Chapter 81: On the Journey to Find the Secret Realm

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Soon, Lin Chen saw the Fire Silk running over.

“Master, Grandpa wants you to go over. He said that he wants to discuss the matter about the map.”

Without any room for discussion, Fire Silk pulled Lin Chen and ran.

On the way, they even bumped into a few Fire Family disciples.

“Hmph, you’re tugging at a wild man…”

“Seriously, you’re embarrassing us nobles!”

“I really don’t understand why this bastard can still stay in our Fire Family!”

Some of the voices were simply unsightly.

Lin Chen looked over.

Those people all had fiery red hair and high nose bridges…

They were also very young.

However, each of their words was more vicious than the other.

As for Fire Silk, it was as if she did not hear it. However, her expression changed slightly. It looked like she was forcing herself, as if those people were not talking about her.

However, she still held Lin Chen’s hand and did not let go. She only increased her running speed.

When they reached the courtyard and distanced themselves from those people, Fire Silk slowed down. Her voice also came weakly. “Master, I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you. I… I’m already used to it! Grandpa said that those people just now were all my brothers and sisters. Fire Golden Condor, Fire Phoenix, Fire Rainbow, and Fire Justice are all surnamed Fire. However, I don’t think 1 can get their affirmation no matter what I do.”

It seemed like the young lady was still very concerned.

It’s fine. As long as you become stronger, no one will dare to bully you,” Lin Chen comforted.

“But I… I’m very weak. I haven’t been able to complete the trial and become an adult.”

Fire Silk looked a little depressed.

The little girl was only 15 or 16 years old.

She was three to four years younger than Lin Chen.

Most importantly, she was an orphan like Lin Chen.

Lin Chen could understand. Without the protection of one’s parents, one would be looked down upon by everyone.

The key was that Fire Silk’s parents had died when she was really young.

He heard that they had been gone since she was three years old.

Although Fire Silk was still protected by her grandfather, from the few times Lin Chen and Fire Gift had met, Lin Chen did not think that Fire Gift was a truly amiable old man or an old man who especially doted on his granddaughter.

Why did he say that?

The reason happened to be Lin Chen.

Fire Gift actually made Lin Chen the teacher of the Fire Silk.

Lin Chen was not even a God Apostle yet.

He was only Level 170, but he could already be a master to someone else?

Although Fire Gift had said a lot and even said that he had found many masters for Fire Silk, but none of them were right for her, and this reason was indeed a little dignified.

Lin Chen was not a fool. He would just listen to it.

He did not believe it.

It was more like Fire Gift was using Lin Chen to express how much he valued his granddaughter, Fire Silk.

Now, Fire Gift summoned Lin Chen over.

Instead of Fire Gift coming over.

This meant that the treasure map clue discovered by Lin Chen that originally belonged to Fire Silk had now become Fire Gift’s. Moreover, Lin Chen had seen many Fire family disciples rushing to this courtyard just now.

What did Fire Gift mean?

As Lin Chen had expected.

When Lin Chen brought Fire Silk to the hall, it was already filled with people.

Furthermore, Fire Ash was standing beside Fire Gift!

The head of the Fire family.

He was also someone Lin Chen had always wanted to get close to.

Next, Fire Ash announced, “Your second uncle might have discovered a Trial Secret Realm. At the moment, we don’t know the exact situation of this Secret Realm. However, this Secret Realm is definitely our Fire Family’s! Therefore, this time, three generations of elites of the Fire Family have been sent out. Let’s explore this Secret Realm first. No one can say anything about this. Everyone, set off immediately!”

It was clearly a treasure map left to her by Fire Silk’s mother.

And now, the clue had just been found.

In the end, the treasure map was gone.

It even became the Fire Family’s?

Lin Chen could not really comment on this.

However, when he looked at Fire Silk, he could not help but ask in a low voice, “Is this Secret Realm the one on the treasure map?”

“Yup!”

Fire Silk nodded.

“That was yours, but now it belongs to the Fire Family…”

“Master, it’s fine.”

Fire Silk smiled. She was so considerate that it made one’s heart ache. “It’s fine as long as I get used to it!”

‘Fine!’

Since she had already said so, what else could Lin Chen say?

Perhaps it was because Lin Chen also knew about the treasure map, or perhaps it was because Lin Chen was Fire Silk’s master, but Fire Ash did not recognize Lin Chen. At this moment, Fire Ash had a lot of things to deal with and did not notice Lin Chen.

The group went on their way.

Just as Fire Ash had said, all the third generation elites of the Fire Family had been sent out.

The group of people naturally attracted the attention of many people.

However, the Fire Family did have enough power in the Sea Conqueror Province.

Lin Chen was very curious. Fire Ash had even personally led the team. Wasn’t the Fire Family afraid that their city would be empty and be invaded?

In the end, Lin Chen thought too much of the matter.

This was because on the way, Lin Chen heard Fire Silk say, “Our manor is guarded by a Second Rank retainer. Eldest Grandpa’s place also has a peak Second Rank individual guarding it. Moreover, there are also very mysterious elders in the family. No one dares to cause trouble in our Fire Family’s territory.”

Lin Chen agreed.

This should be the foundation of a large family clan!

The Fire Family was indeed not something that a family like the De Family could compare to.

Look at the level of other people’s retainers, then look at the De Family’s?

There wasn’t even a single Rank 2 person to be found.

It was not that the De Family was poor. In fact, the De Family should also be rich, but their foundation was not as good as the Fire Family’s. Those high-level retainers were naturally more willing to follow the powerful families.

For example, in this Secret Realm.

If the Fire Family succeeded, the Secret Realm would be transferred to the Fire Family’s city.

Those retainers could also go and investigate.

Moreover, by relying on a powerful family, they could be considered to have found a big tree for protection.

If Lin Chen wanted to be someone’s retainer, he would definitely choose a powerful family.

However, it was not necessarily true that no one dared to provoke the Fire Family.

Three days after everyone set off, they encountered a group of people blocking their way.

At that time, everyone had just headed west and was less than a thousand miles away from the Sea Conqueror Province.

The place they were at now was Dragon Tiger Province of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.

The Fire Family’s confidentiality was indeed very good. Even Lin Chen, who was in the team, did not know where to go. However, with so many people traveling, the lineup was still very large and they were on the official road. Although no one dared to provoke them in the Sea Conqueror Province, there were people who dared to stop them in the Dragon Tiger Province.

“Fire Ash, your Fire Family’s territory is the Sea Conqueror Province. Why did you bring so many people to my Dragon Tiger Province?”

The person in the lead directly left the team and questioned Fire Ash and the Fire Family, in a scolding tone!

It could be said that this was very disrespectful!

After all, Fire Ash was a marquis.

The head of a large family.

However, as Lin Chen paid attention, he learned from the people beside him that the other party’s background was not small.

Dragon Tiger Province.

The head of the Water Family.

The Mountain Guardian Marquis of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, Water Shock!

In terms of strength and status, he was not inferior to Fire Ash.

At the same time, Lin Chen also learned that the marquises of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom actually had high statuses.

Ordinary marquises like Demille only had a noble title.

There was no honorific title.

Therefore, Demille was exterminated by Lin Chen in Sky Moon City. In the end, this matter did not cause much of a stir in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.

Without a title, it was just a reward.

The true representative of strength was the Three Guardian Dukes and Thirteen Guardian Marquises of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!

The three dukes were obviously three dukes.

Protector Duke, Dragon Yandao was from the royal family and was the eldest uncle of the current king. He was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. He was in charge of the Dragon Guards and the Empire’s battlefield!

Obedience Duke, Dragon Yanhui, came from the royal family and was also the current king’s uncle. However, he was the leader of the parliament and the head of the hundred officials. His relationship with the royal family was more subtle, and he was more inclined to the interests of the nobles.

Loyalty Duke, Schonnertel, was the commander-in-chief of the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom. He was equivalent to a general. However, he could not command the Dragon Guards or interfere in the empire’s battlefield.

Then came the 13 Guardian Marquises.

Among them, six marquis families guarded the Imperial Capital all year round.

The other seven marquises would guard the seven provinces.

In Yingtian Province, the Marquis of War, Gold Stan, was the number one refiner in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. His fief was Heavenly Soldier City, and his main business was to refine various weapons.

Sea Conqueror Province, Marquis of Flames, Fire Ash, fief was Fiery Wind City, and he had a lot of various businesses.

In Dragon Tiger Province, Marquis of Mountains, Water Shock, fief was Cloud Dream City. It was famous for raising aquatic creatures. Their main business was selling delicacies from aquatic demon beasts. They also dabbled in water jewelry, such as large Night Pearls and top-grade pearls. Only the Water family could produce them.

Shanyue Province, Marquis of Earth, Earth Nate. His fief was Lucky Earth City, and he was good at arrays.

In the Two Lakes Province, the Marquis of Heavenly Sound, Wood Genevieve, was the number one alchemist in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. Her fief was the Mystic Medicine Valley, and her main business was naturally all kinds of medicinal pills.

Lingnan Province, Sea Conqueror Marquis Nilis, information unknown.

Xijiang Province, Divine Cloud Marquis Lei Wanjun, information unknown.

This was some information that Lin Chen had obtained from listening to the conversations of the disciples of the Fire Family.

At this moment, Lin Chen realized that Fire Ash actually dared to not even give Gold Spear face in the Sea Conqueror Province. He was actually so powerful.

It was no wonder that as the City Lord of Sky Moon City, he could only change his appearance and sneak into the team.

Although Lin Chen was also a viscount,

However, he was far inferior to Fire Ash’s status in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.

Fire Ash could be said to be the true ruler of the Sea Conqueror Province in certain aspects.

It was no wonder that Gold Spear seemed to be at odds with him.

Could the nobles and government officials possibly be good friends with each other?

Our Fire Family has come to the Dragon Tiger Province to look for an inheritance. We have no intention of provoking you. Water Shock, what do you mean by this?” Fire Ash’s voice sounded.

His voice was as loud as a bell.

They were negotiating.

Since it was a negotiation, it was natural that he could not lose on aura.

However, Water Shock and Fire Ash’s voices became softer.

Lin Chen could not hear them anymore.

However, Lin Chen could see that after the negotiation, the Water family did not make things too difficult for them.

Instead…

Water Shock sent some people to follow the Fire Family’s team.

Water Shock also came along.

The group quickly arrived at a scenic spot in Dragon Tiger Province.

However, Lin Chen was very familiar with this place…

Dragon Tiger Mountain!
