Long Clan city... Long Clan Manor
A awkward youth of twelve or thirteen years old with bright red hair that looked like a flame, had face that stood out not for being handsome but for how peaceful it looked and ocean blue eyes that betrayed how he felt , stood in front of the 9 clan elders, in the Long Clan gathering hall, head high and eyes sad knowing the catastrophe that would await his clan in the next few years.
The clans mortal enemies the Do clan who have become the subordinate of the blood refining sect, which lies in the west, have started preparing to fully annilate our clan with the help of the bloody refining sect.
"Long Peng we know this is a heavy burden to bear for one your age, but it can not be helped as the next leader of our clan you need to know what might befall us" the head elder said.
"for centuries the Do Clan has been the Long Clan sworn enemy starting when they killed the young master of our clan until recently there were easily dealt with, but there was a prodigy born in their clan Do Jie who is 4 years older than you, recently he was accepted as the sect's masters disciple and it helped his clans status tremendously, if it was four hundred years ago the main clan could have protected our branch, but it was destroyed by an upper world sect" the Head Elder said as he looked around at the other elders and then at Long Peng "Your uncle, the last clan leader, who was murdered on the way back from paying respects to the Dao sect wanted to give you this when you reached Master level, but now since the clan is facing potential annihilation we are giving you this necklace which cannot be opened unless you are at the level of Master which your uncle barely managed to reach even with his peerless talent" the Head Elder said.
"Also Long Peng take this sword as it has been passed down since ancient times when the clan was the ruler of many worlds, its name… Jian Ling with its abilities to get stronger as you do it's a Demi-god tier weapon linked to your bloodline and once it has tasted your blood no one else may wield it, the sword also has another effect, since it drank the blood of your ancestors from the start of our clan the sword will purify and enhance your bloodline, therefore activating it" the Head Elder said.
The Head Elder slowly handed down the necklace and sword to Long Peng who had mixed feelings about these items as they may be a boon for him, but to give it to him at his age he knew his clan was done for. "you may head to the library to pick out Tier I body refining technique it's about time you start training, you are dismissed " said the Head Elder.
Long Peng slowly walked out of the Clan Manor to the Clan Library to pick out a training art "as long as I train hard and grow stronger then I will be able to save my clan" He thought. As soon as he stopped and was about to the enter the library he saw Actaeon, his late uncle's number one subordinate and head hunter for the Long Clan , Actaeon slowly nodded his head in acknowledgment of seeing him, Long Peng quickly nodded back, as he slowly entered the Clan Library.
In his eyes there was only a dragon statue calling him, urging him , and making him go closer to it, "Young one put your hand on my claw and i will be able to pick out an art suitable to you. Long Peng slowly put his hand on the claw, he saw a bright light flood from the dragons eyes then he saw nothing.
