe from Saint Zhu." The scout looked disappointing.

"Shandian, you did all you could. I am greatful. You can go back to the others, I need to hear this." Wang Tiantang's eyes were filled with happiness when he heard that Saint Zhu had left a voice talisman.

*Crack* Wang Tiantang broke the talisman in hope to hear that Saint Zhu, Zhu Li, Zhu Yang and Zhu Long were okay.

"Hmmm, So Wang Tiantang, you got hold of this talisman. I don't have much time so please remember everything that I have to say..." Saint Zhu explained many things with great detail to Wang Tiantang.

10 minutes had passed

Wang Tiantang's face was in shock as well as fear." It seems like you got lucky. Anyways, I get the gist of things but There is one thing that you have left out..."

"Hmmm? I don't think that I left anything important." Saint Zhu looked confused when he heard Wang Tiantang.

"What about you? If this talisman contains your soul so it means that you must be alive, right?" Wang Tiantang was a cold man but when he is with people he loves or respects, his true warm side comes out.

"Yes, At the moment, I am still alive so don't worry. Just do as I say and also inform your father. Zhu Long is the key to solving our kingdom's problem! I can't talk any longer. I have to go now." Saint Zhu's voice disappeared.

*sighs* Wang Tiantang felt relieved knowing that Zhu Yong was okay. He was also astonished hearing that Zhu Long's mark was completed and his power was equivalent to a 1st base nascent stage cultivator.

Wang Tiantang knew about the mark since Zhu Yong had shared it with him trying to find a solution. So when he heard about the mark's qi as well as the power of Zhu Long, he was pleasantly surprised.

'I have to send someone to keep watch of the Zhu Estate. When that kid appears, I'll have to bring him here.' Wang Tiantang thought remembering Zhu Long. Since childhood, Zhu long had came to the palace several times a month. He had loved Zhu Long as his own child.
