Combined with the Soul-reaping Bell and Long Qing's worries, Xiao Chen guessed that something might have happened to Dragon Palace. Moreover, Xiao Chen soon thought of the possibility that the missing Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and the others had attacked Dragon Palace and killed Long Yuan.
However, on second thought, Xiao Chen felt that it was impossible. First of all, Dragon Palace was not weaker than the Sword Sect, and Long Yuan was a veteran Emperor. How could Tao Ming kill Long Yuan in just five days?
Not to mention Tao Ming, even Jun Wuya would not be able to kill Long Yuan in just five days. Therefore, Xiao Chen felt that it was impossible.
Moreover, Yang Chen and Tao Ming, to put it bluntly, were already stray dogs. Even their headquarters had been occupied by the Sword Sect. How could they deal with Dragon Palace?
Not to mention now, even if Heavenly Sect was at its peak, it would not be a match for Dragon Palace. Therefore, Xiao Chen felt that it was impossible.
However, the situation was indeed a little strange. The Emperor had died, and Long Qing could not contact anyone in Dragon Palace. To be cautious, Xiao Chen called Zhou Song and said seriously.
"Second Senior Brother, please send someone to investigate what has happened to Dragon Palace recently."
He asked Zhou Song to send someone to investigate what had happened in Dragon Palace recently. Hearing this, Zhou Song did not ask any more questions. He nodded and left quickly.
After Zhou Song left, Long Qing still looked worried. Of course, Long Qing was more worried about Long Yuan. After all, Long Yuan had been good to her all these years. Long Qing naturally did not want anything to happen to him.
Looking at Long Qing's worried face, Xiao Chen comforted her, "Second Sister, don't worry. Let's wait for Second Senior Brother to send back the news. Then we'll talk about it."
They didn't know what had happened to Dragon Palace, so it was too early to say anything. Hearing this, Long Qing nodded.
While Xiao Chen had already noticed the abnormality in the Dragon Palace and asked Zhou Song to send someone to investigate, Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and Long Mie were sitting together in the Dragon Palace.
Just as Xiao Chen had guessed, what had happened in Dragon Palace was indeed related to Yang Chen and Tao Ming. Moreover, the ringing of the Soul-dying Bell did indicate the death of an Emperor Master. The Emperor Master who had died was none other than the Ancestor of Dragon Palace, Long Yuan.
Because at this time, in front of Tao Ming and the others, Long Yuan's body was on the spot. As for who killed Long Yuan, there was no doubt that it was Tao Ming. Only Tao Ming, who was also an Emperor Realm Master, had the ability to kill Long Yuan.
However, Tao Ming's killing of Long Yuan was not only due to his contribution alone. There was also another person's contribution that could not be ignored, and that was Long Xue.
If Long Mie hadn't poisoned Long Yuan when he was not around, causing him to be unable to exert his strength, Long Yuan wouldn't have been killed so easily by Tao Ming.
It could be said that Long Yuan's death was unjust. He had died in the hands of his own people.
At this time, with the death of Long Yuan, Long Mie quickly took control of Dragon Palace by virtue of his position as the Palace Master. Those who were loyal to Long Yuan and Long Qing were also ruthlessly eliminated by Long Mie.
Finally taking control of Dragon Palace, Long Mie looked at Tao Ming and smiled, "Senior, your strength is indeed extraordinary. This time, we were able to kill Long Yuan thanks to your help. According to the agreement, Dragon Palace is willing to worship you as the Ancestor."
Long Mie and Tao Ming had secretly reached an agreement long ago. As for when, it was naturally when Long Qing led people to support the Sword Sect.
On that day, an Elder of Dragon Palace secretly visited Tao Ming and Yang Chen. This Elder of Dragon Palace was Long Mie's confidant. It was during that meeting that both sides reached an agreement.
Tao Ming helped Long Mie kill Long Yuan and help him take control of Dragon Palace. In return, Long Mie appointed Tao Ming as the new Ancestor of Dragon Palace and took in a group of experts from Cotian Sect.
Yang Chen and Tao Ming, who were already at their wits' end, agreed to Long Mie's plan without much hesitation after hearing about it.
This was because if they didn't agree to Long Mie's plan, it would be difficult for Tao Ming and Yang Chen to compete with the Sword Sect. In this way, it was a good choice to switch to Dragon Palace.
Moreover, this time, almost all the higher-ups of Cotian Sect survived without any casualties. With such strength, it was hard to say who would inherit Dragon Palace in the future.
Long Mie was blinded by jealousy and thought of cooperating with Tao Ming. This was simply asking a tiger for its skin.
One had to know that Tao Ming was an Emperor level expert, while Long Mie was just an End Realm expert. He thought that Dragon Palace would belong to him in the future, but he didn't know that it was no longer up to him to decide who would inherit Dragon Palace in the future.
It was also because the time wasn't right that Tao Ming didn't make things difficult for him on the spot. Therefore, when he heard Long Mie's words, Tao Ming just smiled faintly and said, "Palace Master is too polite. We are just taking what we need. Alright, I'll leave the rest to Palace Master. We'll go and rest first."
As he spoke, Tao Ming left with Yang Chen and returned to his cave dwelling.
In the cave, Yang Chen and Tao Ming sat opposite each other. At this moment, Yang Chen had a cold smile on his face and said, "There is actually such a stupid person in this world. Does he really think that Dragon Palace will belong to him in the future just because we helped him destroy Long Yuan?"
Yang Chen despised Long Mie to the extreme. He really didn't expect that there would be such a stupid person in this world. This was no longer asking a tiger for its skin, but seeking his own death.
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Tao Ming also smiled slightly. Obviously, he also felt that Long Mie was so stupid that it was cute. However, Tao Ming still reminded him.
"It's not the time yet. Wait until Long Mie completely stabilizes the situation in Dragon Palace. Then, it will be time for us to take action. As for this period of time, it's okay to let him be happy for a while. Remember, don't be too hasty."
Now was not the time to seize power. Although Tao Ming didn't care about Long Mie, it was obviously better for Long Mie to stabilize the situation in Dragon Palace than for Tao Ming and his disciples to step in.
After Long Mie completely stabilized the situation in Dragon Palace, Tao Ming would directly kill Long Mie. Then, it would be natural for him to take control of Dragon Palace without any effort.
It was like making a wedding dress for someone else. However, Long Mie still hadn't reacted at all. He didn't know that his approach was simply inviting a wolf into the house. As the saying goes, it's easier to invite a god than to send him away. Now that Long Mie had successfully invited Tao Ming and his disciples, it was not up to him to send them away.
In the face of Tao Ming's reminder, Yang Chen also nodded seriously and replied, "Master, rest assured. I understand."
