Friends From Afar

After the competition of the Zhang clan's, the news of the top three winners also spread out in the entire empire, even some people in the border countries also caught the glimpse of this news too.

A dew days after the competition, the top five rankers descendants were allowed to move into the Zhang clan.

Zhang Hongxie got the most special privilege because of his first ranking. The other four just got the normal privilege.

...

On one seemingly peaceful day, in an unknown location. The sky suddenly cracked and three figures could be seen walking out of the crack.

After they got out of the crack, they gazed at the surroundings with disdain. Among the three, there was a young youth and two middle-aged men.

The two middle-aged men's attitudes toward the young youth in the front was very respectful. They stood behind the youth with straight backs without saying anything.

The clothes that the three of them wore were very luxurious filled with strange patterns and images on it.

"Is this really the Divine Elementals World?" The youth in the front asked.

"Yes, young master, this is indeed the Divine Elementals World which I believe that the treasure we need is located in here." Replied the middle-aged man who was standing on the right.

The youth's expression remained cold and said "This world is like trash yet it has that treasure hidden in here. Look, the Qi here is so impure and scarce. Despite that, I see that there are still quite a lot of immortals remain inactive."

"Young master, as far as I know, originally this world was one of the top prosperous world in ancient time, however it had become so weak after that war." This time it was the man on the left side who spoke.

"Humph, no matter how strong they were in the past, but now the people here are weak as ant in front of me. Finding that treasure shouldn't be hard for us." The youth said.

"Let's not idle here anymore, let us go find the treasure. If we succeed, then my position in the clan will rise and so are you two." He continued with a smirk as he glanced back at his two subordinates with the corner of his eyes.

"Of course young master." The two behind replied at the same time as they glanced at each other and rose the corner of their mouths.

Whoosh

In the blink of an eye, the newly-arrived company disappeared from the spot and gone to god knows where.

Autumn Wind Province

This was where the West branch of Zhang clan located. This province had the most beautiful scenery in the entire empire. There were many mountains and hills here, the normal people of this province were mostly farmers.

Many people from the other provinces or even the foreigners from the border empire would always want to visit here to see the beautiful scenery, especially the massive garden called Tears of Fairy Garden.

In there, people could see all kinds of flowers and trees, there were even some of the ancient ones too. When people come here, they just want to spend the rest of their life in there, it wasn't different from the fairy land. Butterflies and other kinds of beautiful creatures could also be found in here too.

Many people would also wonder that, if there were so many precious stuffs in here, but why did the owner still let people enjoy watching them? Did they not afraid of people stealing it?

The answer is, there was no need to worry about it that much. There were eighteen arrays which positioned themselves to protect this garden from the attacks and also prevent people from harming or stealing the stuffs in the garden. As soon as the malicious intent was detected, the array would instantly activate and make that person disappears from this world.

The eighteen arrays weren't your average and low tier arrays either, they were high tier arrays that were constructed by the people from the main Zhang clan, when the whole eighteen arrays were activated, it could defend against early stage Immortal King realm cultivators.

Yes, the owner of this garden was the West branch of the Zhang clan.

Three people could be seen flying in the sky, they were the three people which appeared from the cracked sky earlier. They arrived at the Autumn Country for quite a while now.

Not long after, they soon arrived at the Autumn city. They could see a long row of people were standing and waiting for their turn to go into the city. However, these three people didn't stop here, they just directly flew into the city.

The people on the ground also noticed them, and soon they whispered among each other and some even exclaimed loudly "Look, they are flying, wow who are they? They look so strong."

"Are they people from the Zhang clan? But I don't recognize even one of them."

...

As for the guards, they didn't dare stopping those three people from flying into the city. In fact, there was rule which said that, no one is allowed to fly into the city. But this rule only applied to the people who flew with their flying beast, they actually didn't refer to the people who could fly by their own.

When the guards saw this, they immediately ran toward the city lord mansion to report about this situation.

The city lord was a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows like sword. His face was clean without mustache or beard. One could instantly tell that he's a very strong person. His name is called Lei Jian.

He was sitting and sipping tea with a very elegant manner as a noble should have. However, there was suddenly a shout from outside.

"City lord, there's an emergence report."

"Come in."

"Reporting city lord, just now there were three people flying into the city. But I didn't dare to stop them. They weren't people from the Zhang clan either." The guard said everything in one breath.

"I know, you can go now." Lei Jian said with a normal attitude, his expression didn't change even a tiny bit, it was just casual as before. It was as if he already knew about it.

"Yes sir."

After that, Lei Jian rose the tea cup and smelled the fragrance of the tea then sipped it a bit and put it down. Then he stood up and said "Friends from afar, this one doesn't know the purpose of your visit, if you don't mind the please share it with me."

Clap clap

"Impressive, for a normal advanced stage Immortal Foundation cultivator like you to be able to detect us. Very impressive." The young youth and his two subordinates appeared in front of Lei Jian, while he kept clapping his hands but his expression remained cold as before.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Dongfang Xiu. I am the third young master of the Dongfang clan from the Immortal Realm. And these two elders behind me are my clan's elders, the blue robe is Lu Lun and the brown robe is Zhong Yi." He introduced himself and his company with a kind of arrogant attitude.

Lei Jian's expression remained the same and he started to say "Oh, so it's young master Dongfang Xiu, this one's name is Lei Jian the city lord of this Autumn city."

"You, you heard it's our young master Dongfang, then why didn't kneel down and greet him properly?" The blue-robed Lu Lun suddenly said to Lei Jian as if he was dissatisfied with Lei Jian's attitude toward their young master.

"Hoh, why do I need to kneel? Young master Dongfang isn't my master or my parents, there's no need to kneel right?" Lei Jian said this as he smiled a little to the three.

"Humph, you lowly ant dare to not kneel in front of young master? Let me teach you how to be a good dog." Lu Lun said as he stepped forward and release his oppressive aura as a peak stage immortal king but he didn't manage to, because Dongfang Xiu stopped him.

"Sorry for that, my subordinate has quite a bad temper, please forgive him." Dongfang Xiu said to Lei Jian as he smiled a little, but it was a cold one.
