The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 293: Hidden Dragon Troupe\'s Main Base.

Shohara turned beet red from being called an idiot, but he didn\'t dare to flare up and asked after taking a deep breath, " What do you mean? "

" Khakakaka. Do you think Yone of the Wild Sun is this tame? He also didn\'t go all out, even when he used his signature technique. "

Shohara was confused, " Why? "

Dreas smiled and looked at the dark orange sphere before speaking, " Because he didn\'t want casualties. You might not know, but the one who came here today is the elite group of Youhan Tree, just like how each of us has a select group of people with unique traits that we nurture for the future benefits of our organizations. Those are the treasures of Youhan Tree and If I killed even one of them, Yone would definitely confront my Dagger\'s tooth. It\'s not worth it for me to kill one of them just to get constant future troubles. "

Shohara understood and nodded, " I see. Forgive my earlier rude question, Sir Dreas Sulik. " Shohara cupped his fist and apologized before he muttered, " So they were the Hidden Dragon Troupe. No wonder they gave me a tough time despite them being an entire order below me. "

Dreas Sulik simply nodded in response before he went to refine the chaos source crystal in the dark orange sphere.

The overall strength of his Dagger\'s Tooth and Urushib Clan is lower than Youhan Tree, and that\'s why he doesn\'t want a direct confrontation with them. He might be a bit stronger than their first leader, but even if that\'s the case, A clear victory is still impossible for him to achieve against Ronak, the first leader of the Youhan Tree.

Youhan Tree had two additional leaders and more overall powerhouses than his Dagger\'s Tooth, so an all-out direct confrontation is disadvantageous or disastrous to his Dagger\'s Tooth, depending on the level of conflict.

\' For now, we should celebrate as our scheme worked and we manage to get one up against Youhan Tree. \'

...

Geographically, Youhan Tree is in the west section of this Dosflame region.

The west section is dominated by three powers: Youhan Tree, Dagger\'s Tooth, and Urushib Clan.

There are other smaller organizations, but they are not a match for these three.

...

Yone, Athan, Reikent, and other members of Hidden Dragon Troupe returned their temporary base in chaos rift.

" Damn it! How did Dreas himself appear there? Doesn\'t he have a more important thing to do? And who is commanding his Dagger\'s tooth if he is there? It\'s not like Dagger\'s tooth has three leaders like our Youhan Tree...Urgh...This shit hurts. "

The lazy Leib seemed to have a mood switch as he cursed and ranted. Others weren\'t surprised about this but Athan was a bit started at Leib\'s change in manner.

Chunshi frowned and said while looking at Leib and Tronel, " You two should get yourselves treated first. Those injuries are a serious deal. "

Yone also nodded with a grim face and said, " Go back. I\'ll contact Holen that two of you are coming there. You both are affected by a higher level of power than what you can handle, and only Holen can heal them. "

Tronel raised his eyebrows and asked, " Didn\'t the third leader went to the Viper Storm region? "

" He did, but he should have returned yesterday. Now go and don\'t waste any more time lest the injuries spread even more. "

Leib and Tronel nodded before they left through a blue portal.

" Let us return to our main base. This chaos rift will shortly disappear after Dreas and Shoraha refine the chaos source crystal of Flamorea CPD. "

...

Athan saw the main base Hidden Dragon Troupe, and it was inside one of the pocket space branches of the Youhan Tree.

But Athan felt that this pocket space branch\'s atmosphere was different from the pocket space branch where he stayed before.

Reiken saw Athan standing still and guessed what he was thinking, " This pocket space branch is indeed different. From the three hundred pocket space branches of these Youhan Tree, Five of them are unique and are called King branches, and this branch is one of the king branches. The special effect of the king branches is that its atmosphere is incredibly calming, and our progression speed is slightly faster here. "

" I see...It does feel very comfortable here. " Athan nodded and replied while soaking himself in this calming atmosphere.

The landscape and nature here weren\'t that different from the branch where he stayed previously, but there are more wooden buildings of various sizes here.

Others were inside their residents and were treating their wounds.

Yone wasn\'t injured, but he went somewhere and told them that he would return soon. So until then, Reikent was showing Athan around.

" This building is Alchemy chamber. The latest member of the hidden dragon troupe before you is surprisingly an Alchemist, so Yone built this for her. "

" That building over there is the personal library of Hidden Dragon Troupe. The scrolls gathered there are what they got while journeying to other places as their trophy of a sort. "

" And that place over there is training field. You can spar with or take pointers from others there. "

Athan nodded as Reikent showed him around.

Finally, Reikent took him to a place where there weren\'t any buildings around, and it was a similar place to where his previous abode was.

There was a waterfall, a river, and short grassy land beside the river. But there wasn\'t an abode here.

" There is currently no place for you to live, so we have to build your abode. This place is pretty good and similar to your previous place. "

Athan nodded with a smile, " Yep. So, When are we going to build my abode? "

He got his answer not from Reikent but from Yone, whose voice he heard behind him.

" You don\'t need to build anything, hahaha. Your abode will be prepared tomorrow. For now, Let\'s give you your reward. "

" Reward? " Athan turned around with a confused expression and asked, " didn\'t we fail the operation? "

Yone nodded with a smile, " Indeed, we failed. But, you still get the reward for participating. Don\'t sweat the details because it\'s not something grand. Now, come with me. "

Saying this, Yone started moving while Athan followed him.

On the other hand, Reikent left this pocket space branch since Yone was already here, and he also had to continue his work and also train himself to get stronger.

While walking, Yone said to Athan, " Remember. You are not a normal member of the Youhan Tree anymore but an important member of the Hidden Dragon Troupe. So, for the reward, I\'ll gear you up a bit and let you pick some order methods and techniques. After you have grasped their early phases, You will be going with Drizzly on a journey to complete a mission and expand your horizons. "
