Chapter 429: Chapter 431: Are You the One Called Yan Xu?
 

Zhu Minglang gave various major forces and clans plenty of time, a whole month for them to search slowly.

He, on the other hand, attended the Yan Clan’s hunting festival as scheduled. Now that Little Qingzhuo had reached Monarch Level, Zhu Minglang was bound to obtain the Blood of the Evil Dragon Essence!

All the spiritual resources needed for Little Qingzhuo during its adulthood had been prepared, and next up was Big Black Tooth’s turn.

Refining Ash Black Dragon.

Recalling the dominance of the Refining Ash Black Dragon back in Yellow Leaf City, Zhu Minglang had a premonition that as long as it was cultivated properly, Big Black Tooth’s power after this Reincarnation Transformation would definitely not be inferior to the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

Zhu Minglang also noticed something, the Little Black Dragon didn’t require many spiritual resources, and its growth rate was clearly faster than that of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

High pedigree, low resource consumption, explosive fighting capability—it felt like the Little Black Dragon was the perfect choice for a poverty-stricken Dragon Shepherd…

Ancient Dragons prioritize food, focusing on combat, continuous battles can bring out their strength and potential.

Therefore, Zhu Minglang had no intention of missing out on the hunting festival. Keeping Little Black Dragon passionate about fighting was the best way to nurture it.

Of course, Zhu Minglang now had the means, even if Little Black Dragon didn’t consume many resources, he would still spare no expense on enhancing its spiritual resources!

It was already very formidable, but it could become even stronger.

Defying the odds and taking on challenges above one’s level was truly a man’s romance!

…

The Refining Ash Black Dragon had a huge appetite, and the meat of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was not unlimited.

The meat of a thousand-year-old beast actually already satisfied all the nutrition needed by the Refining Ash Black Dragon. Suddenly, Zhu Minglang found himself missing his Dragon Food steward—procurement was indeed not an easy task. In order to save time, Zhu Minglang could not compare prices, and ended up spending some unnecessary money.

After purchasing the thousand-year-old beast meat and having it delivered to his residence at the Dragon Taming High Court, Zhu Minglang then headed to the hunting grounds of the Yan Clan.

The hunting festival seemed to have been held for many years, and had already developed a rather complete system.

The hunters would gather in a magnificent hall where they enjoyed fine wine and food. Aside from the participants, there were also no shortage of rich and noble audiences.

This hunting festival was essentially a game for the nobility.

“I thought you weren’t coming. You had me breaking out in a cold sweat,” Luo Shaoyan said to Zhu Minglang with a sigh of relief.

“Went out to buy some Dragon Food, so I got here late,” Zhu Minglang replied.

“Come, let me introduce you to some peers for you to get acquainted with,” Luo Shaoyan said with a smile.

Zhu Minglang was led to an elegant seating area where he saw several young women dressed beautifully. They were chatting and laughing, maintaining the poised and generous demeanor of noble ladies while exhibiting the right amount of reserve and elegance.

“This is Zhu Minglang, the one who defeated Guan Wenqi, the little genius of the outer court,” Luo Shaoyan said solemnly as he approached the ladies to introduce Zhu Minglang.

“Who’s Guan Wenqi?” one of the soft-haired, charming girls asked with a smile.

“I don’t know either,” Zhu Minglang responded, blinking.

At the neighboring seating area, Guan Wenqi, who had also come to participate in the hunt, frowned and cast a cold glance at Zhu Minglang and the giggling ladies.

“Haha, Guan Wenqi might have a bit of fame in our High Court, but among all forces and great clans, he might just be ordinary. Anyway, this is my friend, Zhu Minglang. He will join me in this hunt, and if you ladies encounter any ruthless Demon Lords in the hunting grounds, don’t be afraid. We will protect you!” Luo Shaoyan laughed as he spoke.

“Don’t push it too far. I’m sitting right here. Even if you want to talk behind someone’s back, can’t you keep your voice down?” Guan Wenqi suddenly stood up, his face red with anger!

Zhu Minglang feigned surprise—as it turned out, his defeated opponent was sitting right beside them.

What a coincidence.

“So it’s you, Guan Wenqi, have you also come to participate in this extremely dangerous hunt?” Luo Shaoyan had actually noticed him earlier, otherwise he wouldn’t have mentioned his name directly when introducing Zhu Minglang.

“Luo, what business is it of yours what happens between Zhu Minglang and me? That contest was nothing more than my own underestimation. Didn’t you see I didn’t even call out my other dragons?” Guan Wenqi always thought highly of himself, little did he know that his reputation had suffered greatly after that defeat.

He deliberately attended this hunting event specifically to restore his honor!

Many students within the academy are only good at theoretical discussion and lack real combat ability, but Guan Wenqi is different!

“Oh, oh, then make sure to perform well this time and don’t disgrace our first-year students at the Dragon Taming High Court again,” Luo Shaoyan said with a smile.

“You… you second-generation scion of the Luo Mountain Sect, what right do you have to criticise me? Do you dare to compete with me?” Guan Wenqi said angrily.

“You’re not worthy,” Luo Shaoyan replied with a smug laugh.

“Am I worthy then, young master of the Luo Mountain?” At that moment, a tall man approached, flashing a confident smile at Luo Shaoyan.

Luo Shaoyan’s smile immediately vanished.

Zhu Minglang didn’t recognize the man, but for some reason, he felt that the man’s face bore an untamed quality.

“Why, if it isn’t Young Master Yan Xu, long time no see. ” At that moment, the short-haired, charming woman greeted him with a blooming smile, taking the initiative to say hello.

“Miss Ke, why bother dealing with a loafing scion of the Luo family? Come, join us at our table instead,” Yan Xu said to the short-haired charming woman.

“Sure, Young Master Luo of Luo Mountain, pardon us for being rude. After all, the Yan Clan is hosting this hunting event, and it wouldn’t be right to refuse the host’s invitation,” Ke Ning said.

Having said that, Ke Ning then spoke a few words to her two sisters.

Although the other two women also felt it was quite impolite, they still followed Ke Ning’s decision and moved to the seats arranged by Yan Xu.

Luo Shaoyan’s face started to look a bit ugly.

He had invited them first, only to have them snatched away by Yan Xu in the end!

“Luo Shaoyan, does the Yan Clan need to arrange a few guards for you? I’m genuinely concerned that those Demon Lords might tear you apart. Among the murderer Demon Lords I know, there are some who enjoy cracking open skulls to feast on brains,” Yan Xu said.

“No need, just take care of yourself. Don’t end up killed by a convict of your own Yan Clan, or else this hunting event won’t be able to continue,” Luo Shaoyan replied.

“Hahaha, that’s none of your concern. Oh, and this here is Zhu Minglang, I heard he’s from the Li Chuan Wild Chicken Academy? Not bad, lucky to have defeated my little cousin,” Yan Xu said, his gaze landing on Zhu Minglang.

“Are you Yan Xu, son of Yan Zhen?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“That’s me, what about it?” replied Yan Xu with that confident smile.

“Nothing, just asking. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Zhu Minglang also smiled, with a purity as if he were a reclusive young man untainted by the material world.

Yan Xu.

Zhu Minglang was not hearing this name for the first time.

In recent days, Han Wen had come to see him and talked to him about Yan Zhen.

She told him that besides Yan Zhen, his son Yan Xu was also among those who had ambushed them on the Absolute Sea Demon Island.

It was Yan Xu who had contacted Inspector Lyu and forced him to betray the movements of the Great Instructor.

So you are Yan Xu?

It was you and your father Yan Zhen who cornered us on that Demon Island, wasn’t it?
