The Long family's residence was abnormally quiet in the morning, and almost everyone had not slept at all. The sky was bright, but that nightmarish night was still haunting their hearts, causing them to feel an unshakable fear.
More than half of the ground in the courtyard had collapsed, and there were pits of various sizes scattered around. The largest one was more than thirty meters long and nearly ten meters deep. The pit was filled with dismembered corpses that no one dared to take another look at. The blood had dried up, and the ground and walls were dyed a dark red colour. They had already cleaned up for a long time, but the stench of blood was still nauseating. No matter how many times they cleaned up, it was impossible to completely clean up the blood.
If the corpses of the people who had died here were piled up, it would be a terrifying pile of corpses.
Needless to say, after today, the entire Long family's residence would have to be repaired and tidied up. Otherwise, the ordinary servants wouldn't even dare to walk on it. There were at least five times more guards around the Long family's residence than usual, and countless soldiers stood guard inside and outside. All of them looked incredibly nervous, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Long Zheng Yang couldn't sleep at all. The events of the previous night had turned the entire Long family upside down, and even he had been given a huge fright. Although everything had calmed down, he was still unable to calm down, and was unable to sleep. Every five minutes, he would receive a message. The news continuously came, causing him to feel more and more uneasy.
The intruders had indeed been repelled, but …
A person quickly ran over, passing through the layers of guards and arriving in front of Long Zheng Yang. Long Zheng Yang turned and asked, "Did you find them?"
The person shook his head, "No … the person who escaped with Ling Chen seemed to have gone north. As we searched in that direction, we found a large number of Dark Eagle corpses, all of which had been killed by gunfire. Most likely, they had been ambushed. There were at least 300 people ambushed, but we didn't find any of their corpses. After that, they discovered another five Iron Dragon armored vehicles that had been blown up, as well as twenty-five charred corpses and scattered corpse fragments. An armoured vehicle can only carry 5 Steel Dragon soldiers, so the charred corpses should be from the 25 Steel Dragon soldiers. As for the shattered corpses, it's possible that they belonged to Ling Tian or the person who took Ling Tian away. Of course, it's only a possibility. "
"Continue." Long Zheng Yang said in a low voice.
"At the northern border, we found a large number of corpses of Blood Wolves and Fierce Tigers. Half of them had their throats slit, and the other half died from concentrated fire. In addition, from the bloodstains left behind, other than the dead Blood Wolf and Fierce Tiger, there were at least more than a hundred corpses left behind, but these corpses should have all been taken away. Not far away, there were traces of a large number of corpses being incinerated. We searched the scene thoroughly and found nothing of value. It seems that the other party doesn't want us to know their origins. Judging from their style, scale, and fighting style, they don't seem to be on the same side as Ling Tian, because the people around Ling Tian are a bunch of terrifying lunatics. However, they should have some special relationship with Ling Tian, so they helped us, but at the same time, they didn't want us to find out. "
Long Zheng Yang frowned and sank into his thoughts. After a while, he asked, "Where are the others?"
The man looked ashamed as he replied, "Those people were simply too powerful, and their ability to protect themselves was simply inconceivable. Last night, only one of them was killed, and that was because he was already heavily injured when he arrived. The other one, who was heavily injured in the leg, was captured alive and locked up in the Xuanyuan family's prison. After the others escaped … we haven't caught a single one of them yet. Their battle strength is incredibly strong, and their ability to hide and evade detection is even more terrifying. We used almost all of our forces, but we couldn't find a single one of them. It was as if they had all disappeared from the world. "
20 or so people, all injured and exhausted, were able to escape from the Long family's heavy encirclement. Moreover, after escaping, the Long family was unable to find them. Their fearsomeness caused Long Zheng Yang's heart to once again turn cold. Such a terrifying person that made him tremble had actually been living in Jinghua City for many years, but he had not noticed it at all. He had been thinking hard about where this group of monsters came from.
"Leader, don't worry too much. The corpse that was blown up might even be Ling Tian's. Moreover, he was so heavily injured yesterday that it's impossible for him to survive. Moreover, even if he's still breathing, if he dares to go to the hospital, we'll immediately know. If he doesn't go to the hospital, his injuries will quickly worsen, and he definitely won't be able to survive. "He comforted in a small voice. He knew what Long Zheng Yang was thinking right now.
His words were reasonable, but that was only to normal people. Ling Chen was a 'monster', and Long Zheng Yang couldn't be at ease until he saw his corpse.
"Have you taken care of the martyrs? And how are Murong and Xuanyuan? "Long Zheng Yang asked.
"Their corpses have all been taken care of. Poison Eagle and Owl Wolf's corpses have been taken care of. Chief Murong hasn't woken up yet, but with his extraordinary physique, he'll definitely be fine. The Xuanyuan Gate Sect Leader is also unconscious, but his life isn't in danger. However, the doctor said that because his arm was forcefully torn off, it's unlikely that he'll be able to recover. It's possible that … it's possible that … the Sword God is currently resting in the hospital. Last night, he fought with Feng Xie Yu for a long time, and all of his wounds have reopened. His situation … doesn't seem too optimistic. However, he's the Sword God, and with enough time, he should be able to recover. Leader, Murong and the Sword God aren't here, so you have to be careful during this period of time. It's possible that some people will take advantage of this time to attack. "
Hearing the name 'Feng Xie Yu', Long Zheng Yang's eyebrows jumped, and he directly asked, "Where's Feng Xie Yu right now? Did you find out why she was helping Ling Tian's group?! "
What shocked him the most wasn't why Ling Chen hated the Long family so much … but why Feng Xie Yu had acted so strangely! She had treated herself as a dead person, and hadn't stepped out of the Long family and Xuanyuan family's territory for so many years. It was impossible for her to come into contact with outsiders, and it was impossible for her to know Ling Chen. However, why had she suddenly saved him … if it wasn't for her, Ling Chen would have died last night. Moreover, in order to give those people time to escape with Ling Chen, she had stabbed Xuanyuan Dao with her sword …
"Last night, Feng Xie Yu and the Sword God were both seriously injured … after those people left, she also left. There's still no news of her … as for why she would help those people … I have no idea. "
No matter if it was the Long family or the Xuanyuan family, no one could understand why she would do such a thing.
There was no progress at all, and the information Long Zheng Yang received made him feel even more frustrated. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Take me to see the person we captured last night. Now!"
The Xuanyuan family was located in a very large manor, and it looked quite modern. As the most powerful cold weapon family in Hua Xia, many of their customs, including their buildings, were different from modern ones. Beneath this manor, there was a secret dungeon. This dungeon wasn't for public use, but was used to lock up important or secret people.
The person they had captured last night was locked up in the innermost part of the dungeon, which was also the most heavily guarded area.
Long Zheng Yang walked down and stood in front of three steel doors. Within the cage, a person sat paralyzed on the ground. His body was covered with blood, and he seemed to have lost all feeling in his legs. Despite this, his entire body was bound by at least 10 thick chains. His arms, neck, legs and the rest of his body … it was clear how much they feared this person. After all, these people had traumatized them too much. The main reason they had been able to capture him was because he had suffered a serious gunshot wound to his leg before he had arrived at the Long family's residence.
His head was lowered, and his hair was disheveled. However, Long Zheng Yang could tell that he was only in his early twenties … the 26 people from last night were all this young, and the oldest was not even 30 years old. To be so terrifying at such a young age, Long Zheng Yang couldn't help but wonder if these people were demons that had escaped from hell.
"What's your name?" Long Zheng Yang expressionlessly asked. The person in the cage had his hair slightly swaying, and he was most likely awake.
Indeed, hearing Long Zheng Yang's voice, he raised his head … his young face was filled with a resoluteness that didn't match his age. He coldly laughed as he slowly replied, "My surname is Qin, and my name is Dad. You can call me Dad, heheh …"
"You!!" Long Zheng Yang's guards were infuriated. Long Zheng Yang was the highest authority in Hua Xia; who dared to humiliate him like this? Long Zheng Yang raised his hand and stepped forwards. He didn't get angry as he said seriously, "I know you won't betray your friends. If I asked you where they were hiding, I'm sure that even if you died, you wouldn't say a single word. As such, I won't waste any time forcing you to tell me. I only want to know one thing … I want to know what enmity Ling Tian, or Ling Chen, has with my Long family! There's no need for you to hide this, right? "
"Hah …" Long Zheng Yang coldly laughed. He raised his head, and looked at the man who held the highest authority in Hua Xia, his eyes filled with hatred and mockery, "You? You have the face to ask what enmity master has with you?! Back then, you consigned him to eternal damnation. If it wasn't for master's strong will to live, he would have long since died because of you!! He came back to life, but those years were more painful than death. The pain he suffered during those years would have killed you a thousand times, or even ten thousand times! The reason why master continued to live was because of the person he cared about, as well as to take revenge. However, when he returned, the person he cared about was already dead!! Because of you! That's why he attacked your Long family 6 years ago! During those 6 years, he met a girl, and that girl conquered him. She became the most important part of his life, and he even started to forget about his hatred towards you. And you … it was you … who caused that girl to die in front of master last night!!! Even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs, and pigs and dogs still have a conscience. You … the well-dressed Long Zheng Yang who wears the hat of the highest authority is even worse than a pig or dog! What you owe master, you can't even repay 100 lives! And you still have the face to ask what enmity he has with your Long family? Ptui!! "
Long Zheng Yang furiously roared, and his gaze became more and more disgusted, "Piss off immediately! I don't want to look at you anymore, you piece of trash, because you'll only stain my eyes! You'd better kill me immediately, otherwise I won't be willing to die. I'll continue to live, because I want to keep my life and kill even more of your people. Hahahaha … piss off! Piss off!!!! "
"You!!" Long Zheng Yang's guards could not take it anymore, and pulled out their guns, but were stopped by Long Zheng Yang. Long Zheng Yang's expression darkened, and these roars did not answer his questions. Instead, they made him even more confused. However, he did not continue to ask. He knew that if he stayed here any longer, he would only receive mockery and hatred.
"Let's go … also, don't let him die."
After saying these things, Long Zheng Yang left the Xuanyuan family's prison with a heavy heart. He silently thought about all the people who had died because of him … and all sorts of possibilities.
However, there was only one correct answer. His thoughts had never touched upon it.
