Chapter 6058: The Warm Long Xue
Whoosh!
Multiple chains suddenly rained down from the sky like torrential rain, binding all the Totem Dragon Clansmen in place. Only Chu Feng, Wang Qiang, and Bai Yunqing weren’t bound by the chains.
“It’s been a while, young friend Chu Feng.”
An elder descended from the sky and landed on the flying warship.
“You are... Long Lin?”
Chu Feng stared at the dying old man before him, unsure if he was seeing things. The Long Lin he knew wasn’t this old.
“Haha! I hope my appearance didn’t scare you?” Long Lin asked with a chuckle.
“LONG LIN!!!”
The Totem Dragon Clansmen bared their teeth at Long Lin. They wanted to charge at him and kill him, but they were too weak to break out of the chains that shackled them.
“Stay still. You still don’t get what’s going on?”
Long Lin took out a token he had personally forged. This token should have been massive, but it was compressed to the size of a normal token. It emanated a powerful aura that suppressed the Totem Dragon Clansmen’s bloodline.
Chu Feng realized why the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief and the others would suddenly fall into such a weakened state. It must be related to the token and the ancestral dragon’s remains.
“Long Lin, what did you do to Lord Ancestral Dragon?” The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief couldn’t remain calm anymore upon seeing the token.
“There’s no need to be nervous now. I didn’t do this to deal with you; I’m doing this for the Totem Dragon Clan’s sake. I lured you here today not to kill you but to return the Totem Dragon Clan to you,” Long Lin said while holding onto the token.
“Bullshit! What are you scheming?” the Totem Dragon Clan’s elders roared.
“Is there a need for me to lie to you? You do know I can kill you right now?”
Long Lin shook his head with a sigh. All of a sudden, he turned to the setting sun before saying, “Let’s go with this for now. We’ll discuss this in detail tomorrow. You just have to know that I’m helping you and the Totem Dragon Clan.”
With that, he waved his sleeves and bound the flying warship with his martial power. Then, he grabbed Chu Feng and left the area.
He was so fast that it didn’t take long for them to arrive at their destination. They didn’t head to the ancestral dragon’s remains but a formation realm inside a mountain forest.
“What are you up to?” Chu Feng asked.
“There’s no rush, young friend Chu Feng. I’ll tell you everything you want to know. Speaking of which, you are looking for this person, right?”
Long Lin reached into his Cosmos Sack, grabbed a tuft of hair, and pulled out a human.
It was Jia Lingyi.
Jia Lingyi looked nowhere as imposing as her usual self. Her eyes were glazed, and she was salivating uncontrollably like a fool.
“You were the one who captured her? Why?” Chu Feng asked.
“Because of you.
“I know you’re a sentimental man. Even when hope is bleak, you’d still tenaciously pursue every clue relating to your grandmother. That’s why I captured Jia Lingyi and spread those lies. I didn’t expect it to lure you over so quickly, but I’m guessing you just so happened to be with the Totem Dragon Clan?
“There’s no one tracking my movements more closely than them. They would have been the first ones to hear any news about me. I’m glad it worked out!” Long Lin laughed heartily.
“So, Jia Lingyi didn’t say those words?” Chu Feng was disappointed.
“Look at her. She has gone mad. I tried everything I could but I couldn’t treat her, and she refused to say anything too. Young friend Chu Feng, I hope you don’t blame me. I wanted to see you so much that I had no choice but to weave such a lie,” Long Lin replied.
“You weren’t the one who destroyed the Pill Dao Immortal Sect, right?” Chu Feng asked.
“Of course not. I went over to take a look too; I’m not capable of producing those flames. Without a doubt, a Heavenly God is behind it. Your grandmother’s previous sect was adept at using flames, so I do think there’s a good chance that your grandmother is still alive. Otherwise, it could also be a hidden expert from your grandmother’s sect,” Long Lin said.
This was all a deduction on his part.
There were rumors that his grandmother was already dead, but Chu Feng knew that she was still alive.
“Is Elder Long Xue doing better now?” Chu Feng asked.
He knew why Long Lin was in a rush to find him. It was not for vengeance but to treat Long Xue.
Long Lin was indeed a despicable man, but there was one thing he didn’t lie about—he meant it when he said that he had usurped power from the Totem Dragon Clan just to save Long Xue.
Even though Chu Feng had stolen the dragon essence, he had stabilized Long Xue’s condition before leaving.
“Thanks to you, Xue’er has regained consciousness. I feel apologetic about it. I schemed against you, yet you still helped me.” Long Lin hung his head in shame.
Just then, Long Lin descended into a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fencing.
There was a stone pavement in the courtyard, with lilies planted all around. A mouth-watering fragrance was coming from the hut. Through the ajar door, Chu Feng could see delicacies on the table inside the hut.
An ugly but exquisitely dressed old lady was standing by the doorway. She was Long Xue.
She had been a prodigy whose name was mentioned alongside with the incumbent Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief. Many aspired to be like her. During that time, she secretly got together with Long Lin.
But the world played a trick on her.
She had been destined for a bright future, but she caught a weird disease that caused her cultivation to stagnate, and her face turned incomparably ugly too. Those who had previously courted her disappeared without a trace, and even her family shunned her too.
Long Lin was the only one who accompanied her to this day. In fact, he was only trapped in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm because he was looking for something to treat her.
“Young friend Chu Feng, we finally meet,” Long Xue said with a warm smile.
Chu Feng could tell that she wasn’t the type to resort to unscrupulous means to achieve her goal, unlike Long Lin. She was a truly warm person.
