Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Betraying Yang Junmo

Capital City suburbs, Dragon Family Ancestral Residence.

The entire Dragon family, from the servants to various branches, were enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

With the great influence of the Dragon family and the backing of the Zhao Family, who dared to defy them in the past hundred years?

But now, not only had someone dared, the whole city knew about it!

With the news of Dragon Zhi’s death returning to Capital City, the Dragon family had become the city’s biggest joke.

"Feng Xin Shu, you clashed with that young man, how do you assess his strength?"

In the council hall, a burly middle-aged man seated in the principal seat asked.

This middle-aged man had followed the military in his youth, and although not famous for military exploits, he was one of the few in the Dragon family not to rest on his laurels.

Of course, another important reason he could sit as the head of the Dragon family was that his son was named Long Xuan.

"Reporting to the Family Head, this young man’s methods are indeed strange and exceptional, proficient in Daoism swordsmanship, and his physical strength is no less than mine. If not for the difference in our realms, this old servant would have fallen for his tricks."

Although Feng Xin Shu’s words were sarcastic, demeaning Su Chengyu as nothing remarkable,

When faced with the Family Head’s questioning, Feng Xin Shu dared not boast or hold back any details.

"He isn’t a Nascent Soul? Then how could he possibly be a match for Little Li?"

Someone from the Dragon family couldn’t help but ask from the side.

Although Long Li was known within the Dragon family, as the number one person under Long Xuan,

Many in the Dragon family saw that the position of the second best in the world would eventually belong to Long Li.

Given time to grow, the two Dragon brothers could become like the legendary twin demon-slayers of the past!

Although feeling tremendous pressure, Feng Xin Shu still grimly reported, "That Su surname young man is only Golden Core."

The faces of the others changed, clearly finding this answer unbelievable.

"It must be the power of the Immortal Artifact!"

Some couldn’t believe that Long Li would lose to Su Chengyu and attributed the reason to Su Chengyu wielding an Immortal Artifact.

"It might also be that the Princess Lin An girl was abetting tyranny!"

Others believed that it must have been Lin An causing trouble by relying on her power.

Discussion buzzed nonstop, but clearly, no one believed Su Chengyu could defeat Long Li by his own strength.

"Enough! Do you want to disturb our ancestor again with such noise?"

As the words fell, everyone in the Dragon family instantly fell silent.

Longzhan scanned the crowd slowly and began to speak.

"I know the death of Little Li and the fall of Dragon Zhi have left you dissatisfied."

The relations between Dragon Zhi’s line and other branches of the Dragon family were sparse, but he was a Dragon by surname. Today the enemy dared to kill Long Li, who could guarantee that young man wouldn’t let that madwoman go after them tomorrow?

Su Chengyu alone was not enough for these people to mobilize, but Feng Jie Yu, behind him, was someone the Dragon family had to seriously consider.

"Did the ancestor really come out of seclusion?"

Longzhan shook his head, "He only spoke some instructions to me, not completely out of seclusion yet."

Although not a definite answer, everyone already felt a huge relief.

After all, with Patriarch of the Long Family in seclusion, their greatest worry was the patriarch dying or vanishing. As long as the patriarch was still alive, their Dragon family still had their own Land Immortal, not just dependent on the powerful Zhao Family.

With many branches in the bloodline of the Grand Ancestor, the existence of the Patriarch of the Long Family was crucial for their current status.

"But even if the ancestor isn’t here, our Dragon family can’t just swallow this insult. Manager, has it been confirmed that the other party will come to the Capital City in two months?"

"Yes, master. This information was personally brought back by Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon, Xu Zijing, and has already been reported to the Royal Family. If the other party breaches this, they will no longer have a foothold in Xia Country."

Longzhan nodded, just about to speak when suddenly, a domineering aura came rushing in from outside.

Without any announcement, the intruder burst into the Dragon Family Ancestral Residence, heading straight for the council hall.

"Who dares to barge into the Dragon family’s inner sanctum?!"

Longzhan’s expression darkened instantly; he hadn’t expected someone to provoke the dignity of the Dragon family within the Capital City.

The voice of inquiry met with no reply, forcing Longzhan to take action himself. A robust palm strike was launched, identical to the move Feng Xin Shu had used to injure Su Chengyu’s soul.

How bold, Longzhan! The princess herself is here, and the Dragon family doesn’t even greet her, is this how your family treats its guests?!

The robust palm strike was completely neutralized, intercepted by a swordswoman beside Lin An, who looked angrily at Longzhan as she escorted Lin An to the front of the Dragon family’s great hall.

"Princess Lin An?"

Longzhan was slightly surprised, but not overly alarmed. He bypassed the swordswoman and directly addressed Lin An from behind, "Your Highness, are you here to plead for that young man with the surname Su?"

"Plead? You either underestimate me too much or overestimate yourself too much."

Lin An spoke with a cold detachment, having never harbored much affection for the Dragon family.

There was no need to mention Long Li; she utterly despised Long Xuan, who was so full of himself.

"Then what is Your Highness doing here in person?"

Longzhan continued to inquire.

"Nothing much, just that the emperor asked me to return this item to the Dragon family."

The Nine Provinces Cloud-Stepping Scroll flew out of Lin An’s hand, heading straight for Longzhan. Sensing the oncoming force of the scroll, Longzhan, careful not to underestimate it, leapt forward to securely protect this ink treasure passed down from the Grand Ancestor.

Seeing Longzhan, a hollow void cultivator, being so cautious, everyone immediately realized that Princess Lin An had entered the Nascent Soul level.

"Your Highness, this is an ink treasure from the Grand Ancestor. Aren’t you afraid of damaging the Grand Ancestor’s relic by being so careless?"

The opponent came with an aggressive momentum, and naturally, Longzhan wasn’t inclined to give too much face.

"And you sent Dragon Zhi with this ink treasure to meet Senior Feng? Was that being careful?"

Upon hearing this, Longzhan’s brow instantly furrowed. He hadn’t expected that the young man with the surname Su had such a connection with Feng Jie Yu. If he had known earlier, even if it offended Lin An, he would never have allowed Dragon Zhi to take this treasure to Kun County.

After carefully securing the Nine Provinces Cloud-Stepping Scroll, Longzhan looked at Lin An and asked, "Did His Majesty say anything else when he asked Your Highness to come here in person?"

"Why don’t you ask him yourself? I’m not a messenger."

Lin An’s words were cold; if it weren’t for other considerations, she wouldn’t have bothered coming to the Dragon family at all, let alone be their messenger.

"I may not have conveyed the emperor’s words, but I do have something to remind you myself. Dragon Zhi’s death was his own doing. I advise you not to harbor any ill intentions. You should be well aware of Senior Feng’s disposition."

Longzhan remained silent, Feng Jie Yu’s intervention being both justifiable and rational.

Although somewhat overbearing, one could not offend the authority of a Land Immortal. Since Dragon Zhi had brought this misfortune upon himself, they had no choice but to accept it.

Yet Longzhan clearly understood that Lin An’s implied meaning went beyond just the matter of Dragon Zhi.

Longzhan rose and addressed Lin An, "But for the death of Li, the Dragon family will certainly not drop the matter quietly."

"Don’t blame me for not warning you—if anything happens to Su Chengyu, I absolutely won’t let the Dragon family off!"

After dropping these words, Lin An turned to leave, but just as she was about to do so, she suddenly stopped.

"Oh right, aren’t you curious how Su Chengyu managed to kill Long Li"

"Did Princess Lin An also assist?"

Longzhan narrowed his eyes slightly. If that were the case, even if they couldn’t directly do anything to Lin An, they would surely report the matter upward.

"Unfortunately, I didn’t make it. But that young man Yang Junmo did have a hand in it. If you hold any grudges, go find Yang Junmo."
