Crimson Fire Town, Long Family Hall.
The Long Family was built by Long Haoshi alone. After thirty years of development, it had become one of the Four Great Families in Crimson Fire Town.
The head of the Long Family, Long Haoshi, was seventy-five years old this year. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Tenth Heavenly Layer. He was the only Tenth Heavenly Layer martial artist in Crimson Fire Town.
Long Haoshi had five sons. The eldest, Long Yi, was Long Ao's biological father. The second, Long Li, and the third, Long Jian, were Long Qianqian's fathers. The fourth, Long Lin, was the father of Long Ziyou, Long An, Long Zheng, and Long Fang. The fifth, Long Hua.
Among the five sons of the Long Family, only the eldest, Long Yi, had reached the Tenth Heavenly Layer. He was also the next head of the Long Family.
Within a year, there were eleven months where Long Yi, Long Jian, Long Lin, and Long Hua were not in Crimson Fire Town. Instead, they were far away in Thundercloud City. Only the second, Long Li, stayed in the Long Family to take care of everything.
Long Ao was the most dazzling genius of the Long Family ten years ago. Whether it was Long Haoshi or Long Yi, they were proud to have such a son and grandson.
However, ten years ago, Long Ao failed to condense the Endless Cycle. The Long Family tried everything to no avail. Long Haoshi and Long Yi lost confidence in Long Ao. Especially Long Haoshi, he hadn't seen his grandson for eight years.
At this moment, the Long Family Hall was filled with people.
The head of the Long Family was undoubtedly the head of the Long Family, Long Haoshi. The first seat on the left was Long Li, who was in charge of everything in the Long Family.
From the second seat on the left and right were Long Ying, Long Chen, Long Shi, Long Yi, Long Ziyou, Long Pingqiu, Long Feng, Long An, Long Zheng, Long Fang, and Long Meng.
All the third generation disciples of the Long Family were present. There were thirteen people in the third generation of the Long Family. Except for Long Ao, who didn't condense his inner strength, the other twelve had all condensed their inner strength and reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer.
Everyone, from Long Haoshi to Long Meng, was waiting for one person.
A former genius, now a waste, suddenly condensed his inner strength last night.
This person was Long Ao.
In front of the Long family's main hall.
Long Ao did not stop at all and directly stepped into the hall. The moment he stepped in, everyone's gazes shot over. However, Long Ao was not moved in the slightest. He went straight to Long Haoshi, bowed and asked, "Grandfather, is there something you need from me?"
Long Haoshi also seemed to be a little surprised. He nodded and said, "I heard that you've already condensed inner strength, so you'll be part of this ghost hunting operation."
Ghost hunting operation?
"This morning, news came from Thundercloud City, saying that the wanted criminal, Black Ghost, has come to Scarlet Fire Town and is hiding in the Scarlet Volcano. Just now, the three great clans have already communicated with us. In order to give the young people a chance to gain experience, you can also participate in this ghost hunting operation."
So that was the case.
"I'll listen to Grandfather's arrangements."
"Grandpa, what about us? Old Seven shamelessly ambushed us and almost killed us. "
Hearing that their grandfather did not have the slightest intention of blaming Old Seven, Long An, Long Zheng, and Long Fang were completely anxious. Did they get slapped for nothing?
Long Ziyou also stood up and bowed respectfully. Her voice was very cold as she said, "Grandfather, you once said that the disciples of the Long family are not allowed to have internal strife. Now that Old Seven has seriously injured his three brothers, I hope Grandfather can help them."
In the hall, everyone from the third generation looked at Long Ao with a little curiosity. They did not know how this waste did it. Even if he condensed inner strength, how could he slap the three of them into pig heads?
One must know that Long An and Long Zheng had already reached the fifth layer of inner strength. How could someone who had just condensed inner strength be comparable to them. Because of this, in everyone's opinion, the reason why Long Ao was able to slap the three of them into pig heads was 99% due to a sneak attack.
"Long Ao, what is going on?"
Seeing that their grandfather was a little unhappy, the four of them sat down obediently. In the Long family, Long Haoshi's dignity was inviolable. Not to mention the third generation, even the second generation did not dare to breathe loudly in front of this family head.
"Grandfather, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine."
Gradually, Long Ao did not say anything more. However, it was this explanation that made everyone understand the meaning of Long Ao's words.
Ever since ten years ago, when Long Ao failed to condense the endless cycle, his cultivation fell back to the third layer, and he was unable to continue condensing the inner strength, Long An and the other two had been looking for trouble with Long Ao. Everyone in the Long family knew about this matter.
Long Haoshi's eyes emitted a golden light as he stared at his grandson in front of him. He did not say anything. Just like that, the entire hall fell into silence. No one dared to speak first.
"Long Ao, no matter what, this matter is still your fault. I must give the others an explanation."
Hearing that their grandfather was going to punish Long Ao, Long An and the others' faces were filled with joy. As for the others, some were mocking, some were watching a good show, some were indifferent, some were sympathetic, and there were all kinds of expressions.
"Tonight, clean up the Martial Skill Pavilion. Everyone go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, we will head to the Scarlet Volcano."
"Yes, grandfather."
Everyone stood up and respectfully bowed. Then, one by one, they filed out. However, Long An and the others were completely dumbfounded. They could not believe it.
This was grandfather's punishment for Old Seven?
How was this a punishment? This was clearly a reward because the Long family's Martial Skill Pavilion could not be entered at any time. Unless Long Haoshi approved, trespassers would be heavily punished.
Long An and the others were not fools. They instantly understood their grandfather's meaning. Without a doubt, Old Seven had just condensed inner strength and needed to cultivate martial skills. In name, their grandfather was punishing him to clean up the Martial Skill Pavilion, but in reality, he was letting Old Seven cultivate the Long family's martial skills while cleaning up the Martial Skill Pavilion.
Even if they were unconvinced and unhappy, Long An and the others did not dare to argue with their grandfather.
When Long Ao left the hall, he realized that no one had left. Instead, they were all blocking the entrance. Long Ziyou and the others were especially fierce. They could not wait to kill him.
"Long Ao, you win. But remember this. I will slowly settle this score with you."
"I will teach you when the time comes."
"Long Ao, you don't have to be so arrogant. In a month's time, it will be the family's internal test. I hope to see you challenge them. Otherwise, you will have to kneel down and apologize to them. Otherwise, you will not end well."
Hearing Long Ziyou's words, everyone was gloating. What kind of joke was this? Long Ao wanted to challenge Long Ziyou during the family's internal test?
Was that possible?
"Alright, we are all brothers. Don't make things like this. Everyone, disperse." The first of the Long family's third generation, Long Ying, had an ugly expression. He waved his hand, indicating for everyone to disperse.
