Azure Dragon Continent

"Many experts had witnessed the heavenly phenomenon and they should be roughly able to guess the location. Even though I don't know what they intended to do, I am sure it isn't something you can oppose.

"Boy, If you want to protect yourself and your daughter, you should just leave her to me. They won't dare to forcefully seize her from me. After all, I'm Mingyu's grand-father. Her special status is not something anyone could provoke" Lin Deming said with a gentle tone.

Lin Deming never intended to let him take the girl away. The little girl is a never seen heavenly genius, a heaven sent gift which can raise the his status in this world by a lot. If he raise her personally and make her obedient, wouldn't he possess a supreme expert in the future?

That is why he specially made Lin Mingyu unconciousness as he know he would never be able get his hands on the baby within her presence. After that he just had to threaten, persuade this weak boy to hand the baby over. He doesn't want to be forceful because of the Nascent Soul presences outside.

After convincing Li Wei, he will take the baby and hide her away.

Even if Lin Mingyu asks later, he could just push the blame onto Li Wei.

Everything is perfect but he underestimated Li Wei's determination.

"Li Wei thanks elder for his concern but I can take care of my girl" Li Wei uttered coldly and slowly walked out of Lin clan manor.

Lin Dimeng brows knitted together, "Boy, Don't be stubborn this time. I don't know where your confidence coming from, but don't count on my grand-daughter's status. Except for the members of the Lin clan, no one know that girl is Mingyu's daughter. Even if you told them, no one will believe you." he spoke confidently. This time he is confident Li Wei will do as he said.

But he was disappointed because Li Wei never turned back.

"What a stubborn fool, I will see how you are going to overcome this" Lin Dimeng muttered; and he too walked out slowly.

The Lin clan's martial ground is vast without any buildings in it. Usually, this place is used by the Lin clan juniors to practice martial skills and to spar with others. But today, the whole place is empty and deserted.

Li Wei, holding the baby in his arms, stood in the center of the martial ground calmly like a tall mountain facing the stormy winds. Under the warm light of nine suns in the sky, his peerless beautiful face shone with a heavenly splendor.

Lin Dimeng too stood there not too far way, looking at the sky with serious expression on his face.

Soon, multiple figures could be seen in the sky. Those figures became clearer and cleared as time passed. The air trembled, the Profound energy in the surrounding became chaotic.

A kind of suppressive vibe formed in the Lin clan's martial ground.

In a few seconds, more than a dozen majestic figures landed on the ground not too far away from Li Wei. Each of them had a unique temperament of their own; and they maintained some distances from others. Cautious expressions appeared their faces as they tried probe the others. As for Li Wei and Lin Dimeng, they never placed them in their at all.

Lin Deming started observing the faces of figures one by one, his expression became more and more surprised. His heart started beating furiously but soon he calmed down. His status as a 3-star achemist and head tutor of Sky Kingdom might be nothing in their eyes but he has something more to rely on. So, he isn't anxious at all.

While the 'guests' are trying to probe each other, a voice enter their ears which grabbed everyone's attention.

"Eh? brother Dimeng? What are you doing here?" one of the figures asked in a suprised tone. The one who spoke was an old man with a Nascent Soul 6th stage cultivation. There was a Hexagonal shaped blue badge, embedded with 5 golden stars at its each corner, which represented a 5-star alchemist.

Lin Deming turned his gaze to look at the figure, his expression brightened. He laughed "haha, So its Senior brother Shihong. Forgive this little brother for not welcoming you in advance".

"No, no. Why would I blame you? Its this Gu's fault for not informing you beforehand. I was in rush so I didn't notice this place was Green Cloud City." Gu Shihong replied courteously.

Suprised expression appeared on others' faces as they heard the conversation.

"Sect master Gu, this is?" another Nascent Soul Master asked in a doubful tone. Everyone else also nodded their heads wanting to know the person, who can make the sect master of Tri-Cauldron sect respectful.

After all, the Tri-Cauldron sect is one of influencial forces in the Azure Dragon Continent. As the sect master of Tri-Cauldron sect, Gu Shihong's position is not low at all.

Such a powerful figure showed courtesy towards a Core Formation cultivator. That means that person must have connections with a powerful existence or he should have strong force behind his back. So, they indeed want to know who this Core Formation cultivator is.

The Azure Dragon Continent had different levels of forces ruling over it. First, the Great Dragon Empire, a force which held a supreme status in the Continent.

Rumor has it that the First emperor of the Great Dragon Empire did a huge favor to a snake when he was a child. After a couple of centuries, the snake transformed into a Divine beast, an Azure dragon.

Before ascending to higher realms, it gave 3 drops of it's blood essence to him. Using the Divine dragon's blood essence, the first Emperor of the Empire became an invincible existence and the Ruler of this land. To honour the prestige of the Divine dragon, he named the Continent as Azure Dragon Continent. After 20,000 thousands years, though the Great Dragon Empire was weakened by a lot, it is still a force to reckon with.

Next, the 4 Super sects: the Myriad Dao sect, the Sacred Soul sect, the Blood Asura sect and Heavens Favoured sect. The first 3 sects are slightly less powerful than the current Great Dragon Empire. They all had atleast 10,000 years of history and strong foundations as well.

As for Heavens Favoured sect, it was weakest of them all. Infact, some of the sub-sects under the other 3 Super sects are more powerful than it. The heavens Favoured sect appeared in the Continent a 1,000 years ago so its foundation is also the weakest. The reason it became a Super sect is a mystery!

Next, the sub-sects, the sects under of super sects. The Tri-Cauldron Sect is a sub sect under the Myriad Dao sect. These sects has true influence in the mortal kingdoms like Sky kingdom. After all, the Super sects wouldn't care much about the mortal kingdoms so the sub sects have full authority over mortal kingdoms.

These are not the only strong forces in the Continents, there are also others like the Alchemy Association, whose strength is said to compareble with any Super sect; many seclusive hidden clans; Demonic factions, others. Their strengths shouldn't be underestimated at all.
