The Heart of a Father
In the Black Dragon Empire, after Qin Feng's death, Qin Lie ascended to the throne twenty days later. Long Chen did not attend his ascension ceremony.
These days, Long Chen stayed in the Pill Pagoda and guided many alchemists with his alchemy inheritance.
Only when he successfully refined the life-restoring pill did he have the thought of leaving the Pill Pagoda …
The news of the opening of the Path of Immortal Ascension had spread. In fifteen days, the younger generation of the Nine Great Empires would gather at the Ten Thousand Feet Mountain to ascend the Path of Immortal Ascension!
The envoys of the Five Great Sects would also arrive at that moment.
This was also the reason why the major empires were so calm. Many of the younger generation chose to go into seclusion to make the final push. The major empires also used all their resources to help their younger generation.
Long Chen found Qin Lie at midnight and offered him a bottle of sake to congratulate him on ascending to the throne.
Although it was not over yet, they were still friends …
The sake was finished.
Long Chen asked for the fastest flying beast in the Black Dragon Empire and took off.
In these fifteen days, he planned to return to Iron Mountain Village to take a look. He knew that once he passed the Path of Immortal Ascension and entered the Five Great Sects, as long as he had enough resources, he would be able to rush out of this area within a year and find Qing Xuan in the Ancient Desolate Land.
Of course, compared to the Five Great Sects, the Ancient Desolate Land was filled with ancient clans. They were all bloodline clans.
There were also many opportunities. In his previous life, Long Chen could be said to have soared to the heavens in the Ancient Desolate Land.
And all of this, he didn't know how long it would take … He wanted to see his parents, whom he missed dearly in his previous life, before he left.
In order to increase the flying speed, Long Chen set up a few acceleration arrays on the flying beast. The originally long journey only took four days to reach Iron Mountain City.
Following the familiar streets, Long Chen slowly walked towards the Long Family …
"Have you heard? The news from the Imperial Capital said that the Long Family has been conferred the title of a Royal Family. They will be given royal resources for generations!"
"Not only that, but you can also set up a private army. Right now, more than ten cities in the surrounding area have come to offer their services one after another. They want to win a good impression."
"I really don't know what's going on. Ever since the Long family won first place in the Grand Competition of the Three Cities, they've been thriving. I didn't expect them to soar so high."
"You don't know about this, right? Half a month ago, one of my relatives in the Imperial Capital said that Long Chen seemed to have entered the top three of the Heavenly Rankings. That's the ranking of the younger generation of the Nine Great Empires!"
…
Along the way, Long Chen heard a lot of discussions. Although Iron Mountain Village was remote, but there were still many channels to hear bits and pieces of information.
As they got closer and closer to the Long family's mansion, the wide streets were completely jammed. There were horses in front and behind of them, carrying them through many alleys towards the Long family.
Long Chen's body was like a swimming dragon as he passed through the crowd.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! The Duke's carriage should go first!"
Following a shout behind him, the people on the street all cried out in alarm. No one thought that even the Duke, who was in charge of dozens of cities in the Northwest region, would come specially.
Long Chen moved slightly to the side, leaving a path, and continued to walk towards the Long family's mansion.
However, before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by a person who rushed out from behind him. This person shouted at Long Chen: "Wait on the side, wait for the Duke to go first …"
Long Chen frowned slightly. Looking at the huge street, he said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if three or five more people pass through. Why do you have to do this?"
The middle-aged man's face immediately darkened. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a deep voice behind him: "We're about to reach the Long family's mansion. Let's go in first and talk. Don't cause any more trouble."
The manager glared fiercely at Long Chen, then left with a flick of his sleeve.
Long Chen didn't care. He just smiled and continued to walk towards the Long family's mansion.
Long Chen walked straight into the Long family's mansion. However, the Long family's mansion was already crowded with people. Every Long family's disciple was surrounded by people who came to visit. Regardless of whether it was a high-ranking official or a big family, the younger generation, or even the older generation, they were all very polite.
Even a Long family's sweeper was pulled to the side …
This scene made Long Chen laugh involuntarily. He turned around and walked towards the Long family's inner courtyard, sticking close to the wall.
As Long Chen walked past, the Duke's sedan stopped at the entrance of the Long family's mansion. A middle-aged man of about forty or fifty years old walked down and stepped into the Long family's mansion in front of everyone's eyes.
"This, this is the Duke, hurry up and get out of the way!"
"I didn't expect that even the Duke would come. The Long family's status in the Northwest region will reach an unprecedented height …"
"That Long Chen of the Long family is really the ancestor of the Long family!"
…
The surrounding people were discussing animatedly. The Long family's disciples were all shocked when they heard the Duke's name. They all blushed and hurriedly informed the Long family's elders to come over.
Soon, the Long family's elders hurriedly rushed over to welcome the Duke and walked straight into the inner courtyard.
The Duke was very polite. He pulled a few Long family's elders aside and asked about their well-being. He also casually took out many pills and gave them to everyone.
Long Tianxing quickly brought many core elders to welcome the Duke. However, his footsteps suddenly stopped as if he felt something. His eyes were fixed on the crowd.
In the crowd, Long Chen's footsteps also stopped abruptly.
In the crowded Long family's courtyard, the two of them actually saw each other at the same time …
Long Tianxing's hair was tied up, and his temples were as flat as blades. However, there were two strands of white hair. His eyes suddenly turned red. He pushed the people in front of him away and rushed towards Long Chen.
At this moment, Long Chen didn't know why his heart suddenly softened. The moment he saw his father rushing towards him, he only felt waves of hot liquid rushing to the corners of his eyes.
Under everyone's gaze, Long Tianxing hugged Long Chen tightly in his arms. His voice trembled slightly: "Is it you, son … you're really back?"
Long Chen had only left Iron Mountain City for about half a year. During this period, Long Tianxing had been worried every day. During the Grand Competition of the Three Cities, Long Chen killed Xie Changfeng and became the First Prince's enemy. This made him feel uneasy.
For many days and nights, he saw Long Chen covered in blood in his dreams and woke up in the middle of the night!
"Father, I'm back!" Long Chen's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs.
When the surrounding people saw this scene, they immediately burst into an uproar.
"Is this the young man from the Long family? The famous Long Chen who walked out of the Grand Competition of the Three Cities!"
"Not only that, I heard that in the Da Qian Empire, he consecutively killed more than ten people on the Heaven Roll. He rushed to the third place in the Heaven Roll and forced the second place on the Heaven Roll, Jian Shisan, to retreat with one sword!"
"According to rumors, it seems that even the current Emperor's ascension to the throne had a lot to do with him …"
Countless people rushed forward dauntlessly, as if they wanted to see what the number one genius of the Black Dragon Empire looked like.
