Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 531 - 532 Dragon Group [First Update]

Wu Tian returned to the Surface World but did not let Liu Tianji and the others follow. Instead, he instructed them to stay behind and help No Heaven Villa establish a new set of rules to be promulgated throughout the Underground World.

It’s time to change the customs of the Underground World.

Those who followed him would live in peace.

Those who opposed him would be executed without mercy!

Liu Tianji and the others understood Wu Tian’s intentions. They nodded in unison and shouted, "Yes!"

Wu Tian then left the Underground World, accompanied by the little guy, Little Kirin, Little Phoenix, and Little Kunpeng. The moment they reached the surface, his phone regained its signal, and he immediately received a text message from the Lord of the Four Seas. Now that the Dragon Country had two rulers, the Lord of the Four Seas couldn’t swallow his pride enough to call Wu Tian, resorting to a text instead.

"Urgent matter. Come to the Dragon Country Security Department immediately!" Along with the message was a map showing the department’s location.

The Security Department of the Dragon Country was often referred to simply as National Security. Its protection was the responsibility of the Dragon Group.

The original Dragon Group was composed of Superhumans funded and trained by the Dragon Country. It was first called the Divine Dragon Squad, later shortened to the Dragon Group as it grew in size and strength, with current numbers ranging from around one hundred to two thousand members. Rumor had it that all members were the Dragon Country’s super-soldiers, with some young agents dispersed along the nation’s borders. Their primary mission was to protect the status and security of the Dragon Country; they would not make an appearance unless there was a significant threat or breach of security.

If it weren’t something major, the Lord of the Four Seas wouldn’t have contacted him. Wu Tian wondered what on earth could be going on. He shook his head and, with the little guy and his companions in tow, boarded the Phoenix and set off for Longjing.

In Longjing, there was a river named the Qin Huang River. The founding ancestor of the country once wrote a poem about it:

Heavy rains fall upon the lands of You and Yan,

White waves surging to the heavens.

Beyond the isle of Qinhuang, fishing boats vanish,

Lost to sight in the boundless ocean.

Who can say where they have drifted?

A thousand years of history have passed,

Since Emperor Wu of Wei brandished his whip,

Leaving his lasting poem east of Jieshi.

The bleak autumn wind is here again,

But the world of men has been transformed.

Wu Tian and his party soon arrived.

"Where is the Dragon Group? Where could they be?" the little guy asked, looking around. There were quite a few people by the river, but he knew they were just tourists visiting the Qin Huang River.

"The location of National Security, the home of the Dragon Group, how could it be easily found?" Wu Tian chuckled as he stroked the little guy’s head.

The map sent by the Lord of the Four Seas only indicated the location of the Qin Huang River. It didn’t say where the Dragon Group was at all! This must be a test from him.

"Follow me."

Carrying the little guy and leading the three little beasts, Wu Tian waited for a moment when no one was watching and dove straight into the Qin Huang River.

In the current era of technology, underwater tunnels were commonplace, so a building at the bottom of a river was nothing extraordinary. Indeed, deep within the Qin Huang River, there was a structure. An average person without any equipment could dive about ten meters deep. Someone with a weaker constitution might only manage five, while a professional could reach about thirty. The structure, however, was situated more than a hundred meters below the surface. Without advanced equipment, it was impossible to reach.

But for Wu Tian, this was a trivial matter. Enveloped in a soft light, he quickly arrived before the building. It resembled the legendary Underwater Dragon Palace, yet it was clearly a modern marvel of engineering, exuding a sense of advanced technology rather than mythological grandeur.

A hatch slid open, and Wu Tian and his companions entered.

"Wow, wow, wow, this place is amazing!" Growing up, the little guy had never seen such a high-tech place with his own eyes and couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.

"You could say this is the most mysterious place in the entire Dragon Country," Wu Tian said.

Holding the little guy, Wu Tian walked inside. In an instant, his Spiritual Sense swept through the entire facility, seeing through everything, inside and out. The place was like a military-controlled zone, complete with a command building, an armory, a plaza for various vehicles, and even guest quarters for operatives or visitors. Similar establishments existed in other countries, such as the Roswell Base in Area 51 of the United States of America, where it was rumored scientists were still studying an alien airship that had crashed decades ago.

At that moment, two people approached, having been ordered to guide Wu Tian.

"This Martial God is really something, isn’t he? He killed the Sword Emperor and wiped out the Sword Demon. He single-handedly averted the crisis of a dynastic change," a woman said, her tone dripping with sourness.

On the day the Lord of the Four Seas was taken hostage by the Sword Demon, the long-inactive Dragon Group had prepared to deploy. But unexpectedly, just as they had finished gearing up, Wu Tian’s daughter had engaged the Sword Demon and killed him. Everything was resolved just like that, leaving nothing for the Dragon Group to do. All their preparations had been for naught.

"Our leader, Zhan Long, had assigned that operation to our Azure Dragon Team. As its captain, I was thrilled. I picked out a lot of top-tier equipment, but it all went to waste. I was the butt of jokes for days," Azure Dragon grumbled. It was obvious to anyone that he was displeased.

The leader of the Dragon Group was Zhan Long, flanked by two Elders, Wei Long and Mian Long. Information on these three was known only to the Lord of the Four Seas. In public, they typically wore masks.

Within the Dragon Group, there were three halls: the Technique Hall, the Power Hall, and the Defense Hall.

The Technique Hall was a place for a group of mysterious individuals, most of whom possessed supernatural abilities.

The Power Hall was filled with warriors, each of whom could single-handedly defeat numerous special forces soldiers.

The Defense Hall was often jokingly called the "Bath Hall." It was indeed a place for bathing, but members were expected to discuss tactics and military strategy while they washed.

These three halls served as the academies of the Dragon Group. Only those who graduated from them could enter one of the Four Holy Beast Battle Teams:

The Azure Dragon Team,

The White Tiger Team,

The Xuanwu Team,

And the Vermilion Bird Team.

All members of the Dragon Group possessed unique skills. Sixty percent of them had formidable superhuman abilities, forming a powerful organization that protected the people of the Dragon Country through unconventional means. They also held significant authority, with the power to requisition cooperation from local officials and military districts, and they possessed licenses to kill and permits to carry firearms.

"Don’t be reckless, Azure Dragon. Wu Tian was personally invited by the Lord of the Four Seas," said the woman, whose code name was White Dragon Lady. She was the Azure Dragon Team’s strategic commander, or more informally, its military advisor.

Azure Dragon nodded. He knew what to do, of course.

Openly confronting Wu Tian would be foolish. But it should be fine to find some other way to vent my frustration. This place is huge, with its "eighteen winding mountain paths." I can definitely lead Wu Tian on a wild goose chase. After all, it’s his first visit, and he probably won’t have a chance to come back. How would he know I’m messing with him?

A smirk crept onto Azure Dragon’s face at the thought.

Soon, Azure Dragon and White Dragon Lady met Wu Tian.

A smile touched the corners of White Dragon Lady’s mouth. Wu Tian’s handsome features were even more striking in person than on the broadcast.

Azure Dragon, however, grew even more annoyed. The Dragon Group was full of brawny, masculine men; he couldn’t stand the sight of someone so fair and clean-cut like Wu Tian.
