At the time of departure
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the sound of thunder and rain also disappeared without a trace. Only corpses littered the plains north of the city, and blood flowed like a river!
An hour had passed? Or perhaps an hour had passed? Or perhaps even a day had passed?
Corpses continued to fall. Time passed too slowly. Such a scene was torture for anyone. Only Long Chen did not move his eyes away. He was the only one who stood in front of the countless corpses.
Thousands of people were originally going to kill him, but now, only cold corpses were left.
On the spectator's stand, Elder Zheng and the other two had completely lost their ability to think since Long Chen's sword slashed out. It was impossible for the three of them to block this sword …
No one knew how much time had passed. When Long Chen's straight body fell to the ground, everyone finally regained their senses. After today, the Iron Mountain City would no longer have the Four Great Clans, only the Long Clan and the Lin Clan would remain!
"Just what kind of good fortune did this kid have? That secret technique just now and that strange sword strike are definitely not something that someone from our Black Dragon Empire can possess!"
Elder Zheng exclaimed. Then, he jumped down and flew to Long Chen's side. He lifted him up and carried him away from the plains north of the city, ignoring everyone's gazes.
"Zhuo Bufan, you can distribute the rewards to them here. I'll go and take a look …" Elder Xu also said quickly. After a series of instructions, before Zhuo Bufan agreed, he took Liu Yiyi and followed Elder Zheng.
Zhuo Bufan subconsciously waved the feather fan in his hand, only to find that the feather fan had already fallen to the bottom of the stands, but he was unaware of it. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, he fiercely rubbed his pale cheeks.
"Let's clean up these corpses first. Then we'll distribute the rewards of the Grand Competition of the Three Cities," Zhuo Bufan said helplessly as he massaged his temples.
…
As the sun set in the west, the plains in the north of the city were set ablaze.
In just two days, the remaining members of the Li and Gu families were all chased out of Iron Mountain City. Long Tianxing of the Long family even became sworn brothers with the head of the Lin family. Together, they controlled the entire Iron Mountain City!
On the surface, the Long family had become the most powerful family in Iron Mountain City, but in the dark, the two families were as strong as iron.
Long Chen's first place in the Three Cities Competition was also recognized by everyone. Blood Red City, Fierce Tiger City, and other large families also came to Iron Mountain Village to bow their heads to the Long family.
No one would have thought that the Long family of the Iron Mountain Village, which had always been the weakest, would suddenly become a Meritorious Clan and control three large cities!
The name of Long Chen's genius had spread to every family in the three cities.
However, it wasn't until the seventh day that Long Chen returned to the Long family. The seven of them had taken a large amount of Xu Lao's healing pills. Even so, they were still somewhat weak at the moment.
He had come here to bid farewell …
Now that Long Chen had won first place in the Three Cities Tournament, the Long Clan had received the treatment of a Clan of Outstanding Merit. One year later, the Long Clan had become the Overlord of the Three Cities, and Long Chen knew that if he wanted to continue, the only way was to leave Iron Mountain City and go to the Five Great Sects!
Only there would be endless resources and opportunities that would allow him to soar into the sky.
After wiping out the Li and Gu families, he only felt relaxed.
In the main hall.
Long Tianxing stared at Long Chen for a long time without saying anything. In the end, he slowly asked a question similar to what the Third Elder had asked before, "Are you still my son?"
His words were full of doubts and puzzlement.
No matter what, he couldn't believe that his son, who was called trash by everyone, had won first place in the Three Cities Tournament in a flash. Moreover, he had single-handedly wiped out thousands of elite disciples from the Li and Gu families.
Was this still his son?
Long Chen looked at Long Tianxing, whose hair had turned white, in front of him. He thought of the stalwart figure of his previous life who had taken countless swords for him with his back. His eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
No matter if he was the current Young Master of the Long Clan, or the Overlord of the Dragon City in his previous life, he was still Long Tianxing's son.
The Overlord's Knee didn't kneel to the heavens or the earth, but to his parents!
"Good, good, good!"
Long Tianxing walked down emotionally. His eyes were wet as he hugged Long Chen in his arms.
After a long time, Long Tianxing finally calmed down. He didn't ask why Long Chen had such a change, or what kind of opportunity he had obtained. To him, it was enough that Long Chen was still his son.
However, his expression turned serious as he said to Long Chen in a deep voice, "Chen 'er, are you going to the imperial capital this time?"
Long Chen nodded. If he wanted to enter the five big sects, he could only go through the so-called Path of Immortality. However, there was still a year before the Path of Immortality opened. At that time, the top three youths in the Black Dragon Empire would compete for a place on the Path of Immortality.
Before that, if he could enter the Imperial College and obtain the support of the empire's resources, Long Chen believed that he would have the opportunity to enter the Soul Formation stage within a year. At that time, he would definitely be able to walk on the Path of Immortality of the five big sects.
Seeing Long Chen nod, Long Tianxing's frown deepened. He shook his head and said, "If it was in the past, I would have been more than happy to be able to enter the Imperial College. However, I don't want you to go now …"
"Our Long Clan has become the number one clan in the three cities. In the next year, we will be treated as a clan with outstanding military achievements. You will be the safest in the clan."
Hearing this, Long Chen's heart warmed. How could he not know what Long Tianxing meant?
He had personally killed the son of the Zhenyuan General and the First Prince's junior, Li Yuan Wu. Just these two alone made the imperial capital like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.
However, it was precisely because of this that Long Chen wanted to leave. He wanted to go to the imperial capital!
It wasn't just because of the resources, it wasn't just because he wanted to vent his anger. It was because this was the only way for the Long family to be safe and sound. As long as Long Chen, the instigator, went to the Imperial Capital, even the Zhenyuan General and the First Prince wouldn't vent their anger on a family that had been conferred a title by the Empire.
"Father, there's no need to say more. This is not where my ambition lies. There are some things that I must do!" Long Chen's mind flashed back to the final battle. The ferocious faces of the Transcendent Ruler and his many enemies. He had to take revenge in this life.
There was also his big brother, the Ruler of the Night. The two of them had met a year later on the Path of Immortality …
Long Tianxing wanted to say something, but seeing the resolute look in Long Chen's eyes, he didn't say anything in the end. He only said, "Today, you and I will drink together!"
"Alright!"
When the dishes were served, Qing Xuan came up and poured wine for the two of them. The father and son cried and laughed until the next morning, when Long Tianxing fell asleep at the table.
Long Chen shook his dizzy head and slowly stood up. He turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Long Clan.
"Mother was most afraid of parting. When Grandfather left, she cried her eyes out. She was unwilling to go to his burial day. Today, I will pay my respects in front of this door …"
As Long Chen spoke, he bowed. Then, through the crack in the door, he stuffed three books in.
Of the three books, one was a king-level movement technique, one was a king-level sword technique, and one was a cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the peak of the Soul Formation stage.
Long Chen had thought of leaving behind higher-level cultivation techniques and even sword techniques. However, he was afraid of getting into trouble because of his wealth, so he didn't overdo it.
