V17 Longjia Base Camp
Panlong City, the base camp of the Long family.
The current head of the Long family, a total of nine sons, the nine sons are not born to one mother, of which the eldest one, the third, the fourth and the ninth are the sons born to the mother of the Long family, the second, fifth, seventh, and eighth are born in the side room, as for the biological mother of the sixth, she is a descendant of the Long family, with a humble status, and passed away after giving birth to the sixth.
From the perspective of family background, the main mother of the Long family and the second lady of the side room are all from famous families, and they are inseparable from each other in terms of the power and prestige of the family behind them. It's a pity that there is an unwritten rule in the Long family, not all women from famous families have the opportunity to become the head of the Long family, unless they ......
The residence of the second master of the Long family, at this moment, the giants gathered, and several important elders in the family and the fifth, seventh, and eighth masters gathered in one place, discussing important matters.
Most of these elders and masters are masters of the Legendary Realm, and their strength is extraordinary, especially the strength of the Great Elder, who is in charge of the punishment of the Long family, and has the power of life and death, and is the person with the highest status in the outer sect of the Long family, except for the head of the family. Even if he is as noble as the second master, he has to be treated as a guest.
Most of the elders and masters respected the second master very much, and they all regarded him as the successor to the next head of the family, of course, there were exceptions.
These people are high in the Long family, and they don't know how many people they have the power of life and death. This force is enough to turn the Longxiang Continent upside down, and the Long family is worthy of being a giant-level family with strong strength. Just one outer sect is already so amazing, if you add an inner sect, ask the entire Longxiang Continent, who would dare to offend the Long family?
"Everyone, the day after tomorrow is the day of the family competition, the top three candidates in the family competition will have the opportunity to go to the Xiaoyao Pavilion and get the training of the masters of the inner sect, the opportunity is rare, I don't know what you think of the candidates for this competition?" The fifth master took the lead in taking the lead, he looked around at everyone, with a deep meaning.
"There is only one family competition in 30 years, I believe that most of the people in the family want to participate, this is a good opportunity to get ahead, even the old man yearns for it, but the number of places is only three, this competition may be very intense. One of the elders answered.
"Everyone knows that every head of the family in previous years will be selected from these three people, that is to say, the candidates who enter the top three in the competition this time are very likely to become the candidates for the next head of the family. Another elder said.
"Yes! It is precisely because this family competition is related to the selection of the next head of the family, so we have to get together to discuss it. The fifth master answered in a timely manner, "Everyone here is an important person in our Long family, and the candidate for the head of the family is also closely related to everyone here. Instead of using a competition to elect a person that everyone does not admire, or cannot control, it is better for us to decide the next head of the house internally. In this way, in the process of the competition, everyone has their own rules. I don't know what you think of the fifth child?"
When the fifth master's words fell, the whole room was suddenly silent, and everyone's expressions were different, either surprised, or surprised, or contemplative, or looking left and right...... For a while, there was no one to talk to.
Also, it was supposed to be determined by strength, but now it has been changed to internal determination. Everyone's strength is not far apart, and who would be willing to surrender?
The second master sat on the right side of the Great Elder, holding his eyes, pretending to drink tea without incident, but in fact, the afterglow was everywhere, and everyone's reactions fell into his eyes, especially the looks and reactions of the Great Elder and the Second Elder.
The Great Elder was calm, as if he hadn't heard it, while the Second Elder's face faintly showed anger.
"Everyone, if you talk about strength, in my Long family, the first person to be recommended is the Great Elder, followed by the Second Elder and the Second Master. The Seventh Master stood up and said, breaking the temporary silence, "As for those masters of the side line and juniors, they can't be compared to the strength of the three at all. If you want me to say, the winner of the family competition in the next day will definitely be among the three of you. β
"The seventh brother is right, the real masters of the Long family are the Great Elder and the Second Elder. In particular, the Great Elder is in charge of the punishment of the Long family, and has worked diligently for decades, making countless contributions to the Long family. At the same time, the Great Elder is also our uncle, with the blood of the Long family flowing in his body, if the Great Elder is elected as the head of the Long family, the little nephew will definitely bow down to serve and go to the soup for the Great Elder. The second master smiled gently, with a sincere and heartfelt attitude.
The Great Elder's eyes moved slightly, but his always cold face was calm and cold, and he spoke: "The old man is not interested in the position of the head of the family, and he will not participate in the family competition in the future. If you call the old man here today, just for this purpose, then there is no need. The old man still has a lot of official business to deal with, so he is one step ahead. β
He got up, flicked his sleeves, and left indifferently in public.
Seeing that he didn't take the second brother in his eyes like this, the seventh master and the eighth master were dissatisfied, and they were about to get up and reason with him, but the second master flew over with a slap in his eyes and stopped the two.
The rest of the elders have different expressions, you look at me, I look at you, each with their own thoughts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Great Elder is gone, the old man will not stay long. The second elder also got up and said, "However, the old man must participate in the family competition the day after tomorrow, and it depends on his strength who will kill the deer." β
After speaking, he also followed the example of the Great Elder, brushed his sleeves, and left in public.
The seventh and eighth masters are very angry, the eldest elder is the law enforcement elder of the Long family, his status is extraordinary, they dare not offend, he wants to leave, even if he wants to go, forget it, who knows that the attitude of the second elder is so arrogant, it is really infuriating! He did this, it was clear that he wanted to oppose the second brother, and compete with the second brother for the position of the head of the family, old thing, you wait and see!
The second master's eyes swept over lightly, and quickly calmed the two of them with grievances and anger.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Elder and the Second Elder are all straightforward people, so you don't need to care. The second elder smiled and greeted people, as if nothing happened, "If the Great Elder does not participate in this family competition, then the most likely winner is the Second Elder, and the Second Elder is also my clan uncle, whether it is him succeeding to the position of the head of the family, or the Great Elder succeeding to the position of the head of the family, I have no doubts." β
"Second brother, you are too modest! You and the second elder are equal in strength, and you have not really competed, so who can tell the difference between victory and defeat? Maybe your strength is even higher than his. "The seventh master said.
The eighth master also coaxed: "Not to mention, who will take the position of the head of the family is not only based on the level of martial arts, but also on his prestige in the family and his contribution to the family. In terms of prestige in the family and contributions to the family, the second elder may not be as good as the second brother. In terms of character, responsibility, and talent, if you want me to say, looking at the entire Long family's outer sect, no one can compare to the second brother. The next head of the family is none other than my second brother!"
The second master always smiled softly, shook his head shallowly, but his eyes were full of deep smiles, which was proud.
The elders looked at each other, and soon some of them began to echo the seventh and eighth masters, singing praises to the second master, admiring his exploits in the Long family and his various personalities, responsibilities, and talents.
In the crowd, the Nine Elders were silent, their eyes down and pondering, not knowing what they were thinking.
The Fifth Master looked around, secretly observing everyone present, and when he noticed the reaction of the Ninth Elder, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Ninth Elder, why don't you speak? Could it be that you don't agree with everyone's statement?"
The Ninth Elder raised his head suddenly, a little surprised, and thought about it: "The achievements and merits of the Second Master in all aspects, as we all know, naturally dare not have doubts in the next place, but everyone seems to have forgotten, in addition to the two masters of the Second Master and the Second Elder, there is a third person in our Long family. If this person appeared at the scene of the competition, I am afraid that the outcome of the competition would be unpredictable. β
As soon as he said this, the scene suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere, and everyone's faces looked a little solemn.
The fifth master turned his head, and after glancing at the second, seventh, and eighth masters, he said in a deep voice: "You mean...... My big brother?"
"That's good!" the Ninth Elder nodded heavily and said, "Uncle has been concentrating on retreat and cultivation for sixteen years now, and no one knows what his current realm is. If the uncle goes out of the customs and participates in the family competition, the top three rankings will probably be ...... at that time."
The second master's eyes, which had always been smiling, instantly condensed, but soon, he put away his feelings, pretended not to care, and said: "Elder Nine reminds me that the eldest brother has always been obsessed with martial arts, and his talent for martial arts is amazing. β
"What if the eldest brother is a good martial artist? He has no heirs under his knees, and there are only two evil seeds born to him with the help of others, what great things can he achieve? Unlike the second brother, there are groups of children under his knees, the people are prosperous, and the children and grandchildren are full of talents. In the future, if the second brother becomes the head of the family, our Long family will be able to have successors and spread out a lot, so that the Long family will be more prosperous and prosperous. "The fifth master said.
"Besides, the eldest brother has been in retreat for 16 years, and he may not be out of the customs the day after tomorrow. Let's think more about the things at hand, and as for those who don't, don't need to take them into account. β
"Yes! Anyway, I strongly approve of the second brother being the next head of the family, and I won't accept the rest!"
"I'm not convinced!"
The seventh master and the eighth master sang and harmonized, and the discerning person knew what was going on at a glance.
Most of the elders were people of good knowledge, and they echoed their rhetoric, and they sang praises in turn, implicitly expressing their allegiance.
The Ninth Elder sighed secretly, it seems that the ambition of the second master has gradually been exposed, if the master is not out of the customs, then the entire Long family will really become the world of the second master. He couldn't help but worry, worried about the future of the Long family, the future of the uncle, and the future of the young master and young master Chen.
In the interval, someone suddenly came in from outside the door and sent a note to the second master. After the second master read the note, his face changed suddenly.
"Second brother, what's wrong, what's going on?" the fifth master asked.
The second master was silent, with a calm expression, and passed the note to him.
"What? The two evil seeds born to the sister-in-law actually came back? Moreover, they not only kidnapped Qian Ye, but also killed the sixth child?" The fifth master didn't catch his breath, and he didn't believe it.
"How is it possible? They are so bold that they dare to come back to the Long family? and they also killed the sixth child?"
"No, the strength of the sixth is not far from us, but he is a master who has entered the realm of legends, how can those two evil seeds kill him?"
"The note was signed by the third elder, his words should not be false, what the hell is going on? I don't believe it, those two evil seeds can have such a powerful ability, did they invite some other masters to come to our Long family to take revenge?"
The seventh master and the eighth master were shocked, and all kinds of suspicions were unwilling, but they didn't want to believe that the two Long Qianjue brothers could have such a strong strength and could kill the sixth master with their own strength.
In the crowd, the Nine Elders' eyes lit up when they heard the news. The Absolute Young Master is finally here, he actually already has the strength to kill the Sixth Master, does that prove that he has entered the realm of legends? It has only been nine months since the last meeting in Tianlong City, and it is really amazing and gratifying to imagine that the strength of the Thousand Absolute Young Master has improved by leaps and bounds.
It's just that the current shape of the Long family is not optimistic, and he is very worried, whether the Thousand Absolute Young Master can withstand the suppression of the strong strength of the second master's side?
"It's too much! Two evil seeds actually dare to blatantly kill the Long family, is this worth it?" one of the elders said angrily, "There is an explanation on the note, where are those two evil seeds now? β
"I'll go too!" the Seventh Master said angrily, "The Third Elder explained on the note that at this moment, the two evil seeds are afraid that they are going in the direction of Qingyan City, and the city guard of Qingyan City used to be a subordinate of the eldest brother, and he will definitely not embarrass those two evil seeds." Let's rush to Qingyan City as much as possible, and solve these two evil seeds before this matter alarms the head of the family and the eldest brother. β
"Second brother, don't worry, the matter of rescuing Qianye is on me. The seventh master patted his chest and packed the ticket.
"Wait!" A ghostly light flashed in the second master's eyes, and he raised his hand to stop him, "You stay, I still have something important to discuss with you." β
He turned his head, looked at the elders, and said, "Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, can the two of you take action to rescue my son?" β
The Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder didn't say a word, they all got up and clasped their fists and said, "I am willing to serve the Second Master! I couldn't kill those two evil seeds back then, so that they escaped by luck, this time, the two of us will definitely kill them to get rid of future troubles! Please rest assured that the Second Master will definitely rescue Young Master Ye safely." β
"Okay, that's a lot of work. The second master watched the sixth elder and the seventh elder leave, and the rest of the elders expressed their anger again, and also left one after another, and in the end, only the second master, the fifth master, and the seventh master and the eighth master were left in the whole room.
The seventh master asked puzzledly, "Second brother, why didn't you let me save Qianye just now?"
The second master squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you read the letter from the third elder carefully? Who is the third elder? His strength is not below you and me, and he still has the golden tripod talisman given by the head of the family in his hand, so he can still lose Qian Ye and be helpless against the other party, do you think, how powerful is the other party? In addition, the other party also killed the sixth elder, it can be seen that there must be a master hidden in their team, if you go rashly, maybe you will become the next sixth elder." β
"Second brother, do you mean that there is a master hidden among them, so they have nothing to fear?"
The second master nodded frequently: "The third elder is not good for his guards, so that Qian Ye was arrested, and he came back alone, his words may not be credible." β
The fifth elder analyzed: "So, second brother, do you want to take the sixth elder and the seventh elder to test the strength of the other party first? If the sixth elder and the seventh elder can't even beat each other, it means that what the third elder said in his letter is true, and there is really a top master hidden in the other party's team, so we have to be cautious." β
"Yes, let's wait and see before we make another decision. The second master suddenly thought of something, turned his head to the fifth master and said, "You go and keep an eye on the ninth elder, I'm worried that he will find a way to find my eldest brother and call my eldest brother out of the pass, and then there will be extraneous branches." If it's not necessary, let's not alarm the eldest brother and father for the time being, and secretly solve the two evil seeds first. β
"Don't worry, I've long seen that the Ninth Elder is not pleasing to the eye, this time, find an opportunity to kill him, lest he become an obstacle to us. β
"Well, let's do it cleanly, and don't leave any evidence. The second master commanded, and then turned to the seventh master and the eighth master, "The two of you secretly went to Qingyan City, quickly connected with the third elder, and asked the ins and outs of the matter." Remember, don't show up for the time being, just observe the other party's strength in secret, and when you figure out the other party's situation, report back to me quickly. β
"Yes! The seventh and eighth masters were convinced.
The second master said again: "Fifth brother, you and I will sit in the base camp of the Long family, I want to see what skills these two evil seeds have to come back to the Long family......
The four brothers looked at each other, each sneering, calculating.
Blue Rock Castle.
Yunxi and his party entered the city of Qingyan City very smoothly, and it was getting dark at this time, and it was time for dinner.
The group then found an inn in the city to rest, and at this time, Long Qifeng and other masters also came from Baibi City to meet them.
"Strange, why is no one in this Qingyan City to embarrass us?" Yunxi looked around the inn, all of them were normal, with her intuition over the years, she didn't feel any intention of danger.
"Listening to what Uncle Chang said, the city official who guards Qingyan City now is my father's former subordinate, and I had some negotiations with him when I was young. Long Qianjue said as he was secretly observing the surroundings, and the rest of the people were hurrying to eat and rest, being in the realm of Panlong City, there might be danger at any time, and they didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
"I see, no wonder there were people in the two cities in front of us who embarrassed us, but when we arrived here, the gates of the city were wide open to welcome our arrival. Yunxi pursed his lips and began to hurry up to eat.
When they had finished their meal, the innkeeper came to him, and the time was just right.
"This guest officer, there is a guest upstairs who wants to meet you in person, and he has been waiting here for a long time. The shopkeeper looked at Long Qianjue, his right palm flipped over, and at the same time a wooden carving was revealed, the shape was very peculiar, but after Long Qianjue glanced at it, his expression immediately changed.
"Okay, please lead the way. Long Qian stood up and said.
"Qianjue, be careful of deception!" Yunxi grabbed his hand and shook his head at him.
"Don't worry, it's an old acquaintance. "Long Qianjudao.
"Then I'll go with you. Yunxi insisted.
Long Qianjue hesitated, and finally nodded in agreement. After explaining to the rest of the people, the couple followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor and came to a private room near the corner.
The shopkeeper took the two of them to the door of the box and greeted the people inside the door: "Officer Mu Cheng, the guest you are waiting for has arrived." β
There was a rush of footsteps from inside the door, and the door was pushed open suddenly, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man. When he faced Shang Long Qianjue, those ordinary eyes were no longer ordinary, and Yingying flashed with bright light.
"Please, please come in!" he turned sideways and welcomed the couple in.
Long Qianjue stared at him calmly, took Yunxi's hand, and passed by his side.
After Mu Chengguan closed the door, he walked quickly to Long Qianjue, his eyes flashed, he lowered his voice, and bowed down and said, "Young Master, I didn't expect that after more than ten years, you really came back." β
His voice was somewhat muffled.
Long Qian never spoke, looking at the other party extremely calmly, and the look in his eyes was suffocating.
Mu Chengguan took a few deep breaths and sighed, "Young Master, you shouldn't come back." Do you know the shape of the Long family now? Since that incident happened back then, the uncle has been in retreat and practice, not asking about the affairs of the Long family, and until today, sixteen years have passed, and the uncle has not been seen out of the customs. Today's Long family has long been the second master's world......"
"Retreat?" Long Qianjue coldly spat out two words, his eyes flashing with indescribable complexity.
"Yes! Because of that incident, the uncle was stimulated and kept in retreat. Those of us who used to follow the uncle were also expelled from the Long family's base camp by the second master one by one for various reasons, and scattered to various cities in Panlong City as errands. The subordinates are not bad, and they can still mix the errand of a city official, some people are dissatisfied with the second master's practice, and openly confront it, and they were assassinated by the people of the second master's party afterwards, and there is no trace of it. Mu Cheng official said.
"City officer, a good errand indeed. Long Qianjue said in a contemptuous tone.
Mu Chengguan's face turned red, and his head lowered a few inches: "Master Jue, there are several members of the subordinate family, and they are all waiting for their subordinates to support them, and their subordinates are also forced to do so." β
Long Qianjue raised his hand, unwilling to listen to his defense anymore: "That's it, I just ask you, do you know where Patriarch Zhenhai is, did he come to Long's house with a child?"
"Patriarch Zhenhai?" Mu Chengguan recalled, and said with a bow, "Yes, a few days ago, I did hear a report from someone that the ancestor of the Long family passed through Qingyan City and had a child with him, but he didn't stay here for long, and left Qingyan City directly." This person must be the Patriarch of Zhenhai, the young master asked this, but what happened? If there is any place where his subordinates can serve, his subordinates will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire. β
Hearing that there was indeed news of Zhenhai Patriarch and Xiaomo, Yunxi was overjoyed, pulled down Long Qianjue and said: "Let's hurry up and rush to the Long family, it will change later." β
"Young Master, do you really plan to go to the Long Family?" Hearing this, Mu Chengguan couldn't help but change color, and tried his best to stop him, "No! Now that most of the elders of the family have stood on the side of the second master, it is absolutely impossible for you to fight them, you can only go to death." β
Sixteen years ago, I didn't have enough strength, I was helpless, and in order to survive, I could only desperately escape from Panlong City. I still vividly remember that bloody night, who forced me to have no way to escape, had to jump into the river, and almost died. At that time, I made up my mind that I would take back the debts of those who had insulted and hurt my mother, those who had persecuted our brothers to be homeless, and those who had abandoned us, no matter who he was, and I would kill them all!" Long Qianjue's eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of ice, and he said word by word, "Today, when I come back, I will not retreat again." I just want to sue everyone in the SΓΉ Dragon family at the cost of blood, those who have hurt the people I care about, no matter who they are, will be killed!"
His right fist slammed into the table, his gaze as firm as iron, and the force seemed to pierce the table.
Mu Chengguan, who wanted to try to dissuade him, was shocked by his firm eyes, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.
Yunxi stretched out her hand and clenched his right fist tightly, feeling his power, and the flame in her heart also burned brightly.
Yes, this time, they are here to collect debts.
If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up!
"Who, get out of here!" Long Qianjue's eyes flashed, and he suddenly shouted at the roof of the box, and the sound wave spread far away, shaking the roof out of a hole.
Two masters floated lightly from the hole, their faces showed surprise, and their strange eyes stared at Long Qianjue, unable to believe that the person in front of them was the evil seed that was driven out of the Long family sixteen years ago.
"Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, why are you?" Mu Chengguan's right hand pressed on the saber at his waist, and he was very surprised to see the six elders and the seventh elder suddenly arrive.
The Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder didn't pay attention to him, but stared at Long Qianjue with unblinking eyes, and one of them asked, "Are you Long Qianjue?"
Long Qian was definitely the two of them, and the aura around him plummeted, and his eyes condensed to freezing point.
Is it them?!
"Jump! If you jump into the river, it will save the old man a lot of effort. β
"As long as you dare to jump, the old man will leave you with a whole corpse......!"
That cruel laughter still lingered in his ears, how could Long Qian never forget the faces of the two of them?
Well! just in time!
You sent it to the door yourself, and it saved him from having to find the door one by one to clean it up.
The corners of Long Qianjue's mouth were shallowly hooked, becoming more cruel and evil.
