Bloodline Oath
As the sun set, the sky was already dark.
The courtyard where Long Chen was located was not quiet. More than ten people in the Elder Hall heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Long Chen's answer.
The dozens of young disciples of the Long Family were shocked. Long Chen was still the Long Chen in front of them, but the cultivation that burst out in an instant made them tremble with fear.
After a long silence, the Second Elder of the Elder Hall came forward and patted Long Chen's shoulder. He had thousands of questions in his heart, but he did not say anything. He only looked deeply at Long Chen, as if to confirm whether he was still the Young Master of the Long Family.
In the end, he abruptly turned around. His voice was filled with killing intent as he said coldly, "If the slightest bit of what happened in this courtyard is leaked out, it will bring an unprecedented disaster to my Long family. Do you understand?"
As his voice fell, more than ten people in the Elder Hall showed a dignified expression. Long Chen was in the Ordinary Martial Realm.
Killing a martial artist at the fourth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm was a great opportunity from the Land of Inheritance a few days ago. This was the Long Family's great fortune, but if the news spread out, it would bring the Long Family the danger of being exterminated. The pros and cons could be imagined.
Under the cold gazes of the Elder Hall, the dozens of disciples of the Long Family looked at each other. There was no longer a trace of contempt in their eyes when they looked at Long Chen. Instead, there was an unprecedented seriousness in their eyes.
Although they held a grudge because the Long Family did not get any resources in the Land of Inheritance, they were still of the Long Family's bloodline, so they knew the importance of this matter.
Today, Long Chen's explosive battle strength meant that the Long Family would definitely prosper and even dominate Iron Mountain City in the future.
After a long while, a rather old disciple of the Long Family took the lead and walked out. He took out a short knife in his right hand and cut a small cut on his fingertip, then wiped it between his eyebrows.
Then, with an unprecedented dignified and sincere expression, he said: "Long Yi swears by the Long Family's bloodline that if the slightest bit of what happened today is leaked, I will suffer the pain of thousands of souls corroding my bones and will never be reincarnated!"
"I, Long Ying also swears by the Long Family's bloodline, today …"
"And me!"
…
One by one, the young members of the Dragon Clan stood up. This bloodline oath was passed down from generation to generation. Once the oath was made, it could never be broken. No one knew if this oath would come true, but there would never be a member of the Dragon Clan who would break this oath.
After everyone had made their oaths, the elders slowly opened the doors and allowed them to leave.
After everyone left, the Second Elder began to search the First Elder's body. Soon, he found a letter and a pill bottle. Reading the contents of the letter, the Second Elder's face gradually became gloomy, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified.
This medicinal pill was most likely a gift from the Li Clan. As for the letter, it was most likely a letter between the Li Clan and the First Elder. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for anyone to discover it.
"Since you were the one who killed this traitor, you can keep this pill." The Second Elder did not even look at the contents of the pill bottle. He said to Long Chen, "I will spread the news that the First Elder, Long Ying, and the others ambushed the Young Master of the Long Family and were killed by the elders. Try to keep a low profile for the next few days. It's best if you pretend to be injured …"
The Second Elder looked deeply at Long Chen, then turned and left. He felt that the Long Family would be completely changed because of Long Chen. However, he did not mention anything else. Everyone had their own secrets. Once they were revealed, it would only increase the danger for everyone.
…
In the next three days, Long Chen did not leave the Long Family. However, the Iron Mountain City was in turmoil. This was because the Long Family had found out the family that instigated the First Elder to betray them. They were going to madly seek revenge.
This caused many guest elders of the Li Clan to return to the main family. All of this was because of the death of the First Elder of the Long Family's elders.
While the Li Clan was in a state of panic, Long Tianxing was in a towering rage in the Long Family's meeting hall. The Elder Hall's move had completely confirmed the First Elder's crime.
Long Haotian did not even dare to breathe loudly. However, he was cursing the First Elder in his heart. How could he do such a stupid thing? Now, not only did he lose the First Elder's great help, it was also very likely that he would be suspected by the Elder Hall. This would cause his position in the Long Family to plummet.
"It seems that the Li Clan thinks that there is no one in the Long Family. It seems that our Long Family needs to be properly disciplined. All Long Family shops in the city are prohibited from selling to the Li Clan. All transactions are also suspended."
"The Grand Competition of the Three Cities is imminent. Fortunately, the Young Master is fine. Remember this matter for now. It is not suitable for a large-scale bloody battle …"
"This debt, the Li Clan will pay with blood in the future. Also, thoroughly investigate everyone in the family. Anyone who has dealings with the Li Clan and Gu Clan will be included in the list of targets. Once a problem is discovered, kill them on the spot!"
Because of the death of the First Elder of the Long Family's Elder Hall, the Long Family and the Li Clan fell into a state of tension. After the meeting, Long Chen's uncle, Long Haotian, could not sit still.
"If this continues, Long Tianxing's position will become more and more stable. My position will plummet instead. Sooner or later, I will be eliminated. The matter of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion last time, did Li Xu agree?" Long Haotian's face was dark, and he looked very haggard.
Originally, because of Long Chen's reputation as a trash, under the alliance of the Li Clan and the Gu Clan, the position of the Long Family's Patriarch was almost easily obtained. However, he did not expect that after Long Chen returned from the mountain range, everything had changed so drastically.
"Long Chen must die. Now, we can only cut off all means of retreat. With the current situation of the Long Family, only when Long Chen dies and Long Tianxing loses his mind will father be able to control the Long Family. At that time, we can ally with the Li Clan and the Gu Clan to get everything back on track." Long Xing said in a deep voice.
Now that the Long Family was thoroughly investigating everyone's relationship with the outside world, the father and son could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"Report!"
Just as Long Haotian and his father were talking, a shout came from outside the door. Hearing this person's voice, Long Xing's face suddenly became happy.
Long Haotian hurriedly walked out of the secret room and opened the door. Long Xing anxiously asked, "Did Long Chen go out?"
"Yes, young master asked me to wait in front of the Long Family's main gate for a long time. Today, Long Chen finally went out, so I immediately came to inform young master." This servant had a flattering expression, but he was not from the Long Family.
"This is what you deserve. You know what to do from now on, right?" Long Xing raised his hand and threw out a money bag, warning in a cold voice.
"I understand, I understand. After today, I will return to my hometown and will not appear in Iron Mountain City …" This servant was overjoyed and hurriedly left.
Long Xing and his father looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Long Haotian said, "Pass the news to Li Xu. This is our last hope. As long as Long Chen dies, then we can turn defeat into victory!"
… …
On the other side, on a wide street, Long Chen and Qing Xuan leisurely walked, quite a handsome man and a beautiful woman. However, the people around them were pointing and whispering, and their words were none other than Long Chen, the trash young master.
Because the Long Family did not take a single bit of the immortal's inheritance resources in his trial ground, this matter caused him, who was originally infamous in Iron Mountain City, to become the topic of gossip.
"Young master, why are you in such a hurry to improve your strength? The spirit medicine in the duel field is not easy to obtain …" Qing Xuan walked beside Long Chen, turning a blind eye to the gazes of the people around them. It seemed that only Long Chen was in her eyes.
As for Long Chen, he was even more unperturbed. He directly chose to use his powerful divine sense to block out the gossip. Today was the first time he went out after returning from the immortal's cave. He did not want to be spoiled by these passersby.
