Damn it! You Call This Beast Taming?

580 The Dragon Is Dead, the Courtyard Is Yours

The center of the golden palace, which was engraved with a special array, was different from the side palace, the dragon race’s forbidden land, and the even wider dragon continent.

One of the differences was that the flow of time inside and outside was different.

There was an old saying in the mortal world that “a day in heaven is a year on earth”.

Now that the hexagram array was connected to the upper realm celestial’s mother array, the hall that was like a galaxy now naturally wasn’t connected to the ground. To be exact, it should be connected to the layer of heaven where the celestial was.

There were more than nine heavens in the upper realm. Nine was an infinite symbol. The heavens could be simply divided into three levels: low, middle, and high.

The celestial respected by countless dragons of the dragon continent went by the name of Fantasia. He had an ability to reveries. It was said that he entered the celestial path when he heard the classical story of “Sir Zhuang dreaming about a butterfly”.

Celestial Fantasia was also known as the celestial in the mouths of the white-robed old men and Half-celestial Baojing.

The celestial had entered the celestial path through reverie and was very lazy in cultivation. As such, his celestial power was weaker than that of other celestials from the upper realm.

The heaven that he was in was the low-level upper realm that had the most celestials and the weakest strength!

The flow of time in the palace was connected to the upper realm on the other side. Chu Feng, who happened to be sucked into the hexagram array as well, naturally knew this.

He wondered what the situation was like in the other parts of the dragon continent.

If the center of the palace was defined as the “sky”, then the other places, such as the forbidden land of the dragon race, the vast land outside, the entire dragon continent, and the territories occupied by the reclusive human races, could be called the “earth”.

“Boom!”

A series of explosions sounded behind him, but it was much weaker than before. When he arrived at the gate and saw the Austen family mansion, the grand elder finally stopped and took a breath.

At this time, he looked very disheveled because of the several days of travel that he had completed in a few days and nights without sleep while on tenterhooks.

In his low spirits, he had aged more than ten years in less than ten days since he left! When the servants saw him, they did not even dare to recognize him.

“Do you want to die?” The grand elder shouted gloomily, “Get out of the way!”

With his current appearance, even without looking in the mirror, he could imagine what he looked like. The area under his eyelids was probably dark as ink!

The grand elder did not want the other dragons to see this embarrassing appearance that was different from his usual self, so his expression was very ugly.

Moreover, he still had precious treasures in his hands. He had to quickly hide them. Otherwise, if those “vampires” found out, they would want to divide his interests again.

The grand elder sneaked into the mansion. Behind him, in a small corner that no one noticed, a woman’s gaze swept over and stopped on the few dragons that had followed the grand elder back.

She had happily come out to see her son, but was surprised to find that her son was not among the attendants who had returned!

When she thought of the large and small bags the grand elder had been carrying and his guilty look as if he had sold something, the woman’s heart immediately thumped. She had a bad feeling.

She hurriedly entered the mansion, and because she was a servant, she was not stopped.

Immediately after, she secretly inquired about the situation from the few attendants who were her son’s colleagues, but she only got some useless nonsense.

For example, “I don’t know”, “I didn’t see him on the way back” and “he must have accepted some special mission”.

The woman kept asking for more details, but she was driven out by the impatient servants instead.

Someone sent a private message, [Aunt Kante, don’t ask anymore. You’ll lose your life if you keep asking! When we asked the grand elder about it on the way back, he only said that it was a special business trip. Why don’t you wait a little longer? He might be back in two days…]

The woman happened to be literate. She was already panicking, thus when she saw the message, her imagination immediately went wild.

After gathering the information, she suddenly had an idea.

Could it be that the grand elder sold Geer, who had lost his parents, to a black-hearted dragon for an experiment? Then, her poor son was killed to silence him because he saw the transaction?!

The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became. She hurriedly asked for leave and went home.

It was as if she had a big secret in her heart. It made one wonder when the news would spread to the outside world.

If her son could return safely in a few days, perhaps this matter would be over. These were all things to be discussed in the future. The news of the grand elder’s return to the residence quickly reached the ears of dragons who were paying attention.

Just as he hid the treasures, a few elders of higher seniority came to the front hall of his residence and asked, “Where’s Geer?”

Naturally, they didn’t care much about Geer and were just using him as an excuse to ask. After all, it was indeed the grand elder who took Geer away a few days ago, and only a few of the whole team had returned.

Hearing the word “Geer”, the grand elder immediately thought of the scene in the secret chamber where he was stabbed in the eye by the upper realm’s celestial array, yet the dragon cub was safe and sound, as well as the explosion sounds that sounded from time to time as he rushed back.

Now that he thought about it, he felt more and more embarrassed, shocked, panicked, and lost… It was a mixture of a hundred emotions

“From now on, do not mention Geer again. Just treat it as him dying of grief on the day his parents died in battle!”

“What?” The elders were shocked, “He’s dead?”

They were shocked to hear such a big piece of news. They felt that Geer’s family was simply unlucky.

For a moment, they had even forgotten why they had come. Fortunately, they still did not forget the important matter.

The elders were sent by the side branches of the Austen family as lobbyists. They were only stunned for a moment before they quickly forgot about Geer’s death.

It was good that the dragon cub was dead anyway. That would free up the courtyard.

The grand elder was exhausted from the long journey. After entertaining with the other elders for a while, he was also tired.

“Alright,” He let in, “Since the Austen family doesn’t have the main branch now and the few side branches want Cangqing Courtyard, plus its only master, Geer, is dead for sure, there’s no need to follow those empty words! Why wait when we can do it now? Let’s go clean up the place and change hands!”

He had already gained a lot of benefits from the dragon race’s Elder Council, so he would just let go of these small benefits.

Thinking of this, the grand elder instantly felt that he was wise and brave. Under the elders’ adulation, he walked out of the front hall with his head held high.

The dragons were on their way to Cangqing Courtyard when they bumped into Gale’s father, who had returned from the battlefield after receiving the fourth elder’s message. The elders exchanged a few glances and sighed in their hearts.

It seemed that the final winner of the battle was still Bretton. It was a pity that all of Geer’s family is dead… It was just useless!

At the front of the group, the two “foxes” conversed.

In the end, considering the losses, compensation, and the combat strength that would calm the dragons’ hearts, the grand elder agreed to give out the valuable courtyard where Geer and his parents had lived.

However, Bretton also had to give him some benefits. With this, it was a win-win situation for the two strongest dragons in the Austen family.

Only those from the side branches had ugly expressions, but they couldn’t do anything either.

However, when the two smiling “big shots” in front were about to reach Cangqing Courtyard, they heard a cry of surprise, “Help! The sixth young master has collapsed again!”

Hearing this, the expressions of the side branch family members and Gale’s father immediately changed. The former was overjoyed, while the other’s expression was as dark as ink.

“This time, there’s a good show to watch!”

Without paying any attention to the expressions of the members of the side branches who were watching the show, Bretton hurried over.

As soon as he left, a dragon came to report, “T-that courtyard can’t even be entered!”
