Chapter 760: Chapter 757 Ancient ans… Cold-Blooded
Ye Xuan and his three companions simply walked out of the Long Family like that.
Along the way, Long Juanfeng and the others, upon seeing Ye Xuan, all had expressions as if they had seen a ghost, but they dared not show their faces or speak.
Only after Ye Xuan and his group had completely left did they dare to appear, gathering together with faces full of confusion.
“What’s going on? Didn’t the ancestor go to seek out the two most powerful Supre Elders? Could it be that those Supre Elders didn’t show up?”
“If that is really the case, should we send soone to follow them? Once the Supre Elders co out, we need to find these despicable fellows as soon as possible!”
“Don’t, absolutely not. If we dare to track them, we will surely die miserably. It’s better to wait for the Supre Elders to handle it after they erge since with their strength, they will definitely be able to find their whereabouts!” Long Juanfeng hurriedly interjected.
“Alas, that’s the only way. Within my Long Family, there is no one who can stop these people!”
Everyone sighed in agreent.
In fact, there were Saint Emperor Level ancestors lurking in the shadows, but they dared not let out even a sliver of their aura for fear of being targeted.
Once that happens, they too would die.
They were very clear that, in fact, the two Supre Elders had already co out of seclusion.
But now, Ye Xuan and his group were still leaving brazenly, so what did this an?
It ant that even the Supre Elders did not dare to do much and had to let these people leave freely.
If they still dared to stand out and seek death, then there really was no help for them.
“Eh? Ancestor!”
At this mont, an Elder noticed the previously seen black-haired old man walking out of the Divine Institute.
At this mont, the black-haired old man’s expression was exceedingly grave.
“Ancestor, what has happened?” Long Juanfeng and the others stepped forward to ask.
The black-haired old man glanced at Long Juanfeng and said in a heavy tone, “How many people in the clan have a direct blood relationship with Long Aotian?”
Long Juanfeng was stunned for a mont, not understanding the reason, but still truthfully answered, “There are seventy-three people in the Family Head’s line, sixty people in the Third Elder’s line, and there is also Supre Elder Long Ge.”
“Ancestor, what’s going on?” The Third Elder in the crowd couldn’t help but speak up, his face pale.
He felt that sothing was wrong.
The black-haired old man glanced at the Third Elder and said indifferently, “Kun Ancestor and Ling Ancestor have commanded that anyone with a direct bloodline to Long Aotian must choose to cripple their Cultivation, retire from the Long Family, and the Long Family will protect you clean for life. Those who are unwilling can choose to commit suicide or allow to deal with it personally.”
“What!?”
As soon as these words ca out, the entire place was shaken, and all found it unbelievable.
“Ancestor, why is this? We haven’t done anything!” the Third Elder said anxiously.
The black-haired old man spoke dispassionately, “These are the commands of the two Supre Elders, are you not going to obey?”
The Third Elder staggered back a few steps as if struck by lightning, and spoke in a disconcerted voice, “Ancestor, could you please give us a definite answer.”
Long Juanfeng and the others also looked towards the black-haired old man, their faces pale.
Although there were power struggles within the Long Family, this kind of sudden demand to cripple Cultivation was completely unheard of.
They, too, wanted an answer.
The black-haired old man looked around and sighed, “Do you all want to know?”
The crowd nodded.
The black-haired old man looked in the direction where Ye Xuan and the others had left and slowly said, “It’s because my Long Family offended soone utterly untouchable. Although that person did not intend to act against my Long Family, the Supre Ancestors said that if my Long Family does not make so gesture, we may inevitably make the other party dissatisfied.”
Now, the higher-ups of the Long Family all understood.
It was because of Ye Xuan!
“Even so, we don’t actually need to do it for real. We just need to put on a show, right?!” the Third Elder exclaid loudly.
The black-haired old man looked at him and said unhurriedly, “When you treat others like fools, it’s a sign that you yourself are a fool.”
The black-haired old man ignored the completely despairing Third Elder and turned to Long Juanfeng and the others, saying indifferently, “The Supre Ancestors have entrusted this matter to . It’s not only the people with a direct bloodline to Long Aotian but also those who participated in this matter that must cripple their Cultivation and live as Mortals.”
“Moreover, those lines whose Cultivation is crippled cannot pass down their lineage.”
This remark directly caused a change in the complexion of everyone present, including Long Juanfeng.
This was tantamount to a slow and painful death; it directly led to the extinction of the bloodlines of several branches, with no chance for revenge in the future.
It must be said, their ancestors could be utterly ruthless.
“Ancestor, those two ancient ancestors, are they really our ancestors? Why are they turning their backs on us?” The Third Elder seed to have thrown caution to the wind at this point and directly questioned the black-haired elder.
This question made the faces of Long Juanfeng and the others even paler; questioning the Ancestor was a grave offense.
But at this mont, they said nothing and instead stared intently at the black-haired elder, hoping to get an answer.
Surprisingly, the black-haired elder showed no anger but instead smiled faintly, “Then let ask you younger generations, do you know the nas of those two ancient ancestors?”
This question stumped everyone present.
Indeed, they did not know the nas of the two ancient ancestors, nor had they seen them; they only knew that they were the two Guardian Gods of the Long Family, and it was because of their existence that the Divine Dragon Azure Sea beca a top force in the East Desolate.
The black-haired elder took in the expressions of the crowd and seed to have anticipated this situation. He said lightly, “Just as you have limited knowledge about the two ancient ancestors, they too do not know your nas and have not seen you. The ancient ancestors want the Long Family to continue, as for your future, do you think they care?”
Having said that, the black-haired elder waved his hand.
The Third Elder imdiately let out a scream, his body aging rapidly.
Once full of youthful vitality, he now turned decrepit, his vital energy weak, and within short he was dead.
Deprived of cultivation, the Third Elder’s life force was exhausted.
This scene sent shockwaves of terror through the other elders.
“Ancestor, we did not partake in this matter,” Long Juanfeng couldn’t help but cry out.
“Whether you participated or not, I will certainly look into thoroughly, but first…” The black-haired elder’s voice paused, his gaze falling on Long Juanfeng, he said flatly, “The one who called for the Blood Killing Sect’s assassin was you, wasn’t it?”
Long Juanfeng’s face paled, and he hurriedly said, “No, not , I did not participate.”
Boom!
The next mont, Long Juanfeng turned into dust.
“The rest will just have their cultivation annulled, but anyone directly involved will die,” the black-haired elder declared, as ruthless as a Demon King.
A purge that shocked the entire Long Family had officially begun.
With countless wails and screams ca the rise of the new generation of leaders.
As a top force in the East Desolate, the Long Family had a strong reservoir of talent.
Even if these elders were killed, others would take their place.
This was also why a great power could prosper for so long.
These newly appointed Family Heads and Elders were all aware of the reasons behind their promotion and thus, their first action was to completely extinguish any seeds of hatred towards Ye Xuan.
From then on, there would absolutely be no words of dissatisfaction with Ye Xuan within the Long Family.
This was also the way for the Long Family’s ancestors to ensure that no one from Long Aotian’s line would seek revenge on Ye Xuan in the future, dragging down the Long Family with them.
It had to be said, that ancestor nad Long Kun was indeed decisive in his actions!
……
Outside the Divine Dragon Azure Sea.
“Senior, if the Long Family remains unscathed, there’s no guarantee that extre mbers won’t go after the people close to you,” Huang Yue couldn’t help expressing his worries.
Although he was from the Mountain God Dao and typically refrained from getting involved in squabbles, it did not an he was ignorant of the ways of the world.
He understood the principle that if the roots were not eradicated, the grass would grow again co spring.
Qiao Xinyu also looked at Ye Xuan with curiosity, thinking wouldn’t it be better to annihilate them altogether?
Ye Xuan replied with a faint smile, “By sparing their lives, I am giving them hope, and those who cling to hope will cherish it even more, hence they will know better what to do.”
“Does Senior an that Long Kun and Long Ling will handle the Long Family’s affairs?” Huang Yue mused thoughtfully.
Ye Xuan gave a slight nod, “Sotis problems don’t have to be solved by killing, but of course, sotis killing is necessary.”
“Next we’ll go to the Six Demon Sect, where killing might just be on the agenda…”
