The Dragon Palace suffered a great change. Long Yuan was killed by the joint forces of Long Mie and Tao Ming. The experts who were loyal to Long Yuan and Long Qing were also annihilated.

It was impossible to hide such a big event from the world. Soon, Xiao Chen learned about what had happened in the Dragon Palace. He also knew that Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and the others had joined the Dragon Palace.
When Xiao Chen first heard the news, he was shocked. He did not expect that Yang Chen and the others would join the Dragon Palace. Moreover, Tao Ming even killed Long Yuan.
However, after calming down, Xiao Chen quickly realized that Long Yuan's death must have been caused by someone from the inside. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Tao Ming to kill Long Yuan on his own. At most, it would have been a lose-lose situation.
Someone in the Dragon Palace betrayed them. It was not difficult to guess who it was. It was the Palace Master of the Dragon Palace, Long Mie.
Xiao Chen had even guessed the reason behind Long Mie's betrayal. It probably had something to do with Long Qing. Come to think of it, the position of Palace Lord was so valuable. Would Long Mie be willing to hand it over to someone else?
Everything was due to jealousy. Long Mie was jealous that Long Qing had taken away his position as the Palace Master, so he chose to betray them. He joined forces with Tao Ming to kill Long Yuan and take control of the Dragon Palace.
However … Xiao Chen, Zhou Song, and Wu Huan sat in the courtyard and took a sip of wine. Xiao Chen shook his head slightly and said, "This Long Mie must have lost his mind. He actually went to Tao Ming and joined forces to kill Senior Longyuan. This is simply inviting a wolf into the house."
Xiao Chen could see the end of Long Mie at a glance. He had killed Long Yuan alone, so would the Dragon Palace become his? Little did he know that he was paving the way for someone else.
Thinking about it, without Long Yuan in the Dragon Palace, who could keep Tao Ming in check? Could it be that Tao Ming helped Long Mie because it was as simple as it seemed?
It was no exaggeration to say that Tao Ming had been eyeing the Dragon Palace since the beginning. Moreover, Long Mie's betrayal had a great impact on Xiao Chen and the Sword Sect. At least, it gave Tao Ming, Yang Chen, and the higher-ups of the Cotian Sect a way out.
Originally, Xiao Chen was absolutely confident that he could destroy Hetian Sect in this battle. But now, even though he occupied Hetian Mansion, Tao Ming and the others also occupied the Dragon Palace.
In this way, it was equivalent to a superficial exchange between the two sides, and Tao Ming did not suffer any losses. In the end, it was Dragon Palace that suffered the real loss.
To put it bluntly, it was because of Long Mie, the idiot, that Dragon Palace became the scapegoat of Cotian Sect. He opened up a new path for Cotian Sect, which was already doomed, and used the entire Dragon Palace as a shield for Cotian Sect.
He cursed Long Mie in his heart. After all, it was his stupidity that allowed Tao Ming, Yang Chen, and the others to escape.
But it was useless to curse Long Mie to death now. Moreover, Xiao Chen had another choice. Should he continue to pursue Tao Ming and the others?
Because if he continued to pursue them, it was tantamount to starting a war with the Dragon Palace. After all, the Dragon Palace was now in Long Mie's hands. Moreover, the Sword Sect was exhausted after the fierce battle. It was difficult for them to continue fighting with the Dragon Palace at this time.
"Long Mie deserves to die. But Junior Brother, now is not the time to think about this. What should we do next? Do we continue to fight? "Zhou Song asked.
Zhou Song agreed that the Sword Sect wasn't suitable to continue the battle with their current situation. Besides, after this battle, the Sword Sect had annexed Cotian Sect. They needed time to digest such a huge piece of territory. After all, the situation in Cotian Sect wasn't stable yet and the Sword Sect needed to be strong enough to defend it.
No matter how one looked at it, it wasn't suitable for the Sword Sect to start another war. If not, it wouldn't benefit the Sword Sect.
Upon hearing Zhou Song's words, Xiao Chen could only let out a slight sigh. "I know, but my Second Sister …"
Xiao Chen was aware of this, but Long Qing was in a tough spot. Ever since she learned about Long Yuan's death, Long Qing had locked herself in her room and refused to open the door even when Xiao Chen called for her, which left Xiao Chen heartbroken.
Besides, the Sword Sect was indebted to Long Qing and the Dragon Palace. At this moment, Xiao Chen couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Even without Long Qing, Xiao Chen wouldn't just sit by and do nothing.
Zhou Song and Wu Huan seemed to have guessed Xiao Chen's thoughts. However, they didn't dissuade him. After all, Xiao Chen was the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect and Xiao Chen's will represented the will of the Sword Sect.
As long as Xiao Chen gave the order, no matter how exhausted the Sword Sect was, they wouldn't back down.
But as soon as Xiao Chen finished his sentence, Long Qing's door opened abruptly and Long Qing strode out with red, swollen eyes. Xiao Chen hurried forward and asked with concern. "Second Sister, you …"
"Don't worry, Little Brother. I'm fine. I know this isn't the time to act on impulse and I won't do anything foolish. Don't worry," Long Qing interrupted before Xiao Chen finished his sentence.
Long Qing was aware of the current situation and knew that it was meaningless to attack the Dragon Palace now. After venting her anger, Long Qing regained her composure. However, she still had a request that she hoped Xiao Chen could agree to.
Long Qing looked at Xiao Chen and said unhurriedly. "Little Brother, can you save those people from the Dragon Palace? They are loyal to me and Master. Now that Long Mie is in power, he will definitely try his best to kill them. Can you save them?"
Long Qing knew that it wasn't possible to avenge Master in a day and night and she couldn't act on impulse. However, apart from revenge, Long Qing's only request was for Xiao Chen to save those people from the Dragon Palace who were loyal to her and Long Yuan.
In the face of Long Qing's request, Xiao Chen agreed without hesitation. "Second Sister, even if you didn't ask, I would still do it. You can now send a message to the Dragon Palace and find a reliable person to contact. I will send someone to pick them up."
It was not difficult for Xiao Chen to save these people and he didn't need to start a war with the Dragon Palace. Seeing that Xiao Chen had agreed, Long Qing didn't say anything else. She nodded slightly and immediately contacted the people from the Dragon Palace through the Voice-transmitting Charm. She told them to leave the Dragon Palace as soon as possible and head to the designated location. At that time, only the people from the Sword Sect would be there to pick them up.
After doing all this, Long Qing fainted in Xiao Chen's arms. She was really tired and sad these days.
