Chapter 7 - Ancestor of dragon night

"I know that already because it's the former emperor of dragon night from the past. That man… I can't read his mind at all, he planned not just the current situation but also the future."

"You know him my ancestors?" His eyes were full of curiosity.

The senior said it gently "Of course, I know them all, I've been in all of your ancestors, teaching and guiding them"

"They have their own path and own uniqueness. The one's who standout the most was the Eternal Light Dragon, Lucian."

"He gave me goosebumps everytime I see it."

He also added a little information about the clan long before the dragon night clan moved to the star called Astral heaven. They always traveled around the universe to found a new home. 

They either destroy or accidentally destroy their home planet living the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Ground floating at the destroyed planet. But most of the time they keep encountering more and more powerful enemy.

"You said you're the 87th emperor of the Dragon night. That's weird since the disappearance of the Eternal Light dragon, the 19th emperor. I never woken up until recently"

"Because, I'm fated to wake you up senior—" Nexus was stopped mid sentence "No, its not you. The former emperor before you, Lucius…" A silence in a few seconds.

Nexus uttered in confusion "What's strange about that? it's not like my father wasn't an emperor but also had the blood of dragon night"

"I know what you're trying to say, I awakened inside of you exactly when he's calling me, when I peaked inside of lucius I found nothing of me inside of him… I don't understand"

"But yeah… Let's go to the underworld where slave market is" 

Nexus just obeyed him without any hesitation, nothing will changed because he too was also confused.

Nexus took the little fox with him, and set out to the world.

A blazing sun was shining upon the earth, and a great wasteland with nothing on to be seen except to the carriage with a fire camel leading the way.

On the inside, there's a group of 7 fierce looking people. Each was wearing an armor and swords.

A mercenary.

A mercenary was the most trusted employee you can hire in this type of job. They can do everything the employer said as long as the money was alright, nexus and the little fox was sitted at side of the carriage.

Since yesterday there's no one uttered a word. They've been wondering who is he? how high is his status on the forbidden land.

Because they were personally been hired by the old monsters by casually looking at the city goods outside the forbidden land.

'He can't be an cultivator right?' the thoughts of the leader, with a scar on his right eye. 'I can't sense any spiritual energy on him, but why do I feel so tiny in front of him'.

"Feel free to talk" nexus said.

"Is this your first time going outside?" Jake the squad leader said.

"No" A flash back of memories came back. In the past when in the palace at night, Nexus was sneakily going out a lot. Sucked the money dry out of the gambling house. Winning the championship of the war games for a 5 whole straight years. Lastly reads and memories the entire library of Dragon night.

He's basically the EMPIRE itself of the Dragon Night right now, even though it's been massacred one sidedly.

"I see…" Jake said.

"We have arrived at the Barak" A city where in the great wasteland in the south of the forbidden land.

The massive gate was slowly openings after confirming their intention and identity.

The buildings and surroundings was not that much different from the others. They went straight to the famous restaurant of barak.

Finally a week of a journey "I could finally eat some decent food" Nexus with his growling stomach.

The restaurant consisted of two floors, where the high-ranking officials or powerful in the second floor.

"We should go to the upper floor sir" Rael the leader said.

"No, its a waste of time why bother going up when we're at the same space." nexus uttered.

Thud—

At the second floor a loud thud sound after forcefully destroying it with physical force. The man hearing what nexus said, Shouted in anger "You low life, how dare you associated me with this low life."

Nexus didn't bother looking at his direction and proceed sitting at chair around the corner.

"This guy… I will kill you!!" a flying sword has been materialized around his hand.

He pointed towards nexus and flew in a fast speed. "Block it!!" The mercenary group managed to blocked the flying swords.

A peak golden core realm immortal against the group of middle and late golden core realm.

"You're lucky, then how about this" A hundred of flying swords has been materialized circulating around him.

Couldn't wait anymore so, he charge the swords. "We can't blocked this anymore" Jake said and looked at nexus close eyes.

"You've got guts to cause commotion in my inn" A voice echoed throughout the inn.

 A figure stepped up in the dark side, A bearded man about 7feet tall with a huge body. Drave, The mad barbarian. He was also the master of the famous restaurant of Barak.

"Go outside if you want to fight not in my restaurant, or else you I will personally throw you out"

"Tchhh— I will remember this one, let's go" The guy from the ancient beast sect said and hold a grudge against nexus before going out to the inn.

"Hmm" Drave.

After that all of the guests from first and second floor don't dare to say anything. They didn't want to be an enemy.

The silence goes on for a few minutes but afterwards it became noisy.

A staff delivered their foods.

They fill up their belly until it bloated, and they went to the inn for overnight lodgings.

Nexus goes up to the highest floor where there's only one room available while the others in the lower floor just beneath his room.

"I could finally rest… The guy from earlier" He whispered, recalling commotion earlier "The same patterns of cultivator I saw when the empire was massacred, the white tiger clan… I will pay you a visit later" He's voice softened but deep inside filled with rage.
