Chapter 353 Dragon Palace (1/2)

After leaving the Dragon Palace, Captain Cheng returned to the building where Yuan and Wang Xiuying were being held.

”Are the humans still inside?” Captain Cheng asked the guards standing outside.

”Yes, Captain! Nobody has entered or left this place ever since you left!” The guards responded.

”Good.”

Captain Cheng went inside a moment later to see Yuan and Wang Xiuying sitting in their jail cell with bored-looking expressions on their faces.

”Guards! Open the cells!” Captain Cheng said to them.

”Yes, Captain!” The guards didn't question him and immediately opened the cell doors.

”Are we free?!” Wang Xiuying's face immediately brightened.

”No, you're not free. You're coming with me now.” Captain Cheng said to them.

”Oh…” Wang Xiuying sighed after hearing this and returned to look dispirited.

Once they were outside, Captain Cheng carried the two of them into the skies using Qi Manipulation.

”You're… a Spirit King?” Yuan recognized his spiritual energy. However, it was much more powerful than Senior Nie's and even Xiao Hua's cultivation. If he had to take a guess, this person was around the peak of Spirit King.

Captain Cheng looked at Yuan and said, ”You can tell? Not bad for someone only in the Spirit Grandmaster realm.”

”Only?” Wang Xiuying raised her eyebrows. ”How powerful are the people here when you make it sound like Spirit Grandmasters are insignificant?”

”Hmph. You're from the Lower Heavens so Spirit Grandmasters are probably the peak of cultivation there and are revered by everyone and their mother. However, in this world, Spirit Grandmasters are only qualified to become bodyguards at best!”

”What? Bodyguards at best?” Wang Xiuying stared at him with a dazed look on her face, as she was having trouble imagining the power scale of this place.

”Just where are we, exactly?” Yuan asked him a moment later.

”You're currently in the Ancient Dragon City, a place isolated from the Nine Heavens. In other words, we don't belong to the Nine Heavens. However, if we were, we would probably exist somewhere in the middle of the Nine Heavens.”

”So even higher than the Spirit Heavens? Amazing.” Yuan expressed his admiration.

”Spirit Heavens? Hah! That place is like a backwater area compared to our sacred place!” Captain Cheng laughed out loud.

Sometime later, Yuan asked, ”By the way, where are we heading? We've been traveling for almost an hour now.”

”It's a place that's too good for you humans, that's for sure. We're almost there. I'll explain it more once we get there.”

A few more minutes later, Captain Cheng started descending from the skies.

”That's… a palace? What a beautiful place.” Yuan expressed his admiration for the palace made out of white jade.

”A breathtaking place, indeed…” Wang Xiuying mumbled with a dazed look on her face.

Once they landed, Captain Cheng said to them, ”This is the Dragon Palace, where the Royal Family lives.”
