Xiao Qingran couldn't help but look at the elder, wanting to applaud his decisiveness.
But Xiao Qingran also knew that not every citizen of Sang Country was a bad person. If they were all destroyed, it would be really detrimental to his cultivation. If he tried to advance again in the future, he would most likely be struck by lightning.
For the deans and elders of the Immortal Academy, not only were they able to advance smoothly without suffering a thunder tribulation, they were truly rare in this world. This simply means they rarely kill and maintain a stable state of mind. Most importantly, they've done so many good deeds that even the heavenly thunder spares them.
This elder said this, and he must have made up his mind. Even if he was struck by lightning, he didn't want the people of Sang to be alive. He was sacrificing his own life in exchange for permanent peace in Kyushu.
Dean Zhu sighed and said, "We only need to cut off the lifeline of the Sang Kingdom at the source. There is no need to take our anger out on those innocent people."
"Okay, stay at the Long family's house tonight. We'll set off tomorrow."
Xiao Qingran agreed with Dean Zhu's approach. If she really had to take action against innocent people, she would actually feel soft-hearted.
Not long after, Patriarch Long woke up.
What surprised everyone was that not long after waking up, Patriarch Long advanced directly from the peak of the Golden Core stage to the early Nascent Soul stage.
The appearance of the old patriarch, Long, who had returned from his fifties or sixties, had returned to that of middle-aged age. This change made Madam Long both happy and sad.
Her current cultivation had regressed to the late foundation building stage, and her appearance remained that of a person in her fifties or sixties. Standing next to the old patriarch Long, she looked like the old patriarch's mother.
"Xingwei, no matter what I become, you will always be my wife."
The Long clan leader's name was Long Huan, and his wife's real name was Ruan Xingwei. They had met at the Immortal Academy, married, and had three sons together. Nearly fifty years had passed since then, and their relationship was profound.
Even though his appearance has changed, the old patriarch's heart for Madam Long will never change.
At this time, Patriarch Long was holding Madam Long's wrinkled hand, with a gentle light in his eyes.
"Xingwei, I will definitely find a way to restore your cultivation."
The look in Patriarch Long's eyes was unusually firm.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Qingran smiled slightly and walked up to the two of them.
"If you want Madam Long to regain her strength, it's actually very simple. You were all poisoned by the Sang people. You just need to remove the poison from your body, or get the antidote from the Sang people, and everyone's strength will slowly recover. Even if you can't truly recover, you can still practice again."
After hearing what Xiao Qingran said, the old patriarch Long said excitedly: "If that's the case, then I will go to Sang Country to find the antidote now. Kill those bastards in Sang Country."
Xiao Qingran chuckled: "It just so happens that we are planning to go to Sang Country tomorrow. How about Patriarch Long join us?"
Long Huan glanced at Dean Zhu and the others in surprise: "Are you planning to attack the Sang people's lair? Or are you planning to exterminate those bastards directly? With me in tow, I will definitely wipe out those bastards."
Dean Zhu snorted. "Long Huan, you're still the same as before, with a bad temper and a tendency to act impulsively. We plan to go to Sang Country and solve the problem at the source. If you go, you must follow the instructions and don't act alone. It's your personality that will cause trouble. Many members of the Long clan are dissatisfied because of your bad temper, which led to a large number of them defecting and joining the Sang people."
Long Huan's face was flushed with anger after being scolded by Dean Zhu.
If it were in the past, he would have jumped up in dissatisfaction and confronted the deans, but today, he lowered his head very low.
Because when he was tortured in the water dungeon by his own family, he reflected on his life. He also knew that his character was flawed. He once vowed that as long as he lived, he would change his temper.
After being exposed by the deans, he felt ashamed.
"Okay, I've prepared a banquet for everyone tonight. Long Qi, come and take everyone to the banquet hall. Your father and I will be there in a moment."
Seeing that her husband was like a child being scolded, Old Lady Long couldn't bear to see him lose face in front of the children, so she could only shift the focus to other things to give Old Patriarch Long a way out.
Wait for Xiao Qingran and his group to go to the banquet hall.
Madam Long looked helplessly at the old patriarch Long: "Ah Huan, after so many years, you need to change your temper. I know sometimes you can't control yourself, but this time the Long family was almost wiped out, and you have to bear most of the responsibility."
The old clan leader Long nodded in shame: "Xingwei, I know everything. I will definitely change in the future. I plan to pass the position of clan leader to Long Qi when I return from Sang Country. His personality is a combination of yours and mine, and he is more suitable for this position."
Madam Long nodded. "It's good that you've figured it out. When Long Qi becomes the clan leader, you can accompany me back to Tianyan Continent! I don't even know if my father, mother, and eldest brother are still around. I'm an unfilial person."
Patriarch Long felt even more guilty.
"It's all because of me that you didn't have the chance to go back. Don't worry, I will definitely go back with you this time. If my parents-in-law and my eldest brother-in-law are here, I want to bring them over to see our side of the world."
As the couple spoke, smiles appeared on their faces.
The next morning, Patriarch Long said goodbye to his clansmen and boarded Xiao Qingran's large aircraft.
The aircraft was flying very fast and it stopped over Sang Country in just half a day.
Xiao Qingran looked at Xiao Jiyuan. "Yuan'er, you understand formations. Formations and barriers are actually similar, despite the different terms. Where would the Sang people set up their large barrier? We need to find it and eliminate all the Sang experts hiding within."
Xiao Jiyuan was about to respond when Ah Bai suddenly said, "Ah Ran, when you broke the barrier before, I memorized the scent of the barrier. He doesn't need to look for it, I can smell it with my nose."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Abai curiously.
Use your sense of smell?
Is this even possible?
Dean Zhu, in particular, had become numb to all the unimaginable things that had happened to him since he met Xiao Qingran. But Ah Bai's words had left him with a sense of uncertainty as to whether he was actually living in reality or an illusion.
Damn it, they've been searching for the Sang people's hidden barrier for decades and haven't found it. Then Bai comes along and can smell it with just his nose. How can he not be shocked?
But no matter how he reacted, Abai successfully stopped him from blurting out the unscientific words with practical actions.
Ah Bai pointed in a direction and said to Xiao Qingran, "Drive the aircraft over there. There's a familiar aura over there."
Xiao Qingran did as Abai said, slowed down the aircraft, and slowly approached the place Abai pointed.
"Yes, it's right up there. The aura is very strong."
Abai pointed at the air, his eyes full of determination.
"Hiss, no wonder we couldn't find this place for so many years. I didn't expect them to put the barrier in the sky."
