Chapter 0738: Dragon's Fang Mountain Range

When Li Luo left his cabin, the flying ship was slowing down and gliding across the sky. His gaze was first directed beneath him as a majestic city of considerable scale had appeared before him. It was so vast that he could not even see the end, and above the city were countless beams of light that ascended into the sky. They were all connected together in some sort of ward that enveloped the entire city.

The most impressive, grandiose city he had seen till now was Xia City.

However, Xia City looked like a shabby, backward city compared to the sight before him.

"This is Dragon's Fang City, the largest city in the Dragon's Fang Domain. However, this is not where we are headed to," Li Rouyun explained, and Li Luo turned to look in the direction she was pointing at. It was a range of mountains that were so enormous, they seemed to cover the sky. Each one was tens of thousands of meters tall.

Additionally, these mountains were extremely steep and precipitous. From afar, they looked like individual fangs of a massive dragon that were interspersed between the heavens and the earth. An indescribable sense of ferociousness rippled throughout the entire expanse ,and anyone who looked at it would feel their hair raising.

"I would like to welcome you to the Dragon's Fang Mountain Range." Li Rouyun gave a smile.

With a wave, the flying ship advanced towards the mountains. Li Luo could see the space in front of him rippling as though they were cruising across the surface of a lake. As the flying ship made its way across, the scenery before him seemed to have transformed as countless jade dwellings appeared. Row upon row of white jade pavilions emerged amidst the lush, green shade of the forests on the mountains, shining like resplendent jewels encrusted within a crown. Between the structures were also massive, floating stones that served as guiding roads for one to travel between them.

It was a breathtaking and awe-inspiring sight.

Of course, what shocked Li Luo the most was the energy that flowed within the area. The worldly natural energy here was immensely dense and pristine, far exceeding anything he had ever seen before.

The worldly natural energy seemed to have taken the form of the mist that flowed throughout these mountains.

There were also countless human figures below, with countless flying ships shuffling back and forth, traversing the area. However, if Li Luo was not wrong, there were numerous gazes directed towards the flying ship he was on.

Li Rouyun urged the flying ship to pass through the mountains, and a moment later, a gigantic mountain that dwarfed all of the previous ones appeared. Size-wise, it seemed to be able to tower over the world, and it looked like a gigantic, sharp tooth. Right above the mountain peak was a group of clouds with a hole in the middle, as though they had been pierced through by some sort of invisible energy that penetrated the skies.

"This is Dragon's Fang Mountain. It is the location where decisions are made by the highest authorities of the Dragon's Fang Lineage. Li Luo, Grandpa is awaiting you inside. Other than that, the four other Hall Masters should have arrived, including your two uncles."

Li Luo nodded. Along the way, Li Rouyun also explained some of the internal matters within the Dragon's Fang Lineage, including the fact that his grandpa, Li Jingzhe, had three sons. The oldest was Li Qingpeng, the second oldest was Li Jinpan, and the third was his father, Li Taixuan.

Thus, in terms of seniority, Li Qingpeng was his oldest uncle and Li Jinpan was his second uncle. In terms of familial relationships, they were much closer to him than Li Rouyun.

Li Luo silently sighed within. So many blood relatives had suddenly appeared one after another, but due to how foreign they were to him, dealing with them would definitely be a headache.

"You don't need to worry about this. Both of your uncles are decent people. Senior Li Qingpeng is a friendly fellow, and Li Jinpan might be a little strict, but he is just and upright. Most importantly, all of them have been looking forward to welcoming you home." Li Rouyun seemed to be able to read Li Luo's mind, and she smiled and consoled him.

Li Luo helplessly smiled and nodded. At this point, was he just going to turn tail and return home? That wouldn't be an easy task in any way.

After they finished speaking, the flying ship landed atop a stone platform near the peak of the mountain. On it was a stone staircase that ascended upwards, and one could see it leading towards an antique pavilion.

Additionally, countless individuals were standing around on both sides of the platform. Even the trees on the mountain were filled with curious onlookers who were watching the flying ship.

When Li Rouyun's flying ship landed, two young figures came forth to receive them from the crowd.

"Aunt Yun." One was a male and the other a female, both respectfully saluting Li Rouyun.

"Oh! It's Jingtao and Fengyi." Li Rouyun smiled as she nodded at them.

Li Luo, who was standing behind her, felt his heart tremble slightly. He already knew that his Eldest Uncle had a son, Li Jingtao, and the Second Uncle had a daughter, Li Fengyi. These were his elder cousins.

Li Luo first turned his attention to the young and sturdily built male. He had a head of short hair and seemed slightly chubby with slightly long arms. He possessed a warm demeanor and had a smile on his face, with a leisurely expression. In a sense, he gave off the feeling of someone who was a little lazy and probably knew how to enjoy himself.

He was nowhere as tyrannical as his name might have suggested, instead giving off a lackadaisical air.

The young lady, on the other hand, seemed much more outstanding in comparison.

She was tall and slender and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. She possessed beautiful facial features, especially her nose, which was slightly upturned, causing her cheeks to look more pronounced and sharper. When coupled with her willow-like eyebrows, she gave off a sharp air like a well-maintained sword.

A red girdle was tied around her slender waist, and it gave off the feeling that was both capable and strong, constantly seeking to improve herself.

This was the daughter of his Second Uncle, Li Fengyi. As Li Luo sized up the two, their gazes similarly fell upon him as well.

After which, a look of amazement flashed through their eyes at the same time.

The youth before them was tall and slender with a head of grayish-white hair that made him stand out. His facial features resembled Li Taixuan's when he was younger, but none of this detracted from his handsome looks.

He had a pair of bright and calm eyes. Despite supposedly being from the outer divine continents, he did not possess any sense of being ill at ease when faced with the sheer grandeur of Dragon's Fang Mountain.

Li Luo felt a little helpless when he was being sized up by these two. Frankly speaking, he had not a clue how his Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle thought of him. Even though they were his father's brothers, it was more common than not to see siblings struggle bitterly against each other in such a massive clan. Just looking at the Regent was sufficient proof of how "compassionate and loving" an uncle could be. As a result, the First Princess and the Regent clashed to the point where blood was spilled.

And the Dragon's Fang Lineage was an even juicier pie when compared to the Xia Kingdom.

Thus, if these two uncles were wary of his father, their children would not treat him kindly either. Additionally, such a brilliant father would be their biggest competitor.

This was the unfortunate but oft seen result.

If this so-called Elder Brother and Second Sister sought to make things difficult for him in the future, such as humiliating him with his "bumpkin" status before he even entered the clan, it would be just another normal occurrence within a power struggling family.

As Li Luo's thoughts continued to wander, Li Jingtao curiously walked forward and stood before Li Luo with a smile.

"Li Luo?" he asked.

Li Luo calmly nodded in response.

At this point, a strange brilliance bloomed within his eyes as he stretched out his long limbs to hug him in ecstasy, happily shouting, "Little Brother, you've suffered! Quickly, call me ‘Elder Brother!’"

Although Li Luo had made all sorts of preparations in his head to deal with his cousins, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

This cheap Elder Brother seemed to be a little addled.
