"Wh … What?! You … Say that again!! "
Long Tian Yun's face was as black as charcoal, and his face contorted in shock. Facing Long Tian Yun's vicious gaze, Flame Shadow gulped as he stuttered, "Young master, you didn't hear incorrectly … it's true … 75 Steel Dragon Corps soldiers have disappeared, and the last thing I heard was pitiful cries. It's possible that they … they might …"
Bang!!
Long Tian Yun viciously slammed his fist on the table. The pain from his fist was far inferior to the shock he felt in his heart. He hated Ling Tian to the bone, and in order to kill Ling Tian, he had sent out 75 Steel Dragon Corps soldiers. Even he felt that it was ridiculous. In the end, he had even disregarded the consequences and given the order to use heavy weapons.
He never would have thought that he would receive such an answer!
75 Steel Dragon Corps soldiers! And there were only 10 or so people!
Training a true Steel Dragon Corps soldier required a large amount of money and time. The Long family had been established for hundreds of years, and they only had 1,000 Steel Dragon Corps soldiers. Losing 75 of them in a single night was a huge loss. Moreover, he had mobilized the Steel Dragon Corps without telling his father about it. He could imagine how furious his father would be if he suffered such a huge loss.
"What's more, the Tian Yuan District has already alerted the master. He has already put down what he was doing and is rushing home. He'll be there in less than an hour. Young master, what should we do? Should we … should we call Xuanyuan and Long Yu? If they act, they'll definitely … "
Long Tian Yun waved his hand. The 75 Steel Dragon Corps soldiers were equivalent to 75 human-shaped tanks, and the result of them being completely annihilated shocked him, "Since it's already like this, don't act rashly. Since father is coming back … very well, I'll leave this matter to him. Perhaps he'll punish me, but he'll definitely be more eager to kill Ling Tian and his people. Flame Shadow, continue to put pressure on the Public Security Headquarters. Don't send any police to the Tian Yuan District before dawn! "
"Yes sir!"
In the remaining time, Long Tian Yun fell into deep thought. His intelligence network spanned across Hua Xia and the surrounding countries. He was thinking hard about which faction had the strength to annihilate 75 Steel Dragon Corps with just a few dozen people. However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find the existence of such a force. Such a terrifying group of people had actually been in Beijing all this time, and the Long Family had not noticed them at all.
It was already late at night, and after hearing that Long Zheng Yang was about to return, the Long family's residence became lively and bustling. The layers of guards became even more alert. Long Zheng Yang held the highest authority in Hua Xia, and almost never had any free time. He rarely came back, and even when he did, he would only stay for a short period of time. In less than an hour of preparation time, the entire Long Family had been tidied up, and the number of guards had tripled.
Finally, the sound of overlapping vehicles came from the direction of the courtyard, and the outside instantly became as bright as day. The deafening shouts of "Hello, Chief" almost caused the roof to collapse. Long Tian Yun came back to his senses, stood up, and walked out. As soon as he walked out, he saw Long Zheng Yang expressionlessly walking through the crowd towards him.
Long Zheng Yang was already over 50 years old, but he looked like he wasn't even 40 yet. His expression was resolute and calm, and his eyes were like an eagle's, giving off an imposing aura. Behind him, there were 2 people who looked about the same age as him. Long Tian Yun hurriedly went up and said seriously, "Welcome back, dad. Uncle Xuanyuan, Uncle Murong, thank you for your hard work. "
The 2 people he called Uncle Xuanyuan and Uncle Murong nodded at him. In this world, apart from Long Zheng Yang, the only people who could make Long Tian Yun act so respectfully were Xuanyuan Dao and Murong Xiong Tian.
To most people, the Xuanyuan family was a legendary existence, but to the upper echelons of Beijing, they were incredibly respectful. The Long family currently had three guardian clans. These three clans existed to protect the Long family, and the Xuanyuan Clan was the head of the three clans. Their combined strength was far greater than the other two clans combined, so their status was naturally higher than the Xuanyuan Clan. In this era where firearms were widespread and cold weapons were gradually forgotten, as the Long family's Guardian Families, they never used firearms. Instead, for hundreds of years, they had always used 'swords' as their main weapon. Their swords were their pride and also their soul. Almost no one knew how powerful the Xuanyuan family's swords were, and not many people had the right to know. However, in this era where there were countless firearms, the Xuanyuan family was acknowledged as the Long family's strongest Guardian Family. Whenever Long Zheng Yang appeared, there would always be a member of the Xuanyuan family by his side. Over the years, Long Zheng Yang had been assassinated countless times, but he had never been in any danger … even an idiot would understand how powerful the Xuanyuan family, which used cold weapons, was. Xuanyuan Dao, who was called 'Uncle Xuanyuan' by Long Tian Yun, was the older brother of the Xuanyuan family's current Patriarch. His swordsmanship was the strongest in the Xuanyuan family, and with his strength and status as the eldest brother, the position of Patriarch should have belonged to him. However, he did not care about power, and only wanted to protect the Long family. Another important reason was that he only had a daughter, and no son. As such, he naturally gave up the position of Patriarch, and continued to protect Long Zheng Yang. Over the years, no matter if it was through assassination or in the open, no one had been able to break through his defences. There was a rumour that no one who had been killed by him had been able to see his sword before they died. The speed of his sword could be said to be unimaginable. Even high-powered bullets could not catch up to him.
Xuanyuan Dao's daughter was called Xuanyuan Dia Wu.
The Xuanyuan family had never had many people, and currently, there were only 500 people in the entire Xuanyuan family. However, this number did not seem very shocking, but it represented a terrifying power. This was because all of the Xuanyuan family's members, regardless of whether they were male or female, had been trained by the Xuanyuan family since they were young, and all of them were experts in using swords. With a normal sword in their hands, they would not fear firearms at all. The Xuanyuan family, which only had 500 people, was a massive barrier in front of the Long family. Wanting to break through it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Unlike the Guardian Families, the Long family's other force, which was just as famous as the Xuanyuan family, was called 'Long Yu'. Long Yu was not like the Xuanyuan family, which was a massive family with a deep foundation. Instead, it was created by the Long family themselves, and its members were all espers. The number of paranormals was extremely small. They were born or acquired with one or more abilities that defied common sense. The Dragon Realm was to find such people and then bring them into the Dragon Realm. If they were unwilling, they would be dealt with in the name of "unstable factors". Over the years, almost all of the espers who had been discovered had been brought into Long Yu, creating an incredibly terrifying esper force. Out of the Long family's 7 main forces, Long Yu was the leader. The leader of Long Yu, Murong Xiong Tian, was an extremely powerful strength-based esper. His strength-based esper gave him a monstrous body and strength that should not have belonged to a human. He could take bullets without a scratch on his body, and he could shatter boulders with a single punch. He could even leave deep dents in steel. Even the Xuanyuan family's most powerful person, Xuanyuan Dao, had to be careful around him.
Long Zheng Yang stood in front of Long Tian Yun and frowned as he calmly said, "Give me a reasonable explanation."
Long Zheng Yang had always been very satisfied with his son, Long Tian Yun. He was capable, daring, scheming, ambitious, as well as vicious and merciless when necessary. He had everything that a leader should have. His biggest weakness was that he would occasionally be impulsive, but this was something that young people could not get rid of before they matured. However, tonight's events had infuriated him. On the way here, he had received news that the Steel Dragon Corps had been completely annihilated. However, despite this, he still gave him a chance to explain. He believed that his son would not do such crazy things without a brain.
Long Tian Yun did not panic, and nodded, "Dad, let's talk in the room. It's my fault for not asking dad first, but I have my reasons. "
Long Tian Yun walked into the room and closed the door. Xuanyuan Dao and Murong Xiong Tian stood by each side with their eyes closed. Long Zheng Yang sat in his chair, silently looking at him.
Long Tian Yun poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Long Zheng Yang as he said in a serious tone, "Dad, I've mentioned Ling Tian to you many times. I'm sure you haven't forgotten him, right?"
Long Zheng Yang looked at him and calmly replied, "Ling Chen is Ling Tian?"
Since he could even say the name 'Ling Chen', it seemed that Long Zheng Yang already knew everything. Long Tian Yun nodded, "I'm absolutely sure. In the game, he purposely made an enemy out of me, and humiliated me many times … he even defeated Xie Yu and Cang Yan … "
At this point, Xuanyuan Dao and Murong Xiong Tian both raised their eyebrows.
"There's a reason why he always made an enemy out of me, and wasn't afraid of me taking revenge. As such, I've been trying to find out who he is in the real world. Today, I finally found out who he is. Originally, I sent a group of people to assassinate him, but before the first group could even get close, I lost contact with them. As such, I was sure that there were powerful people protecting him, and in order to make sure that nothing went wrong … "
"So you used the Steel Dragon Corps?!" Long Zheng Yang said in a furious voice.
"That's right! Even so, they were completely wiped out. What's more … I received news that there were only 14 people!! "
"What?" Long Zheng Yang's expression changed, and Xuanyuan Dao and Murong Xiong Tian also looked shocked. They knew how strong the Steel Dragon Corps was.
"That's right, there were only 14 people!" Long Tian Yun said as he gritted his teeth, "14 people killed 75 Steel Dragon Corps soldiers!! We didn't even know that such a group of people were in Beijing. Moreover, they were clearly making an enemy out of our Long family. If we don't immediately kill these people, how can you be at ease? "
Long Zheng Yang's eyebrows sank. 14 people had killed 75 Steel Dragon Corps soldiers. Even a Holy Domain esper might not be able to do such a thing.
Bang …
At that moment, a gunshot pierced the night sky. It came from the courtyard's entrance. The alarm sounded out, and Long Zheng Yang and Long Tian Yun suddenly stood up. Xuanyuan Dao and Murong Xiong Tian also opened their eyes, a cold glint in their eyes.
