Chapter 190 Ending
Although Long Pinghai knew that his father was a man who could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, he never expected that the other party would help outsiders to deal with him, his own son!
When he was escorted to the front hall and forced to kneel down in front of so many people, Long Pinghai felt extremely humiliated.
He really wanted to say something, but after seeing that there was a Blood Demon Ancestor whose cultivation had been sealed kneeling next to him, Long Pinghai knew that it was useless for him to say anything now.
"Everyone, my father asked you to come here today because of a case of collusion between a thief in our family and an evil cultivator. We in the Long family have always been brave enough to take responsibility for our actions. If there is a thief in our family, we will never cover it up."
"Today, we invite you all to come here and observe in order to prove the innocence of our Long family. If you hear about this matter in the future, please testify for our Long family. Our Long family has never been in cahoots with the evil cultivators. It's just that we have unfilial descendants in our family who have tarnished the reputation of our ancestors."
Seeing that most people had arrived, City Lord Long bowed to everyone and explained the reason why he had invited them here.
These people had already been frightened by the scene before them, and when they heard that evil cultivators were actually involved in this matter, they were even more surprised.
After hearing what City Lord Long said, they naturally understood what had happened.
On the one hand, they lamented that it was a misfortune for the Long family to have such a descendant. On the other hand, they could not help but admire the uprightness of the old city lord Long, who was worthy of being the one who could defend the Falling Dragon City.
Everyone agreed, saying that they knew that the Long family all had righteous intentions and would never misunderstand this.
After hearing these people's responses, City Lord Long finally felt relieved and began to interrogate his son and grandson.
As things turned out, Long Pinghai and Long Yuchun both knew that they had reached the end of their road.
It’s just that Long Pinghai was too lazy to struggle, but Long Yuchun still wanted to beg for mercy from his grandfather.
So Long Yuchun answered whatever the old city lord Long asked.
He spilled out everything he knew: "Grandfather, please don't kill us. This was all forced upon us by that evil cultivator! He was the one who bewitched my father first, and my father wanted me to improve my cultivation, so I fell into the trap of this evil cultivator!"
"Grandfather, even though we know this evil cultivator, we really have never done anything to harm the cultivation world. Dad and I are truly innocent!"
"Heh!" A strange sneer suddenly came from the mouth of the silent Blood Demon Ancestor. "My dear disciple, didn't you send several human sacrifices to honor the master a few days ago? How come you have changed so much in just a few days?"
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with you!" Long Yuchun's pupils trembled and his whole body was shaking.
But if the Blood Demon Ancestor could listen to him, that would be strange.
"Don't make you sound so innocent. I was being hunted by the Qing Xiao Sect. If you hadn't helped me hide me in the City Lord's Mansion, I would have been caught long ago. If there was no relationship between us, why would you be so kind to help me?"
"My dear disciple, just admit it. We are in the same group. Otherwise, where did you get the Phoenix Blood Stone statue that you gave to your grandfather?"
After being reminded by the Blood Demon Ancestor, City Lord Long recalled that Princess Luo had mentioned to him before that the Phoenix Blood Stone statue that he loved so much was carved with the Phoenix Blood Stone brought by this evil cultivator.
Thinking of this, City Lord Long curled his lips and showed a look of disgust on his face.
He angrily ordered the housekeeper: "Quickly take the Phoenix Blood Stone statue from my room and return it to this evil cultivator!"
The housekeeper hurried to do it after hearing the order, fearing that there was something wrong with the statue. After all, it was made by evil cultivators, so who knows what tricks they will play?
The statue was delivered quickly and placed directly in front of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
Things had come to this point, and City Lord Long was too lazy to ask any more questions. He pointed at Long Pinghai and his son and said, "I know that both of you are heartless. You only care about your own pleasure and don't care about your father and brothers at all. Since you don't care about kinship, I have nothing to say."
He waved his hand at the housekeeper and said, "Take these two wicked people away and lock them up, and then remove them from the family tree! From now on, these two people will have nothing to do with our Long family!"
After hearing the decision of City Lord Long, Long Yuchun's entire spirit seemed to be deflated. He instantly collapsed to the ground, not knowing how to react for a moment.
As for Long Pinghai, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the old City Lord Long with resentment: "Father, you are so heartless. I just did one wrong thing, and you want to drive us out of the City Lord's Mansion. You don't even care about the relationship between us?"
"You scolded me for not caring about my family, but do you care about me? We are all your sons, but you never see me. You only know my eldest brother and several younger brothers. If it weren't for the help of the Blood Demon Ancestor, Yuchun and I would probably not even remember that we exist!"
It seemed that Long Pinghai, who had been silent, could no longer bear it and spoke to the old city lord Long.
He felt that he had been wronged for many years and had been ignored by his father, so he would cooperate with the Blood Demon Ancestor regardless of everything, just to gain a foothold in the City Lord's Mansion.
But after hearing what Long Pinghai said, Old City Lord Long was so angry that he covered his chest with his hands, his face red: "What are you thinking about all day, you idiot? I am busy practicing and dealing with the affairs of the mansion every day. Let alone you, I don't see other children many times a year. Why don't they feel that I have neglected them?"
"Besides, how could I ignore you? You and your son may not know anything else, but you are good at spending money. I pay for the millions of spirit stones every year. If I didn't love you, I would have kicked you out of the City Lord's Mansion and left you to starve!"
The old city lord became angrier and angrier as he scolded. He believed that his son was the most spendthrift among all his other descendants. The annual expenses of the two of them were more than those of the rest of them combined.
But the old city lord never reprimanded them for anything and even used his own private money to subsidize them.
So just because he doesn't meet the children often, it means he is mistreating Long Pinghai and is not good to them?
"I finally understand why you and your son have become what you are today. It seems that it's not because I didn't teach you well, but because you are bad from the root!"
Old City Lord Long waved his hand and said, "If you feel that I have wronged you, then I have nothing to say. After all, you have no fate with our Long family! Boss, go get the family tree, and I will personally cross them out!"
With the insistence of the old city lord, the Long family tree was finally taken out.
In front of Long Pinghai and his son and other guests present, the old city lord Long simply crossed out the names of Long Pinghai and his son.
The moment he saw his name being erased, Long Pinghai collapsed to the ground. He regretted it. He vaguely realized that he had made the most wrong move, but it was meaningless to say it now.
He is no longer a member of the Long family, and in the future he will be charged with colluding with evil cultivators, and he will never be able to turn things around.
