The Ye Family and the Long Family had officially appeared. They had passed the bottleneck period. The climax had begun!
… …
Late at night, the Forbidden City.
After clearing the area at five o 'clock in the afternoon, all the tourists had left. Even all the staff had left before nightfall.
It was hard to imagine that such a huge Forbidden City would not have a single night watchman at night.
At that moment, although the lights outside the main palaces of the Forbidden City were all turned on, making it look dazzling, and although the colorful spotlights on the four corner towers shone a colorful light, because the Forbidden City was too big, the effect of these lights on the entire palace compound was really a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, in the places where the colorful lights couldn't reach, there were more palaces and buildings in the Forbidden City. They stood tall in the dark, making the place seem even more quiet and serene.
This was the case every day and every night.
However, today was not an ordinary day.
Outside the Extreme Emperor Gate, in front of the Nine Dragon Wall.
All the lights here had been turned on, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Under the bright lights, three people stood silently in a triangular formation, motionless.
Long Haoran, Long Tianxing, and Long Tianfang.
At this time, the green light that enveloped Long Haoran's body had long disappeared, finally revealing his true appearance.
He was wearing a dark green robe. His figure was tall and slender, and the contours of his face were sharp. Two strands of long hair fell naturally in front of his chest. He was actually dressed in an ancient costume.
Long Haoran was about fifty years old, but he looked less than forty. His eyes flashed, and he displayed a powerful aura without being angry.
Behind Long Haoran stood Long Tianxing and Long Tianfang on his left and right.
Long Tianxing was also wearing a green robe. He was only in his twenties this year, and his figure was slender and elegant. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was extraordinarily handsome. He held a folding fan in his hand and looked like an elegant scholar.
Long Tianfang, on the other hand, was dressed in pure black clothes. Although he was less than 20 years old, his figure looked even more majestic. Because of his broad shoulders and broad body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked a little rough, like the kind of Jianghu hero who was born in the wilderness.
If Ling Yun had been there, he would have been able to tell that the place where Long Haoran was standing was the place where he had inadvertently triggered the Dragon Qi from the nine dragon-shaped carvings on the Nine Dragon Wall earlier in the day.
He did not know when the Long father and son trio had arrived, nor did he know how long they had been standing there.
"I didn't expect the True Dragon Energy that the Long Family has accumulated for six hundred years to be sucked dry by Ling Yun!"
Looking at the Nine Dragon Wall, Long Haoran finally opened his mouth. His usually clear and resonant voice was very dry and hoarse at this moment. His face was filled with deep annoyance and unwillingness, and his eyes were filled with flames of anger.
On the last night of August, Ling Yun and Sun Chen formed an alliance to fight to the death. After Long Haoran watched the entire process of the battle, he immediately passed down an order to prevent any conflict between the Long Family and the Ling Family in the short term.
Indeed, after the battle, Ling Yun disappeared without a trace for a few days, and the Ling Family was busy harvesting the fruits of victory from the battle to the death. The Ling Family and the Long Family lived in harmony.
Who knew that something would happen to the Forbidden Palace guarded by the Long Family after a few days of peace?
At noon that day, the Forbidden Palace shook violently, almost causing serious injuries.
However, at that time, Long Haoran, Long Tianxing, and Long Tianfang were not in Beijing. Moreover, the Long Family had been very confident in the Forbidden Palace for so many years. They didn't believe that anything would happen to the Forbidden Palace.
It was only when they got off work at night that the Long Family arranged for the people guarding the Forbidden Palace to report the abnormal situation that happened in the afternoon. This alerted the Long Family.
Other than the shocked tourists, no one would think too much about the inexplicable shaking of the Forbidden Palace. However, the Long Family was different.
That was because the Forbidden Palace meant a lot to the Long Family!
The Long Family knew that the Forbidden Palace was protected by two large formations. One was the Dragon Formation, and the other was the Demon Stunning Formation!
With the protection of these two large formations, the Forbidden Palace didn't even shake when the earthquake happened that shocked the world. Why would there be an inexplicable shaking on such a normal day?
Therefore, after the Long Family received the news, they immediately sent people to the Forbidden Palace to investigate the reason. At the same time, they reported it directly to the head of the family, Long Haoran.
Who knew that the usually calm head of the Long Family would react in a way that exceeded the expectations of the Long Family!
Long Haoran asked the core masters of the family to immediately rush to the Forbidden Palace to investigate the reason. He also asked them to investigate the surveillance during the day to see which tourists entered the Forbidden Palace during the day. He also said that he would rush back to Beijing immediately.
At the same time, Long Haoran also informed his two most outstanding sons to put down everything they were doing and return to Beijing immediately!
After Long Haoran reached home, he immediately knew the results of the investigation.
One was that the Dragon Energy in the Forbidden Palace, which was the most important to the Long Family, was gone.
The other was that according to the surveillance, Ling Yun from the Ling Family brought more than ten young people to visit the Forbidden Palace during the day. When the Forbidden Palace shook, they were all inside the Forbidden Palace!
When Long Haokun, who was in charge of the investigation, reported the results of the investigation to Long Haoran with a bitter face, Long Haoran's heart first turned cold, then he flew into a rage!
However, he couldn't care less about his anger. Instead, he rushed to the Forbidden Palace personally. First, he watched the surveillance. Then, in front of the stunned eyes of all the family members, he used his movement technique. From the Meridian Gate to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Baohe … With the fastest speed, he went to every corner of the Forbidden Palace.
The Dragon Energy in the entire Forbidden Palace was gone!
After personally confirming this, Long Haoran almost couldn't stand. He couldn't accept it at all!
Finally, he arrived in front of the Nine Dragon Wall. He stood at the place where Ling Yun had been and didn't move again.
As for Long Tianxing and Long Tianfang, they rushed over later.
"Father, since it has already happened, it's useless even if we are angry. Why don't we think about how to solve this matter?"
Long Tianxing was relatively indifferent. He was the first to calm down. At this time, when he saw that Long Haoran finally spoke, he immediately spoke.
Long Haoran stared at the Nine Dragon Wall and didn't speak.
Long Tianxing continued, "Father, I have a few doubts. I don't know if I should ask."
"Speak!" Long Haoran said in a deep voice.
"This Nine Dragon Wall is the eye of the Dragon Cultivation Formation. Originally, only the Long Family knew about it. I wonder how Ling Yun found out about it?"
Long Tianxing had naturally seen the surveillance footage. Moreover, he had arrived relatively late. The surveillance footage of Ling Yun's tour route had been specially edited. Therefore, he could see that Ling Yun and Mo Wudao specially came to the Nine Dragon Wall during the day.
"Ling Yun's attainments in array formations are very profound. He can form an array with a wave of his hand. Moreover, he relied on an array formation that even I don't understand to separate and kill the five experts from the Heavenly Group!"
In fact, even though Long Haoran's analysis was reasonable, he was wrong this time. He never thought that Ling Yun would accidentally come to the Nine Dragon Wall just to find the entrance to the underground palace and follow some kind of guidance from the unseen world.
Long Tianxing was silent for a while before asking, "But this Dragon Energy is only useful for the bloodline of the Long Family. Why can Ling Yun absorb it?"
Long Haoran sighed and said, "Ling Yun has the dragon saliva. As long as he drinks the dragon saliva during his cultivation, the Dragon Spiritual Energy released by the dragon saliva can slowly change his physique …"
"But it's just dragon saliva. How can it have such a strong effect on his physique?"
Long Haoran turned his head and looked at his son. He said in a deep voice, "The dragon saliva is only one of the reasons. It can even be said that it's insignificant to Ling Yun.
"Ling Yun has the Devil's Blade, right? The reason why that blade is so powerful is because it locks the soul of an Underworld Blood Demonic Dragon. On the day of the life-and-death battle, I saw the Underworld Blood Demonic Dragon appear with my own eyes. Moreover, looking at the situation at that time, that Demonic Dragon had already recognized him as its master. "
"Hiss …"
Hearing Long Haoran's words, Long Tianxing couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He frowned and said, "Ling Yun has actually obtained the Underworld Blood Demonic Dragon's recognition!"
Long Haoran nodded silently.
This was a question that most people couldn't figure out no matter how hard they tried. In the eyes of an extremely small number of people, it was actually not much different from one plus one equals two.
Long Tianxing was puzzled. "Even so, with his realm, how could he absorb all the Dragon Energy in the entire Forbidden Palace by himself? Moreover, he didn't explode and die? This … isn't this too unbelievable? "
"I've been thinking about this question just now."
Long Haoran said gloomily, "Even if all the cultivators of the Long Family came here to cultivate and absorb the Dragon Energy in the entire Forbidden Palace, we wouldn't even be able to absorb one-tenth of the Dragon Energy in a year and a half. However, Ling Yun actually absorbed all of it, this …"
It could be said that after watching that life-and-death battle, Long Haoran had a more comprehensive understanding of Ling Yun. What happened in the Forbidden Palace was definitely not due to Long Haoran's carelessness.
This was because he knew that even if Ling Yun's physique was heaven-defying, he had drunk the dragon saliva, and he was recognized by the Underworld Blood Demonic Dragon as its master, it was impossible for him to absorb that much Dragon Energy.
Beijing was so big, and there were countless Dragon Veins around it. The Forbidden Palace relied on the Spirit Dragon Nurturing Formation to absorb the Dragon Energy that gathered from the Dragon Veins all year round. It had accumulated it for a whole six hundred years. How much Dragon Energy was that?!
Even though most of the Dragon Energy gathered by the Dragon Nourishing Formation went elsewhere, the small portion that was left outside could only be described as massive. Even if Ling Yun walked around the Forbidden City every day or stayed in the Forbidden City to cultivate, he wouldn't be able to consume much of it.
The reason was very simple. Ling Yun hadn't reached the middle stage of Qi Cultivation. His realm was too low, and his body couldn't contain it at all!
Therefore, even though Long Haoran thought that Ling Yun might have a heaven-defying physique and some talents, and that he might come to the Forbidden Palace to take advantage of it, he didn't put up any defenses.
Moreover, there was no way to guard against it. The Forbidden Palace was the most famous tourist attraction. If Ling Yun wanted to travel, would the Long Family dare to stop him from entering? That was impossible!
Unless they killed Ling Yun directly!
Long Tianxing and his father looked at each other. His eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly, "There's only one possibility. Unless … unless he's carrying an Immortal Artifact …"
Long Haoran's eyes widened. "Emperor Brush! Earth Emperor's Book! "
At this moment, Long Tianfang, who had been standing silently at the side, spoke.
"Father, Big Brother, can you confirm it? If you can confirm it, I'll snatch it over now. "
Snatch it over …
Long Tianfang's way of doing things had always been this simple and violent!
Long Haoran finally turned his head to look at his son. He knew that this unreasonably fierce son of his had long wanted to fight with Ling Yun.
He looked at Long Tianfang plainly and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Tianfang, it's still too early to fight with Ling Yun."
After a pause, Long Haoran said angrily, "However, since Ling Yun dares to snatch the Long Family's fate, he has to bear the wrath of the Long Family!"
The Long Family was really angry that the Dragon Energy that they had accumulated for six hundred years was sucked dry by Ling Yun in one go! (To be continued.)
