Chapter 483: Well, that was Awkward
Chapter 483: Well, that was Awkward
Fang Lin did not rush his pace as he approached the town that he saw after a few more minutes of walking.
After all, Fang Lin has the inkling that everyone will panic once he arrived at a suspicious pace.
“Halt! State the village that you came from!” Right on cue, the guards that were stationed right at the entrance of the town started to treat Fang Lin suspiciously, as if he was already a criminal in their eyes.
Fang Lin inwardly frowned at this, as he realized that he could not just freely move around with these guards nearby.
“Actually, I do not know who I am...” Fang Lin replied, as he used his acting skills to make himself look believable. “I just woke up earlier, and I could not remember my real identity...”
“Huh? Are you playing a joke on us? You lost your memories? You must be one of them!” One of the guards then started to blow a whistle, which was heard throughout the whole town.
The people in the town, who were having their peaceful moment, started to panic as they heard the whistle.
“Quick, hide! The enemy has arrived!” Most of the people started to hide in their house while more guards suddenly appeared, heading towards the entrance of the town.
“C**p, it seems like things have escalated now...” Fang Lin thought morosely as he was surrounded by numerous guards.
All of them were emitting murderous intent towards Fang Lin, as if they could not wait to tear him alive.
“If you think making a pathetic excuse like that will work here, then you are gravely mistaken!” One of the guards said as a phantom of a bear appeared behind him.
This phantom then fused with the guard’s body, changing his entire appearance.
The guard’s body began to bulk as his muscles began to swell.
His face turned hairy as they were covered by brown fur.
His hands started to look deadly as they sprouted 5-inch long claws.
“Oh, so these guards somehow can transform themselves into a form related to some powerful creatures...” Fang Lin hypothesized to himself as he saw the other guards starting to transform too.
In the end, Fang Lin was surrounded by multitude of enhanced and transformed guards.
“Surrender now, and we can promise that your death will be painless.” One of the guards said as they gave leering looks at Fang Lin. “Of course we will tear you apart if you ever tried to struggle in front of us!”
“...” In face of these threats, Fang Lin only stayed quiet as he did not even give any hint of reply.
Upon seeing this, the guards started to feel cocky, as they thought that Fang Lin was frozen scared by what he saw.
But the truth was that Fang Lin was thinking about a different thing.
“If these guards can do these transformations... then the other residents on this planet can transform too... In that case, this body that I am in right now could possibly transform too!”
Fang Lin then wasted no time as he started to activate the power that was welling inside his current body.
Fang Lin had already detected this power earlier, but he did not dare touch it, as he thought that he needed to investigate first before tinkering with this power.
But when Fang Lin saw the abilities of the guards, he immediately realized what the power in his current body was.
“Come out!” Fang Lin shouted as a massive silhouette appeared behind him.
The guards, who were acting smug earlier, could not help but drop their weapons as they stared at the figure behind Fang Lin.
“Ugh....” Suddenly, Fang Lin coughed some blood as the figure behind him suddenly disappeared. He started to feel weak, as if the mere act of showing that figure was already enough to exhaust him.
“It seems like it will still take a while before this body could fuse with that phantom figure...” Fang Lin thought to himself as he remembered the appearance of the figure that appeared behind him.
The figure was another dragon, but its appearance and presence were more imposing compared to the dragon that Fang Lin saw earlier.
In fact, Fang Lin was 100% sure that the dragon phantom behind him looked extremely similar to the Azure Dragon, which is an extremely strong Dragon!
In fact, one can say that the Azure Dragon’s was one of the Divine Beasts that can fight toe to toe against the Godly Divine Beasts!
“But the phantom figure behind me is not the Azure Dragon right?” Fang Lin thought to himself as he attributed the appearance of the dragon behind him to some obscure look alike of the Azure Dragon.
But that assumption of his was shattered as he saw all the guards suddenly kneeling in front of him.
Gone were their arrogant and murderous expression. Instead, these were replaced by expressions of awe, fear and respect.
All the voices of the guards were trembling as they said,
“Forgive us if we offended you! We lowly guards are not worthy to look at you!”
“Oh, so you know who I am then?” Fang Lin asked with interest as he saw the incredibly respectful stance of the guards. “Come on, quickly tell it to me.”
“Sir, you... you are a bonafide member of the Azure Dragon Divine Clan!” One of the guards said as he dared to not look at Fang Lin straight.
“S**t, so the phantom behind me really is the Azure Dragon.” Fang Lin thought to himself as he wore a wry smile.
Fang Lin then observed the frightened guards around him, and that’s when he realized the power of the Azure Dragon Divine Clan.
“These guards have the might comparable to Second-Third Practitioners, yet they were immediately scared once they realized my connection with the Azure Dragon Divine Clan. From the looks of it, this clan might be a powerhouse in this place!”
Fang Lin’s eyes lit up as he realized that he now had a clue on what he should do next.
“Since this body is a member of that clan, then it is most likely that the way for me to finish the trial of the Heirlooms was by going at the Azure Dragon Divine Clan!”
Realizing that his body was part of an affluent clan, Fang Lin then started to act like a Young Master in front of the guards.
“You.” Fang Lin pointed to the guard nearest to him. “Go and do everything you can to call someone from the Azure Dragon Divine Clan. Tell them that one of their members are here in this place, and that he sorely needs their help.”
“Ye-ye-yes!” The guard did not waste anytime as he flew away from the town. From the looks of it, he seems to be heading to a place where he can contact the Azure Dragon Divine Clan.
“And as for the remaining of you...” Fang Lin reached deep in his pocket as he gave them threw some gold coins at them.
“Find me the best and most luxurious residence in this town... I will wait for my clan members in that place.”
“We shall give you the best one, oh Young Master!” The guards shouted as they rushed towards the town.
“Hehehe, being a Young Master really feels good...” Fang Lin muttered to himself as he let out an exhilarated smile. “Well, time to wait then...”
***************
With the combined efforts of the guards, they were able to procure the mansion of the town lord, which was the most auspicious landmark in the whole town.
Even if the town lord was extremely mad at Fang Lin, he had no choice but to hold his anger in as he was told that Fang Lin was a member of the Azure Dragon Divine Clan.
“Hmm... This place is really nice...” Fang Lin muttered with a relaxed expression on his face.
The guards and the town lord who saw Fang Lin’s flippant attitude could not help but clench their fists in anger. But they held their ill-feelings toward Fang Lin as they knew offending him will be equal to offending the Azure Dragon Divine Clan.
“Nom nom nom.” Fang Lin then started to gnaw on some grapes that were being fed to him personally by the town lord’s daughter.
In terms of beauty, the appearance of the town lord’s daughter could not be compared to the likes of Fang Yu or Xiao Ya, but still, her beauty is still enough to captivate anyone.
“Feed me more grapes. I like the way your dainty fingers brush across my lips...” Fang Lin said huskily as he gave the town lord’s daughter a burning gaze.
“.....” Being stared at with Fang Lin’s somewhat timid but also handsome appearance, the town lord’s daughter could not help but blush, as this was the first time that someone bad blatantly flirted with her.
Sounds of popping veins could be heard as the town lord did his very best to contain his anger. Just seeing Fang Lin making moves on his precious daughter was enough to send him on the edge.
“Just a little more, and this little pest will already leave...” The town lord thought to himself. “I just need to endure until that...”
In the end, the guard that left earlier only returned after an hour.
His face has a slightly weird look on it as he gazed at Fang Lin’s direction.
Fang Lin ignored the weird gaze given to him by the messenger guard as he asked him,
“So, have you sent the message already?”
“Yes.” To Fang Lin’s surprise, the tone of the messenger guard did not sound any respectful at all, In fact, it sounded borderline insulting.
“Hey, what are you doing!” The town lord started to panic as he saw the disrespectful attitude given by the messenger guard. “You know that this guy is a member of the Azure Dragon Divine Clan, right?”
“Yes, I know that, town lord.” The messenger guard replied with a sneer on his face. “But even if he was a member of the Azure Dragon Divine Clan, it does not mean that we should act deferent to him.”
“What do you mean... by that?” At this point, the town lord and the guards started to realize that there was something that the messenger guard discovered about Fang Lin’s identity.
That must be the reason why the messenger guard was acting disrespectful to Fang Lin.
“Oh, you will see the answer right now.” The messenger guard said as he pointed at the sky.
Everyone looked up, including Fang Lin, and what they saw made them drop their jaws in surprise.
They saw thousands of blue-robed figures blotting the sky.
Each one of these blue robes were letting out frightening power that made everyone below them extremely scared.
Upon seeing these blue robes, alarm bells began to ring inside Fang Lin’s mind, as he realized that something bad was about to happen.
That suspicion of his was confirmed when one of the blue robes suddenly said,
“Clan Member Xiao Chen, for your crimes against the clan, we, the Disciplinary Division of the Azure Dragon Divine Clan, is here to punish you accordingly!”
