Chapter 75: Fengxing City, the Sacred Dragon Clan, and the Breaking Clan
"Finally, we've arrived at Fengxing City."
Sitting in the carriage, Yu Tianlin leaned out, looking at the tall city wall ahead, and could not help but sigh softly.
Fengxing City lay deep within the Star Luo Empire, not far from the capital, Star Luo City. Yu Tianlin had set out from the clan a few days after obtaining his third Spirit Ring, and it had taken him an entire month of travel to reach this place.
"That's right, Young Master Tianlin, this is Fengxing City."
Beside the carriage, a lean middle aged man rode on a horse condensed from Spirit Power. He smiled as he spoke. "The headquarters of the Breaking Clan you are looking for is located here in Fengxing City."
This lean middle aged man was Zuo Jianping. His Martial Soul was the Shadow Lizard, and he was a level 58 agility attack type Spirit King. When Yu Tianlin had been studying at Thunder Academy, the clan had assigned Zuo Jianping to secretly protect him.
Unexpectedly, he had also become the bodyguard for this long journey.
Previously, Zuo Jianping had always acted from the shadows. This time, however, he traveled in the open at Yu Tianlin's side.
Having arrived at their destination, Yu Tianlin immediately jumped down from the carriage. After traveling for a month and swaying in a carriage every day, he was so sick of it that he almost felt nauseous.
Seeing Yu Tianlin disembark, Zuo Jianping also dismissed his horse, handed the reins to the coachman, and waved, signaling that the coachman could leave.
The two of them then walked toward the city gate together.
As they walked, Zuo Jianping continued, "The patriarch of the Breaking Clan has the cultivation of a Spirit Douluo, but even so, the Breaking Clan is not the most powerful force in Fengxing City."
"Oh?" Yu Tianlin asked in confusion. "Fengxing City looks quite prosperous, but it's still not the imperial capital. With Yang Wudi's Spirit Douluo level strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to dominate a single city, right?"
"If it were any other city, that might be true." Zuo Jianping shook his head. "But unfortunately, the Sacred Dragon Clan's headquarters is also located here in Fengxing City."
Hearing this, a glint flashed in Yu Tianlin's eyes.
He certainly knew of the Sacred Dragon Clan. He had only known that they operated within the Star Luo Empire, but had not expected their headquarters to be in Fengxing City itself.
The Sacred Dragon Clan was the leader of the lower sects among the seven major sects of the Douluo Continent. Their inherited Martial Soul was the White Armored Earth Dragon. The sect master, Tuoba Xi, had reached level 89 in cultivation, only a single step away from becoming a Title Douluo.
It was said to be only one step, but that step was like a chasm. Yu Tianlin's second grandfather, Yu Luomian, was also at level 89. If no miracle occurred, he would never be able to break through to the Title Douluo realm in his lifetime.
With the recent great increase in his mental strength, Yu Tianlin's memories of his previous life had become clearer. If he remembered correctly, Tuoba Xi would later fully submit to Spirit Hall, receive their support, and barely break through to the Title Douluo realm.
Even then, after becoming a Title Douluo, Tuoba Xi would remain at the lowest level, barely reaching level 91. Among all Title Douluos, he would rank dead last.
Because of his existence, Dugu Bo's position rose by one, from last place to second to last.
This was practically a celebration-worthy contribution.
A frenzied persecution of Dugu Bo, indeed.
However, Tuoba Xi and his sect only possessed Earth Dragon type Martial Souls, yet they still dared to call themselves "Sacred Dragons."
How arrogant.
With these thoughts in mind, Yu Tianlin and Zuo Jianping entered Fengxing City together.
Just the simple matter of entering the city improved Yu Tianlin's impression of the Star Luo Empire. Fengxing City did not charge an entrance fee.
Speaking of city entrance fees, Yu Tianlin felt rather speechless.
There were many small kingdoms at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Yu Tianlin was not a local, so he had to pay an entrance fee every time he entered a city while passing through those kingdoms.
The entrance fee was charged per person, 1 gold coin per head. The most ridiculous part was that even horses needed to pay an entrance fee.
Although Yu Tianlin was not short of money, the idea of paying a toll just to enter a city still disgusted him.
They really were desperate for money.
After entering Fengxing City, the two of them went straight toward the compound of the Breaking Clan and soon arrived at their destination.
The sight that greeted them was a large mansion occupying a considerable area. Its walls were thick and tall, about 4 meters high, and the gate tower rose more than 6 meters into the air.
Two burly men stood in front of the gate, each nearly 2 meters tall, their backs ramrod straight, an imposing aura radiating from their bodies. Even from a distance, Yu Tianlin could sense the stubborn and unyielding air they exuded.
When they reached the main gate, Yu Tianlin looked up and saw a plaque hanging above the entrance, bearing a single character: "Breaking."
Well, the other three clans probably hung up plaques that said Strength, Defense, and Agility, which was fine. But putting the word "Breaking" on the main gate like that really did not feel appropriate.
Those familiar with the area would know it belonged to the Breaking Clan. Those who did not might assume that everyone living inside had something wrong with them just from seeing that "Breaking" sign.
Yu Tianlin shook his head and pushed aside these stray thoughts. He turned to look at Zuo Jianping, took out a visiting card from his dragon-patterned ring, and gestured for him to step forward and present it.
Zuo Jianping took the card, stepped up to the burly guards, and handed it to one of them.
"Please inform Senior Yang Wudi that Yu Tianlin of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has come to pay a visit."
The burly man glanced down at the visiting card in his hand. His brows furrowed slightly, but he still replied in a deep voice, "Please wait a moment."
After speaking, he turned around, pushed open the gate, and walked inside.
The other burly man remained motionless, continuing to stand like a statue at the gate while sizing Yu Tianlin up from head to toe.
Hmm.
The Breaking Clan's attitude did not seem very friendly after hearing that I'm from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Tianlin keenly sensed the subtle shift in the two gatekeepers' demeanor.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had never had any dealings with the Breaking Clan. Under normal circumstances, their reaction should have been a mix of indifference and mild surprise that someone from the clan had come to visit, not this faint hostility.
It was the Clear Sky Sect that had abandoned the Breaking Clan back then. It had nothing to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Surely they would not be venting their anger on us, right?
At this moment, inside the mansion, the burly gatekeeper holding the visiting card walked through a series of corridors until he reached the door of a quiet room.
"Clan leader, someone has come to visit."
"Another failed attempt at plant research!" an exasperated voice snapped from inside. "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me while I'm conducting research?"
The burly gatekeeper hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Clan leader, the visitor claims to be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"What does someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan want with me?"
The voice in the quiet room paused briefly, then replied impatiently, "The three upper sects are all in cahoots. The Clear Sky Sect is a bunch of bastards, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is no better. I don't have time to see them. Tell them to leave."
With the clan leader's answer, the burly gatekeeper did not dare to linger. He turned and returned to the gate, then handed the visiting card back.
"Our clan leader does not have time. Please go back."
