“The service that Zhen Yuan has in the Poisonous Insect sect is huge, we cannot afford it. Helping Zhen Yuan this time will pay a little for his services” Duyao said, he immediately agreed.
Patriarch Duchong waited for Du Lian, he served as an advisor and his job was only to give good advice if the opinion of Du Lian was not right. But Du Lian also agreed to it without further ado.
Du Lian decided to follow elder Huang, as his strength was considered the strongest in the entire Poisonous Insect sect hence no one rejected him. Duchong just advised to be on guard and stay alert in that dangerous place.
With Du Lian increasing, the group even numbered 5 people. Each of them were Mortal cultivators so they could travel far in a short period of time.
“Chairman Bai, do you know the location of the Zhen family?”
During the journey Du Lian tried to get along with the followers of Zhen Yuan. It was no other reason just to gain support from them in relation to Zhen Yuan. They also understood and welcomed the intentions of Du Lian. Therefore Du Lian easily asked the three of them a few things.
“Zhen Kingdom?” Elder Bai was confused by Du Lian's question. “What Matriarch has some needs with Zhen family?”
Du Lian shook his head quickly trying to straighten out the guesses from elder Bai. “Actually the place meant by master Zhen in the letter was the Blue Moon kingdom more precisely was the Zhen” family
The three elders were surprised to hear it, while Baisheng who was being carried by elder Huang spoke, “Sister Du, the Zhen family is the strongest among the great families that rule in Blue Moon kingdom. Because it is located maybe not too far from the royal capital of Blue Moon or at least he has the top area there”
Baisheng was basically a vagrant in the Red Star city. Because the city was the center of the pill trade made him know a little about the information of the big family, the central palace and so on. Of course when he was still a tramp, he still considered them all normal people.
Elder Bai nodded, he was the one leading the way this time. Because of the location of the Iron Sand kingdom in the middle between the two other kingdoms, so they relatively quickly arrived at the border of the Blue Moon kingdom.
But when they arrived at the border, the guards immediately restrained them from entering the kingdom. “The king's majesty has arranged to close every city and not let anyone in and out there.” the guard explained.
The guard soon came to his senses after examining them, the result being that all four were genuine and their posts were palace elders. The guard immediately let them in without even getting paid a penny.
Elder Bai led them into the first city in Blue Moon kingdom. Among them, elder Bai was the most familiar with the entire Origin plain region. He then explained that under the leadership of the Zhen family, there were 3 opposing factions in the kingdom. But he did not elaborate on the three factions.
They kept moving at their speed. Until then they entered a province called Shadow Earth. It was this province that became the place where the Zhen family ruled.
Once they enter the province, they can feel the progress and civilization here is much more advanced than others. Especially the many statues along the way.
Elder Bai explained that the statues were built in accordance with the generals, ministers and emperors who died in the war from the Zhen family. They perpetuate it through sculpture artwork.
“The Zhen family can be said to thrive in all kinds of areas of the world as well as strength. Starting from agriculture, livestock, economy and even politics they became the most advanced in the Blue Moon kingdom and maybe in the 3 major kingdoms. In addition they were also producers of Pill and weapons as well as some formations and magical items. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Zhen family became the number one family among 10 other large families.”
“Matriark Du, you should wear this robe so that your appearance is not too flashy! The Zhen family has many eyes and with your identity it will be easy for them to find it.” Elder Bai suggested, he take out another robe and give it to Du Lian.
After that they waited at an inn near the Zhen family residence. In the letter, Zhen Yuan mentioned that they had to wait because Zhen Yuan had just launched his action when the night of the lantern arrived.
“The night lanterns are held every mid-month, it is also a special day in the Zhen family as their core family members will come out and go around greeting their people. Of course not all will be present because every month they will take turns.” Elder Bai explained to Du Lian.
“The night of the lantern this time is in accordance with the rules spread by the Zhen family, the first Prince, Zhen Tian who will come out and say hello.”. After all was explained by elder Bai, Du Lian and the others chose to wait in meditation and practice so as not to waste any free time.
