Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 49-
"Spirit Monarch Niece, I may have promised you I wouldn’t harm the Long Family, but that was contingent on the Su Family remaining unharmed.
"You should return to the Sect as soon as possible. The only reason I emerged from seclusion is that the Sword Ancestor is intent on recruiting Su Miaoyu.
"Even though I managed to severely injure several of the Sword Ancestor’s elders before I arrived at Dragon City, I can’t guarantee they won’t send stronger experts to retaliate.
"After all, you are the daughter of the Heaven Institute’s Head and the strongest disciple of our Sect. If the Sword Ancestor takes their anger out on you, you can’t blame me for it."
Upon hearing this, everyone present finally understood.
No wonder the members of the Sword Ancestor had yet to appear. They had been intercepted by Shangguan He, the Great Elder of the Martial Ancestor’s Ground Institute!
Otherwise, with Su Miaoyu’s Emperor’s Pulse Talent, the Sword Ancestor would have surely done everything in its power to recruit her. If they failed, they would never have let the Martial Ancestor have her!
Long Chen was unconcerned. "The Su Family Head, Su Feng, and the Great Elder, Su Kun, are dead. Su Ao and Su Jun are also dead, and Su Xun is crippled. The current Su Family has no top-tier combat power and no successor. All that’s left is Second Elder Su Lie and a band of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. What difference does it make whether they are annihilated or not?"
As Long Chen’s words fell, everyone from the Su Family heaved a collective sigh of relief. Although the Su Family was no longer on par with the Long Family, at least it would survive!
As long as they waited for Su Miaoyu to rise, the Su Family would surely restore its former glory, perhaps even reaching greater heights!
"Long Xin, you heard what Shangguan He said, didn’t you?" Chu Lingjun said coldly. "Although I’d like to give you time to say goodbye to your family, the situation doesn’t allow for it. Come with me."
"Long Chen, we should leave too," Chen Yao urged with a frown. She naturally didn’t want to incur the Sword Ancestor’s wrath because of the Ground Institute.
Although they all belonged to the Martial Ancestor, they were from different institutes. While they would unite against a common enemy, suffering a one-sided loss for another institute’s sake was out of the question!
"Third Uncle, please tell my father for me that he abandoned me for the sake of the Long Family. I don’t hate him for it. In fact, I am grateful for the kindness he showed in raising me."
Long Xin bowed to Long Dou, then looked toward Long Chen. "Big Brother, I’ll be waiting for you at the Martial Ancestor."
"Alright, be careful on the road!" Long Chen nodded.
Chu Lingjun took out the Martial Golden Lotus. As it grew in size, both she and Long Xin stepped onto it.
As the Martial Golden Lotus carried Chu Lingjun and Long Xin into the sky and departed, Chen Yao brought a hand to her mouth and blew a sharp whistle.
The whistle had barely sounded when a white crane flew in from the distant sky.
"Sister Ling Yan, thank you for recommending Long Chen and helping our Human Institute gain such a prodigy. I will remember this kindness," Chen Yao said, clasping her fist in thanks. As the white crane landed beside her, she leaped onto its back.
"Long Chen, let’s hurry to the Martial Ancestor before any complications arise," Chen Yao urged.
Long Dou suddenly spoke up, "Steward Chen, please wait a moment. I have a few words for Chen’er." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Chen Yao looked at him and nodded. "Alright, but be quick."
Under everyone’s gaze, Long Dou led Long Chen to a spot farther away.
"This is something your mother left for you. She instructed me to give it to you only when you reached the War King Realm or awakened your constitution."
Long Dou took a wooden box from his Storage Bag. The box was about the size of a human head. It was very light, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
"Once you are at the Martial Ancestor, you must be careful and cautious. Always remember, while you should not harbor malice toward others, you must never let your guard down.
"There, I won’t be able to help you with anything. You will have to rely entirely on yourself," Long Dou said, patting Long Chen’s shoulder. "I hope the item your mother left for you can help you turn ill fortune into good. You should go now."
"Something my mother left for me?" Long Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but redden.
