Long Haotian was furious.
Before him, the disciples of the Long clan's collateral branches all lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
Looking at these young people, Long Haotian felt even angrier.
He hadn't expected the Long family to be so cowardly these days.
"never mind!"
"The Ancient Burial Grounds are about to open. During this time, if you have nothing to do, don't go looking for trouble. If you do, and get caught, don't say you're from the Long family."
"I, the Long family, cannot afford to lose face like this!"
As soon as Long Haotian finished speaking, everyone respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
".... .... ..."
"Your Majesty, should we still redeem Elder Long Yi?" a member of the Long family suddenly asked.
"How much is the ransom?" Long Haotian asked.
"Your Majesty, the Ji family's offer is one billion spirit stones."
Upon hearing the offer, everyone took a deep breath, and even Long Haotian's face darkened.
"Ten billion spirit stones! Long Yi is just a Nirvana Realm cultivator, yet the Ji family dares to demand such a large ransom!"
"I won't redeem it!" Long Haotian decisively gave up.
Ten billion spirit stones—that's enough resources for a half-saint to cultivate for a year!
A Nirvana Realm cultivator, especially one whose future is ruined, is not worth spending so many spirit stones to redeem a piece of trash.
........
At this moment, in a heavily guarded palace within the Long clan's imperial palace.
The Ninth Prince, Long Haochen, was lying on the bed with a blank expression.
His face, which had been dented by Lin Xiao's slap, had recovered.
All his injuries have fully healed.
However, unable to leave the palace, he will likely remain there for the rest of his life until his death.
Just then, a sigh echoed in Long Haochen's mind.
"Child! Do you want revenge?"
Upon hearing this voice, Long Haochen's lifeless eyes finally stirred.
"who!"
"Who's speaking!"
Long Haochen looked left and right, but didn't see anyone, so he finally became alert.
Is it possible that his 'brothers' are about to make a move against him?
"Child! There are too many powerful figures here. I have not yet recovered my strength and cannot appear before you."
"Close your eyes, and you will see me!"
The voice continued to echo in Long Haochen's mind, its cold tone now seemingly imbued with a touch of humanity.
"Close your eyes..."
Long Haochen did as he was told, and then he closed his eyes.
A figure appeared in his mind.
This is a woman of exceptional beauty, with long, flowing white hair and a slender figure, dressed in a white robe.
Long Haochen only glanced at the woman, and immediately felt an endless chill spread throughout his body.
"Who...who are you?"
Why do you keep appearing in my mind?
Long Haochen said with a solemn expression.
This seems to be a spirit, and it's even appearing in his mind. Is he about to be possessed?
"Child! Don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. It was just an accident that entered your body when you were young."
"However, I suffered severe injuries and my soul is extremely weak, which is why I had no choice but to reside in your mind."
"It is also thanks to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that you have provided over the years that my soul has been able to recover somewhat!"
The white-haired woman spoke in a cool and aloof tone.
Perhaps to avoid an awkward silence, he forced a smile at the end.
"You! You! It was you all along!"
"My cultivation has regressed, I'm looked down upon, my engagement has been broken off, and I've become a laughingstock throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Dao Domain—all because of you!"
Long Haochen said angrily, his eyes seeming to spit flames and burn the woman in front of him to death.
"Child! This is not my subjective will, and haven't you grown up over the years?"
"At least you've learned the coldness of human relationships and the truth of this world. Without strength, you're nothing. The respect you received in the past was all due to your strength and status."
“…” Long Haochen fell silent.
He has indeed grown a lot over the years, and his mentality has become much calmer. He can calmly deal with the ridicule from family, friends, and outsiders.
Except for one person!
Long Haochen's eyes narrowed slightly as the scene from yesterday flashed through his mind—the person who had slapped him away in front of everyone.
In his presence, the mentality he had cultivated over the years unexpectedly erupted.
What's going on?
"Child! I'll ask you one more time: do you want revenge?"
"To make up for your losses over the years, and as payment for the spiritual energy I have absorbed from you, I can accept you as a disciple under a nominal name."
"I will impart to you unparalleled martial arts, guaranteeing you the ability to take revenge. Without my assistance, it would be extremely difficult for you to avenge yourself against that young man who struck you."
The white-haired woman spoke earnestly; as an ancient sword emperor, her judgment was naturally exceptional.
Even though it was just a soul, she was deeply attracted to Lin Xiao the moment she saw him that day.
In all her years, she had never seen a young person with such powerful charm or extraordinary aura.
Of course, this is not important.
More importantly, she saw many inheritances in Lin Xiao: the Book of Immortal Body, the inheritance of divine sword techniques, and all sorts of secret methods.
