Chapter 1040 Where Are We? (2)



There was a slight moment of delay in thought before Hong Gui said, "Uncle? Is that really you?"

Hong Long gave a nod in response to this, but he didn't say anything else.

Hong Gui's expression twisted when he saw this and it changed several times before he forced himself to calm down. Then Hong Gui asked, "Uncle, how are you still alive? Didn't you sacrifice yourself in the battle with the Outers?"

Hong Long shook his head and said, "It's not the time to explain now."

Then Hong Long started asking Hong Gui a few questions about the Red Dragon Tribe.

Hong Gui was confused when he heard this, but seeing all of the elders looking at him, which included the two Great Elders, he had no choice but to respond truthfully. As he responded, he couldn't stop a bad feeling from filling his heart.

It was almost as if he was slowly walking towards his own doom.

But in the end, nothing happened.

Hong Long just gave a nod in response to everything that he heard from Hong Gui before turning to walk over to where Lin Fan and the rest were standing.

Hong Gui couldn't help feeling very strange when he saw this and he had many questions about this, but he couldn't ask this since he was in the elders hall.

The elders all noticed this, including the two Great Elders.

As soon as they saw this, they knew that something had to be done or else…there might be the risk of their secret spilling.

So the two Great Elders both gave signals to the elite guards near them to take care of this matter.

Once that was settled, Hong Gui was led out of the elders hall. Though the look on his face made it clear that he wanted to stay here.

Since he had already come here, he wanted to take advantage of this chance and build some rapport with the elders.

Even if the elders remained neutral, it wasn't as if they were made of stone.

There were elders that helped certain people with matters that weren't considered that big, so it would never be bad for Hong Gui to make these connections.

It was just too bad that he didn't get this chance to do so.

He was immediately led out by the elite guards and based on the look on their faces, it was clear that they weren't in any mood to talk to him.

Once Hong Gui was led out, everyone immediately forgot about this and went back to the main topic.

The left Great Elder said, "Your transport has already been prepared and we have already gathered the guards."

The right Great Elder said, "If you'll follow us, we'll bring you there right away."

The two of them stood up, but before they could take a single step, Lin Fan raised his hand.

The two Great Elders and all of the other elders who had been prepared to move were caught off guard by this. They just looked at Lin Fan with confused looks as they waited for him to say something.

Lin Fan looked at the two Great Elders and calmly said, "Thank you for your concern, but we will meet you there when you arrive."

"Huh?"

That was the only thing that the elders could say when they heard what Lin Fan said.

The two Great Elders immediately said, "Void God's successor, what do you mean by this? It is too dangerous for you to travel alone with the true descendant."

Lin Fan didn't listen as he said, "We have some other business to take care of first, so we'll come after taking care of that business."

The two Great Elders blankly looked at each other before turning to look at Hong Long for help.

However, Hong Long just shook his head with a bitter smile.

That was because he had also received the notification from the system just now about the transport to the Phoenix Race homeworld.

He didn't know why there was this sudden notification, but he could guess that it was most likely related to Lin Fan.

He didn't understand the relationship between Lin Fan and the owner of the shop, but there was no denying that they had a close relationship. It was almost as if whenever Lin Fan needed something, the master of the shop would be there to help…

It was almost as if the master of the store was taking orders from Lin Fan…but Hong Long knew that this was impossible.

So he just assumed that it was the master of the store spoiling Lin Fan who was his only disciple.

Seeing that Hong Long wasn't able to help them, the two Great Elders were about to say something else to try and convince Lin Fan otherwise. However, Lin Fan didn't give them that chance since he knew that once the Great Elders started speaking, they would never let him go.

It was the oldest ginseng that was the spiciest, so these Great Elders of the Dragon Race would without a doubt be very shrewd and very good at talking.

Lin Fan raised his hand again and said, "Unfortunately, we don't have any time to spare, so we'll have to leave now."

"Huh?"

The elders said again as they didn't understand what Lin Fan was saying.

But then with a flash of white light, Lin Fan and his companions all disappeared from the spot.

None of the elders were able to do a single thing as Lin Fan and his companions disappeared. They didn't even know where they had gone.

All they could feel was that there were traces of spatial energy that were in the air.

However, not a single elder was able to understand how this was even possible.

After all, this was the most secret and protected place of the Dragon Race. Only those that were at the very peak of the Dragon Race were even allowed in this place.

So naturally this was a place that was covered in arrays that would stop people from coming in with spatial laws. Unless they had a certain item that allowed them to do so, they couldn't use spatial laws here…

No, there was another way for one to use spatial laws here.

They would have to overpower the array that was placed here…that meant that they had to control spatial laws that were at the level of the God Realm…

As they realized this, the elders all couldn't help revealing complicated looks.

They had thought that they had a good idea of what Lin Fan was capable of, but this was like a wrench that had been thrown into their plans. They now realized that they didn't know as much as they thought about this Void God's successor.

Even if they wanted to find out more about them, it was already too late since the Void God's successor was already gone.

The two Great Elders were lost in thought for a bit before suddenly reacting.

The only clue that they had about the Void God's successor and their true descendant was the Phoenix Race homeworld. If they arrived before they arrived, then there was a chance that there would be conflict between them.

If either the Void God's successor or the true descendant was hurt, they wouldn't be able to live with themselves.

So the two Great Elders quickly looked at the elite guards and said, "Go! Go to the Phoenix Race homeworld and find the two of them!"

The elite guards and the elders who had been chosen to head to the Phoenix Race homeworld reacted when they heard this and they quickly headed off without any delay.

The two Great Elders had even wanted to go themselves, but they knew that it was impossible.

They were the Great Elders of the Dragon Race, they were people that couldn't move easily.

If they were to suddenly head to the Phoenix Race homeworld, it would send the wrong message to them. Instead of helping the Void God's successor, they would just be hurting them by making things complicated.

So even if they were agitated, they had no choice but to stay here.

They could only pray that the Void God's successor and their true descendant were safe.

…

When the flash of white light cleared, Lin Fan and the rest looked around themselves.

But after thinking about it, Lin Fan called out Feng Ling and Feng Yu.

They were from the Phoenix Race and this was the Phoenix Race homeworld, so he wanted to see if they knew where they were.

However, neither Feng Ling or Feng Yu recognized this place.

As she looked around, Feng Ling couldn't help becoming more and more confused since she had never seen this place and she reckoned that she was an expert of the Phoenix Race homeworld. After all, she had explored almost every inch of it when she was younger and more wild.

"Just where are we?" Feng Ling couldn't help asking as she looked around.

Lin Fan didn't know what to say since everything had been taken care of by the system.

The system had named this place the Phoenix Race homeworld and had taken care of the teleportation, so there was nothing that he could say about it.

Lin Fan thought about asking the system about this until he looked up at the sky.

When he looked up, he couldn't help being taken aback by what he saw.

After all, this was a scene that he was familiar with.

When they first arrived on the Dragon Race homeworld, they had seen something similar to it.

It was the same rock ceiling that they had seen before.
