The cruelty of the Long family

In the face of everyone's respectful welcome, Ji Xuan showed no interest at all. He didn't even look up and said indifferently, "It has nothing to do with you."

Patriarch Sun, Patriarch Gao, and Patriarch Lu appeared nervous. Although they had said that, they did not dare to leave this man alone. At this moment, they felt a bit of regret in their hearts. If I had known earlier, I would have visited the Long family later. Now, meeting the city lord directly was really embarrassing.

The atmosphere in the scene gradually became serious. Long Chen looked at the patriarchs in front of him and said in a playful tone, "Why do you want to meet me?"

Patriarch Gao, Patriarch Sun, and Patriarch Lu swallowed nervously and quickly said, "Leader Long, during your absence these years, we did not want to invade your Long family, but we had no other choice..."

"That's right! At that time, the Feng family threatened us and demanded we target the Long family."

After they learned that the Feng family had been destroyed, and Long Chen's cultivation level had reached the innate world, they were completely scared. You should know that the strongest person in their families now is only at the ninth level of the Spiritual Cleansing Realm. With such strength, how could they fight against the Long family?

Upon hearing these unreasonable comments, Long Chen's eyes were cold. He lifted his head slightly and smiled sarcastically, "According to what you said, you are also victims?"

When they heard these words, the patriarchs trembled, and cold sweat began to pour from them in fear: "No, no, no, over the years, even though we were threatened, our families did many foolish things."

"To compensate for the losses suffered by the Long family in recent years, our families are willing to donate 50% of our family properties as compensation."

"From today on, our families are willing to follow the Long family without hesitation!"

"Yes."

Long Chen appeared impatient and waved his hand to signal them to be quiet. When the scene quieted down again, he said coldly, "My Long family has suffered. If I hadn't come out of seclusion, I fear the Long family would have been exterminated, right? Why are you afraid now?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire meeting hall became extremely gloomy. Everyone in the Gao, Sun, and Lu families was so scared that they remained silent. Patriarch Gao was the only one who had the courage and was about to say something, but Long Chen interrupted him: "We will discuss these matters later. Now, I am very curious about one thing. I wonder if Patriarch Gao can answer it."

When Patriarch Gao saw that the other party called his name directly, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said tremblingly, "Please... please tell me."

"Before I went into seclusion, I spent a lot of money to buy a medium-grade Spiritual Cleansing Pill from the Treasure Pavilion established by the Gao family. However, after taking it, I found that the pill had been tampered with and contained a type of poison. I almost failed in my breakthrough. Patriarch Gao, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Long Chen's eyes were cold, and his words were already filled with killing intent. As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a huge stone falling into calm water, causing an uproar in the entire audience!

Patriarch Gao's heart suddenly pounded, and he felt something was wrong. Seriously, he didn't expect Long Chen to say this to his face! Damn! Didn't Feng Yang say that this poison was colorless and odorless, and even an innate realm cultivator couldn't withstand it after taking it?! Patriarch Gao cursed Feng Yang madly in his heart.

When he heard that Long Chen had come out of seclusion, he thought the other party hadn't taken the Spiritual Cleansing Pill and relied solely on his own strength to break through, thus successfully avoiding the poison. But when he listened to the other party's accountability, he immediately understood that he had misjudged and that something big was going to happen!

All the members of the Gao family were stunned by the audacity of their family leader. Patriarch Sun and Patriarch Lu looked at Patriarch Gao as if they were looking at a fool. Do you know this is Long Chen! Do you dare to poison him so directly? Aren't you worried about your plan failing and being retaliated against by the other party?

Ji Xuan, who was sitting on the grand elder's chair, also looked at Patriarch Gao with a strange expression on his face. It was impossible to kill Long Chen even by poisoning a Spiritual Cleansing Pill. What a bunch of losers.

At this time, Long Nian opened his eyes wide and was extremely shocked. He didn't expect the master of his family to face such a danger while in seclusion! Thinking of this, a wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart.

Immediately after, he stepped out from behind Long Chen, came to the crowd, pointed his finger at Patriarch Gao, and said angrily: "What a Gao family! You guys are really brave! How dare you tamper with the elixir? You plan to poison our clan leader, but if the clan leader didn't have a way to resolve the poison, you would have succeeded. You did such a despicable thing, and you still want our Long family to forgive you? Bah! Keep dreaming! This kind of thing will make you die ten thousand times without regret!"

The angry voice echoed in the hall, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Ji Xuan cast a glance at Long Nian and saw a young man, and couldn't help but smile. With only the first level of the Spiritual Cleansing Realm, he dared to jump in front of so many people and angrily reprimand the head of the Gao family, a master of the ninth level of the Spiritual Cleansing Realm. He was truly brave.

At this time, when Patriarch Gao saw that he was being reprimanded in this way by a junior, he suddenly felt he was losing face, and his face turned dark suddenly. But before Patriarch Gao could speak, his son Gao Jingshan spoke first: "What an outrageous thing! If Patriarch Long holds you accountable, I naturally have nothing to say, but my father is also the head of the family, how can you, a junior like you, accuse him as you please? Is this the education of your Long family?"

When the members of the Gao family saw that City Lord Ji Xuan was here, the Long family wouldn't dare go too far, so their courage became much greater. After being accused by Gao Jingshan, Long Nian's anger grew stronger, and his chest kept heaving with rage. But this time, he endured it and immediately looked at his family leader.

When Long Chen saw this, he turned to look at Gao Jingshan, his eyes cold, and said sternly: "What are the laws of my Long family? Why do I need outsiders to teach us? I really don't know how to live or die. Nian Er, go and kill him, let him understand the truth that disaster comes from the mouth."

Seeing that the other party was so eager to protect his shortcomings, Patriarch Gao's expression changed: "Leader Long, no matter what, you are a prominent person. This junior is ignorant, how can you stoop to his level?"

Long Chen's expression did not change. But Long Nian could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He quickly stepped forward, raised his arm, and struck directly at Gao Jingshan's Dantian.

"Do you dare to teach our patriarch how to do things?! I should destroy your Dantian first before killing you!"

As soon as the words fell, Long Nian's hand plunged into Gao Jingshan's abdomen!
