As the guests in the hall were dismissed, Mr. Xiao slowly stood up hunched over.
He looked at Long Yi with a complicated expression and said, "Mr. Long, follow me."
Old Master Xiao walked unsteadily with Long Yi towards the side hall, and spoke with a sigh as he walked.
"With the strength of the East Commandery Long Family, if it hadn't been for the invasion of the Eastern Territory army, even if the entire nation's aristocratic families had united, they might not have been able to shake them in the slightest. Unfortunately, the battle in the Eastern Territory severely damaged the Long Family, which gave the other aristocratic families the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
"Everyone knows that your East Commandery Long family is incredibly powerful and glorious, but who knew that nine out of ten Long families have no sons! They all died for their country!"
Hearing this, Long Yi's sharp face was filled with anger. He suppressed his immense rage and questioned the head of the Xiao family with gritted teeth.
"The Long family fought bravely for the country, yet you traitors took advantage of the situation and slaughtered the entire Long family?"
Facing Long Yi's questioning, Mr. Xiao's hunched back seemed to be weighed down by a heavy burden, making it hard for him to breathe, and he said with a look of shame.
"Yes, that night, we, the traitors, marched down East County with three thousand assassins. All of them were masters above the Profound Realm. After daybreak, not a single member of the Long family was left alive."
Long Yi clenched his fists, his blood surged, the energy in his body overflowed, and the pressure of the Xuan realm master was released instantly.
"kneel!"
The head of the Xiao family knelt on the ground under Long Yi's overwhelming pressure!
Long Yi grabbed the collar of the Xiao family's patriarch and asked with bloodshot eyes.
"You heartless beasts want power and influence! Why would you go so far as to wipe out the entire Long family? Even the women and children of the Long family will be brutally murdered!"
The head of the Xiao family shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Everyone in the Long family is a strong-willed person. Following the death of the head of the Long family in battle, they all committed suicide one after another."
"Before dawn, all members of the Long family died in battle!"
Bang!
Upon hearing this, Long Yi activated his internal Qi and slapped the Xiao family patriarch in the face with a loud slap.
"My Long family is full of heroes, but they died at the hands of a bunch of thieves like you. Who is the mastermind behind this?"
Old Master Xiao got up from the ground in a panic, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Forget it. I'm already dying, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. Back then, the Liu family from the capital was the leader, and they colluded with the three great families in East County."
"As a retainer of the Liu family, I also participated in this matter. I just ask you not to vent your anger on the Xiao family. This matter has nothing to do with the younger generation."
After Mr. Xiao finished speaking, he took out a sandalwood box from the secret compartment of the bookcase and handed it to Long Yi.
"This is the dragon pendant you wanted. The rest of the dragon pendants should be scattered among the heads of other noble families who participated in the incident."
Long Yi stared at the head of the Xiao family with a cold expression.
"You're not naive enough to think that handing over the Dragon Peal will wipe the slate clean, are you?"
Old Master Xiao looked miserable, as if he had anticipated the outcome.
"Blood debts must be repaid with blood. How could an old man like me, in his seventies, not understand this? I have been living in regret all these years. Now committing suicide can be considered an explanation to the deceased heroes of the Long family."
After the head of the Xiao family finished speaking, he pulled out the sword hanging on the bookshelf and committed suicide by cutting his stomach open.
"Traitor Xiao Lie, hold the entire Long family of heroes accountable!"
Long Yi watched coldly as the Xiao family's patriarch fell in a pool of blood...
If Xiao Lie did not commit suicide, Long Yi would not mind making the Xiao family pay a more painful price.
Long Yi opened the sandalwood box, and a warm and subtle fragrance wafted to his face. A small dragon pendant with a delicate and warm texture lay quietly in the box.
He took out the dragon pendant on his body and placed it together with it. The two dragon pendants instantly stuck tightly together and gradually merged, without any trace of being pieced together.
It's all natural!
An overwhelming force emanated from the dragon pendant, and faint dragon roars could be heard in the room.
When two jades come together, a hidden dragon emerges from the abyss!
Now that he knew the reason why the Long family was exterminated twenty years ago, it was time to go back to Dongjun to visit the old site of the Long family and, by the way, deal with the three major families of Dongjun that participated in the extermination.
...
Western Regions, Brahma Island.
"Master, the dragon scales on the altar are always shining!"
The old man who was called the sect leader had a dazzling light in his eyes and knelt down heavily facing the east.
"It seems that the master has already fused the second dragon pendant!"
"Heaven has mercy on you. My Lord, you have not abandoned me for twenty years. I am willing to burn my last rays of light for you in my twilight years!"
One of the top ten Western financial groups.
Sitting on a chair in the president's office, a beautiful girl with an oriental face looked at the shining dragon scales on the table with a look of delight on her face.
"My Lord, I have waited for this moment for twenty years!"
At the same time, forces around the world that usually remain hidden from the world seemed to have received some kind of instructions and were preparing to come out.
"The Lord is willing to go through fire and water!"
“…”
The next morning.
Long Yi has arrived at the former site of the Long family in Dongjun, and is filled with emotion for a moment.
The prosperous Dragon Mansion twenty years ago has now turned into a desolate cemetery. Looking inside through the guardrails, the graves have long been overgrown with weeds because no one has taken care of them.
"Ancestors, it is Long Yi who is unfilial!"
Long Yi walked to the entrance of the cemetery, but found that the rusty iron gate had been locked for a long time, and there was even a seal with a note saying - Tomb of the Traitor Long Family!
Who is framing the Long family? Even the dead aren't spared!
Long Yi clenched his fists and tore off the ridiculous seal.
The Long family, who defended the eastern border for the country twenty years ago and ended up with their family destroyed, were actually framed like this after their death!
His joints cracked and he punched out!
The locked iron door broke open!
In the distance, two pickup trucks roared towards Long Yi, and the person in the passenger seat shouted.
"Which of you, the fearless bastard, dares to tear the seal of my Wu family? I will make sure you never come back!"
After the pickup truck stopped and the dust settled, a group of people in the car walked straight towards Long Yi.
"My eldest brother is talking to you, are you deaf?"
Long Yi looked at the other party coldly, "So these seals were put up by you?"
The man who was leading the attack looked like he had heard some huge joke, and his face was shaking uncontrollably.
"This is the Wu family's fucking land. Let alone sealing it, I could even pee on these graves and no one would dare to say a word!"
After hearing the other party's extremely arrogant words, Long Yi laughed out of anger.
"Good, very good! I hope you'll have the conditions to pee again in your lifetime!"
After saying that, without waiting for the fat man to react, Long Yi shook his right hand and a silver needle shot out!
Go straight to the man's crotch!
In a moment, the man's fat face turned pale, cold sweat dripped down his face, and his body hunched like a shrimp.
"Brother Wu, are you okay?"
The younger brothers around him looked at the man lying on the ground in pain, not knowing what was going on.
With their eyesight, they didn't even notice Long Yi's move.
Long Yi looked at the struggling man on the ground with an expressionless face, "Are you from the Wu family of Dongjun? I haven't even gone looking for you yet, but you came to my door on your own!"
