Chapter 685: Time To Get Started!!!

Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were the most honorable guests among all the guests. What Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang didn't expect was that the club Hao Ren ran in the university could ever reach a scale like that.

Some elders of the dragon palaces who came from far away had their own identities in the mortal world, and they started going up to Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang and talking to them once they knew that they were Hao Ren's parents.

Zhao Hongyu drove to East Ocean University after knowing there were many guests from other dragon palaces went there. Zhao Hongyu was the closest to Yue Yang. Therefore, after she greeted some dragon kings and dragon queens, she immediately started talking to Yue Yang intimately.

The cultivators from the other dragon palaces were secretly surprised at how close Zhao Hongyu and Yue Yang were.

Then, they took a look at Zhao Yanzi, the little princess of East Ocean, and found that she was grabbing Hao Ren tightly by his wrist and walking through the hall. It was quite evident that the little princess indeed liked her fuma.

It seemed they were the most harmonious couple!

They had no clue how Hao Zhonghua's family got to know Zhao Guang's, or how East Ocean Dragon Clan overcame the pressure. However, it could be seen from the satisfied looks on Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu's faces that they did find a great son-in-law.

The East Ocean Dragon Clan wasn't higher in authority than the Dragon God Shrine as the Dragon God Shrine was at a higher level than the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Hao Ren had something extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get the level 4 inspector position at such a young age.

It was said that close to a million soldiers of the East Ocean Dragon Clan had been obedient to this general...

The dragon cultivators who had been to the general exam at the Dragon God Shrine were incredibly impressed by Hao Ren as he was the remarkable young man who dared to challenge the inspector at the Kun-level and left the latter unable to resist.

"If he is ever interested in my daughter, I would definitely leave her to him although he is a mortal..." Some dragon kings thought secretly.

At this moment, the only thing they could do was to admire the great foresight East Ocean Dragon King and Dragon Queen had since they sensed Hao Ren's extraordinary potential even before his strong talent showed.

It wasn't unreasonable for the East Ocean Dragon Clan to surpass the West Ocean Dragon Clan.

"Uncle Bie! Uncle Liu!"

Dragging Hao Ren around, Zhao Yanzi greeted sweetly whenever she saw the dragon elders she knew.

Dragon palaces that sent their young generation to study at East Ocean University were those living in isolated regions, but some weren't located far from East Ocean city.

For example, Dongting Lake, Manshan Island, Hongze Lake, and Tianmu Mountain... the dragon kings and elders from these dragon palaces were close to East Ocean City.

"Hello, hello..." Elders from those dragon palaces smiled at Zhao Yanzi.

The members of Hao Ren's club all knew that this little girl was the only daughter that the East Ocean Dragon King had, but regular students were envious of Hao Ren when they saw Hao Ren being grabbed by such a pretty and cute middle school girl.

Middle school girls looked very youthful and lively, but Zhao Yanzi was even more energetic than normal girls. They could tell that she was obsessed with Hao Ren simply by the way she held Hao Ren.

The reason for Zhao Yanzi introducing Hao Ren to the elders was actually to confirm her relationship with Hao Ren and establish her unbreakable fiancée status.

Bang!

As Zhao Yanzi dragging Hao Ren forward to introduce Uncle Ye from Fuchun River, she suddenly ran into someone.

She rubbed her forehead, looked up, and saw a pale old man in a grey jacket who looked at her and Hao Ren.

"Friend, is it time for you to give the thing back to me?" The old man asked suddenly.

"The thing..." Zhao Yanzi looked at him in confusion.

Hao Ren reached for Zhao Yanzi's arm and pulled her half a step back. The golden shield in his necklace started to buzz.

What was supposed to come finally came. The metal-elemental dragon cultivator suddenly appeared here and refused to talk to other cultivators, but he was not here for a vacation.

"Good birds pick proper trees to land on. Spiritual treasures choose the right owner to follow. Is the elder talking about the golden shield?" Hao Ren asked.

Hao Zhonghua, who was busy talking with the Principal, didn't pay too much attention as he saw Hao Ren having a conversation with a pale old man. Thus, he just kept discussing the construction of a lab building with the Principal.

"My trip here was for three things, first the Heaven-Reaching Shield, second your sword technique, third... the Mystic Water Sword Techniques," the pale old man said.

He talked in such a firm tone as if he had to get all three things he asked for.

"You must be Xu Ke's master?" Hao Ren asked.

"Good thing you know. Hand them over to me now, then I will forget about the past." He looked around at the crowd in the hall, "No one here... can keep you safe."

Zhao Yanzi looked at the old man in confusion and then looked back at Hao Ren. She thought the people that showed up were all on their side; how could a bad guy come in?

Hao Ren glanced around and didn't see Yue Zilong. He figured that Yue Zilong probably didn't want to expose his identity as a deputy shrine master and had no interest in getting Hao Ren out of trouble.

He did a great favor for Hao Ren by giving him five realm-breaking notes, but he wasn't Hao Ren's bodyguard.

"I would level this huge building to the ground if I make my moves, and I will get the three things in the end anyway. It wouldn't be easy for the Dragon God Shrine to track me down and arrest me," the old man said.

Hao Ren guessed that his realm could only be above Wang Shitong's as he could sense the latter's peak Qian-level realm back then. However, Hao Ren couldn't detect any energy fluctuations on this old man.

"Probably... he is even stronger than Yue Zilong."

The cultivator who was at peak Qian-level could demolish a tall building simply by stomping his foot. If the library collapsed, the dragon cultivators might get away from injuries, but the students, Hao Ren's parents, and his grandma would be in danger.

Taiyi Cave Master figured that no one there would be able to suppress him. Therefore, he could appear alone and act provocatively without punishment.

"If you ever dare, the Dragon God Shrine will investigate with no doubt." Su Han walked over and stood beside Hao Ren.

She had been keeping an eye on the old man beside Xu Ke ever since she walked in.

Surprisingly, close to peak Qian-level, Su Han couldn't sense any nature essence fluctuations, but she didn't believe that the elder invited by Xu Ke was just a mortal.

"Investigation?" The old man took a glance at Xu Ke and said, "Wouldn't it be easy for the Dragon God Shrine to end a case? Here is someone for you. As Taiyi Cave Master, I will never overprotect anyone."

"Me?" Xu Ke paused, looking at the old man blankly.

"Go now..."

Taiyi Cave Master released his power abruptly.

Thousands of calligraphic works hanging in the hall started moving when there wasn't any wind at all. Then, they got blown away suddenly.

The pouring rain outside of the library flowed back, and Hao Ren's calligraphic work got drenched immediately.

"Old Man, how dare you!" Su Han twisted her eyebrows, and the look on her face turned to rage.

Dragon cultivators always showed their respect based on strength, but they were still particular about seniority and generation. Only cultivators in the same generation could fight.

The fierce wind blew from outside. The mortals in the library couldn't stand on their feet, and they all closed their eyes.

Hao Ren was concerned that this old man would destroy the library. Thus, he stomped his feet and rushed out of the library like an arrow.

That was exactly what Taiyi Cave Master wanted. He projected himself by stomping his right foot on the marble floor, and his body flew out at a sharp tilt.

The students in the line outside the entrance suddenly felt the wild wind from the stairs. Shortly, they saw two streaks of light shooting out of the library. The sudden gale forced them to fall sideways as if they were collapsing walls.

As they were about to get up, another streak of white light came out of the library, and they were blown down again by the following gale.

The third streak of light was Su Han. She knew that Hao Ren was unable to defeat the metal-elemental dragon, but he was forced by the latter to battle outside. She was worried that Hao Ren would be taken advantage of. Therefore, she flew out hurriedly to support him.

The few students from the Student Council who were guarding outside the library were way too weak to resist the sudden force. They were pushed to both sides one after another, and none of them knew what was going on.

In the library, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang hardly stood on their feet. Luckily, Grandma was held by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili as she was about to fall.

All the dragon kings realized that something was going, so they all rushed out to the small square outside of the library.

All they saw was a metal-elemental dragon cultivator dressed in grey jacket chasing Hao Ren in hot pursuit up in the air. Following them was Su Han, who stepped on a longsword at high speed.

Whoosh...

Over five hundred club members also rushed outside to look at the sky.

On the stairs, the students tried to look at the sky but only saw layers of dark clouds.

Seeing the metal-elemental dragon cultivator chasing Hao Ren, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were concerned and wanted to help him. However, they couldn't just disappear with mortals around, and they had to keep Hao Ren's grandma safe.

The demonic arrow was hanging on Xie Yujia's neck, but she couldn't use it to shoot while the entire crowd was watching. All she could do was stand between Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang while she gritted her teeth and worried about Hao Ren.

Same reason applied to all the other dragon cultivators; they couldn't just disappear like this.

"Heaven Earth Lock!"

Up in the sky, Taiyi Cave Master used a red energy sphere to cover the entire city, which didn't allow mortals to see the dragon cultivators who used nature essence.

Defeating Taiyi Cave Master was the only way to remove this energy sphere.

The cultivators inside and outside the library were all still in their mortal forms. If they ever used their nature essence, they would disappear immediately.

The secret kept by dragon cultivators for so many years would be revealed if they disappear in front of the mortals.

The reason behind Taiyi Cave Master's move was to force all the dragon cultivators to remain on the ground so that he would only have to deal with Hao Ren and Su Han.

"Huh!" Taiyi Cave Master raised his hands together and shot five beams of golden light at Su Han.

He didn't expect Su Han to react so quickly and rush out of the library. Therefore, he had to beat her as well!!
